Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1785: Toward The Fourth Ground Floor

”Xiajie, she—”

Mo Cangyue hadn’t finished answering Yuan Xuan when they suddenly heard Zhang Fei shout a warning.

”Everybody moves further away!”

Before any of the demons could move, they saw Zhang Fei raise his right hand. The Primordial Flame slowly spread throughout the area, and the heat on the second ground floor instantly skyrocketed.

Mo Luoxie and Yuan Xuan were shocked by Zhang Fei’s action, and their feet were rooted to the spot. ”What is he actually planning? What kind of flame is that?”

Mo Cangyue reacted quickly by pulling the two of them away to the edge of the floor, warning them at the same time. ”Activate your shields now.”

Qi Qingxiu, Ye Mingran, Dong Xuanyin, and Nalan Shizhe followed all the demons present on that floor by flying to the edge before activating their barriers. They did not expect that Zhang Fei became impatient and used the Primordial Flame all of a sudden.

In the air, Zhang Fei looked up and used more of his fire qi and spread the flame further. Huo Ling emerged from his body, and the Primordial Flame instantly became much stronger and hotter. ”Haha! Why are you suddenly showing off, husband? Are you doing this to lure the other demon gods to you?”

”Do you really think I would do that?”

”Well? Your actions are sometimes unpredictable, husband.”

”Haha,” Zhang Fei softly laughed, spread his senses, and locked all the mindless demons on the floor. He counted the number of those mindless demons in his mind. ”Let’s kill them a few times, Ling’er.”

”Alright.” Huo Ling’s body turned into flame; she hugged Zhang Fei from behind. ”Let’s do it, husband.”

”Okay!” After the Primordial Flame enveloped the sky of the second ground floor, Zhang Fei waved his right hand down, followed by countless flame spears corresponding to the number of those mindless demons descending from the sky.

All the demons present on the second ground floor closed their eyes because Zhang Fei’s action made the area extremely bright, and sweat drenched their bodies because the Primordial Flame was scorching hot.

In a matter of seconds, the roars of those mindless demons echoed across the second ground floor, but it didn’t last long because they died too quickly.

After he sucked all the demon items on the floor and those mindless demons respawned, Zhang Fei immediately attacked them again. For several minutes, the roars of those mindless demons echoed on the floor, shocking all the demons present there.

At first, Mo Luoxie still doubted Zhang Fei’s abilities because he hadn’t seen him in action, but his doubts had disappeared from his mind now. ”Xuan, I admit defeat to him.”

”I know.” Yuan Xuan grabbed Mo Luoxie’s hand, interlocking their fingers. ”No wonder Uncle Mo wants you to build a good relationship with Zhang Fei, Luoxie. He is really a monster, and his strength is beyond his cultivation level.”

Mo Cangyue glanced at Mo Luoxie and Yuan Xuan, and her lips curved involuntarily into a faint smile. ”Brother, no demon in our generation can match Zhang Fei’s strength.”

”Yes,” Mo Luoxie nodded in agreement as he gazed at Zhang Fei in admiration. ”No wonder he can defeat Yan Washeng! His strength is truly terrifying! Judging by his current cultivation, he hasn’t used his strengthening technique yet, but he can kill those mindless demons with one strike. If he uses his strengthening technique, he should be able to defeat our father.”

After a few minutes and getting many demon items, Zhang Fei dispelled the Primordial Flame, and Huo Ling returned to her human form. The two immediately landed on the ground, looking at the area around them. They found all the demons present there stunned speechlessly, except for Qi Qingxiu and a few others.

”Haha,” Huo Ling laughed, looking at them. ”After today, your name will be famous in the Myriad Abyss Domain, husband. All the demon gods in this domain will surely hear of your name, and many of them will surely seek you out, either to befriend you or to kill you.”

Zhang Fei nodded slightly. ”If they come to befriend me, I will welcome them with open arms. If they come to kill me, I will kill them by torturing them slowly, like Yan Tianling.”

”Husband!” Zhang Fei turned to Qi Qingxiu and the other three. ”Do you really intend to lure those demon gods?”

”Everything has already happened, so you don’t need to ask that again, Qingxiu.” Ye Mingran said.

Nalan Shizhe nodded in agreement. ”Those demon gods will eventually come to you, so you have to be prepared to face them, son.”

”Those demon gods are powerful, but they are not as powerful as Sister Ling, so our husband will have no difficulty dealing with them.” Dong Xuanyin said confidently.

”Zhang Fei,” Mo Cangyue said as she strode quickly towards them, accompanied by Mo Luoxie and Yuan Xuan. ”These two are my brother and my future sister-in-law, Mo Luoxie and Yuan Xuan.”

