Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1624: Meet Ancient Leiyu Tianlu

[Master, why don’t you try asking Feng Yao about other paths to the Ancient Realm? She is the embodiment of the core of this universe, so she should know many paths to that place.]

”Do you still not understand me, Mei?”

[Master, I know, but—]

”I won’t rely on her, and I will find my own way to the Ancient Realm.”

Mei sighed to herself because she was so familiar with her master’s character, and Feng Yao’s lies dealt a blow to him.

”Anyways, I need you to scout out all the areas in this domain, Mei. Since people from the Ancient Realm can descend into this domain, I’m sure there’s a hidden portal that can take me there, so I need you to find it.”

[I’ll do it now, Master.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] wanted to fly towards the main city, but he suddenly saw Ancient Leiyu Tianlu descend from the sky and fly hurriedly towards it.

”Did something happen there? Why is that ancient beast in such a hurry? Moreover, he came alone without his master.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] used his Nine Cloud Steps to go to the main city.

When Zhang Xiaolong [3] arrived at the main city, Ancient Leiyu Tianlu had already landed there with his body covered in wounds. He saw that the people from the Xuanyuan Clan had already gathered there to check on the male beast.

Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s sudden arrival surprised Ancient Leiyu Tianlu and the people from the Xuanyuan Clan. He approached the male beast and gave him some pills. ”Swallow these pills so your injuries can heal quickly, and you can tell me what happened at the Puyang Clan afterward.”

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu nodded and immediately swallowed the pills in Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s hands.

”I didn’t expect your cultivation to have reached the Celestial Emperor Realm, young man,” Xuanyuan Zhuanxu said.

Xuanyuan Shun also spoke to him. ”The last time we met was six and a half years ago, and your cultivation was still at the Celestial Lord Realm, yet you managed to reach this stage in such a short time.”

Six years may seem long to ordinary mortals or low-level cultivators, but it was truly a short time for cultivators at their level, and no one could break through as quickly as Zhang Xiaolong [3].

”I am a dual cultivator with hundreds of women by my side, and I used several other methods to increase my cultivation; otherwise, I wouldn’t have managed to reach this stage so quickly.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at the male beast. ”Did those shadowy creatures attack you and the Puyang Clan?”

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu nodded at him. ”Those creatures appeared out of nowhere, and their numbers were enormous. My master and the others tried to stop them, but they were too late because those creatures had already invaded almost every domain in the Ancient Realm, and they also controlled many living creatures there. But how do you know about them?”

”The void spirit told me about those shadowy creatures, and I’m looking for a way to go to the Ancient Realm to meet two important people there.” Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s answer surprised Ancient Leiyu Tianlu. ”Since you’re already here, can you please take me to the Ancient Realm?”

”Wait a minute,” Xuanyuan Hao interjected. ”What do you mean by those shadowy creatures? Where did they come from? Why did they attack the Puyang Clan and the others?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] exhaled softly and created a qi screen, showing them the situation in the Ancient Desolate Domain. ”You guys can see those creatures for yourself.”

”Huh? Isn’t that the Ancient Desolate Domain? Have you ever been to that domain?” Xuanyuan Wuyue asked him.

”Not yet.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] explained to them about how he found out about the Ancient Desolate Domain and the situation there, causing all the ancestors of the Xuanyuan Clan to frown with dark faces. ”I’ve never fought those shadowy creatures, but I know they are powerful; otherwise, Ancient Leiyu Tianlu wouldn’t have been injured like this, especially given his strength and physique.”

Xuanyuan Changyi and the others agreed with him.

”What is the situation in the Puyang Clan now? Have those creatures managed to break through their clan?”

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu shook his head before telling Zhang Xiaolong [3] about the situation in the clan. ”The Puyang Clan has powerful protective barriers, and they also have powerful counterattack mechanisms, but all of them are nearly useless against those creatures. They possess and control other living creatures to attack the clan, and they move to other bodies if the previous ones die.”

”Does that mean that many cultivators have died there?”

