1347: C1347

C1347

The three of them had all sustained varying degrees of injuries on the ground, but they were all experts after all. After recovering from their injuries, they stood up. From the looks of their shocked expressions, they didn't understand how they had been beaten to such a state.

Hua Ruge put away the beating stick on the back of his head and asked the young man: "You still don't want to talk?"

It was clear that the three of them weren't easy to deal with. No one would benefit from a stalemate.

A trace of hesitation appeared on the indifferent face of the young man, but it quickly disappeared. He slowly said, "Sure, we won't do anything to you. We won't get into trouble."

"Senior is wise." Hua Ruge complimented as he kept the Sky City with a flip of his hand.

The three of them vigilantly returned to the side of the young man and said, "Boss, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Disgraceful." With that, the young man flew to the surface of the lake to look at the sealing formation.

After all, they had all lived for hundreds of years, and today, they were defeated by a few kids. They truly had no face left.

Hua Ruge and the other two retreated back to the bamboo house, as per what they had said earlier, they did not interfere with those people.

Tuoba Rui sat down and changed the water, brewing the tea and handing it to the two.

"I keep having the feeling that these people are not ordinary people. They won't be able to tell anything from me, right?" Hua Ruge held his teacup and said softly.

"If you can see it, so be it." The Young Master Wu Hen said indifferently: "Anyway, it's very difficult for us to stop them. Even if we use all our trump cards to stop them, we will have to give way next time."

Hua Ruge nodded, "That's true."

"Also, according to the words of the senior that told me, the one trapped below is no ordinary Fierce Beast. Almost no one can break open this seal, and even if they truly meet with great danger, the people of this world would not ignore it." Young Master Wu Hen's words were sent to the two of them through sound transmission.

Hua Ruge now understood that the matter of protecting the fierce beasts was of utmost importance and he was not the only one who was carrying the burden.

The young man looked at the seal carefully and frowned. He kept mumbling to himself; it seemed like he was calculating something.

A moment later, he stood up and looked in the bamboo house's direction again. "I forgot to ask, who are you people?"

"Even if you guys didn't find out, I'm too lazy to tell you. See you later." Hua Ruge replied easily.

"See you later." After saying that, the young man turned around and left with his four subordinates.

"I've already restrained myself quite a bit. This can't be considered to be forming an enmity, right?" Hua Ruge turned and asked the two of them.

Tuoba Rui nodded his head: "No, but they might want to recruit us as their disciples even more."

"It's also wrong to be too outstanding." Hua Ruge shrugged helplessly.

"Let's wait and see." Young Master Wu Hen said indifferently.

In the following few days, the battle at the outer perimeter continued. Many of the people who came to search for treasures and the Immortal Beast that were angered all died, but none of them appeared to be at peace.

The seal was getting redder and redder, and the fiendish aura it emitted became heavier and heavier. Young Master Wu Hen's method of strengthening the array could only keep it quiet for half a day, and after that it was still the same.

As Hua Ruge stayed at the side of the formation, she could clearly feel that her hostility was getting heavier and heavier, and that Pingbai was ready to kill her. Fortunately, her soul force was extremely strong, and could still suppress the baleful aura.

The outside world was still in constant fighting. In recent days, even those terrifying vicious beasts from deep within the snow-capped mountains had come to the Snow Pine Forest. Moreover, they were not only fighting with humans, but also fighting with each other.

What was even more strange was that the humans that came in started to fight as well, as if they had lost all rationality.

Upon seeing this, the few of them finally discovered that something was amiss. Then, they all turned their gazes towards the lake in the center. The great formation on the lake was emitting a strong murderous aura.

"For the past few days, I have been feeling uneasy and my hostility was too strong. I had to train every day to suppress it, but what about you?" Young Master Wu Hen was the first to ask.

Tuoba Rui nodded his head, "I have one too, but I didn't pay too much attention to it."2

The two of them looked at Hua Ruge at the same time. Finally, Hua Ruge said in a daze, "I thought that the reason why I'm in this situation is because of the baleful aura within my soul. I didn't think too much about it."

Young Master Wu Hen frowned, "It seems like that beast is causing trouble. A part of its power leaked out of the formation and is currently disrupting people's hearts, causing them to fight with each other."

"Immortal Beast are easily affected, and those people outside who are full of greed are also not hard to control." Hua Ruge concluded, then said: "But what benefits does it have?"

Tuoba Rui squinted: "Could this have something to do with the bronze pillar you just picked up?"

"That pillar can draw power down to the bottom. Could it be that it can transmit the fighting strength down there to the bottom so that the fierce beasts can break through the seal?" Hua Ruge told her what he thought.

Young Master Wu Hen's expression was solemn. "No wonder I couldn't suppress it no matter what."

"Presumably, there's more than one of those bronze pillars, or perhaps there might be many of them." Tuoba Rui said again.

"In that case, as long as we find these pillars and dig them out, the fierce beast would lose its strength, and wouldn't be able to create waves." Hua Ruge's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's possible like this, but this pillar has the support of an array formation. It can avoid detection by spiritual will, and it won't be easy to find it." Young Master Wu Hen concluded.

Instead, he laughed and said: "You guys forgot, I told you guys that I know who buried this pillar, we can just find someone to ask."

Only then did the two of them understand.

Just as Hua Ruge was about to plan his next move, she suddenly sensed that someone was approaching the Snow Pine Forest.

Tuoba Rui and the Young Master Wu Hen also sensed it, so they did not say anything and waited for these people to come.

Hua Ruge raised his brows, and said: "Since you've come, then there's no need to hide anymore, just reveal yourself and reminisce about the past."

The people in the dark were obviously shocked, but they quickly reacted and quickly rushed over, appearing within the Snow Pine Forest.

"Patriarch Hua, I heard you were here and I had my suspicions, but now it seems that a young hero has appeared." One of them looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a benevolent look, he was Hua Ruge's old acquaintance, Patriarch Tian.

"It's been a while. How have Patriarch Tian and Young Master Tian been?" Hua Ruge greeted with a smile.

Tian Sheng lightly nodded from the side, while Patriarch Tian said with a gentle expression: "Many thanks, Patriarch Hua. May I ask what Patriarch Hua is here for?"

"I'll do whatever you do." Hua Ruge played Taiji and kicked the ball back.

"It seems like Patriarch Hua doesn't know what we're here for." Patriarch Tian laughed as he stroked his beard, looking like he was completely in control of it.
