Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Two days passed...

After two days of the great battle that took place in Black Rock City, everything that needed to be organized began to fall into place. All the power of the city had already fallen under the control of the Human Race. The current City Governor at that time was Lin Jun. Because Zheng Fu had to recuperate and did not want to be the City Governor, he gave this position to Lin Jun. He also assigned important positions to other important people, such as Hong-Zhuan-Che, Hong Clan Leader, in charge of the economy, and Du-Bu-Pai, Du Clan Leader, in charge of the security system. Moreover, many other people were assigned positions and duties to be responsible according to the appropriateness and ability of those people.

Everyone was someone who had joined the plan and helped Zheng Fu from the beginning, except for Du-Bu-Pai, who had received a big position without doing anything. That was because of Du-Bu-Pai's abilities, and the others accepted this because they knew Du-Bu-Pai well.

In the past two days, many things had happened in the three cities that were without rulers. Especially Thorn Forest City and Stream Cloud City, both were attacked by multiple forces and were occupied, and their rulers changed. As for Tiger Sword City, it was still able to resist invasion because the city commanders and important persons worked together to protect the city. However, it was predicted that it would not be long before this city suffered the same fate as the other two cities.

In addition to the incidents in the three cities, there was also the matter of the Hunter Guild, Sun Moon Forest Branch. The Hunter Guild president, Liang Zhong, ordered the guild to be moved to Black Rock City. However, the new building would take time to build, so the Hunter Guild would remain in the original location until the new guild building was completed. As for the new location of the guild, it was the old area of the Xie Clan that had moved out of the city.

In Zheng Fu's room…

Phew!!!

"My energy is stable now! I never thought that the higher the energy level, the longer it would take to balance the energy. So, if the energy level increased during the battle, it wouldn't be good. In the future, I'll have to be very careful about this!"

Since Zheng-Fu had advanced to the ninth level of the Deity Monarch Stage, he felt that balancing his energy had become much slower. Previously, it used to take him a short time, but now it took him days to do it. Therefore, Zheng-Fu thought that in the future, he would have to be careful about this, especially when fighting someone he could not win.

"By the way, how is everything in the city right now? Nothing probably happened, right?"

Then, Zheng-Fu thought about the current situation in Black Rock City. After returning to his room in Lin Clan, he did not go out at all because he was busy balancing his energy. When the energy balance was complete, he wanted to know what had happened.

Creeeaaak!!!

Flap!

"Respect, Senior Master Zheng-Fu, you come out!"

As soon as Zheng-Fu opened the door, a young man who was guarding the door stood up and humbly and respectfully bowed to him.

"No need to be so polite. Take it easy!" No matter how many times, Zheng-Fu still could not get used to being called 'Senior Master'. Because he was a simple and easy-going person. But when he saw the other party's gaze, he did not want to hinder the other party's intentions, so he just told the young guard to act normally.

"I can't do that, sir! Because of you, we can regain our freedom and live with the dignity of humans once again. Do you know how happy our Black Rock City is now? People don't have to fear being oppressed by the Demon Race anymore. We can live as humans should. It's all because of you alone, Senior Master Zheng-Fu. How can I not respect you!"

The young guard kept praising Zheng-Fu. He admired and respected Zheng-Fu very much. The way he looked at Zheng-Fu was no different from a child looking up to their idol and wanting to emulate them.

Umm…

"Then how is the situation now? Has anything bad happened?" Zheng-Fu did not want to interrupt the young man's happiness, but if he let him continue talking, it would take a long time. So, he cut off the conversation by asking about the current situation in Black Rock City instead.

"Nothing bad happened to Black Rock City these past two days, sir. However, Thorn Forest City and Stream Cloud City have been occupied by other forces. And Tiger Sword City will definitely be occupied soon. Furthermore, we captured the former Black Rock City Governor's bastard nephew the other day when he was about to escape from the city. He was now imprisoned. Clan Lead… err… City Governor has ordered me to inform you about this matter, and wait for you to go and deal with that guy yourself, sir!"

The young guard immediately replied to Zheng-Fu. He was constantly gathering information so that when Zheng-Fu came out, he would be able to answer his questions without any hesitation.

"Thank you very much! Then go back and rest. I'll handle that matter myself!" Zheng-Fu thanked the young guard with a smile. He really liked that young man. Even though he was younger than the other party, that young man had always shown him respect. Therefore, Zheng-Fu thought he would repay him when he had some free time.

Yes, sir, Senior Master!

After talking to the young guard, Zheng-Fu headed toward Lin Clan's main hall. But when he arrived, he found that Lin-Jun was not there. Because Lin-Jun had become the City Governor, he had moved to the City Governor's residence instead. Seeing that, Zheng-Fu went to see Lin-Jun there.

