Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 373: Zhang Xiaolongʼs Plans

Zhang Xiaolong smiled faintly as he looked at the map. ”Honestly, I still donʼt want to go to that place, especially since my strength is still not enough to deal with its inhabitants. However, I have no other choice now, so I will lure those heavenly foxes there, and I hope they have the guts to follow me.”

[Master, I think itʼs not a problem for you to go to that place, especially since you have your invisibility ability and the others. However, Iʼm not sure if those heavenly foxes dare to follow you, especially since the aura in that place will still affect them even if they have the light element.]

”Yeah.” Zhang Xiaolong nodded in agreement with Mei. ”Before I lure them to that place, I will use them to reduce the number of those heretics, so our enemies will be even fewer.”

Zhang Xiaolong then contacted Xie Jingxian, Pang Hong, and Pang Gui. He asked them to spread the news of the arrival of the three heavenly foxes to those heretic clans, especially the Pang Clan, because those ancestors went into seclusion in that clan.

[Haha! Master, you are truly evil!]

”Hehe.” Zhang Xiaolong chuckled in response. ”Naturally, I canʼt throw away every opportunity that comes my way, right? Since Tian Jiyuanʼs cultivation has reached the quasi-divine realm, and he came here to hunt me down, I have to take advantage of him, right?”

As Zhang Xiaolong ordered, his three slaves immediately moved to spread the news of the arrival of the three heavenly foxes, and those clans immediately sent some of their strong men to confront them. Even Heltia, who controlled Mo Xuanqing, was confident enough to face them by herself.

After he saw the movement of those people on his map, Zhang Xiaolong immediately left his hiding place, using his invisibility, and disappeared into the darkness of the night sky.

With his cultivation and teleportation ability, Tian Jiyuan had already arrived in the center area of the Northern Region, and the three foxes on his back immediately came down from above him, allowing him to return to his human form.

”Hmm?” Tian Jiyuan immediately frowned when he sensed the aura of many heretic cultivators heading their way, and he immediately spoke to the three of them. ”Those heretics are on their way here, and the strongest among them is at the 1-Star Sovereign Realm. Moreover, I can smell the scent of a demon from that person, so you guys should be careful.”

”Yes, Senior.” Tian Wangzhi, Tian Gongzhu, and Hu Xiufu answered at the same time. They then took out their respective weapons and enveloped their bodies with their light element.

As for Tian Jiyuan, he stood in his spot with a relaxed manner, especially since those heretics were clearly not his match, and he could kill them whenever he wanted.

Zhang Xiaolong watched the four of them from behind the darkness of the night, but he was more interested in Hu Xiufu and Tian Gongzhu, so he thought of a way to capture them, especially since their Yin Qi and beast essence would be very useful to him.

After they waited for some time, Mo Xuanqing and the other heretics arrived at the area, but they became tense after they saw Tian Jiyuan, especially since they couldnʼt sense his cultivation. Before they could react, he had already released his aura and enveloped them with it, and he also exerted his pressure on them, causing them to fall to the ground instantly.

”Do you think weak cultivators like you can block my way?” Tian Jiyuan asked as he walked towards them, but he then stopped in front of Mo Xuanqing before grabbing her neck, and he lifted her up. ”You are the demon who invaded this realm in the past, right? You donʼt need to deny it, as I have the ability to see into your soul.

Since there are two souls in this body, your soul has taken control of this womanʼs body.”

Tian Jiyuanʼs words shocked Mo Xuanqing, especially since no one should be able to know about it, and she asked him with a trembling voice. ”Who... who are you?”

”A lowly demon like you is not worthy to know my name.” Tian Jiyuan then touched Mo Xuanqingʼs chest and poured his light qi into her body, causing her to scream in pain, especially since the light element was the nemesis of darkness cultivators and demons. ”Letʼs see how long you can last under my light element torture.”

”Argh!” As she continued to scream in pain, Mo Xuanqing struggled to break free from Tian Jiyuanʼs grip, but her efforts were in vain, with their cultivation gap three major levels apart.

The other heretic cultivators, who were still suppressed on the ground by Tian Jiyuan, were horrified by his actions against Mo Xuanqing. They believed that he would also torture them, so they directly told the members of their clans not to leave their residence, and they also asked them to activate the barrier in their clan.

