"Thank you, Master Elder, for the invitation. My little brother and I may discuss this. If we agree, tomorrow we'll meet you here!" Zheng-Fu was not in a hurry to make a decision yet. Therefore, he did not immediately refuse or accept the Elder's invitation.
"Excellent! It would be great if you agree and want to join our hunting team. We will have more strong young men." The elder was delighted with Zheng-Fu's answer. Even though he did not know the exact answer, it was better than being rejected outright.
"By the way, can I ask Master Elder how many people are on your team right now?" Before they parted ways, Zheng-Fu had thought of something, so he hurriedly asked.
"A member of the team? At this time, including me, there were six people. Two of them are my close comrades. The other three were wanderers like the two of you. But everyone's strength was at an impressive level. I can guarantee that they won't be a burden!" The elder tried to explain everything within the limits he could tell. It was not a direct statement but an analogy for interpretation.
Umm!
"I understand. Once again, thank you, Master Elder, for the invitation," Zheng-Fu said and bowed to Elder. Before the two parted ways and returned to their respective tables.
Thump!
"Big Brother, that Elder seems to only be at the sixth level of the Deity Soul stage. Are we going to join a team with those people? Wouldn't it be quicker and more agile if we acted ourselves?" Ba-Ong asked naively.
"It's true that they are weaker than us. But it's also good for us to be with those people. It'll make it easier for us to act sometimes. Come on! We better keep eating. Your Big Brother hasn't eaten yet! Look, only you ate that much," Zheng-Fu replied. He already had a plan in mind for this matter. But he did not want to explain much right now because there were so many people.
Umm!
"I understand, Big Brother! Besides, I'm starting to get hungry again. The food here is really yummy," Ba-Ong said and nodded obediently before turning his attention back to the food on the table.
After Zheng-Fu and Ba-Ong continued to eat, nothing else happened. When they finished eating, they went back to stay at the tavern. But in the middle of the night, Zheng-Fu came out again. Because he wanted to know something about the people who invited them to join the team.
In a room of another tavern...
"Those two kids are very strong. Are you confident about letting them join our team?" a middle-aged man asked in a worried tone.
"I know what you're worried about. But I'm sure he won't spoil our plans. It's even better that we have more powerful people. Because defeating that demon monster is not easy at all. Besides us, Dharma Sects, there are Demon Sects as well. If only this number of us had to face them, it would be difficult for us to defeat them," replied the elder who talked to Zheng-Fu at the restaurant.
"Yes, I think so too. Because that demon monster is very important to us. It has a magic item from Deity Land in its body. We must get it somehow!" another elder added.
"Anyway, we have to be careful about this matter. Absolutely don't let anyone know. Otherwise, there might be more people coming here than there are now. Now there are quite a few big sects!" another elder sitting in the corner said with a plain face, still staring blankly at the sky.
"Then let's wait and see if those two will join us. If they agree with us, then follow the plan. But if not, then we'll have to find someone else to replace them. Sigh!" the elder who talked to Zheng-Fu said and let out a sigh.
'It's exactly like this. I've wondered why there are so many great skilled masters gathered together here. But it seems that many big sects don't know this yet. That's why only low-rank and medium-rank sects come to this region. And if this matter spreads, surely, it'll be...'
While these people were chatting, Zheng-Fu used a high-level disguise skill to eavesdrop on their conversation. Thus, Zheng-Fu learned the true secret behind the gathering of the great skilled martial masters there. Even now that Zheng-Fu possessed an Identity Mirror, the Deity item, he still wanted to obtain more magic items from Deity Land. But what he wanted more was to get rid of those Demon Sects and Devil Sects.
But eliminating those low-rank and medium-rank sects was worth nothing. Zheng-Fu then came up with a plan to inform every big sect about it. Because if this matter was announced, the big sects would definitely send their people there. Once Zheng-Fu made up his mind, he returned to the tavern and rested.
The next morning...
This morning, everything was fine, and no big deal happened. There were still great skilled martial masters flocking in here. Because of the news that Zheng-Fu had sent to his people to announce, all major and big sects knew it. And they were sending their forces to this village too.
"Big Brother, where did you go last night? I saw that you weren't in your room?" Ba-Ong asked after finishing breakfast at the tavern.
