Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 945: Replace Three Prisoners

Zhang Fei did not return to the pavilion immediately, but he found Serpentera and Tian Kui, who were watching from a distance.

”Hahaha!” Tian Kui laughed loudly as he patted Zhang Feiʼs shoulder. ”I like you more and more, kid! The way you deal with your enemies is so cruel and straightforward, but you should talk less with them. You must remember that every second always matters in battle; you must not give them a chance to attack you, and you must defeat them faster, especially since a single technique can decide the outcome of a battle. In the Paradise Realm, those powerful cultivators donʼt talk much, and their enemies are already dead even before they realize it. If you talk to your enemies too often, you will lose and die in their hands.”

”Old Kui is right, kid.” Serpentera spoke with a nod. ”Your speed is indeed incredibly quick in the three mortal realms, but you are no different from a snail in the Paradise Realm. The only reason you could avoid Old Kuiʼs attack back then was because he refrained from using his strength; otherwise, he would have decapitated you.”

Zhang Fei nodded in understanding, especially since he himself had long been aware that Serpentera and Tian Kuiʼs strength and speed had already surpassed all cultivators in the three mortal realms; not even Xereth could defeat them without the help of Taotieʼs avatar.

Serpentera then continued. ”Just like you, we also often acted arrogantly in the past, especially when we had the upper hand over our enemies. Such things are unavoidable because we are born with emotions, but we continue to learn to improve ourselves and control our emotions. As we grow older, we realize that emotions are not good for us, so we learn to suppress our emotions, especially our arrogance.”

”Youʼre still too young now, and young people are always like that.” Zhang Fei smiled upon hearing that from Tian Kui. ”Remember, you have many people with you, and they will suffer if you die. Therefore, you must continue to improve yourself and control your emotions; you must be more efficient in fighting and talk less in battle.”

”Thank you for your advice.” Zhang Fei then asked them. ”Do you two have a way to pass on someone elseʼs power to someone?”

Serpentera and Tian Kui exchanged a brief glance. ”Are you thinking about passing on the power of the two beasts that Feng Yichen captured before to your two wives?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei nodded at them. ”Back then, Hong Xinxin gained the power of the Azure Emperor Roc, and he told her that his late master sealed his past strength in his soul.”

Serpentera answered him directly. ”We can do that, but you must not pass on their power to those with weak physiques; otherwise, their bodies will not be able to contain their power, and they will die.”

”Hehe.” Zhang Fei chuckled. ”You two remember that I can turn my two wives into beasts, right? I plan to use the two beasts as sacrifices to turn my other two wives into beasts according to their races, and their bodies should be able to accommodate their powers if they become the same beasts as them. Unfortunately, I donʼt have a method to pass on the powers of the two beasts to my two wives, so I came to you two.”

Both beasts nodded in understanding. ”If you want to do that, we will help you transfer the powers of the two beasts to your two wives. Before that, you must perform a specific action on the cores and souls of the two beasts, ensuring that they remain intact; otherwise, we will be unable to use them. After you turn your two wives into the two beasts, you can bring them to us in the Starry Sky Realm.”

”All right, I will go back now and turn my two wives into two beasts, and I will bring them to meet you two after.” After saying this, Zhang Fei immediately took his four clones, Hong Xinxin, Huli Zhishen, Feng Yichen, and the two beasts into the pavilion.

Naturally, Zhang Fei didnʼt forget to bring the two beasts from the White Tiger and Black Tortoise clans, which were captured by the dark phoenix before.

Serpentera and Tian Kui also left the Xianjin Realm, and they waited for Zhang Fei in the Starry Sky Realm.

Inside the pavilion, Zhang Fei immediately took out the science capsule. He called Shi Xi to meet him because she had the metal element, and the white tiger beast suited her. As for the black tortoise beast, he was confused about choosing one among his several wives, especially since those with the water element were mostly beasts, such as Zhang Lin, Shen Huang, Shen Xueyi, Shen Yu, and Boitata.

However, Shen Yu had already become a mythical beast after he inherited the rain dragon bloodline, and Zhang Lin had already become a mythical beast after she transformed into the Abyssal Leviathan Dragon, so she didnʼt need that. Meanwhile, Boitata was a divine beast with a high chance of evolving into the mythical beast.

Shen Huang and Shen Xueyi immediately told Zhang Fei that they did not want to transform into a black tortoise beast, and they wanted to evolve into mythical sea serpent beasts.

In the end, Zhang Fei chose Angela, especially since she was a fish demon beast and the last water element owner among his women. He carefully stored the two beastsʼ souls and cores after using certain techniques to preserve them per Serpenteraʼs instructions. ”Yichen, you can extract everything we need from the two beasts, and I will immediately begin their transformation process.”

”Yes, Master.” Feng Yichen immediately started with the white tiger beast.

