Over The World, Beyond Heaven

"What do you say? Will you accept my offer or die here?"

What Zheng-Fu wanted was for the two of them to accept his proposal. But if they refused, he would have to kill them and use the method of swallowing their memories and energy instead.

"If the task you want us to do is really related to our mission, then I'll accept your offer!" Meng-Wu replied. He had no choice but to agree. He then turned to say to his comrade, "Meng-Zan, you should accept Elder Master's offer. At least it'll save our lives and we'll also be able to complete our mission."

Meng-Wu, you...!

The two of them were actually cousins and had worked together on many missions, so they were very close and cared deeply for each other. When his relative said that, the young demon named Meng-Zan had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and embarrassment.

"All right! I accept your offer too!"

Good!

"Then you guys swallow these pills."

Blop!

Flap! Flap!

Gulp! Gulp!

When the two young demons accepted, Zheng-Fu did not hesitate to hand each of them a pill. And the two took them without any objection.

"The pills I gave you are called 'Like Hell After a Month', and their properties are as their name suggests. Anyone who takes it and does not receive the antidote within a month will feel as if they have fallen into the deepest level of hell, which is extremely torturous and cruel. I must warn you, don't use an antidote that is not its direct antidote, because it'll only accelerate the effects of the pill. And I'm sure that in this world, besides me, no one else has this antidote!"

Zheng-Fu did not want to intimidate the two of them, but he had to warn them first so that they would not make mistakes and disobey him.

Huh!!!

No matter how serious Zheng-Fu was and how scary it sounded, the two young men did not believe it. They were confident that they could find the antidote, but it might take some time. However, even if they did not believe it, they did not dare to do anything to Zheng-Fu. Because if they could not find the antidote within a month, they would still have a chance to receive the antidote from him, so they had to play the role that Zheng-Fu wanted first.

"We understand, Elder Master. Then what's the task you want us to do?" Meng-Wu asked. He was good at negotiations that required tact and decision-making. While Meng-Zan was not good at talking, he let his cousin talk to Zheng-Fu.

"The task I want you to do is very simple. You just go back to where you came from, and after seven days, you must report to your Minister that Zi Clan is not a Demon Race, but a Human Race who disguised themselves, with Ma Clan as an accomplice in this. Then you guys must stall for another seven days, not letting the capital send any orders to this city. That's all, can you guys do it?"

Umm!!!

Is that all, sir?

The two of them expected that the task Zheng-Fu wanted them to do would be difficult, but it turned out to be very easy. They barely had to do anything. But because it was too easy, they thought Zheng-Fu would not order them to do just that. So, Meng-Wu asked again.

"Yes! That's all I want you to do. What do you say…? Can you do it?!"

Umm!!!

"This task is very easy. We can do it for you. Then, when will we get the antidote if we succeed?"

Meng-Wu had planned to return to the capital as soon as possible, but he never thought that they would return so soon. However, in order for Zheng-Fu not to know his purpose and desire, he pretended to ask about the antidote.

"You guys don't have to worry about that. Once you finish the task, I'll have someone deliver the antidote to you in the capital. Or you can come here and get them yourself. It's up to you!" Zheng-Fu smiled at the corner of his mouth as he replied,

'Huh! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? At first, you seemed like a very hard person to figure out. But when you lacked composure and calm, I could easily figure you out.'

Zheng-Fu could see through his desires as soon as Meng-Wu flashed an unusual look in his eyes as he spoke to him. That alone was enough for him to tell that the young demon had something shady in mind, and it might be about the antidote.

All right!

"Once the task is done, we'll come here to get the antidote from you. Well, we'll go back to our duties first!" Meng-Wu smiled secretly as well, not knowing that Zheng-Fu already knew what he was thinking.

Umm!

"Then go ahead, I still have things to do around here!"

Zheng-Fu did not care what they were going to do next. Since the two of them wanted to go, he wanted them to leave quickly. If they stayed there, his plan to deal with the demon monster beasts in the tunnels would definitely fail. In fact, it might already be too late because the two young demons had already killed the guards protecting the entrance of that tunnel. That might alert the demon monster beasts and make them change their attack plan.

