Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 601: People Thoughts

”What do you think happened to them? How did they turn into demons? Is it possible that demons have infiltrated this kingdom?” Lian Jinshu asked his brother-in-law.

”I canʼt answer that.” Yong Zhengjun replied with a heavy sigh. ”However, this kingdom is under the supervision of Huangfu Shouʼs subordinates, and he has ordered them to kill any demons who dare to infiltrate here, so Iʼm sure no demons can get past them. Perhaps someone has harmed them, but I am unsure of the perpetratorʼs identity. Your wife is my sister; I asked Cheng Feng to reach out to our organizationʼs headquarters for help. We are currently awaiting their response, but Iʼm uncertain if they have a solution to help them recover.”

”I see.” Lian Jinshu nodded in understanding. ”In that case, I will wait to hear from you about their answer, and I hope they have a solution for my family.”

After Yong Zhengjun left, Lian Jinshu immediately approached his family and forced them to swallow a pill. ”This pingan pill will make you guys sleep for a long time so that you wonʼt be stressed about your situation, and I will try to find other ways to restore your condition.”

Lian Jinshu then went to another room, took out his alchemy furnace, and tried to concoct something for his family.

In a sect, two women sit side by side uneasily, confusing their sect sisters.

”What happened to you two, Gu Hanshuang and Dan Qingying?” A female disciple asked the two women.

Another female disciple also asked them. ”Do you two miss Prince Lian? As I recall, he went to the Star Tower ten days ago, right?”

”Yeah, youʼre right, Ting Ting.” Gu Hanshuang then answered the first womanʼs question. ”As Tingʼer said just now, Qingying and I do miss Prince Lian, Ning Wu.”

Dan Qingying naturally knew that Gu Hanshuang was lying, but she chose to follow her. ”A month before Prince Lian left for the Star Tower, he was always by our side, and we had grown accustomed to his presence.”

”Are you two really happy to be with him?” Ning Wu curiously asked.

Ting Ting also asked. ”As far as I know, he has several other women by his side, right? Examples are Xuan Cunhua from the Black Fang Sect and Ming Yunjie from the Venomous Serpent Sect, both of which are located in the Huang Kingdom.”

”Humph!” Dan Qingying snorted as she showed her the sea dragon bracelet. ”Xuan Cunhua and Ming Yunjie do live close to Prince Lian in the Huangfu Kingdom, but he cares more about us than them, so we donʼt worry about them. Among his women, Ling Long from the Huangfu Imperial Sect is the one who worries us the most, especially since she lives with him in the Huangfu Kingdom.”

Ting Ting and Ning Wu agreed with that. ”Ling Long is not beautiful, but she has a devilish figure and high cultivation. She is even stronger than Prince Lian, so Iʼm not surprised if he prioritizes her.”

Gu Hanshuang abruptly rose from his seat and helped Dan Qingying stand up. ”Do you two want to join us? We are heading to the capital to search for resources for our cultivation.”

”Yes!” Ting Ting and Ning Wu immediately followed them. ”Weʼve heard about the Sky Jade Restaurant, but weʼve never tried their dishes, so we want to go there now.”

”Are you sure that brat kidnapped Meiling?” Zhou Xiaochuan asked as he stared at his first son, Zhou Tong.

”Honestly, I donʼt have any evidence of that, Father.” Zhou Tong was silent for a moment. ”However, that kidʼs ability and strength are simply absurd, and his appearance is too mysterious. Thatʼs why Iʼm sure that he kidnapped Meiling, and he probably hid her somewhere that no one else could find. Moreover, he also has a close relationship with that mysterious woman called Feng Yao, and she came to our realm specifically for him.”

”Meiling disappeared before Feng Yao arrived, right?”

”Yes, Father.”

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded slightly. ”In that case, she has nothing to do with your sisterʼs disappearance, but I agree with you that Zhang Fei is most likely the kidnapper.”

”What should we do now, Father? We have to save Meiling as quickly as possible, or they will use her against us.”

”I want you to stay in our kingdom and enter seclusion, and you must break through to the Divine Expansion Realm soon.” Zhou Xiaochuanʼs answer caused Zhou Tong to raise his eyebrows. ”Xian Changyue already knows that you are targeting Zhang Fei, and she will report this matter to Xian Feng, so you donʼt need to interfere in this matter. I have ordered Shenxin to take care of that brat, and her mastery of the Soul Whisper Art is much better than yours, so Iʼm confident that she can take care of him.”

Zhou Xiaochuanʼs decision to send Zhou Shenxin to deal with Zhang Fei surprised Zhou Tong for a moment. ”All right, I wonʼt interfere in this matter for the time being, but I will look for that brat after my cultivation breaks through to the next stage.”

After Zhou Tong left, an old man appeared behind Zhou Xiaochuan. ”Are you sure that Feng Yao comes from the upper realms?”

