Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 904: Trapping Leng Xueyan

”Heh.” Leng Xueyan snorted. ”What are you going to do if I make a scene here? The two phoenixes behind you are indeed powerful, but you are just a speck of dust in my eyes, and I can crush you without having to move.”

Zhang Fei [5] shook his head and spoke to her. ”Standing at the peak of mortal cultivation for too long has blinded your eyes and mind, and you have become too arrogant because of it.”

Leng Xueyan wanted to attack Zhang Fei [5], but she instantly froze as soon as he released his killing intent, combined with his strength, which he borrowed from all the beasts in the beast space.

”You are powerful, but you forget many mysteries in this universe, and there is another sky above the sky.” Zhang Fei [5] took out the moonlit whisper sword and pointed it at her. ”If you think you are so great, you can fight with me now. However, I must remind you that I know no mercy, even if you are a woman.”

ʼThis brat is only in his twenties, and I have lived for five hundred thousand years, yet his aura and killing intent can surpass me.ʼ Leng Yueyan was shocked in her heart after she sensed both from Zhang Fei [5]. She immediately took out a twin sword, taking a fighting stance. ”Even if I lose to you and die in your hands, the people from my realm will come here, and they will destroy this realm in return.”

”I hate shameless old women like you the most! You come here looking for trouble, and you threaten us.”

Leng Yueyanʼs face darkened, and she dashed toward Zhang Fei [5] to attack him using her twin swords. He casually dodged each of her attacks, and he effortlessly deflected some of them.

Leng Yueyan was shocked by Zhang Fei [5]ʼs movement, but she was also confused because she couldnʼt feel the qi fluctuations from her body. No matter how fast her movements and attack speed were, she never managed to land a single attack on him, which infuriated her further.

Since he had already fought and been defeated by Zhang Fei [5] once, Feng Shen naturally knew that his speed and technique surpassed his or Leng Xueyanʼs, and he smiled in satisfaction watching the woman being toyed with by him.

Feng Xueying, who almost never smiled, also smiled watching the fight between Zhangi Fei [5] and Leng Xueyan. However, she was worried about the womanʼs previous threat, especially since the cultivators from the Sovereign Heaven Realm were simply numerous and powerful.

ʼMei, buy the three demon techniques.ʼ

[Yes, Master.]

{Learned the Illusion Manipulation ability.}

{Learned the Dream Manipulation ability.}

{Learned the Dream Walking ability.}

{25,000,000 female essences have been deducted from your balance.}

[Illusion Manipulation: Users can manipulate illusions and hallucinations, allowing them to alter the perceptions of others and create entirely fabricated experiences.]

[Dream Manipulation: The user can create, shape, and manipulate the dreams of oneself and others. The user can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming, and even emotional healing within dreams.]

[Dream Walking: The user is capable of entering the dreams of others, even when they are daydreaming.]

ʼThis bastard!ʼ Leng Xueyan cursed in frustration because she had not managed to attack Zhang Fei [5], even though she had exerted her top speed. ʼHow can he move so much faster than me with his low cultivation? Moreover, the gravity in this realm is five times lighter than in my realm, so his speed shouldnʼt be able to surpass mine.ʼ

Unfortunately, Leng Xueyan didnʼt know that five times heavier gravity was just childʼs play for Zhang Fei [5], especially since he had long since adapted to sixteen times heavier gravity. If his cultivation hadnʼt hindered him, he should have been able to adapt to thirty-two times heavier gravity.

When Leng Xueyan thought about that, Zhang Fei [5] activated his illusion manipulation ability, and without her realizing it, she had already fallen into the illusion he created.

Zhang Fei [5] then returned to the side of the two phoenix ancestors, and Feng Xueying immediately inquired. ”What did you do to this woman?”

”Her cultivation has reached the peak, but her mental strength is much weaker than I expected. Even her soul power is not higher than mine, and I have already used my illusions on her.” Feng Shen and Feng Xueying turned to Zhang Fei [5] in surprise. ”Illusion is one of my demon abilities, and she didnʼt realize I was using it because I was using my half-fox form.”

”How long will this woman be trapped in your illusion?”

Zhang Fei [5] responded to Feng Shen with a shrug. ”She will never be able to break free from my illusion as long as she doesnʼt realize itʼs just an illusion; she will continue to be trapped in it until I free her.”

”Why donʼt you use your other abilities on her?”

”This woman is too powerful and arrogant, and her soul is the worst of all I have ever met. Her soul is simply too dark and evil, and she will not hesitate to use anything or anyone to achieve her ambitions.” Both phoenixes were not surprised by Zhang Fei [5]ʼs explanation, mainly because of his status as Hun Diʼs disciple, but it was actually his demon eye ability. ”I can easily influence her using my abilities, but she will never truly submit to me. Instead, my actions will only provoke her to take the worst action, and we wonʼt be able to face the people from her realm at once. Therefore, I have to take another approach to her, and I use my illusion to weaken her first before I take any other action against her.”

