Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1001: New Prisoner

Zhang Xiaolong [3] sighed in disappointment after he examined Gu Changsheng. ”I can’t do anything to this old man’s soul, especially since his soul power is so high. Moreover, he planted some strange Gu insects into his soul, and they will attack me back if I try to do anything to his soul.”

”Can’t your friends take out those Gu insects from his body?”

”No.” Zhang Xiaolong shook his head in response to Tian Kui. ”The Gu insects inside this old man’s body are ancient Gu insects, so they can’t do anything to them. At first, I wanted to take him to my private space, but I was worried that he would release his Gu insects there and kill my prisoners, so I gave up on my idea.”

”So, what do you want to do to this man?” Serpentera asked him.

”Hmm?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately checked Gu Changsheng’s mind. ”Hahaha! This old man is overly confident in himself and doesn’t protect his mind, and I can still control him without having to enslave him.”

”Do you want to manipulate his mind?”

”Yeah.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately used his memory manipulation ability on Gu Changsheng. However, he did not change too many of his memories to avoid people’s suspicions, especially the members of the Gu Clan and all the clans related to them. He added new memories, all related to him, to the old man’s existing ones.

After he finished, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately woke Gu Changsheng up, and the old man knelt on one knee before him without the slightest hesitation. ”Master.”

’This kid! He has too many evil abilities!’ Serpentera and Tian Kui shouted in their hearts, but they were even more certain of their decision to follow Zhang Xiaolong [3].

”Hahaha!” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed in satisfaction, especially since Gu Changsheng was one of the oldest and strongest cultivators in the Three Mortal Realms. He suddenly remembered something and asked the old man. ”Do you have a spare Gu Heart?”

”Unfortunately, I don’t have it, Master.” Gu Changsheng replied disappointedly. ”However, I can create one for you, but I need three months for that.”

”Only three months?”

”Yes, Master.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] exhaled heavily after hearing that, especially since Li Tiannan and Gu Jinling had been working hard for more than two years. However, despite their efforts, they still hadn’t managed to create the Gu Heart, while Gu Changsheng was able to accomplish it in just three months. ”Go back to your clan and create the Gu Heart for me, and I want you to teach me all about Gu Insect after.”

”Yes, Master.” Gu Changsheng instantly disappeared from their sight.

”Do you really want to learn the Gu technique, Kid? Do you know that Gu cultivators are considered heretics in the Paradise Realm?” Serpentera asked with a serious tone.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] actually smiled at that. ”Did you forget that I am a transcendent lust demon? Doesn’t that mean I was already a heretic from the start?”

”Yeah.” Serpentera nodded in response. ”However, Gu cultivators are viewed differently, and people hate them significantly more than they hate demons. If they know you’re a demon and Gu cultivator, you’ll be the most wanted person in the Paradise Realm.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] shrugged casually. ”If they find out about it and hunt me down, I’ll hide in my personal space until I become truly powerful. Once I achieve true power, I’ll hunt them down again, and I’ll kill them down to their roots.”

”Hahaha.” Tian Kui laughed and patted his shoulder. ”I don’t really like killing, but I really like your mindset, and I’ll support you if you kill all your enemies, Kid.”

”Don’t like killing my ass!” Serpentera cursed at his old friend. ”Did you forget how many people you killed when my late master took us to escape from the Paradise Realm back then? You killed more than a hundred thousand living beings!”

”More than a hundred thousand living beings?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at Tian Kui in shock.

Tian Kui rubbed his head while smiling to himself. ”They were controlled by the primordial nihility beast, and they surrounded the three of us from all directions, so I devoured them alive in order to save ourselves. Actually, Old Snake was more terrifying than me, and the number of his victims was far greater than mine.”

”How many did you kill back then?”

Serpentera shook his head at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”We were in a desperate situation at the time, so I don’t remember how many living beings I killed at that time, but I remember killing the people who got in our way.”

”Tch! Such a liar! You compared your number of victims with mine back then, so there’s no way you can’t remember it!” Tian Kui then told Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”He killed at least five hundred thousand living beings at that time because he was on the front line with his late master, and his late master killed more than that.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] took a deep breath after hearing that. Throughout this time, he believed that he had taken too many lives, but in reality, the number of his victims was insignificant compared to theirs. ”You two are truly terrifying! Fortunately, you two are not my enemies, or I would have died long ago.”

”Hahaha.” Tian Kui laughed at that.

Unlike his friend, Serpentera immediately reminded Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Kid, we are not your enemies now, but we might become your enemies in the future. If that happens, I hope you won’t hesitate to kill us, or we’ll kill you and your loved ones.”

”What do you mean by that?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked with a frown.

Serpentera immediately explained to him. ”As Old Kui said just now, the primordial nihility beast controlled those living beings to hunt us back then, and we once fell under his control. Fortunately, my late master had a secret technique, and he managed to break his control over us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be standing together today, especially since we would have died at his hands.”

”I see.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in understanding. ”I don’t know the true strength of the primordial nihility beast yet, and I also don’t have any information about its abilities. However, I might be able to do something to prevent such a thing from happening, but I don’t have the right method for that right now.”

