"I guess we're a perfect match now," Qi-Fu-Er said politely, but her voice could cut through Ma-Lei's flesh…

"How could you say it's a perfect match?" Ma-Lei wiped off the sweat on his forehead while complaining…

Ma-Lei was upset because his troop could not compete with the Tian-Tang clan now. The moment Qi-Fu-Er appeared, the situation turned upside down…

"Do you want to go against the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven!?" Ma-Lei rushed to mention the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven when he realized that he could not defeat the Tian-Tang clan…

"The Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven!?"

Ma-Lei's statement put the people in the clan down once again because they knew that the cult was one of the biggest on the continent. To have a problem with them was like ants provoking an angry elephant…

When Ma-Lei saw that the people in the clan faltered at his words, he regained his confidence. But he had to be startled again when he turned to look at Qi-Fu-Er and the first man who came out to greet him. He could see that the two were not afraid of his cult, and they looked at him as if they wanted to tear him apart…

Thud!

"I am Mo-Zi, the leader of the Tian-Tang clan. We have never created any problems for the Cult of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven. So why did you bring people to destroy our main gate?" Mo-Zi, who was watching the whole thing, decided to talk to Ma-Lei with politeness…

Ma-Lei could see that Mo-Zi was polite to him, but he did not care. Instead, he smirked and said, "You don't have to know why we destroyed your gate. Just send us the Zheng-Fu boy and I'll forgive you," Ma-Lei said arrogantly…

"Tsk! Look at him! Did he hear what he said?" Wu-Xiao shouted out amid the silence…

Mo-Zi did not know how to take Ma-Lei's answer. He knew that it was not good to argue with the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven, but he could not give Zheng-Fu to the cult because he was not at the clan. "I don't think we can give Zheng-Fu to you because he's not at the clan now." Mo-Zi tried to refuse him indirectly…

"What!? Not at the clan!? Do you think you can fool me that easily? Looks like you want to have a problem with the Cult of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven!?" Ma-Lei intentionally used the name of the cult repeatedly to threaten the people in the clan. He felt like he needed to get Zheng-Fu back to the cult after losing his face earlier…

Ma-Lei's words showed that he would not leave the clan alone. The people in the clan were afraid of him, especially when he mentioned the name of the cult. The Cult of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven was not like any other cult…

"If the leader of the clan says that Zheng-Fu is not at the clan, then he is not at the clan. I think you should leave. I don't care what cult you're from. If you wish to harm the people in the clan, I'll make sure to kill every one of you." A woman's cold voice disrupted the silence after the conversation between Mo-Zi and Ma-Lei. She decided to speak after Mo-Zi failed to handle the situation…

"Darn!"

Ma-Lei and the rest turned grim when they heard Qi-Fu-Er's declaration. The people in the Tian-Tang clan were especially startled by what they heard. They did not know whether they should feel relieved or sad. And no one dared to stop her will…

"You! Fine! If you don't want to give the boy to us, then I'll report this to…"

Boom!

An explosion occurred in front of Ma-Lei and he did not have a chance to finish the sentence. He had to step back many paces because of the impact of the explosion…

"If you don't leave, the next thing that will explode will be your head!" Qi-Fu-Er continued to speak in a cold voice…

Tong-Kuang and his team also stepped forward to reinforce Qi-Fu-Er's statement. They all agreed with Qi-Fu-Er, especially Wu-Xiao. She was extremely satisfied with Qi-Fu-Er's initiation. Ma-Lei, at this point, started to shrink…

Ma-Lei knew that the explosion was tremendously strong and could kill him instantly if Qi-Fu-Er did not aim at the ground. So, he did not have to think much about what he should do next…

"Retreat!"

Ma-Lei had to submit to Qi-Fu-Er's will. If he stayed further, he would not be able to get out alive. He looked at Qi-Fu-Er with a grudge. Then he looked at everyone around her, including the Elders of the clan, and said…

"Don't think I'm finished with you! I'll be back! When you defy the Cult of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven, you won't die well," Ma-Lei said before leading his troop back immediately…

As soon as Ma-Lei left, the Elders of the clan started to talk in a panic about how Qi-Fu-Er talked to Ma-Lei. They did not want the Cult of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven to think that the clan defied them because the clan could not compare to the cult's power…

"So, what do we do now?"

"Yeah! That young woman shouldn't have defied the Cult of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven!"

"We're going to die soon!"

Tong-Kuang and his team turned to look at all the Elders, who were shaken in fear while sighing to show that they detested the fear in those Elders…

"We'll talk about that later. Let's get someone to fix the main gate first!" Mo-Zi tried to call everyone back to themselves and asked for someone to fix the main gate…

Qi-Fu-Er started to release the Conjuring of the Mid-Level Monster skill when she no longer felt Ma-Lei's existence. So, the giant monster that she conjured turned into light and disappeared as if it had never been there before. Qi-Fu-Er almost collapsed when Wu-Xiao rushed to catch her…

Grab!