Feng Xueying nodded in understanding. ”How strong are your sexual abilities?”

”Do you want to try them?” Feng Xueying shook her head at Zhang Fei [5]. ”So far, almost no woman or man can resist my abilities; only Feng Yao and one of my unofficial women have immunity to them. By the way, move this woman from here, or she will create chaos here.”

”I will move this woman to my icy lake, and the extreme cold will weaken her quickly.” After saying this, Feng Xueying immediately moved Leng Xueyan there.

Feng Shen shrank Leng Xueyanʼs flying artifact, handed it to Zhang Fei [5], and returned to the sea of ​​fire.

Zhang Fei [5] wanted to leave the Phoenix Realm, but Mei informed him that two uninvited guests had entered the realm, causing him to frown.

Soon, a giant vermilion bird darted towards him, but Zhang Fei [5] was surprised by the woman who jumped down from its back.

”Little fox! Itʼs really you!” Yuan Tianling shouted as she flew quickly towards Zhang Fei [5].

ʼWhy is this woman here?ʼ Zhang Fei [5] inwardly muttered as he took a step back as soon as Yuan Tianling landed in front of him.

Yuan Tianling pursed her lips as Zhang Fei [5] avoided her, but her cheeks reddened, remembering her crazy actions in the volcano. ʼUgh! Does he remember what happened at that time? If he remembers that, I will die of shame.ʼ

The giant vermilion bird immediately returned to his human form, and Zhu Jian landed by her side. ”You must be Zhang Fei [5], right? My name is Zhu Jian. Iʼve heard a lot about you, and I want to meet you.”

”Why do you want to meet me? Does your vermilion bird race want to hunt me?” Zhang Fei [5] asked with a serious tone.

”Haha.” Zhu Jian laughed at his response. ”You donʼt misunderstand us, okay? From my vermilion bird race, only elder Zhu Shanniang doesnʼt like you, especially since you are a Heavenly Fox. Moreover, Matriarch Zhu Hong has strictly forbidden us from looking for trouble with you, and we will obey her orders.”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding, especially since he had never felt any hostility from Zhu Hong or the vermilion bird ancestors. He glanced at Yuan Tianling before posing a question. ”How could this woman be with you?”

Zhu Jian turned to Yuan Tianling, who lowered her face like a shy girl, leaving him momentarily stunned. He then explained everything to Zhang Fei [5], which surprised him.

”Speaking of Leng Xueyan, she was caught in my illusion back there.” Yuan Tianling was shocked by that, and she looked in the direction Zhang Fei [5] was pointing at, checking the area using her senses. ”You donʼt have to worry about her; she will never know about your presence in this realm. Once she weakens, I will do something to her, and she will forget everything about me or this realm.”

Yuan Tianling immediately warned Zhang Fei [5]. ”You must be very careful if you do anything against my master. The Leng Clan is one of the founding father clans of our realm, and they are the second strongest after the Tian Clan. I donʼt know how you will do it to her, but people from her clan will probably notice your actions. If they manage to recover her memories, they will attack this realm directly, and all these phoenixes will die because of you.”

”Naturally, Iʼve thought about that possibility.” Zhang Fei [5] replied with a nod. ”However, my technique is different from other techniques, and no one has ever managed to recover the lost memories. The people in your realm may be ancient and powerful cultivators, but I have always been confident in my abilities, and I believe that they will not be able to do it either. Moreover, Iʼm not a fool, and I will prepare some precautions just in case they succeed in doing it.”

Yuan Tianling released a soft sigh. ”I hope you are right. I donʼt want you or these phoenixes to die because of your carelessness.”

”Why do you care about me so much?” Zhang Fei [5] suspiciously asked her. ”Yuan Tianxie, Yuan Tianjie, and Yuan Tiankong wanted to ambush me using those fire cultivators, right? They even contacted your parents to come to the Scorching Earth Realm to capture me, but their efforts were in vain because Feng Yao stopped them, and you all immediately left that realm once I got the Earth Flame.”

”Theyʼre not as evil as you think, okay?” Tian Yueling then pointed towards the icy lake. ”You donʼt understand how cruel our master is, and he will punish us severely if we fail to get the Earth Flame, so they intend to do that to you. As for our parents, they contacted them because of that little spiritʼs actions, and they wouldnʼt have come to that realm if he hadnʼt forcefully dragged me into the lava.”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [5] softly laughed. ”I know that, and I just wanted to tease you. Even though Huo Diqiu forcefully dragged you into the lava, you enjoyed yourself there, right?”

