The Urban Dao Child

Chapter 339 - Movement.

Feng Yun and Laohu Bai met up at the top of the ruby tower. They stood with an indifferent face, unlike the usual. There was no air wind blowing at the top this time. Laohu Bai said, "You placed a ban of the wind blow, Sister Yun?"

The latter only nodded in reply and said, "Let us get moving, Xiao Bai. Dao is a sensitive person. If he decided to go away, it will be bad for the restoration of the balance. I do not care about my existence, but there are countless innocent lives in the world that may suffer because of something they did not even know about."

Laohu Bai sighed and nodded heavily as she said, "Dao, has alienated himself because his anger will get better of him, those two pricks. I wish I can kill them. How dare they manipulate things to such an extent? I do not know why. What will they gain from this?"

"They seek the balance of things at all costs. Like the two of us are controlled by the Dao child. They act as our counterparts. They seek to control the path of his growth. However, these fools forgot that control can only be helpful to a certain level. If they put a restraint too hard, then Dao will annihilate everything that restrains him." replied Feng Yun.

What she said described the personalities of the people at the root level. While the black turtle was clouded by his wisdom, the azure dragon was an arrogant creature. This was the innate nature of the two people and can only be rectified by the Dao Child. Nothing else can make them realize that what they did was wrong.

Laohu Bai said, "I cannot sense his presence at all. He seemed to have left this world all of a sudden."

Feng Yun nodded and said, "RALF will not track him as he commanded it not to and blocked all backtrack access. I could not sense his presence, but I feel something big is about to happen. What do you suggest we do?"

Laohu Bai thought for a bit and said, "Given his control over himself, he might be meditating at the moment to calm down. IF we still cannot find him, then the other two will. Or more like Dao will find them. He will be beating up everyone who angered him. That kick last time was strong enough to kill that lizard, but he stopped. I do not know why?"

Feng Yun shook her head, "That was to disdain Ryu. He wanted the dragon, to know that his strength is nothing but a fleeting matter in front of the majesty of the Dao Child. "

Laohu Bai nodded and said, "He should have spat on his face as well. That much would have lowered down his arrogance a little."

Feng Yun shook his head and then said, "He is dignified and will never insult someone like this."

Laohu Bai nodded and, after a brief discussion, the two moved and decided to look for the Dao Child in different directions. However, was it so easy to look for the person who had integrated himself with nature? The spirit bond they had seemed to be non-responsive as well. Yang Dao was hurt, and he did not trust any of them, or to be precise, he was disappointed in the beings of heaven.

He was enraged by the things he deducted and the limits were crossed when Ryu Jinshi acted with no forbearance on his face. Thus, the spirit connection lost all the responses except a little blurry vibe they could comprehend, but the moment he secluded himself and became one with nature, everything became cold.

...

While the two ladies were moving to seek him out, the targeted boy was sitting under the shed made by splitting bamboos. His eyes were closed and were meditating. The boy did not percieved fire as soon as he sat in meditation, but first, he wished to control his temper. He came to an understanding that if he was to be enraged when he cultivated the element will become chaotic and might cause harm then to favor him.

The bigger reason was that he did not like to be stuck in such a chaotic state of mind. As he meditated, gradually he entered the state of deep meditation. He was not worried about being disturbed by this isolated place. The meditation continued, the surrounding darkness began to brighten.

The process was slow, and he did not know how much time has gone by since he was sitting like this. However, an impulse told him that he can open his eyes. The dao child always believed his instincts and opened his eyes, only to find himself surrounded by seas of stars. He mumbled, 'What is this place?'

A calm voice replied to him, 'Dao Space.'

Yang Dao was surprised but calmed himself. He looked around and froze when he found a woman standing not far away from him. The woman had beautiful white hair. Reaching the floor, she had a pair of three inches small horns on her forehead. She was beautiful and even to the level where Feng Yun and Laohu Bai might have to give way.

Yang Dao swore that he could never describe it in words. The girl was also observing him. She locked her gaze with his, although Yang Dao was appreciative of her beauty he still had control over his thoughts, to avoid any conflict or being rude, he locked his gaze with hers, despite feeling a little dizzy from the sharpness radiating from her gaze. He bowed slightly and asked, "May I know who are you?"

The girl replied in a tone similar to earlier, "I am a Dao child, represent the hell. The dao child of hell. Nice to meet you, Dao Child of heavens."