Half an hour later, at the Black Rock City Governor's residence...

"Finally, everything is settled. I never thought that a City Governor's work would be this much!" Lin-Jun complained after he finished dealing with the documents. He looked tired as if he had not slept for days, and the rims of his eyes were very dark.

"Isn't it normal, Master City Governor?"

Ah!?

Master!

Suddenly, a voice that sounded familiar to Lin-Jun came from behind. When he turned around, he saw that the person who spoke was Zheng-Fu. He quickly greeted him and ran towards Zheng-Fu with an excited expression.

"Why don't you have someone tell me first that you're coming here? So that I can prepare the reception!" Lin-Jun no longer called Zheng-Fu 'Young Master' but instead called him 'Master'. Because he had accepted and chosen to serve Zheng-Fu and also considered the Lin Clan to be part of Zheng-Fu's rule.

"It's fine! I'm not someone who likes to be formal or make a big deal out of it. I just wanted to take a look at the current situation of the city, and I believe you can handle everything well!" Zheng-Fu shook his head. He did not want to attract attention or cause trouble, so he secretly came over without anyone knowing.

Umm…

"Then, please have a seat, Master. I'll have someone prepare some liquor and food for you." Lin-Jun nodded slightly before respectfully inviting Zheng-Fu to sit down in the City Governor's seat, where he had been sitting earlier.

Umm…

"I heard that the former Black Rock City Governor's nephew was captured by you. He escaped from the city long ago, didn't he?" After Zheng-Fu sat down, he asked about the former Black Rock City Governor's troublemaker nephew. Since he had not seen that young man again, he thought that he had left the city long ago.

"Yes, he did. But a few days ago, he sneaked into the city again. At first, I didn't know why he came back. But when I investigated him, I found out that he came back here to get the former Black Rock City Governor's treasures, using the secret path under the residence. In addition to the treasures, he also said that he received a mission from his father to investigate our matters!" Lin-Jun replied.

Lin-Jun obtained various data from the young man who was tortured beyond endurance. There were two reasons why the young man came back. The first was not important; it was a common matter. The second was something that could not be ignored because it might cause a war in the future. This was because the young man's father was also a powerful person in the Demon Race. Although he was not a City Governor, he had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

"I understood. For now, all we can do is continue to restore Black Rock City. The surrounding cities are not as peaceful as before. I believe that those people will not make a move anytime soon. So… after today, we, the Human Race, must quickly strengthen ourselves!"

Flop!

Zheng-Fu understood the situation, but he believed that Black Rock City would still be safe in the next few months. So, he thought that what they needed to do was to make the people in the city stronger. After he finished speaking, Zheng-Fu took out five skill treatises and placed them on the desk before continuing, "I entrust these five skills to you to manage. I believe you know how to handle them. And during the remaining time before the war breaks out, I'll be temporarily absent from Black Rock City. However, if anything happens, you can contact me by following the steps I have told you."

Ah!

Zheng-Fu's words and the skill treatises he gave him made Lin-Jun quite startled. At first, Lin-Jun thought that Zheng-Fu would stay in the city until the war started. Having Zheng-Fu stay there would give everyone a lot of encouragement. If everyone knew that Zheng-Fu was not there, they would feel very anxious and uncomfortable.

"I know what you are thinking. Don't have to worry. Just tell others that I have entered closed-door cultivation. And let them practice the skills I have given you. So that they could be sure that I'm not going anywhere. I believe that everyone will understand, and there will definitely be no trouble!" Zheng-Fu knew what Lin-Jun was thinking, so he gave him some advice to put him at ease.

Umm!

"I'm so stupid not to think of something like this by myself. Then I wish Master a safe journey. As for here, I'll do my best and won't disappoint you!" Lin-Jun raised his hand to slap his forehead in embarrassment. He had not thought it through carefully and was too worried.

"It's all right, people make mistakes. Just don't make them too often since you're City Governor. Another thing, during this period, if more people are immigrating, you must check thoroughly and be very careful. Perhaps those people did not come with good intentions and may be spies of the Demon Race. Besides, when everything goes well, I want you to bring strong warriors to help the people in the other three cities. I believe that there are still many people there who need help and want to join us. But remember... whatever you do, you must always be attentive and careful!"

After reminding Lin-Jun of his responsibilities, Zheng-Fu did not forget to remind him about the immigrants. They could not know who the Demon Race's people were. If those people could enter the city, they would definitely have trouble. So, Zheng-Fu reminded Lin-Jun to be careful about this. And another thing was to help the humans in the other three cities that were occupied by other forces.

I got it!
