Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1129: Three Dragons

The Eternal Spring Oasis is a lush, verdant area located deep in a barren desert. The oasis is fed by an underground spring that never runs dry, regardless of season or climate. The water is clear, slightly warm, and rich in celestial Qi. Surrounding the central pond are tall palm-like trees, medicinal herbs, and fruit-bearing plants that grow in abundance. The air here is fresh and slightly humid, a stark contrast to the harsh environment outside. Small spiritual beasts and birds often gather here, making it both a natural resource hub and a strategic resting place for travelers. However, its constant abundance attracts unwanted attention from wandering cultivators.

”This place is gorgeous, despite its location in such an unremarkable area.” Feng Yao nodded in agreement to Zhang Fei [5], who then pointed at the oasis. ”I detected several things from the bottom.”

Feng Yao used her senses to examine the bottom, where she found several types of valuable materials. ”Water Heart Alloy, Deep Spring Copper, Rippling Water Silver, and many other precious materials.”

”All of them are rare forging materials,” Zhang Fei [5] muttered with a look of excitement. ”Do you think those evil beasts are targeting this place because of those materials?”

”I’m not sure, but I won’t let them get these materials.” Feng Yao then took out a talisman and threw it directly above the oasis, causing a thick mist to cover the entire area from outside to inside. ”You can enter this domain through your gate whenever you want, right?”

”Yes.”

Feng Yao nodded slightly. ”If that’s the case, we should go back now, and my talisman will prevent them from coming in here. When the situation calms down, you can come back here to get these materials.”

A while later, they returned to the temple, and they saw many other human cultivators starting to arrive. However, Huo Ling wouldn’t let them in, especially since most of them had no connection to Zhang Fei [5].

The ancestors of the Fan, Ru, Zhi, Chen, Qin, and Jiang main clans of the Empyrean Main Domain immediately recognized Zhang Fei [5]. They wanted to talk to him, but Gong Wei and Lu Shaqing went ahead of them.

”Hahaha! We meet again, young man.” Gong Wei spoke as he laughed.

Lu Shaqing then asked. ”Are they your entourage?”

”We meet again, Senior Gong.” Zhang Fei [5] then answered Lu Shaqing. ”Only a few of them are my acquaintances, Senior Lu. As for the members of my entourage, they are inside the temple right now, including my father-in-law. The two of you can go in there if you want to meet him, but the disciples of your two sects can’t go there.”

”Who created this barrier?” Gong Wei asked.

”Her.” Zhang Fei [5] pointed to Huo Ling, who was sitting leisurely on the rooftop, watching the people outside her flame barrier. Some of them tried to break in, but their strength was simply too weak compared to hers, preventing them from doing so. ”Don’t approach or disturb her, or she’ll beat you both up.”

Gong Wei and Lu Shaqing looked at Huo Ling, but a cold and murderous gaze greeted them, causing their necks to shrink. ”We want to meet Sect Master Luo, but the situation doesn’t seem possible, so we’ll wait here.”

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei [5] nodded to them and then turned his attention to the people from the Empyrean Main Domain, who were staring at him in shock and confusion due to his current cultivation level. After all, they were present at his wedding with Luo Yunxiao, and his cultivation was still at the 1-Moon Divine Expansion at that time, but he had already broken through to the 1-Sun Celestial Lord Realm now.

Zhang Fei [5] was not interested in them, but the presence of a group of women in black sparked his interest. He knew that they were members of the Hidden Moon Sect, mainly because of the smell of blood on their bodies. However, he had no intention of meeting them, and he immediately went into the temple.

The people from the Empyrean Main Domain were quite annoyed that Zhang Fei [5] didn’t greet them, but they didn’t say anything because they could feel Huo Ling’s cold gaze. Fan Ning then asked Gong Wei and Lu Shaqing. ”Do you two know that kid?”

”Senior Fan, we don’t really know him, and we’ve only met him once when he broke through to the Five Celestial Realms in the Moon Illusion Domain a few days ago.” Lu Shaqing was the first to answer him.

Gong Wei then told him. ”Senior Fan, his breakthrough is truly terrifying and breathtaking, and he summoned lightning of nine different colors.”

”Nine different colors?” Fan Ning, Ru Yan, Zhi Yuan, Chen Qi, Qin Wuzhang, and Jiang Yuhei were shocked to hear that, especially since all the cultivators only knew lightning had seven colors.

