Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1166: Liang-Zhong's Good News

Fifteen minutes passed...

Whoosh!!!

"The last piece! Phew! Finally, I can collect them all. But I'm so tired!"

There were too many items, so Zheng-Fu took everything first and would sort them out later. Even though he gathered them in a hurry without storing them neatly, it still took him fifteen minutes to collect every single item in the chamber.

"I can't stay here much longer. I'd go back to Lin Clan now. But first, I must store this Great Shelter!"

With nothing left, Zheng-Fu thought he should get out of there and return to the Lin Clan. Because he had been there for a long time. Besides, he had just sent those senior hunters back. And they would definitely come back there soon. Therefore, to prevent any trouble, Zheng-Fu hurriedly returned. However, he did not forget to keep Blood Tomb or the magic treasure 'The Great Shelter' as well.

After Zheng-Fu stored it in his dimensional space, the Blood Tomb disappeared, and only a huge hole hundreds of meters deep and kilometers wide was left. It was as if the area there had been hit by a meteorite from another world.

However, the huge hole was soon replaced by a large amount of water rising from the ground. Eventually, it filled with water, turning it into a vast lake. That is because there was a water source beneath that ground. When nothing was blocking the flow of water, the water flowed out and turned the hole into a lake.

Come to the group of senior hunters...

After they were sent out of the Blood Tomb, one of the senior hunters finally opened his eyes because, after a long wait, Zheng-Fu had not told them to open their eyes. And when he saw that the place he was in was not in the Blood Tomb but the forest near the Hunter Guild, he immediately informed the others.

When the other senior hunters first opened their eyes to see the scenery around them, they thought it was an illusion. But because of the realism of the smell, sound, and touch, they tried to find out the truth by heading to the nearby Hunter Guild. When they reached the guild, Senior Hunter Liang-Zhong, who had returned earlier, immediately came out to welcome them. And that let them know that everything was true.

In the main meeting hall of Hunter Guild's Sun Moon Forest Branch...

"Are you saying you don't know how you got out of the Blood Tomb?" Senior Hunter Liang-Zhong asked the other senior hunters again after listening to everything that had happened.

"Yes, we don't know how we were sent from the Blood Tomb. But we're sure that it must have been the work of that young man!" a senior hunter replied with a serious and confident expression. Because aside from Zheng-Fu, he could not think of anyone else's actions.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Other senior hunters thought so too. Because in Blood Tomb, there were only them and Demon King Dong-Zhuo. And with Demon King Dong-Zhuo intending to kill them, there was definitely no way he would let them come back. Therefore, Zheng-Fu was the only one who could have done it.

"What about Master Mou and Master Zou? Are you sure they disappeared?"

Seeing that everyone had agreed that the person who sent them was Zheng-Fu, Senior Hunter Liang-Zhong did not ask any more questions. And instead, he asked about Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang. Because both of them were high-ranking senior hunters of the guild. Moreover, they were also powerful people from the Demon Race.

The disappearance of those two would really become a big deal. Since he was also one of the guild's main elders, Liang-Zhong had to ask about that matter clearly as part of his duty. Even though in his heart, he already had a rough answer to the disappearance of the two of them.

'Master Liang-Zhong, I think you can guess whose action caused the two of them to disappear! But you don't have to worry. Because I'm also on the same side as you.'

Ah!

But Yun-Hou-Tian's voice suddenly sounded in Liang-Zhong's head. Yun-Hou-Tian telepathically spoke privately with Liang-Zhong regarding the disappearance of Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang. Because Zheng-Fu had previously told him that Liang-Zhong was on the same side as them, including that he joined the ideology of eliminating the Demon Race.

'Then that means... both of them are dead, right?'

Nod!

Yun-Hou-Tian did not answer. He just nodded lightly and twisted his neck like he was stretching to prevent others from being suspicious and knowing that he and Liang-Zhong were talking to each other.

"We've searched but found no trace of them. We also couldn't contact them by any means. We don't know where they've gone or if they've been killed!"

Umm!

"This matter is not small at all. We must find out for sure whether the two of them just disappeared or were killed by demon monsters!" Liang-Zhong still had a serious expression on his face. Although in his heart, he felt extremely comfortable. However, they had to find out the truth and report it because most of the absolute power belonged to the people from the Demon Race. Even though their Hunter Guild's branch did not have many hunters from the Demon Race.

Well, agree with that!

Inside Zheng-Fu's room…

After Zheng-Fu finished taking care of everything at Blood Tomb, he immediately used his Heavenly Dimensional Gate to return to his room in Lin Clan's mansion.

