However, the City Governor's suppressive energy did not affect Zheng-Fu at all. He still felt fine, unlike the others around him. Those people seed to be getting heavier and sweating. Only group leaders and very high-level Grandmasters felt as fine as Zheng-Fu.
'Could this be Deity Monarch Stage Grandmaster's suppressive energy!?' Zheng-Fu could feel that the City Governor must definitely have been at the Deity Monarch Stage. He considered it from the City Governor's pressure and aura that he concealed. Although Zheng-Fu could not clearly determine the energy level, he was certain that the City Governor was at that stage.
As the City Governor finished speaking, the second and third groups of newcors began to walk out more and more. They were all people from the Human Race, the Half-monster Race, and the Monster Race. In these past three groups, not a single person from the Demon Race had co out yet. That made many people who were waiting to see the mbers of the Demon Race feel disappointed.
But in reality, it was not what everyone thought. One of the newcors in the third group was soone from the Demon Race. He could just transform his body and completely erase his demonic energy wave. That made even the City Governor, who was Deity Monarch Stage Grandmaster, unable to sense it. However, there was one person who could recognize it.
Gnash!
A soft sound of gnashing of teeth suddenly sounded out among the crowd of people watching the newcors. The source of this sound ca from Zheng-Fu, who was standing and watching because he was the person who could recognize this person from the Demon Race.
'Finally! I finally t you, Demon King!'
Zheng-Fu must have clenched his teeth like this because that one was the Demon King who caused bad things to happen while he was in the gravel world. And it was the reason why Fu-Er had to leave. And he was able to know the Demon King's identity because the golden energy within his body was in opposition to the demonic negative energy. It would let him know when soone from the Demon Race was nearby. And it could even tell exactly who it was.
But even though Zheng-Fu knew that his nesis, the Demon King, was here, he still would not act now. Because there were too many people there. Moreover, Cloud Valley City's rules clearly stated that it was forbidden to kill each other. Except fighting on stage in a life-or-death maneuver.
Zheng-Fu chose to keep his anger and resentnt hidden to wait for the right opportunity and then take action.
When the ceremony to welco the new arrivals was finished, there was no one from the Demon Race other than the Demon King, who was in disguise, passing through. Many people also chose to disperse. Only the group leaders remained to select people for their groups. Of course, newcors can decide whether to join them. Anyway, not one of the chosen ones refused the invitation.
Three shichens passed...
Finally, the sky began to darken. Many lanterns were lit to illuminate the city. The crowd of people walking in the morning had greatly decreased. But even so, there were still a lot of people. Because during the night, many shops were still open. Especially restaurants and sexual pleasure service places. And so places offered both services.
In addition to those places, so taverns offer both services as well. And Zheng-Fu chose this kind of tavern to stay in. It was not because he wanted any service. But it was because the Demon King was staying there along with the group that had chosen him.
'It's very easy for to kill you. But it won't be easy to get past the Grandmasters in the group to kill you.'
Zheng-Fu had to think hard when looking at the current situation. Even though he would be able to easily kill the Demon King, having to break through a group of Grandmasters was extrely difficult. There was also a group leader who was an advanced Genuine Deity Stage Grandmaster. And even if he were successful, he would suffer a lot of damage in the clash with these people.
"Shen-Diang-Lu, from now on, you'll be one of our clan. I hope you'll do well with us. And if you do well, you can be sure that you'll receive a great reward!" a middle-aged man who was neither tall nor short spoke with a smile on his face. He was the group leader who chose Demon King Shen-Diang-Lu to join the group.
"Thank you, Leader, for choosing to join the group. I'll do my best!" Shen-Diang-Lu clasped his hands together at his chest to say thank you. But inside his heart was full of contempt and big plans. Shen-Diang-Lu knew that he was still not strong enough, including not knowing much about Deity Land. Therefore, he had to bow his head to these people.
Very good!
"All right! You all can disperse and get so rest. Tomorrow we'll leave early in the morning so that we can reach our camp before noon!" the group leader shouted to everyone in the group.
Yes, sir, Leader!!!
They all separated and went to their rooms, with each room shared by two people. Shen-Diang-Lu stayed with another newcor. Because the other people in the group already had their buddies. Therefore, the new arrivals had to stay in the sa room. And that was Zheng-Fu's good chance.
In the room where Shen-Diang-Lu stayed...
"I never thought I would live in the territory of the Human Race like this. I'm so unlucky!" Shen-Diang-Lu complained in a sad tone because he expected to be in the prosperous Demon Race area. So that he would have the opportunity to build his reputation and develop himself further.
