Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 164: Conflict

After they followed Mei Xiang and Li Lian, the Wen Twins arrived at a place not far from a spacious but simple residence, and it was none other than the residence of the Mei Clan.

”As expected, Mei Xiang plans to ask her clan for help, especially since the Li clan would never dare to fight us openly.” Wen Yuan concurred with Wen Xuanʼs statements. ”Do you think Li Bao will succeed in convincing the Wu Clan? If he really succeeds in doing that, then we will have to face three clans at once.”

Wen Yuan shook her head at her twin sister. ”I canʼt confirm that yet, and we have to wait for reports from our spies in the Wu Clan. However, Wu Ling is not a fool, and he definitely realizes the risks if he goes against the Liu and Chu Clans, which will only be detrimental to his clan.”

”Have you contacted our spies in the Mei Clan?”

”Iʼve already ordered her to eavesdrop on their conversation, so we just have to wait for now.” Wen Yuan then took out her communication device and informed Liu Hua about the situation, after which she spoke to her twin sister again. ”Actually, I donʼt think much about the Mei Clan; I think more about Li Jueʼs purpose in going out of town.

Moreover, some of our people who were stationed in other regions gave me information that people from the Pang Clan have been moving more actively recently, especially in the eastern region. They seem to be looking for something, but they donʼt know what they are looking for.

Unfortunately, they donʼt have any information about the movements of their higher-ups, such as Pang Hong, so I ordered them to spread out and stalk them.”

Wen Xuan raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. ”Do you think that Li Jue wants to have a relationship with that clan?”

”There is such a possibility.”

”Sigh.” Wen Xuan sighed softly. ”Li Jue is truly stupid if he decides to do that, especially since all of our realmʼs cultivators hate the Pang Clan so much and will not hesitate to attack anyone who has a relationship with them.”

”Isnʼt that a good thing for us?” Wen Yuan inquired, turning to face her. ”If Li Jue truly establishes ties with the Pang Clan, then we only need to spread this news to the other clans, so we wonʼt have to go to great lengths to destroy him and the Li Clan, and people will definitely flock together to attack them.”

”Well, thatʼs true.”

After they waited for some time, they saw Mei Xiang and Li Lian leaving the Mei Clan, and their spies immediately contacted Wen Yuan, informing her of the results of the two womenʼs conversation with the clan members.

”How is the result?”

Wen Yuan released a heavy sigh before telling her. ”Mei Jie decided to help Mei Xiang against us, but they wouldnʼt act immediately, and he asked her to wait for Li Jue to return. According to our spies in the Wu Clan, Wu Ling rejected Li Baoʼs request, so our burden was reduced by one, but we still have to remain vigilant against them in case he changes his mind.”

”This way we just have to wait for reports from our spies who are following Li Jue, and we will immediately report everything to Big Sis Hua, so we can devise countermeasures against all of them.” Wen Xuan suddenly got news from someone else. ”Hey, Huan Ning decided to summon those people, and they will probably arrive in this city in two days.”

”Oh?” Wen Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. ”Huan Ning seems to be getting more and more frustrated, and sheʼs probably already aware of Zhang Feiʼs actions against her. Otherwise, she wouldnʼt have summoned the higher-ups of the Gui Assassins to help her, and the Qiao Clan would definitely have heard of this news, especially since Qiao Ran is the true leader of their group.”

”Letʼs go back to the Li Clan and monitor the movements of the two women again.” Wen Yuan immediately followed Wen Xuan, who had already flown away first, but she felt that there was something wrong with the situation.

”Where have you been, Old Man? Are you looking for a woman to have fun with?” Xuan Yu asked Huan Chong, who had just returned to the Zhao Clan.

”Hahaha.” As he approached Xuan Yu, Huan Chong laughed heartily at his question, but he turned to ask him. ”What about Ziqin? Did you have fun with her?”

”Fuck!” Xuan Yu cursed angrily after hearing Zhao Ziqinʼs name. ”That little bitch doesnʼt pay attention to me at all, and sheʼs more busy with her white fox pet! Moreover, some people took her away from me, and she hasnʼt returned to this clan.”

”Who are those people?”

”One of them is Zhang Lingxue, the young miss of the Zhang Clan.” Huan Chong instantly fell on his buttocks after hearing Xuan Yunʼs reply, and his eyes shot wide open. ”If I remember correctly, the other woman should be Liu Hua, especially since Iʼve seen her once in the past, and they probably brought that little bitch to the Chu Clan.

Thatʼs why you have to think of a way to bring her back to me; otherwise, I will ask my grandfather to destroy your Huan Clan.”

ʼTch! This brat! He only dared to use his grandfatherʼs name to suppress others, and he would be nothing if it werenʼt for the fact that people are afraid of that old man!ʼ Even so, Huan Chong did not have the guts to say such a thing to Xuan Yu, especially since he did not want to bring trouble to his Huan Clan. But a servant suddenly informed him that Huan Ning wanted to see him.

