Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1094 1094: Take a Walk in the Hong Clan’s Manor

"No need to worry! You guys rested here first. I'll go look inside their clan and defeat some of the guards to clear the way. After half an hour, you all follow in!" Zheng Fu thought for a moment before he offered himself to go out and clear the way for the others. Because he did not need to rest from traveling this far. Even if he had to travel another two or three thousand li, he would still be fine.

"Don't do that, Young Master. If you're going, let us go too. After all, this is the Hong Clan's territory. If something happens, at least we could…"

"You may still be all right. But look at your people. Let them rest first. Moreover, you should be with them here. Because if anything happens, you'll be able to help them handle it!" Zheng-Fu hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt Wu-Qi-Fong and explained the reason. And the important thing, but he did not say it, was that if he brought other people along at the same time, it would only be a burden on him.

Umm!

"If that's the case, let's take it that way! Then please take care of yourself!" Wu-Qi-Fong turned to look at his men, who all had traces of fatigue that they tried to hide, and accepted Zheng-Fu's decision.

Good!

Then see you at the Hong Clan in half an hour!

Yes, sir, Young Master!

While Zheng-Fu and Wu-Qi-Fong were talking, dozens of li away, two people stood atop a tall tree and were looking at them with expressions of interest and disbelief on their faces.

"I never thought the Wu Clan would move at a time like this. And there was also that young man. From his appearance, he should be Wu Clan's secret card that helped them deal with Hong Clan Leader Hong-Xuan!" A middle-aged man wearing a black robe said after he assessed the situation.

"It must be like you said! But strangely, I can't feel his true energy. As far as I could tell at first, he was at the Deity Apprentice Stage. But now he's at the Heavenly Deity Originate Stage. And I think that is still not his true level," another middle-aged man added, furrowing his brow curiously. Even though he was a third-level Deity Monarch Stage cultivator, he could not detect Zheng-Fu's true energy level.

Whoosh!!!

"Don't interfere in other people's affairs. Excessive curiosity can lead to disaster. This is the first and last warning. Get out of here!"

Hah!

Just then, at the necks of the two middle-aged men, daggers were pointed at them without them realizing it. The person speaking was Zheng-Fu's clone figure, and Zheng-Fu used his skill to transfer his mind to it and spoke to those two men.

"We... we have no ill intentions! We... we just received orders from our force to investigate the matter. Please don't hold any grudges against us. We'll quickly get out of here and keep our mouths shut. We'll act like we've never been here!" One of the two middle-aged men said in a frightened tone. Because he knew that if he did anything wrong, the dagger at his neck would cut his windpipe and major artery in his neck immediately. And when that time came, no matter how good he was, there was no way he could survive.

Whooosh!!!

"Remember your words!"

Sir!!!

At the end of the middle-aged man's answer, the dagger pointed at their throats, and the two figures behind them suddenly disappeared as if they had never existed before. But there was still another voice warning them. And it was the same voice that had threatened them in the first place.

"We must hurry and get out of here!"

Umm!

"I completely agree!"

The two did not think much of it anymore. Because if they did not hurry up, and the other party changed their mind and thought about killing them, there was no way they could escape. So, the two middle-aged men quickly retreated and distanced themselves from that place as quickly as possible.

Zheng-Fu had previously sensed the existence of the two of them, so he ordered the clone figures to sneak up behind them while they were busy paying attention to him and Wu-Qi-Fong. Before he used his Mind Transferring Skill to transfer his mind to the clone figure and take control of the two of them. And when he was finished, he transferred his mind back to his body and summoned his clone figures back. Then he called the two of them to come out again and stand beside him. He made it seem like the two clone figures could move very fast. This was all a plan to trick the two middle-aged men into believing that his clone figures were so strong identities that they decided to retreat quickly.

"I must hurry and end this mission as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it will definitely become a big deal!"

After the two middle-aged men left, Zheng-Fu thought that he should hurry up. Because he believed that there were definitely several people as strong as the two men lurking in that area to keep watch.

After checking around him in a radius of a hundred li and finding no one else, Zheng-Fu immediately led his two clone figures toward the Hong Clan's manor. Soon, he arrived at the entrance to the Hong Clan's area. Along the way, Zheng-Fu encountered many surveillance units and killed them before they could even notice him. This allowed him to arrive there quietly and without any problems.

