Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1095 1095: Shaking the Nerves of the Hong Clan's Members

Half an hour passed, at the resting point on the hill...

"It's already been half an hour. Young Master has not returned yet. Should we follow in?" one of the elders asked impatiently.

"Young Master said that if the time comes, let us immediately follow him. It's time now, so we..."

Flap!

"You guys don't have to go. We had to change our plans a bit. Today, we won't attack the Hong Clan. Because they had already realized that several of their surveillance units were gone. Therefore, I want you all to return to the Wu Clan first. Because my new plan needs to be done carefully and cannot use many people. Otherwise, it'll be noticeable!"

Young Master!!!

Zheng-Fu suddenly appeared and told Wu-Qi-Fong to bring all his men back to the Wu Clan. As for his new plan, Zheng-Fu could not explain what he would do. All he could say was that he would have to do it by himself alone.

"Would that be good, Young Master? At least with us accompanying you, we can be your shield if you encounter danger!" Wu-Qi-Fong immediately became extremely worried. He did not care if he could deal with the Wu Clan. What he cared about was Zheng-Fu's safety.

"You've seen how strong I am. If I really wanted to attack the Hong Clan by force, I'd have already done so. But I have seen that not all Hong Clan people are bad. Therefore, I don't plan on killing the entire clan. I'll only destroy their foundations. And after that, whatever will happen depends on what fate brings!"

Zheng-Fu was not that ruthless. He did not plan to surround and kill everyone in the Hong Clan. Because there were also children, women, and old people living there. Some of them had never known the cruelty and evil deeds of many clan members. So, he changed his plan to attack their foundation instead. That was to make the Hong Clan lose everything. Whether it was money and treasure or resources used for cultivation, he would seize it all.

Ah!

"Then, Young Master, please take care of yourself. So, you're going to go back again, right?" Wu-Qi-Fong heard that and could only nod. He was unwilling to go back. But if he disobeyed Zheng-Fu's orders, that meant he did not trust Zheng-Fu.

"This is not my true figure. I'm in the Hong Clan's manor now. All right! You guys can go back right now. I'll activate my dimensional gate to bring you all back. So, you guys won't waste any time traveling!" Zheng-Fu smiled and shook his head. Because this was only the clone figure that he used as a medium for mental communication. His true figure was still hidden in the Hong Clan. It would be easier to use the clone figure. So that he would not have to waste time breaking through the defensive curtain and warning spell curtain to leave and re-enter.

Yes, sir!

After sending Wu Clan's men back to their clan and summoning his clone figure back, Zheng-Fu then disguised himself as a member of the Hong Clan and secretly mixed with them.

The next morning...

Throughout the night, Hong Clan's members were in a sleepless mood because of the announcement that the enemy had invaded and that many of the surveillance units had been exterminated. But after they waited until morning, there was no sign of an enemy at all. Having to stay awake all night like this made them feel exhausted and want to go back to sleep, especially the guards who were keeping watch.

"It's already morning, why haven't they invaded yet?"

"How would I know? I'm not the enemy! If I knew, I wouldn't just be standing dumbly like this!"

Yaaawn!

"I'm hungry and crazy sleepy. When will the shift end? I can hardly stand anymore!"

"Me too. If the enemies invade right now, I don't know how I'll have the strength to fight!"

Huh!

"If you all are exhausted from just this work, then just die. Our Hong Clan doesn't have such weak people!"

While the guards were complaining about their exhaustion from standing guard and patrolling the manor all night, a middle-aged man with a high position in the clan shouted in displeasure. Because it was the former clan leader's order, no matter how tired they were, they had to follow it without complaining.

Elder Hong-Tu!

"I know you guys are tired. But no matter how tired you are, you have to do it. Otherwise, you'll be punished according to the clan's rules. And I think you guys definitely don't want to be punished, right?" Hong-Tu urged those people. He knew that everyone was extremely afraid of being punished.

No, sir!

We don't want to be punished!

We'll do as you command!

The nearly closed eyes of the young men guarding the spot suddenly widened when they heard the words 'the clan's punishment'. Because everyone knew how terrible the punishments according to the clan's rules were. Therefore, they did not dare to show any signs of fatigue anymore.

Very good!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Elder Hong-Tu, sir. There is a command from the clan meeting to temporarily suspend the surveillance, and everyone can go home to rest, sir!" But suddenly, a messenger brought a command from the clan meeting to notify the elder. And with that command, the young men who had previously had stressful faces immediately smiled.

Yay!

We have a break!

Oh, my warm bed!

