The Ruler
124. Mount Bei Tian II.
Somewhere else.
Dugu Chen and his two brothers, Dugu Wan and Dugu Cai continued to move away from the cliff of a niche, approaching the center of the battle that took place in the inner region of the mountain.
" I didn't expect that we would actually find that figure, but it's a pity that we've done the wrong thing..." Dugu Chen grumbled as he continued moving.
" True, baj***n it has really deceived us," said Dugu Wan resentfully.
" Dhuar.." a small explosion suddenly made Dugu Wan who was moving from tree to tree fall.
" Akh.." he groaned in pain, surprising Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai, who had not even had the chance to save the body.
" Sister, what's going on?" Dugu Chen asked, approaching, the figure of Dugu Wan who looked so in pain and with her broken left hand and sprained left leg, began to cry loudly.
" Sister, don't get embarrassed!" said Dugu Cai annoyed.
But suddenly Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai were so surprised, with their jaws frozen when they saw the figure of Dugu Wan who had apparently lost his cultivation.
" Sister, what's going on?" dugu Chen asked as he circulated his gaze, examining the place furiously.
" Seals Mantra." said Dugu Wan.
" Strant seal?" asked the still confused Dugu Cai.
" Golden chain," said Dugu Wan once again as he hardened his jaw, enduring the lingering pain on his left hand and leg.
" It turns out that spell seal is also spying on our words. Brother Chen, what should we do?" dugu Cai asked with a tense face.
" If you don't want to lose your cultivation, then we must obey all his commands absolutely.." While looking at Dugu Wan who could only regret his words.
" In just one word, he instantly destroyed our cultivation. The young master is truly a person we should not offend," said Dugu Chen.
Dugu Cai nodded his head, looking at Dugu Wan who could now only cry.
" Sister Chen, we should take brother Wan to a safer place, because this place is very dangerous," said Dungu Cai.
" Alright," Dugu Chen replied, then raised the body of Dugu Wan who had lost that cultivation, moving away from that place.

In the niche.
Qing Ruo who was studying the foreign spiritual power within the niche was suddenly approached by Thou Thou.
" Thou Thou, how is it?" qing Ruo asked.
" Lord, I did not manage to enter the inner region of the mountain, because the battle attracted the attention of other beasts..."
" What do these animals do?"
" It looks like they gathered to help the golden-clawed white tiger guard the place..."
" That means the golden-clawed white tiger is the main ruler in this place. Did you see him?"
" There is no ruler. Probably waiting for strength as these intruders weakened. Then what should we do?"
" Wait for Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai to return."
" What does the ruler mean? Then where is the other young man?"
" I've sent them to inspect the battle area, while one other young man has been neutralized..."
" Okay" Thou Thou said, then stood guard at the spot.
While waiting for Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai, Qing Ruo again studied the spiritual power within the niche, while Thou Thou stood guard at that place.

Somewhere else.
Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai who had secured Dugu Wan, moved towards the center of the battle.
From afar they could both see flashes of attack light that produced explosions, illuminating the night's increasingly late darkness.
" Sister, there are many high-level warriors. What do we do?" ask Dugu Cai.
" Okay" replied Dugu Cai.
The mountain area is covered with giant trees, as well as large rocks that are hidden in various places, such as, making Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai able to move while hiding from the ferocious beasts that kept coming in that place.
The closer they were to the center of the battle, then the clearer they felt the aura of the ferocious beasts present in that place.
After making a move, Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai finally actually arrived at the battle area, watching the extremely terrifying chaos up close, shaking their heads.
" It seems like the efforts of the warriors to obtain the soul-strengthening golden grass will fail" said Dugu Cai, while gazing at the dozens of high-level semi-eternal warriors who continued to battle against the ferocious beasts that kept coming incessantly.
" I think so too" said Dugu Chen.
After examining the place and observing the situation clearly, Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai then moved away from the place, returning to meet Qing Ruo who was waiting for them inside the niche.

In the niche.
Qing Ruo who was studying the foreign spiritual power within the niche, opened her eyes, looking at Thou Thou who was looking at her curiously.
" Lord, what's wrong?"
" Thou Thou, right now I don't know the spiritual power that freed this place from the rules of space and time that sealed the Bei Tian mountain in, but I can understand two things. The first rule of space and time in this place is unstable, the second way we put ourselves in the seal of space and time." Eagerly.
" What does the Ruler mean?"
" The rules of space and time in this place are not purely due to the rules of heaven and earth, but made by others, so few have some weaknesses and gaps. In addition, in this bound space and time, in order for us to be more free, we must put ourselves in the ideal condition of the rule." said Qing Ruo eagerly.
" Does that mean the ruler can use his full strength in this place?"
" It seems so..."
Thou Thou who was so curious, then tried to interpret Qing Ruo's explanation, but suddenly they both felt two figures moving towards that place.
" Swhuss.swhus..." Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai arrived.
" Mister," said Dugu Chen as he spoke respectfully, following Dugu Cai who was behind him.
Qing Ruo nodded her head, while asking them to report her work.
" Mister, the center of the battle is currently in the eastern valley. In that place were thirty-one high-level warriors who were fighting against thousands of low-level to high-level beasts, who continued to arrive nonstop guarding the place. Even the golden-clawed white tiger was still not out of its nest."
" What about the outcome of the battle?"
" It seems like the mission to obtain the soul reinforcement golden grass this time will fail," replied Dugu Chen quietly.
" I mean....?" qing Ruo asked in surprise.
" Sir, are you not a northern border person?"
" Right," Qing Ruo replied casually.
" Mister, this is a secret mission carried out by high-level warriors who are in the Bei Tian mountain chain region every two hundred years. This activity in addition to getting the legendary golden grass, this activity is also to raise the reputation of the clan who managed to get the golden grass. The reason for the failure, first because of the rules of space and time that sealed the power of a high-level Semi immortal into a low-level god warrior. In addition, the wild animals on this mountain have also prepared themselves." Dugu Chen explained.
Suddenly the place became silent, making Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai slightly happy.
" Brother Chen, after hearing the explanation from us, I'm sure they will retreat from that place so that thus we can save ourselves," said Dugu Cai speaking through telepathy to Dugu Chen, speaking to Dugu Chen, who seemed to be waiting for Qing Ruo's response.
" The power of the rules of space and time is terrible. If a high-ranking semi-Eternal swordsman alone was made into an ordinary God-level swordsman. Then what about the god-level swordsman who came here. It was fortunate that the ruler was free from the rules of space and time." said Thou Thou speaking telepathically to Qing Ruo, who was still speechless.
" Of course, the low-level god warriors who came in the inner region of the mountain would be a figure without cultivation." Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Fathers, then what about them?" Staring at Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai who were still kneeling before Qing Ruo.
" These people from the Dugu clan are intolerable, as they always want to oppress others, but killing them just like that is not the right thing."
" So Lord, what are we going to do to him?"
" Look down, I won't let go of the person who already wants to do evil to me" Qing Ruo said as she climbed onto Thou Thou's back.
" Let me at the center of the battle!" qing Ruo said firmly, making Dugu Chen and Dugu Cai so shocked.
" Ba-good sir." stammeredly, then moved lead the way.