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I just spent too much energy there," Qi-Fu-Er answered while wiping the sweat off of her forehead. She had used a lot of energy to maintain the giant monster that she conjured without showing that she was about to lose her strength…

"Why don't you take Lady Qi to her place and make sure she gets some rest, Wu-Xiao?"

"Yes, big brother."

Tong-Kuang asked Wu-Xiao to take Qi-Fu-Er to lie down to get her strength back. Then he turned to Dan-Chun-Gu and the team to order them to watch out at each spot to make sure Ma-Lei's troop did not come back…

He felt relieved that at least no one outside of the clan knew about the intrusion. He made sure that Lang-Guang-Kuang killed all the spies around the clan's estates…

Tong-Kuang also sent some people to follow Ma-Lei to see if he really retreated or camped out to plan to attack the clan again…

In the forest, a hundred lis away from the Tian-Tang clan…

Bang!

"Darn it! How dared those bugs look down at me? Just wait and see. I'll report this to my Master. I'll request that he send me stronger men. And I'll make sure that young woman gets what she deserves!" Ma-Lei said fiercely with an extreme grudge in his eyes…

Ma-Lei spent many months on a journey to the Tian-Tang clan. He had to cross the sea to get Zheng-Fu, but he did not get him as he expected. He only got shame in his pocket. Ma-Lei was actually a nobody in the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven. If his Master knew that he had failed, he would be the one in trouble, especially after he mentioned the name of the cult that way…

Back at the Ancient Monsters Forest, Zheng-Fu continued to go toward the center of the forest. Another week had passed, and Zheng-Fu had seen a lot of higher-level monsters along the way. He wanted to avoid them, so he disguised himself. It would not be long now for Zheng-Fu to reach his destination…

"We're close to the center of the forest. By looking at the map, I think it'll take a few days from now," Zheng-Fu said while smiling. He was glad that he followed the route on the map. It helped him get to the center of the forest within a short time. There were not so many monsters on the route either…

Zheng-Fu had been cultivating the energy every night for the past week. He wanted to make sure that he did it continually. As a result, he finally reached the peak point of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. It would not take long for him to get to the fifth level. When he got there, he would be able to defeat the monsters that were three levels higher than him…

Zheng-Fu did not let Jin-Tian cultivate its energy because Jin-Tian's breakthrough speed was extra quick. It was not safe for the monster at its age to possess the high energy level that it succeeded. Developing a high energy level too fast would mess with its body structure. If Jin-Tian continued to improve its energy level, it could break its body.

That was the reason why Zheng-Fu halted Jin-Tian's energy cultivation. He just assigned it to fight sometimes and let it balance its energy in the meantime…

Monsters were different from humans when it came to balancing their energy and energy range. They did not have to do what humans had to do. If humans did not balance their energy range and body strength, they might risk jeopardizing their prana. And that might cripple them…

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, the ground underneath Zheng-Fu was shaken violently. It caused him to get out of his cultivation process. He crinkled his eyebrows and tried to look for the source of the violent shake. He did not forget to use his sensory detector to help too…

"Monsters? But can it be that many!?" Zheng-Fu said while crinkling his eyebrows tightly because he could detect a large number of monsters coming his way with great speed…

"Jin-Tian! Get up on the tree! And use the maximum level of disguising skill too!"

Zheng-Fu did not wait to tell Jin-Tian to jump up on a big tree with him. He started to use the highest level of disguising skill to eliminate his existence because he was not sure about the energy levels of the monsters that were coming his way. All he knew was that there were more than a hundred of them.

Even though those monsters possessed only the beginner level of the Nascent Soul stage, he would not be able to fight them all at the same time…

Rustle!

After getting up on a tree for only a short while, Zheng-Fu started to see monsters showing up one by one. There were many species of them.

He saw ten Owl-Bear Monsters that were on the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, an Eyeless Wolf-Bengal Tiger Monster that was on the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, a Blady Grasshopper Monsters that was on the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, a Purple-Shield Weevil Monster that was on the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, a Dragon-Scale Bull Monster that was on the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, a Birdy Rabbit Monster that was on the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, a Shielded-Back Spider Monster that was on the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, a Tiger-Owl Monster that was on the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and many other kinds of monsters.

They were stampeding in Zheng-Fu's direction. Most of these monsters were mid-level monsters. If Zheng-Fu had not disguised himself, he would have been destroyed by them…

However, the stampeded monsters paid attention to nothing. They just kept running and running as if they were running away from something. Zheng-Fu saw the dread in their eyes…
