Over The World, Beyond Heaven

After finishing talking with Lin-Jun, Zheng-Fu returned to the Lin Clan to do some things before leaving. He wanted to reward the young guard for his hard work. The young guard had helped him guard the door and attended to all his needs, whether it was bringing food or gathering information that he needed, without ever refusing him.

When Zheng-Fu returned to the Lin Clan mansion, he called the young guard to his residence. As soon as the young guard arrived, he wasted no time and gave him advice on the cultivation techniques that he had specially modified and improved for him.

It took him two shichen, and the result was far beyond Zheng-Fu's expectations. The young guard was able to understand and increase his energy level by one level just by listening to his advice. It seemed that the young guard could improve even more that day if he continued to practice.

Therefore, Zheng-Fu did not explain anything further, but instead gave him two skill treatises. The first was the cultivation skill that he had previously explained to him. The second was the saber skill that he had invented while advising the young guard. Although it was not very exceptional, it was still a mid-level Deity Soul Skill. If the young man could practice it successfully, he would definitely become a famous person in the future.

After Zheng-Fu instructed the young guard, he had nothing else to do. He returned to his bedroom and called out the Heavenly Dimensional Gate. His destination was a city several hundred li north of Black Rock City, and it was the city of Black Rock City Governor's younger brother.

Although they said they were brothers, in reality, they were just very close acquaintances. They were not related by blood at all. The reason Zheng-Fu went to that city was because he had received data from the Black Rock City Governor that his younger brother was a powerful person in the Demon Race, and was also very wealthy. So, Zheng-Fu chose to go there.

Three days later…

Zheng-Fu had been in that city for three days. The city was called Demon's Hill City, a first-tier city ruled by the upper class of the Demon Race. From the data that Zheng-Fu had obtained, the City Governor there was a fifth-level of the Great Deity Stage cultivator and had several Initial Great Deity Stage generals under his command.

In addition, Demon's Hill City also had six major clans, two clans of the Human Race and four clans of the Demon Race. That made most of the power completely belong to the Demon Race. However, the two major clans of the Human Race were not affected at all, because both clans fully supported the Demon Race. And some people in the two clans married people from the Demon Race's major clan.

Therefore, the relationship between the six major clans was very tight, but that was only in the eyes of outsiders. Because, in the past three days, Zheng-Fu had learned that one of the major clans of the Demon Race was planning to cause an incident. After all, he had seen several high-level warriors of the clan collecting a large number of weapons and armor, including the advanced explosive talisman sheets.

But Zheng-Fu was unsure what those people would do, so he did not make any moves or even enter that clan mansion. Besides, he could sense more than four Great Deity Stage identities there. Although Zheng-Fu could fight them, he would not be able to cope with those four at the same time.

Thus, the wisest choice was to be patient and watch from a distance to find an opportunity to make a move. At least, nothing could harm him at that moment.

Inside a room in a tavern...

"It has been three days since I left Black Rock City, and Lin-Jun has not contacted me. There should be no problems there. Like this, I feel a little relieved. But the problem now is my energy level! It's getting harder and harder to advance. Judging from the speed of my current development, I probably need another month or two, or maybe more. My resources are running low as well. If they run out, I'll surely be in trouble!"

Zheng-Fu felt awful. He had almost used up all the resources his mother-in-law had given him. At that time, he could almost be called a poor person. If he could not find more resources, his energy level development would definitely come to a halt.

"Should I go hunting?"

While trying to find a way, Zheng-Fu thought of hunting monster beasts or monster demons to collect materials to concoct the energy-boosting pills. At that time, several herbs in the Heavenly Flora Garden within his dimensional space had already fully grown. The only materials in short supply were the monster beast's internal organs and energy core. Therefore, hunting would be his best option.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

People in the room, come out now!

But suddenly, someone knocked on Zheng-Fu's door hard, shouting for him to come out.

Hah!?

Zheng-Fu quickly checked the people in front of his room and found two middle-aged men in full armor but without helmets standing there. They were advanced Deity Monarch Stage cultivators.

Creeeaaak!!!

"Good morning! What's it?"

After identifying the person who was knocking at the door, Zheng-Fu went to open the door and greeted the two middle-aged men with a smile.

