Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1693: Shang Zhanluo-Shang Luohu

With Shang Zhanluo’s return, the situation in the Asura Demon Race calmed down again, and those who had previously planned to rebel changed their minds because they would never win against their demon god.

Shang Zhanluo stood in front of Shang Zhui and the four asura guardians, accompanied by Shang Luohu, who faithfully accompanied him. ”What happened to you, Shang Dongzhu? How did you get injured that badly?”

Shang Dongzhu scratched his head, not knowing how to answer Shang Zhanluo. ”Demon God, I was injured when I went to other domains to investigate, and I met a powerful cultivator there.”

”Who?”

”I don’t know the identity of that woman.” Shang Dongzhu replied with a shake of his head. ”I only know that that woman is strong, and her strength exceeds mine even though I have used the bloodline awakening technique.”

Shang Zhanluo squinted his eyes. ”The only woman in the Paradise Realm who can defeat you when you use the bloodline awakening technique is Empress Huo. However, she will never move unless you attack her domain or her subordinates.”

”That woman is definitely not Empress Huo, Demon God. I have fought with her in the past, so I have some recollection of her abilities and techniques.”

”I see.” Shang Zhanluo nodded slightly. ”The four of you can leave now, and you must recover your condition quickly, Dongzhu.”

”Yes, Demon God.” The four asura guardians immediately left the Asura Palace.

”Husband.” Shang Zhanluo looked at his wife, Shang Luohu. ”Your previous condition was Sha Mo’s doing.”

”Sha Mo?”

Shang Luohu nodded. ”Sha Mo did not act alone, and he was assisted by a witch demon named Wu Han. She infiltrated our palace, and she used the Bloodfiend Frenzy Elixir on you. Fortunately, someone helped me concoct the antidote; otherwise, you would never have recovered, and you would have been under their control forever.”

”Sha Mo and Wu Han.” Shang Zhanluo muttered with killing intent in his eyes. ”Who was the person who helped you concoct the antidote?”

”A witch demon named Wu Zu.”

Shang Zhanluo was slightly surprised to hear that name. ”As I recall, Wu Zu separated herself from the witch demon race a long time ago, right? It wasn’t easy to find her location, let alone ask her to concoct the antidote.”

”Yes,” Shang Luohu nodded. ”Someone helped me find Wu Zu, and he managed to persuade her to concoct the antidote.”

”He?”

”His name is Zhang Fei.”

”Who is Zhang Fei?” Shang Luohu explained a few things to Shang Zhanluo, which shocked him. ”Empress Huo’s husband, huh?”

”That’s right.” Shang Luohu hugged his arm. ”Empress Huo and Zhang Fei aren’t helping us without reason, husband. There’s a serious danger threatening this universe, and those creatures might invade this Paradise Realm one day. They heard about your condition, and they decided to help me.”

”What danger is that? What are those creatures you mean?”

Shang Luohu created a qi screen showing those shadowy creatures. ”Empress Huo said that they were shadowy creatures, and they were truly powerful. She and Zhang Fei had already fought with them, but they couldn’t eliminate them completely. Besides, the leader of those creatures was even more powerful, and it forced them to flee.”

”Even Empress Huo had to flee from their leader, huh?” Shang Zhanluo muttered in shock. Even he didn’t dare to fight Feng Yao head-on, but such a creature could force her to flee, proving that it was truly powerful. ”Did you get all this information from them?”

”They told me many things, including the Ancient Realm.”

”The Ancient Realm?” Shang Zhanluo was shocked once again.

”The Ancient Realm is a realm higher than this Paradise Realm, and the Forbidden Land is part of that realm.” Shang Luohu retold several things to her husband. ”They told me about all that, but they didn’t tell me how to get to that realm.”

Shang Zhanluo took a deep breath. ”Since in the past, Empress Huo has been the strongest cultivator in this Paradise Realm, and she possesses a wealth of knowledge that no other cultivator has ever known. Although she reincarnated a long time ago, I didn’t expect her current reincarnation to be as powerful as her past one. Since Zhang Fei is her husband in this lifetime, he should be as powerful as her, right?”

”Zhang Fei is indeed powerful, husband.” Shang Luohu fell into thought, considering whether to tell her husband about their daughter or not. ”They can access all domains because he possesses a unique ability.”

”A unique ability?”

”Zhang Fei has the ability to open gates to all the domains he has ever visited, and he has already visited all the domains before the gates separated from each other.”

Shang Zhanluo exhaled softly. ”Although I don’t know Zhang Fei, I’m grateful that he and Empress Huo have restored my condition; otherwise, I would have been under Sha Mo’s control for the rest of my life, so I hope to meet him someday.”

