Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 625: Prepare To Fight

When they arrived at the location, they discovered Shang Baishi and Shang Xiaoyin had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion, particularly after having sex the previous day.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then crouched beside them, used his memory manipulation ability, and altered some of their memories, ensuring they would not remember that they had brought him there.

After that, Zhang Xiaolong [3] took out a pill and forced Shang Xiaoyin to swallow it. ʼHey! I wonder how Shang Ziyuan will react when she finds out about their relationship later.ʼ

”Longʼer, do you want to dig up these stones again? I think it will be difficult for us to come to this place after this, so I think we could dig up as many of them as possible.” Shang Yaolin posed this question while examining each type of stone on the cave wall.

”I do want to do that, Big Sis.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then proceeded to the side of the Beast Blood Pond. ”Iʼm also thinking about draining the contents of this pond and moving it to another place so that I can cultivate my body at any time.”

”Hmm?” Shang Yaolin immediately turned to him. ”Where do you want to move this pond?”

”I think the western island is the best choice, especially since no humans dare to go there.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then asked Mei to open the gate to the Azure Sky Realm. ”Iʼll go pick up Big Sis Xinyu first, and she can help us dig up these stones. Additionally, I need to buy a lot of barrels to move the beastsʼ blood.”

”I will start digging these stones.” Shang Yaolin immediately took out a dagger and started digging one by one.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] rushed to the nearest city in the Azure Sky Realm, bought many large barrels, and picked up Shang Xinyu, who lived in Azarothʼs former hut.

A while later, Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already brought Shang Xinyu to that place. She was shocked to see Shang Baishi and Shang Xiaoyin in such a situation, and she understood what had happened between them. ”Did you do this to them, Longʼer?”

”Yes, I did that to them, and Aunt Qianying helped me with it.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately took out the barrels and filled them with the beastsʼ blood.

Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs response caused Shang Xinyu to sigh deeply, particularly because she was aware of the consequences of Shang Baishi and Shang Xiaoyinʼs relationship. ʼSigh! I dare not imagine Shang Ziyuanʼs fury after learning about their relationship, and Xiaoyin will definitely suffer greatly.ʼ

”Hey! Xinyu! Help me to dig these stones!” Shang Yaolin shouted out.

”Okay.”

Gu Hanshuang and Dan Qingying, who had just finished dual cultivating with Zhang Fei [1], immediately raised their eyebrows as soon as they received the voice transmission.

The two immediately listened to Huangfu Lianʼs voice transmission and then turned to Zhang Fei [1], especially since the Huangfu Prince had asked them to do something about him.

”Why are you two looking at me like that?” Zhang Fei [1] asked both women.

Gu Hanshuang informed him directly. ”Prince Lian is on his way to this kingdom to capture you, Fei.”

”Prince Lian brought his fiancée, Ling Long. He also brought his other two women, Xuan Cunhua and Ming Yunjie.” Dan Qingying added.

Zhang Fei [1] was not surprised by that because he had expected that Huangfu Shou would make a move soon, but he did not expect that he would send Huangfu Lian to him. Moreover, the Huangfu Prince also brought his other three women with him, which he thought was a good opportunity for him. ”Who are Ling Long, Xuan Cunhua, and Ming Yunjie? What are their abilities?”

”Meng Yunjie is the disciple of the Venomous Serpent Sect, and she is a poisonous woman.” Zhang Fei [1] raised an eyebrow at Gu Hanshuangʼs answer. ”Her master is Senior Du Shen, the poison expert in this realm. According to her story, she has soaked in a hundred kinds of poison, so her body is extremely poisonous, including her saliva. Prince Lian can form a relationship with her because her master has provided him with antidotes for all the poisons in his body, making him immune to her poisons.”

”A poisonous woman, huh?” Zhang Fei [1] muttered under his breath, but he certainly wasnʼt worried about Meng Yunjie, especially since he was immune to all poisons. ”What about Xuan Cunhua?”

Dan Qingying told him directly. ”Xuan Cunhua is a disciple of the Black Fang Sect, and all members of the sect are skilled in assassination. Although Iʼm uncertain about their abilities, Iʼve heard that they have mastered a concealment technique that is imperceptible to cultivators, even those in the seven divine realms. Even detection artifacts are ineffective against them, so you must exercise extreme caution when dealing with them.”

Instead, Zhang Fei [1] smiled when he heard that, especially since he had the demon fox group, an assassin group. However, Liu Hua and their subordinates did not have such great concealment abilities, so he immediately thought of a way to capture Xuan Chunhua to obtain the technique. If they mastered the technique, his organization would become more effective. ”What about Ling Long? What is her ability?”

”Ling Long has already completed all the challenges on the first floor of the Star Tower, and I heard that she met a demon there.” Zhang Fei [1] turned to Gu Hanshuang in surprise. ”She not only acquired the demonʼs bloodline but also acquired all its marionette-related abilities.”

”Marionettes?”

