The Ruler

The Ruler
65. Towards the Northern Border Desert.


Qing Yong Jun who was looking at Luo Feng and Qing Ruo laughed became confused.


" Dad, grandpa, is there anything funny?"


" Of course, were you unaware of your words earlier?"


Qing Yong Jun who still did not understand could only shake his head.


" Jun er, maybe all this time you thought great grandfather knew everything," Qing Ruo said, making Qing Yong Jun scratch his non-itchy head.


" Jun er, there are so many secrets on the divine land that not even the rulers reveal, so you should always be careful." luo Feng said as he rubbed Qing Yong Jun's head gently.


" Good grandfather." Qing Yong Jun nodded his head.


" Jun er, the great ruler is not like an emperor or a king. Just like Grandpa Xin Moshu who was in the blue lotus continent, where his knowledge was also limited, so was Grandfather," Qing Ruo explained.


" Good dad, I get it. To be honest, I had previously thought that great grandfather knew everything, so I was so astonished when the great grandfather said that he also did not know the existence of the Divine Mark organization."


" Jun er, knowledge in the wake, of everything you have ever learned, so the more you learn, the wider your knowledge," Luo Feng said softly.


" Good Grandpa," he said hesitantly.


" Speak," Luo Feng said softly.


" The secret" he said slowly.


Luo Feng who had previously promised to tell her a secret, nodded his head.


" Alright," Luo Feng replied.


Yet at the moment when Luo Feng was about to tell a story, Qing Ruo suddenly felt several figures approaching his room.


" Jun er, father, I will be leaving soon," Qing Ruo said.


" Daddy Mean?"


" There's business I need to get done.  After the business is done, Father will be back soon," Qing Ruo said.


" Good father," Qing Yong Jun replied.


After saying goodbye to Luo Feng and Qing Yong Jun, Qing Ruo came out of the soul world, to meet Hua Zhen who was now getting closer to his room.


" Brother Ruo," Hua Zhen said to Qing Ruo from the front door of the room politely.


" Good brother," Qing Ruo replied as she walked out of her room.


" Brother Ruo, this is elder Thong and elder Zun, who will accompany us in searching for the resources in question".


" Alright, be respectful to elder Hua Thong and elder Hua Zun," Qing Ruo said kindly, making the two men with grayed hair also cupped his hands respectfully.


" Honor the young Ruler Qing Ruo." he said kindly.


" Alright, let's go," said Hua Zhen carrying the party out of his residence towards the city fortress.


Along the way. Qing Ruo could feel several pairs of eyes watching their movements. Even more so when he arrived at the city fortress. The few soldiers who had previously received his arrival in the city looked so shocked.


" Isn't this young man from the Shen Luo clan?" Canteen wonder.


" Young master," he said welcoming the arrival of Hua Zhen and his entourage with respect.


Hua Zhen nodded his head, smiling kindly as he asked the soldier to open the city gate.


" Thank you soldier," he said, taking Qing Ruo and his entourage away from the city gates.


A kilometer later.


" Sister," Hua Zhen said asking Qing Ruo to lead the troupe.


" Alright," Qing Ruo replied, then moved to lead the troupe.


***


Somewhere else.


Huo Mingzhi, Huo Zhoudau, Thou Thou and his entourage continued to move in the border region of the black ice forest. Throughout the day they checked the area out of the area, and continued to move to inspect the desert region of the northern border.


***


Somewhere else.


Ten thousand gold-cloak troops led by two major generals, and ten low-level generals arrived at the Northern fortress. Among the troops were Heian Bai, Jianyu, and Dalu Rong who immediately separated from the group.


" Brother Jianyu, in an hour we will move towards the northern ice forest area" Heian Bai said as he moved away from the place to rest.


****


The northern ice river.


Qing Ruo and his entourage continued to move away from Hua City, entering the giant lotus forest.


" Sister Qing Ruo, where are we going now?"


" Northern desert," Qing Ruo replied.


