Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 994: The Grand Royal Realm

Zhang Fei [5] and Feng Xishui had already arrived at the outer periphery of the Grand Royal Realm, and he immediately flew Feng Jiu’s flying artifact into the realm.

However, Zhang Fei [5] saw another artifact entering the realm at high speed, and he smiled faintly after recognizing its owner.

”Do you know the owner of that flying artifact?”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded. ”The owner is Leng Xueyan from the Sovereign Heaven Realm, and she came specifically to help the Huangfu Kingdom.”

”How could that small kingdom have any relationship with people from that realm?” Zhang Fei [5] directly told Feng Xishui about the relationship between the Huangfu and the Leng Clans. ”The two of them have a relationship with each other, and both of them are also your enemies.”

”Haha! What an unusual coincidence, right?” Zhang Fei [5] then opened the gate leading to the Nine Stars Realm, picked up Li Tiannan, and brought him to the flying artifact. ”Show us the way to your clan.”

”Master, they should be at the Hungfu Royal Palace now, so we should go there to meet them.” Li Tiannan then pointed toward the Huangfu Kingdom. ”Over there, master.”

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei [5] immediately flew the flying artifact into the Grand Royal Realm to reach that kingdom.

In a few minutes, they were already above the airspace of the Huangfu Kingdom, but most of the outer areas of the kingdom were severely damaged by the attacks of the Qiang Kingdom, and black smoke was rising from all of those areas.

They could see the troops from the Qiang Kingdom slaughtering the citizens of the Huangfu Kingdom, both troops and ordinary citizens. Many of them also did heinous things, such as forcibly violating the women of the kingdom and many other heinous things.

Zhang Fei [5]’s face darkened after witnessing the barbaric actions of the Qiang Kingdom troops, and he immediately activated the soul link to borrow the power of all the beasts in his beast space. He then activated his light element and created countless thin light arrows.

”I don’t like to meddle in other people’s business, but these animal soldiers are disgusting and infuriating me. They shouldn’t do such things to helpless women and girls like that.” After he said that, Zhang Fei [5] launched those light arrows downwards, heading straight for most of the troops of the Qiang Kingdom at high speed.

In a few minutes, those light arrows penetrated the heads of tens of thousands of Qiang Kingdom troops, especially those who did heinous things, and killed them, causing panic among the remaining troops.

The Qiang Kingdom’s remaining troops immediately scattered and abandoned their posts, as they were afraid that the unknown attacker would kill them as well.

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei [5] raised an eyebrow as soon as he saw two men dressed as generals flying towards him, but he did not think much of them and let them come.

The two people immediately recognized Li Tiannan as a member of the Li Clan from the Huangfu Kingdom, but they could not recognize Zhang Fei [5] and Feng Xishui. However, they guessed that the two were not ordinary people, especially with the luxury of Feng Jiu’s flying artifact.

”Hey—”

”Stop it.” One of the male generals stopped his friend after he realized Zhang Fei [5]’s strength. He then cupped his hands to him. ”My name is Qiang Yun from the Qiang Kingdom. May I ask your name? Why did you kill so many of our troops?”

”Is your mentality that corrupt?” Zhang Fei [5] coldly asked, making Qiang Yun and the others frown. ”My identity is not important, and I’m not on any side. I don’t care about your war with the Huangfu Kingdom, and I came to this realm only to look for someone. However, I truly despised the behavior of your soldiers, who forcefully violated those defenseless girls and women. You guys were their leaders, but you allowed them to commit such heinous acts.”

”Wait—” Qiang Yun had no time to say anything when his and his friend’s heads flew off, separated from their bodies, and their blood sprayed upwards.

”Your speed is getting more and more terrifying.” Feng Xishui shook his head as he spoke. ”What kind of technique did you use to behead them just now?”

”I didn’t use any techniques, and I only used my sword will.” Since he wasn’t a swordmaster, Feng Xishui didn’t know anything about it, so Zhang Fei [5] directly demonstrated his sword Qi, sword intent, and sword will to him. ”You may not be able to see my sword will, but it’s all around us now, and I can control it with ease.”

”Oh.” Feng Xishui nodded slightly. ”Who taught you swordsmanship? As far as I can remember, you’ve never fought using sword techniques before, and you usually use closed-range or long-range attacks.

”I was fortunate to meet my master in the Sovereign Heaven Realm, and I think he is the best sword expert in the Three Mortal Realms.” Thereafter, Zhang Fei [5] searched for an empty place and landed there, and he brought the other two to the Huangfu Royal Palace using his nine cloud steps, especially since Feng Jiu’s flying artifact attracted too much attention.

When they arrived there, Zhang Fei [5] found that Leng Xueyan had also just arrived, but she did not go there through the front door; instead, she landed her flying artifact above the Huangfu Royal Palace, similar to the one in the Nine Stars Realm.

”Lead us inside.”

”Follow me, master.” Since his Li Clan was one of the Huangfu Emperor’s confidants, it was not difficult for Li Tiannan to bring Zhang Fei [5] and Feng Xishui into the royal palace. He immediately took the two of them to the meeting, especially since members of his clan were there along with members of the other clans.

