After Zheng-Fu stroked Jin-Tian's head for a while, he ordered it to return to cultivating, including the mischievous Black Lotus, who liked to run between the Immortal Caves. But even if he said so, Black Lotus did not know anything except to run around.

After finishing the order, Zheng-Fu went outside to his room as before. At that moment, he could feel the aura of death along with the dark Qi energy outside the auction house before it disappeared and could no longer be touched.

"They're probably still in this town. Wait for me, let me finish my errands. Then I'll come back and take you all into the pots!" Zheng-Fu said with a stern look as he thought of those hidden identities. Zheng-Fu had to have had the time to find them, but now he could not. So, Zheng-Fu let it pass first, and when he finished his errands, he would come back and deal with it.

At the corner of a building...

"How is it possible? That kid suddenly appeared from the emptiness, as if he had gone somewhere, and then appeared again. But after he came out, he stared at us, as if we were hiding well. It was as if he knew of our existence," a purple-black shadow spoke up after it used the Ultimate Identity Erasure Technique to hide before disappearing.

And now the morning came...

Today, Bao-Jin's group woke up especially early since they were extremely worried about their clan and their master. So, they woke up very early in the morning and gathered their belongings to wait for Zheng-Fu in the hall.

"You guys wake up so early?" When Zheng-Fu washed his body and finished getting dressed, he immediately came out of the room and headed straight into the hall, speaking to Bao-Jin, who was sitting with a tense expression on his face.

"Yes, Young Master. We want to reach Blossom Meadow City as quickly as possible. We thought we needed to hurry, so when you come out, we can leave immediately, sir," Bao-Jin said with a serious look as he gazed at Zheng-Fu.

"Um… Then let's go. The distance from Capital City to Blossom Meadow City requires five days of the normal journey. But I've let Master Wang-Ke prepare the best Crossbred Monster Beast horses for us. So, it'll only take us two days to travel," Zheng-Fu said with a smile to ease the stressful atmosphere.

The Crossbred Monster Beast horse was a horse that had the blood of monster beasts mixed in it, so it was strong and could run much further and faster than ordinary horses. Even if it was not comparable to a Purebred Monster Beast horse, it could be used interchangeably because the Crossbred Monster Beast horse was easier to find than the Purebred Monster Beast horse.

It was also much easier to tame, so people preferred to use the Crossbred Monster Beast horse.

"Crossbred Monster Beast horse? Each of them costs tens of thousands of coins, you know?" a young man in Bao-Jin's group spoke up with a shocked expression.

"Yes, but money is not important. After all, it's just the Crossbred Monster Beast horses. Besides, if there's something Young Master Zheng-Fu wants, even if it's Purebred Monster Beast horses, I'll find it," suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice sounded as Wang-Ke's figure walked out.

"Respect, Master Wang-Ke!" Bao-Jin and the others immediately greeted Wang-Ke when they saw him walking in, except for Zheng-Fu, who only nodded.

"Thank you so much, Master Wang-Ke, for helping us supply the Crossbred Monster Beast horses," Zheng-Fu said thank you after nodding.

"A trivial matter, sir, Young Master Zheng-Fu. Consider it a gift from me," Wang-Ke replied with a polite smile.

"Then we'd like to leave first. See you again in In-See City," Zheng-Fu clasped his hands and bowed slightly, in the manner of a youth showing respect towards an adult.

"Yes, sir!"

After saying goodbye, Zheng-Fu immediately led Bao-Jin's group out of the capital of Blueland to head towards Blossom Meadow City, which was soon to become a fierce battlefield because Commander Guan-Yang-Sen had led five million troops to fight the battle there.

A day and six shichens had passed...

Neigh, neigh, neigh!!!

Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!

Zheng-Fu's group continued their journey to reach the city as quickly as possible. They had only stopped the horses to rest once. The horses they were using were already exhausted, so Zheng-Fu ordered everyone to stop their horses first; otherwise, the horse they were riding on would probably die. And they would have to waste more time traveling.

But that meant going in groups, not just Zheng-Fu alone.

"I wonder what Master and the others will be like," said Bao-Bao as she sat down on a wooden stick with a sad and worried look.

"Sister, you don't have to worry. Master and the others will definitely be safe!" When Bao-Jin heard his sister's words, he immediately replied with consolation to her.

"But you guys ought to prepare yourselves because nothing is certain."

