In the central hall of the palace, all the sect masters and elders were present, and some disciples were selected to state the truth. Hua Ruge and the others did not wait for others to pick them, and returned to the location of their own sect.

Without even thinking, one could tell that this conversation would be dominated by Shi Xuejun. Under these circumstances, no one dared to voice their suspicions, and could only state what had happened.

They didn't want to be the first one to act. If they did, they might be bitten back and accused of slander.

Hua Ruge and Tuoba Rui split up and walked together with Hao Shou. At this time, the layer of window paper between the two of them had already been punctured, and although they were still interacting with each other like never before, outsiders could easily see their love from their expressions, and it couldn't be more obvious.

This time, Hao Shou was injured to the point that he was thinner, the outline of his face became clearer, although he was still fat, but he was still able to look much better than before.

"Ru Ge, I still haven't thanked you properly. It's all thanks to you saving me." Hao Shou said.

Hua Ruge laughed: "With our relationship, why are you thanking me? Just treat me to some delicious food."

"No problem, it's all on me now." Hao Shou patted his chest and said.

The three of them spoke out as they arrived at Shui Yunxuan's courtyard and waited with the others for Shui Yunxuan to return.

After an hour, Shui Yunxuan finally returned with Kong Xiu. His face was covered with a veil and his expression could not be seen clearly, but from the way he acted, it seemed like he was angry.

Presumably, she heard what Kong Xiu had said on the way back that she didn't say in the palace.

Seeing the remaining disciples, Shui Yunxuan comforted them and told them to go back and rest.

"Ru Ge, follow me in." Shui Yunxuan said before he entered his room.

Hua Ruge nodded and followed him in.

"Kong Xiu told me that this might be a trap set up by the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, so I think you should know more about it than him." As Hua Ruge's elder, she still understood Hua Ruge very well.

Looking at the Shui Yunxuan who had taken off his veil, Hua Ruge said, "Senior Brother is right, I have indeed grasped a little more."

After that, she started to recount everything she saw underground. Actually, after she recounted it, anyone could tell that it was done by the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace in order to concoct pills.

However, after the formation was destroyed, the underground sects and undeads also disappeared. Now that there was nothing left, no one would believe it.

"Are you saying that those people underground became neither human nor ghost without any resistance?" Shui Yunxuan asked.

Hua Ruge nodded.

"There is still something strange about this. According to what you said, the underground is a big sect. What kind of expert would be able to sacrifice everyone in one move?" Shui Yunxuan was suspicious.

"I'm also thinking about this. The Heaven Seeking Pill Palace is so powerful, who knows, maybe there's someone with such immense power here?" Hua Ruge said.

"That won't happen. Our territory is the same as yours, and it has its limits. People who are too strong won't be able to enter." Shui Yunxuan passed him to her.

"Are you saying that the strength of those people who sacrificed the great sects is beyond the acceptable range of this territory?"

Shui Yunxuan nodded: "That's for sure. The great world has Five Territories, and this is only the weakest of them all."

"It means that the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace has a backer in other powerful territories?" Hua Ruge thought.

"It's not impossible."

"It's really troublesome." Hua Ruge touched his chin.

"Do you have any information about that underground sect? We need to first determine what kind of sect it is before we know how strong the person who attacked us is."

"Shui Yunxuan asked.

Hua Ruge shook her head. She remembered now, when she passed the Compendium Pavilion, she realized that all of the cultivation techniques had been swept away by the three people.1

"I've collected a lot of ancient books in the Compendium Pavilion. I wonder if there are any records about them." Hua Ruge said.

"Let me see."

Hua Ruge nodded, the storage ring touched Shui Yunxuan's body, and in a flash, the light entered her space.

"Reading books really isn't my specialty. Sorry for troubling you, Aunt." Hua Ruge laughed.

When Shui Yunxuan saw that there was an extra pile of books in the space, he almost fainted. There were simply too many of them.

"You child." She was helpless against Hua Ruge.

Hua Ruge smiled mischievously: "Then I'll be leaving first. Aunt, thank you for your hard work."

"Don't act rashly until you know the truth." Shui Yunxuan instructed her, she knew Hua Ruge's character, he was too restless.

"Aunt, don't worry. I will be careful." Hua Ruge said as he left.

When she returned to her own palace, Tuoba Rui was already there. She finally got back to find a good environment, and he was making tea in the courtyard.

"You told the sect?" Hua Ruge asked.

Tuoba Rui nodded, "Master wants me to wait and see. When I have a good chance, I will take the initiative."

His Limitless Sword Sect was only at the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, so if he were to fight, his strength would not be too far off.

"Your Master is so easy to talk to?" Hua Ruge was curious.

"No one wants to be under pressure forever, neither do we." In fact, he already knew that Limitless Sword Sect would attack the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, all he lacked was an opportunity.

"That's true, but I think it would be better for us to consider this matter over long term." Hua Ruge said.

"Hmm?"

"Like I told you, my mother's family is not in this territory. So is my aunt. She is experienced and knowledgeable, so today she asked a question that we didn't think of before." Hua Ruge spoke out the names he heard one by one.

Tuoba Rui remained unperturbed as he poured a cup of tea for Hua Ruge and passed it to him. "The possibility of this happening is very high, and the speed at which the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace is rising up is also very suspicious.

"Yeah." Hua Ruge nodded, then said: "This is getting more and more fun."

She was probably the only one who would think that.

"I'll think about it slowly and drink some tea." Tuoba Rui handed over another cup.

Hua Ruge was not as calm as him, drinking tea while thinking of a viable plan. She wanted to think of a flexible little mind, and on the same night, she already had a plan.

Thus, she recorded down all her thoughts and waited for it to perfect.

Tuoba Rui wasn't as good at this kind of thing as her, so he didn't participate in it as a whole process. He only gave her a few comments when she was discussing it with him, and his main responsibility was to supervise Hua Ruge to rest on time.

Although she was in good physical condition, her spirit was still unstable. It was impossible for her to maintain a high pressure for a long period of time.

Thus, at night, Hua Ruge had no choice but to put down his plans and crawl into bed.

In the next few days, the Yan Du became restless. Not only were there treasures of heaven and earth that were being auctioned, but more importantly, they were also in a dilemma over just why had such a huge change happened in the secret realm.
