Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 264: Infiltrate The Moon Fox Sub-Realm

Min Ren was rendered immobile by Shen Haoran, who suddenly came along with his ten loyalists. ”Tell me, what kind of missions did that brat Zhang Fei accept, as well as their locations?”

ʼZhang Fei [1]? Why would someone like him suddenly look for that brat? Is there something wrong between them?ʼ Min Ren wondered in his heart, but suddenly received a voice transmission from Shen Xueyi. Shen Xueyi ordered him to tell Shen Haoran the truth, and he obeyed by informing them of his destination.

After he got the information, Shen Haoran immediately left the mission hall and gave orders to his ten loyalists. ”Look for that brat and kill him once you find him.”

”Yes, Sir!”

Min Ren, who heard Shen Haoranʼs order from a distance, immediately frowned. He intended to go see Shen Xueyi, but she had already appeared in front of him first. ”Arenʼt you going to stop them, Mistress Shen?”

”Do you think I would let them pursue him if I didnʼt know about his abilities and strength?” Instead, Shen Xueyi asked Min Ren back. ”You donʼt have to worry about that kid, Elder Min. Even if Shen Haoran pursues Zhang Fei [1] on his own, he will be unable to do any harm.

Instead, this matter is a favorable opportunity for me to reduce his loyalists, which will weaken him, and we can take action on him quicker than I had planned.”

Min Ren himself would be thrilled if Shen Haoran and his loyalists disappeared, but he still had doubts about Zhang Fei [1]. ”Can that brat really deal with them at the same time, Madam Shen? After all, their cultivation is at the late stage of the Earth Realm, and his cultivation is still at the Core Realm, so the difference in their strength is too great.”

”Elder Min, I already know more or less about Zhang Fei [1]; especially since I have experienced some of his abilities myself, I dare to guarantee that those guys wonʼt be able to do anything to him.” After she said that, Shen Xueyi immediately disappeared from the mission hall again, leaving Min Ren dumbfounded.

Before long, Min Ren came back to his senses and muttered to himself. ”I donʼt understand why Madam Shen trusts that brat so much, but I hope he will manage to survive those peopleʼs pursuit, and it would be even better if he could kill them.”

Zhang Fei [1] and Zefyr had already arrived at a location quite far from the Blazing Phoenix Sect, but the area was completely empty, and he immediately transformed into his half-fox form before trying to contact Hu Lili.

As he expected, Zhang Fei [1] could not contact Hu Lili from the outside, and he had to enter the moon fox sub-realm first to be able to do it, so he immediately took out the necklace that Hu Lili gave him some time ago.

Zhang Fei [1] decided to use his invisibility first because the moon foxes might be hostile towards him, so he didnʼt want to take such a risk.

”Hey! How could you disappear like that? This? I couldnʼt even sense your presence at all, Fei.” Zefyr inquired in a tone filled with surprise.

”Hehe.” Zhang Fei [1] chuckled before telling Zefyr. ”Invisibility is one of my abilities as a heavenly fox, but Iʼm not sure if this will also fool the moon foxes.”

Zefyr nodded in understanding of Zhang Fei [1]ʼs worries. ”Itʼs okay; you donʼt have to worry about them, because Iʼm sure they wonʼt be able to sense your presence like I can. Moreover, youʼve got me by your side, and Iʼll definitely help you divert their attention.”

”Thank you; Iʼll leave them to you.” After that, Zhang Fei [1] activated the necklace, causing a portal to appear out of nowhere, which immediately sucked them both in.

.

Moments later, the two were already inside the moon fox sub-realm, and the place was truly spacious and otherworldly, filled with various tall plants and vegetation.

Unlike Zhang Fei [1], who was stunned after seeing that, Zefyr immediately floated high into the air as she inhaled the air inside the place, and her expression clearly showed that she was extremely excited. ”Hey! Even though this is only a sub-realm of the Sky Jade Realm, the nature here is much fresher and more fertile, particularly since no humans live here.”

Zhang Fei [1] immediately opened his map to search for Hu Lili and Hu Yue, and he found that both of them were in an area that was quite far from his current location. After that, he checked each name of the members of the moon fox race, and he found Hu Dongʼs name at an even further distance, surrounded by so many moon foxes.

ʼHu Gao seems so paranoid, especially since they live in their own sub-realm, but he keeps such a tight guard over his son.ʼ

”So, where are those two women now?” Zefyr asked as he sat on Zhang Fei [1]ʼs shoulder again. .

”Over there.” Zhang Fei pointed in a certain direction, according to the map. ”Weʼll go there right away, and you can prepare to distract them if anyone notices us.”

”All right, leave them to me.”

.

Inside the cave, Hu Lili, who was helping her daughter cultivate, abruptly opened her eyes. Her expression was one of shock and disbelief at the same time, especially after she received a voice transmission from Zhang Fei [1], making her realize that he was in their realm.

Feeling the change in her motherʼs Qi, Hu Yue immediately opened her eyes and asked Hu Lili. ”What happened, Mother? Why did your qi suddenly become chaotic?”

”Zhang Fei [1] is here.” Hu Liliʼs answer left Hu Yue stunned. ”He really is reckless! I donʼt know why he was so bold as to come to our realm with his cultivation still being so low, but he really is here now, and he is on his way here.”

”Mother-”

*Bam... Bam...*

The soft punching sound on the caveʼs stone door surprised both women, prompting Hu Lili to immediately withdraw her Qi from her daughterʼs body, dress up, and open the stone door. However, she raised her eyebrows because she didnʼt see Zhang Fei [1], and she only saw Zefyr floating in the air by herself. ”A fairy? How did you come here?”

