Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 549: Gathering I

From a distance, Yuan Luo and the three women peeked at Zhang Fei and Xianqian, and it was evident to them that their princess harbored feelings for him. Otherwise, she would not take the initiative to hold his hand, let alone lay her head on his shoulder.

Yuan Luo then glanced at Bai Tianʼer, who had repeatedly attempted to approach Zhang Fei over the past week, but he had consistently rejected her. ʼHehehe! She has always been confident in her beauty and sexiness, but neither is enough to attract his attention.ʼ

Bai Tianʼer was so annoyed watching their closeness that she bit her little finger. Despite Xian Xianqinʼs status as a princess, she felt superior to her. However, he never paid attention to her and continued to avoid her. ʼTch! Was he attracted to her because of her status? How can I beat her if thatʼs true? Although my cultivation is higher than hers, my family status is much lower than hers, and I will never win against her if I donʼt raise my status. Hey! I still have one way to snatch him from her, but I have to wait until the maze challenge, and I immediately carried it out as soon as we entered the test place.ʼ

Ru Yanyue and Ye Zhiqiu also glanced at Bai Tianʼer, but they didnʼt say anything. They immediately turned to leave, pulling Yuan Luo away with them.

A young woman with long black hair and side bangs in the front casually walks into the Xian royal castle; some of her hair is pinned up, hanging down to her chest, and an ornamental pin adorns her head. Her heart-shaped face is truly mature, with two wide eyes decorated with red eyeshadow at both corners. Her nose is quite sharp, and her wide lips are covered in red.

Despite her petite stature, her appearance exudes elegance and charm. She is wearing a low strapless dress combined with gold cloth around her slim waist. The dress showcases her long neck, broad shoulders, and white chest. Her breasts are not that big, but her curves are among the best, and the way she walks is like that of a respectable woman.

”Oh? Youʼre finally back, Changyue.”

Xian Changyue asked Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang directly. ”What actually happened in the Wasteland Realm, Big Brother and Sister-in-law? Where did you two get the information about the presence of cultivators from the upper realms in that realm?”

Xian Feng immediately told his little sister about Zhang Fei, but he didnʼt tell Xian Changyue too much detail, and he kept several things secret, such as his four cores and three souls. ”He had lived in that realm for several months before he left for this realm, so he was familiar with the situation there. At first, I was skeptical about it, but he had no reason to lie to us, so I immediately contacted you and asked you to come back.”

”Where is Zhang Fei now? Can I meet him? I want to ask him about that realm directly.”

”He is on his way to the Star Tower with our children and the entourage from our sect.” Shi Qingzhuangʼs response raised Xian Changyueʼs eyebrows, as Zhang Feiʼs cultivation level was too low to challenge the tower, and he would encounter numerous cultivators in the quasi-divine realm and beyond. ”He is still young, and his cultivation is far below us, but he is not an ordinary cultivator. Your big brother has already tested his abilities himself, and he knocked him back in just one blow.”

”Oh?” Xian Changyue was surprised to hear that. ”Even if my big brother doesnʼt use his cultivation, thereʼs no way a cultivator in the ten mortal realms can knock him back.”

”Thatʼs right.” Both of them nodded to Xian Changyue. ”Thatʼs why I want to draw him to our side, but itʼs not easy, especially since he intentionally keeps his distance from us. I asked Xuanwu and Xianqin to establish a relationship with him, and their relationship is a little better now.”

Hearing that, Xian Changyue suspiciously looked at Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang. ”Donʼt tell me that you two want to match my niece with him.”

”Haha.” Xian Feng laughed in response. ”Xianqin still doesnʼt have a lover to this day, and I can see that they have an interest in each other, so I think itʼs fine if they become a lover or even husband and wife.”

Shi Qingzuang nodded in agreement with her husband. ”Actually, Zhang Fei is a dual cultivator, and he already has many wives by his side. However, our children told us that their relationship is very harmonious, and all of them live in one residence in the southernmost part of our kingdom.”

”Huh?” Shi Qingzhuangʼs confession about Zhang Fei made Xian Changyue gape in astonishment, but she then shouted at them. ”Are you two crazy? Why do you want to match Xianqin with a dual cultivator who already has many wives? Moreover, he is much younger than my niece, and his background is also unclear, so I donʼt understand why you two trust him so much that you want to matchmake them.”

”Age is just a number for cultivators like us.” Xian Changyue frowned at Xian Feng directly. ”I know your worries, but Iʼm sure youʼll change your mind if you meet him and all his wives.”

”You are a good emperor, but I feel you are not a good father.” Xian Changyue said this as she shook her head helplessly. ”No matter how genius he is, a playboy like him is not worthy to be my nephewʼs husband.”

