After Mie-Xiang-Qi and Fei-Yue appeared and Zheng-Fu teased Mie-Xiang-Qi to his satisfaction, they set off together as he had Mie-Xiang-Qi and Fei-Yue walk in front.

Three days passed, at a tavern in a forest village...

Flop!

"The food you ordered is here, sir. Masters and Misses, please enjoy Your Meal!"

After the four of them had traveled for three days and had stayed in the forest, eventually, they came across a village along the way that had a tavern with food and lodging. This made Mie-Xiang-Qi very eager to stay. Because she really wanted to take a bath and change into new clothes. Even though she used energy to cover her body so as not to stain the outfit.

But first, they would find something to eat. Because all along the way, they had only eaten grilled meat. Eating food prepared with full flavor like this was even more wonderful. Therefore, the four of them ordered a lot of food. This made the people who stopped by to eat turn their attention to them.

"Look at that group. Order a lot of food, are they all going to eat?" one of the two middle-aged men sitting at a table said.

"Why would you care about them? Rich people are like this. They like to throw it away if they can't eat it all!"

"You're right! By the way, have you ever heard of the Nightmare Demon Monster going on a rampage? I heard it's headed this way, too! The incident happened two days ago when the young cultivators of the nearby Martial Arts Academy disappeared, presumably because of this Nightmare Demon Monster! Even the Head of the Academy didn't dare to go outside the academy."

Hah!

"Really? Isn't this Head of Academy as strong as the Heavenly Star stage? Why didn't he go out and help their disciples? Or is that demon monster stronger than him?"

"I don't know about that. I just heard from the other people. However, I think we should eat quickly and continue our journey. Before we get to the next town, we've to walk for many days!"

Umm!

The two men's conversation made Zheng-Fu and Mie-Xiang-Qi very interested. Because this type of demon monster is hard to find. Most of them were wiped out hundreds of years ago. Because Nightmare Demon Monster was exactly as its name suggested. It had outstanding skills in controlling people's minds and forcing them to do what it wanted.

"I heard that his spirit core has special properties. If you use it to make an amulet, it'll have high-level mind-controlling properties. So, I think…"

"Are you going to deal with it? And do you know where it is?" Mie-Xiang-Qi interrupted before Zheng-Fu could finish speaking. She also wanted to see Nightmare Demon Monster. Because it was said that it had been lost for hundreds of years. She was a person who liked to study, so she wanted to see and know about it.

"I don't know where it is. But I think it would definitely come to us if we stayed on the path it was on right now." Zheng-Fu shook his head and smiled innocently. Before he said what he predicted based on the possibility.

Huh!

"Do you think Nightmare Demon Monster would be stupid to approach a Deity stage identity like you? If I were him, I would run for my life!" Mie-Xiang-Qi shook her head because she thought Zheng-Fu was too simple and had no clear plan at all.

"That's not a problem at all. You know that I can reveal my energy level as I please. And what if I only reveal a very low energy level? Do you think it'll approach me?" Zheng-Fu explained without any concern. Because he had the ability to hide his energy or cause his energy to be revealed at any level he wanted. Therefore, the aura surrounding him was not a big problem at all.

Sigh!

"I forgot that you're a devil who is superior to all demons!" Mie-Xiang-Qi just remembered that Zheng-Fu had many secret skills. And there were probably many weird skills that she did not know yet.

"Are you praising me or being sarcastic? But never mind! We'd better eat first. If the food gets cold, it won't taste good. Besides, Jin-Tian and Fei-Yue also seem hungry!" Zheng-Fu frowned at Mie-Xiang-Qi's words. Before he shrugged and changed the subject. Because he saw Jin-Tian and Fei-Yue staring intently at the food with a little saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.

Umm!

"Then let's eat!"

Mie-Xiang-Qi knew that she could not say much. Because Zheng-Fu was stronger than her and also very intelligent. Until she felt as if Zheng-Fu was of the same generation as her. But when that thought came to her, she quickly put it aside and started eating.

Half a shichen passed...

"Fei-Yue and I'd like to go to our room now. We want to take a bath and change clothes."

"Umm! We're going to take a bath as well!"

After the four of them finished eating and paying, they separated and went to rest. Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian stayed together. Mie-Xiang-Qi stayed with Fei-Yue. The room of the two women had a bathroom. But Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian's room did not have one. They had to come out to take a bath in the shared bathroom on the ground floor of the tavern.

"Master, I can feel a strong negative energy aura only a hundred li away from this village, sir. I think it might be Nightmare Demon Monster's energy aura!" Jin-Tian said while he and Zheng-Fu were taking a bath.

