After the two of them walked out of the stone room, Li Shang stood up and bowed to one of them and said, "I didn't think that this matter would actually alarm the Grand Elder."
Hua Ruge raised his head and saw that the man was dressed in a white robe, he looked to be around twenty years of age, but from his old and sharp eyes, it was clear that he was actually quite old.
Someone who could restore his appearance to his current state was definitely a powerful figure.
"I'm just listening on the side with nothing else to do. Sect Head can just pretend that I'm not here." As he spoke, he sat down on the seat of honor.
Another black-robed Soul Master who was in his fifties walked forward and first bowed to the white clothed man. Then, he asked, "Sect Master, did you really open the Sky City?"
"He did open it, but I'm not sure about the specifics. Junior, take a seat too. Let's go ask this kid." As Li Shang spoke, his gaze once again locked onto Hua Ruge's body.
After the three of them sat down, Hua Ruge's face was still filled with fear. He did not look at anyone, nor did he speak.
The one who was called Junior Brother was Profound Yin Sect's Second Elder Luo Yi. He looked at Hua Ruge and said: "This person is not small, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find out anything from him."
Li Shang frowned, with a wave of his hand, he cut off the handcuffs on Hua Ruge's body, and then patiently asked: What is your name?
Hua Ruge was still holding onto her arms and not saying a word, her heart was also anxious, even if she pretended to be crazy, these people did not know how to treat her, so it would not be too casual if they were to start now.
Just as she was thinking this, she felt a power that could heal her soul assaulted her. She felt a sense of relief, and her eyes unconsciously cleared up a bit.
She raised her head only to see that the white robed Supreme Elder had withdrawn his hand and was looking at her. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see into her soul.
At this moment, Hua Ruge actually had a feeling that she was nowhere to be found, but how quick and nimble was her thought process?
She took advantage of the moment when her eyes had yet to regain their clarity to calm her mind. When she looked him in the eye again, she shrank back in fear and no longer met his gaze.
This was a response that a normal person should have in the face of such a situation.
As expected, the white-robed man retracted his gaze and did not say anything.
"I... "Where am I?" Without waiting for others to speak, she took the initiative to speak, her eyes filled with apprehension and confusion.
"This is the sect master of the Profound Yin Sect, you don't have to be afraid, just answer whatever question we ask." Luo Yi spoke first.
Out of the three people sitting at the head of the group, he was the only one who looked friendly.
Hua Ruge immediately stood up from the ground and bowed, "This lowly one's Brahmin greets Sect Master."
"So you're from Brahmin. Tell me how did you get there, and what happened afterwards?" Li Shang asked.
Hua Ruge seemed to recall something. After which, fear once again appeared in his eyes. I was following Elder Xuan Yuan. "
"Xuan Yuan?" Li Shang raised his eyebrows in puzzlement, and then said: "Tell me the whole story."
"Yes." Hua Ruge replied, "I was originally an alchemist's apprentice at Brahmin. Today, I accompanied Master Alchemist to participate in the competition, and when I left, I saw Master Xuan Yuan drop an iron tablet."
"Seeing that, I recognized that the metal plate was once my family inheritance, Master Xuan Yuan had grabbed me and asked about the use of the plate,
I once heard from my ancestors that this is the key to open a Sky City, but only a fated person would be able to do so. "
Li Shang found it difficult to hide his shock after hearing this. "You said that Sky City has a key?"
"This little one only vaguely remembers that after that, Master Xuan Yuan took me to that whatever Sky City and used the smoke to faint the guards and the order badge to try to open the door." Hua Ruge continued.
The few of them listened in silence.
"Lord Xuan Yuan did not open the door. I went up to give it a push, but I did not expect the door to open just like that."
"As soon as we entered, the guards were woken up by us, they also rushed into the city and started fighting with Master Xuan Yuan, they started fighting with each other." Hua Ruge said seriously.0
Li Shang was serious when he heard her, and immediately urged: "Continue talking, what happened to the rest of them?"
"Later ?" "Later ?" Hua Ruge's face revealed a terrified expression. After a while, he said:
"Later on, strange patterns appeared on the ground, and the patterns emitted bloody light. It killed all of them, and when the bloody light dissipated, they were all gone and eaten by that city."
Hua Ruge said with a panicked face, as if he had returned to that time.
Hearing this, the three people were somewhat puzzled.
Among them, Luo Yi said: "Legend has it that the Sky City was extremely vicious, could it be that there is a formation to kill inside?"
"Then why are you still alive?" The white-robed man turned to look at her again, his eyes sharp.
"I don't know. Those lights didn't hurt me." Hua Ruge replied honestly.
"I heard from the guard that you fainted in the middle of the Sky City, what happened?" Li Shang also asked.
"At that time, after they died, I was so scared that I was about to run away, but Master Xuan Yuan's metal plate rolled all the way to my feet.
This is something passed down in my family. Thus, I wanted to take it away, but the moment I touched that metal plate, it disappeared from my palm.
Hua Ruge said with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Li Shang stood up from the chair in shock and asked loudly: "You said that the order badge disappeared from your hand?"
"Yes, by the Sovereign, this lowly one does not dare to lie." Hua Ruge replied while trembling in fear.
Luo Yi had a face full of doubt, he didn't understand how the key to the Sky City could disappear.
"Grand Elder, what do you think is going on?" Li Shang asked the white robed man anxiously.
The man then continued, "According to her, the order badge was only used to find the fated person in the mortal world for the Sky City. Now that the order badge is gone, it's clear that the Sky City has a master."
"Master? It can't be this kid, right? " Luo Yi was shocked.
Li Shang also had a look of disbelief, he calmed his heart and asked:
"Before and after you fainted, did you feel any difference? For example, did you hear any sounds or words in your head?"
Hua Ruge thought for a long time before saying, "It seems like a voice said something."
"What is it?"
"What do you mean the Sky City no longer sleeps? There's one more sentence after that, but I can't remember anymore." Hua Ruge tried his best to recall.
Li Shang's face turned green, it was obvious that the Sky City had been taken care of by the brat in front of him.
Hua Ruge seemed to have realized something, his face was filled with fear, but this time, he was not afraid of the city, but the people in front of him.
She had a great treasure on her body, and an ordinary man's wealth was his own sin. If she wasn't a fool, she should feel some lingering fear.