This came as a strong shock to Yang Dao. The boy was stunned for a few minutes and then replied, "Nice to meet you, too. I am called Yang Dao. May I ask your name?"

The girl nodded and said, "My name is Dallia. So what led you into this space?"

Yang Dao stood up from the ground. Given his IQ it was easy to figure out that in this place their bodies were their spirit bodies and they were free to do anything. He replied the question with a question, "Is this space special?"

It was not that he was too paranoid, it was just that he wished to know more and clearer facts before he opened up. The girl nodded and said, "You can find the answers within yourself, but since you have asked me, I shall tell you. To enter this space, the Dao Child must have strong emotions raging inside his conscious."

The boy nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Since we two are the opposite and will have to depend on each other to maintain the balance and fulfill our purposes, I think we shall become friends?"

He walked up to the girl in front of her and stretched out his hand towards her. He said, "Will you be a friend?"

The girl asked back with indifference, "Heaven and Hell can be friends?"

Yang Dao smiled and said, "It depends on how you look at it. Hell and Heaven are like two sides of a coin. It does not matter what we think, the great doa has already created us. If we embroiled in needless struggle and do not accept the reality, then will we not be causing even more imbalance?"

The girl still did not raise her hand and asked, "Why do you wish to be my friend?"

"There are a lot of reasons, one of them is that you seem to be a wise person, another one is that if we are to fight in the future, we shall keep our enemies closer, and the last reason is, I wonder if you would look even more beautiful if you smiled. Also, you do not do always do things for reasons, do you?" said the boy with a sunny smile on his face.

He was not making things up. He saw her not speaking and said, "Being the Dao Child of heavens I was given four familiar spirits. However, two of them turned out to be manipulating things. After finding it out, I sealed their prowess and entered seclusion. That may be the intense emotion you mentioned earlier.

Friends allow each other to rant, but they do not judge or advice. After all, it is one's own life to make choices, no? You just stand by them. For all I can discern is that your intense emotion might be loneliness, Dao Child of Hell prevails on her own, no?"

His words shocked the girl. She did not expect him to see through her cold gauze. She asked, "How did you figure it out?"

Yang Dao replied, "Will tell you but only if you become my friend."

The girl had an amused expression on her face and held his hand in hers. The contrast was that her hands were as if jade, smooth yet hard, while Yang Dao had callused palms. She asked, "I promise to be your friend. Now tell me."

"Has no one ever told you that your eyes speak?" said the boy.

Dallia heard his words and, after the initial shock, she chuckled. Yang Dao could swear his heartbeat escalated when she chuckled. He asked, "Why do you laugh?"

Dallia calmed down and said, "Those who looked into my eyes have all died, so no one dares to tell me that my eyes speak. Isn't that ironic?" she said this and wanted to see how the boy reacted.

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Indeed, Ironic." he did not make any comment on how she killed the people and why she killed them. He did not think their connection had reached the point of such inquiries.

Dallia nodded and said, "You are indeed very interesting. Just as I predicted."

Yang Dao smiled and said, "I will take that as a compliment." making the girl smile. He said, "So what is the situation in your place? Too much imbalance?"

Dallia suddenly became serious, as she replied, "Indeed, some people have been the reason for chaos, as they were practicing crooked methods to gain powers. I have been too tied dealing with them lately."

The boy nodded and said, "It right be similar to the ones I have to deal with in the long run. Nature should not be tainted by such practices. Do you need any advice?"

Dallia thought for a bit and the two began to chat. They did not know how long they discussed the topics bothering them both. Yang Dao found out that Dallia was three years older than him and she had completed her elemental education and was now an elemental god-king, with four elements molding a crown for her.

The boy asked her why can she not ascend then? Dallia told him that she cannot ascend until Yang Dao also reaches the same level and she must restore the balance of this world first. She had gained a lot of knowledge as she was not aided by anyone and her experiences made her a strong woman. Yang Dao was appreciative of this. He accepted all the universal guidance provided by her.

She also told him not to be too cold to the heavenly familiar spirits. If they suffered too much of a shun from him, the push might lead to a greater imbalance.

...

While the two people continue talking with each other, in the outside world a lot of movement was visible. The gathering of two dao children would always cause some phenomena. At night the stars were shining more brilliantly and the natural disasters predicted by the science organizations did not occur. It was as if nature were celebrating.

