"You better tell me the truth when I ask you that question. Otherwise, I won't care who you are when I kill people." Tuoba Rui said coldly.
Luo Yi's entire body shivered, he did not believe what others had said, but Tuoba Rui did not dare believe it.
"Young master, since you said it like that, we don't dare to mess around with you." Luo Yi hurriedly said.
Tuoba Rui fixed her deep eyes on him, waiting for him to continue.
"You also know that the matter regarding the ring is of great importance, we cannot make the decision. Please let us go back first, we will report to the grand master and he will give you an answer." Luo Yi said again.
The moment Tuoba Rui appeared, he knew that the plan that was delaying him would not work. To him, the most important thing right now was to quickly run away.
If he continued to play the smart game, it was hard to say if he would be able to keep his head.
"You want to leave without giving me an explanation?" Tuoba Rui's voice rose up, revealing his killing intent.
Luo Yi muttered in his heart: "Young Master, we really can't make decisions for this matter."
"Since we can't make the decision, what are you all here for? To stall for time? " Tuoba Rui's every sentence was extremely dangerous.
Luo Yi's back was drenched in cold sweat. He felt that the pressure on Tuoba Rui's body was just too great.
Tang Lin was below, and he did not know what to say. He was not good with words, and now that he had met Tuoba Rui, how could he dare to speak?
Even more so, Hua Ruge would not speak at this time. Even if Tuoba Rui did not recognize her, if he spoke more, he would have instantly turned her into dregs.
In the end, Luo Yi braced himself and said, "That's not true. It's just that we don't want to see each other, let's see if we can take a step back."
"I have never stepped back in my life. As for you two, since you've come, don't leave." Tuoba Rui continued in a cold voice:
"Send someone back to inform those who can make decisions. Ask them if they want to return my ring or if they want to meet with me again."
Luo Yi's face changed, was he trying to capture them?
"Come here and let me see if you guys have the ability to do so." As Tuoba Rui said this, he stood up and walked past the three of them, bringing about a burst of chilling wind.
Hua Ruge watched as he walked past, and the disappointment in his heart couldn't help but grow.
At this moment, the maidservant walked in once again. She then spoke to the three of them, "Everyone, come with me."
Luo Yi and Tang Lin both frowned. They naturally knew that they would be stopped if they followed the maid.
But since this place was controlled by three great forces, it was impossible for them to escape with just the strength of the three of them.
Helpless, Luo Yi could only nod his head.
Facing Tuoba Rui, they had no way to resist.
The three of them went back to their previous residence, and together with Elder Tian Xing, they went back to the meeting room.
There were quite a few guards in the mansion, and although they didn't restrict their movements, they were only monitoring their movements.
The few of them had just reached the Meeting Room, where Luo Yi was already pacing non-stop and saying:
"Tuoba Rui is actually so ruthless, are you really not afraid of being accused of instigating a great devil battle?"
"When did he fear words?" This time, it was Hua Ruge who spoke.
None of them thought that it was strange, because they knew that Tuoba Rui was such a person.
"Right now, it's impossible for us to meet head-on. We can only send someone to pass on the message and see how the sect will handle this situation." Tang Lin said.
Luo Yi nodded helplessly, "I have already sent people back, I hope the sect can think of a way."
"We can't hold the sect back. If the sect sends a message that we're going to fight, then I'll be the first one to charge in. It'll be enough to just kill one of them." Old Man Tianxing said from the side.
The other three didn't say a word. This old guy was just missing a string.
After saying a few insignificant words, the few of them went back to their respective rooms.
Hua Ruge's objective had basically been achieved, if the Demon Gate couldn't drag on any longer, she wouldn't be able to open the vein. All she needed to do was to snatch the ring back first.
However, she was not in a good mood, and from beginning to end, she was somewhat depressed that Tuoba Rui did not recognize her.
Although she knew that her appearance had completely changed, and even more so unable to see through the Shape-Changing Pill's power with Tuoba Rui's cultivation, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
When she returned to her room, she patted her head in frustration: "Hua Ruge, oh Hua Ruge, when did you become so hypocritical?"
Even after she finished speaking, she was still unable to get up from the bed and all she could think about were Tuoba Rui's figures.
She felt that it was time to divert her attention, so she pushed open the door and said, "Someone, come and cook something for me."
The servants looked at her and ignored her. After all, she was a prisoner, so it would be strange if she was served.
"Alright, I'll remember you two." Hua Ruge said angrily before closing the door and continuing to sulk.
On the other side, Tuoba Rui returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing Black Panther waiting at the entrance to the study, he said, "Come in."
He sat behind the desk and took the tea Xiao Xuan had brought up, and started sipping it carefully.
Black Panther knew that Tuoba Rui was anxious to hear the news, so he said, "My prince, this subordinate has already sent a message to the fishing village to have all of the spies investigate from the start, not sparing a single trace."
"Also, this subordinate has informed Miss Hong Xiu, who was in the Swallow Spring Pavilion ?"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Tuoba Rui had already interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Take back your orders."
Black Panther froze for a moment. After a long while, he asked, "You're not going to look for it anymore?"
"I'm not looking for him anymore." Tuoba Rui leaned on the chair, his expression calm.

"My prince, aren't you worried about the princess?" Black Panther was greatly puzzled.
His master was so anxious yesterday. Why did it seem like nothing had happened?
"Don't worry about it. Go and ask Elder Mu for a pill for me." Tuoba Rui's voice was still calm.
Black Panther had a puzzled expression, but if Tuoba Rui didn't say it, he wouldn't pursue the matter, so he could only go and ask.
In the room, Tuoba Rui held onto the teacup Hua Ruge had used before, a smile leaking out of his eyes.
Xiao Xuan who was serving the tea at the side was also surprised, his Young Master had not laughed for a long time.
Inside the room, Young Master Wu Hen was meditating as Cang Zhu knocked on the door.
Young Master Wu Hen kept the spiritual energy into his dantian and said: "Come in."
Cang Zhu entered the door, bowed and said, "Reporting to His Highness God Child, Young Master Tuoba has returned from the negotiation."
"What was the result?" Young Master Wu Hen opened his eyes and asked indifferently.
"He placed those people under house arrest and waited for the devil sect to give a statement before dealing with them." Cang Zhu said.
A trace of doubt flashed through Young Master Wu Hen's eyes. "He didn't kill anyone?"
"Not really."
"When did he need an explanation?" Young Master Wu Hen raised his eyebrows: "This matter is suspicious."
"Should I go down and ask?" Blue Bamboo asked for instructions.
"No need. Tell me about the people that the devil sect sent to negotiate with me." Young Master Wu Hen said calmly.
