"Northern Tribe?" Elder Hai-Tu frowned slightly and tried to think whether he had ever known such a tribe before realizing it and saying, "I know quite a bit, and there're only a few Northern Tribes who know about the Winter Element. But what will you do?" Elder Hai-Tu replied with a questioning look on his face.

"Nothing. It's just that I've auctioned off some slaves, and they're from the Northern Tribe, so I want to know about them," Zheng-Fu answered.

"Have you auctioned the slaves? And where are they? Why can't I see them? Or where did you hide them?" Elder Hai-Tu was immediately excited when he heard Zheng-Fu's words that he had bid the slaves, and he turned left and right to look for those slaves.

"They're in a secret place that can't be exposed to anyone, but you'll soon meet them," Zheng-Fu could not tell that those slaves were within his secret dimensional space and were all slumbering because of Zheng-Fu's pills. The reason he had to do that was that he did not want them to know anything about the situation either.

"Tsk! Another secret, right?" the elder cursed, with a disappointed and displeased look at Zheng-Fu's refusal to tell him. But Elder Hai-Tu did not think of urging Zheng-Fu to tell him anything.

"Alright, everyone can disperse to do their duty. As for Elder and Brother, you probably want to rest. I'll have someone prepare the rooms for you. Oh... City Governor, this is very important. Do not let others know about all this, except for your close subordinates."

"I understand. Please trust me. As for the thousand soldiers, I'll manage this matter as soon as possible," Lao-Ying-Ba said in a very confident and firm tone.

After the assignments were completed, they all dispersed to do their own duties. During their discussion, the girl, Lao-Ying Su-Su, leveled up her energy by two steps. Because the air was filled with so many Qi energy waves and she had such a low energy level, she could level up by leaps and bounds.

Not only Lao-Ying Su-Su. Even the city governor himself had made great progress, including the two commanders as well. Everyone had improved a lot just by being here, unlike when they cultivated at their own residences or outer disciple zones.

As for Zheng-Fu, he remained within the main residence as before, not going anywhere. Beside him, Dong-Kuang stood quietly. The reason Zheng-Fu was still here was that he would summon the Northern Tribe out of his secret dimensional space. And for Dong-Kuang to be there because Zheng-Fu wanted Dong-Kuang to help him take care of those people on his behalf.

Whoosh!!!

Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!

In the blink of an eye, fifteen figures flew out of Zheng-Fu's chest and fell in unison to the floor. But these people were still in a happy slumber until Zheng-Fu woke them up, and they would wake up.

Seeing they had all come out, Zheng-Fu did not hesitate and immediately scattered the golden powder on the fifteen Northern Tribes who were lying on the floor. And when the golden powder hit them, all of them soon silently opened their eyes. Some people yawned lazily, but at that moment, a young man in the group who looked like a cultivator suddenly stood up and prepared himself.

Then two other young men and two big young women, who were lying next to each other, stood up next to follow the first young man. They all locked their gaze on Zheng-Fu.

"Where is this place!?" asked the young man who first rose.

"This is the Beyond Earth Sect. And I'm the one who bought you guys," Zheng-Fu immediately replied to him with a friendly grin.

"Beyond Earth Sect? Huh!!! No matter what place this is, we don't care. If you think you can force us, just dream on!" the other young man beside him spoke up, staring at Zheng-Fu spitefully and hostilely.

"If you want to kill us, kill us now. We're the Chang-Liang Tribe. We're never afraid of death!" said the third young man, showing a serious expression that did not give up even in the face of danger.

"Force? Kill? Why should I do that to you guys? I bought you all because I wanted to help you. I didn't even think to do something like that," Zheng-Fu replied to the three young men about why he had bought these people.

But of course, the three of them would not believe it since their tribes had been captured so many times. And it was not just their tribes; other tribes were treated the same. All those who had been captured, if not taken as slaves, had to be toys for these mainlanders. So, they did not think to believe what Zheng-Fu said.

"Who would believe your rotten words!? Do you think we'll believe those few words of yours?"

"Yes, we would rather die than bow our heads to a bastard like you!"

"That's right. Even if we can't do anything to you, we'll curse you all. We wish you guys would face bad things forever. And we wish the Winter Goddess to punish you by freezing to death!!!"

"Yes!!!"

After the others regained consciousness, they immediately joined the group of young men and young women who were cultivators as they let out endless curses.

