Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 415: Informations

”Qingyu! Please! Forgive me!” Xing Mei kept screaming after Zhang Xiaolong [3] put her in one of the prison rooms. ”I... I did that because his contract beast killed my son! I...

I will never be at peace before avenging his death!”

”Have you forgotten the reason behind Gu Zhanʼs death? Boitata killed your son because he wanted to kill Ye Lian, and she would have died at his hands if she didnʼt kill him, remember?” Liu Qingyuʼs question left Xing Meiʼs mouth open without being able to say a word.

”Your son brought disaster upon himself by repeatedly cheating on his fiancée, and she had warned him to stop multiple times, but he always ignored her. So itʼs natural for her to break off their engagement after she met a better man, right? Unfortunately, he is too arrogant and unmanly, intending to kill her from behind.

Therefore, you shouldnʼt blame others for his death, and you should be ashamed of having such a disgraceful son.”

”But-”

”Even though we have been friends since we were young, Zhang Fei is my son-in-law. My daughters will be devastated if he dies in their hands, so I will never forgive your betrayal of us.” Liu Qingyu then turned to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Are you going to lock up Xing Meiʼs subconscious like them?”

”No.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] answered with a shake of his head as he looked at Xing Mei. ”I wonʼt use that on her for a while, and I want her to suffer being locked up in this place with no one to talk to. I want to see how long she can last in solitude, and Iʼll use that on her if her mental state experiences a breakdown.

Anyway, I want to go to the northern region now, so Iʼll send you back to the training space, but Iʼll take Ba Shuxiang with me.”

”All right.” Liu Qingyu immediately agreed to that, then turned to Xing Mei. ”Huanʼer and I have advised you many times to accept Gu Zhanʼs death, but you are as stubborn as your son, so you can blame yourself for your fate.”

”Qingyu! No! Please! Let me go!”

Liu Qingyu turned deaf ears at Xing Meiʼs shout, and she immediately disappeared into the training space after the portal opened. Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked at his new prisoner, causing her to take a few steps back. ”Hey, Iʼm not as depraved as your son, and I wonʼt do anything to you. Thatʼs why you donʼt need to be afraid like this, and you can enjoy your time here alone.”

After he said that, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately took Ba Shuxiang to leave the Yin-Yang Space. Xing Mei instantly collapsed on the floor and cried loudly, and she kept calling her husbandʼs name in hopes that Gu Tong could save her.

On the flying artifact, Hu Hong and Hu Qianli looked confused because Hu Qiaomu suddenly decided to bring them back to the central region, especially since she didnʼt explain anything to them. Moreover, she still hadnʼt found Hu Xiufu, but none of them dared to ask her, especially since her face looked so angry, so they were afraid that she would punish them.

Hu Qiaomu stood at the front of the artifact with her fists clenched tightly, making her palms completely red, and she kept pondering the situation. ʼDamn it! What should I say to Hu Gao? He would definitely punish me for not carrying out his orders properly, and I even fell into a pathetic situation like this. How could he make those natural races obey him?

How did he use techniques with dark elements? Could it be that he is a demon? His cultivation soul clearly has the characteristics of a demon, so I believe that he is indeed a demon, but Iʼm confused about the reason those people obey him.ʼ

Hu Hong and Hu Qianli responded to her with repeated nods, and Hu Qiaomu then told them that the identities of the cultivators were heavenly foxes, which confused them because they had never heard of that race before.

Observing their situation, Hu Qiaomu provided a detailed explanation of the relationship between the ten-tailed fox and the heavenly fox race. ”Their race is the strongest among all fox races, especially since they were born as mythical beasts, so divine beasts like us are not their opponents at all.”

”Does that mean Zhang Fei is also a heavenly fox like them, Elder? Otherwise, they wouldnʼt have come to this realm specifically to hunt him, right?” Hu Qianli asked Hu Qiaomu with a curious look.

Hu Qiaomu could only nod to them. ”So you guys understand what you have to say to them, right?”

”Yes, Elder.”