In the end, Heltia decided to abandon Mo Xuanqingʼs body, and she turned into black smoke to escape from that place. However, Tian Jiyuan would not let her escape so easily, and he immediately threw a white net towards her, trapping her within it.

Heltia struggled to escape, but the white net actually entangled her body even tighter, and her current form couldnʼt get out of it. ʼDamn it! What kind of net is this? How can this net lock up my soul?ʼ

”Heh!” Tian Jiyuan snorted and threw the still unconscious Mu Xuanqing to the ground. However, he frowned at her sudden disappearance, and immediately spread his senses throughout the area to search for her.

Tian Wangzhi and Tian Gongzhu also spread their senses to investigate the area around them, but unfortunately, their efforts were in vain, especially since they could not detect anything.

”Damn it! Where did that woman go?” Tian Wangzhi wondered as he cursed.

Tian Gongzhu immediately spoke to Tian Jiyuan. ”Senior brother, could it be that the person who took the woman away had the invisibility ability like our ancestor? Do you think that guy is the culprit? After all, he is the only heavenly fox living in this realm, so I am sure he is the culprit.”

”Yes.” Tian Jiyuan nodded in agreement with Tian Gongzhu. ”Iʼm sure that the culprit must be him, and he must have the invisibility ability like Ancestor Baitan.”

”How can Zhang Fei move that fast with his cultivation still in the soul realm, senior brother?” Tian Wangzhi asked Tian Jiyuan. ”Moreover, your cultivation is in the quasi-divine realm, so your speed should be much faster than his, but you didnʼt even have time to react.”

”I-”

”Ahh!” Hu Xiufuʼs scream startled the three of them before Tian Jiyuan could finish his sentence, and she also vanished from that location.

”Shit!” Tian Gongzhu immediately cursed because she wanted to take Hu Xiufu with him, and she spun around on the spot while looking at the surrounding area. ”Bastard! I know youʼre here! Return the girl to me! Otherwise, Iʼll make you regret it, and Iʼll kill everyone in the Chu Clan!”

Zhang Xiaolong was furious at Tian Gongzhuʼs threat, but he quickly controlled his anger, especially since there was no way he could do anything to her with Tian Jiyuan present among them. He then knocked Hu Xiufu unconscious, and he immediately sealed the cultivation of the two women before sending them into the training space.

*Bam*

The ground beneath Tian Gongzhuʼs feet exploded as she stomped her right leg onto the ground, and her expression was completely furious. ”That bastard! I-”

”Enough.” Tian Jiyuan immediately stopped Tian Gongzhu. ”We are heavenly foxes, and our race is superior to humans, so you donʼt need to kill them. Moreover, Ancestor Baixing will find out about your actions, and she will punish you if you kill them.”

Tian Gongzhu immediately swallowed her saliva as soon as Tian Jiyuan mentioned Tian Baixingʼs name, especially since their female ancestor could read their memories, and she didnʼt like it when they killed creatures that were weaker than them, especially humans.

”Since that girl has fallen into his hands, you can forget about her. Moreover, there are still two other moon foxes in the city, so you can take them with you.” Tian Gongzhu looked disappointed to hear that, especially since Hu Qianli and Hu Hong were not as attractive as Hu Xiufu. However, she immediately nodded to Tian Jiyuan, who then walked over to Heltia and squatted down beside her.

”Are you curious about this net? This is a demon-suppressing net, and we purposely created it because there are so many demons trying to invade our realm. Moreover, they are much stronger than your demon race, but they canʼt escape from it, let alone a lowly demon like you.

Honestly, I never liked to help humans, especially since they are just stupid and greedy living beings, but I dislike demons like you even more.”

”Argh!” Heltia once again let out a scream of pain, especially as Tian Jiyuan channeled his light qi into the net, and her soul quickly faded away. ”Argh! Stop it! Iʼll die if you do this.”

”Why should I care if you die?” Tian Jiyuan asked with a sneer. ”Demons are the most disgusting creatures in this universe, and you all must die.”

”Argh... No... I donʼt want to die!”

Unlike Tian Jiyuan and the two heavenly foxes, who did not care about Heltiaʼs screams, the heretic cultivators were increasingly horrified by her screams, and they could see her soul continuing to fade as time passed.

