Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 315: Zhang Lingxueʼs Revelations

”All right, you guys can disperse now!”

When they heard Lian Xiang, the disciples immediately left the training ground. Many of them were thrilled by Zhang Fei [1]ʼs decision regarding Ba Shuxiang and Chi Zhongguo, but many of them were disappointed that he did not kill them.

Unlike them, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect did not leave the place, and Ye Lian ran over to Zhang Fei [1] before standing by Zhang Lingxueʼs side.

Lian Xiang then glanced at Ba Yongshan before saying to Chi Zhiqiang. ”Take Ba Yongshan back to the medical hall, and...”

”I donʼt think you need to do that.” Lian Xiang and the others turned to Zhang Fei [1]. ”Since the situation is like this, you guys wonʼt be able to continue sparring with the disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect, right? If thatʼs the case, Iʼll send them back to the western region directly, and they can bring this guy with them, so the Ba Clan can take care of him themselves.”

”Can you really send them back to the western region directly? Does that mean you have the space element?” Li Xintong, a female elder, questioned Zhang Fei [1] with a curious look.

Zhang Fei [1] immediately turned to Li Xintong, but he smiled in amusement at her appearance, especially since she looked so much like a nerd, and she was also wearing an object resembling glasses.

Li Xintong herself had short and curly red hair, and her face was like a woman in her early sixties. According to the systemʼs information, Zhang Fei [1] knew that her cultivation was quite high at 1-Star Heaven Realm, and she did not yet have a husband or children. Although she was not pretty, her facial features were quite unique, and her serious expression showed her high curiosity.

She has glassy red eyes, flat-nosed, pale-thick lips, and her chin is quite sharp. She had a figure that was neither too tall nor too chubby, and her skin tone was slightly pale. Behind her long red dress were her E-Cup chests, which appeared round and firm.

”Elder, you should be able to feel that I donʼt have the space element, right?” Li Xintong replied to Zhang Fei [1] with a nod. ”However, I have something that allows me to do that, but I wonʼt tell you, especially since you are a stranger to me.”

Li Xintong nodded in understanding as she sighed softly. You can still show me how youʼll send them to the western region, right?

”Yeah, Iʼll show you in a minute.” Zhang Fei [1] then turned to Qin Zheng and the others. ”Are you guys ready to go back? However, Lianʼer wonʼt be going back with you guys, and I will be sending her to my private training ground so she can catch up with her other sisters.”

Qin Zheng nodded directly at Zhang Fei [1]. ”Weʼve been away from the sect for a month and a half, so it would be great if we could return there right away. As for Lianʼerʼs absence, Iʼll explain it to our vice sect master later.”

”Hehe! Thank you, Sister Zheng!” Ye Lian softly laughed as she spoke.

After Qin Zheng agreed, Zhang Fei [1] immediately used his warp portal. However, he had already replaced the save point in the Heavenly Sword Sect with the Easterm region, so he decided to send them back to the Chu Clan.

”Huh!?” When the portal appeared, Li Xintong and the people from the desolate sect were shocked, and they all crowded around it like country bumpkins who had just seen something new.

Even Gang Jinshu, who usually had no interest in anything other than blacksmithing, looked enthusiastic after seeing the portal. ”Is this portal really connected to the western region, Kid?”

”I donʼt need to lie to you, right, Elder Gang?” Zhang Fei [1] returned the question with a smile. ”However, I canʼt take you there, or youʼll have to fly back here yourself.”

Li Xintong immediately looked at Zhang Fei [1] and said to him. ”I want to test this portal to uncover the truth, so Iʼll accompany them there. It doesnʼt matter if I have to come back here by myself. Furthermore, we need someone to explain Ba Yongshanʼs situation to the Ba Clan, so I will go to that clan at once to explain everything.”

Before answering Li Xintong, Zhang Fei [1] first contacted Chu Ying and the others to greet those people, especially since Liu Hua and Liu Qingyu were still in the southern region, in preparation to fight Shen Haoran. ”If you want that, you can enter now, and you will arrive directly at the Chu Clan.”

Without thinking twice, Li Xintong lifted Ba Yongshan from the ground and entered the portal directly, and her actions caused Lian Xiang and the others to sigh helplessly, especially since she had always had a high interest in new things.

Qin Zheng then led Jing Qiu and Qian He into the portal, and the two male disciples followed behind them. However, they stopped for a moment, and Chao Qing spoke to Zhang Fei [1]. ”We will wait for you at our sect and possibly spar there, brother.”

”Chao Qing is right, brother.” Luo Feng nodded and spoke to Zhang Fei [1] as well. ”Ye Lian told us that you also practice swordmanship, and I hope you can visit our sect soon, so we can spar and exchange experiences about the sword.”

”Sure.” Zhang Fei [1] himself liked the two menʼs characters, so he did not refuse their wishes. ”After I settle all the matters at hand, I will have a lot of free time, and I will take the time to go to your sect.”

”Thatʼs great! Weʼll be waiting for you, brother.” Both men answered at the same time before entering the portal.

After Zhang Fei [1] closed the portal, Lian Xiang immediately questioned him, pointing at Pang Liyuan. ”Can you tell us what your real plans are for this guy? Iʼm so eager to kill him, especially since heʼs Pang Deʼs son, but Iʼm sure you have other plans for him, so I want to hear them first.”

Zhang Fei [1] was not surprised to hear the hatred in Lian Xiangʼs tone, and the other elders also acted like wild beasts eager to pounce on Pang Liyuan. ”A month and a half ago, I accidentally discovered a blood tree demon in the southern region, which continuously produced demon miasma.

The demons who once invaded this realm intentionally left it behind, and the demon miasma has the power to drive people insane before their deaths.