When they arrived at the throne room, Zhang Fei [5] saw Huangfu Emperor standing opposite Leng Xueyan, who explained her identity and purpose of coming.

Meanwhile, people from all clans lined up neatly below, wondering about her after they could not detect her cultivation, and their emperor also looked very respectful to her.

’Master, they are my clan members.’ Li Tiannan whispered as he pointed at the crowd of members of the Li Clan. ”The old man is my grandfather, Li Qinghao, and the one beside him is my father, Li Baishan.”

Zhang Fei [5] immediately examined the two people, finding that Li Qinghao’s cultivation was at the 3-Moon Divine Transformation Realm and Li Baishan’s cultivation was at the 1-Moon Divine Transformation Realm. Meanwhile, the Huangfu Emperor’s cultivation was at the 1-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm, which meant he was no less powerful than the late Shang Huaqiang. ’I don’t want to waste my time here, so you should go there now and inform them about our arrival.’

’Yes, Master.’ As Li Tiannan approached his clan members, Zhang Fei [5] and Feng Xishui waited at the back of the line.

Leng Xueyan, who noticed the two’s presence, immediately turned to them. She was shocked when she saw Zhang Fei [5], mainly because of his perfect resemblance to Zhang Xiaolong [3], which caused her to misunderstand. ’How could this be? Why did he follow me to this realm? Shouldn’t he live in my realm?’

”What happened, Miss Xueyan?” Huangfu Emperor then looked at Zhang Fei [5] and Feng Xishui before raising his eyebrows, especially since he did not recognize them, making him think that they were spies from the Qiang Kingdom. ”Capture those two spies!”

Upon hearing the command, the members of all the clans finally noticed Zhang Fei [5] and Feng Xishui’s presence, prompting them to immediately move to capture the two.

”Stop!” Li Tiannan immediately shouted. ”Emperor, they are not spies, and I brought them here.”

The Huangfu Emperor immediately turned to Li Tiannan. ”Why did you bring two unknown people into my palace?”

”I—”

”Wait! I know one of them.” The Huangfu Emperor returned his attention to Leng Xueyan. ”His name is Zhang Xiaolong, and he is a resident of my realm, but I didn’t expect him to be here now.”

Zhang Fei [5] immediately spoke to her. ”Miss, my name is not Zhang Xiaolong but Zhang Fei, and you have mistaken me for my twin brother.”

”Huh?” Leng Xueyan was momentarily stunned before flying toward Zhang Fei [5] and landing right in front of him. ”Are you really not Zhang Xiaolong? How can the two of you have such perfectly identical faces?”

Zhang Fei [5] shrugged his shoulders. ”Zhang Xiaolong is my twin brother, so it’s natural that we have the same face, right? Actually, he already told me about the Sovereign Heaven Realm, and he invited me to join him. However, I’m not interested in going there yet, and I’m more interested in exploring the universe with my cultivation brother, Feng Xishui.”

”Hmm?” Leng Xueyan turned to Feng Xishui, who simply nodded at her. ”Then, what is your business in coming to this realm? Did your twin brother ask you to follow me here?”

”Eh?” Zhang Fei [5] pretended to be surprised before laughing. ”Hahaha! Miss, do you realize how ridiculous your question is? I came to this realm not for you, but I needed help from the Li Clan, so Li Tiannan brought me here. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him directly.”

”Miss, I did bring him to this realm because he needed my clan’s help, and since my family is in this palace, I brought him here.” Li Tiannan explained to Leng Xueyan.

Even so, Leng Xueyan felt doubtful about that because Zhang Fei [5] and Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s faces were too identical as twins. Moreover, their cultivation was also at the same level, and he also detected a lot of Yin Qi in her body.

Just as the people were confused about Zhang Fei [5], a general suddenly ran into the throne room and rushed forward. He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect toward the Huangfu Emperor. ”Emperor, I just got information from our spies on the front lines that tens of thousands of the Qiang Kingdom’s soldiers suddenly died without any clear cause. Qiang Yun and another general also died, forcing the troops under them to flee from our kingdom’s territory.”

Hearing that, the Huangfu Emperor and everyone present looked at Zhang Fei [5] because the incident coincided with his arrival, but they became doubtful about it after detecting that his cultivation was only at the 1-Moon Divine Transcend Realm, and Feng Xishui’s cultivation was also insufficient to accomplish such a great thing in a short time.

Zhang Fei [5] didn’t say anything; instead, he spoke to Li Tiannan. ”Brother Xishui and I will go to the inn now, and you can bring your family to meet us there later.”

”Yes.” Li Tiannan replied with a nod, confusing his clan members. ”Grandfather! Father! I will explain everything to you two later.”

”All right.”

Leng Xueyan stared at the exit for quite some time, as she could not believe that Zhang Fei [5] and Zhang Xiaolong [3] were different people. ’Sigh! I will settle the matters here first, and I will go see him after.’

After that, Leng Xueyan returned to the Huangfu Emperor’s side and listened to the reports from everyone present there, especially the general who was overseeing the front line.
