Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1849 Rebellion

1849 Rebellion

'Wife, why don't you tell me where you are, exactly?' Ryu started by just talking. Since Ailsa could snort at him, clearly her trouble wasn't that great. But unfortunately, he didn't receive a reply.

'Hm…'

Ryu didn't think that Ailsa was ignoring him, though there was a small chance of that. His previous display had really been too pathetic. He had done too much wrong in his life. To be put in the situation where he would have to woo his own wife again not just once, but twice, was something that he should probably take to the grave. Last time, it was Elena he had to coax, and now it seemed that it would be Ailsa.

Of course, he didn't blame either one of them. Not only did they both have their own legitimate reasons, even if they didn't and were just being willful, he still wouldn't blame them. In this life, he would go strong enough to allow his women to do and act as they pleased. If he was too weak to allow them to do such a thing, then it wasn't their fault, but his own.

'I think I can come up with another method.'

"Put them on yourself." As Ryu was lost in thought about how he might contact his wife, a Dao Lord appeared by his side. Though it seemed that Ryu wasn't paying attention, he had enough wherewithal to know that this man's name was Tiberius, and he wasn't a Natural. He had a chilly aura, and his body seemed more incorporeal than real.

CLANG! A set of chains fell to the ground. They were both chained properly, two of them having cuffs for his ankles, and another two were cuffs for his wrists. Tiberius looked at Ryu coldly, but to his surprise, Ryu suddenly kicked the chains.

They moved fast and swift, so much so that Tiberius had to quickly put up a hand to block. But he had miscalculated. He was catching a chain, not a solid mass. He stopped one part, but the rest whipped around with an even fiercer momentum, lashing out at his face.

Still, he was a Dao Lord. His reflexes weren't something that could be explained with common sense. With ease, he prepared to duck, already thinking of everything he was going to do to torture Ryu as a result of his actions. But then, something unexpected happened. Two parts of the chain slapped against one another and rebounded, changing their trajectory.

Tiberius dodged right into one of their paths.

PA!

The chain whipped against his cheekbone, a light mark appearing on his flesh. He stood, stunned. It didn't hurt in the slightest. His power was too great, and the chains weren't designed to hold Dao Lords to begin with. But at that moment, it felt as though someone had just slapped him across the face and he couldn't help but see red.

When he looked at Ryu, his aura erupted, only to find two frighteningly cold silver irises staring right back at him. Unexpectedly, Ryu actually took a step forward, looking down on the man. Ryu was almost 6'10" in height, and though there were plenty of creatures far larger than himself, when it came to those that mostly took human form, few could match.

In this case, this Natural had no right to be at eye level with him, and when their faces were close, it seemed as though Ryu was looming tall over him, like he had become that very mountain peak that he couldn't see the end of.

"Don't mistake my smile for someone who's easy to mess around with. I'm well aware of my value right now, and if the Real Plane really wants to lose instantly, please, feel free to piss me off. I wield the most free Faith in the world right now. I could hand it over to the Real Plane, I could take it all for myself, I could even hand it over to the Fiends if I so wished."

"'—You dare to speak of rebellion?!"

Embarrassed and enraged, Tiberius wanted to find a weak point to latch on to and take advantage. Unfortunately for him, Ryu didn't relent when he had a hold of his enemy's weakness.

"Yes. I do. And what of it? I'm sure that you're used to suppressing those without backing with your grand, imposing might. But I'm here to tell you that I do not care. I've already killed a Sovereign and two Dao Lords since I joined your little armies. Would you like to be added to the list?"

Ryu's hair whipped around, his gaze sharp and imposing. At that moment, the Dao Lord felt as though his Dao Heart was being squeezed down from all sides. It was a suffocating experience, and it made him shocked at the same time. Ryu's Dao Heart was actually so much more powerful than his own? How was that even possible?

"Keep your little chains, and don't piss me off."

After Ryu said this, he turned and left. Tiberius was too stunned to even know what to do. He had so much confidence going in, but he hadn't expected that Ryu would be even more overbearing than him. The moment Ryu turned away, though, his smile returned. It seemed as though he hadn't been infuriated at all just now. In fact, he was having the time of his life.

He had to be a little bit more cautious before, but that was only because in this world, he really had no backing. Well, other than a certain Fey Sovereign, but in the grand scheme, he was still too small and insignificant.

But now, things were different. He would strut around and do as he pleased because now he had a trump card that few could match. At the end of the day, how many could boast having a Dao Goddess for a wife? If he didn't take advantage of this, he would be letting down his ancestors.
