The Ruler
263. Back to Gu Lu City.
Yuan Liu and his entourage were so happy. They really did not expect that Qing Ruo would be interested in the Yuan sky vessel they offered, moreover with Qing Ruo's attitude of being willing to return with them to Gu Lu city.
" I hope that the presence of young master Qing Ruo can help us in overcoming this very strange problem," Xui Yen spoke to his entourage via telepathy.
" I hope so too" said Xui Long.
Behind them.
Qing Ruo, Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao quietly continued to move behind them.
" Lord, I am very curious as to what they will talk about," Mayi Xian said speaking to Qing Ruo via telepathy.
" Maybe this has something to do with the chaos within the city before," Qing Ruo said.
" What is the ruler?"
" Previous prince Yin Zuo along with his troops hunted the people of the Yin clan who were their enemies within Gu Lu city. This is just my guess," Qing Ruo replied.
" How could the ruler know that?" mayi Cao asked in surprise.
" Because at the time of the chaos, I was already inside the city" Qing Ruo replied, leaving Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao so shocked.
" Why then does the ruler not contact us?"
" Previously I wanted to conduct an investigation," Qing Ruo replied which explained the purpose of ascertaining the state of the city, while moving along following Yuan Liu and his entourage.
" So from the beginning the ruler really wanted to make this city as a base for the army?" ask Mayi Xian.
" Right," Qing Ruo replied.
" With the help of the Jin clan, I believe we have come to conquer the Yin Sky Mountain" Mayi Cao said excitedly.
After continuing to move, not long after they finally saw the city gate guarded by hundreds of soldiers who were checking on the visitors who were about to leave the city.
" Daughter, is there any other way besides this city gate?" qing Ruo asked while slowing down his movements.
" You mean young master Qing Ruo?"
" We can't enter the city together, as this will attract attention" Qing Ruo explained.
" Young master, right. There is indeed a secret passage, but the place is sealed, only the father and elders can use it."
" Alright, we just cross that secret path," Qing Ruo said calmly.
" But young master, I don't have that seal either" Yuan Liu said in seriousness.
" Daughter, just take us to that place" Mayi Cao told Yuan Liu by telepathy.
" Good Young Master." Moving from that place to the forbidden area which is meant by a feeling of doubt.
Slowly the group then moved, away from the city gate area, to arrive at the forbidden forest area which was five kilometers west of the city gate.
" Swhus...." The group arrived at the ruins of the building built on a stretch of giant bantu-stones scattered..
" Young master, come" said Lu Dan, along with the other Generals leading the way, entering the building that seemed to be deliberately chaotic.
" Young master, it's actually a secret passageway to leave the city," Yuan Liu explained, looking at Qing Ruo doubtfully.
" No problem," Qing Ruo said calmly.
Not long after that they finally arrived at a room that was quite spacious.
" Young master, on this floor there is a sealed secret door, but we do not know activate it" Xui Long explained.
" Alright, thank you," Qing Ruo said as she circulated her gaze, examining the place closely.
By his side Yuan Liu and the entourage who looked so curious as to what Qing Ruo would do in that place, stood up without speaking a word.
" It turns out that Gu Lu town has quite good formation spell experts," he said slowly.
" What? Pretty good." Yuan Liu and his entourage were innate, even Lu Dan's face instantly flushed red, regarding Qing Ruo's statement as an insult to the founding elders of the city.
" Daughter, I'm starting to dislike this young master" Lu said and spoke to Yuan Liu through telepathy.
" Another ancient blood," Lu Dan said with his mouth agape, with Yuan Liu already speechless.
" Swhuss...." The golden disc broke up, into hundreds of small golden discs, then formed a certain formation array on the floor of the room.
" Mister, who is this young master Qing Ruo really?" yuan Liu asked Mayi Xia and Mayi Cao, while looking at Qing Ruo who continued to make hand seals.
" I'm sorry princess, this is a secret," Mayi Xian replied respectfully, making Yuan Liu only able to nod his head.
On their side, Xui Long and his entourage fell silent, staring at Qing Ruo without blinking.
Lu Dan who previously thought Qing Ruo was insulting the Yuan Clan elders could only smile wryly.
" It turned out that he wasn't bragging," his inner self with a small smile.
" Swhus.." suddenly the floor trembled, and then the secret door was five meters wide.
" Since this is a secret passageway to save her, then her defensive seal is only attached at the beginning and end of the entrance, and I think this passageway is safe," qing Ruo said as he moved into the door of the secret passageway.
" Swhuss...." His figure moved slowly, followed by Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao.
" Daughter," said Lu Dan respectfully.
" Alright, follow young master Qing Ruo," Yuan Liu said, then moved into the secret passageway.
Inside that dark passageway, Qing Ruo then released a blue flame, which moved ahead in front of them slowly.
" It's an amazing job" he said, checking the walls of the hallway, as he moved into the hallway.
" What does the young master mean?" ask Yuan Liu.
" This secret passageway is truly a safe place. In the event of a great battle though, the townspeople could hide in this place," he explained.
After moving the entire time, they finally arrived at the end of the passageway.
" Swhus...." The golden disc of Ling sky appeared then split itself into hundreds of small golden discs that instantly worked on the sealed stone door.
Within minutes, the black stone door moved, slowly opening.
" Daughter, it turns out that this place is in the garden behind the palace," Lu Dan said seriously, then moved with Xui Long ahead of Qing Ruo and her entourage to check on the state of the place.
Not long after, Xui Long returned.
" Daughter, it's safe" he said in a serious report.
" Continue moving towards the base" Yuan Liu said.
" Good daughter." then moved to lead the group.
" Lord, what about this place? Is safe?" mayi Xian asked, speaking via telepathy.
" This is the forbidden area of the palace and not a free area, so stay safe," Qing Ruo replied continuously moving while inspecting the place quietly.
Not too long later, at the moment when they were about to exit the forbidden area, Yuan Liu suddenly stopped their movements.
" Daughter, what's wrong?"
" Yin Clan," he said, pointing to five young men in blue black robes standing guard outside the forbidden area.
" Swhus...." An illusionary formation spell appeared, then formed a transparent shield that restricted Qing Ruo and the entourage with those Yin clan disciples.
" Keep moving," Qing Ruo said speaking through telepathy.
" Good young master." Then keep moving slowly.
Not far from where Qing Ruo and his entourage were.
" Brother, I previously felt the appearance of several auras from within the forbidden area...."
" I also felt it, but suddenly the aura disappeared," while circulating its power, examining the area closely.
" This, strange." said the other student also felt astonished, then moved to check the place.
