After talking with Chuan-He and Da-Ye in the hall, Zheng-Fu followed the servant to the guest room Da-Ye had prepared for him. However, it was not the room as he thought, but a small guest house with a small garden and training area. It was considered to be an excellent place.
"Here we are, Young Master!"
When they arrived in front of the small guest house, the servant said as he extended his hand towards the house and bowed to Zheng-Fu.
"Umm! Thank you very much for leading me the way! Take this, it'll help you a lot!" Zheng-Fu thanked the servant. And before entering the house, he tossed a small bottle of fifth-level energy-boosting pill to the servant. Because he saw the determination in this young man's eyes. He thought that, in the future, this young man would go far if he had good support.
Blop!
Hah!?
Err…
"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!" Confused at first, the young man hurriedly received the medicinal bottle, without knowing what was inside the bottle. And he was very happy and grateful to Zheng-Fu when he saw what it was. Because these medicines would help him develop himself and raise his status.
"No need to thank me. It's all because of fate. When given the opportunity, seize it, and don't disappoint anyone or do bad things!" Zheng-Fu said as he walked into the guest house area. After finishing his words, his figure suddenly disappeared.
"Yes, sir!"
Zheng-Fu did not enter the house immediately. He chose to walk around the garden and the surrounding area first. Because he wanted to cast a sound seal spell, an attack-blocking spell, and a spell to block the energy waves from spreading out. When he finished casting, this guest house would appear as if no one was in it, and no one would be able to sense the people inside.
Half an hour passed...
Sigh!
"Even though it's just a temporary stay, I should cast a protective spell first!" Zheng-Fu let out a long breath after he finished casting all the spells. They were not very high-level or complicated spells. Because he was only here temporarily, he chose to use the simple spells.
"Alright! First of all, I have to concoct some medicine and then visit Song Clan later!" Zheng-Fu then immediately went inside the house to concoct some medicine.
One day passed in the main hall of Song Clan...
Bang!!!
"Who dares to erase my Song Clan!!!"
Hah!?
Father!
Grandpa!
While the Song Clan Leader and the elders were discussing, the sound of a door being forcefully pushed was heard. At the same time, the figure of the former Song Clan Leader or the current clan leader's father walked in and shouted angrily.
"Congratulations, Father, for breaking through to the most advanced Deity Soul stage!" Clan Leader Song-Tian-Su congratulated his father for breaking through to the most advanced Deity Soul stage. It was considered good news for him.
"Leave that matter for later! Right now, I want to know who dares to disrespect our Song Clan?" The elder was in no mood to be happy. Because the matter of the Song Clan being shamed in front of so many people and having their people killed like this was more important.
"An outsider, sir, Grandpa!" The young man immediately replied to the elder.
An outsider!?
"Yes, sir! He's a great skilled master that Da Clan brought back with them after they were expelled from Heavenly Cloud City. And when they returned, they killed our chief guard in cold blood and without reason. Not only the people of our clan, but even Chuan Clan's people, like their Grand Elder and Second Elder, were killed by him!" The young man further explained with a feigned sadness on his face.
Huh!?
"Then Chuan Clan is willing to stay silent?" The elder was shocked when he heard that. Although the Chuan Clan was not the strongest, they were considered a high-ranking clan that was almost comparable to the main clan of the Sacred Heavenly Star Divine Sect. Why did they tolerate this?
"I don't know Grandpa. Maybe it was because they were afraid and didn't want to take any more risks. By the way, that great skilled master outsider seems to be arrogant and boasts that he knows the Sacred Heavenly Star Divine Sect-master, too, sir. I think it won't be long before the elders from Sacred Heavenly Star Divine Sect will definitely come to him to investigate this matter!"
Umm!
"He dares to say that? And do you know what his name is?" The elder was much calmer than before after hearing the story from his grandson. Because upon reviewing it, he felt that this matter was strange. Even though that great skilled master had caused such a crime, he had still survived until today without anything happening. No one from the Chuan Clan or anyone from the main sect dealt with him.
"From what I heard, his name is Zheng-Fu, sir, Father. As for his origin, no one knows. And no matter how hard we tried to investigate his background, nothing was achieved. Even the News Association wouldn't investigate his story," Song-Tian-Su replied. He had already gone to the News Association to hire someone to investigate the matter of this great skilled master. But the News Association did not dare accept the job and rejected him.