Zhang Fei looked at Mo Luoxie. ”Did your father send you here?”

”Yes,” Mo Luoxie admitted without beating around the bush. ”My father wants me to build a good relationship with you, and he also wants me to learn a lot from you.”

Zhang Fei glanced at Mo Cangyue, who turned her face to the side while smiling awkwardly. ”Don’t look at me like that! I only told my father about your actions against Yan Tianling and Yan Washeng, and he sent my brother here on his own decision.”

Yuan Xuan looked at Zhang Fei and Mo Cangyue in turn; her future sister-in-law’s reaction further confirmed her previous guess. ’I think her love will bloom soon, and Aunt Gu won’t have to worry about her sexual orientation anymore.’

”Honestly, I have no problem with your father’s intentions, but I don’t have anything special I can teach you.” Zhang Fei had the Demon Extermination Sword returned to him before inserting it into his body again. ”If you want to learn from me, you can fight alongside me on the third ground floor.”

”Xuan and I have no problem with that.” Mo Luoxie replied with a smile.

”Good!” Zhang Fei looked at Mo Cangyue again. ”I can look for the Infernal Blood Core and the Demon Essence Drop on the fourth floor, right?”

”You can look for the Demon Essence Drop on the third floor, but very few mindless demons drop that item.” Zhang Fei fell into thought after hearing Mo Cangyue’s suggestion. ”I think we should look for the Infernal Blood Core on the fourth ground floor first, and we’ll return to the third floor after we hunt the Abyssal Demon Heart and the Demon Ritual Sigil on the fifth ground floor.”

Zhang Fei thought Mo Cangyue’s suggestion was better, so they didn’t need to waste much time looking for the Demon Essence Drop. ”In that case, we will go to the fourth ground floor straight away, and we will go to the fifth ground floor after I get enough Infernal Blood Cores.”

”Speaking of the fifth ground floor, several children of the other demon gods are there now.” Zhang Fei looked at Mo Luoxie with a questioning look. ”Chang Qifeng, Zuo Zhenlin, and a few others invited me to join them a few days ago. However, I was busy with my own personal affairs, so I decided not to join them.”

”Chang Qifeng is Chang Moyu’s son, and Zuo Zhenlin is Zuo Hentian’s son, right?” Mo Luoxie glanced at his sister, but Mo Cangyue responded with a shake of her head. ”Yuan Xiajie told me about their identities.”

”I see.” Mo Luoxie nodded in understanding. ”Chang Moyu and Zuo Hentian were my father’s enemies, and they joined forces with Yan Washeng to overthrow him. I didn’t join them because I felt they had prepared a trap for me, and they would use me to pressure my father. Apart from them, we have to be careful of Gui Ting and Gongsun Jiuxue.”

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow. ”Yuan Xiajie told me that Gu Ting is Gu Ye’s daughter, but she didn’t tell me about Gongsun Jiuxue. What is her relationship with Gongsun Zhilan?”

”Gongsun Jiuxue is Gongsun Zhilan’s niece.” Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. ”Even though she is not as venomous as her aunt, she is still dangerous, and she is more dangerous than Chang Qifeng, Zuo Zhenlin, and Gui Ting.”

Zhang Fei thought. ”Since Gui Ting is Gui Ye’s daughter, her abilities should also be related to ghosts, right?”

”Yes,” Mo Luoxie created a qi screen. ”Compared to Gui Ye’s other children, Gui Ting is his perfect heir, and he passed down all his techniques to her. If he decides to retire, she will take his place.”

”I can’t wait to meet Gui Ting, and I want to test her ghost techniques myself.” Mo Luoxie simply smiled in response to Zhang Fei’s statement. ”I’ve met ghost cultivators in the past, but their techniques were so-so, so I’m curious about her techniques.”

Mo Cangyue was elated because she was tired of fighting those mindless demons on the second ground floor. ”So, what are we waiting for? Yuan Xiajie has already gone to the third ground floor earlier, and she is waiting for us there, so we have to go now.”

”Let’s go.” Zhang Fei immediately led those female demons to the third ground floor, with Mo Luoxie and Yuan Xuan following behind them.

Yuan Xuan kept watching Mo Cangyue from behind, and she looked much more cheerful than usual. She tugged Mo Luoxie’s sleeve and whispered to him. ’I guess my guess was right; your sister was smitten by Zhang Fei.’

Mo Luoxie had also noticed the difference in Mo Cangyue’s attitude, but he wasn’t sure if his sister was in love with Zhang Fei, and she was being so cheerful for another reason.

When they arrived at the third ground floor, Yuan Xiajie immediately joined them. As originally planned, they didn’t hunt mindless demons on that floor; instead, they rushed to the fourth ground floor to search for the Infernal Blood Core.