Yes, sir, Elder Master!

Blop!

Whooooosh!!!

Flap! Flap!

Hah!

"Dimensional Gate?!"

After the negotiation was over, Meng-Wu took out an item and threw it onto the ground. Suddenly, a dimension gap split open, and the two disappeared into it. That dimension gap looked very much like Zheng-Fu's Heavenly Dimensional Gate. Moreover, the energy and aura it emitted were almost exactly the same.

"I didn't expect them to have such a good item. It seems that the Demon Race Royal Family has many valuable items! Or should I pay them a visit and inherit their treasures before I go back?"

When Zheng-Fu saw Meng-Wu's magic treasure, greed immediately arose in his heart. But he did not just want Meng-Wu's treasure; he wanted all the treasures of the Demon Dynasty of the Eternal Continent. Because if those treasures fell to him, not only would it reduce the strength of the Demon Races, but it would also give the remaining Human Races in that continent a chance to liberate themselves.

"Ah! What am I thinking? Why am I such a good person!? All I did was for humanity and the safety of the Human Race. I really didn't do it for personal needs!"

Although Zheng-Fu said that he was not wrong and did not want to gain benefits for himself, his face did not say so. If anyone saw him, they would all think that Zheng-Fu was even more vicious than the demons.

"All right! Now, I should take care of the corpses of the guards at the tunnel entrance. Otherwise, it won't go according to my plan, and it'll delay my mission even more!"

Zheng-Fu thought that he had wasted enough time, so he quickly carried out his plan, which was to place the bomb talismans in all the tunnels that the demon monster beasts had dug.

Inside the dimension space that Meng-Wu and Meng-Zan had entered…

"Meng-Wu, are we really going to let this matter go like this? If anyone finds out, won't the two of us be laughed at?" Meng-Zan felt extremely dissatisfied and ashamed that they had to submit to Zheng-Fu like that.

"Then what can we do? Do you think our lives or your honor are more important? If we can't survive, even if we don't lose face, we won't be praised. Besides, we didn't completely lose our benefits. The task he gave us was the mission that we had to do anyway. If it were another task, do you think we would have time to seek the antidote? So…, this is good enough."

Meng-Wu knew that his cousin was dissatisfied, and he felt the same way. But at that time, what else could they do but give up and save their lives?

Huh!

"I'm really hurt! If we can cure this poison soon, I'll go back and get my revenge on that bastard. Just wait and see!" Meng-Zan tried to calm down, knowing that even if he was angry and cursed at that man, it did not help, just as his cousin said.

"That's right! That guy will die anyway. No one who did this to us can survive. It's just that now is not the time!"

The next day, on the city wall, at the defense line against the demon monster beast hordes…

"Little Comrade, are the demon monster beasts really going to invade our city today?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure they are. They've already finished digging those secret tunnels underground. They won't waste any time!"

So..., we

"Don't worry, you just watch the show I have prepared. By the way, what about my proposal? Have you got your answer yet?"

Umm!

"I have an answer for you. Ma Clan also thought the same. But can we give you an answer after the war with the demon monster beast hordes ends first?"

Hah!?

"Hmm, all right! Because everything will end today."

Umm!

Yesterday, after finishing setting up the bomb talismans in the demon monster beast's secret tunnels and making sure that they would not change their plans, Zheng-Fu returned to the city. He waited until morning to send a message to Zi-Dong-Lei, telling him that the demon monster beast hordes would invade Demon's Hill City today. So, this morning, Zi-Dong-Lei and important members of Zi Clan immediately came to the city wall, which was the defense line against the demon monster beast hordes.

Aside from Zi Clan, Ma Clan also came. As for the other clans, they did not know about it, so they did not bring their forces to join at first. However, because of the movements of Zi Clan and Ma Clan, they became alert and started sending people to investigate what was going on. Why did the two major clans, one of which was the clan of the City Governor, bring their forces to the city wall?