”Emperor, I have personally listened to her conversation with the four people from the beast and natural raceʼs kingdom. Although she didnʼt say it explicitly, Iʼm sure the place she was referring to was one of the planets in the upper realms.”

Zhou Xiaochuan propped his head with his hands and thought deeply about Feng Yaoʼs reasons for coming to the Nine Stars Realm. ”Which kingdoms are aware of her presence in our realm?”

”All of them.” Zhou Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows slightly. ”The people from the Huangfu Kingdom had already left when that woman arrived, but the people from the Bai Kingdom are under Huangfu Shouʼs control, so Iʼm sure he will also know about her soon after they return.”

Zhou Xiaochuan then gave the old man an order. ”I want you to follow Shenxin when she looks for Zhang Fei later, and if she fails to capture him, you can help her.”

”Yes.”

In the Ximen Demon Kingdom.

Nu Huangjin was sitting in front of her two children, listening to them recount all the events in the Star Tower, particularly the survival challenge that forced Ximen Yueliang to give up.

Nu Huangjin then checked her daughterʼs body, but she could not find anything strange in it. Unfortunately, she lacked the ability to check her soul, so she was unable to locate Zhang Feiʼs soul mark. ”Even though the two of you failed to continue the challenge in the Star Tower, you both at least managed to return home safely, and you can try to go there again in the future.”

”Yes, Mother.” Xian Hongwu then stood up. ”I will go see my father now.”

Ximen Yueliang really wanted to tell Nu Huangjin about Zhang Feiʼs actions against her and Ximen Yan, but her words trailed off every time, leaving her helpless. ”Mother, I want you to help me capture Zhang Fei and turn him into a puppet, and I will use him as my servant for the rest of his life.”

”All right, I will help you get him.” Nu Huangjin herself had always doted on her daughter, and she did not hesitate to fulfill all her requests. ”However, Zhang Fei has a good relationship with that mysterious woman, so I cannot act rashly, and I will act immediately when the opportunity arises.”

Ximen Yueliang herself had realized that Feng Yao was very strong, and she was much stronger than her parents. ”Yeah, I know. The activities in the tower exhausted me physically and mentally, so I want to rest now.”

After Nu Huangjin left, Ximen Yueliang immediately took off her clothes and walked to the mirror. Her expression turned gloomy as she rubbed her chest, recalling Zhang Feiʼs soul mark and words. ”Tch! That bastard! I canʼt do anything to him, but my mother can definitely capture him, and I will make his life miserable if he falls into my hands!”

Meanwhile, Ximen Hongwu was already standing in front of Ximen Changtian and telling him about Zhang Fei. ”Are you going to take action against him, Father? Despite his youth and weakness, his talents are undeniable, and I must acknowledge his superiority over me.”

”Iʼve sent someone to the Xian Kingdom.” Ximen Hongwu was surprised by Ximen Changtianʼs quick action. ”Iʼve heard from your mother about that mysterious woman, and Iʼm sure that her sudden arrival in our realm has something to do with Zhang Fei, so we canʼt act carelessly if they really have a good relationship. Sheʼs much stronger than us, so I ordered him to look at the situation first before I made a decision regarding that kid.”

Ximen Hongwu nodded in understanding as he realized Feng Yaoʼs strength. ”What about Ximen Yan, Father? Yueliang doesnʼt seem to have changed anything, but I saw for myself that he stabbed something at her neck, so I thought he had used something against her.”

”Sigh.” Ximen Changtian let out a soft sigh after Ximen Hongwu mentioned his nephew, especially since Ximen Yan had long wanted to get his daughter, and he did so on the orders of his blood brother, Ximen Hongfu. ”Your mother couldnʼt find any abnormalities in Yueliangʼs body, so she probably used that just to paralyze him. Even so, I wonʼt ignore other possibilities, and I will monitor your sister myself so I can immediately take action if she shows any abnormalities that will threaten us.”

Ximen Hongwu nodded in understanding. ”All right, Iʼll leave Yueliangʼs matter to you, Father. Iʼll go into seclusion now, especially since Iʼm still too weak, and I wonʼt be able to inherit the kingdom if I continue to be weak like this.”

Ximen Changtian nodded with satisfaction at his sonʼs words, and he also went to see his wife as soon as his son disappeared.

Meanwhile, Ximen Yan stood before two people who were intently examining his body. They were the Emperor and the Empress of the Dark Demon Kingdom, Ximen Gongfu and Zheng Moyue.

Ximen Gongfu was disappointed as his son did not progress to the next challenge in the Star Tower, nor did he complete his task of capturing Ximen Yueliang. Moreover, Ximen Yan also lost his puppet, Qian Ying.

