Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1309  What Use Is It?

Rogryll\'s laughter hadn\'t even come to a stop yet, but Ryu\'s voice cut through it just as easily. He didn\'t seem moved by this Patriarch\'s fury in the slightest. In fact, his own brewing rage made those around feel as though two tigers were facing off in the jungle. Even Hurath felt as though he was drenched in sweat, no one could remember the last time anyone had spoken to Rogryll like this, because there simply wasn\'t an example of it happening in the past. The last echoes of Rogryll\'s laughter continued to boom. He looked down toward Ryu. The fleshly crimson eyes of his seemed to be an even deeper shade of red at the moment. When he looked toward Ryu, all those even in the general vicinity felt like they had been forcefully shrunk an entire foot. "You really think that I don\'t dare to kill you."

"You can dare to do whatever you want, what does that have to do with me? It\'ll be you who has to deal with the consequences in the end," Ryu said coldly. "You think that woman cares about a cripple like you?"

"The fact you think I have to rely on others just shows me why it is your Dream Asura Race is so pathetic. When I speak, I speak with my own ability, relying on others is for the weak. You went to the True Nether World, hat in hand, eyes to the ground, knees ready to bend, and you didn\'t expect this sort of result? "And now, under your leadership, you do nothing as your daughter is castigated by your supposed subordinates. Why? Because they feel frustrated that they\'re too weak and cowardly to fight for a space for themselves?

"The moment you chose to negotiate, you had already lost. You have no backbone, you have too many concerns, you are weak."

Ryu\'s words boomed, their echo no less thunderous. It was as though his voice traveled through the void, quaking the surrounding voidal nodes and making it echo with more force. Rogryll felt suffocated. He wanted to lash out again, but how could he make the same mistake twice. He felt as though a twin pair of fire laden hands were wrapping around his throat. He had never felt so stifled in his life. Usually, he would have just attacked to kill, but how could he? No matter what he said, the imprint of that woman\'s strength was still in his mind. And even if she didn\'t care about a cripple like Ryu, the fact that he had been crippled in their territory was still something he wasn\'t quite sure how to deal with, this didn\'t even mention the pressure coming from his own daughter. Who knew that Ryu actually wasn\'t finished yet, though? "You could have simply gone and staked your land. You think that every power on the Plane you chose would gang up against you? Do they not have enemies of their own? Do they not have people who would much rather them be destroyed? Do they not have concerns of their own? "But now you\'ve not only taken a stance of weakness, but you\'ve announced your arrival at the same time so they\'ll be perfectly ready. "If you aren\'t weak willed, then you\'re too stupid to lead anyone. "What options do you have remaining here? To die at the hands of the Higher Heavens? Or to leave 99% of your Clan behind and send off 10 million to suicide themselves? Both of these options mean death because of nothing more than cowardice. "How foolish can you be, exactly? But I\'m not sure what I\'d expect from a father willing to allow his own daughter to take on such a burden. "What value does your strength and power have if it can\'t be used now?!
