"Father!!!"

Hah!?

"Yes, sir, Father. We'll keep our mouths shut."

The two young men did not dare to utter a single word when they saw their father's serious gaze staring at them with displeasure. They knew that if they spoke or argued anymore, their father would definitely be impatient and throw them both out of the hall.

"Please, Little Comrade, continue speaking." Seeing that his son had calmed down, the clan leader turned to Zheng-Fu and asked him to repeat what he wanted to say just now.

"The reason I refused is not that I'm weak or that I want more rewards. But it's because you're not sincere towards me by not telling me the truth about what happened."

Zheng-Fu did not want any reward. Because he already had many items in his dimensional space. Whether it be precious medicines, rare herbs, or spirit monster remains. Purple Heaven Crystals, weapons, armor, and many high-level martial arts skill treatises. Then why would he want another reward? He just actually wanted to know what was going on, and where that Deity stage aura came from.

Sigh!

"How shameful! It was our fault for not being sincere with you before asking for your help. But because we aren't sure if you're really strong. That's why we haven't told you the whole truth. On behalf of the Emerald Wolf Clan, I apologize to you. Hopefully, you won't blame us."

Emerald Wolf Clan Leader's eyes widened upon hearing Zheng-Fu's explanation. He felt very guilty when he heard that. He sighed and immediately apologized on behalf of everyone.

"Since you apologized and thought about showing me your sincerity, then tell me what happened?" Zheng-Fu nodded in satisfaction and did not think too much about it.

"The whole truth is that before Comrade City was founded, our four clans' ancestors found a large golden egg beneath an ancient ruin, but they couldn't get it out of that ancient ruin, so they built the city on top of it. In the records passed down from generation to generation, this large golden egg was probably a Deity stage magical treasure sent down from Deity Land. And it has remained beneath this city for hundreds of years.

"Time has passed until our generation. So, the four of us, current major clan leaders, became the guardians of that golden egg. But in the end, the golden egg began to crack. Then, a month ago, the initially tiny cracks suddenly grew bigger and bigger alarmingly. But what was even more alarming was the aura emanating from those cracks.

"For this reason, we'd like to ask for your help. Because if you're truly as strong as Elder Shi-Kong says, we still have hope that you'll be able to destroy that golden egg before it hatches. And that is the whole truth," the clan leader told Zheng-Fu.

Hearing this, Zheng-Fu was astonished to learn that Comrade City was actually based on an ancient ruin.

"And what if I don't help?" It was not that Zheng-Fu did not want to help. But he still did not trust these people.

"If you really reject us, we only have two choices. The first is that no matter what happens, we'll all work together to destroy that golden egg. The second is to move everyone to another place before the egg hatches!" The middle-aged man immediately answered Zheng-Fu.

His answer made Zheng-Fu unable to help being surprised. Because neither of the two options was to kill him to shut his mouth. Instead, the clan leader thought of saving people from loss, and another way was to choose to fight and take risks.

Umm!

"Alright! Then I'll help you. But first, I'd like to go look at that golden egg. Can you take me to see it?" Zheng-Fu finally agreed.

"There's no problem with that. But I must inform the other three clan leaders about this matter first. And there's one more thing I would like to ask of you. Can you tell me your true energy level? So that I can talk to the three clan leaders with weight," the clan leader stated the reason he wanted to know Zheng-Fu's actual energy level.

Booooooom!!!

"Half-deity stage!!!"

"Half-deity stage!!?"

Zheng-Fu replied by unleashing his aura briefly. However, everyone could sense and recognize how high Zheng-Fu's energy level was.

"Is this enough?" he then asked with a slight smile.

"All... all... all right! That's enough!" The Clan Leader was very excited as he saw Zheng-Fu's true strength.

"It's exactly as I thought. How lucky I was to meet him." But the person who was even more excited and delighted was Elder Shi-Kong. Because he was the one who met Zheng-Fu. And he had treated Zheng-Fu well without caring about his energy level or any of his qualities. At first, the elder even thought that Zheng-Fu was an ordinary young man. Just the elder saw that he was good-natured and respectful, so he wanted to help.

Besides the clan leader and Elder Shi-Kong, the others were also extremely excited and shocked. Especially the two young men, he thought that Zheng-Fu was not that much stronger than themselves, at most just one or two levels.

