After finishing talking with the two remaining young won, Zheng-Fu returned to his quarters to check on the mysterious person he ordered the clone figure to capture.
In Zheng-Fu's room...
Mmm... mmm nth amm wmnnn!
That mysterious person was a man in his early forties. He had purple-blue skin and quite dark-rimd eyes, but not black. Moreover, there were two short horns on his head. From his looks, he seed to be a cross between a Demon Race and a Monster Race. In addition to having a different skin color from humans, so parts of his body also had scales like a snake's.
The mont the mysterious man saw Zheng-Fu enter the room, he tried to say sothing. But because he was gagged, the sounds that ca out were muffled, nonverbal, and incomprehensible.
"Calm down, don't be in such a hurry to speak. I have all day for you to talk." Zheng-Fu looked at the mysterious man with cold eyes. He also unleashes powerful killing intent on him to terrify him.
Whoosh!!!
And it was very effective. Just being exposed to Zheng-Fu's intense killing intent, the mysterious man's face visibly turned pale, and his whole body trembled.
"Take off his gag!"
Seeing that, Zheng-Fu ordered his hidden clone figure to remove the cloth covering the mysterious man's mouth.
Flap!
"All right! It's ti to speak. What do you want to say to ?"
"Mas… Master, I'm... I'm not a villain, sir. I co from the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe. I just received a command from our tribe's master elders to contact you and invite you to..."
"I don't care where you co from. And I don't care what your elders want. If they want to see , they must see in person!" Zheng-Fu was extrely dissatisfied that the other party wanted to see him but treated him so dishonestly. Therefore, in response, he told the middle-aged man who claid to be from the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe to go back and tell his elders to et him there.
Let them et you here, is that so?!
"Why?! Can't they co? If they can't co, there's no need to talk. Because I wouldn't waste my ti on soone dishonest and unwilling to reveal themselves!" Seeing the middle-aged man's expression and gesture, Zheng-Fu imdiately shot back indifferently. And he also repeated his original intention.
"It's not that we don't want to reveal our identities. But we cannot reveal ourselves in public, sir, Master! Because our Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe was labeled as a rebellion against the Demon Race. We're being exterminated and will be killed on the spot whenever we're seen. We must hide and dare not co out of our hiding place, sir!"
The middle-aged man tried to explain to Zheng-Fu about their tribe's situation and that now they were in danger. They were criminals who were escaping and were highly wanted by the Demon Race. And his coming out to et Zheng-Fu would risk exposing the tribe's hidden location.
Hah!?
"Rebellion against Demon Race? And how can I believe you? Zheng-Fu looked at the middle-aged man's eyes and saw that the latter was not lying at all. But still, he wanted confirmation.
"I swear before heaven and earth and my ancestors that everything I have said is the truth. If I lie or distort the truth, may I and my tribe et an end that will be extrely painful and pitiful!"
The middle-aged man did not know what to do to confirm, so he swore an oath to heaven and earth using his reputation and that of his ancestors as collateral.
Umm...
Seeing the middle-aged man's serious expression and solemn oath, Zheng-Fu realized that he really was not lying.
"All right! I believe you. But if you lie, even if heaven doesn't punish you, I'll be the one to do it!" Although willing to believe him, Zheng-Fu still threatened to frighten the other party.
"Thank you for believing in , sir! Then it ans that you're willing to go with , right?" The middle-aged man felt much better when he saw Zheng-Fu's willingness to believe him. He asked again about the mission that the elders of the Tribe had assigned him.
"Yes, I'll go with you. And where is your hiding place?" Zheng-Fu thought for a mont before he agreed.
"It's not far from Black Rock City. In fact, it should only take half a day to travel. But because we need to be careful not to let outsiders know of our existence. We've to use a special, complicated route that took us one day to get to..."
"Oh… What a waste of ti! It's much easier this way!"
Blop!
You!
As the middle-aged man did not finish speaking, Zheng-Fu quickly reached out and grabbed the man's head in displeasure. The man instinctively dodged Zheng-Fu's palm. But because their energy levels were too far apart, he could not dodge and was caught by the head. No matter how much he struggled, he could not escape.
"Stop struggling. I'm not going to kill you. I just want to get so information from you. Stay still and be a good boy!" Zheng-Fu was a little annoyed at the man's attempt to resist. But he could understand the feelings of the other party. If it were him, he would probably do the sa. Therefore, for the other party to stop struggling, he had to explain what he was doing.