"I went out to get some fresh air. Because I can't sleep," replied Zheng-Fu. He did not tell Ba-Ong the truth. Because the story was quite long and he was too lazy to explain.
"I understand, Big Brother! By the way, where are we going today?" Ba-Ong obediently nodded without further questions about it.
"We're going for a walk. Since the location of that demon monster is still not revealed yet. So, we have time to take a walk in this village," Zheng-Fu thought for a moment before telling Ba-Ong the goal of the day. He still would not do anything because he would wait for the big sects to come first.
"What about joining that old man's team, Big Brother? Aren't you going to go to meet them?"
"Of course, we'll go to see them. But we won't join their team. Because we already have our own goal," Zheng-Fu replied while shaking his head. He had no intention of joining those people. But even so, he had to meet them.
Umm!
Zheng-Fu and Ba-Ong then left the tavern and headed for the restaurant to meet the elder's team, who were waiting for them.
On the second floor of Heavenly Wolf Restaurant...
"We must apologize to Master Elder for declining your invitation. Actually, we already have our goal. Therefore, it's inconvenient to join your team. I hope you don't mind us."
When the elder saw Zheng-Fu and Ba-Ong arrive, he let out a happy smile. But then Zheng-Fu's answer to him made his smile disappear, turning him sad instead.
"It's all right, Little Comrades. We don't blame you. Because everyone has their own goals and errands. We're the ones who apologize for wasting Little Comrades' time. But if both of you don't mind, come join us for a drink and a meal. We're pleased to..."
Huh!
"Just being a little strong but acting arrogant. Even if you guys don't join us, we won't care!" Suddenly, a young man spoke up. He was a fifth-level Deity Soul stage cultivator. And he thought Zheng-Fu and Ba-Ong were only at the initial Deity Soul stage, so he spoke contemptuously.
"Young Master Qian! In fact, two Little Comrades are…"
"Exactly as Brother Qian said! They're just slightly stronger than the average person but dare to be arrogant and refuse to accept our invitation. And will we still welcome people like this to sit with us, Master Elder? Wouldn't it be better to let them go!?"
And before the elder could give any explanations about the strength of the two young men, a young woman next to the young man added contemptuously as well. Although Zheng-Fu's face looked good, he did not emit any energy waves. So, he looked like an ordinary person. While Ba-Ong revealed his energy level only at the initial Deity Soul stage. That made the young man and young woman not know their true levels.
Sigh!
"Big Brother! I don't understand these people at all. Why do they always say something before they know the truth? They dared to brag about themselves even though they were just ants. Just because the lions hid their claws, these ants dared to turn their fangs on them? Huh! How cocky!"
Zheng-Fu did not pay any attention to the words of these two. But Ba-Ong was the City Lord's son. Even though he tried not to be superior to anyone else, he could not help stabbing them back.
Bang!
"What do you say? Who do you say is an ant?" When the young man heard Ba-Ong's words, his face turned ugly. He slammed the table loudly as he stood up and asked Ba-Ong angrily.
"Calm down, Young Master Qian! I think this might be a misunderstanding. I think..."
"Master Elder, you also heard that he called us ants! And you still say it's a misunderstanding?" The young woman did not give up either. She tried to make it a big deal.
"Am I calling you guys ants? When did I say that? Has anyone here heard me say that Young Master Qian is an ant? Not at all! I didn't even call Young Master Qian an ant. How can you accuse me of saying that Young Master Qian is an ant?"
Ba-Ong continued to speak with a naive face, without any worries. However, his words changed everyone's face. Even Zheng-Fu could not believe that Ba-Ong had such great speaking skills. He could indirectly insult the young man named Qian without the other party being able to accuse him.
Ha ha ha!
"That's right! We never heard that Younger Brother say that!"
"I couldn't hear it either. I think you heard it wrong, Young Master Qian!"
"Yes! I think it's more of a misunderstanding!"
Those around them shouted their opinions as soon as Ba-Ong finished speaking. Because they knew well the cursing hidden in Ba-Ong's words. They, therefore, supported Ba-Ong. And that made young man Qian's face even more ugly. Because he had never lost his face like this before. He had always been the favorite of his clan. Even when joining the sect, he was highly praised. He could not take it any longer and shouted loudly as he unleashed an energy wave of killing intent, hoping to crush Zheng-Fu and Ba-Ong.
"You! You! You!"
Boooooooom!!!