In the end, Heltiaʼs soul disappeared completely, so her screams were no longer heard in their ears, and Tian Jiyuan immediately stored the demon suppressing net into his storage ring. He then stood up and looked at those heretics, and he smiled faintly before shooting several light qi arrows at them, which directly penetrated their bodies and killed them from the inside.

After witnessing his actions, Tian Gongzhu pouted her lips and complained to Tian Jiyuan. ”Senior brother! You forbade me to kill humans, but you killed so many humans yourself!”

”Haha.” Tian Jiyuan laughed after listening to Tian Gongzhuʼs complaints. ”Even though they are humans, they collaborated with that female demon. Thatʼs why they deserve to die, and Ancestor Baixing will not punish me for killing them.”

Tian Jiyuan then looked up at the sky and calmly spoke. ”I canʼt see you, but Iʼm sure that youʼre still here, so you should come out now, and we can talk.”

However, Tian Jiyuan and the two heavenly foxes frowned as a gate appeared in the sky, and Zhang Xiaolong appeared in the middle of the gate. ”Do you think Iʼll believe you? Although my cultivation is still below yours, I am not stupid, and I know that the three of you came to this realm to capture me, so I will not go down there.

If you really want to do it, then you can follow me, but only if you have the guts to do it.”

After he said that, Zhang Xiaolong entered the gate directly, which caused them to frown even more. Without hesitation, Tian Wangzhi and Tian Gongzhu immediately rushed over and entered the gate as well, especially since they were so irritated that he looked down on them.

Moreover, they also have the ability to open gates like him, so they can leave at any time from that place if it is too dangerous for them.

Tian Jiyuan could only shake his head and sigh softly because his two juniors were too rash, especially since he could feel strong demon auras from the place behind the gate. Even so, he couldnʼt let them go there by themselves, so he immediately rushed into the gate, which immediately closed by itself.

Tian Wangzhi and Tian Gongzhu looked shocked as soon as they arrived in the realm, especially since there was only darkness there. Even so, they could see countless crystals in the location below them, and they provide dim lighting to the entire area.

Tian Jiyuan, who appeared behind them, immediately informed them. ”I donʼt know why he chose this realm, but it is definitely a demon realm, so you two better cover yourselves with your light qi. Furthermore, I can sense that this realm has many powerful demons, some stronger than me, so you two must be careful. Otherwise, I wonʼt be able to save you, and we might die in this place.”

”What?” Tian Wangzhi and Tian Gongzhu exclaimed as they turned to Tian Jiyuan, and they immediately enveloped their bodies with their light qi. ”Do you know where this demon realm is located, Senior Brother? Is this realm in the lower, middle, or upper realms?”

”I donʼt know.” Tian Jiyuan answered with a shake of his head. ”Anyway, we canʼt stay in this realm for too long, or the demon aura in this realm will affect us, and we will turn into demon beasts. Thatʼs why we must move quickly to find him, and we will leave this realm immediately after we succeed in doing so.”

”But how are we going to find that bastard, senior brother?” Tian Gongzhu inquired as she surveyed their surroundings. ”That bastard has an invisibility ability; even you canʼt sense his presence. Moreover, this realm seems to be much larger than our realm, and we will definitely have a hard time finding him.”

Unlike her, Tian Wangzhi had a different opinion, and he asked Tian Jiyuan. ”Do you think he is toying with us, senior brother? After all, the demon aura in this realm will also affect him, so I donʼt believe that he will hide here for too long, and he might have returned to the Sky Jade Realm by now.”

”That possibility exists.” Tian Jiyuan replied with an affirmative nod. ”In that case, I want one of you to return to that realm and monitor that clan, and you can capture him directly if he appears there.”

Unfortunately, they did not know that Zhang Xiaolong himself was a demon, so the demon aura in the realm would have no effect on him.

Tian Gongzhu immediately turned to Tian Wangzhi. ”Brother! You must return to that realm now! Iʼll accompany our senior brother to look for that bastard in this realm.”

After Tian Wangzhi disappeared from their sight, Tian Jiyuan and Tian Gongzhu immediately flew to look for Zhang Xiaolong, and they did so while suppressing their auras as much as possible, preventing the demons of the realm from detecting their presence.