After Feng Yichen extracted everything, and Shi Xi was already lying in the capsule, Zhang Fei immediately began the process. ”Letʼs wait for the process to complete.”

”Why donʼt you choose one from the dragon clan?” Huli Haohao asked Zhang Fei.

Zhu Lingyao also spoke to him. ʼAfter this, you will have the vermilion bird, the white tiger, and the black tortoise by your side. However, there is one of the four mythical virtue beasts remaining, which is the Azure Dragon.ʼ

”According to legend, if the four mythical virtue beasts combine their powers, they can summon something extraordinary from the heavens.” Zhang Fei turned to Feng Qingmeng, especially since he had never heard such a thing before. ”Iʼm not sure about the truth of the legend, especially since the four races have never united before. However, I think itʼs okay if you try, and you can turn Shi Wu, Janette, or Lillea into the Azure Dragon.”

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei rubbed his chin as he thought about that, and his gaze kept switching between Shi Wu, Janette, and Lillea.

”Husband, I donʼt want to turn into a beast.” Janette spoke to him.

Lillea nodded in agreement with her daughter. ”We dryads are creatures of nature, and our existence is quite special, so you can turn Shi Wu into the Azure Dragon.”

”Moreover, Shi Wu and Shi Xi are siblings, and her sister will become the white tiger beast soon.” After Janette said that, Zhang Fei looked at Shi Wu, who seemed to be looking forward to it. ”She is the most suitable choice to become the Azure Dragon, and her wood element will experience a significant increase to help us take care of the herbs in the Sealed World Pearl.”

After he thought about it, Zhang Fei went to the Xianjin Realm again, and he returned a few minutes later carrying an azure dragon beast, which was in a state of heavy injury after being hit by Hong Xinxin earlier.

Shi Wu was overjoyed after seeing the azure dragon beast. After all, her strength would increase significantly if she transformed into a mythical beast, so she would not lag behind her sister, and she could help Zhang Fei collect the beast essence.

Zhang Fei smiled at Shi Wuʼs expression, but he immediately left them and went into the beast space to check on his prisoners.

When he arrived there, Zhang Fei saw people from the Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Golden Fox clans gathered around their ancestors. They felt sorry for their male ancestors, especially since their condition was quite miserable after he and his clones beat them up.

In contrast to them, the conditions of Long Tianzhu, Wang Qingyi, and Dai Yanxu were much better because Feng Yichen had only been toying with them before, and she had not seriously injured them.

Those people did not say anything to Zhang Fei once he arrived at the location, and they immediately dispersed to return to their cultivation.

Huli Jinhu, Long Jiuxian, Wang Yitao, and Dai Yishu were unconscious. Meanwhile, Long Tianzhu, Wang Qingyi, and Dai Yanxu were huddled together, but their bodies were shaking quite intensely as they looked at Zhang Fei, thinking about his next plans for them.

”What will you do to them, Husband?” Boitata asked him.

Yan Jinwu also asked him. ”Do you want to take these three women as your partners?”

”No.” Zhang Feiʼs answer surprised Yan Jinwu and Boitata. ”They are strong and beautiful, but they donʼt interest me. Instead, I will use the three of them to replace my three prisoners, especially since some of them are too weak. If I lock them up there, I will be able to gain Qi faster, and the Seven Divine Realms will not be far from my reach.”

”Which three of them will you replace with these women?”

”Zhou Meiling, Qu Qiuxue, and Ma Mingxin.”

”Eh?” Boitata was surprised to hear the last name. ”Isnʼt Ma Mingxin stronger than Ruo Yanxi? Why do you want to let her go?”

”Ma Mingxin is indeed stronger than Ruo Yanxi, but I need her to control the Blossom Heaven Realm.”

”Oh.” Boitata immediately understood and teased him. ”Are you thinking of dual cultivating with all the women in the realm? Most of the inhabitants of that realm are women, and all the men there are their slaves, right?”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei laughed at that. ”I donʼt have that kind of thought for them, and I only want the cultivation resources of that realm. Since those men are their slaves, I donʼt need to work hard to get those resources, and Ma Mingxin will control everything for me.”

After that, Zhang Fei brought Long Tianzhu, Wang Qingyi, and Dai Yanxu into the Yin-Yang Space, and he locked them there to replace Zhou Meiling, Qu Qiuxue, and Ma Mingxin.

After he modified their memories, Zhang Fei sent Zhou Meiling back to the Zhou Kingdom in the Nine Stars Realm to help Zhou Tong take care of the kingdom. He sent Qu Qiuxue to the Alchemy Union, and he appointed her as the head guard.

Zhang Fei enslaved Ma Mingxin before giving her a teleportation device and sending her to the Nine Stars Realm. He ordered her to return to the Blossom Heaven Realm, and he also gave her the task of collecting as many resources as possible.
