Heavenly Dao Child 133 A troublesome message

Neacht scowled as she went towards her friends, after finding Pangu they have been moving from one place to another honing their skills when all of a sudden she received a troubling message from her father which was the cause of her current scowling face.

Melina usually teases her and starts a fight but seeing the serious look on Neacht's face she kept herself from starting another fight.

Zarin raised her eyebrow as she spoke, "Is something troubling you Sister."

Neacht nodded her head as she spoke, "Yes sister the purpose of the attack done during Sylvana's wedding by that creep came into light."

Melina, "So what of it I do not see any reason for you to be worried for any harm to befall those scums."

Neacht gave a scathing glare as she spoke, "I know that Melina, but they attacked in order to steal a part of the key."

Apolonia: "What key are you talking about? Pangu do you have any idea regarding it?"

Pangu: "There are many such treasures in the vaults of Ayindril, but there is one such item I remember, it opens some vault of the Ancients, the translations of their language are a bit sketchy because of our lack of knowledge of their language but the item was a part of a key which could be used to unlock a vault which according to scholars would grant you according to some great strength and according to others cause death."

Neacht gave a sigh as she spoke, "Well seems those who interpreted the latter seemed to be correct."

At that everyone was interested as the spoke in unison, "Explain."

Neacht began with a deep sigh, "well….."

Few weeks back a group of people arrived in Ayindril, they winced at seeing the gloomy atmosphere hanging around the place they had heard about the incident with their first born as such they could not help but feel pity for them specially seeing the dead look in the eyes of a once proud man.

Ceallcach winced at that not only Maheswara but his entire family had that look on their face, the worst was Nuwa whom no one had seen since that day she usually spends her day inside her son's room looking at Pangu's belongings all day long.

Ceallcach shuddered the first time he met Maheswara after the incident he was like a raving lunatic but he had somewhat managed to bring him and his family out of the funk with his words, he gave himself a mental pat on his back for job well done but now the entire family was focused on finding and begging Pangu for forgiveness and as for Jose, he shuddered in fear the girls can be sadistic and vicious some of the things he heard he would not wish even his most bitterest enemy to suffer them.

It took a few days for them to catalogue every item from the destroyed vault before they could get the items missing.

Ceallcach, Menelaos, Rishit and few others were in intense discussion with Maheswara regarding the theft of items from the vault of Ayindril each of this items if they fall in wrong hand can cause catastrophic disaster which unfortunately is the problem they are facing now.

Rishit: "A key fragment, and where does this key fragment lead to Maheswara?"

Maheswara frowned as he spoke, "This key fragment originally belonged to Jose himself, when my wife and I 'killed' him he got the key fragment from his 'corpse', along with a stone stelae which had information regarding it written in the language of the ancients, you know how the language of the ancients is difficult to translate well according to the stone stelae which when translate gives double meaning according to one gives Godly strength another version meant the end of creation."

At that everyone frowned both of this versions were troubling a deviant like Jose with unlimited power or the end of creation both are troubling as such one of them spoke, "It will be difficult to find where the cur is hiding as such recovering those items will be difficult if not nigh impossible."

Maheswara gave a blood thirsty smirk as he spoke, "Oh you do not have to worry each of those items have a powerful tracking array, and as such it is only a matter of time before we find them."

Suddenly Celestia appeared as she spoke with a smirk, "We have located those items and they are in one place currently."

Menelaos spoke with a grin, "So why are we waiting it is time for us to get even I have to pay him for putting the scar on him."

At that many of them agreed mirroring their grin they were present what they are calling now as the 'Red Wedding', where they lost some of their people as well as many got injured as such they were vying for blood.

The very next day an army comprising of a few thousand strong cultivators made their way towards the last known location of Jose, the force were consisted by the people who had sworn their allegiance with the powers led by the people who were present during the meeting, the largest contributor being Ayindril herself.

Maheswara and his entire family had joined the battle, and in an separate unspoken agreement everyone had decided to steer clear out of Maheswara and his family's path specially Nuwa's path whose eyes were burning with intense hatred and anger and maybe a pinch of madness, they did not want to draw the attention of an enraged woman by stealing her prey.

They reached a planet which was the last known location of Jose, they very same planet where they had tried to open the vault a few days ago.

Ceallcach, "Something is wrong the planet seemed to be dead there are no living beings present here even though there are traces of living creatures present here, no living creature even an ant could be found here", causing many to frown and tensed hearing that.

Soon they found themselves in front of a vault, as they neared they found the broken puppet lying there as they neared they saw many clothes, weapons, space rings, etc. lying around.

One of the man spoke, "Man are they having a naked party or what why did they through their belongings here.", as he went in order to touch a halberd lying on the ground only to stop under the harsh shout of Maheswara, "Stop do not touch who knows they might be bobby trapped."

Celestia: "The missing items are all inside the vault."

Nuwa spoke angrily, "What are we waiting for let us charge in."

Neaera : "Patience sister they might be waiting to ambush us so please do not try charge in."

Another spoke up, "I do not understand why I cannot feel the life force of any living being inside the vault with my cultivation technique it would be easier."

Everyone who heard frowned at that the speaker was a great sensor for him to say something like that was troubling.

Rishit ordered a person standing close to him, "You take 50 men and scout the vault now."

The aforementioned person puffed his chest as he spoke, "Yes Sir."

While inwardly he was crying, 'Why oh why did I have a bad luck whoever cursed me with such luck if I die today I will haunt you today for all eternity.'

After almost an hour the men came out, "Your lordship there is nothing inside except a few corpses which seemed to have died a few days ago because of traps, but the most important thing is that the dead bodies seemed to have their spirit veins and dantians crippled, moreover there is small tomb inside the vault and like outside there are belongings of some of people lying there but no persent is present also I would like to report that there is a presence of an empty coffin."

As they checked they found every stolen item from Ayindril causing them to frown at the mystery in hand.

Nuwa meanwhile was trying to decipher the writings of the ancients present inside the vault especially near the tomb.

Mahewara: "Everyone conduct a sweep through any nearby planetary systems for any clues."

A few hours later the scouts returned except a few destroyed planets where the Ki of Jose was predominant indicating his hands in their destructions, they gave a troubling news like this planet many others had all their living beings disappeared the only thing spared are the clothing of any sentient being residing on the planet and the dead.

Neacht delivered the news to her friends who themselves frowned at that as she continued speaking, "From what Lady Nuwa had so far deciphered that something or someone was kept imprisoned inside the coffin stored inside the vault and Jose might have released it.", she took a deep breath as she spoke, "As such our parents ordered as to return home immediately."

At that everyone frowned as Pangu spoke with a calm smile on his face, "Well friends who knows what danger had been unleashed upon the world it is time for you all to return home."

Netik, "What are you talking about we are not leaving you here alone."

Before Pangu could protest Apolonia spoke, "Netik fret not we are not leaving here lone as he will be coming with me and Pangu do not protest if you know what is good for you.", she finished with a glare towards Pangu, who just raised his hands in a surrendering way with an uneasy smile in his face as he knew no matter how much he tried he would never win an argument with Apolonia.

Meanwhile the other girls smirked at that as they send telepathic messages to Apolonia, 'Go girl conquer his heart we are all rooting for you.'

While she kept a stoic visage inwardly she was a blushing mess as she replied them with a 'Thank You.'
