Chapter 1530 Annoying
Hours later, Ryu pulled away from the Azure Lightning Sect, his gaze flickered. It wasn't with seriousness, it was instead with an amused light. This was more fun than he had ever given it credit for, and thinking about what he was going to do made him want to keel over with laughter already.
What he learned from the Sect was about what he expected. Litaor was still in the Lower Fragmented Sky God Realm, so there weren't any sudden great boons that would make him a match for Ragash, but Ryu had already known this.
It was also impossible to expect Ragash to lower his cultivation to battle Litaor. The difference in Dao wouldn't disappear, and that would have an impact on battle sense and experience that Litaor would know he couldn't overcome.
Simply put, it was foolish to try to put them head to head... at least physically.
Ryu slipped back into the Raging Inferno Sect. At the same time, he had the little woman concoct him a few more Focus Pills. These pills had been a great savior to Ryu in these past few years, and it seemed like they would have to come in handy again.
When Ryu made it back to Jojo's living quarters, he shook his head.
'This woman is truly annoying.'
The security had been tightened considerably. The only silver-lining was that since Jojo was only in the World Sea Realm, the guards they had left to monitor her were only in the Fragmented Sky God Realm, so slipping by them was easy enough. The main problem was who else might be watching.
Even though they weren't present, that didn't mean they were there. There hadn't been anyone monitoring Jojo so closely before her first attempt at escape, but hadn't it failed anyway? That meant that there was likely someone much more powerful who would sweep their Spiritual Sense by this region from time to time. That would make things more difficult on Ryu, but he had already made his choice.
First, he waited.
Ryu was patient, the tranquility in his eyes not fading even as the minutes ticked by. Then, it came.
A sweep of Spiritual Sense passed by the region. Ryu, who was a distance away, just barely managed to snag a corner of it.
'Okay, at least it wasn't the Omniscient Sky God... I think.'
Ryu wasn't entirely familiar with the Sky God Realms yet. According to the strength of that Spiritual Sense, it came from a True Sky God, but for all he knew there was an Omniscient Sky God out there with such a weak soul.
Of course, he knew this was ridiculous, but he made a mental note to investigate this more in the future as he shot forward, slipping past the Fragmented Sky Gods and appearing in Jojo's living quarters.
He shook his head.
The woman still seemed calmed, so he could only praise her mental state. The problem was that she was also chained. Well, one of her ankles was chained, and the length of the chain gave her the free rein to move hundreds of meters in any given direction. On top of that, it was quite thin and light. But Ryu knew better than to underestimate it just because of that.
"Stupid woman," he mumbled under his breath, "had you waited a little bit, this would have been far easier."
Jojo couldn't hear Ryu at all, but she still frowned, looking around.
'How sharp.'
Ryu chuckled. He could hide from this large-scale formation, but this woman was actually sensitive enough to feel that something was off.
Ryu refocused his attention on the chain, analyzing it for a long while.
It wasn't too powerful, just a False God Treasure; after all, they wouldn't need to spend anything more on someone who had even entered the Fragmented Realm. However, for Ryu, it was still difficult to deal with.
Treasures were obviously far more durable than living beings. Ryu was as strong as a Peak False Sky God in body, at least to Seventh Heaven standards, but he would have to be at a True Sky God level to be strong enough to shatter a treasure at that level.
Plus, if he wanted to break this chain without also causing a commotion, he would probably have to be comparable to a Middle or even Higher True Sky God. That's the only way he could do it with enough ease that it would be clean and quick.
'Seems I can only use Earth Gate again,' Ryu mumbled to himself. Having practically no limits on using this ability was truly convenient. But first, he had to accomplish something else.
After knowing Jojo's exact situation, he slipped away again, moving around the Sect.
As expected, he didn't hear talks of marriage even a single time. It seemed that the Sect hadn't released the information just yet.
Ryu smiled. 'What a shame? Why don't I help out with that?'
So, that was what he did. He set off and spread the news.
It wasn't that the Raging Inferno Sect was planning to keep this a secret. After all, the less sudden this matter was, the better chance they'd have at it not impacting their Fate. If a Sect suddenly forced one of their most promising disciples into a marriage, wouldn't it be a blow to their reputation?
Ryu was just helping them along.
After he was done, Ryu departed the Sect again and came back to the Azure Lightning Sect, then began to distribute the news.
By this point, the news had the Raging Inferno Sect in an uproar, and even the elders were confused as to how this matter had distributed so quickly. But they allowed it. After all, this was only helping them out.
The news spread far enough that it entered the hearing of various data networks even before Ryu came back to the Azure Lightning Sect and began spreading it again.
However, Ryu still felt that this wasn't enough, so he departed the range of both Sects and even went to Stalwart Sun Sect and the Fading Star Sect.
