The notifications appeared as soon as Zhang Fei [5] left the training space, but he immediately entered his soul world to help Yin Yue and Tian Taiyang recover their soul power.

Zhang Fei [5] was amazed by the changes in his soul world because Jia Xianzu and Beiming Youhuang had worked so hard to help him improve it, but he quickly ignored it and went to see Yin Yue and Tian Taiyang, where he helped them recover their soul power.

Yin Ling, the spirit of the Moon Flame, hovered by their side. She was satisfied that her master’s soul was getting stronger every day, especially after Zhang Fei [5] helped her improve her soul power for half a year.

If Zhang Fei [5] continued to help Yin Yue, Yin Ling was confident that her master’s soul would become truly powerful, and she could reshape her body soon.

After thinking about it for a while, Yin Ling went to the location of the Moon Flame and took a fragment of it. She brought it back to their place and shot the fragment into Zhang Fei [5]’s body, which allowed him to gain the power of the fire.

[The host obtained the Moon Flame. Fire count: 8.]

[The host’s fire strength has increased by 800%.]

===

Zhang Fei [5] was taken aback for a moment by the appearance of the notification, but then he smiled happily because his collection of Ten Heavenly Flames was only two short, the Sun Flame and the Chaos Flame.

Zhang Fei [5] knew the location of the Sun Flame, but he still had to help Tian Taiyang reshape his body, especially since he could bring him to the Zenith Solar Sanctum without having to wait for the portal to open for a thousand years.

As for the Chaos Flame, Zhang Fei [5] had no information on its whereabouts, but he was certain Feng Yao knew something about it and its location. He was confident she could take him there, but he needed the Sun Flame before he could retrieve the Chaos Flame.

Zhang Fei [5] immediately ignored that, and he completely focused on helping Yin Yue and Tian Taiyang to recover their souls.

Yin Ling floated beside them, observing Zhang Fei [5]. No one knew what was going through her mind because it was impossible to guess her thoughts. She smiled faintly, thinking about something, and her smile widened as she made up her mind about him.

Meanwhile, Hun Lingwu had just arrived at the Stygian Dusk Domain, and he immediately flew to the palace in the domain to meet someone.

When Hun Lingwu arrived there, no one dared to take his place, and they seemed afraid of him, causing him to snort coldly.

Hun Lingwu immediately entered the place and made his way to the main room, where Linghu Minghua was concentrating on healing from his injuries.

”Hmm?” Linghu Minghua immediately opened his eyes and asked him. ”What brings you to my place, old man?”

Hun Lingwu asked him back. ”When did you get injured? Who injured you? How serious was your injury?”

”Sigh.” Linghu Minghua sighed heavily. ”The person who injured me was Jia Xianzu, and I sustained my injury half a year ago, from which I haven’t fully recovered to this day.”

Hun Lingwu raised an eyebrow, as he knew the name. ”Didn’t Jia Xianzu disappear long ago? How could he suddenly reappear?”

”You’re wrong about that, and he never disappeared.” Hun Lingwu raised an eyebrow at Linghu Minghua, prompting him to tell the truth. ”At that time, I chased Huang Xiaoyi to the Falling Star Domain, but I encountered Jia Xianzu there. He never disappeared, and he was hiding inside that tower using another identity for so many years, Wan Jiang. While I was waiting for her to come out of that tower with Xing Haoran, he attacked both of us, and he injured me seriously.”

”Then?”

Linghu Minghua let out a heavy sigh. ”I managed to escape from Jia Xianzu back then, but he managed to capture Xing Haoran, and the Xing Clan is now in ruins after Long Wuzhao attacked them.”

”Hmm?” Hun Lingwu didn’t immediately believe Linghu Minghua, and he contacted his acquaintances in the Falling Star Domain, asking them about the Xing Clan. They informed him that Long Wuzhao had destroyed the clan, a revelation that completely shocked him. ”Do you know the person who was with Huang Xiaoyi at that time?”

