The Ruler
236. The Dark Forest.
In the world of the soul.
" Swhus. swhus." Mao Tang and his entourage appeared on a mountain peak in the southern region of the soul world. The sight and atmosphere were so soothing that they were astonished.
" Are we thrown into a small world?" mao Bing asked in surprise.
" Gentlemen, we are currently inside the soul world of young ruler Qing Ruo," Long Chen said starting to explain the place.
" The world of souls? hu Yan Lan and her entourage asked in surprise.
" Right, this is the world of that legendary soul."
" Then what is the name of the young ruler?" ask Mao Tang.
" It's because young ruler Qing Ruo is the heir to the southern great imperial throne," Long Chen replied calmly, leaving them even more astonished.
" But it's very confusing. Wasn't young master Qing Ruo from the Qing clan, then how could he be the heir to the throne of that Shen Luo?" mayi Gui asked in surprise.
" Fellow brothers. The name Qing that the young Sovereign had came from the sacred breed of Shen Guoshi Qing Fengbao, the first son of Shen Guoshi's grand daughter Qing Kongque. From the mother's side, the young ruler was the son of Shen Guoshi's daughter Ling Yun, who was the only daughter of patriarch Shen Guoshi Ling Zhong," long Chen's words made Mao Bing and his entourage almost drop his jaw.
" Now I understand," Hu Yan Lan said.
" General Hu Yan Lan, you mean?". Ask Mao Tang.
" It means that the issue regarding Shen Guoshi Ling Zhong, who was Shen Guoshi Xiong Mao Tian's apprentice and adopted son, is true" Hu Yan Lan replied, explaining the figure of Qing Ruo who suddenly had a white jade badge pictured in the sky purple bamboo before.
The previous Long Chen was also so curious, as the three dark forest masters were suddenly so respectful towards Qing Ruo finally understood.
" No wonder the young ruler survived when the white panda figure of the gold claw." Innering.
" Senior Long Chen, then what about that young Sovereign?" ask Mayi Xian.
" Young ruler Qing Ruo is the disciple as well as the adopted son of the great ruler Shen Luo Feng," Long Chen replied.
" It turns out, the young ruler Qing Ruo has the destiny of the heavens as the main one," Mayi Gui said, changing her call to Qing Ruo.
" Is there a question?" ask Long Chen.
" We understand seniors," they said respectfully.
" Brothers, I want to explain that whoever he is when he enters the world of the soul, there is no longer the term general or senior. We are all brothers and people who are very trusted by the young ruler, however we still have to respect the brother who became the first servants" said Long Chen, and led them to leave the place to the golden dragon palace, explaining their rights and duties as servants, and the important places in the world in detail.

The forbidden dark forest.
" Swhus... swhus.." Hu Xie Fang's figure standing on the blade of the flying sword, continued to move carrying Yanshi Gong through the giant Dark Forest calmly.
" Mister Yanshi Gong, it seems that from earlier you wanted to ask something," Hu Xie Fang said respectfully.
" Right Ruler Hu Xie Fang, I am very curious about the status of young master Qing Ruo," Yanshi Gong said in seriousness.
" Mister Yanshi Gong, do you really not know? weren't you previously the one who continued to be with him?"
" Lord Hu Xie Fang, I was indeed with young master Qing Ruo, but I even knew a moment before, after the ruler Hu Xie Fang and the entourage came to see us," he said seriously.
" Mister Yanshi Gong, young master Qing Ruo is the owner of the sky purple bamboo white jade badge. It meant that he was an important figure whose power was on par with that of the immortal Shen Guoshi Xiong Mao Tian."
" That means the entire forest area is under his control?" Yanshi Gong asked in surprise.
" Right, this entire dark forest area is under his command."
" But this is so strange, how could young master Qing Ruo suddenly have a sky purple bamboo white jade badge. He doesn't even have the slightest connection with Shen Guoshi Xiong Mao" Yanshi Gong said in surprise.
" The ruler Hu Xie Fang was right, because all this time, Shen Guoshi Xiong Mao was so secretive. I even found out that the ancient clan was in this dark forest" said Yanshi Gong.
" Mister Yanshi Gong, Shen Guoshi Xiong Mao is indeed a very reclusive ancient clan, but they also have very good relations with another ancient clan, Shen Guoshi Ling, as well, where the son of the great patriarch Shen Guoshi Ling Tian is, Ling Zhong is Shen Guoshi Xiong's eternal disciple and adopted son Mao Tian" Hu Xie Fang explained, leaving Yanshi Gong speechless.
" I finally understand. That means young master Qing Ruo is his great-granddaughter, Xiong Mao Tian." Yanshi Gong.
" Mister Yanshi Gong, please keep this matter a secret from the outside world" Hu Xie Fang said seriously.
" Good ruler Hu Xie Fang. "
" One more thing, please lord and members of the Yanshi clan not to enter this area once in a while, because the special right is only given to the master, not to other members of the clan."
" Okay" Yanshi Gong said respectfully.

Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo who was cultivating opened her eyes, staring at the figure of Ying Yin who was sitting not far away from him.
" Ying Yin, it looks like we can already continue on our way."
" Good master," with a respectful attitude, then transformed into a silver eagle.
" Swhuss.." the figure of Qing Ruo flew over his back slowly.
After making sure Qing Ruo was really above her back, Ying Yin then moved away from the place slowly.
" Mister, where are we headed?"
" Ping Xie sky mountain," Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Good sir..."
" Swhus... swhus.." his figure moved swiftly, entering the territory of the black ice gate.
From above the sky, Qing Ruo felt every place he passed by was filled with dark aura, even the thickness of the ice-cold fog blocking the view made the place even more gripping.
" Ying Yin, are you still able to see clearly?"
" Can you sir." While explaining himself who was accustomed to the environment.
" If so, do you recognize this area?"
" There are not many masters, because we are basically forbidden to be in this region."
" Then what about Ping Xie Sky Mountain?"
" The servant never visited the place sir, but the servant knew the direction. If there are no obstacles, in three days we will arrive at Ping city, from that city one day trip, we will arrive at that place" Ying Yin replied.
" What about the Yin Clan?"
" Mister, the Yin clan is in the Yin sky mountain. From the sky mountain of Ping Xie, it was approximately five days of travel," Ying Yin replied, as she continued to have casual conversations, answering Qing Ruo's question regarding the area of the Black Ice Gate.
From Ying Yin's explanation, Qing Ruo finally learned that in the black gate region there were hundreds of cities and thousands of dark clans that some of them were ancient clans.
" Keep moving," Qing Ruo said.
" Good sir...."
