Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Not long after, at the tribe leader's office...

"Master, these are all our youngsters who have achieved success, sir!"

Umm...

"Not bad. They have improved very fast, especially your son. Not only has he become stronger, but his temperament has also changed, becoming calmer and more composed."

Arriving at the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe's village, Zheng-Fu asked the tribe leader to bring out all the outstanding youngsters, of which there were twelve, and among them was his son. Zheng-Fu was very satisfied with their development, especially the tribe leader's sons.

That young man was previously hot-blooded and aggressive, but now he was very calm. He changed into a completely different person, becoming a more handsome and formidable young man.

"Thank you, Master. All of this is because of the Master's help. Without the energy cultivation techniques and fighting skills that Master gave them, they would not have progressed so fast." Long-Che-Dan-Sun felt extremely proud when his son received Zheng-Fu's praise. However, he did not get too cocky because he knew it might displease Zheng-Fu.

"Stop flattering me, I only gave you guys techniques and skills, but you have improved so much because of your hard work and effort." Zheng-Fu knew that he had only helped them with half of it; the other half depended on their efforts, so he did not take the opportunity to take all the credit for himself and turned to ask Huo-Tian, "By the way…, how about your summoned monster beasts? Did they improve?"

He wanted to know because it seemed that they could improve a lot more. And the stronger they were, the more useful they would be to their masters.

"My two summoned monster beasts have improved a lot, sir. Thornback Lightning Wolf is currently at the seventh level of the Deity Monarch Stage, while Lord of the Purple Dragon Serpent is at the eighth level of the Deity Monarch Stage. And they'll probably break through another level soon, sir, Master," Huo-Tian replied with a polite and respectful tone towards Zheng-Fu.

"That's so good! I hope you can become even stronger as well. In the future, you'll be the main force of my Tian-Tang Clan!" Zheng-Fu nodded in satisfaction at the young man's answer before he gave him encouragement and hope.

"Master, please trust me. I'll never let you down!" Huo-Tian clasped his hands together and bowed to Zheng-Fu, making a firm and serious promise.

Good!

"Because of your hard work and loyalty, I'll give you this advanced Heavenly Sword."

Flap!

Blop!

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness!"

Huo-Tian was very happy to receive the sword from Zheng-Fu because the weapon he was using was only an advanced Legendary Level Weapon. Although it was good and easy to use, its level was too low when fighting against someone with a higher level or someone with a high-level weapon.

"As for the other eleven of you, I'll give you the Elementary Heavenly Weapons. You guys can choose which weapon you want." Of course, Zheng-Fu was not partial; he had intended to give the Heavenly Weapons to the rest of the youths, but it would only be the Elementary Heavenly Weapons.

Thank you, sir, Master!!!

The eleven youths thought that they would not receive anything, but when they knew that, they felt very joyful, even though they were only the Elementary Heavenly Weapons, because the Heavenly Weapon was not easy to obtain.

"The three of you don't need to feel upset. I'll give you the Demi-Deity Weapons. Although they're only the Demi-Deity Weapons, they aren't inferior to the one-star Deity Weapons, and if you perform well, in the future, you'll receive other rewards!"

Zheng-Fu knew that to win the hearts of his subordinates, he had to make them happy to be with him. But of course, before they could be happy, they had to work and make achievements first, so that they would know that when they performed well and succeeded, they would be rewarded.

Thank you, Master, for your kindness!

The two Tribe Elders and the Tribe Leader felt no less joyful than the twelve youths. Although the Demi-Deity Weapon was not as excellent as the Deity Weapon, the effects of using them were excellent compared to the advanced Heavenly Weapon.

"All right! Now I have finished my business with you guys. You can disperse to do your own duties. I'll go back and see how my comrade is doing."

Yes, sir, Master!

After finishing his business at the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe Village, Zheng-Fu went back to the front of the ice cave to see how Ma-Ying-Tian was doing. He did not need to go inside since he could sense the situation there with his psychic energy.

"Not bad! In just a short while, she had already adapted to the cold weather and was able to comprehend the initial stage of the Eternal Winter Cultivation Technique. If this continues, she should be able to achieve its first step soon."

Zheng-Fu checked Ma-Ying-Tian's situation; he found that she had made great progress in both her body conditioning and energy cultivation techniques, causing her energy level to leap five levels from the seventh level of the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage to the third level of the Genuine Deity Stage in a short period.