”Why donʼt you go to the Star Tower?” Xian Changyue raised her eyebrows in response to Shi Qingzhuangʼs question. ”Since you donʼt believe us, you can meet Zhang Fei there to prove our words.”

”All right, I will leave for the tower right now.” After she said that, Xian Changyue hurriedly left them, and she immediately flew toward the center of their realm using her flying artifact.

”Why did you ask Changyue to meet Zhang Fei, wife?” Xian Feng asked in confusion.

Shi Qingzhuang smiled in response. ”Changyue has never been close to any man either, and she is as beautiful as our daughter.”

”Did you send her there on purpose to get her closer to Zhang Fei?”

Shi Qingzhuang acknowledged this with a nod. ”Our children have already told us about Zhang Feiʼs unusual relationship with his several wives, so it doesnʼt matter if Changyue also falls for him, right?”

”I see.” Xian Feng nodded understandingly. ”Unfortunately, Changyue is different from our daughter, so I am not sure that she will fall for Zhang Fei.”

”Who knows?” Shi Qingzhuang raised both hands in response. ”Just let Changyue meet Zhang Fei first, and we will see the results later.”

Xian Feng nodded slightly as he lifted his wife to her feet. ”Letʼs go; we have to start preparing for the meeting between the kingdoms.”

”Why did you suddenly come here, Longʼer?” Shang Yingyue inquired immediately upon the arrival of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Shang Yaolin at her office.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately asked. ”Senior Sister, do you know about a domain?”

”Yes.” Shang Yingyue replied with a nod. ”However, I donʼt know how to master a domain, so I cannot explain it to you. If youʼre interested in learning how to master a domain, you can ask my master when he arrives in this realm in two weeks, as he is one of the domain users.”

”Is Senior Hun Diʼs domain related to the soul?”

Shang Yingyue immediately told Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”My master has two domains, one of which is related to the soul since he is a soul cultivator. His other domain is related to his element, the poison element. Actually, Senior Brother Liangren and I once tried to learn how to use a domain, but we never managed to create one, and we decided to give up after trying for several years.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a heavy sigh. ”Is learning how to use a domain really that difficult?”

”Creating a domain is much more difficult than creating our soul mark.” Shang Yingyue then asked him. ”Why are you suddenly interested in learning about a domain?”

”Haha.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed before answering. ”My father once told me that a domain has many functions, one of which is to increase the effectiveness of our abilities while we are in our domain. Since my cultivation is still at the Earth Realm, I think a domain would be useful for me, especially if many cultivators try to gang up on me.”

”I see.” Shang Yingyue nodded in understanding. ”A domain is indeed very useful when facing several enemies at once, especially since we have full control within our domain. However, a domain is not completely perfect, and other cultivators can still counter it, especially those with abilities opposite to ours, such as light and darkness or fire and water. Therefore, you still have to pay attention to your opponentʼs abilities before you use your domain, or you will be the one who suffers if you rely too much on it.”

”I understand, Senior Sister. In that case, I will ask Senior Huan Di when he arrives in this realm, but I still have to work hard to break through to the perfection stage of the soul core level before breaking through to the earthly soul level, and I only have two weeks left, or else he wonʼt be willing to see me.” Without saying anything, Shang Yingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately escorted Shang Yaolin out of her room.

Shang Yingyue shook her head after they left. ”Our master will definitely meet Longʼer as soon as he arrives in this realm, but Senior Brother deliberately gave him a target to break through to the earthly soul level.”

When they arrived at their room, Murong Qianying was already there, and her eyes kept staring at Zhang Xiaolong [3], especially his lower body. He simply smiled and secretly activated his enhanced demon charm on her without uttering a word. He then escorted Shang Yaolin to the bathroom, where they enjoyed their time together.

Murong Qianying, who had been restless for the past week, became even more restless when her daughterʼs moans reached her ears. Zhang Xiaolong [3] continued to use his enhanced demon charm on her, but her mental strength was simply too strong, and she always managed to hold herself back by fleeing their room as soon as she felt its effects.

Murong Qianying actually wanted to return to her realm, but Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs figure never stopped appearing in her mind. She was worried that her husband would find out, so she decided to stay in the Wasteland Realm. ʼTch! That brat repeatedly used his dual cultivation techniques on me, but he deliberately ignored me, and he intentionally used Yaolin to heat me up.ʼ

As usual, Murong Qianying immediately left their room to calm herself down, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] was always monitoring her hiding place.

After flying for several hours, they finally arrived in the vicinity of the Star Tower, where they could see numerous other flying artifacts also heading towards the tower.

