Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 830: Tian Shuixiang

*Bam*

Huang Zhejun and Huang Jiguang slammed into the wall, fell to the floor, and vomited a mouthful of blood from their mouths. ”Cough... Cough...”

”Idiot!” Long Jiutian furiously shouted. ”I told you that I would arrive today, but you foolishly gave way for that impostor to infiltrate this clan.”

”Cough.” Huang Zhejun rubbed his chest and explained. ”Lord, that personʼs aura is identical to yours, so we didnʼt realize that he was an impostor. However, he didnʼt do anything in this clan, and he had already left long ago.”

Long Jiutian went straight to Huang Zhejun, grabbed his head, and read his memories. However, he didnʼt find out much from his memories, especially since the Huang ancestor didnʼt communicate much with Zhang Feiʼs clone, and they only exchanged a few words a few times.

Long Jiutian found out about the four humanoid dolls in Huang Zhejunʼs memories, but he was disappointed because the Yan Jinqing and Tantai Lingyan dolls were taken away by Zhang Feiʼs clone.

Long Jiutian rushed to the dungeon, followed by Huang Zhejun, Huang Jiguang, and the three women. Upon arrival, he checked out the Zhang Fei and Lin Moxian dolls, but he realized that both of them were dolls and destroyed them instantly.

Huang Zhejun, Huang Jiguang, and the three women were shocked to see that. Before they could speak, Long Jiutian knocked them backward until they slammed into the dungeon wall. ”Find those damn people now.”

After they wiped the blood on their mouths, Huang Zhejun and Huang Jiguang hurriedly left their clanʼs dungeon. The Huang ancestor contacted Xiong Yehui and Lei Xuanfeng to help them search for Zhang Fei, Lin Moxian, and the two women.

Lei Huiyin, Huang Bingyun, and Qin Liangyu shrank as soon as Long Jiutian turned towards them with a fierce gaze. However, a snow-white bird suddenly darted into the dungeon and attacked the demon, knocking him several steps back.

”This Qi! Didnʼt my lord send Feng Yichen to the phoenix realm? How can that ice phoenix be in this realm?” Long Jiutian rushed out of the dungeon before jumping to the highest place in the Huang Clan, looking for Feng Xueyingʼs whereabouts.

Long Jiutian noticed numerous traces of ice Qi, intentionally left by Feng Xueying, in the darkness of the night sky. Without realizing that it was a trap, he immediately rushed after her.

After those people left, Zhang Fei [5] walked into the Huang Clan together with Lin Moxian in an invisible state, and they went into the dungeon to retrieve the fragments of the two dolls.

Zhang Fei [5] canceled his abilities as soon as they arrived there. Lei Huiyin, Huang Bingyun, and Qin Liangyu were surprised by their appearance, but they did not show any excessive reaction, especially since he had added some things to their memories.

Zhang Fei [5] then took out a black pill and gave it to Lei Huiyin. ”You know what to do with this pill, right?”

”Yes, Master.” Lei Huiyin replied with a nod. ”Iʼll prepare this pill now; my husband and others wonʼt notice once they take it.”

After Lei Huiyin and the two women left the dungeon, Lin Moxian asked Zhang Fei [5]. ”What have you done to make them loyal to you?”

”I added some things to their memories.” Lin Moxian raised an eyebrow at Zhang Fei [5]. ”Itʼs one of my demon abilities, but I rarely use it, including against my enemies. I only changed the memories of a few of them, and most of them are men, so they are completely loyal to me.”

”Does that mean you will bring three women to your side?”

Zhang Fei [5] answered with a nod. ”You have seen my special prison, and the cultivation of three of the ten women there is still in the ten mortal realms. Therefore, I will replace them with Lei Huiyin, Huang Bingyun, and Qin Liangyu. That way, the tube will produce more Yin Qi faster, and I donʼt have to worry about breaking through by relying on your auntʼs Nine Revolutions Pill to stabilize my foundation.”

”I see.” Lin Moxian then warned him. ”Junior brother, the Nine Revolutions Pill can indeed stabilize our foundation, but you canʼt always rely on it. The ingredients are scarce, and the time to concoct it is quite long. My aunt once told me that it took her a month to concoct one pill, and she has never managed to concoct more than one pill because of the complexity.”

”Senior brother, I have three cultivators with the wood element, remember? In fact, I already have the herb seeds to concoct the pill, and they have already helped me grow them, so I donʼt need to worry about the herbs.” Lin Moxian could only shake his head hearing that because Zhang Fei [5] was a cheater with them by his side. ”As for the time to concoct it, I donʼt dare to say exactly how much time I need to concoct it. I havenʼt tried concocting it yet, and I will try concocting it first after the situation in this realm calms down.”

