Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1200: Sixth Area: Garden

After conveying a few things to Zhang Xiaolong [3], the four souls disappeared from that place, and he instructed the others to send all the treasures to the training space.

”Haha.” Murong Qianying laughed at that. ”Husband, the people who enter this place after us will be disappointed, as they won’t be able to find any treasures.”

Nalan Wangzi agreed with her. ”This kind of thing has never happened before, and they would usually leave the sealed chests for future expeditions if they couldn’t open them this time, but we looted all of them today.”

”So, where are we going now?”

Ye Futian spoke straight away. ”Since Zhang Fei has sent his other clones to other places, and those evil beasts are also being aggressive, I think we should avoid them and go to the safest place.”

”Let’s go out first, and I’ll send you all to the labyrinth after.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the gate.

As soon as they arrived outside, Zhang Xiaolong [3] sent them all to the labyrinth, and they arrived at the same time as Zhang Fei [1]’s group, who were previously in the Endless Night Sanctum.

Ye Futian, Jian Kuang, and Su Shentian led them into the labyrinth to join Zhang Fei [5]’s group, who were already waiting for them inside. However, Zhang Fei [1] and Zhang Xiaolong [3] did not join them; Instead, they went to other places while monitoring the situation in the dungeon.

Feltia [2] was enjoying himself in the Endless Night Garden, where various types of ordinary herbs to extremely rare herbs grow abundantly. Janette, Lillea, and Shi Wu helped him to duplicate various types of herbs there because it was much easier than having to harvest them.

”Hmm?” Feltia [2] suddenly detected quite a few people moving toward their location. He checked their identities on the map, finding several familiar names there, like Jin Nanqing and his two disciples.

Feltia [2] raised an eyebrow when she saw the names of the Jiao Clan members moving with them. He wasn’t too worried about the people from that clan, but he was worried about the other people in their group, especially since they were from the Fairy Race.

Feltia [2] gathered the three women, led them to the tree not far from them, took them into an invisible state, and used her illusion manipulation ability.

”Who came here, husband?” Feltia [2] informed Lillea and the two women about the identities of those people. ”Those humans probably won’t be able to see through your invisibility, but we have to be careful of members of the Fairy Race.”

Feltia [2] nodded in agreement to her. ”If they manage to see through my invisibility, I will take you guys away. With my teleport ability and Nine Cloud Steps, they won’t be able to catch up to us.”

”Yes.”

Janette then asked him. ”Will your ability to manipulate illusions work on them? There are still many extremely rare herbs here; it would be a shame if we couldn’t duplicate them all. We can come back later, but I’m afraid they’ll harvest them clean.”

”My illusion will affect those humans, but I doubt it will affect the members of the Fairy Race. Let’s wait for them to arrive first, and we will know the results soon.” Feltia [2] didn’t see Jia Lingzhu and Jia Shengyun in Jin Nanqing’s entourage; he immediately searched for Jia Yuyan’s grandparents to ensure their safety. He found them among Tianshi Shengjie’s entourage, who had already begun moving toward the Labyrinth as per his instructions. ’As long as she and Long Youjia were with them, the evil beasts wouldn’t dare to attack either of them, let alone those demons. However, I’m confused as to how the two of them managed to separate from the Fairy Race’s entourage and join the beast races instead.’

Then, Feltia [2] searched for the whereabouts of Luo Fenghan’s group; he found them repeatedly going in and out of the void, relying on Bing Xingying’s ability to go to the labyrinth. The people of the Empyrean Domain got separated from them, but he didn’t care much about them because they didn’t have a favorable relationship, and they tried to extort him in the Forbidden Land back then.

Since Feltia [2] couldn’t find some people in Luo Fenghan’s group, he searched for them using the map. He found that Beiming Youhuang, Hua Mei’er, Hua Xiang’er, and Helian Xun’er were in the same group heading to another place without any major obstacles.

Feltia [2] also found Feng Shizhu and Feng Bingying leading the members of the Ice Phoenix race to the furthest part of the dungeon, but no evil beasts or demons dared to approach their group because their ice element was too deadly.

