Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 316: Shadow-Demon Scriptures

Zhang Fei [1] asked Mei to open a portal to the training space as soon as they arrived at the Yin-Yang Pavilion area, then asked the two women to come out. Yi Na immediately returned to the Wei Clan after a week away.

”Wuʼer, I left Xiʼer in the desolate sect to learn the metal element from Gang Jinshu.” Shi Wu was surprised to hear Zhang Fei [1], especially since she had never been separated from her sister before. ”Anyway, Iʼve asked Lingxue to take you to the Blazing Moon Sect, and there are two elders there who have the wood element like you.

I canʼt teach you anything about that element, so I want you to train under their guidance. Moreover, she and Ziqin will accompany you in the sect, ensuring you wonʼt feel lonely, and I will also visit frequently to see you all.”

”Alright then, I will go with her to the sect, Master.”

”Thatʼs good.” Zhang Fei [1] then activated the portal to the Blazing Phoenix Sect, and Zhang Lingxue promptly took Shi Wu with her.

After that, he was about to bring Ye Lian, Zefyr, and Pang Liyuan into the training space, but he saw several disciples running hurriedly towards the Yin-Yang Pavilion, making him smile widely because they were his partners and friends who had just returned from their mission. ”Letʼs go in, Lianʼer.”

”Yeah.”

After entering the training space, Ye Lian was momentarily stunned by the sight of a large bed on the side, prompting her to ask Zhang Fei [1] in a teasing tone. ”What are you all doing here? Are you guys training or dual-cultivating?”

”Haha.” That made Zhang Fei [1] laugh softly. ”Naturally, we all practice diligently, and we often dual-cultivate to improve our cultivation. Otherwise, my cultivation would have not yet reached the soul realm, right?”

”Yes.” Ye Lian nodded to Zhang Fei [1]. ”Somehow, I envy you, you know? Your cultivation was still in the elementary realm when we first met, but youʼve now reached the soul realm, and youʼve achieved it in just a little over two months. As for me, Iʼm already 30 years old now, but my cultivation is still at the 7-Star Soul Realm.”

”You donʼt have to worry about that, okay?” Zhang Fei [1] said this while holding Ye Lianʼs hand. ”Your cultivation is slow now, but I will help you make it faster after we marry.”

”I know.” In fact, Ye Lian herself was also impatient to dual-cultivate with him, but she was different from the Chu Sisters, and she only wanted to marry him after her father returned, especially since Ye Yuanʼs presence at her wedding was important to her.

ʼMei, buy the beauty retaining pill and the teleportation device.ʼ

[Yes, Master.]

{You got Beauty Retaining Pill x1}

{250,000 green jewels have been deducted from your balance.}

{You got Teleportation Device x1}

{10,000,000 has been deducted from your balance}

After that, Zhang Fei [1] immediately took both of them and gave them to Ye Lian, which excited her after he explained the effects of the pill. ”I knew you would be overexcited about this pill, and you would definitely swallow it directly, which would cause a commotion in the desolate sect, so I havenʼt given it to you before.

As for the teleportation device, you can install one in your room at the Heavenly Sword Sect, so we can meet whenever we want.”

”Haha.” Ye Lian laughed and swallowed the pill immediately, and she sat cross-legged while waiting for it to take effect, making Zhang Fei [1] shake his head helplessly with her impatience.

Zhang Fei [1] then glanced at Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang, who were hugging each other on the floor nearby, but he ignored them and ordered Peng Liyuan instead. ”Give me the shadow technique you used to sneak into my room before. Besides, I also want to learn all the techniques from your clan that you have learned.”

”Yes, Master.” Pang Liyuan immediately touched his forehead, and he shared all his techniques with Zhang Fei [1].

{Ding}

{You obtained the Shadow Abyss Scripture.}

{You obtained the Netherworld Demon Scripture.}

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei [1] raised his eyebrows, surprised to learn that Pang Liyuan had only learned two techniques, but he proceeded to read the Shadow Abyss scripture anyway. To his surprise, there were ten sub-techniques in the scripture, and he read them one by one.

[Shadow Mastery: Achieves mastery over all aspects of shadows, enhancing perception, manipulation, and combat abilities.]

