Chapter 1168: Talking with Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe
After finishing talking with the two remaining young women, Zheng-Fu returned to his quarters to check on the mysterious person he ordered the clone figure to capture.
In Zheng-Fu's room...
Mmm... mmm nth amm wmnnn!
That mysterious person was a man in his early forties. He had purple-blue skin and quite dark-rimmed eyes, but not black. Moreover, there were two short horns on his head. From his looks, he seemed to be a cross between a Demon Race and a Monster Race. In addition to having a different skin color from humans, some parts of his body also had scales like a snake's.
The moment the mysterious man saw Zheng-Fu enter the room, he tried to say something. But because he was gagged, the sounds that came out were muffled, nonverbal, and incomprehensible.
"Calm down, don't be in such a hurry to speak. I have all day for you to talk." Zheng-Fu looked at the mysterious man with cold eyes. He also unleashes powerful killing intent on him to terrify him.
Whoosh!!!
And it was very effective. Just being exposed to Zheng-Fu's intense killing intent, the mysterious man's face visibly turned pale, and his whole body trembled.
"Take off his gag!"
Seeing that, Zheng-Fu ordered his hidden clone figure to remove the cloth covering the mysterious man's mouth.
Flap!
"All right! It's time to speak. What do you want to say to me?"
"Mas… Master, I'm... I'm not a villain, sir. I come from the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe. I just received a command from our tribe's master elders to contact you and invite you to..."
"I don't care where you come from. And I don't care what your elders want. If they want to see me, they must see me in person!" Zheng-Fu was extremely dissatisfied that the other party wanted to see him but treated him so dishonestly. Therefore, in response, he told the middle-aged man who claimed to be from the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe to go back and tell his elders to meet him there.
Let them meet you here, is that so?!
"Why?! Can't they come? If they can't come, there's no need to talk. Because I wouldn't waste my time on someone dishonest and unwilling to reveal themselves!" Seeing the middle-aged man's expression and gesture, Zheng-Fu immediately shot back indifferently. And he also repeated his original intention.
"It's not that we don't want to reveal our identities. But we cannot reveal ourselves in public, sir, Master! Because our Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe was labeled as a rebellion against the Demon Race. We're being exterminated and will be killed on the spot whenever we're seen. We must hide and dare not come out of our hiding place, sir!"
The middle-aged man tried to explain to Zheng-Fu about their tribe's situation and that now they were in danger. They were criminals who were escaping and were highly wanted by the Demon Race. And his coming out to meet Zheng-Fu would risk exposing the tribe's hidden location.
Hah!?
"Rebellion against Demon Race? And how can I believe you? Zheng-Fu looked at the middle-aged man's eyes and saw that the latter was not lying at all. But still, he wanted confirmation.
"I swear before heaven and earth and my ancestors that everything I have said is the truth. If I lie or distort the truth, may I and my tribe meet an end that will be extremely painful and pitiful!"
The middle-aged man did not know what to do to confirm, so he swore an oath to heaven and earth using his reputation and that of his ancestors as collateral.
Umm...
Seeing the middle-aged man's serious expression and solemn oath, Zheng-Fu realized that he really was not lying.
"All right! I believe you. But if you lie, even if heaven doesn't punish you, I'll be the one to do it!" Although willing to believe him, Zheng-Fu still threatened to frighten the other party.
"Thank you for believing in me, sir! Then it means that you're willing to go with me, right?" The middle-aged man felt much better when he saw Zheng-Fu's willingness to believe him. He asked again about the mission that the elders of the Tribe had assigned him.
"Yes, I'll go with you. And where is your hiding place?" Zheng-Fu thought for a moment before he agreed.
"It's not far from Black Rock City. In fact, it should only take half a day to travel. But because we need to be careful not to let outsiders know of our existence. We've to use a special, complicated route that took us one day to get to..."
"Oh… What a waste of time! It's much easier this way!"
Blop!
You!
As the middle-aged man did not finish speaking, Zheng-Fu quickly reached out and grabbed the man's head in displeasure. The man instinctively dodged Zheng-Fu's palm. But because their energy levels were too far apart, he could not dodge and was caught by the head. No matter how much he struggled, he could not escape.