”What?” Upon hearing that, they all erupted in shock, particularly considering that the demon invasion marked the darkest chapter in the Sky Jade Realmʼs history, leading to a significant decrease in their population. ”Then, what did you do to the demon tree?”

Before proceeding further, Zhang Fei [1] immediately activated his light qi, surprising those around him. ”As you can see, my light qi is much stronger than that of other cultivators. Since no one could approach the tree, I decided to give it a try. When I succeeded, I came across a purposefully planted remnant of a demonʼs soul within the tree.

From the demon, I learned that there were four other trees hidden in other regions.”

”Do you know the location of the demon tree in this region?” Ou Yeming, a male elder, abruptly inquired.

”You donʼt need to worry about that tree, especially since Iʼve already cleared out both the trees in the eastern and western regions and moved all three to a place that humans cannot reach.” Zhang Fei [1] then lifted Pang Liyuan to his feet.

”Unfortunately, I have no information about the blood tree demon in the central region, especially since Pang De hid it neatly and never told his other clan members about its location. Thatʼs why I want to use his son to investigate, as the demon miasmaʼs continued spread in that region could result in more victims.

As for the last tree, it is located in the Pang Clan, or more precisely, in their ancestorsʼ cultivation cave, and they use it to improve themselves.”

Although they were eager to kill Pang Liyuan, they could understand the urgency of the situation, so they decided to forget about him. However, their curiosity about how Zhang Fei [1] could have known all this led Lian Xiang to question him once more. ”How did you get all that information?

I understand your relationship with the five clans, but none of them have ever been able to obtain such detailed information about the Pang Clan, and we ourselves have tried for many years to no avail.”

Instead, Zhang Lingxue answered Lian Xiangʼs questions, especially since she didnʼt want them to know too much about her husbandʼs secrets. ”Sometime after my husband discovered the first tree demon, Pang Hong infiltrated the western region, intending to attack the Chu Clan.

Fortunately, the Liu Sisters and I were aware of his presence, so we immediately captured him, and we got lots of information from him.”

”What kind of information did you get from Pang Hong?” Chi Zhiqiang asked.

Zhang Lingxue faintly smiled before informing them about all the clans from various regions that had chosen to become vassals of the Pang Clan, a revelation that left them completely shocked, particularly considering that some of these clans originated from their own region, with three of them being major clans. ”You guys must have heard about the destruction of the Huan Clan, right?”

”Donʼt tell us that you guys were the ones who destroyed the Huan Clan.”

”Ha ha.” Zhang Lingxue chuckled at their reaction. ”You are correct; we secretly used the combined power of our clans to destroy the Huan Clan. However, we did not destroy the Qiao clan; instead, we took control of it, and Qiao Ran is our prisoner now. Aside from the two clans, weʼve also taken over the Guan Clan and those minor clans, so there are no more Pang Clan vassals in this region.”

After hearing Zhang Lingxueʼs confession, Lian Xiang and the others immediately held their breath. They themselves are aware that the Zhang Clan is powerful, and there are still four other powerful clans in their group.

However, they did not anticipate that they could accomplish such feats in such a short period, and not a single cultivator in the eastern region knew the situation of those major and minor clans, particularly since the Huan Clanʼs destruction was the sole major event.

Another male elder abruptly questioned Zhang Lingxue. ”Does that mean you guys have also destroyed clans from other regions?”

”My husband has eradicated the Li and Mei Clans from the western clans, specifically due to their intention to poison the Chu Clan.” Zhang Lingxueʼs response prompted them to turn to Zhang Fei [1], but he simply responded to their stares with a faint smile. ”From the southern region, only the Du Clan has been destroyed, but those minor clans will soon follow them.

As for the Cai Clan, my father is still discussing this matter with Aunt Wuhen, especially since that clan is her in-laws. Even so, Iʼm sure that she wouldnʼt mind if the clan disappeared, especially since she herself has a deep hatred for the Pang Clan. After hearing all this, you should have realized our combined strength, right?

Anyway, we did all that before the Shen Clan joined our group, and theyʼve joined us now, which has increased our total strength even more.”

After hearing all that, Chi Zhiqiang was the first to let out a heavy sigh. She didnʼt dare doubt their strength, with five powerful clans uniting as one group. This further exacerbated her sense of helplessness in rescuing her nephew, as she was certain that opposing them would lead to the destruction of her own Chi clan.

Without saying anything, she immediately flew away from the training ground, her heart truly heavy and sad, imagining the fate of Ba Shuxiang and Chi Zhongguo.

Zhang Fei [1] then said this to Lian Xiang and the other elders. ”At first, I came here to see Elder Gang because I needed a master for one of my women, but I didnʼt expect the situation to turn out like this, so I have to apologize to all of you about the disturbance we caused in the sect.”

”Forget it.” Lian Xiang replied with a heavy sigh. ”Everything has happened, and we canʼt turn back time. Regarding this matter, I will personally explain everything to Chi Yang, especially about the fate of his second son and daughter-in-law. Although he will be sad, I am sure that he will surely be able to accept their fate.”

”All right, Iʼll leave that matter to you.” Zhang Fei [1] then turned to Gang Jinshu. ”Elder Gang, I have to return to the southern region now, but I will come here often to visit Xiʼer, so I entrust her to you for the time being, and I hope you will protect her from all harm. If anyone dares to harm even a hair on her, I will immediately come here to kill that person, along with their family.”

Gang Jinshu nodded to Zhang Fei [1]. ”Donʼt worry, I will protect Xiʼer like my own daughter.”

After that, Zhang Fei [1] opened a portal to an area not far from the Yin-Yang Pavilion, bringing Zhang Lingxue and Ye Lian with him. He also brought Pang Liyuan along, particularly because he still had a lot of questions for him. Zefyr, who had been circling above the sky, immediately rushed to follow them before the portal closed.
