1245 What gave it away?
"Oh right, I completely forgot what I was here for.
Lyriana, take all your Divine Stage Subordinates and follow me,
We are going on the mission."
Nux spoke.
"..."
Lyriana, obviously wasn't fooled by such a simple ploy and continued to stare at Nux.
"I told you to stay away from my daughter." She spoke.
"She was looking for you, I only indirectly showed her where you were," Nux replied.
"Nux," Lyriana called out and in the end, Nux sighed.
"Alright, I will not directly or indirectly approach her again, happy?"
"Thank you for keeping the terms of our agreement,"
Lyriana replied. Not wanting it to make it look like Nux was doing her a favor, not that it helped her case, with all said and done, she was a Slave, no matter how much she tried to act around, any deal that ended up in her advantage was Nux doing her a favor.
"Mhm, then should we focus on the mission now?"
Nux questioned.
"You were serious about it?"
"Didn't I say it was my turn to make a move? You weren't expecting me to stay passive this whole time, were you?"
Nux replied with a confident smile on his face.
Seeing that smile, a frown appeared on Lyriana's face. She had stayed with Nux long enough to know that this smile didn't mean something good.
"What are you trying to do?" the Elven Queen questioned with a frown on her face.
"Just come with me."
Nux spoke, "Together with all your subordinates, of course."
Lyriana nodded, preparing to leave. Nux glanced at his wives and,
"Girls, I will be taking the Elven Queen with me, okay? Have fun without her and, Take care of your new sister. Make her feel welcomed."
Nux chuckled as he glanced at his mothe- wife.
Riona blushed as she avoided Nux's gaze, the other women smiled, some of them could see their past selves in Riona. Amaya and Skyla of course, stood closest to Riona, supporting her throughout the day.
Nux nodded as he finally left, Lyriana following behind him.
As for the wives, well, since they already knew what Nux was planning, they stayed behind. It was not their time to shine yet.
...
As Nux and Lyriana left, Ariana, who was hiding behind a tree watched them leave. She was curious as to where that man and her mother were going. At the same time, she also compared herself to Nux and couldn't help but feel down.
To think someone of her Generation was walking around with her Mother like equals, his enemy is one of the strongest beings in the world and he has the means to protect more than 20 million people whereas she...
She was depressed because she couldn't defeat people on the same Cultivation Stage as her... The difference between the two of them was akin to the sky and the earth and no matter how much she tried to cover the distance, it always seemed to grow every time she met that man.
"She is quite interesting."
On the other hand, Nux, who could very well sense Ariana's presence couldn't help but chuckle.
"It is all because of you," Lyriana replied with an annoyed look on her face.
Of course, as a Divine Stage Cultivator, she could sense her daughter as well. Actually, Ariana herself knew that her mother could sense her.
She wasn't really trying to tail them anyway, so it didn't matter.
"Yes, Yes, everything here is my fault." Nux nodded.
Not wanting to talk any longer, Lyriana raised her speed, her goal was to get out of Ariana's sight as soon as possible.
As they continued to travel, Nux soon started explaining his grand plan to Lyriana, the more she heard, the stronger her shock. She couldn't help but feel ridiculous thinking about how the man in front of him was merely a Semi Saint Stage Cultivator.
However, in the end, she stopped thinking about all this and followed this man. Soon, both Nux and Lyriana entered the Portal that was set up a few kilometers away from their House.
The moment they came out of the other side, their eyes fell on 32 Divine Stage Cultivators in front of them, 30 Elves, 1 Catkin, and 1 Succubus.
"That's quite an army," Lyriana commented with a surprised look on her face.
The Elven Divine Stage Cultivators all glanced at Nux with strange looks on their faces, though none dared to say anything.
Nux glanced at Oberon,
"You didn't have to come here."
"When I heard what you were going to do, I couldn't help myself." The Catkin smiled.
"Indeed." The Succubus Queen nodded as well.
"I also want to avenge my hundred thousand people they slaughtered." She spoke.
