Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 730: Two Kingdoms Troops

”Are you sure Zhang Fei is really that manʼs son?” Huangfu Shou doubtfully asked his empress.

”I heard it from his mouth directly, so it canʼt be wrong, and Zhang Fei is really his son.” Helian Yueyi then asked him back. ”Has Senior Tiannan given you the answers?”

”Senior Tiannan doesnʼt know Mai Xiaomeng, but he has heard of those clans, and they lived in the Red Sun Realm.”

”Did he tell you the name of their leader?”

”Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan lead the Shang Clan. Murong Qianying leads the Murong Clan. Hong Quan leads the Hong Clan, and Hong Xinxin is their young miss.” Huangfu Shouʼs answer caused Helian Yueyi to frown, as she didnʼt expect Zhang Feiʼs connection to be that high. ”I asked him to contact the Shang Clan, but he refused because they are too powerful, and my ancestorsʼ Huangfu Clan is nothing compared to them.”

”Even if those people were willing to help us, theyʼd just trample on us and use us as tools.” Huangfu Shou agreed with Helian Yueyi. ”What about the other two realms?”

”Senior Tiannan doesnʼt know about the Netherworld Realm, but he told me that the Abyssal Realm is a demon realm. The demons in that realm, particularly their Demon Emperor, are even more powerful than those of the Shang Clan.” Helian Yueyi was confused about how Zhang Fei could have a relationship with demons from that realm. ”By the way, he told me that he was already on his way back, and my ancestors sent someone to cure our daughters.”

”Thatʼs great!” Helian Yueyi then stood up and left the room. ”Husband, you can go to Sister Yanxi or your other concubines, and I will accompany our daughters tonight.”

Instead, Huangfu Shou lay on his bed, his mind constantly mulling over various strategies to win Zhang Fei over to his side. ”If he were really the son of that mysterious man, it would be wonderful if he were willing to join me. How can I persuade him? Should I go and meet him?”

Helian Yueyi had already arrived at her two daughtersʼ room, but she was confused to see Huangfu Xiaoying and Huangfu Xiaomei sleeping so soundly without feeling the slightest pain.

Helian Yueyi immediately sat down by the bed and checked on her two daughters. The results surprised her, especially since their pulses were much more stable.

”How did they suddenly become this calm?” Helian Yueyi tried to wake Huangfu Xiaoying and Huangfu Xiaomei up, but they did not give her any reaction. ”At least their condition is much better now, and they are not in pain. Moreover, Senior Tiannan is on his way back to this realm with someone from the Huangfu Clan, and I am sure that person can cure them.”

Helian Yueyi leaned against the bedpost and closed her eyes, but she immediately remembered Zhang Feiʼs actions and words at the restaurant. ”I hope Senior Tiannan has a way to save us from that man because I really donʼt want to see my family destroyed.”

As per Zhang Feiʼs order, Ling Baozi immediately met Huangfu Lian, Huangfu Ziyuan, and the fake Ruo Yanxi as soon as he arrived at the Huangfu Royal Palace.

Huangfu Lian and Huangfu Ziyuan could only sigh after they learned that the old man had also fallen into Zhang Feiʼs hands. On the other hand, Ling Baozi stared at the fake Ruo Yanxi with disbelief, especially since his master had told him that she used to be a man.

”What does he want from us?” Huangfu Ziyuan asked.

”Nothing.” Ling Baoziʼs answer confused the three of them. ”Zhang Fei asked us not to do anything, and he is waiting for Li Tiannan to return. Once that person returns, he will give us new orders, but I think we should do something to smooth his plan.”

”What can we do, Grandpa Ling?” Huangfu Lian asked.

Ling Baozi turned to the fake Ruo Yanxi. ”What kind of poison did you give Huangfu Shou?”

”I gave Huangfu Shou the Phantom Severing Poison, but its effects donʼt work immediately, and it will gradually affect his mind to the point of memory loss.” The three men stared at the fake Ruo Yanxi in shock. ”After the poison completely affects him, he will no longer be able to use his cultivation or techniques, and he will go insane. However, I am afraid that Li Tiannan will notice my poison, and he might be able to neutralize it.”

Ling Baozi nodded in understanding. ”Li Tiannan comes from the upper realms, and we donʼt have much information about cultivators from those places, so he may have the ability to neutralize your poison. Do you have other poisons?”

The fake Ruo Yanxi immediately took out two bottles and handed them to Ling Baozi. ”The brown bottle contains the Thousand Screams Poison, and its effect will make people hallucinate. The black bottle contains the Silent Veins Poison; it will spread to our veins and paralyze our nerves, and people who are exposed to it will lose control of their bodies.”

Ling Baozi thought about the two poisons for some time. ”Give me more of this Silent Veins Poison, and I will use it on Huangfu Shouʼs generals to put his troops out of action.”

”Sure.” The fake Ruo Yanxi immediately handed several bottles of Silent Veins Poison to Ling Baozi. She also gave him a few bottles of the Thousand Screams Poison, just in case he needed it for something else.

