Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Zi-Dong-Lei and Ma Clan Leader were speechless when they saw that Zheng-Fu still wanted to deal with the demon monster beast hordes without their help. However, since those words came from Zheng-Fu, they accepted that decision without any argument.

"If Little Comrade thinks so, then we'll follow. But whenever you can't handle it, tell us immediately, alright? Because this matter is important to many lives!" Zi-Dong-Lei accepted Zheng-Fu's decision, but he warned Zheng-Fu to consider the safety of the people in the city as well.

"No problem! If I can't handle it, I'll tell you right away. However, our main problem now is not dealing with the demon monster beasts. I think... you should deal with the other dishonest powers first!"

Zheng-Fu nodded slightly to thank Zi-Dong-Lei and Ma Clan Leader for accepting his decision before reminding them not to overlook that the real enemy was not the demon monster beasts, but rather the Mou Clan, Xin Clan, Gong Clan, and Lun Clan.

Umm!

"Leave that to me. I won't let them go if they're really dishonest!" Zi-Dong-Lei had never intended to let the four clans go, but since he still did not have evidence to prove their wrongdoings, he could not do anything. And even this retreat, they could claim that it was because a large number of their warriors had died. If he were one of them, he would have done the same.

With Zheng-Fu's helping hand, the battle situation with the demon monster beast hordes became easier. Those from other battlefields that had gathered at Zi Clan and Ma Clan's battlefields were continuously and rapidly killed. That caused the demon monster beasts' commander to order their vanguard to retreat and reform a battle formation.

"At first, I thought they were going to charge into the city walls!"

"Exactly! If that's the case, then we would have no choice but to fight them to the death. Who would have thought that young man would lend a hand during such a crisis!"

"If all major clan leaders had accepted his offer from the beginning, we wouldn't have had to exhaust ourselves and risk our lives like this!"

"What offer, Elder Brother?!"

"You guys listen and keep your mouths shut. This is inside information from my comrades. They heard that the City Governor and the clan leaders negotiated with that young man to help eliminate the vanguard of the demon monster beast hordes on two terms. The first is that he'll collect all the demon monster beast carcasses he has killed, and the people of each clan must help collect them for him. The second is that he wants to obtain all the intact remains of the Great Deity Stage demon monster beasts, with the clan leaders and main elders of each clan taking care of this!"

Ah!

"His demands seem too much! But if you think about it, they make sense. Then why didn't the clan leaders agree?"

"Hmm! I also think it's reasonable. As for why they didn't agree, I don't know!"

Hey!

"What nonsense are you guys talking about?! Go to your positions. We must always be prepared for unexpected events. If you're careless and negligent like this, many people may die because of you!"

Yes, sir, Chief!

Of course, that rumor was not limited to a small circle. It quickly spread throughout the defense line and became the main topic of conversation among everyone and every clan. This made many people unhappy that the clan leaders had rejected Zheng-Fu's request. If they had let Zheng-Fu intervene from the beginning, their comrades and family members would not have died like that.

At Mou Clan's defense position...

Bang!

Damn it!

"Who spread that rumor?"

The Mou Clan Leader was very furious. The rumor that had been spreading all over the place was directly related to the Mou Clan, and the general public had concluded that the Mou Clan was the kingpin in rejecting Zheng-Fu's offer, causing many clans to suffer heavy losses.

"I have sent someone to investigate, Clan Leader. It won't be long before we know who spread the rumor. Please calm down, it's just a rumor, won't take long for it to fade away!" The clan's Grand Elder tried to calm his clan leader down. The more they spoke out and showed their dissatisfaction, the more their reputation would be seen negatively.

Huh!

"All right! I'll try to calm down. But no matter what, you must find out who released the rumor and make them realize and regret that they released the rumor and damaged my Mou Clan!" The Mou Clan Leader tried to suppress his emotions before giving the order because that rumor had caused the Mou Clan great humiliation.

"Yes, sir, Clan Leader!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thud!

"Report, Clan Leader! The Third Master Elder has sent the news that all sheep are now in the slaughterhouse, sir!"

Hah!?

Hu hu hu!

Good! Good! Very good!

"Some good news at last! The day I'll finally become the supreme lord has come. The day when our Mou Clan will become the rightful owner of this city has finally arrived!" When the messenger reported the news, the Mou Clan Leader's initial anger instantly disappeared, his furrowed brows relaxed, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Take my command back to the Third Elder! Take good care of the lambs and wait until this battle is over before we start our next plan!"

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!

"What about the battle with the demon monster beast horde, Clan Leader? Will we still join?"

"Can't you see that the situation is very bad now? So we won't send our warriors to fight anymore. Wait until the warriors of Zi Clan and Ma Clan are crushed and have to retreat to the city wall, then we will…"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Clan Leader, sir!