”Husband.”

”Hmm?”

”If you’re thinking of repaying Zhang Fei, what do you think if we hand over our daughter to him?”

Shang Zhanluo frowned. ”Our daughter is already married to Mo Zixiao, and we both know that her condition is very bad. We don’t even have the power to free her from the Celestial Demon Race, so how could we possibly do that?”

”What about Shang Fengxue?”

”My sister? Are you—”

”In fact, Shang Fengxue is not here, husband. She already left before all the domains separated, and she has been living in Zhang Fei’s sect since then.”

”What? Did she—”

”Listen to me first, husband.” Shang Zhanluo looked at Shang Luohu with a frown before nodding. ”Zhang Fei’s sect is entirely different from other sects, and all races gather there.”

”All races?”

Shang Luohu nodded. ”The human, demon, beast, natural, and demihuman races gather in Zhang Fei’s sect. They live in harmony and peace, so Shang Fengxue is happy to live there, and she helps him train the sect’s disciples.”

”Which sect? Which domain?”

”The Moonlit Passion Temple in the Twin Flames Domain.”

”Isn’t that sect—”

”In the past, Moonlit Passion Temple was a dual cultivation sect, but Zhang Fei transformed it into a universal sect, and he recruited disciples from all races.” Shang Luohu changed the image on the qi screen and displayed the situation in the sect. ”You can see everything for yourself.”

”Hmm?” Shang Zhanluo seriously looked at the qi screen. ”Damn! How did Zhang Fei gather all the races in his sect?”

”Haha,” Shang Luohu laughed softly. ”Zhang Fei managed to conquer Empress Huo’s heart, remember? In the past, many cultivators wanted to have her as their wife, but not a single one managed to win her heart. Since he was able to do the impossible and marry her, he naturally has advantages that other cultivators didn’t have, right? Although I don’t know his advantages, he has succeeded in doing something that no one has ever managed, including Emperor Long.”

”That’s right.” Shang Zhanluo nodded in agreement. ”In the past, Emperor Long tried to unite all races for the safety of this Paradise Realm, but everyone rejected his idea, including me. I didn’t expect that Zhang Fei succeeded in making that happen, and all races lived in harmony in his sect.”

”Emperor.” Shang Zhanluo looked at Shang Zhui. ”In fact, Zhang Fei brought my son back to this Paradise Realm, and he lives in his sect now.”

”What? Has your son really returned to this realm?”

Shang Zhui nodded at him. ”My son now goes by the name Tian Shuixiang, and he’s one of the elders at the Moonlit Passion Temple. I’ve met him before, and I didn’t force him to return to our race.”

”Does that mean Ye Zhiye has also returned to this realm?”

”Ye Zhiye lives in the sect with my son, and I decided to bless their relationship.”

”Why did you decide like that, Zhui?” Shang Zhanluo curiously asked.

Shang Zhui let out a soft sigh. ”Emperor, our enmity with the Eternal Night Demon Race is none of their business, and they love each other, so I decided this way for their happiness.”

”Does your decision have anything to do with Zhang Fei?”

”More or less.” Shang Zhui nodded. ”Zhang Fei is not an ordinary cultivator, and he has many unique things in his possession. Besides, Qi Qingxiu and Ye Mingran are his wives, so I think it would be best if we don’t become enemies with him.”

”What? Are you serious about that?” Shang Zhanluo was really shocked when he heard that.

”Ye Mingran and Qi Qingxiu are Zhang Fei’s wives, husband. In addition, Nalan Shizhe is her mother-in-law because Nalan Wangzi is his wife.”

Shang Zhanluo looked at his wife in shock. ”Since Empress Huo, Ye Mingran, and Qi Qingxiu are willing to become his wives, he is definitely not an ordinary cultivator.”

”That’s right.” Shang Luohu smiled at her husband’s shocked expression. ”Besides the three of them, the Princess of the Celestial Dragon Race is also his wife, as is the granddaughter of Jia Shengyun and Jia Lingzhu.”

Shang Zhanluo took a deep breath. ”Jia Shengyun and Jia Lingzhu are grand elders of the fairy race, right?”

”Yes,” Shang Luohu nodded. ”In fact, Zhang Fei was the one who helped the fairy race to overthrow Jia Zizhen, and he did it because the previous fairy king wanted to get his wife, Jia Yuyan.”

”How do you two know so much about Zhang Fei?” Shang Zhanluo suspiciously asked.

”We’ve met Zhang Fei several times, so we know quite a bit about him. That’s why I think our best option is to get close to him, as that will give us many advantages.”

Shang Zhanluo still had doubts about that. ”What else do you know about Zhang Fei?”