"I never thought I would be able to travel back this quickly. But so be it! It was considered that this hunting trip was very profitable. So, I'd rather use the remaining time to cultivate energy. As for the treasures I got from Demon King Dong-Zhuo, I'll check them out later to see what they are."

Zheng-Fu calculated the time it took him to hunt and found that it was much faster than he had planned. Therefore, he had enough time left before he carried out his plans to wipe out the Demon Race people in Black Rock City.

Three days passed...

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Young Master Zheng-Fu, sir!

…

Young Master, sir!

After Zheng-Fu returned to Lin Clan, three days passed without incident. And Zheng-Fu had told everyone that he would cultivate energy and did not want anyone to disturb him. Unless there was something urgent or important, they could call him. So, in those three days, only the servants brought him food. But today, a servant knocked on the door and called out to him.

Creeeaaak!

"Is there something wrong?"

Zheng-Fu opened the door and asked the servant with a calm and emotionless expression.

"Clan Leader has me invite you to the main hall, sir. Because two people from the Hunter Guild have come to see you." The servant trembled slightly when he saw Zheng-Fu's expression and demeanor. But even so, he still answered because it was his duty.

Two people from the Hunter Guild?

Hearing that, Zheng-Fu looked suspicious for a moment. Before he could figure out that the people who had come to meet him were definitely Liang-Zhong and Yun-Hou-Tian. Because he had told Liang-Zhong that he was staying at the Lin Clan in Black Rock City.

"Thank you very much. You can go back first. I'll be there later!" Zheng-Fu said to the servant.

Yes, sir, Young Master!

Zheng-Fu then took a bath and changed his clothes. Because he had not bathed at all during the three days of energy cultivation.

Half an hour passed, in the main hall of Lin Clan...

Thump!

"Respect, Senior Masters. I never thought you would come here to visit me!"

Comrade Zheng-Fu!!

After half an hour, Zheng-Fu arrived at the main hall of the Lin Clan. He greeted the two middle-aged men sitting on the reception chairs. With Lin Clan's important elders sitting around there. When the two saw Zheng-Fu, they quickly stood up and called out Zheng-Fu's name at the same time, happy as if they saw someone in their family.

"I have arranged a seat for you, Young Master Zheng-Fu. Please comfortably take your seat!" When Clan Leader Lin-Jun saw Zheng-Fu and the two masters from the Hunter Guild looking close to each other, he felt relieved. Previously, he was worried about what the two people had come to his clan for, seeing that, he immediately invited Zheng-Fu to sit.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin! You're too polite to me." Zheng-Fu smiled softly at Lin-Jun before walking over to the chair that Lin-Jun had arranged for him.

"What's the matter that you two came to see me here for? Good news or bad news? But judging by the expressions on both of you, it must be good news!" Zheng-Fu was already a straightforward person. He immediately asked to get to the point.

"Comrade Zheng-Fu guessed correctly. But this matter…"

"You guys don't have to worry. Everyone in this hall is on the same side. They definitely won't tell anyone what they heard today. Is that true, everyone?" Zheng-Fu knew that Liang-Zhong wanted to say something. But he wanted to speak to Zheng-Fu alone because it was a secret for only their fellow ideologues. But Zheng-Fu had told them not to worry about that. And in the last sentence, Zheng-Fu laced it with strong killing intent.

"We swear by Lin Clan's honor and reputation!"

The elders and important people of Lin Clan swore together as soon as Zheng-Fu finished his sentence. Even without Zheng-Fu's killing intent, they did not think of bringing up today's matter to anyone. Because they know what Zheng-Fu could do.

"If you guarantee that, then I'll believe it. I have come to you today to inform you that the Sun Moon Forest branch of Hunter Guild now belongs entirely to the Human Race after two important senior masters, Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang, disappeared... (smirking slightly) ... and the other senior hunters were already under the influence of the medicine that you had given them to take.

"We, therefore, wiped out all the important hunters from the Demon Race. That made the Hunter Guild Sun Moon Forest Branch now have no one left from the Demon Race who is powerful enough to be a problem anymore. If you want to start your plans, we are ready to help you to the utmost!"

That was what brought Liang-Zhong to see Zheng-Fu. He wanted to inform Zheng-Fu that all power in the Sun Moon Forest Branch of the Hunter Guild had gone to him and the humans who hated the people of the Demon Race. And he was ready to help Zheng-Fu with his operations.

"If that's the case, that's great! And Uncle Lin, what progress have you made?" Zheng-Fu smiled happily at Liang-Zhong's good news. With Liang-Zhong's support, he would be able to do things much more easily. But for the entire plan to begin, it still needed the Lin Clan, the main force, to take action first. Therefore, he turned to ask Lin-Jun how the forging plan was progressing.