"A large number of the demon monster beast hordes from our battlefield have now moved to the Zi Clan and Ma Clan battlefields, sir!"

Ha ha ha!

Good!

"May they suffer greater losses this time than us, so that my next plan will go smoothly. And when that time comes, the Mou Clan will rise to the top in this Demon's Hill City!"

Congratulations, Clan Leader!

I congratulate Clan Leader...

Report, sir, Clan Leader!

Hey!

"What are you guys reporting so much? Why didn't you all come all at once? Coming one by one like this is getting annoying. What else is going on!?" The Mou Clan Leader immediately felt irritated as his men took turns reporting and interrupting his happy mood. However, he still wanted to know what the latest report from the messenger was.

"Err... the… the demon monster beast hordes on the Zi Clan and Ma Clan battlefields have been wiped out, sir. And the demon monster beast horde from our battlefield that was moved there itself has already been wiped out by more than half. It is estimated that it will not be long before they are all wiped out, sir!"

What the heck!

The report made the Mou Clan Leader and the elders widen their eyes in shock and disbelief. Because the number of demon monster beasts that each major clan had to deal with was three to four hundred thousand, while Zi Clan and Ma Clan had to deal with no less than five to six hundred thousand per clan, which was almost twice as many as the other clans' battlefields. They could only retreat, but Zi Clan and Ma Clan could wipe out all of those demon monster beasts quickly. They could not believe it.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?!"

"Yes, sir, Clan Leader. I saw it with my own eyes. And almost all of the killings were done by that young man, sir!"

Ah!!!

The previous reports were already shocking, but this latest report was even more shocking. They were certain that Zheng-Fu would never lend a hand if he did not receive any benefits, and his conditions had already been rejected.

Damn it!

"Why is it like this?! That bastard is really nosy. We can't just let this go on, or my plans will all fall apart! Hurry up! Quickly send our warriors to help Zi Clan fight the demon monster beasts that have moved from our battlefield!"

Mou Clan Leader felt extremely anxious and dissatisfied. He had planned carefully, and everything was going well, but suddenly, an unexpected event happened. So, for the Mou Clan to be freed from the charge of abandoning their own battlefield, he ordered all the warriors who had withdrawn their force to rejoin the battle and sent a new batch of warriors to add to the fight.

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!!!

In addition to Mou Clan, Xin Clan, Gong Clan, Lun Clan, and all the medium clans that had retreated from the battlefield also began to resend out their warriors, to show that they had not abandoned the battlefield and to show their responsibility for having the demon monster beast hordes on their battlefield move to Zi Clan and Ma Clan's battlefields.

Huh!

'Do you think your stupid plan can be used against me? This is just the beginning.'

In a dark corner, Zheng-Fu had sent one of his clone figures out of the battlefield to check the various clans' movements. The clan he had the most eyes on was the Mou Clan. That allowed him to overhear the conversations of all the clan members, including the plan about the lambs they were talking about. He, therefore, quickly increased the effectiveness of the tactical formation to create chaos for the retreating clans, so that he would have time to investigate the lambs that the Mou Clan had mentioned.

In a secret room within the Mou Clan…

Bang!

You bastards!

"Who are you?! How dare you bring me and my family here!"

"That's right! If City Governor knew, he would not let you go!"

Huh!

"That's why we brought you here, Zi Furen!"

Ah!

You… you… you!

Third Master Elder Mou-Zen-Kun!?

The ones who were captured and locked up in this secret room were Zi-Dong-Lei's wife, her daughter, and her maidservant. Two of these three were the lambs that the Mou Clan Leader had mentioned. The reason they were captured and locked up there was because Mou Clan Leader wanted to use them as hostages to bargain for Zi-Dong-Lei to surrender and give him the position of City Governor.

"Why is it you? Or is Mou Clan intending to rebel?!" Zi Furen did not understand why the person who captured her and her daughter was Mou Clan Third Elder. She only knew that it would not be a good situation.

Ha ha ha!

"Rebel!? No way! The one who will be a rebel is the loser. And that person must be the City Governor, like Zi-Dong-Lei. And the winner who will become the next City Governor is our Clan Leader! And when Zi-Dong-Lei is killed, Zi Furen, you will have to be... Ha ha ha! Hmm! You're really... adorable!"

Ha ha ha!

Third Elder Mou-Zen-Kun burst out laughing with satisfaction and happiness. He had been looking forward to the day when he could have fun with Zi-Dong-Lei's beautiful and attractive wife for a long time. If Mou Clan's plan went smoothly, he would get his wish.

You filthy bastard!

Let us go now!

Ha ha ha, Dream on!

"You guys keep watch over them and don't let them do anything stupid!"

Yes, sir, Master Third Elder!
