After Zheng-Fu finished speaking, no one said anything else. Everyone remained silent and looked at each other to see what they should do next. Should they go back or stay to find out the truth?

"It's such a pity that we didn't get to meet the Deity stage Grandmaster here. Otherwise, maybe we could get some guidance from him to improve our cultivation!"

"That's true! What a pity! If I could get a little advice, maybe I would be able to break through to a higher level!"

"Now we can only go back and let this matter go!"

Sigh!

Many people seemed very disappointed when they could not do anything. Everyone wanted to meet the Deity stage Grandmaster for guidance. Even though they did not know whether the Deity stage identity was a friend or an enemy.

"Then we'll excuse ourselves, Sectmaster!"

"So do I!"

"Me too!"

Many people thought that nothing would happen even if they stayed. So, they began to excuse themselves with sad expressions. But just as they were about to leave, they heard something.

Crack!

Augh!

Thud!

Hah!?

"Someone was injured over there!"

A middle-aged man appeared from the nearby bushes. Before he coughed up blood as he staggered to fall in front of the great skilled masters. And that made everyone who was about to leave stop and turn around to see what was going on.

Flap!

"What happened? Who hurt you?" The handsome man was the first to rush towards the injured person.

"Gra... Grand... Augh!!!"

"Hurriedly treat him first. He lost too much blood. If we leave it any longer, he might die!" the middle-aged woman with a slender figure added. Before she took out a wound-healing pill from her dimensional ring and stuffed it into the injured man's mouth.

Gulp!

As the people turned their attention to the injured man, Mie-Xiang-Qi turned to look at Zheng-Fu with eyes full of questions. She wanted to ask Zheng-Fu what to do about this next. If that man recovered, he must have been telling the truth about what happened earlier.

(-\^-^/-)

But Zheng-Fu did not answer her. He just smiled and shrugged in response: whatever would happen, let it happen. After all, these people could not do anything to him.

Hah!

"Elder Mie, is that man...!?" De-Song-Yang approached Mie-Xiang-Qi and briefly asked her about the injured man. He thought that the injured man might have something to do with this as well.

"As you think, sir!" Mie-Xiang-Qi could only shake her head helplessly at this. She wanted to tell the truth to her Sectmaster. But she could not say anything right now.

Umm!

Ten minutes passed...

Augh! Augh!

"He has recovered!"

Hah!?

After about ten minutes, the injured man woke up and spat out bad blood from within his body. Before he slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

"You guys!?"

The man was dazed and wondered what he was doing there and who the people who were surrounding him were. But he soon remembered the scene that had happened before.

Ah!

"I was wrong! I was wrong! Please forgive me. I didn't intend to secretly follow you. It's because my comrades tricked me into coming. That's why I'm here!" The man shouted like a madman and looked frightened. He did not dare look at anyone and could only lower his head and close his eyes while apologizing without stopping. He thought that he might be hurt again.

"Calm down first, Comrade! We won't do anything to you. We're all friendly," the handsome middle-aged man comforted the injured man. He tried to calm the man down and asked about what had happened earlier.

"Yes! We'll all protect you. You can trust us!" the slender woman also helped to speak. She thought that the words of a woman would be more helpful than a man's.

"Are you telling the truth? Are you sure you guys will help me?" The injured man slowly opened his eyes.

"Sure! You'll be safe with our protection. Just tell us what happened before and who caused you such an injury?" The fat middle-aged man was very curious. So, he helped the others reassure the man. And of course, he did not miss the chance to ask about what had happened earlier.

Umm!

"Thank you all very much! The things that happened before were that... Hah! He...he...he! No! Grandmaster! Grandmaster, please spare my life. I don't dare disturb or offend you again. Please! Please forgive me!" But before the man could finish speaking, his eyes fell on Zheng-Fu. And that caused his calm mind and mood to surge again. But even so, this man still knew what he should do.

Hah!?

Of course, this incident caused all of the great skilled masters to immediately turn to look at Zheng-Fu. Everyone was wondering and thinking about various things. But they soon understood and realized that the person who attacked this man was a young man who claimed to be Mie-Xiang-Qi's boy.

"What exactly is this about? Why did he apologize to that young man? Or is he the one who attacked him?"

"It would be right. If it wasn't him, then why would this man apologize to him?"

"But his energy level is lower than this man's. So how could he harm someone at one level higher than him?"

"He might be hiding his true energy level!"

Hah!?

