Re:Immortal

Chapter 126

"Master!" Lu Lu suddenly lunged forward from within the crowd and jumped into Omis's arms, a smile made its way to his face as he patted her back.

"I'm here, I'm here." He reassured her as he continued to pat her back.

Silas smiled at the scene before leaving them to their reunion, he walked towards Tizzy who paused as he noticed him giving him a nod of acknowledgment before speaking.

"Master Silas, I thank you once again for your hospitality." He said as he cupped his fists respectfully.

Silas cupped his in reply before speaking in a humble tone. "Please raise your head Grandmaster, we are all in this together."

Giving a bitter smile, a sigh escaped Tizzy's lips as he glanced at what remains of the once-thriving 'Immortal' city.

"We have lost too many good people." He muttered.

Silas standing next to him nodded solemnly as he spoke. "We will only continue to lose more if we don't make our stand against the 'Hunters'."

"Can we win though?" Asked Tizzy, his words full of doubt for the first time.

Silas gave a comforting smile as he patted his back before replying. "I never fight a losing battle Grandmaster, they may have their trump cards, but so do we." He said as he pointed at Omis with his chin.

"Looks like the prophecy did come true in a sense." Nodded Tizzy.

With Lu Lu clinging to his arm, Omis made his way to Leyla who still sat down on the ground with a blank expression on her face as she stared at the blue sky above.

Addi was sitting in the lotus position next to her, his eyes closed in meditation, he briefly opened them when he sensed Omis approaching before closing them once again.

Leyla didn't seem to notice his arrival, her gaze unmoving. Omis then sat down with a thud next to her as he joined her in staring at the sky, Lu Lu moved to stand next to Addi giving them space.

After a long period of quiet, Leyla was the first one to break the silence, she continued staring at the sky as she spoke.

"He's gone isn't he?" She asked.

He paused for a second before replying. "Yes."

"Ironic isn't it?" She chuckled bitterly.

"What is?" Asked Omis as he turned to glance at her.

"I always took it so lightly, killing others. Never put much thought into it, no I enjoyed it." She shook her head.

"And now, it happens to my family." Her head dropped low.

Omis did not know how to respond to that so he simply remained quiet, his hand moving to pat her head.

"I'll kill them, I will kill them all brother Omis. One by one, and I will enjoy it. They took my only family from me, i'll make them pay." She spoke with a firm resolution, her voice low yet filled with strength as we raised her head, a dangerous glint full of killing intent flashed through her eyes.

Omis then suddenly flicked his finger on her forehead causing her to let out a cry of pain.

"Ouch! What was that for brother Omis?" She asked as she rubbed her forehead in pain.

"You didn't lose you're only family, you still have us. So don't do be rash and end up doing something stupid." He said.

Her eyes widened for a second before she lowered her head, her expression not visible.

"En, thank you, brother Omis." She nodded.

*********

Soon Omis, Addi, Silas, and Tizzy gathered around a giant round table inside a large war tent in the middle of the village square, Eva and Li could also be seen standing respectfully behind Tizzy, while Lu Lu stood behind Omis with a curious look as she kept peaking on the map on top of the table.

"The traitor has sent news, the 'Hive' are engaged in battle against the 'Hunters' on three fronts."

"Here." Pointed Tizzy at the map of the heavenly realm, the place he mentioned was the Gate that connected the heavenly realm with the mortal plane.

"Most of the cultivators engaged in the fight here around the Half Immortal and Profound Immortal realm, I'm not sure about their numbers but the situation seems to be even on both sides."

He once again pointed at another place a small distance away from the gate before speaking.

"The next battlefield is here, those involved are all on the Golden Immortal realm with a few Immortal Venerables, both sides seem to have agreed to move away from the Gate lest the lower level cultivators suffer a backlash from their fight." Hearing that, everyone nodded as that made sense, each cultivator had their own battle to fight.

"The final front is here, quite the distance from the previous ones and closer to the previous heavenly capital. The lord of the 'Hive' and his closest aides are currently fighting off against the masters of the 'Hunters', all of their cultivation bases are above that of a normal fourth rank God realm cultivator." Added Tizzy, his tone serious.

"How many people do we have?" Asked Addi causing everyone to turn around towards Tizzy awaiting his reply.

Shaking his head he spoke. "For those capable of fighting, we only have about fifty 'Original' Profound Immortals, five normal Golden Immortals, and two 'Original' Immortal Venerables, from my city." He spoke with obvious pain, the 'Immortal' was thriving before the sudden attack yet now they were left with these measly numbers.

"I apologize if I'm being rude, but can we really trust the words of a traitor?" Asked Silas. The traitor they were talking about was the third God realm cultivator, the old lady that followed Tizzy before the war broke out when it came clear that she was a spy of the 'Hive'.

"It's not in their favor to feed us wrong information, they need our help, so it's safe to assume that it's true, but we should also keep our guards up and expect anything." Answered Omis as he rubbed his chin deep in thought.

Nodding, Tizzy asked. "Now then, gentlemen, Ladies, how do we proceed with this?"

Silas who was studying the map suddenly pointed at one place.

"How about we use this route to sneak inside the heavenly realm, I'm still quite concerned about the numbers we will be facing, and if we use the Gate we will have no choice but to join the fight blind." The place he referred to was precisely the same one he, Omis, Addi, and Leyla used to enter the heavenly realm the previous time they went to save Lu Lu.

Hmmm, the coward does have a point. Agreed Addi, causing Silas to cast him a chilling gaze as he retained a scary smile on his face.

Not everyone can afford the luxury of not using their brains master White devil. He responded respectfully.

Seeing the two about to start their argument once again, a sigh escaped Omiss lips as he spoke.

Enough, we dont have much time to waste on useless arguments.

Hmph.

Hmph.

Hearing that both men coldly harrumphed before continuing with the strategy meeting.