If the people in her clan knew, they would definitely feel envious of Ma-Ying-Tian for being able to develop so quickly. However, this was only the beginning. Whenever she succeeded in the first step of the cultivation technique given by Zheng-Fu, her energy level would rise to the initial Deity Monarch Stage.

Back to the situation outside the dimensional space...

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Young Miss, ma'am!

Young Miss?!

Hah!?

"Why doesn't Young Miss reply?"

"I don't know either! Or is something wrong with Young Miss?!"

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Young Miss, can you hear me?"

"Open the door! Young Miss's safety comes first!"

Umm!

Creak!

Young Miss?!

"Young Miss isn't here. Where did she go? Did they go outside?"

"No, they didn't! I haven't seen them come out since they went in. Or… was Young Miss abducted by that young man?"

Slap!

"What are you thinking? Hah! Don't you know Young Master Zheng-Fu? Saying that the Clan Leader will punish you!"

Err…

"I'm sorry, Master! I really don't know him. I have only been in the tavern and haven't gone out, how would I know who he is?"

Sigh!

"Never mind! But next time, don't say such things. Right now, we still don't know where they've gone. So, send our people to check outside first! Maybe they went out for a walk without you noticing."

Yes, sir, Master!

After Zheng-Fu and Ma-Ying-Tian entered the secret dimensional space, the tavern supervisor, who was a member of the Ma Clan, immediately came to welcome them. However, when he arrived at the reception room, the two of them were no longer there. Even so, he was not afraid of what would happen to them because he had heard some stories about Zheng-Fu from the clan, so he thought that they might have gone out for a walk. Nevertheless, for safety reasons, he ordered his subordinates to go out and check for sure.

Meanwhile, the ten children had already gotten their rooms and the necessary supplies and were only waiting for Zheng-Fu to teach them cultivation. However, one thing that the people of the Ma clan did not realize was that, in addition to them, another person was hiding in the guest room.

'Where did those two go? Even their scents have disappeared. Or is there a special secret room hidden in this room!?'

He was a high-level assassin skilled in the assassination techniques that the Mou Clan had sent to deal with Ma-Ying-Tian. This assassin was sure that Zheng-Fu and Ma-Ying-Tian must have been in the room, but when he entered, he did not see anyone.

'I don't believe that I won't find you two. If there really is a secret room in this room, I'll wait for you here until you come out. Huh! When that time comes, I'll slaughter you and then go back to receive the worthiest wage!'

The assassin was very confident that he would succeed. From the information he received, his targets were no different from the fish in a barrel waiting for him to slaughter. Ma-Ying-Tian, who was at the advanced Heavenly Deity Originate Stage, and Zheng-Fu, at the first level of the Great Deity Stage, had no way of escaping from his clutches, a third-level Great Deity Stage cultivator.

It was just that his targets were not there at that time, so he had to wait for them to come back first. And he was not in a hurry because sooner or later, his mission would be accomplished anyway.

At the Mou Clan headquarters in the temporary camp by the city wall…

"Now that we've lost our lambs and all our plans have been ruined by that damn kid named Zheng-Fu. If the assassin we sent can't deal with Old Ma's daughter and that damn kid..., everything will really be ruined!"

At that moment, Mou Clan Leader felt extremely upset and angry, because his plans had been ruined time and time again by Zheng-Fu. Even though he did not know that the person who took his lambs was Zheng-Fu, he hated and wanted to kill Zheng-Fu so much. Otherwise, he would not have invested a very high price to hire a skilled assassin from the underworld to kill Zheng-Fu and abduct Ma Clan Leader's daughter.

"Clan Leader, don't worry, that assassin is very skilled. From what I have heard, he's never failed once, even though his targets in some cases have higher energy levels than his. Please be patient and wait for the good news!"

"That's right! If we can kill that damn kid, maybe we can learn his secret that can increase energy levels in an instant, sir."

"True! If we can use that secret on our clan, then the Mou Clan won't have to fear anyone anymore!"

Umm…

"Good! You guys are right. If we can get that secret from that damn kid, our clan will be the greatest in this city. No! Not only that! We'll be stronger and greater than other first-tier cities!"

Yes!!!

Clan Leader is so smart!

Clan Leader is the best!

Ha ha ha!!!
