The Ruler

The Ruler
257. Shi Clan.


Above the dark sky with an incomparably cold chill, Ying Yin continued to move at her peak speed.


" Lord, there are still five more days of travel," Ying Yin said as she continued to move calmly.


" Alright," Qing Ruo replied as she chatted casually with Hu Yan Lan who looked so wary.


" Swhus.." Qing Yong Jun's figure appeared at that place.


" Dad, are we outside Ping Xie Mountain yet?" Look at the dark area in wonder.


" Right, we are currently moving towards the Yin Sky Mountain," Qing Ruo replied.


" Dad, is the black ice gate area really like this?"


" Right," Qing Ruo replied who wanted Qing Yong Jun to know the other side of the divine realm, while explaining the difference between the region and the middle area that is full of golden aura and scenery that is so extraordinary.


" This area is really extreme. Dad, I wonder why there are still people living in this place" he said, circling his gaze.


" Jun er, this place is not suitable for those who like beauty and comfort, but is an ideal area for those who want to test themselves and build strength. Moreover, finding a new residence was not an easy matter, since every region must have had a master."


" I understand, dad. As for where to live, can't we do it in an elegant way without having to do it with war?"


" Jun er, it's not that easy. There are many things to consider. The area that will be used as a place to live, is not just a place to build a residence just like that. There are important things that we must pay attention to, ranging from security, comfort and availability of resources in the region."


" Dad was right" he said slowly with a glaring look.


" If so, what do you understand?" qing Ruo asked gently.


" Every place that has been mastered, must have resources. Handing over the territory controlled, as well as giving up the resources owned," he said slowly.


" Since losing resources will affect the clan in increasing strength," Qing Ruo said as she gently rubbed her head.


On their side. Hu Yan Lan could only be speechless, listening to Qing Ruo's conversation with her son in awe.


Without feeling the night arrived, making the dark and cold area even darker. 


" Jun er, go back and rest," Qing Ruo said as she opened the dimensional gate of the soul world.


" Good dad. Uncle Hu Yan Lan, I leave first," he said respectfully, then returned into the world of souls. 


After Qing Yong Jun returned into the soul world, the place became silent with an increasingly piercing chill, making Qing Ruo immediately circulate the heat from his body


" Hu Yan Lan, it seems like this is suitable for warming the body," Qing Ruo said as she took out a few urns containing crystal grass wine that she concocted with immortal fruits."


" Thank you, ruler."


Qing Ruo who originally wanted to rest paused her intentions, then chatted casually.


Without feeling it, three days passed. As the day neared afternoon, Qing Ruo asked Ying Yin to stop to rest.


" Ying Yin, we will continue the journey tomorrow morning" he said kindly.


" But the ruler...."


" We will continue the journey tomorrow morning" he said once again.


" Good ruler." Then move on to find a place to rest.


" Swhuss..swhus ..." his figure then moved towards the giant black mountain cliff.


" There," Qing Ruo said pointing at the mountain cliff overgrown with a giant black tree moltting.


" Good ruler."


Not long after, Ying Yin arrived at the cliff and stopped under the black tree.


" You two, return to the world of souls" he said as he opened the dimensional gate of the soul world.


" But the ruler," Hu Yan Lan and Ying Yin said simultaneously.


" Calm down, there's Mayi Gui and Mao Bing who will accompany me" Qing Ruo said who understood their worries.


" Good ruler."


" Ruler," he said with respect.


" Do you know this place?" qing Ruo asked as he inspected the place.


" Black mountain is a great stone, ruler," replied Mayi Gui.


" Is this place safe?"


" It seems so, ruler," Mayi Gui replied once more, while Mao Bing circled her gaze examining the place closely.


" We will rest in this place," Qing Ruo said calmly, as she spread a mat under the giant tree, then sat quietly.


" Both the ruler," Mayi Gui and Mao Bing replied simultaneously taking a stand of alert.


" Sit down, Qing Ruo said as she took out a drink from inside her storage ring, then chatted casually.


" Ruler," Mayi Gui and Mao Bing said simultaneously, suddenly feeling the presence of dozens of auras moving closer to the place.


" Be calm" said Qing Ruo who looked so relaxed.


Just as Qing Ruo finished being speechless, the twenty-five figures of a peak level five stage semi-eternal swordsman were led by two figures of a mid stage seven level semi-eternal swordsman, arrive at that place.


" Ruler, the people of the Shi clan," Mao Bing said speaking to Qing Ruo via telepathy.


" Alright," Qing Ruo replied calmly.


" What are you doing here?" ask the group leader with a sharp look.


" Gentlemen, we just stopped by to rest," Mayi Gui replied kindly.


" This is a forbidden area, leave this place right now!" he said firmly.


" But sir, we -"


" You must be intruders!" said group leader cut off Mayi Gui talks.


" Invaders? Is this huge black stone mountain your territory?" mayi Gui asked with an annoyed face.


" Don't not know yourself. The Sha clan that is the owner of this territory is now already under our control, so we reserve the right to expel you from this place!" With anger burning.


" The Shi Clan, be careful. You are already fishing in the murky water," Mao Bing said with a casual smile, angering the small army even more.


Qing Ruo who was standing leisurely behind Mao Bing and Mayi Gui, listened to the debate without flinching at all.


" Not bad," he said.


In front of Qing Ruo and the troupe. The supervisory troops from the Shi clan were still silent, but from their faces, they had blue nerve veins, which indicated they were so angry.


" You besides being presumptuous, it turns out to be really annoying!" Prepare attack.


" Don't feel great, you're not our opponents" Mao Bing said coldly.


" Brother, they are not afraid of us. Even dare to threaten...."


" Right, what should we do?"


" There's no other way, we have to kill him."


" But, brother...."


" Otherwise?"


" Are we going to kill just anyone? Then what if he comes from an ancient clan?"


" For that, we'll force them to talk. But I can't wait to find that arrogant old face!" Staring sharply at Qing Ruo and his entourage.
