"Hello, Lu-Bei. Respect, First Prince."

Huh...?

As First Prince Lu-Fang-Kong and Lu-Bei were standing and chatting with serious expressions on their faces, the greetings rang out. And when they turned around to see who it was, they found someone wearing a straw hat and a black and white robe standing there.

"Zheng…"

Lu-Bei soon realized who the person in front of him was and thought of saying hello, but Zheng-Fu raised his hand, forbidding Lu-Bei from calling his name.

"Lu-Bei, what is the situation right now?" Zheng-Fu immediately asked, which he had made only him and the second prince hear.

"Sigh... You finally came. The situation right now is not very good. Your new spell is about to break. So, I'm afraid that... you won't be able to catch up before it crashes," Lu-Bei said, glad to see Zheng-Fu, along with a grateful broad smile.

The First Prince knew who the person in front of him was, but he was not as close to Zheng-Fu as his younger brother. And his relationship with Zheng-Fu was not good from the first time they met. So, Lu-Fang-Kong did not know how to say hello to Zheng-Fu.

"Um... Fortunately, it wasn't broken before I arrived. Otherwise, the capital city would have been completely destroyed because each monster beast within the ancient ruins was much stronger than the monster beasts of the same level outside. Besides, they're also smarter," Zheng-Fu said with a playful expression, though his words sounded very depressing.

"It's good that you came in time. We've been waiting for you," Lu-Bei left his worried expression, patted Zheng-Fu's shoulder, and said with gladness.

"Trust me, I'll deal with them for you. But you should get people away from here first. I can't guarantee their safety if someone is nearby," Zheng-Fu replied to Lu-Bei with a smile and told Lu-Bei to order his men to retreat as far as possible.

"As for you, First Prince, I think you'd like to explore the inside and go into battle with those monster beasts. But let me warn you that they're both strong and intelligent, almost no different from humans. With your energy level, I think you'd better stay here."

Zheng-Fu turned around and spoke to Lu-Fang-Kong, who was looking at him all the time as if he wanted to say something. And when he heard Zheng-Fu's words, his face suddenly changed, but he did not say anything.

He knew that Zheng-Fu's words were true. Even though he was the Immortal stage cultivator, the monster beasts inside were all the Immortal Soul stage monster beasts. Even if the lowest one was only the first level, they were still much stronger than the first level of the other Immortal Soul stage on the outside.

"I understand. I'll do as you say," Lu-Fang-Kong replied in a calm tone.

"Good! Then I'll go to the entrance first. I want you to take care of this outside as well."

Swish!!!

When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, his body disappeared from the sight of the two and everyone surrounding him. Many cultivators had noticed that, but they did not know who Zheng-Fu was; the only thing they knew was that Zheng-Fu must be much stronger than them. Otherwise, they would have followed Zheng-Fu's speed.

Thump!!!

Roar!!!

Roar!!!

Kwaaaaak!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu appeared in front of the entrance, the roar of monster beasts grew louder and more fierce.

Bang!!! Bang!!!

Some of them tried to break the spell curtain that imprisoned them like crazy. And some tried to attack Zheng-Fu.

"You guys are very fine materials," Zheng-Fu said, licking his lips as if he were seeing his favorite delicious food staring at the monster beasts in front of him.

If anyone had seen this scene, they would have thought that Zheng-Fu was a psycho. But no one knew how much the monster beast's pieces were worth to Zheng-Fu because perhaps these monster beasts had monster axles, and some may have monster spirits.

"First, we need to repair and improve this spell curtain."

Whoosh!!!

When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he immediately moved his hand to the spell curtain. Zheng-Fu wanted to repair it and recreate it to make it stronger and able to support his energy from battle.

Zheng-Fu thought that, within these ancient ruins, there were definitely the Divine Emperor monster beasts. Otherwise, these monster beasts would not be organized and do everything in an orderly manner like this; therefore, Zheng-Fu had to prepare everything well.

Two hours had passed...

Whoosh!!!

"For what has he been standing for so long?" Suddenly, the voices of the cultivators and soldiers who had retreated at Lu-Bei's orders rang out with suspicion.

"I don't know either. I've seen him move his hands like that for two hours now. But I don't see him doing anything else."

"By the way, do you guys know who he is?"

"You do have a lot of questions. You keep asking. I don't know either. If I'd known, I'd have told you already. I wouldn't wait for you to ask."

"I'm sorry. I wonder who he is. The two princes gave him such importance."

