Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

*Bam*

Huang Zhejun and Huang Jiguang slammed into the wall, fell to the floor, and vomited a mouthful of blood from their mouths. "Cough... Cough..."

"Idiot!" Long Jiutian furiously shouted. "I told you that I would arrive today, but you foolishly gave way for that impostor to infiltrate this clan."

"Cough." Huang Zhejun rubbed his chest and explained. "Lord, that person's aura is identical to yours, so we didn't realize that he was an impostor. However, he didn't do anything in this clan, and he had already left long ago."

Long Jiutian went straight to Huang Zhejun, grabbed his head, and read his memories. However, he didn't find out much from his memories, especially since the Huang ancestor didn't communicate much with Zhang Fei's clone, and they only exchanged a few words a few times.

Long Jiutian found out about the four humanoid dolls in Huang Zhejun's memories, but he was disappointed because the Yan Jinqing and Tantai Lingyan dolls were taken away by Zhang Fei's clone.

Long Jiutian rushed to the dungeon, followed by Huang Zhejun, Huang Jiguang, and the three women. Upon arrival, he checked out the Zhang Fei and Lin Moxian dolls, but he realized that both of them were dolls and destroyed them instantly.

Huang Zhejun, Huang Jiguang, and the three women were shocked to see that. Before they could speak, Long Jiutian knocked them backward until they slammed into the dungeon wall. "Find those damn people now."

After they wiped the blood on their mouths, Huang Zhejun and Huang Jiguang hurriedly left their clan's dungeon. The Huang ancestor contacted Xiong Yehui and Lei Xuanfeng to help them search for Zhang Fei, Lin Moxian, and the two women.

Lei Huiyin, Huang Bingyun, and Qin Liangyu shrank as soon as Long Jiutian turned towards them with a fierce gaze. However, a snow-white bird suddenly darted into the dungeon and attacked the demon, knocking him several steps back.

"This Qi! Didn't my lord send Feng Yichen to the phoenix realm? How can that ice phoenix be in this realm?" Long Jiutian rushed out of the dungeon before jumping to the highest place in the Huang Clan, looking for Feng Xueying's whereabouts.

Long Jiutian noticed numerous traces of ice Qi, intentionally left by Feng Xueying, in the darkness of the night sky. Without realizing that it was a trap, he immediately rushed after her.

After those people left, Zhang Fei [5] walked into the Huang Clan together with Lin Moxian in an invisible state, and they went into the dungeon to retrieve the fragments of the two dolls.

Zhang Fei [5] canceled his abilities as soon as they arrived there. Lei Huiyin, Huang Bingyun, and Qin Liangyu were surprised by their appearance, but they did not show any excessive reaction, especially since he had added some things to their memories.

Zhang Fei [5] then took out a black pill and gave it to Lei Huiyin. "You know what to do with this pill, right?"

"Yes, Master." Lei Huiyin replied with a nod. "I'll prepare this pill now; my husband and others won't notice once they take it."

After Lei Huiyin and the two women left the dungeon, Lin Moxian asked Zhang Fei [5]. "What have you done to make them loyal to you?"

"I added some things to their memories." Lin Moxian raised an eyebrow at Zhang Fei [5]. "It's one of my demon abilities, but I rarely use it, including against my enemies. I only changed the memories of a few of them, and most of them are men, so they are completely loyal to me."

"Does that mean you will bring three women to your side?"

Zhang Fei [5] answered with a nod. "You have seen my special prison, and the cultivation of three of the ten women there is still in the ten mortal realms. Therefore, I will replace them with Lei Huiyin, Huang Bingyun, and Qin Liangyu. That way, the tube will produce more Yin Qi faster, and I don't have to worry about breaking through by relying on your aunt's Nine Revolutions Pill to stabilize my foundation."

"I see." Lin Moxian then warned him. "Junior brother, the Nine Revolutions Pill can indeed stabilize our foundation, but you can't always rely on it. The ingredients are scarce, and the time to concoct it is quite long. My aunt once told me that it took her a month to concoct one pill, and she has never managed to concoct more than one pill because of the complexity."

"Senior brother, I have three cultivators with the wood element, remember? In fact, I already have the herb seeds to concoct the pill, and they have already helped me grow them, so I don't need to worry about the herbs." Lin Moxian could only shake his head hearing that because Zhang Fei [5] was a cheater with them by his side. "As for the time to concoct it, I don't dare to say exactly how much time I need to concoct it. I haven't tried concocting it yet, and I will try concocting it first after the situation in this realm calms down."