"How can it be like this? Why is he so strong?" Knowing the truth that Zheng-Fu was much stronger than himself, the elder brother was stunned and helpless.

"Big Brother! He... he... he's stronger than our father and the rest of the clan!" The younger brother was no different. He was glad that he and his elder brother had not done that terrible thing to Zheng-Fu. And he was grateful to Elder Shi-Kong who came to stop them.

"Yes!"

At this moment, everyone in the hall looked at Zheng-Fu with reverence and admiration in their eyes. As they said, the strong would always be more accepted than the weak. And when the clan leader received confirmation from Zheng-Fu, he did not hesitate and immediately contacted the other three clan leaders.

Half a shichen passed...

Sigh!

"How about it, Clan Leader? What do the other three clan leaders think?" Elder Shi-Kong asked as soon as he saw the clan leader walk back and sit in his chair again.

"It wasn't very good. They don't believe it. So, I ask them to come and see for themselves."

Umm!

Of course, after the Emerald Wolf Clan Leader contacted the other three clan leaders, they immediately disagreed as he finished speaking. But he firmly confirmed it and invited the three of them to come and prove it for themselves. So, the three leaders softened and agreed to investigate.

"But don't worry. I think they'll agree soon. Just let them know the energy of Little Comrade. They would have to agree in the end," the Emerald Wolf Clan Leader added in a tired tone as if he had just been working hard. He was still worried that the other three leaders would stubbornly refuse to accept this method and thought of handling this matter with their own strength.

"Clan Leader, may I ask you one more question?" Zheng-Fu stepped forward slightly.

"Sure, Little Comrade. If it's something I can answer, I'll answer everything for you." The clan leader raised his head and thought for a moment before nodding and agreeing.

"I want to know why you guys didn't deal with that golden egg from the beginning. Why did you keep it when you knew it was useless?" From what he had heard, Zheng-Fu did not see that this golden egg would be of any use even if it was a Deity stage treasure.

"Actually, it's not that it's useless. Because of the existence of that golden egg, it had spawned Purple Heaven Crystals in its surrounding areas. From low- to high-level Crystals. We kept it so that it could create high-level Purple Heavenly Crystals for us. But two years ago, the crystals that used to be so dense began to dwindle. Until a month ago, all the Purple Heavenly Crystals that had ever existed had disappeared.

"That made us realize that the golden egg was no longer of any use to us. And it is about to reclaim what it once gave us. So, we must get rid of it. However, there are still many voices opposing the destruction of it. Because there are still some people who believe that it'll be able to return to producing Purple Heavenly Crystal for us as before. But for me and the other three leaders, we all agreed that we want to destroy that egg."

Zheng-Fu finally knew why this golden egg had existed for such a long time and they were just thinking about destroying it now. It was because the golden egg had turned the ancient ruin into the Purple Heavenly Crystal Mine.

"I understood! But I still have questions. I want to know if you guys are really willing to destroy that golden egg. And if you destroy it, what will you do next?" Zheng-Fu asked further. And these were the questions he would use to make his decision.

"We..."

"We need to destroy it. And after destroying that egg, we will keep its remains. Including the creature in it!"

Just as the Emerald Wolf Clan Leader was about to answer Zheng-Fu's question, a two-meter-tall muscular middle-aged man walked into the hall and interrupted.

Hah!?

"Elephant Bear Clan Leader!"

"Scarlet Fire Bird Clan Leader!"

"Furious Dragon Clan Leader!"

Finally, the other three major clan leaders arrived. The newly arrived middle-aged man turned and looked at Zheng-Fu for a moment before turning back to the Emerald Wolf Clan Leader and asking, "Is this the young man you are talking about, Clan Leader Fei-Shi-Fei?"

"That's right, Clan Leader Chong-Ge-Bo. Little Comrade is the person I'm talking about. And you couldn't sense his energy level because he had erased his aura to look like an ordinary person. But his true energy level is Half-deity stage!" Clan Leader Fei-Shi-Fei immediately explained to the other three clan leaders.

"Then, may I see your strength, Little Comrade? To see if you really are at the Half-deity stage!" Another middle-aged man with red hair turned and said to Zheng-Fu, who was still standing calmly, without any signs of concern.

"Sure, Clan Leader!"

Booooooom!!!

Ah!!!
