Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 775: Act

”My debt with you has been paid off, and I no longer owe you anything, Shi Wuxian.”

”Hehe.” Shi Wuxian chuckled. ”Are you going back to the Lingyu Realm now?”

Du Yuanjia nodded. ”My master is coming out of seclusion soon, and he wants to take us to another realm to challenge a tower, so I have to go back there, but I will ensure the recovery of Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan first.”

”A tower?”

Du Yuanjia immediately explained to Shi Wuxian and Shang Ziyuan. ”Some time ago, my third junior brother was visiting his relatives in the Frozen Moon Realm, and they told him about the Moon Tower. According to him, the tower has ten floors, and there are many difficult challenges inside. Despite their difficulties, they will give us many excellent rewards, which are difficult for us to obtain even in the upper realms, including many divine-grade techniques.”

Shang Ziyuan frowned after hearing all that. ”Based on the information I got, Hun Di brought Qiao Liangren, Shang Yingyue, and many of the younger generations from those clans to the Blossom Heaven Realm four months ago to challenge the Sun Tower there. I donʼt know where he got the information about that tower, but I suspect that it is related to the Moon Tower you just mentioned.”

”They should be related to each other.” Du Yuanjia replied with a nod. ”In fact, the Moon Tower is not the only one, and my third junior brother said there are many other towers. Strangely, they do not exist in the upper realms, and they only exist in the middle realms. My master suspected that there was something valuable hidden within them, so he wanted to take us to challenge the nearest tower to our realm.”

”Do you know about the other towers?”

Du Yuanjia nodded. ”There are four other towers that we know of, but they are too far from our realm. The Star Tower in the Nine Stars Realm, the Sky Tower in the Azure Sky Realm, the Light Tower in the Luminance Realm, and the Dark Tower in the Darkstar Abyss Realm.”

”Isnʼt the Darkstar Abyss Realm a demon realm?”

”Those towers donʼt prevent demon cultivators from challenging them, so you donʼt need to be surprised by that.” Du Yuanjia then looked away with a slight frown that went unnoticed by the two women. ”Iʼll go somewhere else first, and you can contact me when Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan wake up.”

After Du Yuanjia left, Shi Wuxian asked Shang Ziyuan. ”Are you interested in challenging the tower? Since Hun Di and You Shen went to challenge those towers, Iʼm sure they arenʼt ordinary towers. Therefore, we have to go to one of them, but we will go to the nearest realm.”

”Havenʼt you heard of the movements of the other cultivators?” Shi Wuxian raised an eyebrow in response to Shang Ziyuanʼs question. ”Hun Di and his group werenʼt the only ones who challenged the Sun Tower, but the Nameless One, the Phoenix Race, Gong Ren, Xia Tian, ​​and Ai Weirenʼs groups also went to challenge the Sun Tower. In fact, I wanted to challenge the tower, but there were so many problems at hand, starting from my daughterʼs disappearance to the condition of my brother and sister-in-law, so I gave up on my intention.”

”How did your daughter disappear?” Shang Ziyuan explained to Shi Wuxian about the situation of Shang Xiaoyin and Shang Baishi, including her efforts to search for them for several months before Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan were poisoned. ”Since your brother and sister-in-law will recover soon, I think you donʼt need to think about them anymore, and your ancestors can protect them. As for your daughter, I know you are worried about her, but the rewards in those towers are really tempting. Therefore, we will go to the Sun Tower first, and I will accompany you to look for her if we fail those challenges, or we will be left behind by the other cultivators.”

Shang Ziyuan immediately agreed. ”I will talk to my ancestors about that, but we have to go to the Jin Clan first, and you have to help me to subdue Jin Ruyue.”

”Letʼs go then.”

Xi Yinying, who eavesdropped on Shi Wuxianʼs conversation with Shang Ziyuan from the shadow, immediately informed Xi Hongyan of their departure. As she expected, her matriarch and Xi Qiuwei moved to intercept the two women.

Xi Yinying felt that someone had been watching her since earlier, and she looked towards Shang Huaqiangʼs room for a while before sneaking into Shang Yanhanʼs place.

Inside the room, Zhang Fei approached Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan, who were still unconscious. If the two were in their peak condition, then he wouldnʼt be able to do anything to them. Fortunately, they were at their lowest, and they had no guard whatsoever.

Zhang Fei grinned faintly and used his soul manipulation ability on Fei Qinyuan, forcefully pulling her soul out of her body. He replicated her soul and stored the replica in his soul space before returning it. ʼI wanted to implant my soul mark into her soul, but Shang Yanhan is a soul cultivator. Even though heʼs not as skilled as Master Hun, Iʼm afraid heʼll notice my action.ʼ

[Why donʼt you just kill them, Master? If they die, Hong Quan and the others can just attack this clan, and you donʼt have to bother destroying them yourself.]

