After Zheng-Fu had taken his force away, the gathered people hurriedly dispersed to rest in their area. While their expressions clearly indicated that they were very sleepy.

The next morning...

Everyone who went to bed early got up early to do their daily routine. Then they gathered in the center courtyard designated for stretching exercises. However, not everyone came to exercise. Some came to talk about what happened last night.

"Last night, while I was sleeping well, I was startled by the deafening sound of explosions. Even though I didn't see it, the tremor that I felt was very intense."

"It must have been intense. Because it had destroyed more than seven parts of the Heavenly Flame Demon Deity Sect camp, you know!?"

"I never thought that that kid's invention would be so violent like this. It's said that he is Defeat Heavenly Force Leader too. After this incident ends, I hope to join his force!"

"Huh! It must have been difficult now. Because I have seen them recruit unlimited members before. And most of the people who joined this force at that time were either from small clans or those with low abilities and talents. None of the talents, including myself, had even thought of joining this new force. But look at it now! Damn it, I want to slap myself in the face that I didn't apply for this sect that day!"

Sigh!

Some people regretted that they did not choose to join Defeat Heavenly Force from the beginning. Because they thought it was just a new force and could not be compared to the ones that were established long before it. Additionally, the unlimited recruitment posting also made them fear that the force might not be able to pay them the allowance if they got too many people.

But who would have thought that everything would be like this? Many of them had friends who had joined the Defeat Heavenly Force, and these friends now had higher energy levels than theirs. Not only that, they also received advanced Expert Level armor and weapons to use in operations too.

How could this not make them envious and sad? If they could go back in time, they would not hesitate to apply for Defeat Heavenly Force.

However, what everyone did not know was that a large army of dragons was being cultivated within the core area of the force right now. Whenever those dragons grew up and were ready to be the vehicles, Zheng-Fu's Defeat Heavenly Force would become even more formidable and frightening.

Aside from the Heavenly Command Sect young disciples who had gathered together to chat, disciples from other sects that had not yet returned to their sects had also gathered there. Because they wanted to know the background of Zheng-Fu. However, very few people knew about him. since Zheng-Fu rarely appeared in the sect. Moreover, he had become a disciple of the Heavenly Command Sect for only one year. Therefore, very few people know his background.

As for Yi-Lin, now she had become the center of attention among the female disciples from Heavenly Command Sect. In contrast, the young men have no chance because she, as well as her sect sisters, did not talk to any man. So, only young women came to speak to them. And that created a big group of young women that every young man was very interested in.

However, at that exact moment, the Heavenly Flame Demon Deity Sect's situation was different. Because last night, they had lost so many disciples. They originally had more than fifty thousand people, but now there were only half of them left. And most of those who died were Heavenly Star, stage cultivators.

As for the remaining disciples at this stage, some survived because they had to go out and do some tasks outside. And some stayed on the other side of the camp that was least affected. But even so, this incident had a strong impact on their minds.

The general atmosphere was filled with sorrow and along with the condition of the camp, which was almost completely burnt down, it turned the area outside the defensive barrier into Hell on Earth for them.

At the Heavenly Command Sect's main tent...

"Now the four major sects have all returned, Sectmaster!" the middle-aged man in charge of dispatching the four major sects back, reported to Li-Gao in the tent.

"Umm! Did they say anything before they left?" Li-Gao nodded, before asking the middle-aged man.

"No, sir, Sectmaster! They didn't say or ask anything. Besides hurriedly boarding their vehicles and getting out of our sect," the middle-aged man replied. Before he recounted what he observed among the elders of the four sects, "But even though they didn't say anything, I could see their displeased expressions, sir!"

Umm!

"I think they won't let go of what happened. After this, they'll definitely find a way to retaliate for the fact that Zheng-Fu Kid caused them to lose face," Elder Guan-Wu said after he analyzed the middle-aged man's words.

"Hmm! I think the same as Master Elder Guan-Wu. But even then, there's nothing we can do but accept what will happen!" Li-Gao thought the same as Elder Guan-Wu. However, since the matter had already happened, all he had to do was find a solution.

Flop!

"As for that, I think you shouldn't keep it in your mind. I believe they won't dare to trouble our Heavenly Command Sect. Because right now the three major sects are on our side. Moreover, they also obtained the formula for making bamboo stick weapons. After all, those four sects have to think hard about it!"

