When the general finished his sentence, he took his troops back to In-See City, along with the owner of the city. All alchemists also walked back to their homes with the troops. Only one alchemist remained at the cave…

"Elder! Why don't you go home?" Tong-Kuang asked an elderly alchemist…

"I'd like to wait for the kid. I want to talk to him. I'd like to wait here, so I won't be your burden. Don't worry about me." The elderly alchemist said while smiling at Tong-Kuang…

"Alright! If you want to wait for young master, that's fine. But you have to stay close to us." Tong-Kuang said in a gentle voice…

"Thank you very much!"

Tong-Kuang and the rest of his group were the only ones who stayed behind. Everyone had separated. The whole wiping out of the Cult of Savage Evil was supposed to be the secret among all of them. They agreed not to tell the news to anyone in the region…

Zheng-Fu was the one who asked everyone not to tell anyone about the wipeout. He told them that the more people knew about this, the worse things would get…

This wipeout could not be exposed at all because the people from the cult at the rest of the branches would not take it well. It would be bad for this news to be spread and reach the cult in other branches…

In the cave, Zheng-Fu had just moved up to the next level of the Golden Core stage. The next thing he did was to balance his new energy level. It took him a few shichens before all of his new energy would fall into neat places and be balanced…

Whoosh!

"I could feel the tremendous amount of energy within me. Breaking through to the fourth level of the Golden Core stage gives me much more energy than I've ever had." Zheng-Fu said while feeling pleased…

"Alright! The next thing I need to do is to go back to the woman behind that spelled gate. I don't know who she is and why she is put there. But if they had to put a spell on the gate of the cell, it means that she must be someone significant!" Zheng-Fu said while rubbing his chin…

"I don't think contemplating about her would help solve the problem! I guess I'll have to find out myself!" Zheng-Fu turned to look at the monster and its baby and said, "Are you guys coming with me?"

Roar!

The Red Jaguar Monster nodded in agreement with Zheng-Fu…

"Great! Let's go!"

When Zheng-Fu had made the decision, he soared forward into the cell area. The monster and its baby came with him too…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Not long after that Zheng-Fu and the monsters arrived at the gate that had a spell on. There were two small platforms on the right and left-hand sides of the gate. They were the place where the sculptures used to be. One of the sculptures was destroyed by Zheng-Fu. The other one became Zheng-Fu's personal puppet of the soul...

Sob! Sob! Sob!

As Zheng-Fu approached the entrance of the cell, the woman's moans started to get loud…

Gulp!

"Why do you have to greet me with that spooky moaning!" Zheng-Fu said while taking a big gulp in…

"Help! Help me!"

The woman's moan was completely horrifying and spooky. Every time she moaned; it was filled with sorrow…

"Ahem! I'm back, lady!" Zheng-Fu coughed while shouting his way in…

When the woman heard Zheng-Fu, she shouted…

"Please help me! Get me out of here, please!"

"How can I help you!?" Zheng-Fu was curious…

"You just break the spell! You don't have to ask me!" The woman talked back to Zheng-Fu with anger…

Zheng-Fu was startled and felt offended by her reply…

"Tsk!"

"You should be more polite when you need someone to help you!" Zheng-Fu said while showing the woman that she was not really polite…

"What do you want me to say if I can't say that? You should never ask me in the first place." The woman said in an arrogant manner…

Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows when he heard that. He wanted to know who this woman was. It seemed like she said anything she wished to say…

"I told you. I don't know anything about magic. How can I destroy the spell?" Zheng-Fu tried to get it together. He tried to control his emotions and his tone of voice…

"You don't know about magic? Then you're useless! You're no use!" The woman in the cell started to talk nastily to Zheng-Fu…

"What!"

Zheng-Fu started to get angry. He had been trying his best to find a way to help her, but she did not want to be nice to him at all. She even looked down at him…

"Fine! If I'm no use, then I'll just leave!" Zheng-Fu said in an upset tone before turning back…

Thud!

"Stop!"

The woman shouted fiercely to have Zheng-Fu stop walking out…

"Who told you that you can go? You must not leave!" The woman in the cell ordered Zheng-Fu to stop moving…

"What!"

Zheng-Fu was stunned by the woman's words. He did not know where the woman got the confidence to talk that way…

"Yo, yo, yo! Are you misunderstanding or something, lady?

"Misunderstanding!? What did I miss understand?"