”That one is the flying artifact from the Yun Kingdom.” Xian Xianqin said to Zhang Fei as she pointed to a luxurious light blue flying artifact with cloud carvings on both sides. ”My mother told me that Uncle Yun sent Yun Qinghao and Yun Xinyue, and they came together with several groups of disciples from the Yun Imperial Sect.”

”Apparently, the Yun Imperial Sect is more peaceful than the Xian Imperial Sect.” Xian Xianqin did not refute Zhang Feiʼs words. ”What exactly is going on? Why does your sect feel like itʼs in disarray? We came with several other groups, but we flew separately.”

”The problem in our sect has something to do with my first uncle, but I donʼt want to talk about it now, and I will tell it another time.” Xian Xianqin then pointed to another flying artifact. ”The black flying artifact is the entourage from Huangfu Kingdom, and you should be able to recognize their leader, Huangfu Lian.”

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei smirked faintly when he saw Huangfu Lian standing at the front end of his flying artifact, but he then looked at two other flying artifacts. ”If my guess is correct, the white one is the Bai Kingdom entourage, and the green one is the Zhou Kingdom entourage.”

”The leader of the group from the Bai Kingdom is their first prince, Bai Chongxi, and his cultivation is at the 2-Moon Divine Transcend Realm. The man and the woman behind him are their second prince and princess, Bai Renfu and Bai Shouyi; their cultivation is at the 1-Moon Divine Transcend Realm and Quasi-Divine Realm.” Zhang Fei narrowed his eyes as he scanned the three people, but Xian Xianqin suddenly gasped. ”Eh? I didnʼt expect that Emperor Zhou would send his eldest son, Zhou Tong.”

”Zhou Tong?” Mei immediately displayed the manʼs data, so Zhang Fei could read it directly. ”Heʼs the strongest among all these people, huh? His cultivation has reached the 5-Moon Divine Transcend Realm.”

”If we talk about our overall strength, the Huangfu Kingdom is the strongest, but the younger generation of the Zhou Kingdom is the strongest, and Zhou Tong is their leader.” Xian Xianqin then pointed to several people behind the man. ”Emperor Zhou has dozens of children, but only a few stand out among them. The two men on his left are his half brothers, Zhou Fang and Zhou Tai, and their cultivation is at the 1-Moon and 2-Moon Divine Transcend Realm. Meanwhile, the woman on his right is his half-sister, Zhou Meiling, and her cultivation is at the 1-Moon Divine Transcend Realm.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei suddenly frowned as soon as he sensed two auras lock onto him, and he moved quickly to track down their owners. He then looked at the dragon flying artifact because they were there, and he easily figured out their identities from the system scan. ʼLong Tian and Long Chen, huh? They must be the children of Long Huang and Long Baiyun, and their parents must have already informed them about me.ʼ

”Hey, look at those two flying artifacts!” Yuan Luoʼs shout drew everyoneʼs attention to the two flying artifacts. ”They are groups from both demon kingdoms. They are powerful and vicious, so we must exercise caution and swiftly avoid them if we encounter them during the survival and maze challenges.”

Zhang Fei was surprised to hear that, especially since they didnʼt tell him about it beforehand. ”Oh? So we will also meet them in the survival and maze challenges? Wouldnʼt that be troublesome?”

”Thatʼs indeed troublesome.” Xian Xianwu answered Zhang Fei with a nod. ”However, you donʼt need to worry too much about that because our cultivation will be limited when we take the test of the two challenges, but they are still stronger than you because the restriction is only limited to the quasi-divine realm.”

”Quasi-divine realm, huh?” Zhang Fei then glanced at Ximen Chuixue, who was clenching his fists tightly. ʼBrother Ximen, you better hold back your anger, or they will realize your identity.ʼ

That startled Ximen Chuixue, but he nodded to Zhang Fei. ʼXimen Changtian and Ximen Gongfu! I will definitely take revenge by killing your children!ʼ

Zhang Feiʼs attention was suddenly diverted to the last flying artifact that was hovering slightly behind the flying artifact of the beast races, and he smiled faintly after Mei revealed their identities. ʼThey are members of the natural races, huh? I will try to approach them later so I can gain access to their kingdom.ʼ

Quickly, all the flying artifacts landed outside the barrier protecting the Star Tower, and the elders of each group immediately led their members to descend.

Unlike those people who seemed excited and impatient to challenge the tower, Zhang Fei continued to observe his potential enemies, especially those from the Huangfu, Zhou, Bai, and two demon kingdoms.

Without wasting any time, the elders immediately took out their respective tokens and led them into the Star Tower area through several holes opened in the barrier.