[Shadow Step: Allows the user to move swiftly and silently through shadows, teleporting from one shadow to another.]

[Shadow Binding: Manipulates shadows to restrain or immobilize opponents; often used defensively.]

[Shadow Devouring: Consumes shadows to gain energy or power, draining opponentsʼ life forces or abilities.]

[Shadow Veil: Cloaks the user in shadows, granting invisibility or enhancing stealth abilities.]

[Shadow Clone: Creates illusions or copies of oneself from shadows, which can confuse enemies or multiply the userʼs attacks.]

[Shadow Weave: Manipulates shadows to create intricate patterns or barriers for offense or defense.]

[Shadow Blade: Conjures weapons made of shadow energy, which can cut through almost anything and are controlled by the userʼs will.]

[Shadow Puppeteer: Controls other peopleʼs shadows, manipulating them like puppets to attack or defend.]

[Shadow Emperor: Channels the power of shadows to command lesser shadows or creatures, becoming a ruler over the darkness.]

”Hmm? All of these techniques are great, but some are similar to mine.” Zhang Fei [1] muttered, nodding in satisfaction, before reading the Netherworld Demon Scripture, which also included several sub-techniques.

[Demon Absorbing: It is a cruel and overbearing cultivation method to consume the souls or life force of opponents to gain power or regenerate wounds. It can also absorb even the comprehensions and cultivation attainments of others.]

[Demon Corruption: Taints the environment with darkness energy, weakening enemies and bolstering the userʼs own power.]

[Demon Body: Harnesses the power of darkness to enhance strength, speed, and vitality.]

[Demon Kingʼs Roar: Unleashes a terrifying roar infused with demon power, instilling fear and confusion among enemies.]

[Demon Claw: Conjures ethereal claws infused with demon energy, capable of shredding through defenses.]

[Hellflame Incantation: Conjures hellish flames that burn with darkness element, consuming all in their path.]

”What an evil technique!” After reading all those sub-techniques, Zhang Fei [1] exclaimed in shock and asked Pang Liyuan a question. ”Have you managed to perfectly master the netherworld demon scripture?”

”Not yet, master.” Pang Liyuan answered with a shake of his head. ”Our ancestors passed on the technique to several people, but not all of us were able to master those sub-techniques completely, including my father. For now, I can only use the demon corruption art, the demon body art, and the demon claw.

As for the demon absorbing art, only our ancestors can use it, especially since they have a strong demon bloodline in their bodies.”

”Oh?” Zhang Fei [1] raised his eyebrows in surprise. ”Did the demon invaders give them those bloodlines?”

Pang Liyuan nodded to Zhang Fei [1]. ”However, I donʼt know for sure what kind of bloodlines they gave them, especially since our ancestors have never shown them to us.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei [1] nodded in understanding before asking Pang Liyuan again. ”Then where did you get the Shadow Abyss scripture?”

”Master, I received the shadow abyss scripture from my wifeʼs grandfather, Xie Yingzi, as a gift for our relationship.” Zhang Fei [1] then asked Pang Liyuan to explain the situation in the northern region, especially regarding the clans. ”My Pang clan is the strongest, followed by my motherʼs Mo clan, and my wifeʼs Xie clan is the third strongest.

Even so, the three clans have a very close relationship, and the ancestors of both clans are also in seclusion with my ancestors. As for the minor clans, you donʼt need to care too much about them, especially since they are just puppets of our three clans.”

”Puppets, huh?” Zhang Fei [1] nodded in understanding. ”All right, Iʼll send you out of this place now, and you can return directly to the northern region, where youʼll meet my third clone.”

”Yes, Master.” After Zhang Fei [1] sent him out, Pang Liyuan immediately returned to the Pang Clan using the returning jade, but he left his clan again to meet Zhang Xiaolong.

Suddenly, Ye Lian opened her eyes and took out a mirror, but she saw no changes to her face, and Zhang Fei [1] immediately told her. ”You donʼt need to be confused by that, especially since that pill only serves to maintain your youth, and you will never grow old because of it.”