Gong Wei touched their foreheads in turn and shared his memories of Zhang Fei’s breakthrough. ”You guys can see for yourselves.”

While they were watching Gong Wei’s memories, a woman dressed in black approached him. ”Please share it with me too, Sect Master Gong.”

The woman has a smooth face, fair skin, and straight black hair tied in a high ponytail. Her eyes were narrow, with subtle makeup emphasizing their shape. Her lips were full and lightly tinted. Her figure was tall and curvy, with a narrow waist and pronounced hips. Her breasts were large and accentuated by a form-fitting black leather outfit, featuring a deep neckline and a high slit on one side, revealing much of her thigh.

”Hahaha.” Gong Wei laughed at her request. ”It’s rare for you to feel attracted to a man, Vice Sect Master Yin Chang.”

”You’re wrong about that; I have no interest in him.” Yin Chang shook her head to deny it. ”You guys are too focused on his age and cultivation, but I’m different from you, and I can smell the strong scent of blood from his body, indicating that he has killed countless people in the past. Otherwise, the heavens wouldn’t be eager to kill him, right?”

Gong Wei and Lu Shaqing nodded in agreement with that, and he shared his memories with Yun Chang, who immediately closed her eyes and watched everything.

Before long, Yin Chang opened his eyes. ”Thank you, Sect Master Gong.”

Yin Chang immediately returned to her group without saying anything else, which made Gong Wei laugh wryly at her demeanor. He and Lu Shaqing immediately left the people from the Empyrean Main Domain and returned to the members of their two sects.

In the Divine Samsara Sect, Liang Huizhong was standing with three other men. The first man looked very young, appearing more like a teenage boy with waist-length golden hair and golden eyes. The second man had a stark contrast with his shoulder-length gray hair, and his eyes were also gray; he was wearing a simple black outfit.

Meanwhile, the third man has long white hair, and he has a youthful appearance, like the first man. He wore a simple, plain white outfit.

”Is it true that demons from the nine races are in there, Golden Dragon Emperor?”

Long Wuzhao nodded to Liang Huizhong. ”Previously, Tianshi Shengjie asked Long Youjia to send a message to Brother Xukong, and he informed us that the nine demon races were inside there. According to them, the mastermind behind this seal was the Celestial Demon Race, but they had not received definite information about the purpose of the demons.”

”What are we going to do now? Are you going to destroy this barrier? If those demons attack them, there will definitely be many casualties.”

”Why should we bother destroying it?” Long Wuzhao looked at Long Xukong. ”Bring us there.”

”Alright.” Long Xukong sliced through the air, but nothing happened. ”How is this possible? Why can’t I open the void leading inside?”

Long Wuzhao frowned before touching the portal. ”Apparently, those demons have reinforced the seal after your son sent a message to you, and they added a new seal to prevent us from entering.”

”Shall we go to the other portals, Brother Wuzhao?” The white-haired man asked.

Long Wuzhao nodded at him. ”I have a bad feeling about this event, so we have to go to the other portals, Tianshi Bailong.”

Long Wuzhao first handed a device to Liang Huizhong, and he immediately left with the other two afterward. ”Has Empress Huo Yanling truly returned, Brother Wuzhao?”

”Are you impatient to spar with her again, Bailong?” Long Wuzhao asked back.

”Hahaha.” Tianshi Bailong laughed at that. ”Empress Huo is the only cultivator who can keep me bedridden for half a year. Although I’ve always feared her strength, I always look forward to sparring with her again.”

”Not only you, but I also want to spar with her again,” Long Xukong spoke with a burning gaze. ”Even though I was the void dragon, she rendered my void abilities useless, as if she had better control of the void element than I did. Unfortunately, she suddenly decided to reincarnate, and I’ve always wondered about the reason behind her decision.”

Long Wuzhao shook his head. ”I myself couldn’t understand her decision back then, but I’ve gotten some clues about it. If my guess is correct, she did it to find the heir of the ten-tailed fox, and she’s managed to find him.”

”Zhang Fei.”

”That’s right.” Long Wuzhao turned towards the Divine Samsara Sect behind them. ”That kid should be in the Forbidden Land now, and we will meet him soon.”
