After the black-robed man had committed suicide, Zheng-Fu brought his body back to the restaurant because he wanted to check sothing.
Of course, what happened outside, there would be people who witnessed this event, and seeing that Zheng-Fu brought the figure of the black-robed man into the room, a crowd of people started to gather and chat about what had happened.
Aside from the people in that area, the cultivators in the city were all aware of it because of the energy waves released by Zheng-Fu. And they could perceive the energy to be extrely strong, especially within the Beyond Earth Sect, the gathering place of the cultivators.
"Who does this energy wave belong to? Why is it so strong?"
"Even Sectmaster Dong wouldn't be that strong… Or a martial master from another land coming to this city?"
"Damn, how could it be like that!?"
"But from what I know, within our land, the strongest people can only be found in the capital. Maybe it's a great martial master from the capital city."
"Um... What you said makes sense. But who's that great martial master? I really want to know!"
"I want to know too. By the way, a few months ago, did you know that there was a group of people who were given the privilege of being the disciples without passing the test? And they have also beco the inner disciples."
"I heard that they are young people from the capital as well."
"Sigh... They were so lucky to be the inner disciples without having to pass the test like us. Look at us, we're still just outer disciples. I don't know when I'll be able to advance my disciple level."
Not only the disciples of the sect, but also the senior masters, which were none other than Dan-Chun-Gu's group, could feel this energy wave, but their faces showed no shock. Instead, they were glad.
They knew exactly to whom this energy wave belonged. So how could they not be happy? Dong-Kuang, in particular, was the first to soar out of his mansion the mont he touched it. Then he was followed by Dan-Chun-Gu, Fu-Tao-Qi, Lang-Guang-Kuang, Wu-Xiao, Yan-Yu, Ji-Zhung-Gong, and Dong-Chen and his group.
Everyone imdiately focused on the direction of the energy wave they felt. As they soared out, besides a group of Dong-Kuang, Dong-Chen and his team were also riding out on horses. And with the incident that all the senior masters got out like this, causing the current of chaos to rise again.
Aside from all the senior masters and a sectmaster who had left in a hurry, several disciples riding their monster beasts of burden followed them.
"What happened? Why did the sectmaster and the senior masters all rush out like that?"
"How can I know? I'm here with you!"
"Who was the group just now? Judging from the robes, they should be the inner disciples, right?"
"Hey, you! I already told you that I don't know. Why do you still ask !?"
"Ah! I'm just complaining alone. I didn't even ask you!"
There was no one who did not talk about it. And, of course, they would talk for a long ti until they got to know the truth. When so of them ca to, they ran after them to see exactly what was going on. Since there was no prohibition against going outside or following them, many disciples began to move and run after them.
Back to the tavern (the restaurant)…
At this mont, the young man who claid to be Zheng-Fu sank to the floor with a ghostly trembling figure for fear of death. Just now, if Zheng-Fu had not helped, he would have died. But no matter what, the young man was still terrified.
"Are they the ones who hired you?" Zheng-Fu asked the young man as soon as he entered the restaurant.
Sob…sob…sob
"Please! Don't kill ! Don't kill ! I'm scared. Please let go. I've completely surrendered!" The young man did not answer Zheng-Fu's question.
He just murmured like a madman, and his body bent like a shrimp because he was so frightened.
"I don't think you'll get anything else from him, Zheng-Fu," Elder Hai-Tu said, seeing the state of the unconscious young man.
"But who are they? Their assassination skills are very high. I couldn't feel the attack just now. Even you could only realize it when the knife ca so close, less than ten pings," Hai-Dong also spoke up. He was extrely suspicious of the identity of these black-robed n because this man's assassination skills were extrely advanced, as he had never seen before.
"From what I saw, they're probably from the Shadow Assassin Organization," Elder Hai-Tu suddenly said, realizing sothing.
The Shadow Assassin Organization?
"I've never heard of it before," Song-Lun and the two brothers exclaid in unison.
"I've never heard of it either. Elder, what do you know about this organization?" Zheng-Fu had never heard of this assassin organization either, so he asked Elder Hai-Tu for more information.
"I don't know much. As far as I know, the Shadow Assassin Organization consists of high-level great martial masters who take on the assassination job or any job that the employer hires them to do. No one knows their exact identity and address."
"Nobody knows where they are, so how can they contact them?" with curiosity, Hai-Dong asked, which of the three brothers wanted to know as well.
"I don't know about that because I don't like such depraved thods," Elder Hai-Tu imdiately turned to Hai-Dong and answered with a displeased look on his face.