After taking everything in, Ling Baozi immediately left the room and headed to the private residence of Huangfu Shouʼs generals.

The fake Ruo Yanxi tried to seduce the two men, but Huangfu Lian and Huangfu Ziyuan immediately ran away from the concubine, especially since they knew her true identity. Instead of going to see Huangfu Shou, she went to visit his other concubines, as Zhang Fei had instructed her to administer his pills to them.

Yun Aoxian, who had arrived at the Zhou Kingdom with his troops, was a little surprised by the appearance of Zhou Fang. ”Did Zhang Fei order you here?”

”Yes.” Zhou Fang nodded at Yun Aoxian. ”My master said that you would need my help, so he sent me to guide you to the strategic places of Zhou Xiaochuanʼs troops, and he has also ordered others to stop his troops.”

”What exactly is your fatherʼs plan?” Zhou Fang informed Yun Aoxian about Zhou Xiaochouanʼs plan to attack the Yun Kingdom in a week but reassured him that he didnʼt need to worry about them. After all, their leaders, Zhou Fenghu and Zhou Fanshi, were Zhang Feiʼs slaves. ”Lead us to the nearest place first, and we will take it over.”

”Follow me.”

Yun Qinghai, who was leading his troops to move to the Zhou Kingdom, raised his eyebrows as soon as Zhou Tong appeared in front of them. His troops quickly prepared to attack the Zhou Prince, but he immediately stopped them. ”Did Zang Fei send you here?”

”Isnʼt that obvious?” Zhou Tong coldly asked him back. ”Compared to Yun Aoxian, you are too weak and inexperienced, and you wonʼt be able to lead them properly. If it werenʼt for my masterʼs slave mark in my soul, I wouldnʼt have bothered to help you.”

Yun Qinghai clenched his fists tightly, but he did not argue with Zhou Tong and lead his troops. ”Move! We must arrive at the Zhou Kingdom before sunrise.”

”Yes, Prince!”

Zhou Tong followed Yun Qinghai and his troops from behind as he continued to release heavy sighs. He was the crown prince of the Zhou Kingdom, and he was Zhou Xiaochuanʼs main successor, but his situation turned 180 degrees. He had become Zhang Feiʼs slave now, and his master intended to push Zhou Shenxin to the throne to replace their father. ʼIf he had never appeared in this realm, my fate would not have ended this tragically.ʼ

Since his main body and other clones were busy, Zhang Fei [5] went to the Xian Imperial Sect, especially since several groups of troops from the Xian Kingdom had already gathered there. If he did not assist them, they would have to spend a significant amount of time traveling to the Zhou Kingdom, as their kingdom was located in the south and their target was situated far to the north.

Xian Qifeng, Luo Qinglin, and some of Chao Yuanfengʼs disciples, including Bai Tianʼer, who had previously returned to the Bai Kingdom, had also gathered there. However, Ximen Chuixue and Yuan Luo did not join them because their wedding was approaching, and they still had a lot of preparations to make.

Zhang Fei [5] immediately opened a portal to the Zhou Kingdom. ”Once you arrive at the kingdom, Zhou Fanshi and some of Zhou Xiaochuanʼs subordinates will meet you. They will lead you to some of the most strategic locations in the kingdom, and your first task is to take them over. After that, you can begin capturing nearby locations until you control the entire kingdom area. However, I strictly prohibit you from approaching the Zhou Royal Capital. Do you all understand?”

”Yes!”

”Enter the portal now.”

Xian Qifeng, Luo Qinglin, and some of Chao Yuanfengʼs disciples immediately led groups of troops from the Xian Kingdom to enter the portal according to Xian Feng and Xian Luoʼs arrangements.

Xian Feng then questioned Zhang Fei [5]. ”Are you really going to wait six months to take over the Zhou Kingdom?”

”Essentially, I already control the Zhou Kingdom, and we can seize it at any time. However, I donʼt want to do it too soon, and I want Zhou Xiaochuan to experience despair first.” Zhang Fei [5]ʼs answer made Xian Feng and Xiao Luo smile bitterly, especially since they had never dared to go against the Zhou Emperor in the past, but the situation was on their side because of his presence. ”Ling Baozi, Huang Ziyuan, and Huangfu Lian are my slaves now. Unfortunately, there is still Li Tiannan on Huangfu Shouʼs side, and his ancestors are powerful, so we cannot act rashly against them. I have also eliminated the members of the Alchemy Union in the Yun Kingdom, so I have one less enemy. I will handle that branch of the organization in the Zhou Kingdom after Zhou Shenxin ascends to the empress, and I will eliminate them if they are not willing to submit to me.”

Xian Feng and Xian Luo were shocked to hear that Zhang Fei [5] had already eliminated the Alchemy Union from the Yun Kingdom. ”So, what are your plans now?”

”I will pick up the Meng Clan from my home realm and bring them to this realm, so I hope you can help me take care of them, father-in-law.”

Xian Feng nodded to Zhang Fei [5]. ”The place I arranged for them is ready to live in, so you just need to take them to my palace, and Old Feng will lead them there.”

