Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 983: The Cause

Ju Xing let out a soft sigh before telling them. ”I myself donʼt know what kind of thing it is, but that guy said that itʼs a Gu insect.”

”As expected.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] clasped his hands. ”I canʼt check inside your dantian directly, but I suspect that itʼs a Gu insect, especially since its effect is almost the same as the one I encountered before.”

”Who was the one who used the Gu insect on you, Ancestor?” Ju Tan asked.

”Gu Changsheng.” Ju Tan and the others gasped as soon as Ju Xing mentioned the name. ”Back then, I was looking for something, but he and Cao Yunbai suddenly surrounded me. I managed to defeat and push them back, but that guy suddenly used his Gu insect, and I couldnʼt stop it from entering my body. Since then, the insect stayed in my dantian, and it continued to absorb my strength and lifespan, which made my condition become like this now.”

”Who is Gu Changsheng?”

Jia Yun immediately explained to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Gu Changsheng is the ancestor of the Gu Clan, one of the Cao Clanʼs in-laws. Beside that clan, there are still the Bao and Sima Clans, and those two clans are no less powerful than the Gu and Cao Clans.”

”I see.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in understanding before saying to Ju Xing. ”Since the thing in your dantian is a Gu insect, I need someoneʼs help to remove it from your body.”

”But—”

”Do you want your ancestor to die? Is this sacred place more important than his life and the future of your younger generation?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] interrupted Qian Chaoying with harsh questions. ”If you feel that this place is more important than them, so be it. I will not cure him and let him die, but the lives of everyone in this place will be your responsibility, and you will have to bear the consequences if those people attack here and massacre them.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs words filled Qian Chaoyingʼs face with rage, but he was no fool either. He was fully aware of the risks if the Cao and other clans attacked them, and they would not be able to face the combination of the four clans with their current strengths, let alone the Leng Clan, which was also eyeing them. ”All right, you can bring that person here.”

”Can I use my gate here?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] questioned Jia Yuyan.

Jia Yuyan nodded at him. ”You can open your gate, but you canʼt use your warp portal.”

”I see.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the gate to the Nine Stars Realm before disappearing into it. A few seconds later, he had returned to that place with Li Nantian. ”Check this old manʼs body, and I want you to take out the Gu insect inside his dantian.”

”Huh?” Li Nantian was shocked to hear that. ”Is there really a Gu insect in his dantian?”

”Yes.” Li Nantian took out a bottle and opened it. A small black and red insect came out of it, shocking Qian Chaoying and the others. Zhang Xiaolong [3] directly explained it to them. ”He is a Gu Master from the Grand Royal Realm, but he is my slave now, so you guys donʼt need to worry about him harming Old Xing.”

”How did you manage to capture him?” Zhu Ru asked.

Instead, Jia Yuyan answered him. ”This man was a subordinate of the Huangfu Clan from the Grand Royal Realm, and they ordered him to help their descendant in the Nine Stars Realm. This kid was quite vicious towards his enemies, and he enslaved this man because of their enmity.”

”Hehe.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] chuckled and pulled Jia Yuyan into his arms. ”You really understand me, my lovely stalker.”

”Back off!” Jia Yuyan pushed Zhang Xiaolong [3] , causing him to stumble backwards. ”Donʼt touch me again! Otherwise, Iʼll beat you black and blue!”

Jing Shenlin and the others seemed confused by Jia Yuyanʼs reaction, especially since the female elf was always calm and relaxed in any situation, but she suddenly reacted like that. However, they didnʼt know that the effects of Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs transcendent demon touch lingered within her body, and his actions just now caused it to react again.

ʼDamn it! Even though he used his abilities on me three days ago, I can still feel the effects of it to this day.ʼ Jia Yuyan inwardly grumbled as she calmed herself down.

ʼHahaha! You were too confident in your abilities, and youʼre feeling the effects now. Moreover, the effects wonʼt wear off before you reach orgasm several times, and youʼll continue to react every time I touch you.ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] then ordered his slave. ”Tiannan, remove that Gu insect from Old Xingʼs body now.”

”Yes, Master.” Li Tiannan then placed his Gu insect into Ju Xingʼs hand, and it quickly entered his body through his nostril. He controlled it and moved it toward his dantian to lure the other insects out of there. ”Senior, you will probably experience uncomfortable symptoms, so please endure it for a while.”

Ju Xing nodded at him. ”All right, you donʼt need to worry about me.”

”Yes.”

While they were waiting, Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked Jia Yuyan again. ”Did Tian Jingxuan send Chi Yuexin, Lin Zuxin, and Wenren Yue to the Red Sun Realm?”

”Not really.” Jia Yuyan replied with a shake of her head. ”When you were undergoing the battle test, Wenren Yue told us that your mirror technique was similar to Shang Ziyuanʼs, and she also told us some things about her. Therefore, we decided to send people to the Red Sun Realm specifically to recruit her, but I have warned them not to use force against her, mainly because of you.”

