After Zheng-Fu greeted many unknown people, it was time for tonight's banquet to come. The four clan leaders took turns coming up to talk about various matters. Whether it was about events that had happened or general matters within and around the city. And finally, it was about Zheng-Fu who helped Comrade City get out of this terrible crisis.

"And on this great occasion, we as representatives of Comrade City would like to thank Little Comrade Zheng-Fu for helping us by organizing this thank you banquet. And we hope that we'll be good comrades to each other forever, like the name of our city!"

Yay! Yay! Yay!

Shouts of joy rang out after Fei-Shi-Fei's words of thanks ended. The banquet then proceeded. It included various performances, whether it was a young woman's dance show or local musical instrument performances, and many more.

"Little Comrade, do you really intend to leave tonight? You should probably stay one more night. Traveling at night is dangerous," the Furious Dragon Clan Leader, who was sitting at the table with Zheng-Fu, said, staring at Zheng-Fu slyly.

"I'm used to traveling like this. Because I often camp in the forest, I'm always able to sense danger and escape before I encounter it. Furious Dragon Clan Leader, don't worry," Zheng-Fu turned and smiled at the other party before speaking modestly.

Umm!

"I also agree with Master Long-Qi-Hao. I think you should stay here one more night and then continue on your journey tomorrow morning. Anyway, if you really feel uncomfortable staying, we won't hold you back. Otherwise, we might offend you. But if you change your mind, we're willing to provide you with good accommodations!" the Elephant Bear Clan Leader hurriedly added upon seeing that Furious Dragon Clan Leader was rejected. And his gaze was no different from the Furious Dragon Clan Leader's at all.

'These guys! Do you think I'm just a little kid who's been through the world for a short time, so you didn't hide your malicious gaze in the slightest!' Zheng-Fu could not help but shake his head at these people's audacity to reveal their intent so openly.

"I have thought it over and made a decision, Clan Leader Chong-Ge-Bo. Nothing can change my mind. Even if there are any traps or demon armies outside the city, I'm not afraid. However, I have to thank you two for being concerned about me." Zheng-Fu knew the other party's intentions. But he still hid it and pretended not to know. Because he wanted to know what the other party would do to him.

"Don't be considerate. We're already comrades, right?" The Elephant Bear Clan Leader smiled and answered as if nothing had happened.

"Little Comrade, if you feel uncomfortable, would it be a good idea to have Emerald Wolf Clan's people accompany you? At least they know the route around this two hundred li radius very well. I can assure you that you will travel safely and without worry. Plus, you don't have to worry about traps along the way," Fei-Shi-Fei interjected. He also sensed a strange atmosphere.

"Thank you very much, Clan Leader Fei-Shi-Fei, for your kindness. But I can travel alone. Besides, I'm not traveling alone. I have three other traveling companions whose energy levels are stronger than mine. Right now, the three of them are handling some missions and will return after this party is over. That's why I have to leave tonight," Zheng-Fu rejected Fei-Shi-Fei's good wishes, along with telling him about his companions. He just did not tell the truth that the three of them were with him all the time in his dimensional space. And the missions mentioned were dealing with Monkey Hou-Jie.

Hah!?

"You have companions!? And you're saying that they're stronger than you! So, that's mean..." Scarlet Fire Bird Clan Leader's ears suddenly twitched. He immediately realized that if Zheng-Fu's companions were stronger than him, those three had to have been at the Deity stage.

It was not only the Scarlet Fire Bird Clan Leader who was startled, but also the other three major clan leaders and other clan leaders. Even the guests at the banquet were interested and wanted to know as well.

"Yes, all three of them have stronger energy levels than me," but Zheng-Fu only said this.

Ah!

Seeing that Zheng-Fu did not want to talk, the Scarlet Fire Bird Clan Leader did not ask further, in order not to lose manners.

The banquet finally came to the final show. It was a show of maneuvers by the young generation of the city. They all were from clans or forces participating in the banquet.

"This next performance has been specially arranged for you, Little Comrade Zheng-Fu. I hope you like it," said Elder Shi-Kong, sitting beside Zheng-Fu. Throughout the banquet, he explained many things to Zheng-Fu.

