Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1378: Terms and Conditions

Xie Yan and Xie Yao were utterly shocked as soon as Zhang Fei [5] arrived in front of them, mainly because of the effects of his soul link and demon rank.

Xie Yao and Xie Yan exchanged glances while thinking the same thing in their minds. ’How could his strength have already become equal to ours? Additionally, he evolved into a lust demon monarch about two months ago, but his demon rank has already broken through to the demon overlord rank, which is absolutely impossible.’

Xie Yan smiled faintly before moving in front of Zhang Fei [5], but he swiftly teleported away from her, shocking her and Xie Yao again.

”Sorry, but I don’t like being close to cheap women like you.” Xie Yan did not feel offended by Zhang Fei [5]’s words; Instead, her lips curled up into a flirty, seductive smile. He felt a slight change in himself as if he was hypnotized by her, but the system immediately dispelled the effect of her abilities. ”Don’t bother using your abilities on me.”

”Huh?” Xie Yan stared at Zhang Fei [5], blinking repeatedly.

Zhang Fei [5] shook his head slightly. ”Even if you’re a lust demon god, your abilities will never work against me, so stop your useless actions.”

*Clap... Clap...*

”Hahaha.” Xie Yao clapped as he laughed heartily. ”The successor to the ten-tailed fox is truly amazing! I don’t know how you increased your strength or how your demon rank broke through so quickly, but I truly admire you. So, what is your purpose in coming to my valley?”

”Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that question? What is your purpose in looking for me?” Zhang Fei [5] teleported onto an empty rock beside Xie Yao and sat there. ”I’ve heard your conversation with Shang Laohu about my identity as the successor of the ten-tailed fox, and we both have the ability to play with other people’s memories, so I know you got information about it from beast or natural races.”

”Hahaha.” Xie Yao laughed again. ”You are right; I did get information regarding prophecies about you from those two races, but you were mistaken about my abilities because I—”

”Absolute Memory Authority.” Xie Yao smiled and nodded to Zhang Fei [5]. ”Your ability allows you to read other people’s memories without having to touch them, and they will never realize that you are tampering with their memories, which means you have absolute control over their memories. However, some cultivators have strong mental defenses, preventing you from reading their memories.”

”That’s right.” Xie Yao immediately admitted. ”There are no perfect techniques in this universe, and all techniques have their weaknesses. When your demon rank reaches the demon god rank, you will also automatically gain that ability. Lust demons are demon fighters, but our way of fighting is different from other demons, such as the Asura Demon race. We mostly rely on our lust, memory, and dream abilities to fight our enemies.”

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei [5] immediately diverted their conversation. ”So, what is your purpose in looking for me?”

”Cooperation.” Zhang Fei [5] raised an eyebrow at Xie Yao. ”Yan’er and I just want to live in peace, but our fighting skills are not as good as other demon races, so we will never be able to change the situation in this realm. However, you are different from us, and you have many abilities that we don’t have, especially your abilities besides your lust demon abilities. Additionally, you are the successor of the ten-tailed fox, and you are destined to be the strongest living creature in this universe, so I want to cooperate with you.”

”What can you offer me?” Zhang Fei [5] activated his soul domain, sword domain, and several others. ”I don’t dare say that I will become the strongest in this universe, especially since such a thing is still far from my reach. For now, I am building my strength, but I will never accept useless people, so I want to know what you can do for me.”

Xie Yan hurriedly returned to Xie Yao’s side and sat beside him. ”What do you want from us?”

”Give me some offers, and I’ll consider them.” Zhang Fei [5] casually replied.

Xie Yan turned to Xie Yao, who shook his head at her. ”Since you’re a lust demon like us, and you possess many powerful abilities, I can’t offer you anything. Instead, you can tell us your conditions for us to join you.”

Zhang Fei [5] rubbed his chin in thought. ”Honestly, I have many subordinates who are more useful than you two, even though they are still not as strong as you guys. However, adding more allies would be much better than adding more enemies, right?”