"Everyone, be quiet!" Hong-Tu frowned in confusion. Normally, for such an important matter, he would be summoned to receive the command by himself. But this time, why did they let the messenger inform him? So, he asked to clear up his doubts, "Why did the elders let you deliver a message to me instead of calling me to the meeting?"

"I don't know about that either, sir. This is a direct command from the Former Clan Leader. If you want to know, you must ask him yourself, sir!" The messenger was unable to answer that question. Because he only received an order.

You!

"All right! If this is a direct command from the Former Clan Leader, then everyone can go back and rest!" Hong-Tu actually wanted to delay the command and ask in person. But he knew the former clan leader's personality well, so he chose to obey first. After all, it definitely was not a fake order.

But Hong-Tu did not know that at that moment the messenger was secretly smiling with satisfaction. Because that person was Zheng-Fu, who was secretly disguised as someone from the Hong Clan. As for the command, it was something he created using the former clan leader's fierce personality to make these people believe. Besides Hong-Tu, many elders were fooled by him and did as he commanded.

In the Hong Clan's main meeting hall...

Creeeaaak!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Hah!?

"Why did you all come here? Why aren't you at your unit on duties?!" The former clan leader, who was sitting with the pillar elders thinking about a plan, frowned displeasedly when he saw many elders who were sent to the surveillance units returning to the hall.

Hah!

"Didn't you give the command for us to come back and allow the guards to go rest?" One of the elders also frowned and asked in shock.

I command you all to come back!?

"Did your brains flip reverse? When did I order it?" The former clan leader was shocked when he heard the elder's question. At first, he was very angry and thought of punishing them. But when he saw their expressions and eyes that were not lying, he immediately knew what was going on.

"Who brought that message to you?" The former clan leader immediately stood up and asked with a serious expression.

"I don't know what his name is. But I know for sure that he's our messenger. Because the robe he was wearing definitely belonged to the messenger unit!" The elder replied.

"Summon all messengers to gather here!" The former clan leader thought even harder than before. And he did not want his idea to come true at all. If it were true, it meant that the enemy had already secretly entered his clan's manor. And that person could easily run around his manor and manipulate his people.

Yes, sir!

After the former clan leader gave the order, all of the clan's messengers gathered in the main hall. The chief of the messenger unit had a very tense expression on his face at being suddenly summoned. But no matter how worried he was, he did not ask anything.

"Hong-Shu, you're the messenger unit chief, tell me how many people are in your unit?" the former clan leader immediately asked the chief of the messenger unit. Because a chief must have known the members under his control.

"Thirty-two people in total, sir! And I know all of them, whether by name or appearance. What happened, sir?" Hong-Su quickly answered before asking back with a fearful expression.

Thirty-two people?

Knowing the exact number, the former clan leader immediately counted all the messengers in front of him.

"Well, everyone is here!"

He found that all the messengers were there and no one was missing. It could be said that if the enemy killed the messenger and then disguised himself as that person, that enemy must also have been among the thirty-two messengers in front of him. But if it was not like he thought, it meant that the enemy had not killed anyone at all. That person just created a fake identity to trick his clan's members. And if it was the latter, it showed that the enemy was so skilled at disguising himself that he could impersonate anyone.

'If it's according to my latter idea, anyone can be a hidden enemy. So, how can I check who is real and who is fake?' The more the former clan leader thought, the more his head ached. He could not understand what the enemy wanted to do. That person did not attack but instead chose to shake their nerves.

"All right! You all can go now. Let's assume that this matter has never happened. After this, do your best to set up guard duty around the manor. If you encounter any enemies or suspicious people, inform me immediately!" The former clan leader did not want the entire clan to fall into chaos, so he did not mention his thoughts. Moreover, he was afraid that the enemy would disguise himself as someone and secretly stay in this room. If he spoke out loud, it would be like tipping off the enemy. Therefore, he had to keep things quiet for now.

Yes, sir!!!

The former clan leader's idea was indeed correct. At that time, Zheng-Fu disguised himself as a guard and stood watching out in front of the room to eavesdrop on what the former clan leader thought about that matter. Because he was confident that the elders who had been manipulated by him would have to report to the former clan leader.

'I never thought this old man would be this difficult to play with. But come on, I still have many methods that I haven't used yet. Let's see how long you can endure this!' Zheng-Fu admired the former clan leader for being able to tolerate the turbulent situation he had created. But this was just the beginning. Zheng-Fu still had many plans. He believed that the Former Hong Clan Leader would definitely lose his patience soon.