However, Hu Qianli and Hu Hong seemed curious about Zhang Fei after they heard all that, and they thought that he might be able to help them gain power and a freer life without having to be tied to their race, especially since their senior only regarded them as tools.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already taken Ba Shuxiang to his hideout in the Northern Region, so he immediately contacted Xie Jingxian, Mo Zifeng, Pang Hong, and Pang Gui, asking them to come see him right away.

”I didnʼt expect you to venture into this region by yourself, master.” Bai Shuxiang suddenly said to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Do you dare to do so because you are a demon?”

”Yes.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] did not deny Ba Shuxiangʼs guess. ”If I didnʼt have the darkness element, then I would think twice about coming to this region, especially since they might be able to sense my presence. Moreover, the situation in this realm is extremely serious due to the presence of a demon portal in the demon cave.

If they manage to break the seal, the situation could spiral out of control, so I must take action to prevent this from happening.”

Ba Shuxiang released a heavy sigh because she had never thought about such matters before, especially since her strength was too weak to help her seniors.

However, she started to learn many things after Zhang Xiaolong [3] took her to the Diyu Realm and the Netherworld Realm, especially after she listened to his conversation with Oz and the others before, so she realized that many powerful people from other realms could threaten their realm. ”Are you sure you can stop them, Master?”

”No.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately shook his head. ”You know that my cultivation is only in the soul realm, and I am no opponent for a senior like Chang Wuhan. Those people are much stronger than her, so I am just a speck of dust in their eyes, and I will die if I confront them with my current strength.

However, all of my wives, family, and friends live in this realm, so I canʼt turn a blind eye to this matter, or they will become victims if the demons manage to return.”

Ba Shuxiang nodded in understanding at that. ”Isnʼt that actually simple for you? You can take them to another realm so they donʼt have to face those demons, and they can live safely there.”

”You are correct; I can indeed save them by moving them to another realm.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately looked at Ba Shuxiang. ”Many of them, such as Qingyu, Lingxue, and Huaʼer, have strong ties to this realm, especially since they were born and raised here, and their families also live here.

Furthermore, they are not cowardly, so I believe they would not be willing to leave this realm just to save themselves; they would want to help their seniors defend it.”

”How about you bring some powerful demons from the Diyu Realm here, Master?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised his eyebrows at Bai Shuxiang. ”Itʼs true that the people in this realm donʼt like demons, but all of the major clans here know you and seem to respect you, so I donʼt think they will do anything to them.

Some of them, like Oz the 2nd, Zygoz, and Ursula, are quite powerful, so they will be valuable reinforcements for you in facing the demons of the Netherworld Realms.”

”They are indeed strong for the Diyu Realm, but their current strength is still not enough to fight with the demons from the Netherworld Realm, and Chang Wuhen might be able to defeat Oz the 2nd, so I have to think twice about bringing them here.

Moreover, I donʼt know for sure about the characters of those senior cultivators, and human hearts are hard to predict, so they might attack them after we defeat those demons.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then sat on the floor and pulled Ba Shuxiang into his lap.

”At least, I have a little knowledge of the plans of the demons from that realm, but I still have no information about the plans of the ancestors of those heretics. I just need to wait for my slaves to come here, and then I will think of my next plan to deal with them after they tell me everything.”

Ba Shuxiang was actually still embarrassed to be in such a position, especially since she was someone elseʼs wife. However, she still tried to adjust to her situation, and she then put her arm around Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs neck. ”Who exactly are your slaves, master? Are they members of those heretic clans?”

”Haha.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed and told Ba Shuxiang. ”I enslaved Pang Hong because he once made Huaʼer his puppet, and I sent him to monitor the Gu Clan. As for Pan Gui, I enslaved him to help me eliminate the clans in the Eastern Region, and those clans have been destroyed by him now.

Unfortunately, Pang Liyuan has already died at the hands of Mu Xuanqing, so I donʼt have any spies in the Pang Clan. However, his wife, Xie Jingxian, is my slave, so I ordered her to spy on the Xie Clan.”

