Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1298: Ten-Tailed Fox’s Bloodlust Soul

”Arbeola.”

”Yes, Emperor.”

Zhang Fei furrowed his brows when the ground began to shake violently, and Mei informed him of the intense underground movement, which originated from Arbeola’s roots.

Soon, Arbeola’s body shrank rapidly before transforming into an old male demon, still retaining his tree-like appearance.

Zhang Fei spoke directly to him. ”So, from the start, you could have left this place, but you refused my invitation back then because of your master’s real body.”

”Haha.” Arbeola laughed at that. ”Kid, my emperor planted me in this place to protect his real body, so I couldn’t possibly leave without his orders.”

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei then spoke to Yi Mingran and Ye Futian. ”Please contact your members and ask them to gather here, and I will take you all back to the Paradise Realm.”

”Wake her up first.” Ye Mingran pointed to Qi Qingxiu, who was still lying unconscious on the ground.

Shortly after Zhang Fei released her unconsciousness, Qi Qingxiu immediately opened her eyes before jumping to her feet. She stared at him hatefully, and her face was completely red with shame and anger, causing her chest to heave up and down.

Zhang Fei casually smiled in response to her. ”Contact your subordinate first, and we will continue later.”

*Boom*

Qi Qingxiu’s aura exploded, and she used her abilities on him, but as Zhang Fei expected, the system neutralized them.

Zhang Fei retaliated against Qi Qingxiu with his new abilities, causing her to feel guilty toward him. Additionally, she had hopes of being together with him, which made her feel strange about her feelings. ”How could you do that to me?”

”Hehe.” Zhang Fei chuckled. ”I was born as your nemesis, so you should forget about your desire to beat me. Even though you are much stronger than me, you will never be able to do anything to me.”

”Tch! Tell me the truth!” Qi Qingxiu furiously shouted.

Zhang Fei shrugged slightly. ”I know you can control the seven emotions of other living creatures, but you don’t know about my new abilities that I got after I evolved into a lust demon monarch, and they are almost the same as yours.”

”Hmm?” Qi Qingxiu’s expression clearly showed that she didn’t believe Zhang Fei, as no other demon had ever possessed such abilities before.

Nalan Shizhen immediately spoke to her. ”He didn’t lie to you, Qingxiu. He can control the free will and subconscious of other living creatures.”

”Are you kidding me? I’ve never heard of lust demons having such abilities!” Qi Qingxiu shouted really loud.

Since Wu Mian, Ye Futian, and Ye Mingran already knew about Zhang Fei’s other identities, they were not surprised that he had such abilities. After all, he was the only living being with four identities in one body, and there has never been one like him in the past.

Nalan Yushu also spoke to her. ”My mother isn’t joking with you, Aunt Qingxiu. My husband does have such abilities, and I’ve tried their effects myself before we went to this realm. Furthermore, you don’t know him well, and he has many other abilities that other lust demons don’t have. Your abilities will never be useful against him, but his abilities will be effective against you, so he is your nemesis now.”

”Hmm?” Qi Qingxiu kept staring at Zhang Fei. ”Remove their effects from me right now!”

”No.” Zhang Fei refused without a second thought. ”You tried to attack me, so I won’t remove their effects from you.”

Qi Qingxiu fiercely glared at Zhang Fei as she clenched her fist. She considered attacking him physically, but she abandoned the idea because he would immediately send her subconscious into a dream if she did that.

”Alright, contact your subordinates now and ask them to gather here, and we will return to our realm directly.” Ye Mingran herself couldn’t wait to go home, especially since they had been gone for too long.

Qi Qingxiu didn’t say anything and contacted her subordinates directly, but she continued to feel angry with Zhang Fei because she couldn’t dispel the effects of his abilities, and the effects continued to affect her.

After their subordinates gathered in the realm, Zhang Fei immediately brought them all back to the Soul-Devouring Domain.

Upon arrival, Ye Mingran and Ye Futian led the Eternal Night Demon Race members back to their domain.

Before he took Arbeola away, Wu Mian told Zhang Fei not to look for him, and he would look for him himself when the time came.

Zhang Fei did not stop Qi Qingxiu as she led her subordinates to leave the Soul-Devouring Domain to return to their own domain, and he took the Nalan Sisters into the training space again after they said goodbye to Nalan Shizhe.