”I see.” Ye Lian nodded in understanding and stood up. ”I think itʼs okay because Iʼm still very young and beautiful, and Iʼm satisfied with my current beauty.”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [1] then pinched Ye Lianʼs nose. ”You are really narcissistic, you know? However, you are right—you are one of the most beautiful women in this realm, and I am lucky that you chose me as your husband.”

Ye Lian stuck out her tongue at Zhang Fei [1] before pulling him towards the device in the middle of the room. ”What is the use of this device? How can it help us become stronger?”

Zhang Fei [1] then explained to Ye Lian about each feature in the training space, starting with comprehension, gravity, and battle simulation.

Ye Lianʼs jaw dropped as she felt that those features were too extraordinary; even Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang, who were listening, were shocked after Zhang Fei [1] explained everything, which made them regret their actions towards him even more.

”Ha ha.” Zhang Fei [1] laughed as he lifted Ye Lianʼs chin. If you canʼt understand a few things, use the comprehension feature to learn them faster. However, it would be better if you focused on practicing using the gravity feature first, especially since almost all of us have perfectly adapted to level three gravity, which is eight times heavier than the outside world.

Once you adapt to it, no disciple of your sect will be able to match your speed, including Ba Jiawen.”

Zhang Fei [1] then shared the Yin-Yang refining art with Ye Lian, surprising her. ”A soul technique?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei [1] nodded at her. ”You can learn it first, but cultivating your soul will be difficult if you do it manually.” Thatʼs why I will use my real body to visit you in your sect later, and I will help you cultivate your soul by dual-cultivating with mine.”

Ye Lian was filled with joy, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to do dual soul cultivation with her future husband. ”You said it yourself, so you have to keep your words! Anyway, you can activate the gravity feature now, so I can catch up with Chu Ying and the others by adapting to level three.”

”You should prepare yourself first, especially since two times gravity is already quite heavy, and you will have a difficult time at first. However, you are one of the best talents in this realm, so I believe you can adapt to it in no time.” Upon hearing that, Ye Lian smiled and prepared herself.

However, as soon as Zhang Fei [1] activated the gravity feature, she immediately fell to the ground, finding it difficult to even move a finger, let alone stand under the intense pressure. ”You donʼt need to rush and get your body used to this gravitational pressure first; you can start moving your body once you feel used to it.”

”Ugh! This gravity is really heavy, Fei!” Ye Lian complained as she tried to move her finger to no avail. ”Donʼt worry, Iʼll adapt to this gravity soon, so you can take care of your other business now.”

Zhang Fei [1] then walked towards the bed, asking Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang to come to him. This made both of them tense and afraid as they imagined his plans for them, especially since they would not be able to refuse his orders with his slave mark in their souls.

As they expected, Zhang Fei [1] immediately ordered Ba Shuxiang to strip naked, and she reluctantly followed his orders as tears flowed from her eyes because she was unwilling to show her body to other men.

Chi Zhongguo wanted to plead with Zhang Fei [1], but he immediately activated his demon slave mark to control him, making him unable to speak at all, and he could only watch his wife standing naked in front of another man.

”Not bad.” Zhang Fei [1] stated this while examining Ba Shuxiangʼs bare body from top to bottom. ”Your face and body pale in comparison to all my wivesʼ, but you are not undesirable either. The Chi Clan must have given you a ton of cultivation resources, right? Otherwise, you wouldnʼt be able to cultivate this fast, and your cultivation is already quite high at the 3-Star Earth Realm.

At first, I never thought I would do this to you, but you two chose to be my enemies, so you guys can blame yourselves for your fate.”

However, they were surprised when Zhang Fei [1] asked Ba Shuxiang to get dressed again because he didnʼt want to touch her yet, especially since he still had other matters to attend to, which made both of them feel a sense of relief.

”Do you think Iʼll let you go that easily?” As Zhang Fei [1] stood up and asked, he immediately pulled Ba Shuxiang into his embrace and gave her a deep kiss.

Even though she didnʼt want it, Ba Shuxiang still closed her eyes and returned Zhang Fei [1]ʼs kiss with her tears flowing continuously, and Chi Zhongguo could do nothing to stop them.

A while later, Zhang Fei [1] separated their lips and said to Chi Zhongguo. ”Your wifeʼs lips are quite tasty, you know? Unfortunately, she is no longer yours, and she will be mine soon.”