"So strange… From what Elder said, they should be able to do it themselves. But why would they have to use soone else? So what is their purpose for doing this?" Zheng-Fu felt sothing strange about it because if it were soone from the Shadow Assassin Organization, they would have actually done it themselves. But instead, they hired young n to do such nonsense as this. Why?
"It's true as you said. They're so talented, so why did they hire this man? Or are they lazy?" Hai-Dong also agreed with Zheng-Fu when he thought of it.
"We'll co to a conclusion on this matter later. First of all, Ming-Mu, Lou-Wei, Yue-Lin, and Jin-Xi-Fang, the four of you, absolutely don't go anywhere alone during this ti. If anything happens, use these talismans," Zheng-Fu warned the four of them, handing each one a sheet of talisman on which the four talismans had engraved the Immortal Protecting Spell.
Zheng-Fu had spent his little free ti making up a number of these talismans to give to his people for self-defense. This Protecting Spell could defend against attacks from the interdiate Immortal Soul martial masters three tis. Even if it was only three tis, it could save their lives.
"Thank you, Young Master, for your kindness."
The four of them accepted the talismans with great pleasure and willingness. They never thought of denying it at all because the four of them knew how important what Zheng-Fu had provided was. They could save their lives when they were faced with life-threatening danger, and they would have a chance of survival.
All of a sudden, after the four had taken the talismans, the sound of the footsteps of many people loudly echoed from the ground floor of this restaurant. And Zheng-Fu knew very well who the visitors were. He grinned with delight but said nothing, and soon the door opened.
Creak!
A large crowd of people rushing through the door knelt down in unison. Then they clasped their hands over their chests and spoke together.
"Respect, Young Master!!!"
Among these people were the group of Dong-Kuang and the group of Dong-Chen. Many martial masters and cultivators also rushed to this restaurant, and their arrival shocked the townspeople and travelers. They ran after those people to see what was going on.
"Just now, it was Sectmaster Dong?"
"And there are the senior masters of the Beyond Earth Sect as well."
"Where are they in such a hurry? Or is sothing happening? Let's go! Let's go and see!"
But as the residents were about to follow, a riot rang out again as dozens of cavalryn led their way to make way for the luxurious chariot.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!!"
Huh...?
"Aren't they the city governor's soldiers?"
"Not just soldiers; that carriage, I rember. It's the city governor's chariot!"
"Damn! Even the city governor ca along? I can't wait. I need to hurry and see."
From the beginning, they were already very curious, but as they saw the city governor's carriage, everyone did not even wait. They imdiately increased their steps to follow him to see with their own eyes what had happened, which caused many influential and elderly people to rush in that direction.
On the third floor of the restaurant...
"Everyone, get up," Zheng-Fu reached out to touch Dong-Kuang's shoulder and told everyone to stand up.
"Finally, you're back," Dong-Kuang spoke up as clear water flowed from his eyes.
"It's been a while, everyone. How are you guys?" Zheng-Fu had the sa mood as Dong-Kuang. He had been away from there for several months. During that ti, he only communicated with Dong-Kuang through personal communication talismans.
"We're fine. How is Young Master? What about Young Miss?" Dan-Chun-Gu was the second person who spoke up and asked Zheng-Fu with doubt.
However, Dan-Chun-Gu's question caused Zheng-Fu's smiling face to turn into a very sad and tornted face. Everyone could feel that sothing bad had definitely happened to their young miss.
"She has returned to her ho," Zheng-Fu did not explain much. He only said that Qi-Fu-Er had returned to her hotown but did not say what had happened.
"She has returned to her ho!?"
Everyone still did not understand what that ant. But no one thought to ask the real reason because everyone saw Zheng-Fu's face and knew how much pain he was in.
"Young Master, don't be sad. Let's just go and visit her at her ho," Wu-Xiao was a woman; she had no idea what Zheng-Fu's thoughts were, but she probably spoke out to encourage Zheng-Fu, as the others nodded in agreent.
"Of course, I will definitely go see her. But now is not the ti. When the ti cos, I'll take you all to et her at her ho," Zheng-Fu shook off his sad face and said firmly and earnestly, staring out of the window, looking at the very vast sky. And at that mont, he realized sothing before exclaiming.
"That's right! Yes! There is another way. But now, this chapter is over. Let's wait for the next chapter, and I'll tell you what thod it is." When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he did not hesitate and imdiately ran away, disappearing into the forest.