"Stop struggling. I'm not going to kill you. I just want to get some information from you. Stay still and be a good boy!" Zheng-Fu was a little annoyed at the man's attempt to resist. But he could understand the feelings of the other party. If it were him, he would probably do the same. Therefore, for the other party to stop struggling, he had to explain what he was doing.
Oh!
The middle-aged man paused for a moment before trying to look at Zheng-Fu to see if he was telling the truth. But before he could get any answer, he felt as if someone was walking around in his brain and could see every nook and cranny of him as if he were not wearing any clothes at all.
Flap!
Done!
But a few moments later, that feeling immediately disappeared after Zheng-Fu released his hand from his head. It was as if the feelings just a moment ago were just a dream that disappeared so quickly when he woke up.
"Wha… what are you doing to me?" The middle-aged man tried to find an answer. And to make his mind clear, he gritted his teeth and asked.
"You don't have to ask much, Long-Che-Ge! Well, … now I know where your tribe is located. And we don't need to spend days traveling. Because I have a better route that will take us there in just a few breaths!" Zheng-Fu smiled mysteriously as he replied to the middle-aged man. Not only did he know the location of the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe, but he also knew some of that middle-aged man's personal information.
Yo… you!
Long-Che-Ge was stunned and shocked that Zheng-Fu was able to call his name correctly, even though he had not yet even introduced himself. It made him suddenly think of what had happened just now when he felt like someone was scanning all over him.
Heavenly Dimensional Gate!
But Zheng-Fu did not pay any attention to Long-Che-Ge's expression. He hurriedly summoned Heavenly Dimensional Gate and immediately pulled Long-Che-Ge's hand to lead him to go inside together.
Flap!
Hah!?
Everything happened so fast that Long-Che-Ge did not even realize it. And when he regained consciousness, he found himself back in his room within the secret area where the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe was hiding. All the while, his expression was stunned, and his mouth gasped, looking around nonstop in disbelief. Finally, his eyes landed on Zheng-Fu, who was smiling.
"How long will you be shocked like that? Didn't I tell you that I have a faster path than yours? Well! Take me to the elders you mentioned. My time is precious!" Zheng-Fu secretly laughed inwardly at Long-Che-Ge's expression. However, he still had a solemn appearance and told the middle-aged man to take him to meet the elders who wanted to meet him.
Umm...
Although Long-Che-Ge had partially regained consciousness, he was still slightly dazed. But because he had considerable life experience, he could quickly respond and took Zheng-Fu to meet the tribe's elders immediately.
At the main hall of the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe...
When the elders learned of Zheng-Fu's arrival, they immediately held an urgent meeting and prepared a place to welcome Zheng-Fu. But because time was too short, they could not organize a good reception other than preparing liquor with a little delicious food.
"We apologize for not being able to provide a better welcome, Young Master Zheng-Fu! Because you arrived earlier than we expected!" A middle-aged man with a stern face and a similar appearance to Long-Che-Ge spoke in a polite tone. It looked like he was the leader of the tribe because he was sitting on a large chair in the middle of the hall.
"Tribe Leader, you're too polite to me. Actually, I don't mind these things. So, this is more than enough. By the way, for inviting me here, what are you guys going to talk to me about?" Zheng-Fu raised his hand and waved it around to say that he did not want anything formal at all and spoke about the matter immediately without talking indirectly.
Umm!
"Young Master Zheng-Fu is such a straightforward person. Since you're asking about the matter, I won't roundabout either. We invited you here because we have a favor to ask. You probably already know that our tribe was labeled as rebels against the Demon Race and was almost completely wiped out. Therefore, we'd like to ask you to please accept us into your plan to eliminate the Demon Race. We promise that we'll definitely not hinder or destroy your plan!"
Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe Leader answered Zheng-Fu honestly. The reason he invited Zheng-Fu was because he also wanted to join Zheng-Fu's plan. His tribe had always been oppressed and persecuted by the Demon Race. Therefore, they hated the Demon Race very much. Even though they had Demon Race's blood mixed in them. And because of that, their later generations tried to erase the demon bloodline by interbreeding with more humans. They intended to give birth to new generations whose parents, on one side, were from the Half-demon, half-monster Race and the other from the Human Race.
"Umm, I got it! By the way, what will I get if I accept you all?"
Zheng-Fu heard that and nodded in understanding. But he still had not agreed because he did not yet see what benefit it would bring to him. Therefore, he directly asked what benefits he would receive from the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe.
Ah!
