Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1896: Demon Extermination Sword Upgrade V

The Demon Extermination Sword in Jian Hei’an’s hand suddenly emitted a pitch-black light, carrying the same baleful aura as her two previous techniques.

Jian Hei’an opened her eyes, but they were even darker than before. She took a deep breath and carefully slashed the sword forward, causing a small crack to open in midair.

Huo Ling gasped in shock as she sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the crack, and she immediately moved as Jian Hei’an was about to swing the sword once more.

”Stop it, Little Spirit!”

Jian Hei’an looked at her in confusion, but Huo Ling didn’t say anything more to her.

Huo Ling stretched her hand forward and shot her primordial flame into the crack to repel the terrifying aura emanating from within. Within a few seconds, the crack disappeared by itself, making her breathe a sigh of relief.

”Was that crack just now what I think it was, Ling’er?” Zhang Fei [5] asked with a solemn expression.

”Yes,” Huo Ling nodded. ”I didn’t expect your sword spirit to be able to open a gap leading to the Lotus Limbo World, Husband. If I don’t stop her, those wandering evil souls will come out from that place, and they will wreak havoc in this domain. The situation will get out of control, and no cultivator in the domain will be able to fight her.”

Zhang Fei [5] suddenly had an idea. ”Since Jian Hei’an can open a portal connecting us to that place, I don’t need to worry about being trapped there.”

”Her ability is indeed an advantage for you, Husband.” Then, Huo Ling warned him. ”However, you cannot enter that place with your current cultivation, and you have to wait until your cultivation reaches the Celestial God Realm first. That woman is as strong as my master, so you won’t be able to defeat her for now. Even Hu Tianlang was forced to flee in the past, so you must not force yourself to enter that place.”

Zhang Fei [5] naturally understood the situation, and he would not act recklessly by entering that place with his current cultivation and strength. Although he could borrow Feng Yao’s power, he had no clear information about the woman’s abilities.

”Master.” Jian Hei’an tugged at his sleeves. ”I’m sorry.”

Zhang Fei [5] looked at her, smiled at her, and patted her head. ”You don’t need to apologize to me, okay? You’re still unfamiliar with your new techniques, and Ling’er stopped you as soon as she realized it, so there’s no problem with that.”

”Thank you, Master.” Jian Hei’an was really afraid of bringing trouble to her master.

”Alright, you and Guang’an can enter the sword again.” The two sword spirits did not argue with Zhang Fei [5] and entered the Demon Extermination Sword.

Then, Huo Qianmei asked Huo Ling. ”Who exactly is that woman, Senior?”

”That woman is much older than all the ancient demons that ever lived in this Ancient Realm.” Huo Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan froze, their eyes widening as they stared at Huo Ling.

”So, that woman is also an ancient demon, right?” Zhang Fei [5] asked in a mumbling tone.

”You could say that, Husband.” Huo Ling nodded at him. ”She’s not older than the primordials, but she’s much older than those ancient demons, including Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin.”

”Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin?” Gongsun Zhilan turned to Hua Qianmei. ”Why are those two names so familiar?”

Hua Qianmei also found the two names familiar. ”If I’m not mistaken, they were the first and strongest ancient demons, but the ancestors of the other races defeated and killed them.”

”Ahh!” Gongsun Zhilan clasped her hands. ”No wonder their names are so familiar!”

”Dead?” Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan looked at Huo Ling in confusion. ”What if I say that Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin are still alive?”

”That’s impossible, right?”

”How can they still be alive?”

Huo Ling chuckled. ”Do you want to take these two women to see them, Husband?”

”The last time I saw them was over two months ago, so I thought I’d visit them again.” Zhang Fei [5] walked toward the south-left corner, with Huo Ling sitting on his shoulder. ”Follow me.”

Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan exchanged confused glances for a moment. They hurriedly followed behind Zhang Fei [5].

Once they arrived at the south-left corner, Zhang Fei [5] and Huo Ling led the two female demon gods across the wall, which shocked them.

They were two of the few demon gods of the Myriad Abyss Domain, but Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan never knew that there was a secret passage in the Myriad Abyss Dungeon. If it weren’t for Zhang Fei [5] and Huo Ling, they would never know that the hidden passage existed.

Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan could see many symbols on the walls on both sides, but they did not recognize them.

Huo Ling told them those symbols were written using an ancient language. Those symbols were used to suppress the power of the two ancient demons.

Hui Ling also told them that the dungeon was a prison, and the mindless demons were the minions of the ancient demons.

Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan felt their heads spinning as they listened to Huo Ling’s explanation; they felt that they didn’t know about many things, particularly regarding the events of the past.

When they arrived at the entrance to the sixth ground floor, Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan had difficulty breathing due to the fierce aura of the two ancient demons. They were demon gods and had fought too many enemies in the past, but they felt oppressed by that terrifying aura.

”The two ancient demons are truly frightening; even my body can’t stop trembling.”

Gongsun Zhilan agreed with Hua Qianmei; her body couldn’t stop shaking when faced with the aura of the two ancient demons.

Unlike Gongsun Zhilan and Hua Qianmei, Zhang Fei [5] was much more relaxed because he had met Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin before, and they were not like he had previously imagined, so he no longer felt afraid of them.

As they approached the gate, two powerful demon auras swept towards them, causing Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan to tremble even more violently than before.

Hua Qianmei’s and Gongsun Zhilan’s pupils shrank as soon as they saw Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin. They looked at Zhang Fei [5], who looked so calm in front of the two ancient demons.

”Haha,” Zhen Mo laughed. ”Why are you here again, Kid? Are those two female demons your wives?”

”Their cultivation has already reached the Celestial Demon God, but their demon aura is too weak.” Zhen Yi spoke, looking at Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan. ”Are they demon gods from this domain, Kid?”

”They are Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan, two of the several demon gods of this domain.” Zhang Fei [5] took out two jugs of wine and threw them at the two ancient demons, who immediately caught them. ”Since you two have been imprisoned here for too long, I deliberately brought the wine for you.”

Without further ado, Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin opened the lid of the jug and drank the wine inside. ”Haha! This wine is really delicious, Kid.”

”It’s been a long time since I’ve had wine, so I must thank you for bringing it for us,” Zhen Yin said. ”So, what brings you here today? Have you found a solution to free us?”

”I can free you two whenever I want, but I don’t want to risk luring that creature into this domain.” Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin understood Zhang Fei [5]’s worries because that creature was too powerful, and none of them could defeat it. ”They are curious about you two, so I brought them here to meet you. Moreover, you two have been imprisoned in this place for too long, and I’m taking a break from my hunting, so I’ll accompany you to chat.”

”Haha,” Zhen Mo laughed. ”I appreciate your good intentions, kid.”

Zhen Yin looked at Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan, who looked terrified of her and her husband. ”One of you is a charm demon, and the other one is a poison demon, right?”

”Yes, Ancestor.” Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan answered respectfully.

”I see.” Zhen Yin nodded in understanding. ”You two are fortunate to befriend this kid, and your futures will be bright if you follow him.”

Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan glanced at Zhang Fei [5]. They already knew more or less about his strength and connections, especially his connections with Feng Yao and Huo Ling. However, they did not expect that the oldest two ancient demons also spoke highly of him.

”Were you two truly imprisoned in this place before this domain was inhabited, Senior?”

”Yes,” Zhen Mo nodded at them. ”Those despicable other races entrapped us in the past, and they have imprisoned us in this place ever since. Even so, we managed to injure them, and this kid said that they were long dead.”

Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin recounted their past experiences to Hua Qianmei and Gongsun Zhilan. They also told the two female gods about their plans if Zhang Fei [5] freed them in the future.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei has finished dual cultivating with Guo Lan, Wang Zhuxian, and Ming Yanyu. After that, he asked Lillea, Janette, Zhang Lingxue, and Ursula to meet him in the garden.

Lillea, Janette, Zhang Lingxue, and Ursula were overjoyed when Zhang Fei gave them the demon materials to upgrade their demon ranks.

Since they were already dual cultivating with Zhang Fei, Lillea and Janette hurriedly used those materials to begin the process of upgrading their demon ranks, which would take a year or two.

On the other hand, Zhang Lingxue and Ursula did not directly use those demon materials; instead, they pulled Zhang Fei into the main bedroom because they hadn’t dual-cultivated with him yet.