Lin Moxian let out a soft sigh and patted his shoulder. ”If you can refine the pill faster and with more quantity than my aunt, then your breakthrough will be unstoppable, and you can break through whenever you want. By the way, letʼs leave this clan now, or Huang Zhejun will be aware of our actions.”

”Letʼs go! I want to see Feng Xueyingʼs fight with Long Jiutian.” Zhang Fei [5] immediately brought Lin Moxian out of the clan.

”Hmm?” Long Jiutian frowned as he reached the last trace of ice Qi, which was already outside the Xianjin Realm. Feng Xueling was standing with her back to him, both hands behind her hips. ”How did you get to this realm?”

Feng Xueying turned to him with a bone-piercing cold gaze. ”Do you think all phoenixes live in the phoenix realm?”

”Iʼve been in this realm for a long time, and Iʼve never felt your presence here before.” Long Jiutian replied confidently, but Feng Xueyingʼs aura suddenly disappeared, even though she was still standing in front of him. ”I didnʼt expect you to suppress your aura so deeply that I couldnʼt sense it. Since you are here, I will capture you and hand you over to my lord.”

Feng Xueying said nothing and stretched her right hand forward. In an instant, a few snow-white birds flew towards Long Jiutian, but the demon immediately countered it with several blackish red balls.

Feng Xueyingʼs snow-white birds immediately disappeared after colliding with Long Jiutianʼs blackish red balls, and those balls instantly shot towards the ice phoenix. She kept calm and blew out a cold breath at them, freezing them.

Long Jiutian, who was previously happy after destroying those snow-white birds, immediately became tense. He was previously confident that he could defeat Feng Xueying with his abilities, but she froze his blackish red balls instead.

”Your blood and darkness can corrupt many things, but none of them can corrupt my ice.” Feng Xueying once again summoned her snow-white birds and shot them toward Long Jiutian.

Unlike before, Long Jiutian could not destroy Feng Xueyingʼs attack, and the snow-white birds flew around him, creating a vortex of ice around him.

*Swoosh*

A blackish red vortex instantly emerged from Long Jiutianʼs body to counter Feng Xueyingʼs attack, but it immediately froze, making him panic. He immediately flew out of the ice encirclement and shot a few other blackish red balls toward the ice phoenix.

”Futile.” Feng Xueying waved her hand, freezing those balls again. Soon, a few ice arrows appeared behind her, and they shot straight toward Long Jiutian.

Long Jiutian intended to counter those arrows by creating a blackish red shield in front of him, but their trajectory changed and circled behind him. However, another shield appeared behind the demon, but it immediately froze after they stuck it.

”Fuck!” Long Jiutian cursed and floated away from Feng Xueying. ʼIʼve heard that the ice of the ice phoenix is ​​​​indeed freezing, but it shouldnʼt be able to freeze darkness, yet she managed to do it repeatedly.ʼ

”Thinking in battle, huh?” Long Jiutian immediately turned back with a black sword in his hand and attacked Feng Xueying, but the ice phoenix turned into an ice statue before shattering. ”You canʼt even tell the difference between illusion and reality.”

Long Jiutian turned to Feng Xueying, who had already returned to her original position. He intended to inform Xereth of the ice phoenixʼs whereabouts and abilities, but a snow-white fog quickly enveloped him, causing his body to gradually freeze.

ʼShit!ʼ Long Jiutian tried to fight it with his darkness and blood, but it backfired on him, especially since he froze even faster. A large block of ice encased the demon in a matter of seconds.

Zhang Fei [5] and Lin Moxian immediately appeared behind Long Jiutian, checking his condition. ”Did you find anything inside his body, Old Phoenix?”

”No.” Feng Xueying shook her head at Zhang Fei [5]. ”However, Iʼm sure Xereth has planted something into this demonʼs body, so I froze him instead of killing him. Otherwise, the demon would instantly become aware of his death, posing a significant risk to us, particularly since the others have not yet returned to this realm.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding. ”Iʼm glad you didnʼt kill this demon, and I will use him to increase my demon rank and cultivation later.”

Feng Xueying let out a soft sigh. ”I understand your desire to become strong, but you take shortcuts too often. It will have a bad impact on you one day, so you should think more carefully about using shortcuts.”

”I understand your concerns, and I thank you for that.” Zhang Fei [5] said sincerely. ”Unfortunately, I have no choice but to use shortcuts, especially since the enemies blocking my path are getting stronger and stronger. Thus, I have to increase my strength as quickly as possible, or I will always be dependent on all of you.”