This last sentence made everyone realize something at the same time. Because hiding energy levels was the best way to explain it. However, many people still did not understand and did not want to believe it. If the young man was really using the skill to hide his energy level, they, who were at the intermediate and advanced Deity Soul stages, should be able to feel it. But they could not detect that this young man was hiding his energy level.

Even the Former Song Clan Leader, who was at the most advanced Deity Soul stage, could not sense it. He thought that Zheng-Fu was really just an advanced Heavenly Star stage martial master.

'Zheng-Fu Kid, the secret has been revealed. What do we do next?' De-Song-Yang telepathically asked Zheng-Fu. Because he thought that soon everyone would know that Zheng-Fu was the Deity stage identity that had created the chaos phenomenon earlier.

'It's up to you to manage. I don't care if they know that I'm at the Deity stage.' Zheng-Fu did not think too much about it. The reason he did not reveal himself was that he did not want to get in trouble. But since things had gotten this far, he entrusted it to De-Song-Yang to handle it.

Sigh!

"Alright, everyone! When the matter has reached this stage, I'd like to tell you who this young man really is. You all have probably heard the rumors about a young genius of the Heavenly Command Sect. And that young generation is… him."

"Is he that genius?"

"And what does that have to do with this?"

"Could it be that the Deity stage identity that unleashed energy waves before was him?"

Many people kept asking questions. Everyone wanted to know and wanted the answer. But the great skilled masters who held important positions and had tried to ask before were silent and did not say anything. They kept staring at Zheng-Fu with mixed emotions. Moreover, the Chuan Clan Leader and the Song Clan Leader, who had seen Zheng-Fu before, were even more silent and did not dare to show any expression at all. Because if Zheng-Fu was really a Deity stage identity, they were already very unlucky for daring to have trouble with him.

"Young Master, are you the one who wants the tiger-shaped jade fractions that our clan possesses?" While everyone was wondering, the Former Song Clan Leader walked up to Zheng-Fu and asked openly.

"Yes! It's me who wants them. But who are you?" Zheng-Fu nodded nonchalantly.

"I'm Song-Hu-Nan, Former Song Clan Leader, sir!" the elder replied to Zheng-Fu politely and humbly. Even though he was much older than Zheng-Fu.

"Someone from Song Clan!?" Zheng-Fu nodded again, before continuing, "I want those jade pieces. If you don't give them to me, I won't force you. But you probably know the consequences. Because I think Sectmaster De-Song-Yang has already told you all." Zheng-Fu's expression turned cold when talking about this. Because he already dislikes this clan.

"We're willing to give those jade pieces to you. But Master, please suppress your anger towards our Song Clan. Or if you want us to compensate you for anything, please just tell me. If it's something we can find, we'll find it for you!" The elder was determined not to displease Zheng-Fu. He did not hesitate to give the tiger-shaped jade fractions to Zheng-Fu. The elder already knew that Zheng-Fu wanted to punish those who had done wrong to the Da Clan. He then apologized and offered compensation.

"I don't want anything else from you. Because me and your clan don't have any conflicts with each other. But Da Clan is the one you caused problems for. And I'm on the same side as Da Clan. Therefore, I'll entrust the decision regarding the people who harmed them to Master Da-Ye. All right! Hand over all the tiger-shaped jade fractions to me. Because I have to go get the other remaining fractions from the other two clans!"

Zheng-Fu thought about it again. He decided it would be a good choice that would not cause chaos for the Sacred Heavenly Star Divine Sect. Therefore, he would let Da-Ye handle the debt himself. But he also announced that Da Clan was under his protection. So that everyone would not dare harm Da Clan again.

"The jade fractions aren't here. It was kept in the clan's treasury. If you want to get them, please wait here for a moment. I'll have someone hurry to fetch them for you right now!" The elder was intently waiting to hear what Zheng-Fu would answer about Da Clan's vengeful debt. But when he heard that Zheng-Fu did not intend to take matters into his own hands and let Da-Ye handle it himself, he began to feel much more comfortable. He immediately decided to give the jade fractions to Zheng-Fu.

"Then you should have someone rush over to bring them. I have limited time!" Zheng-Fu nodded with a cold face, before turning to look at the Chuan Clan Leader, who was hiding far behind.

Ah!

When Chuan Clan Leader saw Zheng-Fu staring at him, he could not help but flinch. He did not expect Zheng-Fu to suddenly look at him. He could only smile dryly because he did not know what Zheng-Fu was thinking.

"Clan Leader Chuan, I think we have something to talk about. Won't you come out and talk to me? Or would it be better for me to go to you myself?"

Err!
