The Ruler
143. The Tongzhe City.
A vast transparent shield-fortified city, tehampar on the top of a floating mountain, which illuminated thousands of light crystal pillars that stood at every corner of the city.
While moving closer to the south gate of the city. Not forgetting Qing Ruo reminded Long Chen to disguise his cultivation level.
By the time the two of them arrived in front of the southern gate of the city, two silver-robed warriors came up to him, then carried out an inspection.
" Gentlemen, please identify him" said the soldier kindly.
Immediately Long Chen showed the badge of the Na Clan, as well as explaining the purpose of their arrival in the city.
After checking the identity and destination for Qing Ruo and Long Chen's arrival in the city, the soldier then asked them to pay an entrance fee of fifty immortal soul crystals.
" Thank you, sir." While letting Qing Ruo and Long Chen enter in kindly.
" Thank you master," Long Chen said as he led Qing Ruo into the city.
In the city of Tongzhe.
" The scenery and atmosphere of this city are so comfortable, even the spiritual aura is so soothing," Long Chen said as he casually stepped foot.
" Right, at least this city is more orderly than Bei Shan city, where everyone freely carries his mount ferocious beasts" Qing Ruo said as he looked at the warriors who had come in the city, none of them carried any wild animals in the city.
While heading towards the city center, Qing Ruo and Long Chen chatted leisurely while enjoying the atmosphere and the view of the city.
" Lord, are we going to continue our journey?" ask Long Chen.
" It's best that we rest first, I want to learn the forbidden techniques of the Xun clan that I still haven't fully learned."
" Good ruler."
After continuing to walk, in the center of the city they finally found a simple inn.
" Ruler, Ice Rose inn. Are we going to....?"
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
Immediately Long Chen went to the waiter, and took care of their lodging fees.
After paying the lodging fee, the Servant then led Qing Ruo and Long Chen to her room which was on the second floor of the inn.
Along the hallway to his room. Qing Ruo and Long Chen could feel several pairs of eyes watching their movements.
" Ruler," said Long Chen speaking telepathically to Qing Ruo, while following the servant who directed them.
" Be calm. They are just the guards" Qing Ruo said.
" But the ruler, this aura..."
" Right, this is an intimidating murderous aura so that we don't cause trouble in this place. Calm down," Qing Ruo said casually.
After moving for some time, they finally arrived inside his room.
" Please master," said the servant welcoming Qing Ruo in a friendly manner.
" Thank you, miss." Then enter his room.
After escorting Qing Ruo, the servant then escorted Long Chen to his room, which was two rooms away from Qing Ruo's place.
In his room.
After sealing the room with a high-level protection formation spell, Qing Ruo then laid herself down on the bed while allowing the spiritual aura present within the room to enter her body.
" Having failed to rest in Bei Shan city, finally accomplished as well" he said.
After resting for two hours, Qing Ruo then continued her activities of learning the forbidden techniques of the Xun clan.

In another room.
Long Chen who had finished recuperating, then walked out of his room, looking for information at the inn restaurant that was on the ground floor.
After some time in that place, Long Chen then left the inn, looking for information regarding the existence of the teleportation gate that was in Tongzhe city.

In his room.
Two hours later, Qing Ruo who was studying the secret techniques of the Xun clan stopped her work, staring at the secret technique scroll that was before her in disappointment.
" It's not complete" he said slowly, then kept the scroll. " If there's time, I'll see them back, '" she said.
After thinking for quite a while, Qing Ruo then summoned Mao Lei from within the soul world.
" Ruler," he said with respect.
" Mao Lei, did you find his share of the forbidden book of the Xun clan inside another storage ring?"
" Lord, I do not know, for we have not seen the contents of the Storage Ring." While showing the storage ring to Qing Ruo.
" Why could that be?" qing Ruo asked in surprise.
Qing Ruo shook her head.
" It belongs to you, and I have no right to see it either. Tell you what, if you check the contents of the ring later, I just want you to search for this incomplete Xun clan's engineering book." While handing over the technique scroll to Mao Lei.
" But the ruler, this storage ring is yours." said Mao Lei seriously.
Qing Ruo shook her head.
" I will wait," he said slowly, leaving Mao Lei speechless.
" Good ruler."
The reason Qing Ruo was so eager to master the book was, in order to be able to subdue a savage beast without having to use soul chains and give it its blood power, because every time he released the soul chain seal, it continuously disrupted the foundation of his strength.
After conversing for quite a while, Qing Ruo then asked Mao Lei to stand guard at that place.
" Good ruler...."
" Swhus.." Huo Zhaodau's figure appeared inside the room.
" Mao Lei, Zhoudau, if there's anything suspicious, let me know immediately."
" Good Ruler." with respect.
After saying those words, Qing Ruo then left the two beasts behind, then entered the soul world.
" Swhuss..." His figure vanished before the two beasts, leaving behind a blue ball the size of an adult human fist floating and gently shaking.
****
In the world of the soul.
Qing Ruo then appeared in the golden palace, meeting Qing Lian An and Qing Ling who were resting.
" Gege," Qing Ling said welcoming Qing Ruo's arrival with her warm smile.
" Ling er, how's An er doing?" while approaching Qing Ling, hugged and kissed her forehead gently.
" He's fine. Look..." While pointing at Qing Lian An who was fast asleep.
" Dad's daughter," Qing Ruo said softly, peeping her forehead gently, while watching Qing Lian An's slumbering face.
After being satisfied looking at that little face, Qing Ruo then walked up to Qing Ling and sat down by her side.
" Ling er, we are currently in Tongzhe city," Qing Ruo said as he began his astrology, explaining the series of events that had occurred since they left the northern valley of Bei Tian mountain.
Qing Ling who heard Qing Ruo's explanation nodded her head, and gently looked at the face of the figure that kept on blabbing before her.
" Hopefully the north is going well" he said slowly.
" Ling er, I have learned important information regarding the existence of the Qing clan that is in the Blue Lotus Continent, it turns out to have a relationship with Shen Guoshi Qing who is on the divine land."
" Really?" Eagerly.
" Right," Qing Ruo replied as she explained the whereabouts of ancestor Qing Fengbao, who was the son of ancestor Shen Guoshi Qing Kongque.
" Ling er, until now I was still so curious about your true identity." Staring at Qing Ling softly.
" That's gege?"
" Ling er, I know that the Duan Clan and the Yin Clan are not your origin, but there are clans...."
" Shen Lan," Qing Ling said softly.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Right of guess. That means Shen Lan who was on the blue lotus continent came from the divine land?"
" Right, but Gege, we were both born in the Blue Lotus Continent, so I don't know clearly the divine land."
" Does Ling er know the ancestral history of Shen Lan?"
Qing Ling shook her head.
" All I know is that our ancestor Shen Lan Tian is a great god who left the divine land. Regarding the reason, we don't even know at all."
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
"The great gods who left the divine land, always kept their identities a secret, including Qing Fengbao's ancestor, even Ancestor Xin Fangye. Ling er, if given the chance by time, I also want to meet the ancestral main Clan on this divine land."
" But Gege?"
" Ling er, they are also our family. I'm sure the ancestors left because of a problem. Wouldn't it be better to correct a mistake than to damage it?"
Qing Ling nodded her head, looking at Qing Ruo gently.
" Gege's right."
While chatting casually, the two of them finally fell asleep.
