Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1871  Ruin

Isemeine and Eska were a unique case because the Taboo Inheritance they followed was actually stronger in their hands than it was in the past. That was because the Taboo Inheritance was designed to be used by siblings at worst, and twins at best… but these two were quite literally of one body.

Thanks to this, even if the True Martial World suppressed them, because the Inheritance was actually better in their hands, the effect of the suppression had been far less.

But now that they were working to get rid of the suppression entirely, it was obvious that their strength was going to likewise hit a new tier.

Unfortunately, Ryu didn't have the time to do a deep dive with them on this. He needed to move.

He gave a glance to the mutated Fire Giant lady, and seeing that she was doing just fine, he left… only to find that his main body was being surrounded by Lu'card and Ianjor, who were poking and prodding at it.

Ianjor had his foot in Ryu's ribcage, pushing him around as though he wasn't in a half-dead state.

"Say, when do you think this guy is gonna get over it?" Ianjor asked.

"Better if he never does. I like the silence and lack of being schemed against," Lu'card replied.

Ryu shook his head. These guys were really too much, not even the slightest hint of concern. It seemed that his wives were truly better for this sort of thing.

He coughed, groaning and getting up. He pushed Ianjor's foot away with a hand.

"Oh look, the princess is up."

Ryu blinked as he looked up into the skies, squinting. The sun felt too bright.

"Let's move," Ryu said.

"What's going on?" Ianjor asked.

"Some bastards are scheming against my wife," Ryu said blandly.

Ianjor paused.

Ryu hadn't said much after he awoke, and Ianjor could obviously tell that this "friend" of his had certainly changed a lot since the last time they had seen each other…

But this was very much like the old Ryu.

There was something slumbering inside of him that seemed to have been stirred awake.

Even if Ryu didn't have the full story, just the fact that someone had dared to target his wife was enough for him to fly into a rage. The only reason he hadn't shown this fury prior was because he didn't know who to even target it toward. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But now, although he still didn't know exactly who was responsible, he did know that they were either on their way here or were already here. And…

They had signed their death warrants.

…

This time, Ryu didn't move to target the beasts any longer. They were secondary to him. He was looking for something else.

Now that he knew what to look for, he found it instantly. And once again, he was impressed.

He was someone who rarely felt much of anything when listening to the feats of others. And yet, he had already been impressed twice in a single day.

"An absolute master of Karma first… and now an absolute master of Feng Shui…"

Ryu was also a master of Feng Shui, though this was an ability that he rarely, if ever, used. The last time he had leaned on it was in using his [Pill Refinement Sutra] on his body to create special ores to refine his body.

He hadn't had to do this for a long while, especially now that he had modified and improved the Nine Pillar Flame Sect's Body Realm cultivation method.

At first, he had been looking for a formation of sorts. But he didn't realize that he was already in the formation.

The reason these creatures were likely not allowed to roam so freely was that the moment they did, the Feng Shui of the Beast Domain would be thrown off.

'Amazing…'

Ryu was infuriated with these people, but he couldn't help but admit it.

The Beast Domain was enormous, and yet someone had meticulously calculated the location of rivers and mountains and trees, all to set up a perfect net to trap these beasts within.

What Ryu wanted to know was what role the Dao God Beasts played… Were they existences that had broken free of this game? Or were they a part of it?

'Is that the real reason why none of them have tried to build up a kingdom here? Even if there was no path before, that didn't mean that there couldn't be one after. If they started Sects or schools, they could easily pass down their knowledge and teach others how to reach the Dao God Realms… Even if they weren't perfect descendants, who was to say that they couldn't find a few that could follow their Path?

'But to not try at all? Could it be that they know what's going on here already…? And they're just the lucky few to survive?'

Ryu had never really distinguished between the lives of beasts and humans. Anyone could be cut down so long as they suited his purposes. That was why the human skin tome never fazed him.

After seeing his wife's struggles, he gained a better appreciation for the plights of beasts as well.

He still wasn't someone with a bleeding heart, but he knew that the first step to teaching these people a lesson was ruining their plans.

Ryu's mind began to scan the entire region. Now that he knew that it was a Feng Shui diagram, his approach was completely different, and the plan in his mind was likewise shaping up faster and faster.

He could feel as though someone was breathing down his neck, and yet, his calm was almost eerie… as though he couldn't feel the blade being held up to him at all.

He forgot everything about his worries, about his trepidations, even about himself.

They had bullied his wife for so long… it seemed that they didn't know that she had a husband.

And this husband of hers held grudges.

He wasn't just going to ruin their plans. He was going to ruin them.