”Yes.” Ancient Leiyu Tianlu nodded. ”Those creatures don’t possess human cultivators, but they do possess beasts and demon beasts. They chose powerful beasts and demon beasts as their vessels, and they slaughtered many human cultivators. My master sent me here to look for you because he heard that those creatures are after the two souls of the ten-tailed fox, but they still haven’t managed to find them.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already heard about it from the Will of the Universe before, so he was not surprised to hear it again from the Ancient Leiyu Tianlu. ”Can you take me there?”

”I can take you there, but I won’t.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned. ”My master sent me here to protect you because he was afraid that those creatures would invade the Paradise Realm, and he believed that you were the key to defeating them.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head slightly. ”As long as I haven’t evolved into the next ten-tailed fox, I will never be able to defeat them. The only way for me to evolve is to meet the two souls of the old fox and merge them with my soul, so I have no other choice but to go to the Ancient Realm to meet them.”

”But—”

”I already have two ways to go to the Ancient Realm, but those creatures have already taken over both places. If I force my way there through either path, I’ll have to fight them, so I want to take another path.”

”Two paths? What is the other path besides the Ancient Desolate Domain?”

”The tower of eternity.” Ancient Leiyu Tianlu and the people of the Xuanyuan Clan were shocked to see the black key in Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s hand. ”I can open the gate with this key, but the problem is that those creatures have already invaded the tower in the Zhanlu Domain. Even if I use my strengthening technique, they are still much stronger than me, and there are too many of them. Moreover, this body is only my clone, and I can cancel it at any time. If I encounter danger in that realm, I will immediately cancel it.”

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu shook his head in refusal. ”Even though this body of yours is just a clone, I still won’t take you to the Ancient Realm, as the situation there is too risky. My master warned me that if you fell into their control, it would be dire, and the universe would face destruction.”

”Do you really not want to take me there?”

”No,” Ancient Leiyu Tianlu firmly refused. ”My master ordered me to protect you, so I won’t disobey his orders by taking you there.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded slightly. ”Alright, I won’t force you to take me there, and I’ll find my own way.”

”I won’t let you go there.”

”Try to stop me if you can.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] disappeared from their sight, and he activated his invisibility ability so that Ancient Leiyu Tianlu couldn’t track his movements.

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu was a little surprised by Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s speed, but he immediately flew to catch up to him, followed by the people from the Xuanyuan Clan.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smirked as he looked in their direction, and he accelerated his speed, leaving them far behind. ”Have you found the portal, Mei?”

[Master, I found something several miles up in the sky, but I don’t know if it’s the portal or not because something is blocking my detection system.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] opened the map. ”Show me the location.”

[Done.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] flew high into the sky towards that location, with Ancient Leiyu Tianlu still trying to follow behind him. ”He can detect me even though I’ve used my invisibility ability, huh?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] quickly opened the portal to his training space, followed by Zhang Fei [4] and Zhang Fei [5], who walked out of it.

Zhang Fei [4] and Zhang Fei [5] flew in two different directions, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] continued flying into the sky to inspect the object Mei had discovered earlier.

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu became confused as soon as he sensed Zhang Fei’s three auras, but he flew towards Zhang Xiaolong [3] and ignored the other two clones.

Since Ancient Leiyu Tianlu was tailing Zhang Xiaolong [3], Zhang Fei [4] and Zhang Fei [5] decided to intercept him. The two activated the soul link to borrow the power of the beasts in the beast space.

”Ugh! Why are you so stubborn? If you act like this, I will fight you seriously, and you will definitely be seriously injured!”

Zhang Fei [4] shook his head as he took out his sword. ”You underestimate me too much, you know?”

”If you want to stop me, you’ll have to fight us.” Zhang Fei [5] summoned the demon extermination sword. ”Even though we’re old friends, I won’t hesitate to attack you.”

The people from the Xuanyuan Clan appeared behind Ancient Leiyu Tianlu. ”Young man, please think things through carefully and don’t act recklessly. The situation in the Ancient Realm is unstable, and those creatures are targeting you.”