"Hmm! I can feel it too. It's just that I didn't mention it. Because I don't want Elder Sister Mie to find out and follow me. So, I waited for this opportunity!" Actually, Zheng-Fu had felt this negative energy earlier. Only he did not say it. Because he wanted to deal with it quietly alone. Moreover, he was worried and wanted Mie-Xiang-Qi to rest.

"Then I'll stay here and watch over. Master, don't worry!" Jin-Tian could immediately understand what Zheng-Fu wanted. And he was ready to fulfill every wish of his master.

"Thank you very much. If so, after taking a bath, I'd like to ask you to find an excuse for me. I'll hurry to deal with it and come back without wasting too much time!" Zheng-Fu felt good seeing that Jin-Tian easily understood everything, knowing what he wanted.

"Yes, sir, Master!"

After finishing bathing, Zheng-Fu immediately separated himself in the direction where he could feel the negative energy aura. It only took him a moment to arrive. And the first thing he found was a large, clear pond full of fish.

"If there is no negative energy aura radiating out, I probably think that this place is a wonderful place to sit and relax. But actually, the image I saw here was probably created by Nightmare Demon Monster!" Zheng-Fu immediately guessed that this clear pond was an illusion created by the Nightmare Demon Monster.

Crack! Crack!

"Wow! This area and the pond look very shady. Why didn't I see that there was a beautiful pond like this around here when we first arrived? Or was I just too busy working and didn't pay attention?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice sounded. Zheng-Fu remembered that he was one of the two people talking about the Nightmare Demon Monster at the tavern.

"But I think we should hurry. Because I feel bad about this pond. I feel eerie and cold. Let's go! We still have to hurry and run some errands!" Another man who came with him said. He seemed to sense some uneasiness from this pond.

"You're thinking too much! How could such a wonderful, paradise-like pond give such a feeling? Besides, our errands aren't that urgent. Can't you let me walk around this pond a little longer?!" But the first man was dissatisfied that his comrades spoke ill of this place. And his eyes while speaking looked dark as if under a spell.

"Hey! If you want to stay here, just stay by yourself. But I won't stay. I'll leave immediately and report that you're not paying attention to work!" The second man did not notice anything unusual with his comrade at all. He also thought that his comrade said everything with his own feelings.

"Can't go! You can't go anywhere! You must stay here with me!" As soon as the second man finished speaking, the first man's expression and mood suddenly turned violent and fierce. It looked as if he was angry about something.

'I never thought it would have such an impact so quickly. It's because of the strong negative energy aura combined with this man's mind being in a state of confusion. He was easily controlled. Sigh! Even though it's none of my business, I probably can't let this go. I have to help them, right?'

Zheng-Fu constantly observed the happenings. He knew that the first man was mind-controlled to the point of losing his own identity. He, therefore, had to go in and help prevent the two middle-aged men from being killed while he could help them.

Whoosh!!!

Splash!

At that moment, Zheng-Fu quickly threw a small stone packed with his Deity Energy into the pond. In a short time after the stone was thrown...

Groooan!!!

Booooooom!!!

Groan!!!

The calm pond suddenly started to produce soft ripples, before it grew more violent and exploded, causing the water to scatter into the sky. At the same time as the water exploded, a shrill and eerie roar sounded from the Nightmare Demon Monster hiding beneath the pond.

Ah!

Hah!?

"Why am I standing here?" The first man who lost control of himself regained consciousness. And he did not know when he was standing next to the edge of this pond.

"Nigh... Night... Nightmare Demon Monster!" The other man could clearly see the Nightmare Demon Monster. He then exclaimed loudly in shock.

Hah!?

"Nightmare Demon Monster!? What joke are you playing? Comrade, how will there be... Night... Nightmare Demon Monster?!"

At that moment, the first man who thought he was being pranked suddenly turned around and looked behind him to confirm that he was just being pranked by his comrade. But when he turned around, he saw a large, indistinct figure making a shrill cry. So, he immediately ran. But with stiff legs, he was almost unable to walk, causing him to move several times slower than normal.

"You guys should hurry to flee. If you still stay, you might become his food!" Zheng-Fu gradually floated down from the sky, warning the two men to quickly flee. And he had already created a gap for the two of them to leave this illusion.

"Tha... thank you, Young Grandmaster!"

The two did not know who Zheng-Fu was. But when they saw that Zheng-Fu could float in the air, they knew that Zheng-Fu had to be a great skilled martial master. Therefore, they did not hesitate to hurry to leave with relief.

Umm!

"As for you! You don't seem like any ordinary demon monster. Because I can't sense any life energy waves from you other than negative energy waves!?" Then Zheng-Fu turned and spoke to the Nightmare Demon Monster, who was in a state of frenzy because of the interruption in hunting prey. But what Zheng-Fu found strange was that this demon monster had no life energy within its figure. It was as if it were an object that had some energy residing.

Groan!!!