”Eh? Did Pang Liyuan really die at his motherʼs hands?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at Ba Shuxiang. ”Honestly, he wasnʼt too bad, and his techniques, especially his shadow techniques, were quite handy, but itʼs a shame he had to die too soon. Fortunately, he already gave you his techniques, and they will be useful to you against those demons from the Netherworld Realm.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked outside because Pang Hong and Pang Gui had already arrived there, and they immediately informed him about the Gu Clanʼs movements. ”Hmm? Theyʼre already in the Pang Clan, huh? Does that mean theyʼre going to move soon?”

”Master, we canʼt confirm that, especially now that Pang Wachun has come out of his isolation and continues to monitor our clan.” Pang Gui then handed a bottle to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Master, they use this liquid to enhance the abilities of their Gu insects, and their abilities become more and more potent.

Moreover, some of them cannot die, and they continue to live again, even though they have been killed repeatedly.”

”Hmm?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the bottle cap, but a pungent smell came from inside, so he closed it again. ”Do you know what materials they use to concoct this liquid?”

Pang Hong immediately answered Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”We donʼt know about the materials because we didnʼt witness them concocting this liquid. We infiltrated the Gu Clan after Gu Changsheng and Gu Jinglin led many of their clan members to the Pang Clan.

However, we found many corpses under the clan, both humans and beasts, so we think that Gu Changsheng and Gu Jinglin sacrificed them to concoct this liquid.”

”Hmm?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at them with a frown. ʼIs it possible to concoct a potion by sacrificing living creatures, Mei?ʼ

[Master, I donʼt have much information about alchemy, but I think something like that is possible. It would be better if you asked Zhang Lingxue, especially since she is an experienced alchemist, so she might know something about this potion.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately put the potion bottle into the system inventory, so his real body could take it out and show it to Zhang Lingxue. ”All right, I want you two to go to the Pang Clan right now, and you must report to me immediately if they start moving.”

”Yes, Master.”

Both men immediately left the place, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned after he received a voice transmission from Mo Zifeng, who told him that he could not leave the Mo Clan, especially since Mo Jingyun was gathering them.

In addition, Mo Zifeng told Zhang Xiaolong [3] that Mo Changqiong and Gu Sanxi had already left for the Pang Clan a few days ago, and Mo Jingyun would lead them there soon.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately ordered Mo Zifeng to keep an eye on the people from the Mo Clan, and he then asked Xie Jingxian, who had just arrived at his place. ”What about your clan? Have they also gone to the Pang Clan?”

”Yes, Master.” Xie Jingxian then sat in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3], but she glanced at Ba Shuxiang in confusion, especially since there should be no more demons in the Sky Jade Realm. ”Actually, my parents asked me to join them in going to that clan, but I refused their request because I couldnʼt possibly come to you if I went there, so I waited in my clan for you to return.

Anyway, my ancestor ordered them to bring an object, but I donʼt know anything about it because my father hid it from me. However, he didnʼt seem to prepare it to fight Chang Wuhen and the others, and they might use it for other purposes.”

”Does Xie Zhengwu want to use that thing to suppress the other heretics?” Xie Jingxian answered Zhang Xiaolong [3] with a nod. ”He doesnʼt seem to trust Pang Wachun and the others, huh? However, thatʼs a good thing, and I might be able to seize the opportunity to immobilize them.”

”Does that mean youʼll move there now, Master?” Xie Jingxian inquired curiously.

”No.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head at her. ”Iʼm not their opponent, so I wonʼt make a move by myself, and Iʼll monitor their movements from here.”

Following this, Zhang Xiaolong [3] promptly contacted his acquaintances, relaying the information to his acquaintances. He then instructed them to relay this information to the senior cultivators in the Demon Cave, urging them to remain vigilant against the movements of the heretics.

In addition, he also ordered Hu Qiaomu to return to her sub-realm immediately, so she could gather the members of her race to help those seniors. He didnʼt forget to contact Oliver and the others, especially since they needed a lot of people to deal with their enemies, some of whom were even stronger than Chang Wuhen.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then spoke to Xie Jingxian. ”Since your parents and ancestors are in the Pang Clan, you do not need to return to the Xie Clan for the time being, and the two of you will help me to improve my cultivation.”

Xie Jingxian did not refuse Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs order, especially since her husband had died at the hands of her mother-in-law, and she also needed a man to satisfy her lust.