"Misunderstanding about you ordering me! I don't know you. Why do I have to help you? You don't know me, and I don't know you. Why do I have to help you? Besides, what are you going to give me, if I help you?" Zheng-Fu said in an upsetting voice…

"You must listen to me because I'm the thirteenth princess of the Monster Tribe!" The woman said with pride…

"The thirteenth princess of the Monster Tribe!?"

Zheng-Fu was startled to hear that. It made him remember the monster that he met in that dimension in the cave. He remembered that the monster started to feel fearful when he asked it about the woman behind this spelled gate…

"So, the woman behind this cell was a princess of the Monster Tribe! Wait! A princess of the Monster Tribe. Then this woman…!"

Zheng-Fu mumbled to himself and thought about the woman in the cell. Then he was shocked by what he remembered. The monster in that dimension told him that he had been around for a thousand years…

So, what Zheng-Fu thought next was realizing that the woman behind the cell must be a thousand years of age. He did not know who would be able to live that long…

"Hey! Are you still there!?"

The woman continued to shout at Zheng-Fu, but Zheng-Fu continued to keep quiet. He looked at the gate and started to contemplate the whole thing again…

"How long have you been in the cell?" Zheng-Fu asked in light of wanting to know the truth…

"I've been here for 10 years!" The woman answered immediately. Then she said, "Why do you keep asking me questions? Just help me already!"

"10 years!?"

"Not a thousand years!?" Zheng-Fu continued to ask the question…

"Are you mad? Who would live that long? Are you not smart or crazy?" The woman continued to be rough to Zheng-Fu…

"And how did you get here?" Zheng-Fu asked some more questions…

"You asked a lot of questions!"

"Well, just answer me! If you give me the answers, I'll help you!" Zheng-Fu said while walking closer and closer to the gate…

"Tsk! Fine! I'll answer your questions, but you have to help me out!" The woman remained harsh to Zheng-Fu. However, she needed to get out, so she had to answer Zheng-Fu's questions…

*Wait until I get out! I'll rip you apart for asking too many questions!* The woman mumbled to herself while making an upset facial expression…

"I got kidnapped 10 years ago while I was surveying the border of my place. Then I passed out. The next thing I know, I was here in this room!" The woman answered Zheng-Fu with a serious tone of voice. She was also angry…

"Is that so?"

Zheng-Fu could not let himself believe the woman. He did not think it was possible that someone could abduct her from her continent. It was impossible that her family would not do anything in the past 10 years to help her out…

"There you have it! Can you rescue me now!?" The woman rushed to order Zheng-Fu to help her according to the promise…

"I'll definitely help you out, but I don't know how to decode this spell on the gate. I'm sorry, but I'll try to find a magician to come help you!" Zheng-Fu said while giving a light smile…

"Y…y…you!"

The woman was furious to be played by Zheng-Fu's words. She could not stand being lied to all along by many people even though she was the thirteenth princess of the Monster Tribe. All the while that she was in the cell, she only had grudge and sorrow toward the people and the world…

The woman missed her family very much. She could only cry day after day. No one talked to her. She had to spend her youth in a dark cell…

Sob! Sob! Sob!

The woman cried out loud. Her cries made Zheng-Fu crinkle his eyebrows…

"Why are you crying? You just showed me your strength a minute ago!" Zheng-Fu asked while feeling strange…

Sob! Sob! Sob!

The woman did not answer Zheng-Fu. All she did was cry and cry…

"There, there! Please stop crying. I'll try to find some way to help you!" Zheng-Fu said while feeling sad for the woman. He did not like to see a woman cry…

"Do you mean it? Then help me! Quick!" When the woman heard Zheng-Fu, she stopped crying instantly with joy…

"What!?"

Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows again. He thought that he really did not know about women's emotions at all. How come she could switch back and forth this fast…?

"Women are so quick to change! Man!"

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Zheng-Fu walked closer to the gate again. Then he bent down to look at the magical letters that were imprinted on the gate…

"What are these magical letters? What language is this? How come I've never seen them before, not even in the books that I studied with Master Huang?" Zheng-Fu mumbled to himself while scratching his head with bedazzlement…

"Can you help me now?" The woman shouted to rush Zheng-Fu…

"Calm down! This is magic. It's nothing simple!" Zheng-Fu shouted back…

"Y…you!"

The woman had to stop talking instantly. She was angry that Zheng-Fu shouted at her. However, the woman felt some kind of joy from within because this was the first time that someone actually talked to her. The only thing that talked to her in the cell was the monster that possessed the dagger…