Huh...?

Zheng-Fu's voice rang out as everyone had a sad expression, expecting that their master and the other disciples would be safe. Then everyone turned to look at him with slightly dissatisfied eyes, but it dissipated when they realized who was speaking.

"If you can't say something auspicious, then don't say it. No one would say that you are dumb!!" The girl was instantly blown away when she heard Zheng-Fu's words just now.

"Sister!"

"Huh! I'll tell you something. We are born, and we must die. No one can escape death, and you ought to prepare yourself for that event so that you can make wise decisions and not let yourself fall to the bottom of your life!" Zheng-Fu answered the young woman with a calm and cold face. He knew well that everyone was born and must die because he himself had died once.

"You talk as if you've been dead!?" The girl was still in a rage and showed no signs of easing.

"Yes, I have died once. I know what it's like to die. But I was fortunate enough to be able to resurrect and become who I am today. Sigh... When people meet, they have to part. The feast must have an end.

But getting teenagers to stop amphetamine use is not easy! Hehe," When Zheng-Fu mentioned farewell, his face instantly became sad because being separated from his beloved wife was very painful.

Zheng-Fu's answer left everyone's faces stunned and dazed. Who could have survived death and still be standing here? The more they thought, the more they did not understand, especially the young woman, who did not understand anything at all.

"Alright, you guys, that's enough. The things that Young Master said make sense. We should keep calm. It's true that anything could happen," said Bao-Jin, with his mind that was stronger than others, as he walked towards his sister and calmed her down.

An hour had passed...

"Well, let's continue our journey!"

Ya!!!

Neigh, neigh, neigh!!!

After resting for an hour, finally, they continued their journey, speeding up to reach Blossom Meadow City before sunset. At night, this area was not very suitable for travel. It was very dark, and some poisonous beasts liked to come out at night. They might kill the horses if they ran off unaware of the path.

Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!

Ya!!! Ya!!! Ya!!!

At the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom's temporary camp, in the tent of the commander who led the army to attack Blueland this time...

"Report, Commander. Our informer has reported that Blueland's army has moved to clash with us, sir!"

A soldier's voice sounded, reporting to a middle-aged man sitting on a large chair in the middle of the tent, clad in shiny red armor with a firebird adorned in the middle of his chest. There were also several middle-aged men sitting on both the left and right sides.

"How many of them?" asked a middle-aged man sitting on the commander's left side.

"Our informer said it should be around five million soldiers, equal to our army, sir!"

"Five million?"

Ha ha ha!!!

"Do they think that this number of soldiers will be able to withstand our forces? How arrogant!" Suddenly, a burst of satisfying laughter rang out, with insulting words following from the middle-aged man sitting on the right hand of the commander.

"Don't insult our enemies if we haven't entered the battlefield yet. Who knows if any unexpected things will happen? Underestimating an enemy is the way to your death!" a respectful and terrifying voice rang after the middle-aged man had finished speaking.

"Yes, Commander!!!"

"In four days, we'll arrive in the next city. And when we get there, if the city lord surrenders us, we won't hurt anyone and will just pass through that city because our goal is only the capital and the head of the current king!"

"Yes, Commander!!!!!"

Back to Zheng-Fu's group...

Now more than two shichens had passed. Soon the sun would set. And they almost arrived at their destination as well.

Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!

"We're almost there, only a few tens of li away. We just get to leave the forest ahead!" Bao-Jin shouted to his group to speed up the horse's footsteps.

Yaaa!!!

Everyone responded to Bao-Jin's voice in unison, except for Zheng-Fu, who did not make any sound; he simply kept galloping his horse. And that put him at the very end of the group by default. But he was left not far from the group. This was because Zheng-Fu was deliberately staying behind.

"Huh... There are quite a lot of them hiding everywhere. So, what should I do? Pluck them off quietly, or be better to do it blatantly... No, no, no, if I do it blatantly, everyone will know. It'll be annoying that way.

They'll continue to ask questions non-stop."

After he had ridden into this area for a while, Zheng-Fu sensed a group of dozens of people hiding in the trees. Each of them had a cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage. Especially the one at the front of the group who seemed to be the best skilled; he had a cultivation level at the late seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.

But even at that level of energy, they could not even equal Zheng-Fu. He was not afraid if they invaded. Moreover, he was thinking about how to deal with them. And if they had heard his thoughts, they might have been angry and wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.
