Chapter 1117 - 1117: The First Enemy
"You heard right. Besides the two of you, I'm also thinking of adopting all of your brothers and sisters at the orphanage. If you're willing to become a part of my clan, I can guarantee that your future will definitely be better, whether it be in wealth or power. And you'll also be able to cultivate in a place filled with dense energy!" Zheng-Fu repeated the advantages they would receive in the future once more for the two siblings to hear clearly.
Ah!
Zheng-Fu's proposal made the two siblings' hearts pound wildly. Previously, they both thought that this was a very nice place to live. It would be great if they could stay there. And now that opportunity had arrived. Moreover, their three thousand brothers and sisters at the orphanage would also have this opportunity.
"Are you telling the truth, Young Master Zheng-Fu?" the young woman asked again with expectant eyes.
"Certain! I'm telling the truth. As for me, who is loyal and honest, I'll never let them suffer. So, do the two of you agree?" Zheng-Fu said firmly with a smile, reassuring the young woman.
"This matter…"
The young woman wanted to agree immediately, but she stopped and turned to look at her elder brother to see if he agreed. The young man looked at her as if wanting to ask her opinion as well. Both of them were confused and did not know what decision they should make.
"I'll give you one day to decide. When you guys make up your mind, come tell me. But let me tell you first that not just anyone can become a part of my clan. No matter how talented or powerful a person is, I won't accept them if I'm not satisfied. All right! I'll have someone take you to your rooms. When you have the answer, come tell me!"
Zheng-Fu knew that such a matter could not be decided immediately, so he gave the two of them another day to think. And when he had no further questions for the siblings, he called a young golden monkey to take the two of them to rest and keep an eye on them so that he could come to report to him when they had made up their minds.
Thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu!
After that, Zheng-Fu left the manor again to explore the surrounding area in case he could find a suitable place to relocate the ancient gate.
A few minutes passed, inside the living room where the two siblings were staying…
"Yi-Fei, do you think that he told the truth that he wanted to adopt all three thousand orphans?" Entering the guest room, the young man immediately asked his younger sister.
"I think he's telling the truth. I looked at his eyes, and he didn't appear to be lying. Moreover, I noticed that fewer than two hundred people were living in this manor. And most of them were from the Golden Monkey Race, who used to own this valley. From his statement that his clan was newly founded, there's a possibility that he really wants all the orphans," the young woman replied after thinking and analyzing everything that had happened.
Umm!
"So, Big Brother, do you think we should accept his invitation?" the young woman asked her elder brother for his opinion. She thought that joining Zheng-Fu's clan would be quite good. Because she liked Zheng-Fu's warm demeanor. Also, that place was very good.
"It's difficult to answer. They're currently having a conflict with Lion Race. You also know how strong and cruel the Lion Race is. If we agree to join his clan, won't we have to suffer as well?" The thing that worried the young man the most and prevented him from making a decision was this matter. He knew how strong those people were. Even the Cloud Valley City Lord clan could not do anything except let go of some of the troubles they caused.
"But I don't think this should be a problem. Judging from Young Master's relaxed expression, it doesn't seem like he is afraid of the Lion Race at all. Maybe he has secret cards that can be used to deal with people from the Lion Race. Big Brother, moreover, we probably won't have a chance to wait to know for sure whether he'll be able to survive this crisis. Because we only have one day to answer him!" The young woman was also worried about that matter at first. But when she saw that Zheng-Fu did not seem bothered and did not care about the Lion Race at all, she thought that Zheng-Fu must have had a plan already.
Umm!
"I think so too. But I still hesitate. Sigh!" The young man also noticed the same, but he still felt uncomfortable about it.
"Then let's use the remaining time to think carefully, Big Brother. Right now, I really want to take a bath. I'll excuse myself first!" The young woman had nothing more to say. Because no matter what her elder brother decided, she would respect it and follow it. But first, she felt tired and wanted to cleanse herself.
"You go! I'll sit and cultivate energy because the energy in this room is very dense. If I absorb and cultivate the energy here, my energy level will probably advance to another level soon!" The young man nodded to his younger sister. He then sat on his bed and began cultivating energy by absorbing the dense energy in that room, which was twice as dense as outside.
