Chapter 1871 Ruin

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.

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.