After waiting for some time, Jin Nanqing and his group arrived at the garden, but they were not in good condition. Some of them, especially the Jiao Clan members, sustained severe injuries. The members of the Fairy Race also suffered many injuries, but their injuries were not life-threatening.

”Master, I think this place is safe for our members to rest.” Xuan Yun spoke to Jin Nanqing while checking the condition of their sect members.

Luo Lianjin crouched beside one of the disciples, who had lost his left arm. ”This kid’s condition is awful, Master. He will die if we insist on exploring this domain any longer, and the others’ injuries will also get worse because of it.”

”Sigh.” Jin Nanqing released a heavy sigh. ”All this happened because of the appearance of that Man-Eating Beast, Yayu. Fortunately, we met Elder Jia Shengyun and the others; otherwise, we would have died at the hands of that beast and his subordinates.”

”Where did you last meet Jia Shengyun?” A male fairy asked.

Jin Nanqing pointed in a certain direction. ”Elder Jia Fenglie, we fell in the Endless Night Colosseum before. We met him and Elder Jia Lingzhu after we left that place. They didn’t join us; instead, they were chasing the Three-Eyed Demon Ape, Zhuyan.”

”They had a grudge against Zhuyan because he killed their second son, so it’s no surprise they immediately went after him.” Jia Fenglie then turned to the garden. ”This place is safe for now, but we can’t stay here long because there’s no shelter here. Since the three of you are alchemists, you guys should move quickly to look for the herbs you need, and we will leave this place after they have rested enough.”

Jin Nanqing nodded at him. ”Lianjin and Xun, you two take care of our disciples first, while I look for the herbs that we need to concoct the Supreme Ascension Pill. Once I find them, we’ll go straight to the labyrinth to join Yu Shan and the others, and we’ll try to reach the castle.”

”Yes, Master.”

”I will join you, Elder Jin.” Jiao Suyin spoke, following behind Jin Nanqing.

Seeing that Jia Fenglie and the members of the Fairy Race did not enter the garden area, Feltia [2] deactivated his illusion manipulation ability. He then took the three women to follow Jiao Suyin because she and her Jiao Clan had already had malicious plans against him since in the Divine Samsara Sect, and Jiao Huanfeng even plotted something against him.

”Are you going to do something to this woman, master?” Shi Wu curiously asked.

”Hehe.” Janette giggled. ”Wu’er, you don’t need to ask that, right? The Jiao Clan has had ill intentions toward our husband, and this is a good opportunity since this woman is alone.”

”Uhm.” Shi Wu nodded slightly.

Lillea then asked. ”Do you want me to help you, husband? If you use your power, this woman and the members of the Fairy Race might notice your actions.”

”No need.” Feltia [2] rejected her. ”I won’t do anything excessive to this woman, and I will only use my dream lordship ability on her. This way, I can do something to her from afar, just like what I did to Leng Xueyan back then.”

Lillea nodded in understanding, but she still created an object that directly attached itself to Jiao Suyin’s body. ’Hehe! Her clan members will suffer quite a bit once it activates.’

Jiao Suyin stopped walking as soon as she felt Feltia [2]’s touch on her back, but not all cultivators had the ability to see through his invisibility, so she couldn’t find anyone behind her, confusing her.

”What happened, Elder Jiao?” Jin Nanqing asked her.

”Nothing.” Jiao Suyin shook her head slightly. ”Let’s move faster, Elder Jin. If those beasts and demons find us here, our members will suffer even more.”

Feltia [2] was eager to do something against the members of the Fairy Race, but he was worried that Jia Fenglie would notice his actions, so he abandoned his intention.

Jin Nanqing and Jiao Suyin spent an hour searching for the herbs they needed, and their group left the garden as soon as they had gathered them all.

Feltia [2] wanted to take the three women back to the garden to continue their previous activities, but a mythical evil beast suddenly appeared there along with several other evil beasts, forcing him to stop. ”The Demonic Wind Beast, Fei Lian.”

Fei Lian was a mythical beast born from the chaos of storm. Its form was vast and ferocious, resembling a predator with the body of a massive deer-like beast, clawed feet, and a long tail that whips. Its head carried the visage of a fierce beast with piercing eyes, and its body was wreathed in black-green winds.