After making all his wives wait for over a year, Zhang Fei invited them to the main bedroom of the pavilion, where he dual cultivated and dual-soul cultivated with them.

Since she had accompanied Zhang Fei and dual cultivated with him in the cocoon for a year, Nalan Wangzi did not join them; instead, she went to the training ground and practiced alone there.

Zhang Fei’s four clones also dual-cultivated and dual-soul cultivated with their respective wives in four other rooms. However, his fifth clone had not returned to the pavilion, forcing Qing Qiu’er, Yan Jinwu, and Sima Huiqing to wait for him.

Within the Blood Sea, Zhang Fei [5] managed to persuade the Slaughter Blood Phantom to take him to the underground river, and the two were on their way there.

Upon arrival, Zhang Fei [5] saw a blood-red river, which was pure blood essence. He also saw countless wandering evil souls roaming the river, all of which were as powerful as the ones in the Wailing Soul Forest.

However, those evil souls did not dare to approach Zhang Fei [5], mainly because of the presence of the Slaughter Blood Phantom. This way, he didn’t need to bother using the soul link to borrow the power of the beasts in his beast space.

On the way, Zhang Fei [5] absorbed the blood essence in the underground river, and he also let the demon extermination sword absorb those wandering evil souls.

As they got closer to their destination, Zhang Fei [5] could sense an extremely terrifying bloodlust coming from its deepest parts, which caused the Slaughter Blood Phantom to tremble violently.

Zhang Fei [5] rubbed the head of the Slaughter Blood Phantom. ”This bloodlust belongs to the late ten-tailed fox, and he was once a primordial being, so his bloodlust is far stronger than that of other living beings, including the Asura Demon God. I know you’re scared of it, but trust me, everything will be fine because I am his successor.”

The Slaughter Blood Phantom nodded to Zhang Fei [5], and it slowly began to calm down due to his presence.

Some time later, they arrived at the end of the underground river, and the bloodlust in that place was suffocating for them. Zhang Fei [5] was naturally unperturbed by that, and he released his bloodlust to counter it before jumping to the ground on the surface.

The Slaughter Blood Phantom did not follow Zhang Fei [5] and waited at the underground blood river, preventing those wandering evil souls from approaching the area.

Zhang Fei [5] leisurely walked over to the red fox statue at the end of the area, but a powerful pressure immediately enveloped him and pressed down, causing the ground beneath him to crack.

Zhang Fei [5] transformed into his complete nine-tailed fox form and activated the soul link, borrowing the strength of all evil beasts in his beast space. ”Phew! Old fox, I know you are inside the statue, and I came to meet you, so please come out now.”

*Swoosh*

A giant ten-tailed fox immediately shot out from within the statue, but it was different from any other that Zhang Fei [5] had encountered in the past.

The ten-tailed fox’s lust soul is plain white, as is his benevolent soul. His evil soul is pitch black, and his proud soul is blackish red. Meanwhile, his bloodlust soul in front of Zhang Fei [5] was deep blood red.

The ten-tailed fox’s bloodlust soul stared at Zhang Fei [5] with his bloody-red eyes. ”You didn’t disappoint me, brat. Your cultivation is still low, but your bloodlust is deadlier than that Asura Demon God.”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [5] chuckled. ”I’ve faced many enemies to reach this place, and I’ve killed too many living creatures either directly or indirectly.”

The ten-tailed fox’s bloodlust soul nodded at him. ”Unfortunately, your bloodlust is still inferior to mine, so you must continue to hone it; otherwise, you will never be able to defeat the primordial genesis beast and the primordial nihility beast.”

”Sigh.” Zhang Fei [5] shook his head at him. ”Old fox, you were once a primordial being, and you’ve lived for millions or even billions of years, okay? Unlike you, I was born as a human, and I was born in a world without qi. Currently, I’m still 45 years old, so I still have plenty of time to develop in the future, and I will definitely surpass you one day.”

”Hahaha!” The ten-tailed fox’s bloodlust soul laughed heartily when he heard that. ”Your arrogance is sky-high, kid.”

Zhang Fei [5] shrugged his shoulders. ”Isn’t this due to the influence of your pride soul? At first, I wasn’t this arrogant, but I became extremely arrogant after I merged with that soul. So, do you also want to fight with me before merging with me?”