Feng Xueying immediately scolded him. ”Youʼre too stupid, kid. Whatʼs wrong with having to depend on other people? Do you think itʼs worse than using shortcuts? No matter how strong you become in the future, you wonʼt be able to do everything by relying on yourself, and you will still need other peopleʼs help to overcome some things beyond your control.”

”Old Phoenix, have you ever been betrayed by people you trust?” Zhang Feiʼs [5] question surprised Feng Xueying and Lin Moxian. ”Iʼm not saying that you and the others will betray me one day, but my blood brother and ex-lover betrayed me long before I became a cultivator. In fact, I was able to reach this stage thanks to the help of many people, and I am aware that I will always need the help of others, but I would rather not continue relying on anyone. I am aware that using shortcuts will have a negative impact on me, but I am willing to bear the risk as long as I can be strong to protect myself and the people around me, especially all my wives and our families.”

”Iʼm just reminding you as a senior, and you can decide everything for yourself.” After she said that, Feng Xueying immediately disappeared from their sight. She originally wanted to take care of the people from the Huang, Xiong, and Lei clans, but she changed her mind and let Zhang Fei [5] and the others sort them out themselves.

”What happened to them?”

”I killed them with my hands.”

”Does your family know about that?”

”I told them myself.” Zhang Fei [5] then clenched his right fist and continued with full resolution. ”I hate betrayal the most, whether they are my enemies or family members; I will kill anyone who dares to betray me, and I will make them suffer before they die.”

Lin Moxian didnʼt say anything, patted Zhang Fei [5]ʼs shoulder, and flew into the realm again.

Zhang Fei [5] originally wanted to send the frozen Long Jiutian into one of his spaces, but he changed his mind and sent him to the Nine Hells Darkland instead. This way, the demon wouldnʼt harm his family if he suddenly managed to break free from Feng Xueyingʼs ice.

Zhang Fei [5] then monitored Huang Zhejun and the others through the system map, but they would never have expected that Tantai Lingyan and the others were hiding in Cheng Gaojiʼs shop.

Zhang Fei [5] suddenly saw a flying artifact similar to Lin Jingxiaʼs approaching that realm, and he could immediately guess that its owner was the alchemy god, Tian Shuixiang.

[Master, you have to be careful of that person.]

ʼWhat do you mean by that, Mei? Why should I be careful of him?ʼ

ʼAsura demon, huh?ʼ Zhang Fei [5] frowned and muttered inwardly. ʼDid he use something to hide his demon identity?ʼ

[Master, he didnʼt use an artifact to hide his demon identity, and another demon seemed to help him become human by using a special ability similar to your body modification ability, or else his demon aura had already spread around.]

ʼWhat kind of demon has the ability to change other peopleʼs bodies?ʼ

[The system has no information about demons with such abilities apart from incubi and succubi, master.]

ʼI see.ʼ

A while later, Zhang Fei [5] was already in front of Lin Moxian. ”Senior brother, what do you know about Tian Shuxiang?”

”What do you mean by your question, Junior Brother?” Zhang Fei [5] carefully explained to Lin Moxian. ”Are you sure that Senior Tian is a demon?”

”Iʼm a demon, remember? I donʼt know which demon helped him hide his demon identity; Iʼm certain that heʼs a demon.”

Lin Moxian nodded. ”Honestly, Iʼve never heard anything strange about Senior Tian, ​​​​and heʼs actually a nice guy. Unlike my aunt, he often helps people in our realm, and the residents like him very much, so I find it difficult to believe that heʼs a demon.”

”Well, not all demons are evil, right?” Zhang Fei [5] said with a smile. ”I donʼt know the reason he disguised himself as a human, but his demon identity is truly extraordinary. Moreover, his true name is Shang Xiuluo, and his true cultivation is not at the 1-Moon Divine Ascension Realm but 5-Moon.”

Lin Moxian looked at him in shock. ”How do you know so much about Senior Tian?”

”Sorry, but I canʼt tell you that, Senior Brother.” Zhang Fei [5] then looked outside because Tian Shuxiang had already arrived in front of the residence. ”For now, letʼs just pretend that we donʼt know about his true identity, but I will try something to investigate his purpose for disguising himself as a human.”

Lin Moxian nodded at him. ”I donʼt know how you know all that, but I hope you will never become enemies with Senior Tian. Otherwise, you will face too many powerful cultivators, including the Nameless One, and my Lin Clan might also become your enemy.”

”Does that mean you will also be my enemy, Senior Brother?”

”I canʼt answer that now.” Lin Moxian replied with a shake of her head. ”You are my junior brother, but the Lin Clan is my family, and such a situation will put me in a dilemma.”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding. ”Letʼs meet that person.”
