1340 The Best?
Ryu's gaze turned incredibly sharp. He hadn't know about any of this, but neither had the Dream Asura Race. If they had, there was no way they would have been goaded into directly attacking like they had. Ironically, for the wrong reasons, Ryu had still made the wrong decision.
His attack this time was indeed based off of the fact that the others wouldn't care to act themselves. There was no way so many powerful Clans would be harmonious. However, he had miscalculated, this was indeed a problem.
"That's not even the half of it," lanjor chuckled, seemingly taking pleasure in Ryu's misfortune. "That little wife of yours has a special scent on her. I can tell that her Soul Fire is quite powerful."
Ryu gaze lanjor a cold glance, but the latter didn't seem to see it at all.
"If she's so powerful, then her claim to the Fifth Plane is just as strong as anyone else's, and she's also within the appropriate age range, while also happening to be quite a beauty. I'm sure I don't need to explain much else about this to your, right? But I will anyway because this matter is more than about lust.
"The Plane favors young geniuses, but it favors young couples even more so. The younger you are and the higher your cultivation, the better. Empana is already ranked one in this regard, he has no match. But the other Clans are aware of this and still dare to participate, that means they had trump cards of their own.
"If they found out about this little wife of yours existence, its hard to tell how they might react. You know how lascivious demons are, their Plane Spirits are just the same. The prefer two young geniuses mated together in holy matrimony because this means that its blessing will be perfectly passed down to the next generation through the both of them.
"For demons, whose entire inheritance is based on their Bloodlines, something they're quite like beasts in this regard, this is of utmost importance to them."
lanjor laughed harder the colder Ryu's expression became.
He didn't know exactly what had happened here, but he had some guesses. A genius young lady of the Dream Asuras, probably a little princess to her people, was here leading garbage units? Even if you ripped his heart out of his chest he wouldn't believe that this wasn't Ryu's fault.
In fact, considering there was no backup anywhere in sight, Ryu probably stormed all the way here in a fit of rage to prove them wrong, only to pick up an iron ball and drop it on his own foot. It was so funny that lanjor couldn't help but wheeze.
There was no way that Empana would just let them leave. Plus, he was already at the standard that he could probably withstand a 100% blow from Ryu, and then what would Ryu do after that even if he ended up heavily injured afterward? He would be far too drained of Focus Qi to attack again, while there were still three other Sky Gods here.
Obviously, lanjor had no intention of putting his life on the line for this matter. He was already in hiding and obviously couldn't easily expose himself, and even if he could, why should he put his life on the line for Ryu's stupid mistake? Ryu wouldn't even consider asking, his pride was far too deeply entrenched for that.
lanjor was practically already half way toward a mad cackle. He was enjoying this too much. That smart mouth of Ryu's painting him into a corner was something he had never seen before, this sort of novel feeling made him feel better than a week in a top of the line brothel could.
Ryu's gaze flickered. He had already filtered out lanjor's mad laughter and had thought of several solutions. He still had methods of retreating. Though it would put a toll on him, it was still better than the alternative.
He was ready to move and ignore lanjor completely when he was suddenly pulled back.
"Hey, hey, hey, let me laugh a bit more. Plus, your magnanimous big brother has a solution. You're a huge nerd right? Just put that big noggin of yours to use, running your mouth is all you're good for, right?"
Ryu sent a cold glance toward lanjor.n0Velusb.c0m
"You can't escape, little guy. The teleportation platform you used to get here has probably already been targeted. Unless you can find a way to hide on the Fifth Plane, you're pretty much screwed."
"I'll just build a new one," Ryu said coldly.
lanjor laughed uproariously. "You see? That head of yours is useful for something, why waste time using it to escape? Especially when there's advantages to be gained?"
"What are you talking about? Speak clearly," Ryu said coldly.
"It's simple, really. More than just one person could benefit from this Birth Right, or else why do you think I'm here? Out of the kindness of my heart?"
Ryu looked toward Empana who was staring at the two of them quite patiently. Weren't he and lanjor quite good friends?
"Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy, and I am good friends with him, but that's not enough to take the risk to reveal myself without adequate benefits. If you're obedient, maybe you can get some benefits too. The best way to protect your missus is to be more valuable than she is."
Ryu frowned. What was lanjor trying to do here?
Yes, he felt that his value as a Ruin Master was beyond what these people could imagine, but would they believe that? Just bringing up that a Dao Pedestal Realm expert would be more valuable to them than the masters they had already collected would get lanjor laughed out of the room.
What mattered most was what could be proven in a short time. The gaze of this Empana individual was sharp, and the longer Ryu and lanjor spoke like this, the more suspicious he became. He wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he was observing the two of them at all.
But before Ryu could say anything more, the barrier lanjor had put up vanished and his laughter echoed throught he skies.
"Empana, you're in luck, I've found you the best Ruin Master in the Nether World."
Let alone Empana's expression, even those of his associate changed entirely.
Ryu's expression became frighteningly cold. This would probably be the most risky situation he had been in since he had stepped into the True Martial World.
