"There really are demons in the ancient ruins?" Lu-Fang-Kong asked with a very curious expression. He believed that something like this was unlikely to happen.
"If Your Highness doesn't believe what I'm saying, you can go inside to check it out yourself if you're not afraid to die," Zheng-Fu did not answer directly; he just shrugged and told Lu-Fang-Kong to go in and check it by himself.
When Lu-Fang-Kong heard Zheng-Fu's words, his face instantly turned pale. If Zheng-Fu's words were true, he would surely be killed by the demons in the blink of an eye unless he had to cultivate until he was as strong as Zheng-Fu. But if it were him right now, it would be impossible to go in and check it out.
"Let me do it next time," Lu-Fang-Kong said in a low voice before turning his head the other way.
The other nobles and officers were pale as well when they saw First Prince Lu-Fang-Kong's changed expression.
"But you don't have to worry. Even with the Demon Tribe inside, they can't get past the spell curtain unless the Demon King comes by himself," Zheng-Fu explained, assuring everyone that the demons within the ancient ruins would definitely not be able to come out. And he did not think of letting them out.
So, Zheng-Fu thought of entering again after he restored at least eight parts of his energy because if he entered and encountered the eighth or ninth levels of the Divine Emperor stage demons, he would definitely be in trouble if he could not escape in time. Therefore, Zheng-Fu had to come out to restore energy first.
Fortunately, Zheng-Fu had a recovery rate several times better than the others. It only took him two shichens to restore the eight parts of energy that he had intended. And in the past two shichens, the demon soldiers had returned to the camp on the other side of the dimension gate. They brought back the bodies of Demon Commander Feng-Jiang-Mou and another commander.
In addition to the two commanders' bodies, the bodies of five hundred demon soldiers were also taken back. Only the corpses of monster beasts were left. Everything was managed quickly because it was Commander Feng-Lao's order not to let them stay here too long.
And when the two thousand demon soldiers had finished clearing the area, they immediately closed the dimension gate leading to their camp to prevent unforeseen events from happening later.
As for Zheng-Fu, after recovering the required energy, he got up and lunged through the spell curtain again. When he entered, Zheng-Fu found that the dimension gate, or the luminescence in the middle of the six pillars of the entrance to the Demon Tribe, had disappeared, including all the demon soldiers that had come in before.
"They've returned? And they also brought the bodies of all the demons with them. Fortunately, they didn't take the bodies of these monster beasts," Zheng-Fu spoke after a brief summary of what he had seen. And he felt so good that they had left without taking the corpses of monster beasts with them.
Although most of the monster beasts' bodies were damaged by the energy waves from his Index Skill, the rest of the pieces were still very useful because the number of monster beasts within these ancient ruins was not small. Thus, Zheng-Fu relentlessly sucked their bodies into his dimensional space, since no one could see what he did to them through the spell curtain.
After a while, Zheng-Fu was able to suck all the usable remains of monster beasts into his dimensional space. When he finished dealing with the corpses of the monster beasts, Zheng-Fu turned to look in the direction where the Demon Tribe's members came out, or at the six pillars that formed the dimension gate link between here and the Demon Tribe realm in the Hell Region.
"I should destroy all those stone pillars to prevent them from coming back here," Zheng-Fu said softly, with a calm and cold expression on his face, before taking out a saber from his dimension ring.
[The Earth Crushes the World Saber Skill]
Zing!!!
Boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, a powerful wave of saber swept out, cutting through the six pillars, crashing to shreds as the ground shook violently. Groan!!! Because the energy of the Earth Crushes the World Saber Skill was a Mystical skill.
"Wha… what… what happened!?"
"This kind of tremor must be because he is fighting with the demons."
"So, there are still demons in there?"
"No way. What if there were demons left and he couldn't defeat them?"
Both nobles and cultivators around here all had fear in their hearts. Some people could hardly stand here any longer due to fear and pressure. But someone wanted to go so badly, but they could not, for they still wanted to know about it.
However, everyone wished in the same way that all the Demon Tribe's members died; no one was left alive. Everyone had high expectations of Zheng-Fu in this regard, without anyone knowing that, in reality, that tremor was only caused by Zheng-Fu's actions to destroy the stone pillars.
