"Huh! Come in. No matter what it is, I will…"

Swooooooosh!!!

Argh!!!

While everyone was paying attention to see who the young man walking was, the figure they saw suddenly disappeared. At the same time, one agonizing curse sounded as the city's defending commander's figure rose slightly above the ground. That was because Zheng-Fu had vanished to appear in front of the commander and used his hand to grab the commander's throat and lift him before speaking.

"I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, just want to deck my ship at the port of this city. But you charge a decking fee of five hundred million coins from just ten million coins at first, which we can accept. But now you've increased it very quickly in an instant. That shows you don't want to live anymore, right?"

Zheng-Fu's voice caused the entire city to tremble. Just one portion of the energy pressure wave he emitted with the sound was enough to cause all the people in this city to panic.

"So... so... so scary!!!"

"Sea Demon!"

"No!!!"

The screams of the people began to rise after the tremors ended. Then there was the sound of the footsteps running away in different directions in fear. Only the soldiers accompanying the commander, the young man, and the middle-aged man were left.

"Re… Real… Release Co... Co… Commander now!" the young man, trying to gather up his courage, shouted out, pointing his sword at Zheng-Fu.

Huh!!!

Zheng-Fu only gave a short curse, ignoring the young man's words. He did this because he did not want to waste any time using a soft method with these people.

"I'll ask one last time. Can we get ashore at the port of this city?"

"Aa... u... ae... aa!" the commander tried to speak but was unable to utter sound words because his throat was squeezed by Zheng-Fu. Although Zheng-Fu could not hear what he was saying, with a terrified look on his face, Zheng-Fu could guess that the other party had already agreed.

Cough!!! Puff! Puff! Puff!

As soon as Zheng-Fu let go of the city's defending commander's throat, his body immediately fell to the ground as he breathed in and out quickly in pain and suffering.

"Things would be easier if only you had agreed to do it easily. It shouldn't be a hassle at all." Zheng-Fu snorted, coldly glaring at the commander who was gasping for breath. He then signaled Elder Hai-Tu to bring the ship to the dock.

Screech!!!

"Are you all right, Brother?" When the ship had docked, Hai-Dong hurriedly disembarked from the ship and asked Zheng-Fu with concern.

"I'm alright. No problem," Zheng-Fu replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Then he turned to Elder Hai-Tu and asked, "Elder, can your ship be kept or not?" Zheng-Fu asked out of curiosity.

"Of course, it can," Elder Hai-Tu immediately replied, proudly raising his chest.

Zheng-Fu pretended to ignore the elder's proud expression and said, "That's good, I was worried at first if you had to dock and leave the ship here." Finished speaking, he turned to the Song brothers and the mischievous trio who had just come down.

"The three of you are in charge of taking care of these three. We need to expedite our journey, so get on their backs now."

"Yes, Young Master!!!"

Although the elder was dissatisfied with Zheng-Fu's indifferent expression towards him for a moment, he agreed to do as Zheng-Fu told him by keeping his ship and preparing to continue the journey. The actions of Zheng-Fu and his team were in the eyes of many people who were secretly watching from a distance.

As for the city's defending commander, he had now been dragged out by the young man and the middle-aged man to heal. And because it was a mild injury, the city's defending commander was able to recover quickly and soon returned to normal. And when all the symptoms had disappeared, he gathered up his courage once more to ask.

"Please tell me who Young Master is or where you came from." This time, the commander made his speech more polite after realizing that the other party was much stronger than him.

"Who I am is not important. But if you want to know, you can ask about me at the Tian-Tang Clan, In-See City. My name is Zheng-Fu. You can ask the people there who I am," Zheng-Fu told the city's defending commander only briefly.

"In-See City!?"

"Tian-Tang Clan?"

"Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu!!?"

"You're Young Master Zheng-Fu of the Tian-Tang Clan?" The city's defending commander's face suddenly changed as he thought of the name Zheng-Fu had told him again. And just to be sure, he asked again to confirm he was not deaf.

"Yes, it's me." Zheng-Fu nodded as he answered before continuing, "Well, I don't have much time. I must hurry to continue my journey." After saying that Zheng-Fu immediately soared out of that spot.

Swish!!!

Roarrr!!! Awoooo!!! Moooooo!!!

When the three monster beasts saw Zheng-Fu soar out, they let out their single cries and then followed Zheng-Fu at once. As for Elder Hai-Tu and Hai-Dong, they too quickly followed behind. And in the blink of an eye, Zheng-Fu and his group disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Commander, do you know him?" After Zheng-Fu left and the situation calmed down, the young man asked suspiciously.