Unlike her husband, Zheng Moyue did not blame her son, as she did not expect that there would be a powerful soul residing in the Star Tower. All the cultivators in her generation had never realized it, even though they had challenged it several times. Moreover, Ximen Yanʼs cultivation was still too weak to face such a powerful soul, so he felt it was natural for him to fall under its influence.

Based on Zhang Feiʼs orders, Ximen Yan revealed all this to his parents. He was certain that the two demon emperors would devise a plan to capture him once they received the report from their subordinates, so he instructed the Ximen Prince to convey this information.

”Go into seclusion now.”

”Yes, Father.”

After their sonʼs departure, Ximen Gongfu directly questioned his wife. ”Do you believe his story about that powerful soul?”

”The Star Tower appeared in our realm out of nowhere, and we could never find its origin. The tower doesnʼt look too big, but itʼs like another world, and there are so many strange places we havenʼt explored in it. Moreover, there are so many difficult tests with good rewards in there, so I believe that our son is not lying to us.” Zheng Moyue pondered for a while before continuing. ”As for the mysterious woman, I donʼt think she intends to do anything in this realm other than challenge the tower, so I donʼt think we need to worry about her as long as we donʼt come into contact with her.”

”Youʼre right. We should avoid that woman, or weʼll be the ones in misery if we find trouble with her.” Ximen Gongfu then asked again. ”Do you want to challenge the tower again? Our son may not be lying to us, but I want to prove for myself that there is a powerful soul inside the tower, and the only way to do that is to go inside again.”

Zheng Moyue found the situation intriguing as well. ”We canʼt possibly challenge the tower with just the two of us, and we have to bring some powerful demons from our kingdom to help us. If necessary, you can meet your big brother and invite him to join us, so our chances of going further up will be greater.”

Ximen Gongfu frowned for a long time before nodding to him. ”All right, I will meet my brother now, but Iʼm not sure heʼll be willing to join us.”

”At least you can try it first.” After Ximen Gongfu left, Zheng Moyue also went to another area, where a middle-aged man was contemplating alone. ”What are you thinking, Xian Hong?”

Xian Hong immediately looked up at Zheng Moyue, who was already standing in front of him. ”I got information from my two sons about a brat named Zhang Fei, and I heard from them that he has a close relationship with Xian Xianqin and Yun Xinyue, so I asked my wife to investigate him.”

”Iʼve heard from our people about that kid, and his talent seems to be far above our children, especially since he can light ten crystals with his cultivation still at the Earth Realm.” Zheng Moyue then sat on the table in front of Xian Hong while crossing her legs over each other, revealing her smooth, long legs. ”Has your wife found any information about him?”

Xian Hong swallowed his saliva before sharing with Zheng Moyue some details about Zhang Fei, particularly his restaurant in the Xian Kingdom. ”My wife wonʼt be able to do anything about that kid due to his relationship with Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang, so please send someone to help her.”

Zheng Moyue immediately contacted someone and ordered him to go to the Xian Kingdom. ”Do you want to join us? My husband and I plan to go to the tower and challenge it soon, especially since we want to check something there.”

”Oh? What made you guys suddenly think of challenging the tower?” Zheng Moyue promptly shared her sonʼs story with Xian Hong. ”The presence of the powerful soul is indeed a mystery, and there are still many other mysteries there. Thatʼs why I will join you guys, and I hope we can reach a higher floor than last time.”

Zheng Moyue abruptly got off the table, took a seat on Xian Hongʼs lap, and wrapped his arms around his neck. ”My husband has gone to see his big brother to discuss the matter, and he probably wonʼt be back for a few days. This way, we can have fun with the two of us for the time being, and he can join us after he comes back.”

ʼIʼve been with them for a long time, but I still canʼt understand this womanʼs madness, and Ximen Gongfu doesnʼt even mind her sexual fetishes.ʼ Xuan Hong immediately picked up Zheng Moyue and laid her on the bed, where they began their sexual activity.

When the fourth test of the survival challenge finally appeared two hours later, a group from the Bai Kingdom, led by Bai Chongxi, suddenly approached Zhang Feiʼs group.

Zhang Fei deliberately told them their location and asked them to come to him, especially since the people from the Zhou, Huangfu, Ximen, and Dark Demon Kingdoms had been eliminated. ”Do you three still want to continue the challenge? If you guys want to stop, I can send you all to my private place now, but all of you must wait for us to complete our challenge before I send you three to another place.”

”Iʼm still curious about the other challenges, and I want to know my limits so we will continue our challenges.” Bai Renfu and Bai Shouyi nodded in agreement with their big brother.

”All right.” Zhang Fei then led his group to search for items in accordance with the new testʼs request.

Bai Chongxi also led his two siblings to another area, but Bai Shouyi repeatedly glanced at Zhang Fei, and his closeness to Xian Xianqin somewhat annoyed her.
