Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1056: Return to Three Suns Force

"Who is Zheng-Fu!?"

Lu-Zhang was slightly suspicious when he saw the sudden change in the expressions of Zhe Chun and Yun-Xiang-Kong before they mentioned the name 'Zheng-Fu'.

"He's our comrade. Previously, there were five of us out on these missions. But Zheng-Fu has separated from us at Murky Valley because the route he took to the exploration area, according to our mission, had to pass through that valley. But we didn't dare go in, so he told us to come back first. We protested, but he still chose to enter and use that route as a pass to the target area!"

Zhe-Chun gave a brief explanation to Lu-Zhang. He knew that Lu-Zhang was a good person, and he could tell this to the young man. Even though he lived in the First Dormitory, where the people there often bullied the people in the Third Dormitory, Lu-Zhang was not that kind of person. He usually kept himself quiet and did not bother anyone. Most of his time was spent going out on missions. So, Zhe-Chun dared to tell him about it.

Hah!

"Has he lost his mind? Everyone knows how dangerous the valley was for cultivators below the Genuine Deity Stage. Even I don't dare pass through that valley. By the way, where is the mission area that you all received?" Lu-Zhang did not expect Zheng-Fu to be this reckless. Even he, an adventurous and risk-taking person, dared not pass through that valley alone.

"Here it is." Zhe-Chun took out a mission paper and gave it to Lu-Zhang.

Hah!

This place!

"Is there something wrong?" Zhe-Chun was uneasy when he saw Lu-Zhang's strange expression.

"I just returned from this place. It was nothing but a deserted cave abandoned by monster beasts. And I'm certain that this cave is not a mining cave at all. So, I came back to report the results of my survey!" Lu-Zhang replied without any concealment that he had already received this mission as well. It was very strange that Zhe-Chun's group was still able to receive a mission even though the young man had already received it before.

How is that possible!?

"If you've already received this mission, why is it still on the mission board? The situation doesn't appear to be good. I must immediately contact Zheng-Fu and tell him to come back!" Zhe-Chun was so surprised. Because it's impossible that the same exploration mission could be taken twice. But if it were a monster beast hunting mission, that was possible. Therefore, he felt that this matter was probably abnormal, so he immediately contacted Zheng-Fu.

Returning to Zheng-Fu...

Hah?

"Did Zhe-Chun contact me?"

While Zheng-Fu was traveling towards the target area, he felt his Life Crystal vibrate as if someone was contacting him. And when he checked, he found that it was Zhe-Chun.

"What's the matter, Zhe-Chun?" Zheng-Fu responded to the contact and immediately asked Zhe-Chun.

"Zheng-Fu, where are you now? How are you? Are you all right?" Zhe-Chun's voice sounded extremely anxious and worried.

Zheng-Fu frowned and immediately asked back, "What happened, Zhe-Chun? I'm fine now. And I'm already on my way to the target area. I expect to arrive soon." Zheng-Fu did not know what was going on. He hurriedly asked back and reported his situation.

"Have you passed through Murky Valley? And did you encounter any abnormalities in the valley?" Zhe-Chun did not think that Zheng-Fu would be able to pass through the valley safely. Because Lu-Zhang had just said that there were many monster beasts in the valley. And they were in turmoil.

"I have been passing through that valley for a while now. But why do you ask? And where are you all now? Have you returned to the force yet?" Zheng-Fu did not understand why Zhe-Chun asked like that. But he detailed that he had made it through the valley and was safe.

"We haven't returned to the force yet. We just finished hunting the last monster beast of the mission we received. By the way, we just met Comrade Lu-Zhang, who is a member of our force. But that's not important. The really important thing that I have to tell you is that Lu-Zhang also accepted a mission to explore the same area as us. And he had just returned from that place. He said there was nothing there but an abandoned cave! So, you should come back. Because I'm afraid it might be..."

"A trap?" Zheng-Fu knew what Zhe-Chun was going to say next. He was able to piece together the story Zhe-Chun told. Before he continued saying, "I understood. I'll hurry back now. But it might take me another few days to get back there. You guys should go back and wait for me at the Force first. Because maybe you guys will be targeted as well." Zheng-Fu could have gone back to Zhe-Chun's group back then, but he did not want to do that. Because no Deity Apprentice Stage cultivator could travel in such a very short time. And if he did, it would be noticeable. So, he told him that he would take a few more days instead.

"I understood! The others and I will go back and wait for you at the dormitory. You be careful!"

"Thank you!"

Toot!!!