"Well of course, the entire reason I am doing this is so that you can have revenge, Mother-in-law."
Nux chuckled.
"Ahh, I am so lucky to have a son-in-law as capable as you." Eisheth laughed out loud as well.
Nux then nodded, then, the Portal behind him closed and another Portal appeared in front of him,
"You all should be prepared." Saying those words, he walked into the Portal and disappeared.
...
This time, the Portal opened in Yrniel and Nux stepped into the place most would never expect him to be.
The Dragon Continent.
As he flew in the air, Nux looked at the Grand Dragon Continent with a fresh smile on his face.
There were huge buildings showing the Dragon's strong heritage, Nux, however, didn't care about these buildings, his eyes were set on the largest building in the area and he soon disappeared.
Appearing right at the entrance, Nux closed his eyes and spread his sense, finding his target.
Once his mind located the target, a confident smile appeared on his face and he disappeared again.
...
Inside a room, a Divine Stage Dragon named Gargan was seated on his bed, crosslegged, cultivating.
"Why bother cultivating when you already know you will not make any further improvement?"
Suddenly, a voice was heard.
Gargan opened his eyes with a frown. He could sense a man's presence right in front of him.
Gargan was a Divine Stage Cultivator, no matter how much he was focused on cultivating, it was absolutely impossible for the majority of people to appear right next to him without him being able to sense them.
The fact that someone had done it was enough to prove that this person was skillful.
Gargan concluded, however, the moment his eyes fell on the man standing in front of him, his expression changed.
He was a man he would never forget in his entire life. A man with aura, a man who stood against more than 100 Divine Stage Cultivators and acted like a disappointed father rather than being scared, a man in front of whom even the arrogant Vyriana kneeled.
He was the man he saw when he, together with Lord Arcturus, went to the United Continent to hunt Nux Leander, the man who was strong enough to make all 100 Divine Stage Cultivators lose consciousness without them knowing how.
"What are you doing here?" Gargan questioned with a frown on his face.
"I am only curious.
What is someone like you doing here?"
Caesar questioned with a curious look on his face.
"What...?" Gargan tilted his head in confusion.
"Why did you not join the Order?
Was it not made clear that all the talented individuals are to join the Ancestral Order? Why are you wasting your time in a place like this?"
Caesar couldn't understand.
"What are you talking about? And, just who are you?" Gargan questioned, wanting to know who the man who even Vyriana kneeled in front of was.
"I am one of the Leaders of the Ancestral Order,"
Caesar revealed.
"Leader of the Ancestral Order...?" Gargan, was obviously taken aback.
"Mhm." Caesar nodded with a small smile on his face.
Gargan, however, narrowed his eyes,
"A Human?"
"Hmm? Are you looking down on us Humans? Did you forget that your entire Continent is in unrest because of one single human who hasn't even properly grown yet?"
"..."
Gargan turned silent.
"Anyways, stop talking about these foolish things, I am here to take you away."
"Take me away...?" Gargan was confused.
"You do not belong to this small pond.
I cannot bear to see a talent like you being buried under that arrogant Lord of yours.
You will be coming with me and will be cultivating together with other people in the Ancestral Order, follow me."
Saying those words, Caesar turned around as if he was confident that Gargan would follow me.
"I will follow you, for sure." Gargan nodded, But then suddenly,
"If you can take this punch of mine, that is!"
He shouted as he rushed towards Caesar with a punch that carried most of his power. However, before his punch could connect, Caesar's body turned into an intangible shadow then suddenly, he sighed as his voice changed,
"I was doing good, wasn't I? What gave it away?"
"You thought you could fool me!?"
Gargan shouted as he prepared to release his Law of Self, however, it was already too late as Nux rushed towards him, pushing his body into the Portal that just appeared behind Gargan.
And the moment Gargan understood what happened to him and stood up, he froze.
In front of him, there stood 30 plus Divine Stage Cultivators...
"..."