Linghu Minghua nodded at him. ”According to Xing Haoran’s story, Zhang Fei caused a commotion in the Moon Illusion Domain during his breakthrough to the Five Celestial Realm, and many people witnessed the phenomenon on that day. Still, according to his story, he joined the Moonlit Passion Temple and became an elder of that sect. Additionally, I received information that he is the son-in-law of the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary, especially after he married Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi’s sole daughter.”

”Hmm.” Hun Lingwu frowned and took out some pills, handing them to Linghu Minghua. However, he didn’t mention Zhang Fei’s relationship with Feng Yao. ”For now, I want you to recover from your injuries immediately, and you must help me capture that brat no matter what, especially since he stole something from me.”

”Haha.” Linghu Minghua immediately accepted the pills and swallowed them. ”Although your pills are very effective, I still need time to recover from my injuries. At the very least, I need a month to fully recover, and I will immediately attack that sect once I recover.”

”Good.” Hun Lingwu left the place to search for other people, especially since he doubted that Linghu Minghua was capable of carrying out his task.

”Hahaha.” Linghu Minghua laughed loudly. ”Huang Xiaoyi and Luo Fenghan, I will destroy you both after I recover, and you will both end up miserable in my hands.”

Hun Lingwu didn’t leave the domain immediately, instead going to another palace to meet someone. Just like at Linghu Minghua’s palace, no one dared to stop him, and he casually walked inside.

Hun Lingwu soon reached the throne room, where a young woman lay on an array of spiderwebs.

”Hmm? What brings you to my palace, Hun Lingwu?” The young woman asked him.

The woman has a mature and serious face. Her eyes were almond-shaped, with a pierced purple-pink gaze. Her eyebrows were slim and delicately arched. Her nose was narrow. Her lips were full but naturally shaped. Her lavender hair was long and straight, flowing well past her waist. She has a tall, slender, and delicate figure, with black tattoos running down her arms. She wore a sleek, form-fitting black dress. Her sleeveless dress highlighted her neckline and shoulders, and the lower part of her dress formed a long, flowing skirt.

”Xuan Meiyun, I need you to capture someone for me, especially since he has stolen something important from me. After you successfully capture him, you can use him for your cultivation furnace, and I will not stop you.” The woman raised an eyebrow at Hun Lingwu, who immediately created qi screens, showing Zhang Fei’s image.

Xuan Meiyun’s expression immediately changed, and she stared at Zhang Fei’s image while licking her lips. ”What is that man’s name? Which sect is he from?”

”His name is Zhang Fei, and he is an elder of the Moonlit Passion Sect.” Xuan Meiyun raised an eyebrow at Hun Lingwu. ”Someone is watching me closely, so I can’t do it myself. I don’t need him, and I just need my artifact back. That’s why I came here to ask for your help, and you can have him after you capture him.”

”Haha.” Xuan Meiyun laughed at that. ”Zhang Fei is indeed handsome, and I am happy to have him. However, I will not help you for free, and you must compensate me with your pills, especially the ones to help my subordinates break through.”

Hun Lingwu gritted his teeth in annoyance, but he immediately took out several bottles of pills and showed them to the woman. ”I’ll give you these pills after you successfully capture him, and you can use them to help your subordinates break through.”

”Fine with me.” Xuan Meiyun nodded in agreement. ”Once I successfully capture him, I’ll send one of my subordinates to inform you. At that time, you can come to my palace again and bring the pills, and I’ll trade him for them.”

”Sure.” After that, Hun Lingwu immediately left the palace, and he returned to his domain.

”Ning Huayin.”

”I’m here.” The young female demon appeared.

”You’ve heard the old man’s words, right?” Ning Huayin nodded at Xuan Meiyun. ”I want you to go to the Moonlit Passion Sect and find out information about Zhang Fei. You can report everything to me, so I can think of a way to capture him.”

”Yes.” Ning Huayin immediately left the palace and went to the Moonlit Passion Sect.

Xuan Meiyun climbed down from the spiderweb and sat on her throne. ”Zhang Fei is definitely no ordinary man; otherwise, Hun Lingwu would have captured him himself. That old man is truly cunning, and he doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice others to achieve his goals, so I must be careful in my actions regarding this matter.”