”Haha.” Xie Yao laughed in response. ”So, what do you need from us?”

”I need people to infiltrate Qian Yan’s domain.” Xie Yao and Xie Yan froze when they heard that. ”I didn’t think about looking for trouble with the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon God, but I need to find some people in his domain.”

”Who are they?” Xie Yan asked.

”They are the family of one of my subordinates.” Xie Yao and Xie Yan felt that Zhang Fei [5] was too strange for wanting to infiltrate Qian Yan’s domain just for the sake of his subordinates. ”For me, my subordinates are my family, and I will never let any of them suffer. If you two can help me find those people, I will accept you and your race into our group.”

Xie Yao let out a heavy sigh. ”Why don’t you infiltrate Qian Yan’s domain yourself? You’re much more skilled than us at doing that kind of thing, right?”

”Moreover, Qian Yan will know if we intrude into his domain, and he will attack us.” Xie Yan added.

Zhang Fei [5] shook his head at them. ”I can infiltrate Qian Yan’s domain myself, but I want to see how far you are willing to take risks for our group, as everyone in our group is family. Moreover, I’m not asking you to cause a commotion in his domain, but I want you to find those people alive and their location. Once you find them, you can leave his domain, and I will devise a plan to rescue them myself.”

”What will you give us if we can find them?” Xie Yao asked.

Xie Yan immediately added. ”Even if we’re family, you won’t let us work in vain, right?”

”That’s right.” Zhang Fei [5] took out a few pills and showed them to the two demon gods. ”I am a god-rank alchemist, and I have several other alchemists at my level in my sect. If you succeed in finding them, I will allow your race members to join our group, and I will give these pills to all of you.”

Xie Yan and Xie Yao were shocked and tempted to see the many superior-grade pills before their eyes, but they felt that Zhang Fei [5]’s request for them to infiltrate Qian Yan’s domain was too risky, and they were afraid that they would die at his hands if he was offended by their actions.

”You guys don’t need to decide now, and you can think about my offer first. However, I can tell you that you will get many benefits if you join our group, and your hope to live a safe and peaceful life will come true. If you have made up your mind, you only need to send me a voice transmission, and you can come to my sect after you succeed.” After saying that, Zhang Fei [5] opened a gate and disappeared into it, leaving Xie Yan and Xie Yao stunned.

”What kind of ability is that? How can he create a gate instantly?”

Xie Yao shook his head slightly. ”The gate is not an ordinary one, and I am sure that it does not come from his human ability. If my guess is correct, his gate should be one of his abilities as a beast, and it connects him to his domain directly.”

”What do you think about his request? Should we accept it?” Xie Yao looked at Xie Yan with a sigh, especially since he felt a dilemma regarding Zhang Fei [5]’s request. ”If we can get the support of a god-rank alchemist like him, I’m sure we will become even stronger, and our cultivation might even break through to the Celestial God Realm. Moreover, he will not only give his pills to us, but he will also give them to our race members.”

Xie Yao was naturally aware of the benefits they would gain by joining Zhang Fei [5], but infiltrating Qian Yan’s domain was no easy feat for them, and it was too risky for them. He wanted to become much stronger, but the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon was simply too powerful, and he didn’t want to die a foolish death by infiltrating his domain. ”I think we should consider things seriously first, Yan’er. If we decide rashly, we might die, and we won’t get anything from him. If we die, the other demon races will attack our race, and they will kill them.”

”Alright.” Xie Yan nodded in agreement. ”Hey, how do you think Zhang Fei can withstand my Absolute Lust Embodiment?”

Xie Yao shrugged. ”Zhang Fei is the most unique living being with his three identities, and he may have many strengths that no one knows about, including the people by his side.”

”Sigh.” Xie Yan sighed heavily. ”Should we go see Shang Luohu again?”