”Iʼm going to meet my first cousin, and weʼll think of a way to bring Ziqin back to you, but Iʼm not sure if we can do that as long as sheʼs under Zhang Lingxue and Liu Huaʼs protection.”

Suddenly, Xuan Yu felt a killing intent directed at him before looking for its source, and he discovered that its owner was Zhao Yun, who was standing in the distance with a sharp gaze towards him.

Zhao Yun himself arrived not long after Huan Chong, and he overheard his uncle talking to Xuan Yu about his little sister while on his way to his room, which made him angry because he called her a little bitch.

Xuan Yu grinned faintly and released his aura and killing intent towards Zhao Yun, which forced him to fall and kneel on one knee, especially since his cultivation was higher than his. ʼDamn it! Who exactly is this man? What is he doing in our clan? What does he want from Ziqin?ʼ

”Haha! Is this all the young master of this small clan is capable of? Do you think a weak cultivator like you can do anything to me?

Even your grandfather Huang Jingtian and Zhao Feng have to respect me, but a weak brat like you dares direct your killing intent at me.” Xuan Yu then moved in front of Zhao Yun, grabbed him by the neck, raised his body high, and punched his abdomen with full force, causing him to spurt blood from his mouth.

”This is just a small lesson from me, especially since I still have to get your little sister and take her with me to the Central Region. Even so, if you dare to threaten me with your weak killing intent one more time, I will kill you outright, and your two grandfathers wonʼt be able to save you from me.”

*Bam*

”Cough... Cough...” Zhao Yun vomited blood once more after being thrashed to the ground quite forcefully, and Xuan Yu left him directly. ʼFuck! What really happened? Why did that bastard want to bring Ziqin with him to the Central Region? Tch!

I have to go to my mother right now to ask her about this matter, and I will stop him from taking her away.ʼ

Zhao Yun immediately wiped the blood from his mouth as he stood up, and he hurriedly went to his motherʼs study. When he arrived, he heard Huan Ning speaking seriously with Huang Cong, and they were talking about Zhang Fei and the Chu Clan, so he didnʼt disturb them and turned to leave directly. ʼDoes my mother really intend to fight them?

I would be grateful if she managed to kill that bastard, so I could get Chu Ying. However, that clan is not an easy opponent, and we will definitely lose if we fight them head-on. Even so, we can fight them if he asks for help from my grandparents, and they wonʼt be able to face the attacks of our three clans at once.ʼ

.

In the room, the two people who were talking together naturally noticed Zhao Yunʼs presence just now. ”Your son seemed to have been looking for trouble with Young Master Xuan, and you were lucky that he didnʼt kill him outright, or else you would have lost your only son.

Anyway, I didnʼt expect there to be a member of the Zhang Clan living in this city, so itʼs no surprise that Zhang Lingxue is here now, and she brought Ziqin with her.”

”How did you know that damn woman was in this city?” Huan Ning asked with a frown that made her muscles bulge out, especially since she hated Zhang Lingxue with all her heart.

”Young master Xuan told me about it, and Liu Hua was also with them, so Ziqin should be in the Chu Clan now.” Huan Chong then advised Huan Ning. ”I know that you hate Zhang Lingxue very much, but you have lived in the Central Region for a few years before, so you should already understand the strength of the Zhang Clan.

Thatʼs why you shouldnʼt act on your anger, particularly since you will never prevail against her, and if Zhang Long discovers that you tried to kill his beloved daughter, our clan will face destruction.”

Instead, Huan Ningʼs expression became even more furious because of his words, but she was also fully aware that she would never be able to defeat Zhang Lingxue, so she immediately calmed herself down before asking her cousin. ”What do you think we should do next?”

”What else?” Huan Chong responded with a shrug. ”Young master Xuan told me that there will be an internal sect competition in a few days, and Zhang Lingxue definitely wonʼt stay too long in this city, so you can wait for her to leave first while waiting for the people from the Gui Assassins to arrive.

After that, we will attack Zhang Fei and the Chu Clan, and the people from the Liu Clan wonʼt be able to save them, especially since Liu Ming and Liu Rong are in the northern region now.”

Hearing that, Huan Ning nodded in understanding. ”Youʼre right, Iʼll wait for Zhang Lingxue to leave first, and the people from the Gui assassins will arrive in this city in two days, so weʼll move straight away once everything is ready.”

”Thatʼs good.” Huan Chong then rose to his feet before speaking to her again. ”Moreover, Ziqin is in their hands now, so Iʼm sure Young Master Xuan will be willing to help us, and this is the best chance to get rid of the Chu Clan once and for all.”

After her cousin left the room, Huan Ning leaned back in her chair while thinking about many things, especially about Zhang Lingxue. ”I canʼt kill you now, but I will make you regret your past humiliation of me by killing that damn brat from your clan first.”