Anyway, if they were ordinary stone pillars, Zheng-Fu would not have to use such a violent stance. But these six stone pillars were made of fine ores and were also engraved with the defensive spell. Thus, Zheng-Fu had to do his best to destroy the six stone pillars to their foundation, which was the center circle of the six stone pillars.
"With this, the demons would not be able to open the dimension gate to enter here anymore," Zheng-Fu said with a happy smile, seeing that all the stone pillars were completely destroyed.
He then turned to the other six stone pillars on the other side that linked the Monster Tribe before speaking, "Finally… I can finally come to you. Wait for me... I'm begging you for a little more time. I'll fulfill my promise. Please, please believe me... (Um… Sounds like singing a song!) After I finish the matter here, I'll immediately come to you."
Zheng-Fu delightfully glanced at the six stone pillars alternating with the mechanical stone in his hand with joy because he could finally go to see his wife, Qi-Fu-Er. All he had to do was to use the mechanical stone in his hand to open the dimension gate in the center between the six stone pillars.
But at this time, he was still burdened here, so Zheng-Fu could not go right now. So, he had to ask for another month and he would immediately open the dimension gate to the Hell Region.
Swish!!!
After making his decision, Zheng-Fu went out again with a smile on his face. He came to a stop beside Lu-Bei and was very close to Princess Ying-Ying and said, "Lu-Bei... I've settled everything. There is not even a single monster beast or the Demon Tribe's member left. So, you don't have to be afraid of monster beasts going on a rampage anymore," Zheng-Fu explained with a smile.
"Really?" Lu-Bei was overjoyed upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words just now. And just to be sure, he happily asked again.
The other people around them were delighted and overjoyed, whether the king, wangs, nobles, commanders, soldiers, or cultivators were hired to work here this time. The cultivators, in particular, were especially delighted because they were going to be paid huge rewards without doing anything.
"Young Master Zheng-Fu, what's actually inside?" suddenly, the voice of the Second Wang, Lu-Er-Lang, sounded with a white face like a woman sticking out beside the king.
Huh...?
Zheng-Fu was slightly skeptical when he heard this white-faced man's question: who was he, and why had he never seen him before? Besides, he did not even feel the identity of this man when he came here.
"Um! Young Master Zheng-Fu, you've never met Second Wang 'Lu-Er-Lang' before. He is my uncle, the older brother of the Third Wang, and the younger brother of my father."
Lu-Bei's voice sounded softly beside Zheng-Fu. He saw that Zheng-Fu had a doubtful expression and stared at the Second Wang, so Lu-Bei introduced Zheng-Fu to this white-faced man.
"Oh! You're actually the Second Wang. I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, respect the Second Wang," Zheng-Fu clasped his hands up and greeted the Second Wang with a sly smile before continuing, "Inside, there are rocks and stones. Um... And there are the remnants of monster beasts that I killed.
The other things are the remains of the ancient site that used to be there!" Zheng-Fu explained to the Second Wang with an annoying smile.
"Is that all there is?" the Second Wang gave a slightly shocked expression before turning back to his original face and asking, "Have you found any palm-sized white stones?" the Second Wang said, raising his hand to indicate the size of the stone he asked.
White stone?
'How did this man know about the mechanical stone? Or did he know about the ancient ruins in this underground cave as well?'
Zheng-Fu suddenly became suspicious of the Second Wang after hearing the question just now. He was normally wary of this handsome man because he was unable to sense his existence at first.
But even knowing that this Second Wang looked dubious and shocked at his question, Zheng-Fu's expression did not change at all. He did not want the other side to know about the abnormality or know that he had found what he asked. Zheng-Fu still had the same indifferent expression and replied to the Second Wang.
"I found nothing but what I said. By the way, what is the white stone you mentioned? If it's important to you, I'll go check it out," Zheng-Fu replied and intently asked the Second Wang how important the stone was to him.
"It doesn't matter, Young Master Zheng-Fu. It's just the collectible I'm looking for. They say it can often be found in ancient ruins like this. But since Young Master Zheng-Fu said that there's none of it, I believe so," the Second Wang had a very calm expression on his face as he replied. He did not appear apprehensive or show any suspicious expressions despite Zheng-Fu asking him back.
"So that's how it is. Then if I find something like the one you said, I'll tell you right away."
"Thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu."
