Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1950  Another Target

Silence fell onto the world, a delicate cadence of wind and rush of energy filling what was once violence and oppression.

Ryu continued to stand high in the skies, his mind at peace and his body being filled with energy.

He slowly opened his eyes after a long while. Everything settled down and his aura became restrained, so in tune with the world that it was difficult even to see him though he made no effort to hide himself.

\'It\'s about time to go.\'

Ryu\'s next target was going to have to be the Dark False Shrine he needed… which meant he was going to have to take a much less safe trip into Fiend territory.

He had been lucky with the Light False Shrine. All of the other Shrines were hidden in locations on the other side of the rainbow wall. If he was going to want a chance at crushing them, he would have to take some matters into his own hands and risk it.

As Ryu was about to descend from the skies, he looked into the distance to find several figures rushing toward his location.

They were truly powerful… one of whom was even a Dao God.

This was a bit surprising to him. It was either a coincidence that such a powerful individual was relatively close, he had spent too much time on his Tribulation, or they had truly gone all out to catch up to him.

Ryu had been moving from Holy World to Holy World quite quickly because he didn\'t want to have to run into a Dao God, he knew how troublesome that would make the situation.

Given Star River\'s reaction, he could guess the reactions of everyone else. It was just that he didn\'t respect it in the slightest.

They were in the middle of a war and they were too worried about rocking the boat.

The Fiends had just killed several of their Dao Gods days ago, was that not rocking the boat sufficiently for them? They wanted to tuck their tails in some more?

Most of them had already forgotten that the Holy Worlds were supposed to be battlefields and they had instead started to view them as business ventures.

Everything had been so calm for so long that they didn\'t believe they would see the end of the war any time soon, not realizing just how much Ryu had helped all of them by stopping the repair of the Light False Shrine.

Had that plot succeeded, the Fiends would have gained their full slate of Shrines, and at that point, they would be able to press the rainbow wall forward even faster.

The Fey and their lackeys were on the brink of destruction and they didn\'t even notice. But now they wanted to stop Ryu from antagonizing their enemy too much.

It was hilarious.

BOOM! BOOM!

The Dao God came to a stop on a floating vessel. But by this point, Hope had already appeared by Ryu\'s side, making the Fey man a hint more somber. The sharpness he had come with certainly wasn\'t there any longer.

He didn\'t know what Race Hope was, and her aura was a bit clouded, but she seemed to be human, and that only made him more hard-faced.

Ryu looked him up and down and realized that this man was a member of the Moon Fey. Or rather, he should be a part of one of their subordinate Clans, probably a much higher level than the bastards who had tried to pluck his eyes out of his skull.

Well, technically, they hadn\'t tried, they had done it. Luckily, he had his own protections.

Stealing his eyes back then was already very difficult, and now would only be more so… whether Hope was factored in or not.

"Who are you?" the Moon Fey asked coldly, looking at Hope. But she didn\'t respond, instead looking at Ryu as though waiting for him to answer.

"There\'s no need for you to be so concerned with my wife. If you want to speak to someone, speak to me," Ryu said plainly.

The Dao God was taken aback, and his first instinct was to look toward Hope to see how she would react to this sort of slander. But the last thing he expected to see was a shy blush.

What was happening in this world?

"This world is truly idiotic," Ryu spoke lightly. "I\'ve done more for this world in a handful of years than you have in your entire lifetime, yet you think you have the right to decide who I\'m worthy of marrying and who I\'m not… don\'t you think that\'s ridiculous?"

The Dao God was a bit too shocked to react with the expected rage. He had never expected a mere Transcended would dare to speak to him in this way.

It took a long while for the Dao God to recover. His expression became stern and cold, his gaze piercing into Ryu. And yet, the latter only looked back at him calmly.

"This cannot be allowed to continue. You will come to me, and you," he looked toward Hope, "will allow it. Your identity is unknown and that is unacceptable in these times of war. I don\'t know what your Human Race thinks you\'re doing, but such unilateral decision making can earn you a one-way ride to death." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ryu gave the man a single glance then didn\'t bother with him anymore.

"Let\'s go, Hope. We have another target."

"Mm," Hope said lightly, starlight descending around them. In that moment, the Dao God felt as though all the surroundings had gained a strange pressure to them. By the time his vision cleared, the two were gone.
