The Ruler
67. Arriving in the Northern Border Desert.
Suddenly the place became quiet. They all looked at each other, moreover Heian Bai and Dalu Rong who did not expect that Qing Ruo was the son of a ruler.
" It turns out that soldier Zhao was right. He was not just a young master, but the son of a great ruler," Dalu Rong spoke telepathically to Heian Bai who barely believed Hua Zhen's description.
" How is it possible" he hesitated. But the strength that Qing Ruo showed in fighting showed that she was indeed from the Luo clan.
On the other side. Murong Jianyu was still speechless, not even saying a word, looking at Qing Ruo respectfully.
" Brother Ruo," Hua Zhen said.
" Oh, I almost forgot" he said, explaining the plans of those who would seek scarce resources in the Northern border desert.
" Bai brother, me and Hua Zhen's brother, together with elder Hua Zun and elder Hua Thong, are going to the desert, looking for the resources that the Yin clan is looking for," said Qing Ruo.
" Alright, I'm coming. What about brother Rong and brother Jianyu?" heian Bai asked excitedly.
" I'm coming" replied Dalu Rong.
" Young ruler, servants also come," Murong Jianyu said.
" Brother Jianyu, call me Qing Ruo." Qing Ruo said kindly.
" Young Ruler, the servant is a Murong, a servant of Shen Shandian Luo. How can a servant call you by the word brother, which implies we are equal. Young ruler, servant knows the limits of servant, and the rules of the ancestors have been written about it.."
Qing Ruo and everyone else who was in the place fell silent again.
" Luo's servant clan, it's always been like this." Qing Ruo was inward, recalling the attitude of Hu Shan and the others who had always refused to be summoned with souara.
" Alright, but you are still my brother," Qing Ruo said making Murong Jianyu only able to nod his head.
" all right. Brother Ruo, please explain" Heian Bai said, asking Qing Ruo to explain their plan.
" Brother Heian Bai, there are no other plans, as we will directly conduct a search towards the desert."
" But brother, the desert region is within the control of the golden robe army..."
" I know, haven't we benefited before?"
" What do you mean by brother Ruo?" dalu Rong asked in confusion.
" Brother Rong, we can take advantage of the appearance of the Yin Clan forces we faced earlier to distract the golden robe troops guarding the desert region."
" What do you mean by brother Ruo?" ask Heian Bai.
" I want you to tell them to chase after that Yin clan disciple that we just faced, thus, our movements in the desert region will be more free."
Suddenly Dalu Rong and Heian Bai looked at each other, then looked towards Qing Ruo excitedly. The way Qing Ruo addressed the problem and made use of the situation actually made them return in a war atmosphere on the land of eternal void.
" Alright," Heian Bai replied as he took out a green-colored jade badge, informing the golden robe army that happened to be in the northern ice forest, to hunt down the Yin Clan army they had faced before.
After talking about their plan, Qing Ruo then led the party towards the Northern border desert.
" Swhuss.. swhus.." They darted out of the place at high speed.

Somewhere else.
Huo Mingzhi and his moving entourage inspected the desert region, finally stopping their work, taking a break before returning to work.
" Brother Thou Thou, until now I still do not know what objects the ruler wants to look for." said Huo Zhaodau.
" I don't know either, but according to the ruler, that thing is something very valuable" Thou Thou replied.
" Brother Zhoudu, what about your search?" Huo Mingzhi asked.
" I didn't even find anything." Huo Zhaodau replied while restoring his strength.
" But throughout our search, was it true that you didn't find or sense any aura?" ask Thou Thou.
" There was, ever once. One hundred and fifty kilometers west of this place, but I'm not sure, because the aura it emits is very small and weak" Huo Mingzhi replied.
Suddenly Thou Thou stood up.
" Sister, what's wrong?" huo Mingzhi asked in astonishment.
" I'm sure it's something the ruler is looking for. Do you know what kind of aura is being emitted?"
" Dark aura. Brother Thou Thou, please explain." said Huo Zhaodau curiously.
" Brother Zhoudau, Mingzhi, something precious, must be in a hidden place. Moreover, it must have been sealed away from being known by many."
" Brother Thou Thou is right. Means that weak aura is a small seepage of the actual aura" Huo Mingzhi said.
" Brother, we should go to that place immediately, and make sure" Thou Thou said.
" Alright," Huo Mingzhi replied then carried the party moving towards where he had sensed the presence of the dark aura earlier.

