"Is that all?" Battle Left asked.
City Lord Zhao nodded and said, "I have no ambition. I just want to live a peaceful life. I hope that everyone can fulfill my wish."
Elder Chen was the first to reply. "If that's the case, then we agree. We won't fight in the future."
Battle Left followed suit.
Zhao Tianchou was happy to hear it, "I got this stone from digging into a mountain, there are seven to eight hundred of them, I will call my people to move it all here."
Lingyun said from the side: "This City Lord is really interesting."
"Disseminate the wealth and get rid of the disasters, smart people." Hua Ruge said as he drank the wine in his cup.
Ling Yun advised her to drink less, alcohol was, after all, not a good thing, Hua Ruge felt that he should not let her down for her good intentions, and so he stopped drinking.
After taking these seven to eight hundred crystals, the Celestial Sect and the other gangs were divided equally. In the end, the Celestial Sect was given a piece each, and the other gangs had a portion above Great Immortal Stage.
After the discussion with Elder Chen and everyone else, they decided to go to the Primordial Mountain early in the morning to wait for an opportunity. After all, no one knew when the mountain essence would be born, so it was better to go there early.
At night, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Hua Ruge looked at the stone in her hands, and could vaguely feel a trace of energy flowing inside.
That night, when the moon was high in the sky, the mountain outside the city suddenly glowed with a red light. It was different from the last time where it only lasted for a split-second.
As a result, everyone flew up into the air. The rooftops and the city walls were being explored.
Hua Ruge was also woken up by the noise, the moment she woke up, she was immediately notified by Hao Shou, it was Elder Chen who decided to go to the Primordial Mountain that night.
She put on her clothes and went out to see the gang disciples rushing out of the city.
The immortal gates also began to gather as they prepared to leave.
Yuxu Sect began to gather as well, however, even though Hua Ruge was the last to arrive, Ling Yun still had not arrived yet.
"Go get them." Kong Xiu sent a disciple over, but after a while, the disciple returned and said that Ling Yun was not in the room.
Kong Xiu frowned and asked everyone: "Did you see him tonight?"
"When I went back to my room, I saw Senior Brother Ling Yun going back to his room." Hao Shou said.
Kong Xiu thought for a moment, then said: "Then did you all see him coming out from the Primordial Mountain just now?"
The disciples that came out recalled the scene and all shook their heads to say that they didn't notice.
"Then think about it. Did she say where she was going?" Kong Xiu asked again, looking a little anxious.
Everyone still shook their heads.
Hua Ruge's hazy mind had completely cleared up. She said: "Let's go to Senior Brother Ling Yun's room."
Hua Ruge walked in front and lightly pushed open the door that was pushed open by the disciple.
She turned her head and saw the broken bolt on the door. She turned to the disciple and asked, "Did you push it?"
It was obvious that the door was bolted shut, and someone had used some external force to deduce this.
The disciple nodded: "I called Senior Brother Ling Yun a few times. Senior Brother did not reply, so I pushed open the door."
"Is the bolt good when you push?" Hua Ruge asked again.
"Yes."
Hua Ruge frowned and walked to the open window again. He found that the window had been opened from the inside and there were no traces of damage whatsoever.
The candle on the table had already been extinguished. It was unknown if it was blown away by the wind or what it was like.
"Seems like Senior Brother Ling Yun went out. Where else can he go?" A disciple said.
"He should have left when the Primeval Mountain was glowing. It can't be that he went up the mountain first, right?" Another disciple said.
Kong Xiu shook his head. "Junior Brother Ling Yun would definitely not be that rash.
Hua Ruge waved his hands to close the window, took out the Illuminating Pearl and placed it on the table. He looked at the candle on the table, it seemed to be new and had not been burning for long.
"Help me call the waiter over." Hua Ruge said.
Hao Shou called out, Hua Ruge asked: "Do you remember when you changed this candle?"
"It was changed this morning when I was cleaning the room. Not just this room. All the rooms have been changed." The waiter directly replied.
Hua Ruge nodded his head, and said to the Yuxu Sect disciple: "Who has the candle in their room that has yet to be extinguished?"
"Mine." Ye Wanrou stood out and said: "I'm afraid of the dark when I sleep, I don't blow candles at night."
"Then let me take a look."
Ye Wanrou quickly returned to his room and brought her back with him.
Hua Ruge put the two sections of the candle together and realized that Ling Yun's candle was half done. Hua Ruge's gaze swept across Ling Yun's bed and frowned slightly.
Everyone looked at the candles, deep in thought.
"Ru Ge, tell me your thoughts." Kong Xiu asked.
Hua Ruge thought for a while and said: "Everyone also saw that the candle that was lit overnight was already one-third burnt, and Senior Brother Ling Yun did not even burn half of it. This means that the candle was extinguished not long after it was lit."
"What does that mean?" Luo Qingqing could not help but come and beat others when they held Hua Ruge up the most.
"It means that Senior Brother Lingyun went out right after entering the night. After opening the window, the candle was blown out by the wind, not waiting until the mountain was bright enough to leave." Hua Ruge said bluntly.
"That could be sleeping." Luo Qingqing said again.
"There are only the marks of meditation and cultivation on the bed. There are no marks of lying down, so I can see very clearly." Hua Ruge replied.
Everyone felt that this made sense.
"Then where will Junior Brother Ling Yun go?" Kong Xiu said.
Hua Ruge shook his head. "There is nothing left in the room.
Kong Xiu frowned, he was also troubled for a moment.
Hua Ruge looked at the perfectly fine window and couldn't think of anything he could be doing in the middle of the night.
In the end, Kong Xiu said. "Junior Brother Ling Yun actually went out on his own, there shouldn't be anything wrong, let's go first and leave behind the note. When he returns, he'll naturally come looking for us."
Everyone nodded, and Hua Ruge did not express any objections.
When they went out of the city together, they realized that only their Yuxu Sect s had not left. Hua Ruge reckoned that most of the other immortal gates were fine.
Lingyun was only an example, the probability of something happening was very low, it was very possible that he went to investigate some information.2
The second day, Yan Du.
After many days of not obtaining any points, Hua Ruge's thirty thousand points had already dropped from first place to fifth place. The first three places were Tuoba Rui, who had eighty thousand points, Jun Tianxia, and Little Marten, who had more than seventy thousand points. The fourth was the genius of the other Superior Sect, Zhi Xian. His name was Lei Zi, and he had over forty thousand points.
In the later stages of the competition, everyone's points had increased by leaps and bounds, and only Hua Ruge remained motionless, her points not even increasing at all. If not for her name still shining brightly in the sky, everyone would have thought that she was dead.
The people who betted on spirit stones at the gambling house were the most active, and many of them betted on Hua Ruge, but they were all regretting their decision now. More and more people were wondering if Hua Ruge had gotten the points previously because of luck.
After Shui Yunxuan received the latest news, he frowned, because that disciple said that Ling Yun's name had gone dark.
Although various sects would die every day, this was still the first time something bad had happened to their Yuxu Sect, and this caused Shui Yunxuan to start feeling uneasy.
