Chapter 633
After that, Gu Ruoyun began to pack her things . In the middle of packing, her hand stopped as she noticed the black box which had been gifted to her by Mei Xue .
"I can feel an aura stirring within this box but I still have not been able to open it . Perhaps I don't know how to unlock it?" She frowned and sighed, "Forget it . I'll bring it along . I'll find a way to crack it open someday . "
She threw the box into the Ancient Divine Pagoda then wrapped up her belongings and pushed the room's door open .
A familiar face greeted her outside the door, causing Gu Ruoyun to pause her footsteps .
"You're leaving?" Murong Yan gently bit her lips and asked softly .
Gu Ruoyun nodded, "I've lingered here for far too long and now that I've gotten the information I needed, it's time for me to leave this place . "
"Then . . . Will you come back?"
"Yes . "
Gu Ruoyun replied without hesitation .
If possible, she really wanted to take these forces out of the Banished Lands . However, she could not expose her final trump card in front of the others . Therefore, she had no other way to take them with her .
"Murong Yan, there are all sorts of plants in the governor's palace's courtyard that you can use to scare off other forces . They will also draw unwanted attention from some of them . So, I've placed a formation in the governor's palace . If something were to happen to Black Rock City, you can hide the citizens there . This way, you won't have to worry about an invasion from foreign powers . "
This formation had been given to her by Zixie back in Azure Dragon Country long ago . Now, she finally had a use for it .
Without this formation, she would never feel easy with showing off those valuable plants for all to see .
"Understood . " Murong Yan nodded and a complex look flashed across her eyes, "We will await your return here . As long as you are absent, the governor's position will remain empty . "
Gu Ruoyun smiled but didn't say anything else . She excused herself from Murong Yan and kept moving forward without looking back . She raised her hand and waved goodbye, followed by a light and airy voice that solidified a final image in Murong Yan's eyes .
"Say goodbye to your grandfather and Lu Shaochen for me! I'll take my leave now . Once I've finished my task, I'll come back and visit you all . "
Murong Yan gazed at the woman as she left . She felt tears forming in her eyes but she stubbornly forced them down .
She believed that one day, this woman will come back to them .
Be it a few years or over ten years, they would wait for her to return to Black Rock City . . .
If she forgot about them, they would continue to wait for her forever .
. . .
In all of the Plain Hills, the most mysterious city of all was the legendary Holy City .
It was said that every family in the Holy City contains at least a few Martial Honors and a single family could easily annihilate any of the other cities . As such, this has cemented the position of the Holy City in people's hearts .
Still, everyone knows that the ones who held the leadership position in the Holy City were the legendary Ye family!
The Ye family was indeed legendary, especially Ye Lan . To this very day, no one knows his true rank! Perhaps he had even surpassed the rank of a Martial Honor! The Ye family had been able to cement their position as the most powerful family in the Banished Lands because of him .
However, aside from a few elders in the Ye family, not many have actually seen Ye Lan in person . He does not usually show himself in public and until now, not even the citizens of Holy City knew what he looked like .