”That’s still far off, so don’t worry about it and focus on the current issue.” After that, Serpentera and Tian Kui leave the area.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a soft sigh and went into the eastern forest, especially since he left Yuan Tianling there.

When Zhang Xiaolong [3] arrived there, Jia Yuyan was already waiting for him. ”Did you wait for me on purpose?”

”Yes.” Jia Yuyan then asked Zhang Xiaolong [3] about Gu Changsheng and the Leng Clan, and he explained everything to her. ”Are you sure there won’t be any problems with that old man?”

”I’ve always been confident in my memory manipulation abilities, so you don’t need to worry about that. I’m sure Gu Changsheng won’t be able to restore his memories, and the people in their group won’t realize it.” Jia Yuyan then led Zhang Xiaolong [3] to enter the underground passage. ”Leng Hua and the Leng Clan are in my control now, so we just need to wait for Cao Ren and the Cao Clan to return.”

Jia Yuyan sighed heavily, remembering the Cao Clan. ”If only Cao Ren wasn’t so ambitious, the situation in this realm would be completely safe, and we could live here in peace.”

”We can’t do anything about it, right?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled bitterly in response. ”Ambition is a part of our life, and it is our ambition that keeps pushing us to move forward. If we didn’t have ambition in our lives, we would never have reached this point, and our lifespan would have run out long ago. However, many individuals possess excessive ambition and do not hesitate to sacrifice others, such as Cao Ren, in order to achieve their goals. His ancestor, along with the ancestors of the other clans, was one of the founders of this realm, and they coexisted peacefully for millions of years. However, he brought about drastic changes to this realm, which was due to his personal ambition to become the sole ruler.”

Jia Yuyan nodded to him. ”That’s why this universe needs a savior to bring back peace, and you are the chosen one.”

”Stop talking about the savior and the writing, okay?” Jia Yuyan turned to Zhang Xiaolong [3] in confusion. ”I’m not a villain, but I’m not a hero or a savior either, and I have never been interested in saving this universe. I make every effort to protect myself and those closest to me, and if they put me in a difficult situation, I will not hesitate to bring chaos to this universe.”

”Then, why are you helping people in this realm?”

Black lines appeared on Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s forehead, making Jia Yuyan realize that she had asked the wrong question. He immediately hugged her and kissed her for a moment. ”Who revealed so much about me to Tian Jingxuan and the others? I originally didn’t want to get too close to them, but you repeatedly pushed me to them, remember?”

”I’m sorry, okay?”

”Sigh.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] didn’t say anything else and dragged her out of the underground passage as quickly as possible.

When they arrived there, the other natural races had not yet started their activities because it was dawn, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] found Yuan Tianling staying at Ren Xiyi’s house.

”You can go to the Life Pond, and I will return to my hut now.” Jia Yuyan hurriedly left him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] wanted to follow Jia Yuyan, but he found Qian Shuang sleeping under a big tree a little away from his location. He remembered that he had promised to talk to her, but he was too focused on his cultivation at the Life Pond and had forgotten about it.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then approached Qian Shuang, sat beside her, and leaned her head against her shoulder.

Qian Shuang opened her eyes for a moment and looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3], but she immediately closed her eyes again and continued sleeping while hugging him.

’This girl is too innocent.’ Zhang Xiaolong [3] embraced her and removed the effects of his demon charm from her. He briefly thought about erasing her memories of him, but he canceled his intention and used his dream technique to meet Shangguan Yan in her dream.

In the inn, Zhang Fei [5], who was accompanying Leng Xueyan to sleep, suddenly detected someone’s movement. He naturally knew that the person was Leng Hua’s subordinate, Leng Xiulan.

Zhang Fei [5] enveloped Leng Xueyan with his aura before using his lust domain, so she would not be affected by some of its effects.

As soon as she entered the room, Leng Xiulan immediately fell into the sexual illusion trap of Zhang Fei [5]’s domain, and her face turned extremely red because of the illusion that appeared in front of her. However, his domain started absorbing her Yin Qi before channeling it into his body, gradually weakening her. ’Haha! I’m lucky because her cultivation is in the 1-Moon Divine Ascension Realm, and her Yin Qi is also stronger than the average woman. Moreover, I have five empty rooms in the Yin-Yang Space, and I will continuously milk out her Yin Qi until I reach that stage.’

[Why don’t you stimulate this woman and have sex with her, Master?]

’What if I had sex with you, Mei?’

[Humph! Keep dreaming!]

’Hehe.’ Zhang Fei [5] chuckled in response. ’I always hope that you have a soul, and I will help you shape your body. That way, we can be together for real.’

Mei did not respond to Zhang Fei, but she secretly contemplated his words and immediately began to explore the system as thoroughly as possible to find an answer.

After Leng Xiulan was completely weakened, Zhang Fei [5] deactivated his domain and hurriedly sealed her cultivation. After he sent her into the Yin-Yang Space, he continued to accompany Leng Xueyan.