"For you, it might be bad luck. But for , it's good luck!"
Hah!?
Who's that!?
While Shen-Diang-Lu was absentmindedly talking to himself, suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear. But when he turned to look beside him, he saw no one but emptiness and the newcor sleeping as if dead on a nearby bed.
"Or I'm just hearing things? No! It was definitely soone's voice just now!" Shen-Diang-Lu wondered if he had heard sothing. But when he thought about it again, he was sure that he actually heard soone speaking.
"Yes! You aren't just hearing things. It's who said it!"
Flap!
Shen-Diang-Lu turned around to look as the voice spoke again. And this ti, the source of the sound was not emptiness. But it was a young man standing not too far away from him.
You!
Of course, Shen-Diang-Lu rembered this young man's face very well. Because it was the face of the person who made him escape from the gravel world in sha, and it was also the face that had haunted him ever since he was in the small world. He could never forget this face.
"You still rember , right? Very well! It's good that you rember my face. Because if you forget, I'll feel even more resentnt towards you!" Zheng-Fu said in an emotionless and creepy tone. His eyes now looked extrely cold and terrifying.
"How did you co here? You.... Augh!"
But before Shen-Diang-Lu could ask any more, his neck was suddenly strangled tightly by Zheng-Fu's hand.
Choke! Choke! Choke!
After Shen-Diang-Lu realized that he had been wronged, he tried to wriggle out of Zheng-Fu's grip. But it did not work. Because Zheng-Fu's throttle was very strong and tight. As ti passed, Shen-Diang-Lu's body beca so weak that it was difficult for his limbs to move.
"It's very easy for to kill you now. But it would be too simple to let you die so easily. So that you may make ands for what you have done, I'll give you an extrely precious gift!"
Bang!
Augh!
Zheng-Fu initially thought of killing Shen-Diang-Lu. But on second thought, he would not kill him right now. Instead, he chose to destroy this Demon King's Dan-Tian Point. Because he wanted Shen-Diang-Lu to suffer for the karma he had committed. Destroying Dan-Tian Point was even worse than being killed.
No... No! Don't... No!
Shen-Diang-Lu felt great pain. He wanted it to be just a dream. He used to think about the bright future that awaited him. But then sothing unexpected happened to him. Moreover, the person who destroyed his beautiful dream was also the person who had always haunted him.
"You must pay for your karma! But wait a minute! I don't think this is enough!" Zheng-Fu thought about leaving after destroying Shen-Diang-Lu's Dan-Tian Point, but he suddenly thought that this was still too little. He turned around and looked at Shen-Diang-Lu with a cruel glint in his eyes. Before he took out his sword, and flicked it a few tis quickly.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Arrrrrrrgh!
The sound of the sword in Zheng-Fu's hand ripping through the air sounded faintly as it cut the tendons in Shen-Diang-Lu's two wrists and one ankle. And because right now the Demon King already had the energy and body of an ordinary person, the severed tendons caused him to cry out in pain and writhe miserably on the floor. It was completely different from just now when he was still a Deity Apprentice Stage Grandmaster.
Huh!
Seeing the state of Shen-Diang-Lu writhing on the ground, Zheng-Fu did not feel any pity at all. On the other hand, it indescribably cald his mind. When he finished dealing with Shen-Diang-Lu, Zheng-Fu imdiately disappeared from the room.
The next morning...
Of course, last night's incident caused a huge uproar in the entire tavern, especially to the group leader and his group. He was very angry because Shen-Diang-Lu was a talented new mber, and he also liked him very much. And he thought that the person who slept in the sa room as Shen-Diang-Lu did it.
But the man had been put on sleeping pills at the ti of the incident, and he woke up when it was over. He tried to explain to the group leader. And the group leader thought this man was quite trustworthy.
"Never mind! Even if we find the culprit, we can only vent our anger. After all, Shen-Diang-Lu was a worthless piece of trash anyway. He's no longer valuable to us. Take him to the healing house and let the physician give him basic treatnt first. Then we'll go back!" The middle-aged man tried to ignore this matter. It was not worth following up on. Because Shen-Diang-Lu was not that valuable. And even if they tracked down the culprit, Shen-Diang-Lu would never be able to return to his forr self.
Yes, sir, Leader!!!
As for the culprit, he did not go anywhere. He stood and mingled in the crowd that had gathered to watch what was happening. Because he wanted to make sure nothing went wrong. Seeing that everything was going well, he left the tavern and went for a walk in the city.