"Sigh... Words are just words, right? Then, how about this?"

Quaaaaack!!!

Huh...?

Suddenly, the noise of tearing paper in Zheng-Fu's hands sounded after he finished speaking. This action caused the fifteen Northern Tribes, who immediately spewed out curse words, to shut their mouths in shock and dazedness.

"Is this enough for you guys?"

Zheng-Fu spoke up again after tearing the paper in his hands. The paper that Zheng-Fu tore and destroyed was the slave contract paper he had acquired when he bought these people.

"The slave badge is gone?"

"Yeah... It's gone!"

"The paper just now was… a slave contract?"

All of them were stunned and very suspicious of what had happened. They did not think that Zheng-Fu was so serious that he even tore down the slave contract, which could be used to control them to do whatever he wanted.

"Alright, now you guys are free. You're no longer slaves. If you want to return to your home, you can go. I'll get people to prepare horses and food, along with the necessary supplies. But I cannot guarantee that you'll be captured again if you leave here."

"Now that it's getting dark, you guys should rest. I've already prepared accommodation for you. If you want to go, you can leave tomorrow," Zheng-Fu did not wait for everyone to ask; he immediately said what he had in mind.

Just like a dream, they all felt very happy but still felt a little paranoid. All of them were afraid that this was the other party's plan. And being so straightforward, the young man who got up first shouted out with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you doing this?"

"I already told you. I just wanted to help you guys; I didn't even think about doing anything. I still have a lot of other things to deal with. And besides, I don't like enslaving people like this. If possible, I would also like to blow up that Slave Auction House."

Zheng-Fu replied to the young man for the same reason he had already said, with an angry expression as he thought of the Slave Auction House which liked to chase and enslave weaker people.

"Is that all? Just wanting to help us?" The young female martial artist who was standing next to the first young man let out a few words as she stared at Zheng-Fu in disbelief and curiosity.

"That's all... Alright, now I'll have to excuse myself. I still have a lot of work. After this, Dong-Kuang will take care of you guys and take you to your accommodation. Wait until tomorrow morning before leaving. Or you can continue to stay here first.

It's up to you guys," Zheng-Fu got up and excused himself for another mission and entrusted the duty of taking care of these people to Dong-Kuang.

Swish!!!

Ah!

"Everyone, please follow me. Young Master has set up accommodation for everyone," Dong-Kuang said in a polite but majestic and respectful tone.

"Er… Um…!"

The first young man who seemed to have the most stubborn expression turned out to have subconsciously agreed upon hearing Dong-Kuang's majestic and respectful words. The others had the same feeling, which was very different from when they spoke to Zheng-Fu. Zheng-Fu looked complicated and gave them a feeling that was hard to explain, but anyway, he looked reliable.

The fifteen people immediately followed Dong-Kuang out of the main residence at once. And when they came out of the main residence, all fifteen people's faces changed. Their frightened and narrow eyes suddenly widened, their mouths gaping in amazement at the scenery in front of them.

"Is this paradise?"

"In my entire life, I never thought that I would be able to see such a beautiful place!"

"Look at that! That tree is so beautiful!"

"This place is very beautiful. The air is very clean and fresh. Plus, it's full of energy as well."

The fifteen people exclaimed excitedly and happily to see the prime disciple zone filled with nature and beautiful surroundings. Of course, this was because this was the zone of the sect's prime disciples who needed a lot of privacy.

"This place is for the prime disciples of our sect. If you guys would like to stay here, you must be prime disciples first. But the inner disciple area is equally beautiful," Sectmaster Dong-Kuang explained to the fifteen people the meaning of this place.

"What is a prime disciple?"

"And is this inner disciple delicious?"

The two boys asked after hearing Dong-Kuang explain. They did not understand the meaning of these words because the place they had been had nothing like this. There was no sect, just a teacher and a normal student, no prime disciples or inner disciples, as Dong-Kuang said.

"Speaking of them now, you'll not understand. If you guys want to know, we'll have to talk a little longer. But since you'll only be here for one day, it's hard to explain it all," Dong-Kuang turned to the two boys with a warm and affectionate smile as he patted their heads.

Every action of Dong-Kuang's was under the eyes of the first young man. And he could sense that Dong-Kuang was speaking very seriously and firmly. His eyes were sincere, and he did not look like he was pretending in any way.