Zheng-Fu immediately cut off contact with Zhe-Chun as soon as he finished speaking. He thought that this might be the work of the same person who sent people to secretly stalk them. Now that he knew that the target area had already been surveyed, Zheng-Fu considered a new plan. He thought of trying to find the monsters that were injured from the fight with the Savage Scaled Snake King instead. Maybe he would get one more Genuine Deity Stage monster beast remains, including possibly getting another monster soul as well.

Two days later...

Kraek!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Groooaaan!!!

Hah!

"You really are troublesome. Even while injured, you still have this terrible ability. But even if you struggle, there's no use. You'll never survive!"

[Aqua-dragon Deity Sword Stance Skill]

Groan!!!

Swoop!

Kraek!!!

After Zheng-Fu was informed that the area he had to explore had already been explored. He headed back to Murky Valley again to hunt down the injured monster beast. He was not sure what it was or where it was. Therefore, Zheng-Fu needed two days to hunt it. Finally, he encountered that monster beast. It was a Four Arms Mole Monster that had an energy level at the fifth level of the Genuine Deity Stage.

When Zheng-Fu encountered it, it was fighting another monster beast. But the monster beast it fought was weaker than it was. Even though it was injured, it could overcome. However, it lost some energy. Since Zheng-Fu had seen it fight first, he knew that it was not wasting energy or seriously injured as he had thought. However, that allowed him to plan how to deal with it.

He took the opportunity when it was fighting another monster beast to sneak attack it with a small needle and compress energy into it. It certainly did not cause any serious harm or injury to Four Arms Mole. But it caused that monster to be distracted in the fight quite a bit. That would give Zheng-Fu some advantage when fighting it.

In the end, he used his Aqua-dragon Deity Sword Stance skill to end his battle with the Four Arms Mole Monster. He did well in his final move. And he was also lucky enough to get its monster soul.

"Luckily, I also got its monster soul. Well! It's better to go back."

Zheng-Fu was in a very good mood at that moment. He thought he should go back to Zhe-Chun and the others. Because he had already spent two days hunting down that Four Arms Mole Monster. It should be just the right time for him to travel through this valley without making Zhe-Chun and the others suspicious of him.

The next day, in the hall of the Third Dormitory...

"You're truly lucky to be able to return safely. I think that you'd have suffered some harm in that valley." Yun-Xiang-Kong was very happy to see Zheng-Fu that morning.

"Someone like me dies hard. Besides, I have high survival skills. I won't be harmed easily. By the way, about the exploration mission we received, how can it be repeated?" Zheng-Fu answered Yun-Xiang-Kong before changing his expression to a serious one and asking about the mission.

"I have already asked the Mission Tower Senior Master about this matter. He said there was an error in the registration earlier. He also didn't know how it happened. However, we were lucky to find out first because we met Lu-Zhang along the way. Otherwise, you'd be wasting your time traveling!" Zhe-Chun responded based on what he found out when he went back and asked the Mission Tower Senior Master about the repeat-registered mission.

"It's all right! At least we were able to complete several monster beast hunting missions. And we also received compensation from the Senior Master for this matter!" Yun-Xiang-Kong consoled Zheng-Fu, thinking that Zheng-Fu would feel sorry for not getting anything from that mission.

"I don't think too much about rewards. Because I brought back something better than the scores from that mission during this trip." Zheng-Fu really ignored those scores because he got a lot of monster beast remains and monster souls from this journey, their value was even higher than the mission rewards.

Hah?

"What did you get?" Yun-Xiang-Kong was very interested in what Zheng-Fu had brought back.

"I got this one!"

Thump!

Hah!

This... this is...!

As soon as Zheng-Fu took out the item and placed it on the table, the expressions of the four people immediately changed. Especially Zhe-Chun, who knew how valuable this thing was.

"How did you get it? The Four Arms Mole Monster's highest energy level was at the advanced Genuine Deity Stage. And from what I can see and sense, the owner of this monster soul has energy no less than an advanced Heavenly Deity Originate Stage!"

Not only did Zhe-Chun know what kind of monster beast this monster soul belonged to, but he could also sense how strong it was.

"That's right! Before this Four Arms Mole Monster dies, it has energy at the fifth level of the Genuine Deity Stage." Zheng-Fu did not think to conceal the true level of this monster beast before it died. Normally, if it were not for an appraiser with a high level of skill or a cultivator with a higher energy level than that monster beast, they would not be able to perceive its level clearly. Like Zhe-Chun, who could sense it but could not tell for sure. And the level he estimated was lower than the reality.

Hah!

The fifth level of the Genuine Deity Stage!

Shhhhhhh!!!

"Lower your voice! This would be a big deal if anyone heard about it. You aren't careful at all!" Zhe-Chun immediately reached out to cover Yun-Xiang-Kong's mouth when the latter accidentally let out a loud exclamation. Because this matter might create problems for them.

I'm sorry!
