Heavenly Dao Child 259 The Commander Part-3

The combined might of all the soldiers present pushed them to the ground as those who were not even an Immortal promptly found themselves having their face planted on the ground as Ryuu looked down at them with a smirk on his face, when suddenly Narcisa spoke with a pleading tone, "Please Long Yu there has been a mistake about something."

Cleto turned towards Narcisa as he spoke, "You know him?

Narcisa nodded at that as she spoke,"Yes, I have met him a decade ago, he was a peak Zifu Disciple when he was a 7."

Cleto as well as everyone's eyes widen at that except the soldiers of Shangri-la who gave no visible emotions suddenly a grin formed on Cleto's face but before he could speak his second wife shouted out, "I am Caley the overseer of Shangri-la, please cease this incessant foolishness I am under direct order of Her Hig…",

Ryuu spoke angrily, "You traitor be silent, you dare slander the name of Her Highness."

CLeto then shouted out at the top of his voice, "I Cleto hereby challenge Long Yu for our right to freedom and unfair treatment, as such with Heaven's as my witness I call upon a cultivator's honor and I initiate a Cultivator's Duel.", he pointed towards Ryuu as he finished in a dramatic flair.

Ryuu turned towards the leader of the battalion as he whispered to him, "What is this thing 'Cultivator's Duel' I have never heard of it, do you know what it is?"

The person shook his head as he spoke, "No idea but I believe he wants to pick a fight with this 'Long Yu' person."

Ryuu once again spoke in whisper, "So do you have any person who is called 'Long Yu' among your battalion."

The commander replied back to in a hush tone, "Well no there is none who shares that name."

Ryuu suddenly turned towards them and spoke in an apologetic, "Sorry mister unimportant person last I check there is no one named 'Long Yu' amongst us so please surrender now without making a fuss."

Narcisa spoke in disbelief, "But but you all those years ago said your name is 'Long Yu'."

Ryuu shrugged as he spoke, "I lied."

Only for a bright red glow to appear around Cleto who shouted out in glee, "So long you losers, hahahaha.", with the glow intensified as he disappeared from others sight only for a loud scream full of pain to reach everyone's ears as a bloodied pale looking Cleto slammed on the ground causing a big crater on the ground while the pressure on the criminals increased even more causing many to lose their consciousness.

Ryuu snorted at that as he spoke with a smile on his face, "Idiot did you not think I would have taken precautions about any form of 'Emergency Escape Talisman.'", before he turned towards the leader of the battalion as he spoke, "Please capture them already."

One of the no name members of the Mendez clan spoke with contempt laced in his voice as he spoke, "Take another step towards us and we will kill all the sacrifice, you would have your hands full with innocent blood.", he finished with a cruel smirk as he thought he and the others could escape by holding them hostage.

Ryuu simply let out a large yawn as he spoke, "Why you all are waiting here please capture them already."

The soldiers moved in order to capture them as the man kept screaming along with the would be sacrifices both screaming out of fear but for different reasons, and soon the group was captured including the 'Great One' who was unconscious during the entire ordeal, as the screaming and crying criminals were dragged away Ryuu made his way towards the so called guards of Mendez family who were about to be sacrificed in order to open the array as he spoke, "You people are free to leave though next time please beware of where you seek employment."

The group nodded fearfully as one of them spoke, "But benevolent Hero sir, what if they try to kill us then."

Ryuu gave them a small smile causing all of them to blush mostly the females as he spoke, "Do not worry about that the clan mark is actually a branding done using array, its purpose is just to paralyze you all not kill you but when I freed you from your fate the branding was destroyed as such you all are safe, well then I am leaving."

"Please wai…", before anyone could say anything Ryuu moved so fast it seemed as if he had disappeared from their sight, as one of them spoke, "Was that a celestial being he was so gorgeous so breathtaking and he spoke to meeeeeee!"

"Are you delusion it was clear that he was speaking to me not someone as ugly as you."

"What did you say you no …"

Only for their brawl to stop as they felt a strong presence near them as they turned their head they saw a scholarly looking person floating near them who had a annoyed look in his face, "If you people have finished your bickering then leave NOW!", he shouted to them causing them to run away in fear.

