Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1866  Mess

Ryu didn't mind the interaction. It had only been a few years for him, but it had been countless times longer for Ailsa. It was difficult for things to remain the same, especially when he had had such an embarrassing display previously.

Of course, whether that matter was truly embarrassing or not… well, he hadn't made a decision on that yet.

Even though he was feeling a lot more like himself and had partially walked out of that shadow, he wasn't to the point of feeling indifferent when looking back on those memories.

He also didn't think that Ailsa was particularly looking down on him for that moment either. Maybe in these years that she had been gone, she had suffered through things that were just as heartrending.

She didn't have the bandwidth to also deal with Ryu's issues now. With her talent, after trillions of years of cultivation, how could she possibly just be a simple Dao God?

When he looked at things that way, whatever she was facing now was certainly not a normal matter. In fact, it was likely something that might be even beyond the expectations of the Dream Wraith that sent him here.

"Have you gone crazy?" Lu'card's voice came from the distance. "Talking to yourself like that is a little unseemly, don't you think?"

The snort of a Dragon came from the distance, but Ryu directly ignored him.

Taking a breath, he closed his eyes and began to feel out his Karmic Strings again. This time, his focus was on someone else, but it was also much harder.

Ailsa was his Life Partner. No matter how many years had passed, nothing would change that. As such, using [Third Perspective] on her was just barely more difficult than using it on himself. Because of that, he was able to do what she struggled to do and form a connection between the two of them. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

By comparison, Ianjor, while being a good friend of his, wasn't nearly as close to Ryu as his wife was. As such, trying to use Karma to find him through [Third Perspective] was far more difficult.

Ryu had to stand in silence for several hours before he finally caught a faint strand. He grabbed onto it and took deep breaths.

Sweat coated his brows, but he continuously circulated his Embryonic Qi. Even so, it didn't seem to be helping very much.

However, that was when he grasped a fuzzy image.

He saw Ianjor caught in a battle with a beast. Luckily, Ryu was correct, he really was in the Beast Domain.

"Stop wasting time and get over here."

The sudden echoing of Ryu's voice caught Ianjor off guard and a swiping claw gashed across his chest.

"DAMMIT! FUCK YOU, RYU!"

Ianjor stopped suppressing his eyes and they flashed open. An inferno of flames blazed and the creature was burnt to ash in an instant.

Clearly, Ianjor had just been using this beast to train himself. If he had used his eyes from the beginning, the battle might have ended from the very start.

Unfortunately for him, Ryu didn't hear his curses because he had already separated from him. He could only keep the connection going for a few seconds.

Ryu stood on the mountain, waiting.

By this point, Lu'card was truly looking at Ryu weirdly. It wasn't that he couldn't guess that Ryu was using some sort of odd communication method… but he just didn't want to believe that Ryu was using something that he actually couldn't sense at all.

It was truly shocking. What method could a True Sky God possibly use that even he couldn't sense? Something was fishy here.

However, he didn't get an answer because Ryu just continued to stand there and he also refused to go as far as to ask.

In the end, they ended up staying pat until a booming air exploded in the distance and the heat in the surroundings skyrocketed.

BOOM! BOOM!

Ryu coughed, feeling that the air had gotten too musty. Ianjor had practically burned up all the oxygen. If he were a mortal, he'd most definitely already be suffering greatly.

The fire-haired man landed with an equally fiery passion. He looked as though he wanted to blow a hole right through Ryu.

The amusing part was that the wound on his chest had already long since healed, but there was nothing that he could do about his clothing. It seemed that, much like Ryu, he only had a single pair.

They never really thought about such things, and it showed when it was needed most.

"You're here," Ryu said with a smile.

Ianjor was about to snap when he looked over to see Lu'card.

"The dragon too? You got all of us dragged into this mess?"

"Me?" Ryu said innocently. "I don't have the ability to send us all so far."

"Don't give me that. I already know this is your fault, it definitely is, or else you wouldn't have that smug, bastard smile on your face."

Ryu smiled and didn't say much else about the topic. It was definitely his fault, but that didn't mean that he had to admit it. They didn't need to know that.

"It's good that we're here together now." Ryu pivoted to the next topic. "That means that we can really begin to do some damage."

No matter how powerful Lu'card was, he wasn't yet a Dao Sovereign. Although he and Ryu could work together to deal with them, it was ultimately something that would, one, not be able to convince the masses, and two, be something that could potentially get them killed if they were just a little bit careless.

But Ianjor… he was a true Lord. Not only that, but he had Heavenly Pupils just like they did.

Right now, Ryu's eyes were ranked in the twenties, a far cry from their usual rankings. But Lu'card's Blackhole Pupils were ranked fourth still. As for Ianjor's Fire Pupils, they, too, got a boost in this world, ranking sixth.
