Chapter 443 - Putting a lid on a jar(Part-3) (1/2)

”Ryuu!”, a familiar cry came to his ears that soothed his heart, with a wide grin he spread his hands as Frost Flames entered his embrace, her sweet scent entered his nose as he lost himself forgetting every kind of worries that were plaguing him.

The sound of clearing of the throat brought them out of their daydream as smirking Su-Min spoke, ”If you two are done please notice us, lowly mortals, as well.”, her smirk then turned to a sad frown as she spoke, ”We lost twelve of ours in the confrontation, and nearly all of us are injured with ten in critical we do not know If we can move with them in tow.”

Ryuu frowned at her words as he spoke, ”That will not do, we have to leave this place, our base is gone and we do not know when we might get attacked again.”, he thought for a moment before he spoke again, ”Take me to them and let me see what I can do for them.”

Su-Min nodded as she quickly led Ryuu towards the injured people, he inspected them for a moment before giving each of them some pills that would enable them to treat various poisons running through their veins before he could even start to heal them.

'This won't do, we have to move from here but they need their rest but what to do.', suddenly he wanted to bash his head on a rock, 'Of course I have the means to carry them.'

He then turned towards the nearest cultivator as he spoke quickly, ”Brother please inform those who have a knack for creating things to quickly create something on like a bed with a canopy to protect the person sleeping on it from rain, it did not need to be a state of the art item, but a few pieces of wood stuck together would suffice as well, and oh tell them to work fast.”

The person gave simply nodded as he left and a few minutes later small bed-like structure enough for three people to sleep in one of them easily appeared as Ryuu quickly helped them to carry the injured inside it, a couple of talisman's slapped on it followed by a pulse of KI the wooden structures were airborne.

”We are going to tow them with us towards the location of our next base.”

Su-Min's eyes widen slightly as she spoke, ”Ah I remember you used a similar method to get away from the gate after we escaped the second level.”

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke with a small smile, ”You are right, it was something similar that I had used, now let us move we have some distance to cover and I do not believe our injured brother and sisters would appreciate being wet.”

As the group moved Ryuu could not help but ask out in hushed tone, ”Sister Frozen do you remember her subordinates what happened to them?”

Frozen Ocean send a small smirk towards him as she spoke, ”I might have slipped that they are his subordinates, they were interrogated and killed off.”

Ryuu nodded at her answer as he spoke, ”Such a waste if only they had not associated with a traitor.”

Frozen Ocean nodded in agreement before she continued to speak again though her tone dropped suddenly so low that even Ryuu had difficulty to hear, ”Though during the interrogation one of them mentioned that the traitor was receiving instructions from someone from our group, someone whose identity is not known to them, Chianyu and Devaraj decided to keep the result amongst us, especially the part where she had someone giving out orders to her, it might cause a problem for our group.”

Zywia, who was floating nearby spoke with a scowl on her face, ”We burned the body of those traitors along with our enemies, though they were rather adamant that they knew nothing about Chasing winds plans.”, she lowered her voice just like Frozen Ocean as she continued to speak, ”From the looks of it I believe that Winds double-crossed whoever her master was if what those cultivators said is true.”

Ryuu rubbed his chin his minds swimming in deep thought only to be brought out of it as Frost Flames nudged him, ”Ryuu is everything alright, I was calling you for some time now.”

Ryuu simply smiled at her as he spoke in a reassuring tone, ”There is nothing to worry Frost I was simply trying to think how they would retaliate.”

Frost Flames eyes widen briefly but before she could speak Severing Saber intervened, ”Ah, Young Daoist Brother Ryuu may I have a word.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Of course senior brother how may I help you?”

Severing Saber replied with a soft sigh and a frown on his face, ”If I remember you and brother True-Spear both of you left to keep an eye on the gate so how did they go pass both of you.”

With a wary smile, Ryuu was about to reply only for True-Spear to speak on his behalf, ”There are at least two gates.”