”Thank you.” Zhang Fei [5] immediately opened the gate to the Sky Jade Realm. ”Iʼll go there now.”

After Zhang Fei [5] left, Xian Feng immediately returned to Xian Royal Palace and ordered Old Feng to prepare to welcome the Meng Clan.

Meng Guanqiu looked awkward when Zhang Fei [5] appeared before her and her big sister, especially after she learned the dual cultivation technique and drank his Yang Qi.

”Guanqiu, tell them to come here now.” Meng Guanqiu nodded at Meng Qi and left them. ”Is the place for us there ready?”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. ”My father-in-law has already prepared it, so I will send you and your clan members to his palace, and one of his aides will bring you all there.”

”I see.” Meng Qi nodded in understanding before saying anything else. ”Zheng Fei, Iʼm afraid Ma Mingxin will come to this realm, and she might cause a commotion.”

”Who is Ma Mingxin?” Meng Qi promptly informed Zhang Fei [5] about the womanʼs identity. Rather than displaying worry, Zhang Fei appeared pleased upon hearing that. ”You donʼt need to think about that woman, and Feng Jinqiu will help me take care of her. Actually, I need a strong woman like her, so I am lucky that she came here, and I will imprison her in a special place.”

”Who is Feng Jinqiu?”

”Feng Jinqiu is a member of the phoenix race, and she replaces Feng Yao to protect this realm.” Zhang Fei [5] then contacted the ice phoenix, informed her about Ma Mingxin, and asked her to capture her.

After a while, all the members of the Meng Clan had gathered in the main hall, and the residence was empty as they took everything to use for their new residence in the Nine Stars Realm.

Zhang Fei [5] immediately took them away to the Nine Stars Realm before bringing them to the Xian Royal Capital, where Old Feng was already waiting for them.

Old Feng then took all the members of the Meng Clan to a small town not too far from the Xian Royal Capital, allowing Zhang Fei [5] and Xian Feng to monitor them easily.

After that, Zhang Fei [5] immediately returned to the elemental chamber, where he attempted to raise his other three elements to the peak stage. Unfortunately, the elements there were not very effective in helping him study the elemental laws, but he remembered that there was a volcano in the Beast Kingdom, so he intended to go there after his three elements reached the peak stage.

In the training space, a day quickly passed; Zhang Fei finally finished helping Ru Xue. After sacrificing a significant amount of his Qi for her, her cultivation reached the 1-Star Earth Realm. The Qi amplifier level 2 increased his Yang Qi significantly, and he also used the Three-Star Yang Pill to boost it further.

During Ru Xueʼs breakthrough from the 7-Star Soul Realm to the 1-Star Earth Realm, Zhang Fei did not forget to help her stabilize her cultivation. Otherwise, her foundation would have fallen apart due to breaking through several levels at once.

”Even though I have helped you stabilize your cultivation, you still have to stabilize it again. After that, you can go to the training ground to adjust yourself to your new strength, or you will have difficulty controlling it.” After Ru Xue started cultivating again, Zhang Fei immediately left his room, but Xu Lingʼer was already waiting for him at the door with a playful smile. He then carried the little girl and asked her. ”What are you thinking? Why are you smiling to yourself?”

”Hehe.” Xu Lingʼer put her arms around Zhang Feiʼs neck directly. ”Big brother! You should have told me if you wanted to see me naked, and I would have been happy to show it to you. You donʼt have to strip me while Iʼm sleeping.”

Xu Lingʼerʼs words made Mei laugh out loud in Zhang Feiʼs mind. ”Do you really think Iʼm that perverted?”

”Yes.” Xu Lingʼer responded with repeated nods.

”In fact, you destroyed your clothes yourself, so I covered your body with a blanket.” Naturally, Xu Lingʼer didnʼt believe that, so Zhang Fei took her to sit with him on the sofa and shared his memories of Tian Huangjinʼs appearance. ”I always find it strange that you are too mature for a girl your age, but it turns out you are the reincarnation of that woman, and you will be her in the future.”

Instead of not believing it, Xu Lingʼer looked excited after she saw Tian Huangjinʼs figure. ”Will I really be that woman in the future, Big Brother?”

”Why are you so happy? Arenʼt you worried that you will change?” Zhang Fei asked in an amused tone.

”Why should I worry? That woman did say that I am the current her, but I am not the old her, so I am not worried that I will change. Once I obtain her memories, I will gain a deeper understanding of many things, and I will become truly powerful to aid you in fighting our enemies.” Zhang Fei stared at Xu Lingʼer dumbfounded, especially since her thoughts were much more positive than his or her motherʼs. ”Moreover, I will become a gorgeous and sexy woman when I grow up, and you will pay more attention to me.”

”Hahaha!” Zhang Fei laughed heartily and pinched her nose. ”Even if you become gorgeous and sexy, I will not give my attention to you alone, and I will always pay attention to all of you equally.”

”Humph.” Xu Lingʼer snorted softly. ”Once I grow up, I will seduce you every day, and you will only pay attention to me.”

”You can try it then.”