”How did Wenren Yue know about Shang Ziyuanʼs abilities?” Jia Yuyan immediately told Zhang Xiaolong [3], according to the womanʼs explanation to them at that time. ”Lin Jingxia, huh? All the events that have happened recently have made me feel that this universe is too small despite its vastness, and many people I know recently have connections with each other, including Old Hanʼs master.”

”Did you do anything to Chi Yuexin and the others?” Jia Yuyan curiously asked.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled at her question. ”Do you think I will let those who are eyeing my property go so easily? They didnʼt use force or anything, but I still have to do something to them just in case something unpleasant happens, right?”

ʼThis kid is always cautious, huh?ʼ Zhu Ru and the other elders said in their hearts.

”Youʼre right.” Jia Yuyan nodded in agreement. ”I hope you will never use it on them, or your situation will turn bad in this realm if you do something to them.”

”Hahaha.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed at that. ”Even if I did something to them, I certainly wouldnʼt do it openly, and I would do it without them or anyone else knowing.”

Jia Yuyan simply shook her head, especially since she could already guess what Zhang Xiaolong [3] would do to Chi Yuexin, Lin Zuxin, and Wenren Yue if they looked for trouble with him.

”Kid.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] turned to Ju Tan directly. ”I have already given your pills to my race members, and I have also discussed my decision with them. They want to meet you, so I hope you can make time to meet them.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately agreed to that. ”After Li Tiannan removes his Gu insect from Old Xingʼs body, we will go directly to your raceʼs residence to meet them.”

”Thank you.”

”Itʼs just a trivial matter, so you donʼt need to thank me.”

Sometime later, Li Tiannan pulled his Gu insect out of Ju Xingʼs body and informed Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Master, the insect is too strong for my insect, so I canʼt remove it from this seniorʼs body. My father or grandfather should be able to do it, but they are living in the Grand Royal Realm now, and they are helping the Huangfu Kingdom to deal with the attack from the Qiang Kingdom.”

”Oh?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] was shocked to hear that, and he immediately contacted his two slaves to confirm the situation in that realm. ”The situation is really dire, huh? The Qiang Kingdom has already taken over a third of the Huangfu Kingdomʼs territory, and they are continuously pushing the troops from that kingdom back.”

”Yes.” Li Tiannan nodded at him. ”Actually, my father asked me to return to our realm, but I refused his request because I still have to complete the Gu heart for you.”

”You donʼt need to think about them and focus on the Gu heart because one of my clones is on his way to that realm, and he will arrive in a few days. Besides, Leng Hua also sent Leng Xueyan there to help the Huangfu Kingdom, and she is much stronger than everyone in that realm, so the situation will definitely be under control.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] directly sent Li Tiannan back to the Nine Stars Realm before speaking to Ju Xing. ”Old Xing, just be patient for a few more days; I will definitely cure you by then.”

”All right, I will wait for you.”

After that, they immediately left the place and sealed the area again, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] followed Ju Tan to meet the other members of the giant race.

”Senior Xishui, please stop flying.”

Feng Xishui immediately stopped and asked Zhang Fei [5], who was sitting casually on his back. ”What is it?”

”We wonʼt go to the Shandian Realm now, and weʼll go to the Grand Royal Realm first.” Seeing Zhang Fei [5] take out Feng Jiuʼs flying artifact, Feng Xishui immediately returned to his human form, and the two of them flew away from that location. ”I need someone from that realm to heal my new friend, but that person is helping the Huangfu Kingdom, which is at war with the Qiang Kingdom. If that person dies, it will be difficult for me to save him, so we must arrive at that realm as soon as possible.”

Feng Xishui nodded in understanding. ”If you burn enough purple jewels, we can arrive at the Grand Royal Realm in three days.”

”How much do I need to speed it up?” Zhang Fei [5] had never used Feng Jiuʼs flying artifact because he felt it was a waste to use his jewels, and Feng Xishuiʼs speed was much faster than the normal speed of the flying artifact.

”A million at least.”

Zhang Fei [5] let out a heavy sigh before taking out that many purple jewels, and he hurriedly inserted them into the source of the flying artifact, causing its speed to increase significantly.

”Are you going to get involved in their war?”

”No.” Zhang Fei [5] shook his head at Feng Xishui and looked into the distance. ”I donʼt care if the Huangfu Kingdom is destroyed, but I canʼt let the people of the Li Clan die, especially since the one who can help me is from that clan. Moreover, someone from the Sovereign Heaven Realm is heading to that realm right now, and she is more than enough to save that kingdom. However, I have plans to find suitable locations in all those kingdoms to open my shops, but I donʼt have the right people to manage them yet.”

”Didnʼt one of your slaves come from that clan? Why donʼt you bring him back to his realm?”

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei [5] thought for a moment. ”You are right, I will bring Li Tiannan and Gu Jinling to that realm, and they should be able to create the Gu heart faster. However, I have to make sure the situation in the Huangfu Kingdom is calm first, or the other kingdoms will disturb them.”

Feng Xishui patted his shoulder. ”The only way to prevent that is to show your strength, and those people will definitely think twice about disturbing them.”

”Yeah, you are right. Letʼs wait until we get there first.”
