Over The World, Beyond Heaven

In addition to the Men Clan's auction room, there were also movements in the rooms of other major clans. Their underlings, whom they had sent to investigate the backgrounds of the young man from the second-level special room number nine and Zheng Fu, had already reported back.

However, none of the clans had obtained as much information as the Men Clan had. Since they had not sent someone to follow Zheng Fu as the Men Clan's Third Elder had, they did not know who Zheng Fu and the elders who had come with him were. However, if Sang-Long and Guan-Yong were also there, they would immediately know that the young man in the third-level special room number thirty was the Zheng Fu they had met at the Cloud Gazing Hall, which would allow Guan Clan and Sang Clan to have more information than the others.

Back in Zheng Fu's auction room, before the young man from room number nine made his bid...

While listening to the explanation about the most bizarre coffin from the God of Jade Auction House, Zheng Fu and the elder discussed many things, including the issue of getting out of the Testing Tower's tests. When Elder learned that Zheng-Fu had a way to get him out, he begged him to help, to which Zheng-Fu immediately agreed, but he had a condition.

"If you agree, I'll gladly take you out with me. But if you don't, I'm sorry!"

"Aren't there any other conditions? Can you change it?"

The elder tried to negotiate new conditions because he could not accept Zheng-Fu's offer that he wanted him to join his clan and become one of his clan's elders. The elder still had his family and clan to take care of. Even though he had been gone for a long time, he believed that his clan would still be fine and would wait for him to return to make the clan even greater.

"I have told you that if you disagree, I can't do anything. Only those who serve my clan, I can take them out with me," Zheng-Fu firmly refused. To him, this test was about reaping benefits, making merit. So, why would he help the elder get out for free? Perhaps, the elder might even become his enemy once he could leave.

Err...

"I offer the spell orb again."

Hah?!

"Someone has already made a bid. Ah! It's that guy again!"

Zheng-Fu did not want to negotiate with the elder anymore, and at that moment, the young man's voice from room number nine rang out again, making a bid, so Zheng-Fu took this opportunity to change the topic.

Sigh…

The elder could only sigh when he saw that Zheng-Fu still insisted on the original terms without leniency. But since he could not accept it, he could only give in with a sad face.

"It seems that this man is not ordinary. The fact that he's willing to offer the Fragments of the Demon Deity's Memories shows that he knows what that bizarre coffin is."

Zheng-Fu assessed the young man who owned the spell orb. He was certain that the young man must have known the details and background of that coffin well, so he was determined to get it. As for himself, he could not even figure out what it was or what it could be used for. Even the major clans of the Demon Race, who had a deeper knowledge of this Eternal Continent than him did not make a move on this coffin. But the young man hurried to bid before anyone else, and it was a price too high for any major clans to compete with.

"What about you? Aren't you interested?" The elder asked Zheng-Fu with a curious tone and intently waited for an answer. He thought that Zheng-Fu was probably someone who liked to collect strange items, but he did not think that Zheng-Fu had the wealth to compete with the young man.

"No. I don't know what this coffin can do. Besides, I can't help but feel goosebumps when I see it. If I bid on it, I'm afraid that I'll be unlucky!" Zheng-Fu shook his head and immediately refused. Although that coffin was interesting, he would rather not touch it. Inferno Demon Deity's Reincarnated Medium Jade alone had caused him enough trouble.

Umm!

The elder was quite surprised that Zheng-Fu refused so completely. But seeing that Zheng-Fu had made up his mind, he did not bother to urge Zheng-Fu to bid on the coffin, because he also did not know what it could be used for.

Since no one bid, the auction house manager announced the young man from room number nine as the winner. Before he announced the closing of the auction.

Of course, even though the auction had ended, the people who had attended had not left yet, especially the major clans and the powerful people. They opened a special private room to discuss the identity of the young man from special auction room number nine, including Zheng-Fu and the elders, while the three of them remained in the auction house to handle the exchange of items.

In a special reception room...

"I didn't expect you all to want to know about them too," Men Clan's Highest Elder spoke in a deep voice among the elders of major clans and other powerful groups who joined the conversation.