”Yes.” Gu Hanshuang nodded to Zhang Fei [1]. ”Ling Long can control all living creatures, be they humans, plants, or beasts, with her marionette techniques. I fought her once, but she used her technique on me, which caused me to lose consciousness and fall under her complete control.”

”What a stroke of luck!” Gu Hanshuang and Dan Qingying were puzzled to see Zhang Fei [1] looking so excited. ”Actually, I have long wanted to learn marionette techniques, and I once tried to ask someone to teach me about them. Unfortunately, I couldnʼt learn her techniques without joining her clan, so I decided to give up. Since Ling Long has such techniques, I will capture her and force her to teach me the techniques.”

Dan Qingqing immediately warned him. ”Fei, you should know that Ling Long is stronger than Prince Lian, and her cultivation is on par with Prince Zhou Tong in the 5-Moon Divine Transcend Realm. Moreover, her marionette techniques are truly unusual, and you will definitely fall under her control if you meet her, so youʼd better rethink your plans against her.”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [1] laughed and kissed Dan Qingyingʼs lips. ”I know your worries, but I am confident that I will be fine, and I will make Ling Long obey me instead. That way, I can learn her marionette techniques, and I can also use her to fight Huangfu Lian and his father.”

”How can you be so confident?” Zhang Fei [1] answered Gu Hanshuang by using his enhanced demon touch on her. ”Ahh! Stop it, Fei. Iʼm already exhausted.”

Zhang Fei [1] immediately stopped. ”Do you understand now? No men nor women can resist my dual cultivation techniques, and Ling Long will be affected.”

”Speaking of Ling Long, she is indeed Prince Lianʼs fiancée, but she is still a virgin.” Dan Qingyingʼs information surprised Zhang Fei [1]. ”I donʼt know what really happened between them, but he once told us that he had never had sex with her, and they were only intimate with each other.”

”I think itʼs even better.” Zhang Fei [1] then opened his map, searching for the location of Huangfu Lian and his three women. He found that they were still within the area of the Huangfu Kingdom, but the kingdom was closer to the Xian Kingdom compared to the Zhou Kingdom in the north, so he thought that they would arrive a day earlier than Zhou Shenxin and Zhou Hanling. ʼI think I should deal with them first before I face the two people from the Zhou Kingdom.ʼ ”Do any of you know Zhou Shenxin?”

”No.” Both women shook their heads at Zhang Fei [1]. ”Do you also have problems with the Zhou Kingdom?”

Since the two women had already fallen deeper and deeper for him, Zhang Fei [1] chose to tell them. ”In fact, Huangfu Shou, Bai Yaowei, Zhou Xiaochuan, Ximen Changtian, and Ximen Gongfu have already targeted me due to my test results at the Star Tower.”

”Your test results?” Zhang Fei [1] then shocked both women by telling them about his results in the strength and battle challenges. ”You are too amazing, Fei! Back then, we could only light up four crystals on the stone obelisk, so we didnʼt make it into the top 100 ranks.”

”Did you really defeat Zhou Fang?”

”Zhou Fang is not as strong as Zhou Tong, and he is too reckless, so I can defeat him by using some tricks.” Zhang Fei [1] then smirked. ”I have never fought with Huangfu Lian before, but I think he is no different from that guy, so I am confident in being able to defeat him. Moreover, I am not alone, and I will ask some people to help me deal with them.”

”Do you want to ask Emperor Xian and Empress Shi for help?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei [1] then got out of bed and hurriedly got dressed. ”Since Huangfu Lian asked you to keep an eye on me, the two of you will not return to your sect, right?”

Both women answered him with a nod. ”We canʼt return to the sect, especially since we have to see Prince Lian, or he will hunt us down and kill us.”

”You two are my partners now, so I wonʼt let you guys get hurt, let alone die. If any of you are in danger, you can contact me directly, and I will come to save you.” After he said that, Zhang Fei [1] immediately left their room and went to the Xian Palace.

Dan Qingying immediately turned to her friends. ”Zhang Fei is much better than Prince Lian, right? He treats us so gently, and he never threatens us like he does.”

”Yeah, youʼre right,” Gu Hanshuang replied with a nod. ”I hope Zhang Fei can defeat Prince Lian so we wonʼt have to live in fear anymore. Anyway, they will arrive in this kingdom within one to two days, and we must prepare a false report for him.”

Dan Qingying agreed with that. ”Iʼm too tired, so we should sleep first.”

Zhang Fei [1] had already arrived at the Xian Palace, but he found Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang still in their rooms. Since he couldnʼt possibly meet them now, he decided to find Yang Caojing, who was busy in his office. ”Oh? Why did you come here at this early hour?”

”Senior Yang, I would like to discuss some things with you.” Zhang Fei [1] immediately sat down in front of Yang Caojing and explained to him about the group from the Huangfu and Zhou Kingdom. ”I canʼt possibly fight Zhou Hanling, so I need your help to fight him. As for Zhou Shenxin, I will handle her myself.”