In an area outside Beyond Earth-Defeat Heaven Valley…
Under a large tree two hundred li from the valley entrance, a group of nearly thirty people dressed in black stood together. Each of them was a cultivator at the Genuine Deity Stage. The strongest person was already at the ninth level. The next two people were at the eighth level. The rest of them were at the sixth level down to the third level.
"Chief, the sorcerer sent by Grand Elder has arrived. And everything you commanded to prepare is ready, sir." A black-robed man came to report to the chief of their group in a respectful and humble tone. He pointed at a middle-aged sorcerer who was slowly walking out of the darkness.
"Respect, Elder Kou! I never thought that it would be you who was sent to help us. Then I must entrust my group to you!" The black-robed men's chief looked at the newly arrived sorcerer. Before he found out that he knew that sorcerer. So, he hurriedly clasped his hands together and greeted him politely, humbly, and friendly.
"Chief Gong-Sun praises me too much. I'm only a four-star sorcerer. So, I'm not sure if I can do anything with those people's defensive curtain and tactical formations!" The middle-aged man replied with a polite smile. Because he also knew the black-robed men's chief. Although they were not very close, they had worked together before. So, it was easy to talk and work together again.
"Elder Kou, don't be so humble. There are only a few four-star sorcerers besides you in this area. Most of them are under strong forces. And everyone is held in high esteem and respect. And how can you let me not praise you?" Of course, the black-robed chief was not exaggerating at all. A four-star sorcerer is even more difficult to find than a four-star apothecary because understanding many complex spell characters was not an easy task at all. Therefore, they were accepted and respected by people more than anyone else.
Ha ha ha!
"Never mind about that! By the way, what are your plans? I heard that their defensive curtain is very strong. Even the Genuine Deity Stage cultivator couldn't break through. And do you have the confidence to escort me inside to solve the enemy's tactical formation?"
The sorcerer immediately changed the topic of conversation because he still had important work to do. He had a study of a spell that had been obtained from an ancient ruin. And from looking at those spell characters, he could tell that the spell was definitely a Heavenly Spell or higher level. Therefore, he wanted to quickly finish his mission and return to his studies. Because if he could learn and understand that spell, he would be able to raise his sorcerer level even higher.
"I sent people to look around the valley to see if there are any spots with weak defensive energy waves. We found that there's an area where the defensive energy is weaker than others. Throughout the area, if anyone encroaches more than one ping (three meters), they will be immediately counterattacked by defensive curtains. But at the spot I mentioned, someone could walk further than three pings before being countered. So, I think we might have a chance if we can get into that position!"
The black-robed chief took out a map of Beyond Earth-Defeat Heaven Valley that his men had roughly sketched and pointed out the location to the sorcerer. It was where the two siblings from the orphanage had sneaked in. And the reason why that position was so vulnerable and poorly protected was because of the magic item that the two siblings used.
Umm!
"Good! If you think you've found the entrance, then let's get started!" Sorcerer Kou nodded lightly before telling the black-robed chief to start their work immediately. Because he was confident that Chief Gong-Sun would definitely not disappoint him.
"Calm down, Master Elder Kou! We can't do it right now because it's still too bright. We'd better wait for it to get dark before taking action!" The black-robed chief immediately rejected Sorcerer Kou. They could not take action at that time because there were so many people watching. Therefore, he thought of waiting for the sky to get dark first. Because darkness would help conceal their identity better than daylight.
Umm… Then that's fine!
Sorcerer Kou hesitated and was a little displeased when he heard that. But in the end, he had to accept and do as the black-robed chief said. Because doing it during the daytime was really too risky. If the enemy found out and a fight broke out, they could be at a disadvantage because they did not know what cards their opponent had in their hands. Especially the tactical formations that were still hidden.
"So, we'll wait until night. Now let's go back and rest!" The black-robed chief felt bad seeing Sorcerer Kou's displeased expression. However, he had to think of safety first. At least during the night, they would be better able to handle everything if an emergency came up. Because their skills would work best in the dark.
All right!
