Chapter 452 - Turning Everything Upside Down(Part-3) (1/2)

Ryuu opened his eyes as he felt one of his fellow cultivators approach him, he looked towards the person who greeted him with a slight bow which he returned with a nod of his head.

”Is there anything that I can be of help brother?”

”Yes, we the Deva realm cultivators would like to seek an audience with you.”

Ryuu frowned at his words as he replied back to him, ”Brother please we are cultivators of similar realm and status there is no need to be extra polite, of course, any one of you can always approach me, there is no need to ask for permissions.”

With his piece said Ryuu stood up from his seat as he followed after the cultivator, a few days ago they had finally managed a decisive blow and rescue the cultivators from the Deva realm, but their struggle was not over yet, they had to be treated and kept under strict watch so that they could slowly overcome and rise above their ordeal and it would take some time and Ryuu hoped over the years they would heal somewhat.

Ryuu looked outside to see the rain hammering down the ground hard, they would have moved on to the next level but most of the area was covered by red hot lava as such with popular vote it was decided that the group would rest inside the fort for the time being.

As Ryuu reached his destination one of the cultivators approached him as she spoke with a smile,” Brother Ryuu, welcome and thank you for keeping your promise to me.”

Ryuu faintly recall the cultivator who had broken down and cried on his shoulder asking for his help, and he had promised her that he would help her, and he had fulfilled his promise may be in a crude way, but the end result is the same.

Ryuu simply smiled before he spoke with a pained look on his face, ”That may be Sister but I wish we could have dealt with them much faster.”

The cultivator simply smiled as she spoke, ”What you have done is more than anyone would have, you have broken them, their vast armies are gone, and then you not only avenged us but also saved us we have no way to repay you.”

Ryuu simply waved her off as he spoke, ”There is no need to repay me, and this is something any cultivator would do.”

”So, what will you do now, Daoist Ryuu?”

”I entered this place with a goal, the goal to conquer the fifteenth level, and I would like to pursue it.”

”The fifteenth Level, you mean the still unconquered level!!”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Yes that is my goal, we are already at the twelfth a bit more push and maybe I can conquer the fifteenth.”

One of the cultivators approached him as he spoke with a frown on his face, ”The fifteenth floor, I have heard about it, a few have managed to reach the fourteenth and even fewer have managed to capture it but the fifteenth none has managed to take it down, it would be quite the challenge.”

Ryuu nodded as the person continued to speak in a regretful tone, ”Upon saying that, I am ashamed to say that our cultivators are not in their pristine conditions as such I am afraid we might not be able to lend you any help to...”

Ryuu quickly raised his hand to stop him from speaking as he hurriedly spoke in a scandalized tone, ”Please brother, there is nothing to apologize, after such horrendous ordeal I cannot in good conscious ask you all to help me, now is the time to heal and recuperate for you all, it would be criminally immoral to force you to do anything otherwise.”

The person simply cupped his hand and bowed as he spoke, ”Thank you for understanding brother, though by the time you make your attempt for the fifteenth level if some of us have managed to be in good health we will join you.”

Ryuu simply gave a small pat on his shoulder as he spoke, ”Thank you in advance and please remember brother not to push yourself too much, if you feel unease then there is no need to force yourself.”

A few more minutes later Ryuu had left the group of Deva realm cultivators as he made his way towards his own group.

Frost Fames opened her eyes with a smile on her face, ”Ryuu, why did they want to speak with you?”

Ryuu let out a tired sigh as he sat beside Frost Flames before he began to speak, ”Simple they wanted to thank me as well as convey me that how very sorry they feel for not being able to help us at all.”

Frost Flames frowned as she began to speak with a nod, ”I understand that many of them had suffered such horrendous ordeal for them not to help us presently is understandable but there were a few who have been with us from the beginning they should have at least lend us their strength.”

Ryuu bit his lips as he replied back, ”In a way, it is both good and bad.”