Oh!
The middle-aged man paused for a mont before trying to look at Zheng-Fu to see if he was telling the truth. But before he could get any answer, he felt as if soone was walking around in his brain and could see every nook and cranny of him as if he were not wearing any clothes at all.
Flap!
Done!
But a few monts later, that feeling imdiately disappeared after Zheng-Fu released his hand from his head. It was as if the feelings just a mont ago were just a dream that disappeared so quickly when he woke up.
"Wha… what are you doing to ?" The middle-aged man tried to find an answer. And to make his mind clear, he gritted his teeth and asked.
"You don't have to ask much, Long-Che-Ge! Well, … now I know where your tribe is located. And we don't need to spend days traveling. Because I have a better route that will take us there in just a few breaths!" Zheng-Fu smiled mysteriously as he replied to the middle-aged man. Not only did he know the location of the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe, but he also knew so of that middle-aged man's personal information.
Yo… you!
Long-Che-Ge was stunned and shocked that Zheng-Fu was able to call his na correctly, even though he had not yet even introduced himself. It made him suddenly think of what had happened just now when he felt like soone was scanning all over him.
Heavenly Dinsional Gate!
But Zheng-Fu did not pay any attention to Long-Che-Ge's expression. He hurriedly summoned Heavenly Dinsional Gate and imdiately pulled Long-Che-Ge's hand to lead him to go inside together.
Flap!
Hah!?
Everything happened so fast that Long-Che-Ge did not even realize it. And when he regained consciousness, he found himself back in his room within the secret area where the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe was hiding. All the while, his expression was stunned, and his mouth gasped, looking around nonstop in disbelief. Finally, his eyes landed on Zheng-Fu, who was smiling.
"How long will you be shocked like that? Didn't I tell you that I have a faster path than yours? Well! Take to the elders you ntioned. My ti is precious!" Zheng-Fu secretly laughed inwardly at Long-Che-Ge's expression. However, he still had a solemn appearance and told the middle-aged man to take him to et the elders who wanted to et him.
Umm...
Although Long-Che-Ge had partially regained consciousness, he was still slightly dazed. But because he had considerable life experience, he could quickly respond and took Zheng-Fu to et the tribe's elders imdiately.
At the main hall of the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe...
When the elders learned of Zheng-Fu's arrival, they imdiately held an urgent eting and prepared a place to welco Zheng-Fu. But because ti was too short, they could not organize a good reception other than preparing liquor with a little delicious food.
"We apologize for not being able to provide a better welco, Young Master Zheng-Fu! Because you arrived earlier than we expected!" A middle-aged man with a stern face and a similar appearance to Long-Che-Ge spoke in a polite tone. It looked like he was the leader of the tribe because he was sitting on a large chair in the middle of the hall.
"Tribe Leader, you're too polite to . Actually, I don't mind these things. So, this is more than enough. By the way, for inviting here, what are you guys going to talk to about?" Zheng-Fu raised his hand and waved it around to say that he did not want anything formal at all and spoke about the matter imdiately without talking indirectly.
Umm!
"Young Master Zheng-Fu is such a straightforward person. Since you're asking about the matter, I won't roundabout either. We invited you here because we have a favor to ask. You probably already know that our tribe was labeled as rebels against the Demon Race and was almost completely wiped out. Therefore, we'd like to ask you to please accept us into your plan to eliminate the Demon Race. We promise that we'll definitely not hinder or destroy your plan!"
Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe Leader answered Zheng-Fu honestly. The reason he invited Zheng-Fu was because he also wanted to join Zheng-Fu's plan. His tribe had always been oppressed and persecuted by the Demon Race. Therefore, they hated the Demon Race very much. Even though they had Demon Race's blood mixed in them. And because of that, their later generations tried to erase the demon bloodline by interbreeding with more humans. They intended to give birth to new generations whose parents, on one side, were from the Half-demon, half-monster Race and the other from the Human Race.
"Umm, I got it! By the way, what will I get if I accept you all?"
Zheng-Fu heard that and nodded in understanding. But he still had not agreed because he did not yet see what benefit it would bring to him. Therefore, he directly asked what benefits he would receive from the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe.
Ah!