ʼThey still have their two ancestors, remember?ʼ Zhang Fei responded by shaking his head. ʼEven Grandpa Hong didnʼt dare to face one of them, let alone face them together. Moreover, Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan caused Qingyu and her daughters to suffer because of Chu Hongʼs death, so I donʼt want them to die too soon, and I will make them suffer endlessly. Once they are ready, I will hand these two over to them, and they can kill both of them themselves.ʼ

Zhang Fei then touched Shang Huaqiangʼs body and used the body modification ability to remove his dick, causing Mei to laugh out loud. [Hahaha! Master! You are so evil! Iʼm curious about his expression when he wakes up and finds his dick gone! He will definitely fall into a deep depression because of it!]

ʼHis shocked expression will be funny.ʼ Zhang Fei then used his plant generation ability to create seeds in their bodies. ʼThese soul-eroding seeds will grow by consuming their soul power and slowly weakening their soul.ʼ

Zhang Fei then left the Shang Clan to go to the Jin Clan, especially since Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuxian wanted to attack her. However, Du Yuanjia suddenly intercepted him and restrained his movement, but he was not too surprised by that. ”I knew you were pretending not to notice my presence.”

”Oh?” Du Yuanjia was surprised by Zhang Feiʼs calmness and observation. ”A young man like you is truly rare, you know? I couldnʼt detect your cultivation because of the concealment ring on your finger, but Iʼm sure it is still in the ten mortal realms. You already knew from the beginning that I was watching you secretly, but you deliberately appeared in front of me and let me capture you. So, who are you really? You were the one who poisoned Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan, right? Moreover, your actions towards that woman just now convinced me that you are a soul cultivator, and your mastery in the soul cultivation path is quite high.”

”Shouldnʼt you be able to guess my identity?” Zhang Fei immediately released his killing intent to shake Du Yuanjia, freeing himself from his restraint.

Du Yuanjiaʼs expression became serious because of that. ”Your killing intent is truly terrifying, and only my masterʼs killing intent has ever made me this scared.”

”If you already knew about my presence, why didnʼt you report me to them?” Zhang Fei calmly spoke.

”I donʼt have any relationship with them, and I healed them to repay my debt to Shi Wuxian. Therefore, your enmity with them is none of my business, and Iʼm just curious about your identity.” Du Yuanjia then asked him. ”What is your relationship with the Soul Emperor?”

Zhang Fei showed Hun Diʼs badge, proving Du Yuanjiaʼs guess. ”My name is Zhang Xiaolong, and Master Hun accepted me as his disciple four months ago, so you should already know the origin of my abilities in the soul cultivation path, right?”

”Yeah.” Du Yuanjia did not doubt Zhang Feiʼs identity, especially since no cultivator had Hun Diʼs badge other than his disciples. Even if others could make a counterfeit one, they would not dare to show it in public. ”None of the Soul Emperorʼs disciples are ordinary, including you. Why are you enemies with the Shang Clan?”

Zhang Fei shrugged nonchalantly. ”Shang Huaqiang has made my family suffer, so I want to take revenge on him.”

”Shang Huaqiang is indeed overly ambitious, and he has made so many people enemies of him, including those in this realm. Although I am unfamiliar with you, your ability to conceal yourself from Shang Yanshan convinces me that you will be a nightmare for him and his Shang Clan.” Du Yuanjia then looked north before continuing. ”Since you want to chase them, I wonʼt stop you anymore. If you have time, you can visit the Lingyu Realm, and we can talk a lot there.”

”Iʼm curious about the poison god, so Iʼll visit that realm in the future.” Zhang Fei instantly disappeared from Du Yuanjiaʼs sight.

Du Yuanjia took a breath after his senses could not keep up with Zhang Feiʼs movements. ”He is the Soul Emperorʼs disciple, but he also seems to be an expert in poison. If he is really a poison master, I will tell my master about him, and he might be interested in recruiting him as his disciple.”

With Zhang Feiʼs Nine Cloud Steps, he was able to get ahead of Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuxian in the Jin Clan. When he arrived there, all the members of the clan had gathered in front of the main hall, especially since he had informed Jin Ruyue before he left the Shang Clan.

The Jin Clanʼs members were actually quite large, but they were divided into several branches like the other clans, and their main members were about one hundred people.

Zhang Fei immediately contacted Hong Quan before opening the portal to the Hong Clan so he could prepare a temporary place for the Jin Clan members, and Jin Ruyue ordered all her clan members to enter it.

”Do you want to fight Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuxian?” Jin Ruyue inquired after all her clan members had left.

”Letʼs look at the situation first.” Zhang Fei led Jin Ruyue into the main hall, but he then used his forest manipulation to cover the entire clan area with trees. He also used his plant generation to create several things that could weaken Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuxian.