"They refused to investigate the background of this great skilled master? How is this possible? Normally, they would hardly refuse to investigate anyone unless the target was a truly powerful person. Or does this great skilled master have a great background? Or does it mean that the News Association knows who he is?" The elder was very surprised to hear that.
"I think so, too, Father. So, I'm worried right now. Because that great skilled master wanted to talk to us, Song Clan. But I refused to go and thought it wouldn't be a problem. So, I…"
"Hah, are you really stupid or crazy!?" But before Song-Tian-Su could finish speaking, the elder shouted and cursed in displeasure. His demeanor and tone of voice showed that he was very angry.
"I'm sorry, Father! I didn't think the matter would be this big. And I don't know what terrifying background he has. So, I refused to see him and talk to him!" Song-Tian-Su immediately turned pale when he saw his father's anger. He did not expect that his father would be angry instead of approving.
Sigh!
"Forget it! When the matter had already passed, it would be impossible to go back and fix anything. We can only accept what will happen from now on. But no matter what, I won't let him do anything to my Song Clan. Even though he has a great background!" The elder calmed down and let out a long, exhausted sigh. He knew that even if he was angry, he could not do anything. So, he chose to accept reality and face it.
"Yes, sir, Father!"
The Song Clan began to set up tight guards throughout their residence. Every path and area was filled with many guards. In addition, clan members were also forbidden from going out alone or going to secret places. Because they fear that people in the clan would be harmed.
Across to the other side of Heavenly Cloud City, in the main hall of Chuan Clan...
"Chuan-He, what do you think about this?" Chuan Clan Leader asked worriedly. He thought about the words that Chuan-He had brought back from Zheng-Fu all day and all night, from yesterday until this morning. But he still could not find an answer.
"For me, now the Chuan Clan's power has been reduced more than any other clan in Heavenly Cloud City due to the loss of Grand Elder and Second Elder. So, we only have two choices. The first option is to do as he says. The second is to stay still. Do nothing and let our power be taken away. I think that if we stay still, he won't do anything to us!" Chuan-He replied.
He had thought it carefully. Moreover, he did not have the authority to make decisions on such important matters. However, one thing that he was very sure of was that Zheng-Fu would never do anything more to the Chuan Clan than this. If they did not cause him trouble or embarrassment.
Hah!
"Are you saying you'll deal with me, Elder Chuan-He!? That's it! You have probably been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Waiting for the day when you can put me out of your way!" Fourth Elder interrupted with a loud voice of displeasure. He was still living comfortably and had not been held captive in any way. Because the Chuan Clan Leader had not yet decided to follow Zheng-Fu's words. Fourth Elder was still in his position and attended the meeting.
"I never thought of that. But everything I said is true. Or do you have another way?" Chuan-He was not angry that the other party had slandered him like that. Because he did not care about such people's vain thoughts.
You!
All right!
"Stop it, Elder Chuan-Liang. I don't think Elder Chuan-He is thinking of anything like that. Just his words may be direct and hurt your feelings somewhat. Don't hold anything against him. Besides, that young man was aiming at you," the Chuan Clan Leader hurriedly interrupted to prevent the two from quarreling. Just the serious problems he faced were enough to make him feel bad. He did not want any disputes within the clan more than this.
Hmm!
"Clan leader, I still have another matter I'd like to talk to you about, sir!"
Hah!?
"What's it, Elder Chuan-He?" The Chuan Clan Leader frowned when he saw Chuan-He's expression look very serious.
"I have decided to go see Young Master Zheng-Fu today. I'd like to apologize for making my decision without going through you or anyone else. But because this matter is important to me and our clan, I must go see him today. I hope you'll forgive me!" said Chuan-He. He had already made up his mind and did not care what the consequences would be.
Huh!
"You traitor! I already thought you would betray the clan!" Fourth Elder immediately shouted as he got the chance. He did not expect Chuan-He to speak like this. Therefore, when he had the opportunity, he did not hesitate to add fuel to the fire so that Chuan-He would be punished by the clan leader.
Can you please be quiet first!!?
Chuan Clan Leader snorted, glaring dissatisfiedly at Fourth Elder. And when Fourth Elder heard that, he quickly shut his mouth and kept silent in fear.
Ah! Oops!
"Yes, sir, Clan Leader!"
"Have you thought this carefully, Chuan-He? If you go to meet him, you'll instantly become known as a traitor to the Chuan Clan. Do you really want that?" the clan leader turned to ask Chuan-He with a very serious expression.
"I have thought about it well, sir, Clan Leader!"
Umm!