Lin Moxian let out a soft sigh and patted his shoulder. "If you can refine the pill faster and with more quantity than my aunt, then your breakthrough will be unstoppable, and you can break through whenever you want. By the way, let's leave this clan now, or Huang Zhejun will be aware of our actions."

"Let's go! I want to see Feng Xueying's fight with Long Jiutian." Zhang Fei [5] immediately brought Lin Moxian out of the clan.

"Hmm?" Long Jiutian frowned as he reached the last trace of ice Qi, which was already outside the Xianjin Realm. Feng Xueling was standing with her back to him, both hands behind her hips. "How did you get to this realm?"

Feng Xueying turned to him with a bone-piercing cold gaze. "Do you think all phoenixes live in the phoenix realm?"

"I've been in this realm for a long time, and I've never felt your presence here before." Long Jiutian replied confidently, but Feng Xueying's aura suddenly disappeared, even though she was still standing in front of him. "I didn't expect you to suppress your aura so deeply that I couldn't sense it. Since you are here, I will capture you and hand you over to my lord."

Feng Xueying said nothing and stretched her right hand forward. In an instant, a few snow-white birds flew towards Long Jiutian, but the demon immediately countered it with several blackish red balls.

Feng Xueying's snow-white birds immediately disappeared after colliding with Long Jiutian's blackish red balls, and those balls instantly shot towards the ice phoenix. She kept calm and blew out a cold breath at them, freezing them.

Long Jiutian, who was previously happy after destroying those snow-white birds, immediately became tense. He was previously confident that he could defeat Feng Xueying with his abilities, but she froze his blackish red balls instead.

"Your blood and darkness can corrupt many things, but none of them can corrupt my ice." Feng Xueying once again summoned her snow-white birds and shot them toward Long Jiutian.

Unlike before, Long Jiutian could not destroy Feng Xueying's attack, and the snow-white birds flew around him, creating a vortex of ice around him.

*Swoosh*

A blackish red vortex instantly emerged from Long Jiutian's body to counter Feng Xueying's attack, but it immediately froze, making him panic. He immediately flew out of the ice encirclement and shot a few other blackish red balls toward the ice phoenix.

"Futile." Feng Xueying waved her hand, freezing those balls again. Soon, a few ice arrows appeared behind her, and they shot straight toward Long Jiutian.

Long Jiutian intended to counter those arrows by creating a blackish red shield in front of him, but their trajectory changed and circled behind him. However, another shield appeared behind the demon, but it immediately froze after they stuck it.

"Fuck!" Long Jiutian cursed and floated away from Feng Xueying. 'I've heard that the ice of the ice phoenix is ​​​​indeed freezing, but it shouldn't be able to freeze darkness, yet she managed to do it repeatedly.'

"Thinking in battle, huh?" Long Jiutian immediately turned back with a black sword in his hand and attacked Feng Xueying, but the ice phoenix turned into an ice statue before shattering. "You can't even tell the difference between illusion and reality."

Long Jiutian turned to Feng Xueying, who had already returned to her original position. He intended to inform Xereth of the ice phoenix's whereabouts and abilities, but a snow-white fog quickly enveloped him, causing his body to gradually freeze.

'Shit!' Long Jiutian tried to fight it with his darkness and blood, but it backfired on him, especially since he froze even faster. A large block of ice encased the demon in a matter of seconds.

Zhang Fei [5] and Lin Moxian immediately appeared behind Long Jiutian, checking his condition. "Did you find anything inside his body, Old Phoenix?"

"No." Feng Xueying shook her head at Zhang Fei [5]. "However, I'm sure Xereth has planted something into this demon's body, so I froze him instead of killing him. Otherwise, the demon would instantly become aware of his death, posing a significant risk to us, particularly since the others have not yet returned to this realm."

"I see." Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding. "I'm glad you didn't kill this demon, and I will use him to increase my demon rank and cultivation later."

Feng Xueying let out a soft sigh. "I understand your desire to become strong, but you take shortcuts too often. It will have a bad impact on you one day, so you should think more carefully about using shortcuts."

"I understand your concerns, and I thank you for that." Zhang Fei [5] said sincerely. "Unfortunately, I have no choice but to use shortcuts, especially since the enemies blocking my path are getting stronger and stronger. Thus, I have to increase my strength as quickly as possible, or I will always be dependent on all of you."