Laohu Bai had decided to vent out her hatred while looking for Yang Dao and she went to the battlefields of the mercenaries. The place where all the third-grade scum lived. She was relentless and cruel. As soon as she set foot in this place, her hands became knives and she ripped the lives of a dozen of low-level scum.

While the white tiger was busy venting out and ripping lives. The vermillion phoenix was visiting every single country and eradicating the terrorist and terminal criminals. The shadow guard under her was busy combing the whole world to look for Yang Dao. They did not spare anyplace, forests, slums, inhabited land, and even deep underwater.

The shadow guard was confused when they were tasked with carrying out a worldwide search for the young master. However, they did not dare question the lady. She has never been so cold. She hated these terrorists and the pollution of the world, but never did she go all out to search and hunt these low-level minions.

How were they to know that, if the lady did not go out to vent out the heat, then she might just evaporate the whole world in her sleep? They just carried out their duties.

...

In the crown, Atsuji Kurogame stood in front of Premiere Abraham, who had a solemn face. The latter asked, "Why do you do this, elder?"

The old man had just turned in his resignation from the office. He said, "I have been in the field for too long, Abe. I am a hundred years old almost and I joined the government when I was in my late thirties. The people outside do not know this, but you do. This dealing with the shadows has changed my mindset. I have tried to control a lot of things that I should not control.

This unconscious habit of mine had cost me a lot, and I will now have to pay the price. So, accept it. It is time I rest. You can call me in times of dire needs, but I will not be taking the office."

He said that and then he walked out of the office. Abraham knew that he would not be able to change Atsuji's decision, so he sighed and attested the document in front of him with his stamp. Then he called his secretary to announce the news to the world.

Ryu Jinshi was resting in the apartment he owned. His body was beaten to shreds. despite the seal on his prowess, he still had the healing ability, despite that the wounds were yet to close. He was in pain. He could not eat as his guts were stuffed inside by him when he was thrown out of the Dao Courtyard.

His lungs would ache at every breath, his ribs had punctured his lungs in many places. If it was any normal human being, he would have died from the agony. Broken hands and broken legs. The bones were not completely connected. He was lying on the bed and gazing at the ceiling. He mumbled, "What have I done?"

His mind was occupied by the scene that night when he shoot the two people without knowing the consequences. He killed two innocent people, two people who were working for the betterment of society.

The research done by Yang Dao's parents was not radical or harmful to the world, but it was a little something that could help everyone by giving them a better life. However, his impulse and character flaws led things to this big mess. He could not help but mutter the sentence above.

That night was also a reason why he embroiled himself in constant bloodshed and violence. He wished to kill those who deserved it, that is why he entered the world of mercenaries and contested on the fields where gathered the depraved of the world. They were all given a chance at freedom, and the condition was to defeat the mercenaries.

The mercenaries used this place to temper themselves and, at the same time, they earned a lot of money. The criminals were also trained to a level to hold a chance of survival against the enemy. The reason the world government allowed this was because they believed that hanging till death was a punishment too easy for such beasts.

Atsuji Kurogame had given up on his office in the ministry and came back to the apartment where Ryu Jinshi was. Their powers were sealed. also they needed to use their methods to find Yang Dao. After living for so long, they were not completely dependent on their powers, they both had a deep contact list.

The old man looked at the vacant Ryu Jinshi on the bed and said, "Get a grip on yourself. Those who make mistakes must have the guts to pay the price and suffer the punishment as well."

Ryu Jinshi gave him a look and said, "You think I have no guts? Didn't Xiaobai show them to you yesterday?"

Atsuji Kurogame said, "What have you thought?"

"I will have the mercs mobilize. The dragon unit has been living quietly for a long time. The vacation is over." said the wounded man.

Atsuji Kurogame said, "I will be calling in for some favors as well. I will kneel and kill myself in front of him if I have to." he did not sit down but took out an old phonebook from his breast pocket and used the antique landline in the apartment he called a few people. The chat was kept brief, but the task was the same.

Ryu Jinshi on the side let out a text message to all the people who were members of his mercenary team, the dragon unit and the task was to locate Yang Dao.

The huge movement had caused a big stir in the world, both hidden and public. Everyone knew that something was happening, but they did not know why it was happening.. The search was kept confidential, but the movement was still present to the people.