" Why could that be? Aren't we exploring the black ice forest and other areas?" ask Hua Zhen.


" Sister Hua Zhen, high-level resources always have a mark that can attract the attention of many people. It is very strange that this clan in the Northern ice forest region is not aware of it."


"Brother Ruo is right. During this time the northern border desert area is an untouched place. Besides that place looks ordinary, it is also under the supervision of an army of golden robes" Hua Zhen said as he continued to move.


Five hours later, they came out of the giant lotus forest, and arrived in the northern ice forest area, but suddenly they felt a huge movement in front of them.


" Sister Qing Ruo," Hua Zhen said.


" The army of golden robes," Qing Ruo said as she carried her entourage away.


" Sister Qing Ruo, what are they doing in this place?"


" Sister, I don't know either," Qing Ruo replied. But just as they were about to hide, suddenly Qing Ruo and her entourage saw three gold-masked figures moving ahead of the huge power approaching them.


" Brother Ruo, they are looking at us," Hua Zhen said in surprise, staring at the three gold-masked figures in surprise.


" Young master, they are sky-eyed warriors" elder Hua Thong explained.


Qing Ruo who also did not know if the figure before him was a celestial eye warrior, only nodded her head.


" Stay calm" Qing Ruo said.


" Swhus..." The three figures appeared before Qing Ruo and his entourage.


" Brother, please show me his identity." said one of them kindly, while displaying an imperial gold badge.


" Brother, I'm Hua Zun, He is our young master, Hua Zhen, and his best friend," Introduced Qing Ruo to the three figures.


" Old Hua Zun, thank you. But we need proof" said one of them speaking kindly, forcing Hua Zhen and his entourage to show their Clan badges.


" Alright," Qing Ruo replied then showing the badge of the Luo Clan, while Hua Zhen, elder Hua Zun and Hua Thong showed the badge of the Hua clan.


" Thank you, young master. We are currently hunting the Yin Clan. If the young elders and masters see any strange movements, immediately notify us or the golden robe army."  Cupped his hands respectfully.


" Good sir," said Hua Thong.


" Older, young master. Sorry for interrupting all of you." Cupped his hands respectfully, then moved away from the place.


" The sky eye army turned out to be very powerful. Even his soldiers alone were second-rate semi-immortals."  Qing Ruo made her mind up, while staring at the departure of the three gold-masked figures.


After the three gold-masked figures left, five minutes later, ten thousand golden-robed soldiers led by the two main generals moved past the place towards the Northern river region


In their hiding place. Hua Zhen looked so astonished.


" Sister Qing Ruo, does that mean the members of the Yin clan are in this northern ice forest region?" Hua Zhen asked curiously.


" Brother, the last time I fought against them was in the valley of the ice wolf mountain," Qing Ruo replied.


" Did they move using short-range teleportation gates? Because the distance from the mountain valley of the ice wolf to this place is approximately three thousand five hundred and fifty kilometers."


" Brother Zhen, we cannot conclude such a thing, because the only route they can cross is the northern ice forest area. As for crossing the icy river, perhaps they needed time and place to make preparations, so it was no wonder the golden robe army inspected this area."


" Young Ruler, right," Hua Zun said.


" All we need to do at the moment is, as far as possible avoid meeting with the Yin Clan," Qing Ruo said as she carried them moving away from the place.


" What do you mean by brother Ruo?"


" They're in a difficult situation right now, and they need a lot of strength. With the amount we throw away this little bit, I'm sure they will capture and turn us into his dark army" Qing Ruo explained.


" Mister Qing Ruo is right," Hua Thong said, then moved away from the place.


All day long they continued to move out of the ice forest towards the northern desert region, as they approached the border region, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting.


" Brother Qing Ruo, something has happened in front of us. What do we do?" Ask Hua Zhen.


" We better make sure which side is fighting." Moving closer to the battle site.


After continuing to move carefully, they were finally able to see the group that was fighting.