”Naturally, I came here with him.” Zefyr replied by pointing her little finger into the cave. Hu Lili looked back, but she was still unable to see or feel the presence of Zhang Fei [1], who was still in his state of invisibility.

Even Hu Yue searched her cultivation cave for Zhang Fei [1], but, like her mother, she was unable to locate him.

”All right, letʼs go in first.” Zefyr spoke as she pushed the moon fox mother back into the cave, and Hu Lili immediately closed the stone door once more, looking at her in confusion.

Before they could ask Zefyr, both women were shocked by the appearance of a portal, and they were even more shocked when Zhang Fei walked out of it. His clone also cancelled out his invisibility, causing both womenʼs jaws to drop when they saw them, especially since they looked like identical twins.

Zhang Fei smiled at seeing their reactions, but he immediately lifted Hu Yue to her feet, hugged her, and whispered in her ear. ”Hey, my sexy fox. Did you miss me?” I missed you so much and wanted to see you, so I took the risk of coming here to see you.”

Hearing Zhang Feiʼs voice and feeling the warmth of his body, tears unknowingly flowed from Hu Yueʼs clear eyes, and she immediately hugged him back while sobbing. ”Sob... Sob... I miss you so much, Fei. I always wanted to go see you again, but I was never able to, so Iʼm really glad that youʼre here now.”

”En, Iʼm here now, Yueʼer.” Zhang Fei replied in a soft voice as he hugged Hu Yue tighter.

Hu Lili let out a soft sigh, seeing her daughter like that, and she then asked them. ”How come there are two of you? Moreover, you guys are like identical twins, including your aura and cultivation.”

”He is my clone.” Zhang Fei said this as he released Hu Yue from his embrace, wiped the tears from her eyes, pointed to the portal, and then answered Hu Lili. ”I have to accompany my wives and family, and they are training inside right now. Thatʼs why I used my clone to join the Yin-Yang Pavilion, especially since I need a lot of qi and female essence.”

”I see.” Hu Li nodded in understanding upon hearing that, but he was also taken aback by his cultivation. ”Your cultivation still hasnʼt broken through to the Core Realm since we last met, which was about half a month ago, but you have already reached the 10-Star Core Realm, and I can feel that you will soon break through to the Soul Realm.

If you continue to cultivate at this rate, then I am sure you can reach the Heaven Realm or the Sovereign Realm in less than five years. You must also be careful when increasing your cultivation, and do not rush to break through, lest your foundation collapse.”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei laughed when he heard that. ”You are the umpteenth person to remind me about it, and I appreciate all of your warnings. Thatʼs why Iʼm still holding back, or else I would have already broken through to the soul realm by now.”

”Thatʼs good.” Hu Lili nodded in satisfaction, knowing that Zhang Fei was not reckless with his cultivation. ”Anyway, what other purpose do you have for coming here so soon? Iʼm pretty sure that you didnʼt come here just to see Yueʼer, especially since you canʼt take her away from here right now.”

ʼMei, buy three sets of those pills and two sets of the pills for beast.ʼ

[Yes, Master.]

{You got Essence Qi Pill x3}

{You got Meridian Cleansing Pill x3}

{You got Dantian Strengthening Pill x3}

{You got Soul Enhanced Pill x3}

{You got Yin Purifying Pill x3}

{You got Beast Body Tempering Pill x2}

{You got Beast Talent Pill x2}

{You got Beast Advancement Pill x2}

{3,000,000 red jewels have been deducted from your balance}

{200 Lower Grade Beast Cores have been deducted from your balance}

{100 Intermediate Grade Beast Cores have been deducted from your balance}

{20 Advanced Grade Beast Cores have been deducted from your balance}

Zhang Fei then distributed all the pills to Hu Yue, Hu Lili, and Zefyr before explaining the effects of each pill, which shocked them, but their expressions turned to joy after that. ”Back then, I didnʼt have the jewels to buy them, so I used my clone to come here and give them to you two.

This way, Yueʼer will be able to break through to the sovereign realm, and you can also break through to the 2-Star sovereign realm. Furthermore, after you two take the talent pills, you guys can cultivate faster, but Iʼm not sure if your beast ranks can surpass the divine rank.

Even if you two canʼt, Iʼm sure you guys will still be stronger than Hu Gao, and we will get rid of him and his son together when Iʼm ready.”

”What about me? Why did you give these precious pills to me?” Zefyr asked with curiosity.

Zhang Fei immediately turned to Zephyr. ”We both have a contract, remember? Since we are both bound to each other, you are part of my extended family now, and I will naturally treat you as an equal to them.”

Hu Lili was not surprised to hear Zhang Fei had a contract with a fairy like Zefyr, especially since she knew quite a bit about the Heavenly Fox. ”Did you come here to ask about your fox race?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei nodded to Hu Lili. ”Zefyr told me about the ten-tailed fox that used to live in this realm, but I had never heard of it before. Given that you were aware of my fox race based solely on Yuʼerʼs memories, I assumed you had some knowledge about it. Therefore, I came here to inquire about it, particularly because of the unusual writing it left behind.

”Unusual writing?” Zefyr immediately told both women about the writing on the stone monument, and Hu Lili nodded in understanding before answering Zhang Fei. ”I donʼt know for sure about the writing, but I know that the ten-tailed fox really existed. In fact, he is the ancestor of all fox races, including our moon fox race.”

”Huh?” Zhang Fei and Zefyr were taken aback upon hearing this, particularly because it differed from Oliverʼs story, and the wind fairy inquired with Hu Lili. ”Didnʼt the ten-tailed fox split itself into two? Both of them are the ancestors of the current heavenly fox, right?”