"If it were anyone else, they would have already made themselves aware. Fortunately, I have the skills of concealing myself and hiding energy. Their surveillance units were considered ready and tight. Although the strength of the people in the units was not very high, the layout of each unit is considered to be following the principles of combat tactics. Hmm! By the way, how should I deal with their defensive curtain and warning spell curtain?" Zheng-Fu admired the Hong Clan's surveillance unit quite a lot. If it had been someone else who had invaded, those people would have already been caught. But for him, it was very easy. However, the surveillance units were not the real problem. His problem was the defensive curtain and warning spell curtain that the Hong Clan had carved.

Zheng-Fu had never seen tactical formations like this before, so he had to stop to examine them and consider how to deal with them. Because if he passed through the gate without permission, it would alert those inside that there was an intruder.

In the Hong Clan's main hall...

"Now, everyone who went on missions and was stationed outside has returned to the clan, sir, Former Clan Leader. As for the surveillance units, we ordered them to increase their inspection distance by another hundred li. Even if a rat enters our area, we'll know immediately!" A middle-aged man who was almost fifty said with a serious face.

"That's not enough! Our enemies are in the dark while we're in the open. We don't know when they'll attack us. Therefore, add more guards to the manor and the surrounding areas. I don't want that mistake to happen again. No matter what, our Hong Clan will get over this damn trouble!" The elder was extremely uneasy and worried. Even if the surveillance distance was extended by another hundred li or the defensive curtain and warning spell curtain were activated, he still felt bad.

"We'll go take care of everything right away, sir!"

Bang!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thud!

Former Clan Leader!

"We can't contact any of our surveillance units sent out to investigate further within a hundred li, sir. Even the units closest to our clan, we also can't contact them. It's assumed that they had all been defeated by the enemy. Therefore, I ordered our people to reunite within the Clan without reporting you first. And…"

"You did the right thing! If you wait to inform me first, it might not be in time. And are you sure that we really can't contact the surveillance units?" The elder looked at the young man who had come to report to him with a look of admiration. Because his actions were the right things.

"I'm confident, sir. It's impossible for us not to be able to contact them. Because we've strategically positioned our surveillance units so that they can easily communicate with each other. But it appeared that each unit also could not communicate with each other. So, I don't think it's a coincidence. But it must be because the enemy has already killed them all!" The young man replied confidently. Because he had experienced something like this before.

Huh!

"They probably thought that attacking in the middle of the night like this would catch us unawares! Order everyone in the clan to spread out! If they encounter enemies that can be fought, kill them. If they can't fight, retreat inside the defensive curtain. We'll fight by alternating defense and attack!" The elder had a sneering and disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth. He was very confident that no enemy would be able to get past their defensive curtains. Because even he cannot destroy those defensive curtains with energy alone.

Yes, sir!

After the order was issued, all the Hong Clan people who could fight gathered around the manor, actively and alertly. Everyone was ready to fight and not at all afraid of the enemy invading. But they did not know that an enemy had now entered their manor.

As soon as Zheng-Fu learned the function of the defensive curtain tactical formation spell and the warning tactical formation spell, he hurriedly solved it. And he opened a small opening through which he could sneak in and closed it as before. Because if he deactivated it all, the enemy would definitely be aware of it. But at that time, he thought of sneaking in to take a walk inside the Hong Clan first and then take action.

"The Hong Clan is not too bad. Unfortunately, they act evil and like to oppress others. Otherwise, they would probably be many times more progressed than this." When Zheng-Fu entered the manor, he found that it looked very nice. It had many flower gardens and training courtyards. There were also countless small houses. But what caught Zheng-Fu's attention was the large underground secret chamber. Because a secret chamber like this could not be anything other than a treasury. So, Zheng-Fu set his sights on that chamber.

However, for him to sneak into the secret chamber was quite difficult. Because in front of the entrance, there were two third-level of Genuine Deity Stage cultivators guarding. There were also five sixth and seventh levels of the Genuine Deity Stage cultivators hiding in the dark corners. If he broke in, the enemy would definitely know. Therefore, Zheng-Fu waited and observed the situation first.

'I'll wait here to see the situation. If nothing changes or I can't find an opportunity to enter, I need to change destinations first. Besides, I still haven't sent word to Wu Clan Leader that I have entered the Hong Clan, but I haven't removed their defensive curtain yet. If they arrived and broke in, it wouldn't be good!' Zheng-Fu thought that if he could not find a way to sneak in, he would retreat from the manor first to inform the Wu Clan people that they should not enter there yet. Because he had just come up with a new plan. And his new plan was not to fight with force, but with brains and strategy.