"Whoever he is, he must be very strong. He can stand so close to the spell curtain without anything happening. Perhaps he's even stronger than those monster beasts."

"You're right. I think the same as you. After completing this quest, I need to get to know him so that I can progress even more."

"I'll do the same as you."

Many cultivators talked about it and were very curious about who Zheng-Fu was, where he came from, and how high his energy level was. Some thought of seeking advice from him for their advancement. Some even thought of tying up a relationship with him.

If they had known who Zheng-Fu was, they would not have stayed silent, making such a suspicious face, because Zheng-Fu was considered an important force to complete their mission on this quest.

"Zheng-Fu…" Lu-Bei was a little worried seeing Zheng-Fu just standing there and moving his hands without doing anything else.

Back to Zheng-Fu...

Whoosh!!!

Phew!!!

"Finally accomplished," Zheng-Fu let out a long sigh after he finished creating the last spell pattern's characters, which was extremely difficult and cost him quite a bit of psychic energy.

Thump!!!

Once the new spell curtain was finished, Zheng-Fu did not hesitate to sit down and meditate immediately to restore the psychic energy lost in creating this spell. This new spell curtain was extremely strong. It was on a higher level than all the spell curtains that Zheng-Fu had ever created.

The reason why Zheng-Fu had to create such a strong spell curtain was that he knew that this battle inside the ruins would be extremely violent. Zheng-Fu did not believe there were only monster beasts on the Immortal Soul stage; there had to be monster beasts on the Divine Emperor stage as well.

Therefore, Zheng-Fu had to prepare himself as much as possible in order not to make a mistake after he entered. Because of this spell curtain, the ninth or more levels of the Divine Emperor cultivators could destroy it.

Inside the ancient ruins...

"Divine-Emperor-stage demon spell curtain?"

Huh...?

"Divine-Emperor-stage demon spell curtain! How is this possible? Humans are unlikely to be able to create spell curtains of this level. Or do they have the Divine Emperor stage sorcerer of the Demon Tribe with them?"

"No way. At this moment, very few of the Demon Tribe's sorcerers have reached that level. And as they are at war with us, they certainly shouldn't have sent the Divine Emperor stage sorcerer here. Besides, they are not very friendly with these filthy humans."

"You're right. But if this spell curtain is a demon spell curtain, as you said, who was it that created it?"

"Tsk!!! It's just a poor Divine Emperor spell. Why would you be afraid of it? With just one flick of my hand, it'll be completely destroyed. And besides, I want to get out of this place and smear their blood. If only you ordered me to…"

"No! Xi-Gul, you also know why we came here. You are Demon Commander number fifty-five and should have more responsibility. If this work fails or goes wrong, you probably know what's going to happen!"

Whoosh!!!

Augh!!!

"I understand, Master Feng-Jiang-Mou."

"Besides, this spell curtain isn't as fragile as you think. Even I can't destroy it. Even if we work together, it's difficult to break it down."

"Damn! How is this possible? Isn't it just a man-made spell curtain? Will it be that strong? I don't want to believe it!"

"You don't know many things, Xi-Gul. Humans are not weak. Just because they're greedy and competitive, and it makes them seem weak. But if one day they perceive a threat, they'll unite and become stronger."

"I know. My father always tells me so. But I can't believe we can't fight those humans!"

"Sigh... Then you should calm yourself now. When our work is done, I'll let you do as you please. And if anyone dares to come in here, I'll give it to you. You're satisfied?"

"Good! Then I'll finish this task quickly and go out on a rampage to the fullest!"

Within the ancient ruins in this underground cavern, many monster beasts were controlled by four mysterious figures within them. Each of them had a total energy level at the Divine Emperor stage. Moreover, the dark energy surrounding them was also abundant.

And that was why Zheng-Fu had to prepare and arrange everything before entering the ancient ruin. Besides that, Zheng-Fu still wanted to know who these four people were and where they were from because he was unable to perceive the identity of the four very much.

'I can't fully examine them, and it's also difficult for them to detect me. They must have special skills and secret techniques. And their energy level must not be less than the intermediate Divine Emperor stage or even higher.'

Zheng-Fu meditated and thought in his mind at the same time about the mysterious group of people he had sensed just now, while he stood in front of the entrance to draw a new spell. And he knew that the four must not be ordinary people or maybe not even humans, because their energy was very dark and cold, full of death, similar to that of the Cult of the Savage Evil but more intense.