Even though Jin Ruyue had seen Zhang Fei do all that in the Ren Clan a month and a half ago, she still couldnʼt help being amazed by his abilities. ”Do you have plans to build your residence here?”

”At first, I wanted to build my residence here, but I changed my mind about it, and Iʼm looking for another realm that is more suitable for me and my family.” Jin Ruyue curiously turned to Zhang Fei. ”I havenʼt decided which realm I want to go to next, but I already have a few choices, and one of them is the phoenix realm.”

”Huh?” Jin Ruyue was shocked because the phoenix race would never accept humans living in their realm, but she remembered that Zhang Fei was a fox beast.

”Feng Yao is my good friend, and my big sister has become part of the phoenix race after she inherited the phoenix bloodline from one of their members, so there is no problem if we want to live there.” Zhang Fei then looked at the map. ”Xi Hongyan and Xi Qiuwei are on their way here, and they want to capture Shang Ziyuan.”

”How did they know that Shang Ziyuan was on her way here?” Zhang Fei tells Jin Ruyue about Xi Yinying infiltrating the Shang Clan to spy on them. ”Are you going to let her fall into their hands?”

Zhang Fei shook his head. ”Xi Hongyan has already obtained Shang Xishun, so I will not hand Shang Ziyuan over to them, and I will use them to weaken her first. As for Shi Wuxian, I donʼt know about her abilities yet, but she is fully confident that she can control you, so her abilities are probably related to hypnosis or something like that. Anyways, letʼs dual soul cultivate while waiting for their arrival, and Iʼll think of another plan once they arrive.”

Jin Ruyue herself had been waiting for Zhang Fei for a month and a half, so she immediately agreed, and they quickly began to dual soul cultivate.

ʼFuck! Who actually captured me in that tower? How long has that person been holding me captive? Since I woke up, no one has come to see me, and I canʼt check out.ʼ Li Tiannan, whose cultivation was sealed and whose hands and feet were tied, kept cursing and wondering in his heart.

*Crack*

ʼHmm?ʼ Li Tiannan stared at the door in shock. ʼHow... how did Linghu Yincheng and his three children get here? How did he break free from my Gu Insectʼs control?ʼ

Linghu Yincheng smiled faintly and stood before Li Tiannan. ”Are you surprised by my condition? I know you used your Gu Insects to control me and my husband, but I was lucky because someone kindly freed me from it. Even though my husband is still under your control, Iʼm sure he will be free soon. On the contrary, you will suffer, and the people from the Huangfu Clan will not be able to save you.”

ʼHow does this bitch know about the Huangfu Clan?ʼ Li Tiannan immediately realized everything. ʼFuck! I should have realized everything from the start! Zhang Feiʼs father saved her, and Wushuang has also fallen into his hands, especially since her attitude is different compared to before I left!ʼ

”Has Zhang Fei still not contacted you, Mother?” Bai Shouyiʼs question to Linghu Yincheng proved Li Tiannanʼs guess.

Linghu Yincheng shook her head. ”Empress Zhou told me that Zhang Fei is still busy with other matters, so we can only wait for him to come to us, and he will help us to free your father.”

”Fortunately, that female senior helped us capture this guy, and we can free our father from his control once Zhang Fei returns.” Bai Renfu uttered these words while glaring hatefully at Li Tiannan. ”Once our father is free, I will kill this man.”

”You canʼt do that, Brother.” Bai Chongxi said with a shake of his head. ”This guy has indeed done many cruel things to our family, but he is Zhang Feiʼs prisoner, and we still donʼt know about his plans for him.”

Linghu Yincheng then spoke to her two confidants. ”Aunt Xiaoting and Uncle Shiwei, please keep a close watch on this man. I will bring my children to meet Bai Shushi and Bai Zizhen to discuss the problems of our kingdom.”

”Yes, Empress.”

After that, Linghu Yincheng took her three children away from the small island and went to the Bai Kingdom. She could contact Bai Zizhen, but she could not contact Bai Shushi. She then contacted her niece, Bai Tianʼer, but the answer surprised her. ʼDoes Zhang Fei really intend to take Sister Shushi as his woman?ʼ

Since she couldnʼt contact Bai Shushi, Linghu Yincheng asked Bai Tianʼer, who was also a princess, to meet her in their kingdom on behalf of her mother, to which she immediately agreed.

Before long, they arrived at Bai Zizhenʼs residence, but the one who greeted them was Bai Hunyao, and the old man immediately kneeled before her. ”Please forgive me, Empress. I couldnʼt protect you and your family, and all of you had to suffer because of my weakness.”

”Forget it, Hunyao.” Linghu Yincheng helped the old man stand up. ”Our enemy came from the upper realms, and we canʼt possibly face him, so you donʼt have to blame yourself anymore. Letʼs meet Bai Zizhen now.”