”Zhou Hanlingʼs cultivation is at the 3-Moon Divine Expansion Realm, so you are not his match.” Yang Caojing then asked him. ”Are you sure you can fight Zhou Shenxin? As far as I recall, her cultivation is comparable to Zhu Tongʼs at the 5-Moon Divine Transcend Realm, and she is an expert soul cultivator, making her a formidable opponent.”

”Oh?” Zhang Fei [1] was surprised. ”Do you know Zhou Shenxinʼs abilities in the soul cultivation path?”

”No.” Yang Chaojing shook his head in response. ”Zhou Shenxinʼs master is one of the best soul cultivators in this realm, and his abilities are slightly higher than Chao Yuanfengʼs. If you want to know her and her masterʼs abilities, you can go to the Xian Imperial Sect to meet Old Chao, especially since he knows her master quite well. Anyway, Emperor Xian decided to cripple Li Yiping and his two sons, and Xian Luo has begun to remove Xian Hongʼs loyalists from the sect.”

Zhang Fei [1] showed no concern for the fate of Xian Hong, Li Yiping, and their two sons. ”Senior Yang, you can convey this matter to Emperor Xian and Empress Shi, and I will go to the Xian Imperial Sect to meet Senior Chao now. Regarding Huangfu Lian and the others, I will fight him and Ling Long, but I think Xuan Chunhua and Ming Yunjie might do something else, like infiltrating this palace.”

”All right, I will convey this matter to them once they wake up.”

After that, Zhang Fei [1] left the Xian Palace and rushed to the Xian Imperial Sect, and he had no difficulty entering the sect, especially since his results in the Star Tower had already been spread there.

Zhang Fei [1] rushed to Chao Yuanfengʼs residence, but he found him with Bai Tianʼer, who seemed to be seriously cultivating. ”What brings you here so early?”

”Senior Chao, I would like to know about Zhou Shenxin and her master.” Chao Yuanfeng was a little surprised by Zhang Fei [1]ʼs answer. ”The Zhou Princess and Zhou Hanling are on their way to this kingdom to capture me, and Senior Yang told me that she and her master are soul cultivators. Since I donʼt know anything about their abilities, I need information about them to deal with her.”

Chao Yuanfeng released a heavy sigh after hearing all that. ”Zhou Shenxinʼs master is Kong Zhi, and his soul cultivation level is at the perfection stage of the Heavenly Soul Level, like me. As for the Zhou Princess, her soul cultivation level is at the early stage of the earthly soul level, and they have mastered the Soul Whisper Arts.”

”Can you tell me about the Soul Whisper Arts, Senior?”

”I donʼt know much about the Soul Whisper Arts, but one of them can weaken our soul power significantly. Since the soul is the main essence of living beings, our bodies will also weaken as our souls weaken.” Zhang Fei [1] nodded in understanding, as Qiao Liangren and Shang Yingyue had told him many times. ”Additionally, they can forcefully pull a personʼs soul out of his or her body, and they can attack his or her soul directly to kill them. Since your soul power is still below Zhou Shenxinʼs, you are likely to be affected by her soul techniques, so you should avoid fighting her head-on, and you can use long-range attacks to counter her.”

”Thank you for your advice, Senior Chao.” Zhang Fei [1] then stood up. ”In that case, I will return and prepare myself to fight Zhou Shenxin.”

”That kidʼs result at the Star Tower brought him much trouble.” Chao Yuanfeng then turned to Bai Tianʼer. ʼYouʼd better stop approaching him, or youʼll be dragged into his troubles, and you wonʼt be able to save yourself if that happens.ʼ

After leaving the Xian Imperial Sect, Zhang Fei [1] immediately returned to the portable mansion and asked all his partners to dual soul cultivate with him. Within the cloud mansion, Zhang Fei swiftly engaged in dual soul cultivation with all his wives.

Apart from preparing himself to fight Zhou Shenxin, Zhang Fei wanted his soul power to break through to the earthly stage of the Earthly Soul Level. After all, Hun Di would arrive at the Wasteland Realm in two days, and he was worried that he would refuse to meet him if his soul power had not reached that stage.

Feltia [2] also stopped dual cultivating with his female demon partners, and he started dual soul cultivating with them while manually cultivating to complete the daily quest. Meanwhile, Zhang Fei [4] brought Orith, Ilsath, Zilvora, and Balena to one of the forests in the Netherworld Realm to complete the other daily quest.

Zhang Fei [5], who previously stayed on Earth, immediately entered the Yin-Yang Space. He asked Gu Jinglin to stop cultivating and woke up the other five prisoners: Wang Xiaoyi, Chu Youqian, Shen Shixi, Shen Xiwu, and Mo Xuanxing.

Before he started dual soul cultivating with them, Zhang Fei [5] chained Zhou Meiling in one of the rooms first, causing her to scream in rage. However, he ignored her and hurriedly started dual soul cultivating with the six female prisoners.

Xing Mei, who had calmed down, watched them from a distance. ʼHow long is he going to push me aside like this? If he doesnʼt need me, he should just let me die.ʼ