"Master Elder Men, you know how important Inferno Demon Deity's Reincarnated Medium Jade is. Even your Men Clan, who got the scroll of Half-Great Deity Skill, wanted to know their true identity," one of Wu-Qing Clan's elders spoke after hearing Men Clan's Highest Elder's words.

"That's right. Even your Men Clan, which has obtained such a valuable treasure, is interested in this matter. Then how can we, who have not obtained any good items, let it go?" a middle-aged man who was almost fifty years old added. He was one of the Bei Clan elders who had been assigned to participate in the auction. But to be honest, that would not be quite right, because, in reality, he was only ordered to see who won the auctions.

"What about you, Guan Clan and Sang Clan? Normally, you don't care about this kind of thing. Why are you interested this time?" Men Clan's Highest Elder suddenly turned to ask the two elders from Guan Clan and Sang Clan in a teasing tone mixed with slight sarcasm. Since these two clans usually did not participate in such activities with other clans at all, this was so strange that he had to turn to ask.

"Our Guan Clan is not participating in this meeting with any malicious intent. We just want to know who they are." The elder from the Guan Clan replied before continuing, "You all know that our continent is in danger. They might be disguised demon monster beasts. That's why I joined to investigate the facts."

"Our Sang Clan is the same. We just want to know if they're spies from the demon monster beasts. We all already know that they'll do everything they can to harm us. Isn't it better to be safe than sorry?" The elder from the Sang Clan replied. His reasoning was no different from the Guan Clan's elder.

Umm!!!

When everyone heard their answers, they nodded in understanding. However, many people lowered their heads in embarrassment because the only reason they came to discuss was to find out Zheng-Fu's information so that they could take action to snatch the Inferno Demon Deity's Reincarnated Medium Jade from him.

"If that's the case, that's good. I think the same as you guys. I feel that both the people in special room number nine and number thirty are suspicious. Let's think of a way to find out their true identities. What do you all think? But we have to hurry because they won't be here long," Men Clan's Highest Elder said with a sly smile, asking everyone there to help find out the true identities of Zheng-Fu and the young man in room number nine.

"I think we should capture them and interrogate them!"

Hah?!

"Isn't that too harsh? Besides, they didn't do anything wrong."

"Then follow them and see what they do and where they go?"

Umm...

"That's a good idea. But do you think they won't know? From what I can see, neither of them is inferior in strength to us."

That's right!

"Or should we invite them to a banquet? If we can invite them to the banquet we're hosting and use our Bei Clan's magic item called the 'Bloodline Verification Amulet' to examine them, then we'll know immediately if they're really demon monster beasts in disguise. And if they're… Hu hu!" Bei Clan's elder suggested that they hold a banquet and invite Zheng-Fu and the young man from room number nine to attend. He said that he would use Bei Clan's magic item that could examine the bloodlines of the two to find out the truth about who they were. However, in reality, he intended to do something more than that, but he did not say it all.

Umm!

That's not a bad idea!

"Doing that is fine. So that we won't force them."

"Also, they would be in our territory. If they really are demon monster beasts in disguise, then we'll just kill them."

That's right!

"I agree with this idea!"

"I agree too!"

"Me too!"

Many people agreed with the Bei Clan's elder. However, some disagreed, especially Men Clan's Highest Elder. He knew that it was not that simple. Since the Bei Clan sacrificed their magic item, there was no way they would not demand compensation for the investment. Therefore, if it were found that the two young men were really demon monster beasts, almost all of the items seized from them might belong to the Bei Clan.

"What do you think, Master Elder Men? Do you agree with my method?" Bei Clan's elder seemed to know what Men Clan's Highest Elder was thinking, so he specifically asked them to pressure him into accepting his idea.

Erm…

"If everyone agrees, then I agree. After all, there's no better way than this. However, I'm afraid that your Bei Clan will suffer unnecessary losses if it's found that they are Demon Races." The Highest Elder knew that he had no choice, so he agreed, but he did not forget to give a meaningful warning.

"Master Elder Men, don't worry. "We, the Bei Clan, are always ready to make sacrifices to protect our race. As long as they're not demon monster beasts, that's enough!"

Of course, Bei Clan's elder knew the consequences if the outcome did not go as he had predicted. However, he was confident that he was right and that it would not have any negative effects on his clan.

Umm...