*Puff*

Smoke billowed out of Yuan Tianlingʼs head, and her face became extremely red once again, confusing Zhu Jian, who immediately spoke to her. ”What happened to you, Senior? You were so fierce to me before, and you even threatened to pluck my feathers if I didnʼt bring you here, but now youʼre acting like a meek girl.”

”Shut up!” Yuan Tianlingʼs sharp gaze made Zhu Jian tremble and take a step back. ”If you dare to tease me again, I will pluck all your feathers, and you will be a bald bird for the rest of your life!”

”Spare me, Senior!” Zhu Jian then turned to Zhang Fei [5]. ”Brother, you must save me from her, or she will pluck my feathers.”

Zhang Fei [5] just smiled and spoke to Yuan Tianling. ”For now, I donʼt have time for you, especially since I will return to seclusion once my business with Leng Xueyan is finished.”

”Can I accompany you in your seclusion? Iʼve come a long way here specifically to look for you; you wouldnʼt have the heart to leave me here alone, right?” Yuan Tianling spoke with a pleading look, making Zhu Jian even more curious about her meek attitude.

Zhang Fei [5] let out a soft sigh before agreeing to Yuan Tianlingʼs request, causing her to jump up and down in joy like a little girl. ”Do you want to stay in this realm, Brother Jian?”

”I have a lot to say to you, but since you want to enter seclusion again, I wonʼt waste your time on unimportant matters. Zhu Jian explored at Yuan Tianling before continuing. ”Her parents left her in my clan because they were afraid that her master would punish her, but her master is in your hands now, so I donʼt think anything will happen to her. Moreover, she insisted on entering into isolation with you, so I entrusted her to you.”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded slightly. ”I guarantee that nothing will happen to him, so you can return to your realm with peace of mind.”

”Iʼll be leaving now, but I hope weʼll meet again in the future, especially when things calm down.”

”We will.”

After that, Zhu Jian flew into the sky and returned to his vermilion form, and he sped up, leaving the Phoenix Realm.

On the other hand, Zhang Fei [5] brought Yuan Tianling to the icy lake, where they talked while waiting for Leng Xueyan to weaken.

Seeing her master acting rude and continuing to curse, Yuan Tianling couldnʼt help but laugh. ”What kind of illusion did you give her exactly?”

”Secret.” Zhang Fei [5] replied with a wink. ”What exactly was going through your brain at that time? Why did you secretly do something like that? You even left immediately after you enjoyed my Yang Qi.”

”Ugh! Why did you have to mention that?” Yuan Tianling asked with a face full of shame, but Zhang Fei [5] really wanted to know her reason ”I donʼt know what really happened to me, but Iʼve liked you since the first time we met. I asked you to stay by my side, but you refused my request.”

”Donʼt you and the people of your realm hate heretics?”

Yuan Tianling looked at Zhang Fei [5] with a frown. ”Are you really a heretic?”

”Havenʼt you heard a lot about me from Brother Jian? Do you still think that Iʼm a heretic?” Yuan Tianling responded to Zhang Fei [5] with a shake of his head. ”For me, righteous and heretic are the same, and I will use techniques from both to protect myself or those around me. If people consider me a heretic for using their techniques, then so be it, because I couldnʼt care less about their opinions. If they attack me, then they are my enemies, and I will slaughter them.”

”How many people have you killed?” Yuan Tianling asked in a curious manner.

”Uncountable.” Zhang Fei [5]ʼs answer shocked Yuan Tianling. ”As I told you in that realm back then, I donʼt have any powerful backers, and the cultivation world is inherently cruel. Therefore, I have to protect myself; I wonʼt be able to survive if I donʼt become cruel, and I will become an easy prey of the hunters.”

Yuan Tianling nodded in agreement. ”Youʼre right, the world of cultivation is indeed too cruel. When I started my path of cultivation, I hated my fate because I was born into a cultivator clan, and I would rather be born as an ordinary woman. Unfortunately, my fate was determined from the moment I was born, so I can only live my life, even though I never liked it.”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [5] laughed at that. ”You are wrong if you think that the life of an ordinary human is better than the life of a cultivator, especially since I know for sure about such a life. Before I became a cultivator, I was an ordinary human, and my life was never peaceful. Problem after problem kept coming my way, and I had to take care of everything myself.”

”Oh?” Yuan Tianling was surprised. ”How did you become a cultivator? How did you become this strong? My master is one of the strongest in my realm, but she has fallen into your trap now.”

Zhang Fei [5] turned to her. ”Do you believe me if I became a cultivator by luck?”