"We've been ordered to arrest you to investigate on suspicion of causing harm to this city. Follow us obediently. If you resist or do not comply, we may have to force you. If that happens… we cannot guarantee your safety!"

One of the middle-aged men replied. He explained the reason for coming to Zheng-Fu, and when he finished speaking, the two men raised their hands, ready to take action if Zheng-Fu resisted.

"All right! I'll follow you. I didn't do any offense anyway."

However, Zheng-Fu obediently complied, which was different from what the two men had expected. They thought that Zheng-Fu would definitely refuse and resist, but the result was the opposite.

Umm!

"Very good! Being obedient like this is good. However, for our safety and to prevent you from escaping, we need to handcuff you!" The other man took out a pair of handcuffs from his dimensional ring. They were handcuffs with some characters engraved on them.

Sure!

Despite being handcuffed, Zheng-Fu did not complain or scold them because, although he could sense that this handcuff had a spell that would suppress some of the energy of the person who was cuffed, for him, it was no different from an ordinary handcuff because he could easily and quickly dispel that spell. So, Zheng-Fu let the two middle-aged men arrest him easily.

After that, the two men brought Zheng-Fu out of the tavern. While they were walking out, many people turned their attention to them. However, they soon stopped paying attention as if this kind of thing happened so often that it became normal.

"You two, can I ask you something?"

Hah?!

"What do you want to ask? If it's something we can answer, we will!" The first middle-aged man replied with a plain expression. He was not dissatisfied with Zheng-Fu's desire to ask a question. He was just a little surprised, but he let Zheng-Fu ask as he pleased. As for whether or not to answer, that was up to them.

"I want to know if you work for the City Governor?"

If anyone heard Zheng-Fu's question, they would definitely laugh and call him crazy. Because, other than the City Governor, no one had the right to do this. And all the guards were under the direct control of the City Governor and the City Governor's clan.

"Yes, of course. By the way, judging from your accent and your appearance, you must be an outlander, right? Where are you from?" Another middle-aged man answered. Before he asked Zheng-Fu back when he noticed that Zheng-Fu spoke with a strange accent and looked different from the locals.

"I come from... a small village around here. My family is poor, so I thought of coming to try my luck in this city. But then I was...!" Zheng-Fu replied. At first, he almost blurted out that he was from Black Rock City, but he thought of something and made up a story.

Umm!

"There are quite a few people who think like you. Our city is the most prosperous in this area. Everyone wants to come and try their luck. That's why there is chaos every day." The first man said with a tired and bored expression.

"You guys must be working really hard. Even though I can't help you, I'll do everything you tell me to do. So that you won't get tired from working!" Zheng-Fu tried to build a good relationship with the two middle-aged men because he saw something in them. Although their appearances looked like people from the Demon Race, Zheng-Fu could tell that they were half-breeds of the Human Race and the Demon Race.

Sigh...

"Thank you! When we get to the unit, I'll help you defend yourself. It seems that you're not the kind of person who would come to cause trouble and create chaos in the city!" The first middle-aged man looked much kinder. His face at that time started to show a smile. It was not like before when he kept a straight face and was indifferent to the world.

"Thank you, Elder Brother! If I survive, I'll find a chance to treat you to liquor!" Zheng-Fu clasped his hands together and thanked the two middle-aged men. He also invited them to drink liquor after he survived. However, because he pretended to be poor, he had to make them understand that he must have found a job first and then treated them to liquor later.

"Good! I hope to drink your liquor too!"

Half an hour passed…

Zheng-Fu was brought to a three-story building that was extremely large. It was larger than five football fields combined. At the entrance of the building, there was a large sign beautifully inscribed with the words 'Regulation Control Unit.' Looking carefully, it would be seen that those characters contained some energy.

"We're here… We'll take you to the interrogation room. After that, another officer will question you. Don't worry, I'll help you speak!" The first middle-aged man explained to Zheng-Fu what he would encounter once he entered. He tried to put Zheng-Fu at ease by reiterating that he would help Zheng-Fu by speaking up to defend him.

"Thank you, Elder Brother, again for helping me!"

Umm!

Let's go in!