The man then turned towards others as he spoke, "Her Highness wants this tomb to be explored and if it contains some form of threat to neutralize it, if there are some materials which are useful then we will procure it now move fast we do not have all the time in the world."

Meanwhile Ryuu was standing in front of the leader of the battalion as he spoke, "Thank you for your hard work and you are all are dismissed.", the person in question simply gave a small bow as he left leaving Ryuu alone, who peered down towards the city as he looked the remaining members of the Mendez clan being dragged away by forces of Shangri-la, as their lies being exposed to the city, he watched as the people who once used to lick the feet of Mendez clan member was now cursing them calling them names behind their back causing him to leave out a tired sigh as he frowned at that.

'Today the clan will be dead and gone all because they got greedy and managed to draw ire of someone they shouldn't have, well the children of the clan were taking into custody as well to find out any of their involvement well I doubt that they be involved their only crime is that they were bully nothing more nothing less, oh well there is nothing to think about big sisters will handle their punishment and I know they are just and fair.'

Ryuu was brought out of his thought as Sylvana arrived near him as she spoke, "You did well Ryuu, specially your planning and executing the said plan so what do you intend to do now."

Ryuu shrugged at that as he spoke, "No idea but since teacher gave me some time off, I will loiter here and there a bit before returning back to Ayindril."

Sylvana simply smiled back at him as she spoke in a teasing manner, "Well then Ryuu try not to seek out any problematic situation while you are staying outside of Ayindril."

Ryuu simply gawked at that as he spoke with indignation, "I so do not sister, I never try to seek out any problem."

Sylvana gave him a stare full of disbelief as she spoke, "Uh huh".

Ryuu gave a tired sigh before he spoke again, "Sister what will happen to this people who were captured."

Sylvana simply waved her hand as she spoke, "Nothing you need to worry brother the guilty will be punished but more importantly Ryuu how did it feel commanding such a force of strong cultivators."

Ryuu looked at his hand as he clenched and unclenched them as he spoke, "Well it was scary to tell you the truth I was so nervous I was afraid I would mess up and then I would cause dishonor to you all."

Sylvana placed a comforting hand on Ryuu as she spoke, "Ryuu you do not know how proud we are of you today, but more importantly Ryuu this mission was a way of learning and gaining experience as such there was no problem if you had failed, many a times even we fail after all remember failure I mother of success and the most important thing is that you learned from your mistake, but today you performed flawlessly as such we are extremely proud of you.", with that he tousled Ryuu' hair a bit making him blush from happiness.

Meanwhile a few hundred kilometers from the city smoke could be seen rising from the ground as many corpse were seen lying around to what seems to be some sort of ruin a person stood there appreciating his handiwork another person arrived beside him as he spoke without even turning his head to look at the newcomer as he spoke, "Send a message to her highness that from today onwards the God Cry School no longer exists, all the higher ups including most of the core disciples have been killed others have been chased away and I have personally burned down the entire place."

The person gave a bow before he disappeared from sight leaving the mastermind of the massacre alone as a woman came and hugging him from his side he simply smiled at her as he held her closer towards him as he spoke, "So how did Her Majesty's brother perform?"

The woman mused at that before she spoke, "The brat is softhearted but he planned it well, instead of waiting till the last moment I would have simply slaughtered them but he managed to use his cunning to subdue his much stronger opponent and then rescued those idiots, it was nice strategy but then again I would have used the soldiers under my command to annihilate them, but he is good worthy of being Her Highness's brother as well as he has guts I will give him that he commanded all those soldiers who were much older, stronger and experienced as if he had been doing such since he was young, moreover do you know he is a 18 year old mid Immortal rank cultivator."

At that the listener had his eyes open wide as he spoke in disbelief at that, "Are you serious?"

The woman simply gave him a small playful punch as she spoke, "What would I gain from lying to you, but enough of that we have tomb to study and unearth its contents."

The man nodded as both of them disappeared from the ruins.