Feng Xueying immediately scolded him. "You're too stupid, kid. What's wrong with having to depend on other people? Do you think it's worse than using shortcuts? No matter how strong you become in the future, you won't be able to do everything by relying on yourself, and you will still need other people's help to overcome some things beyond your control."

"Old Phoenix, have you ever been betrayed by people you trust?" Zhang Fei's [5] question surprised Feng Xueying and Lin Moxian. "I'm not saying that you and the others will betray me one day, but my blood brother and ex-lover betrayed me long before I became a cultivator. In fact, I was able to reach this stage thanks to the help of many people, and I am aware that I will always need the help of others, but I would rather not continue relying on anyone. I am aware that using shortcuts will have a negative impact on me, but I am willing to bear the risk as long as I can be strong to protect myself and the people around me, especially all my wives and our families."

"I'm just reminding you as a senior, and you can decide everything for yourself." After she said that, Feng Xueying immediately disappeared from their sight. She originally wanted to take care of the people from the Huang, Xiong, and Lei clans, but she changed her mind and let Zhang Fei [5] and the others sort them out themselves.

"What happened to them?"

"I killed them with my hands."

"Does your family know about that?"

"I told them myself." Zhang Fei [5] then clenched his right fist and continued with full resolution. "I hate betrayal the most, whether they are my enemies or family members; I will kill anyone who dares to betray me, and I will make them suffer before they die."

Lin Moxian didn't say anything, patted Zhang Fei [5]'s shoulder, and flew into the realm again.

Zhang Fei [5] originally wanted to send the frozen Long Jiutian into one of his spaces, but he changed his mind and sent him to the Nine Hells Darkland instead. This way, the demon wouldn't harm his family if he suddenly managed to break free from Feng Xueying's ice.

Zhang Fei [5] then monitored Huang Zhejun and the others through the system map, but they would never have expected that Tantai Lingyan and the others were hiding in Cheng Gaoji's shop.

Zhang Fei [5] suddenly saw a flying artifact similar to Lin Jingxia's approaching that realm, and he could immediately guess that its owner was the alchemy god, Tian Shuixiang.

[Master, you have to be careful of that person.]

'What do you mean by that, Mei? Why should I be careful of him?'

'Asura demon, huh?' Zhang Fei [5] frowned and muttered inwardly. 'Did he use something to hide his demon identity?'

[Master, he didn't use an artifact to hide his demon identity, and another demon seemed to help him become human by using a special ability similar to your body modification ability, or else his demon aura had already spread around.]

'What kind of demon has the ability to change other people's bodies?'

[The system has no information about demons with such abilities apart from incubi and succubi, master.]

'I see.'

A while later, Zhang Fei [5] was already in front of Lin Moxian. "Senior brother, what do you know about Tian Shuxiang?"

"What do you mean by your question, Junior Brother?" Zhang Fei [5] carefully explained to Lin Moxian. "Are you sure that Senior Tian is a demon?"

"I'm a demon, remember? I don't know which demon helped him hide his demon identity; I'm certain that he's a demon."

Lin Moxian nodded. "Honestly, I've never heard anything strange about Senior Tian, ​​​​and he's actually a nice guy. Unlike my aunt, he often helps people in our realm, and the residents like him very much, so I find it difficult to believe that he's a demon."

"Well, not all demons are evil, right?" Zhang Fei [5] said with a smile. "I don't know the reason he disguised himself as a human, but his demon identity is truly extraordinary. Moreover, his true name is Shang Xiuluo, and his true cultivation is not at the 1-Moon Divine Ascension Realm but 5-Moon."

Lin Moxian looked at him in shock. "How do you know so much about Senior Tian?"

"Sorry, but I can't tell you that, Senior Brother." Zhang Fei [5] then looked outside because Tian Shuxiang had already arrived in front of the residence. "For now, let's just pretend that we don't know about his true identity, but I will try something to investigate his purpose for disguising himself as a human."

Lin Moxian nodded at him. "I don't know how you know all that, but I hope you will never become enemies with Senior Tian. Otherwise, you will face too many powerful cultivators, including the Nameless One, and my Lin Clan might also become your enemy."

"Does that mean you will also be my enemy, Senior Brother?"

"I can't answer that now." Lin Moxian replied with a shake of her head. "You are my junior brother, but the Lin Clan is my family, and such a situation will put me in a dilemma."

Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding. "Let's meet that person."