Somewhere else.
After moving at an extreme speed the entire time, five hours later, they finally arrived in the Northern desert.
" We should rest for a while," said Qing Ruo carrying a group of stops in the area of giant rocks.
" good. I think this place is quite safe" Heian Bai said, landing with his entourage.
At that place, they chatted casually while talking about their plans.
" The east direction of this place is the fortress of defense of the golden robe army. So I guess the thing we're looking for, is most likely somewhere else" Heian Bai said.
" I think so, too," Qing Ruo said.
But just as they were chatting, Qing Ruo suddenly got news from Huo Mingzhi, who said that they had found a suspicious place.
" Fifteen minutes left we move," Qing Ruo said.
" Good...."
****
The western desert.
Among the giant stone rubble scattered. Huo Zhaudao and Huo Mingzhi, continued to move about sealing the entire area of the place with an illusionary formation spell, disguising the existence of the aura appearing in that place. While Thou Thou who had confirmed that the place was storing something very rare, with his entourage moving made a diversionary aura elsewhere.
after finishing sealing the place with an illusionary formation spell, Huo Mingzhi and Huo Zhaodau then rested in front of a stone larger than the rest of the stone, and stood guard.
" Brother Zhoudu, are you sure that below where we are this is a resource sought by the ruler?" asked Huo Mingzhi.
" Sister, I can't confirm it either, but according to brother Thou Thou's examination, this huge stone is the entrance to that place, but I didn't find any other oddities. Have you reported this to the ruler?" ask Huo Zhaodau.
" Already, I've even sent you a report in detail."
" Is there a response?" queried. Huo Zhaudao.
" The current ruler and his entourage are resting in the border region," Huo Mingzhi replied.
" Couple?"
" right. But I don't know. Whether it's another brother or a new man who is deliberately the Ruler of recruits."
While they were talking, Thou Thou and his entourage returned, and joined them in guarding the place.

Somewhere else.
Fifteen minutes have passed. Qing Ruo and his entourage then moved on their way.
" Brother," Heian Bai said curiously, as he saw Qing Ruo carrying them moving westward.
" We'd better start checking in the west first."
" Good.." Heian Bai said excitedly, as he continued to move.
On Heian Bai's side, Murong Jianyu who continued to move following the group was speechless with his thoughts.
" I never doubted the young ruler Qing Ruo of the Luo clan, but wasn't the great ruler Luo Feng and Luo Jian gone. Teacher never even said that..." His inner being looked at Qing Ruo curiously.
At the moment when it was moving, Qing Ruo suddenly stopped their movement.
" Brother Ruo, what's wrong?" ask Hua Zhen.
" There is movement ahead of us..." While making an illusion shield and hiding in it.
Five minutes later, a large army moved past the place.
" General Lei Di," said Qing Ruo.
" Right, it looks like they're watching this place." said Dalu Rong.
" Brother, what should we do?" Ask Heian Bai.
" Just leave it. We may avoid them, for they must suspect us..."
" What do you mean by Brother Ruo?" Dalu Rong asked in surprise.
" Because the leaders of the Yin clan were wearing silver masks. If they take off their masks, is there a difference between us and them?"
Heian Bai nodded his head.
" I got it. Besides, General Lei Di also knows the two of us. Our actions that do not participate in the main army will be their suspicions ."
" Right," Qing Ruo said