"Of course, I do. No city's defending commander does not know him. Even the third grand commander must have some respect for him. And who are we to have no respect for him? Besides, In-See City can become a big city like this because of him and Beyond Earth Sect," the commander immediately explained to the young man with a look of respect and admiration.

"Is it him? You're not mistaken, right? How could such a young child be able to do such a huge thing!?" The young man could not believe the commander's words. From what he saw, Zheng-Fu was much younger than him, so how could he be the one to do such a big thing?

"His young age doesn't mean he can't do this. Some children are born geniuses, gifted in martial arts and energy, so they are superior to others. And he was one of those young prodigies. Or maybe even more," the city's defending commander immediately elaborated. And with these words, the young man slowly turned his thoughts into belief.

This conversation was not blocked in any way. So, everyone around that area could hear it, except for the townspeople who peered from afar with curiosity. They had heard the name Zheng-Fu before but never knew anything about him or what he had done. Because they were just city dwellers who did not travel very far.

Only the wandering merchants and cultivators who traveled everywhere would know these stories.

"What a very talented child. I'm really envious!" said the young man. He gazed admiringly in the direction where Zheng-Fu and the others had left. And so did the city's defending commander.

The distance from the first fishing city to In-See City took a full week to travel. But it was Zheng-Fu, so it only took him three and a half days to reach there. That meant if they had to travel from the port city to Wild Land, it would take two months.

Because traveling from the port city had to pass through three cities. If perhaps unlucky, they might be stranded at the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country's immigration post. Although they were unable to detain them, it would cause Zheng-Fu to have more trouble and waste more time.

But this time, he did not need to travel through those outposts because he took the brutal sea shortcuts directly through Blueland and disembarked at the first fishing city, allowing them to take a few days to travel to the destination.

On the side of the assassins hired to hunt Zheng-Fu and his team. They had now been ordered to travel to Blueland because the great elders thought that Zheng-Fu and his team might use some special method to evade the assassins' inspection.

So, the white-bearded elder ordered the assassins and martial masters they hired to travel to Blueland and target Zheng-Fu's Tian-Tang Clan because, no matter what, the elder thought that Zheng-Fu would definitely return to the clan.

Two days had passed...

The journey of Zheng-Fu and the others had been going well for the past two days. They did not encounter any obstacles to slow down the journey at all. Whether it be monster beasts or bandits, none of them dared to even come close to Zheng-Fu's team.

That was because of Zheng-Fu's mischievous trio. All three were high-level monster beasts. Whether it was their appearance, aura, or energy waves they performed, those who dared to approach them would only be those who were not afraid to die or were madmen. Therefore, along the way, they traveled peacefully.

But on this second day, Zheng-Fu slightly changed direction. Instead, he switched to the path that would go through Jungle Wood Village. The reason why Zheng-Fu went there was that he wanted to see what the Jungle Wood Village was like after he left and had given them the items to change their destiny.

At the entrance to the Jungle Wood Village...

"Who's that!? Hah...Young Master? That's Young Master Zheng-Fu!?"

When Zheng-Fu arrived in front of the village, at first, a young man serving as a guard at the entrance shouted loudly for the passersby to stop. But when he saw who the person was, his serious look suddenly changed to a broad smile of joy before rushing towards Zheng-Fu.

"Respect, Young Master Zheng-Fu. Welcome to Jungle Wood Village, sir," the young man clasped his hands as he greeted Zheng-Fu warmly and politely.

"Um...You don't have to be very polite. By the way, Is Elder here?" Zheng-Fu waved his hand at the young man to look up and immediately asked for the elder he had met.

"Elder is at Leader's house, Young Master. Please wait a moment. I'll hurry to report to Elder and Leader," the young man immediately replied to Zheng-Fu and prepared to report to the elder and the village leader that Zheng-Fu had come. But just as the young man took a step forward, Zheng-Fu extended his hand and grabbed the young man.

"No need. I'm just visiting. I'll have to continue my journey now. You just need to take a message from me and tell Elder," When he finished speaking, Zheng-Fu took out a piece of paper and a brush. Then he quickly wrote a message and handed it over to the young man for him to hand over to the elder.

"Alright, Young Master Zheng-Fu!" the young man took Zheng-Fu's message paper and responded politely.

"Then, I'll excuse myself. This chapter is over. Let's meet again in the next chapter. And I hope that you won't be angry with me for doing this," with that said, Zheng-Fu instantly disappeared into the forest, leaving only his footprints.