"Zheng-Fu!!!"

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu opened the tent entrance curtain, before stepping in and spoke with a carefree expression.

"But even so, we have to figure out a way to prepare well. Since our sect only has two Half-Deity stage cultivators. And now the Former Sectmaster is very old, if…"

"Who did you say that is very old? You, damn son!"

But at that time, a powerful and majestic old voice sounded. Before the figure of the white-haired elder with a long white beard quickly soared into the tent and stopped beside Zheng-Fu.

"Father!"

When Li-Gao saw the person who had just appeared, his countenance suddenly turned pale. He did not think that his father or Former Sectmaster would come out of the closed-door cultivation during this time.

"Respect, Former Sectmaster!"

Before anyone could realize it, Zheng-Fu clasped his hands together and politely greeted the elder.

Huh!?

"You also know who I am?" The elder could not help but be stunned, seeing that Zheng-Fu was standing still, not shocked by his presence, and even greeted him naturally.

"Of course, I must know. Because Sectmaster Li-Gao called you 'Father'. Everyone knows that the former Sectmaster is the father of the current Sectmaster," Zheng-Fu replied to the elder immediately with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hah!

Ha ha ha!!!

The elder burst out laughing after being stunned for a moment. Then he stopped laughing and gave Zheng-Fu a delighted smile.

"You must be a young genius named Zheng-Fu, right? Umm! Your appearance is not bad at all. Both your eyesight and your wisdom are excellent. Unlike my son who was never good at anything," the elder said and nodded lightly, greeting Zheng-Fu with compliments, and turned to compare him to his son, Li-Gao.

"Father!"

When Li-Gao heard his father's words, his face turned sour. He was the Sectmaster but his father compared him to a disciple without saving his face at all. Anyway, he could not deny that everything his father said was all true.

"Now, you ungrateful son, do you know why I came here today?" the former Sectmaster asked his son. Before he continued without waiting for the answer, "I'll come to tell you that I have reached the Deity stage!"

"Deity stage!?"

"Deity stage!!!"

Everyone's expressions instantly turned into shock. Because to have someone step up to the Deity stage was very exciting. For hundreds of years, no one in Heavenly Command Sect had been able to reach this level. And when Heavenly Command Sect had an excellent martial Grandmaster at the Deity stage, it would greatly increase their power and strength.

'I'm also wondering why I can't sense this elder's energy level. It's because he's at the Deity stage. But the energy waves around him didn't seem to exist at all. Could it be that these Deity stage cultivators had other energy? Isn't that Heavenly Energy?' Zheng-Fu thought and tried to understand. Because he could not sense the elder's coming at all. Despite the fact that he could sense even the energy of the Half-Deity stage.

"It's a great pleasure, Father! With your energy level now, the war between Heavenly Command Sect and Heavenly Flame Demon Deity Sect would be as easy as…"

"But I think it won't be as easy as you think. I seem to sense that a Deity stage cultivator is heading this way. And I think he's an old demon, their former Sectmaster!" the elder interrupted. He sensed the energy of the Deity stage heading this way. And he was sure that the other party had to be Heavenly Flame Demon Deity Sect's former Sectmaster.

"Really, Father!? They also have the Deity stage martial master?" Li-Gao's delighted expression instantly became panicked and worried.

It was not just Li-Gao who felt that way, others did as well. The joyful smiles on their faces suddenly vanished completely. Because even though their faction had a Deity stage Grandmaster as well, fighting between high-level martial masters was not easy at all. Moreover, this defensive barrier could not resist energy at that level.

"Former Sectmaster, may I know your energy?" But just as everyone had a tense expression, Zheng-Fu spoke up. He wanted to experience the energy of the Deity stage in the elder's body.

Huh!?

"Kid, do you want to know!? If encountering this energy caused you injury, do you still want to experience it?" The elder furrowed his brows, but only for a moment, before he earnestly asked Zheng-Fu.

"Of course, sir! I'd like to know. Even if it's dangerous, I still want to know," Zheng-Fu immediately replied without any hesitation. Even though the elder had warned him.

Umm!

"In that case, I'll allow you to know!"

Grab!

Whooooosh!!!