Even though he said that this special maneuver was for Zheng-Fu, in reality, those who benefited more were the various clans. Because those who win in maneuvers would gain a reputation for being superior to their opponents from other clans. And their clan would also gain fame. This was the reason why the leaders and important people of each clan were very excited and enthusiastic.

"Hmm, that's good. I want to know as well how strong the youths here are," Zheng-Fu replied with a nod. Because he could not deny it, whether he wanted to watch it.

But while he was glancing around, his eyes fell on three young men and two young women sitting at a table far away. These five youths were all staring at him as if they were security cameras.

'Why are those five youths staring at me? Hah! The auras they gave off did not belong to humans. I never thought that there would be people from the Demon Sect and Devil Sect in this city. I thought the city's inspections were excellent. But I was wrong. Huh! The maneuver tonight must be fun!'

Zheng-Fu smiled playfully at the corners of his mouth as he thought about it. With members from the Demon Sect and Devil Sect joining like this, something was definitely going to happen. He just did not know what they wanted to do. However, he was not afraid of them at all. He ignored the stares of the five youths and turned to speak to the elder.

"Master Elder Shi-Kong!"

Hah!?

"Little Comrade Zheng-Fu, what's the matter?"

"I want to know what the people of Comrade City think if you guys meet people from the Demon Sect and Devil Sect in the city?" Zheng-Fu shot out a broad question first.

"We won't definitely let them go back alive. But that's impossible, Little Comrade. Because Comrade City has the demon and devil detection tools. As soon as they set foot in this city, they would be captured. But why did you ask this?" The elder immediately answered confidently. Before he asked back with doubt.

"I just want to know. And if you meet them at this banquet, what are you going to do with them?" Zheng-Fu smiled slightly before asking further specifically.

Hah!?

The elder did not answer this question immediately. He was slightly stunned before gradually glimpsing around the banquet seriously. Then he turned back to Zheng-Fu.

"If we see them here, we must prepare ourselves," the elder replied, but his answer hinted at a question of whether it was true.

"Then that's great! There will definitely be something fun tonight!" Zheng-Fu understood the elder's implication. So, he answered with a hint as well.

Ah!

When the answer came back that there really were people from the Demon Sect and Devil Sect at the banquet, the elder was ready to send a message to the clan leaders of his side. But before the elder could send the message, Zheng-Fu spoke up softly.

"If there are worms in the food, it probably won't be very appetizing. It would be best to check first. Or if you can't check it in time, eat only the parts that are likely to be safe!" As Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he smiled at the elder before using his chopsticks to scrabble about the duck meat in the dish.

Of course, the elder could understand what Zheng-Fu wanted to convey. Therefore, he thought that he should inform only his clan leader and the Scarlet Fire Bird Clan Leader, who were on the same side. As for the other two clan leaders, who were untrustworthy persons, he should not tell them. Before, he could see that the two leaders looked strange when they looked at Zheng-Fu.

After the elder thought carefully, he did not hesitate to inform his clan leader through his personal communication jade.

Immediately, Fei-Shi-Fei turned to look at Zheng-Fu with a somewhat worried expression. And when he saw Zheng-Fu's serious gaze returning, he understood that Zheng-Fu was not joking. Everything was true.

He then reported the matter to the Scarlet Fire Bird Clan Leader and also told him not to tell the other two clan leaders and the others, to prevent the other party from realizing it first. As for who the target was, they still did not know because Zheng-Fu had not specified it yet.

"Good evening, everyone! I'm the representative that the four major clan Leaders have chosen to judge tonight's maneuver. I'll do this duty to the best of my ability and with the utmost impartiality. And this maneuver is merely to find the winner. You must never kill your opponent. As long as you can make them surrender or drop out of the arena, it's considered a win.

"And so as not to waste any more time. Let's start with the first maneuver pair. The young generations from the Crescent Rabbit Clan and the Fire Lizard Clan, please enter the arena!"

Yay! Yay! Yay!

Woohoo!!!

For the opening pair, the maneuver was not started by the members from major clans or famous clans. But they were the lowest-level clans that participated in the banquet. If the major clans or the famous clans were to maneuver in the early rounds, the maneuver would lose its fun before it reached the turn of the lower-level clans.

When the young generations of the two clans were announced, the two young half-monsters immediately went up to the arena.

Flap! Flap!

"Start the maneuver!"
