Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 738: Meet Duan Zhao And Disciples

”What happened? Why is your expression so serious?” Fei Qinyuan asked her husband.

Shang Huaqiang immediately told his wife about Cheng Gaoji. ”He told me that he had arrived at the Sky Jade Realm yesterday, but I couldnʼt contact him after that.”

”If I remember correctly, Feng Yaoʼs cultivation should still be at the Divine Manifestation Realm, so she shouldnʼt be able to do anything to Cheng Gaoji.” Fei Qinyuan paused and thought about some things. ”The only thing I can think of is that she called someone else from the Phoenix Race to help her after she destroyed our portal, and that person is stronger than him. If thatʼs true, our plan will fail once again if we move too hastily. Therefore, we have to send some people to that realm to monitor the situation, and we will order those four people to move if the situation permits.”

Shang Huaqiang nodded in agreement. ”Iʼve thought about it, and Iʼve already selected two people to go to that realm. Iʼll contact them now, and Iʼll ask them to leave directly.”

”Who are those two people?”

”Wang Xinlei and Dai Ziwei.” Fei Qinyuan was surprised to hear those two names from Shang Huaqiang. ”The Wang and Dai clans have decided to side with us, and I asked them to prove their loyalty to me, so Wang Jinghsan and Dai Guowei sent their sons. Although they are not their strongest sons, they should be enough to check the situation there, and Feng Yao will never realize that they are our people.”

”I hope Feng Yao really wonʼt recognize them.” Fei Qinyuan then looked for someone in their clan, but she couldnʼt find that person. ”Where did Ziyuan go? I never saw her again after she visited the Ren Clan.”

Shang Huaqiang released a soft sigh. ”Since the people she sent still couldnʼt find Shang Baishi and Shang Xiaoyin, Ziyuan decided to go look for them herself. She suspected that they had gone to the lower realms, so she looked for them there.”

”The lower realms?”

”Yes.” Shang Huaqiang nodded and explained. ”Shang Baishi is not stupid; Ziyuan is certain that he would not take her daughter to another realm in the middle or upper realms, especially since we can find them more easily. Therefore, his best choice was to take Shang Xiaoyin to the lower realm, especially since we wouldnʼt expect the two of them to go there. Moreover, the lower realms are not as extensive as the middle or upper realms, and she is confident she can find them by herself.”

”The lower realms are not as extensive as the middle or upper realms, but Iʼm sure Ziyuan wonʼt be able to find them by herself. I think we should send some people to help her, or she will waste a lot of time looking for them, which would slow down our plans.” After her husband agreed, Fei Qinyuan contacted several people to help Shang Zhiyuan. ”What about Wang Xinlei and Dai Ziwei?”

”They will leave today using the best artifacts their clans have.”

”Thatʼs good.” Fei Qinyuan then stood up. ”I will return to my Fei Clan for a few days, and I will prepare them to carry out our other plans.”

”All right.”

At the Murong Clan, Ai Weiren came to Murong Qianying in her private room. ”Qianying, I still want to stay here, but I have other matters to attend to, so I have to leave now. However, I will come back here again after my matters are finished, but I donʼt know how long it will take to finish, so you should think about your own safety.”

”You can leave if you have important business, and I have a plan to protect my clan.” Murong Qianying then asked. ”Are you bringing Shang Xiaojuan with you?”

”No.” Ai Weiren replied with a shake of her head. ”Xiaojuan got information about the Sun Tower from people in the Wasteland Realm, and he left for the Blossom Heaven Realm a week ago. Iʼve contacted him just now, and heʼll likely be there in a few days.”

”Oh?” Murong Qianying was surprised to hear that, and she didnʼt even know about it. ”Did he go there by himself?”

Ai Weiren nodded at her. ”Xiaojuan is too stubborn, and he is eager to meet your second daughter, so he rushed there by himself.”

”I see.” Murong Qianying nodded in understanding. ”Unfortunately, Xiaojuan was too stupid, and his efforts would only end in vain. The Sun Tower was not as simple as he thought, and there were many tough challenges in it. In fact, my second daughter went there with Senior Hun Di, Senior Xia Tian, ​​and the others.”

”Oh?” This time, Ai Weiren was surprised because she knew nothing about the Sun Tower. ”Do you know about the challenges in the tower?”

Murong Qianying shook her head in response. ”I only know the outline of the Sun Tower, but I donʼt have any specific information about the tower, and we suspect that the tower is the key to going to the realms beyond these upper realms. Therefore, Senior Hun Di and Senior Xia Tian wanted to check it out in person, and they brought some of our younger generation with them, including my niece, son, and second daughter.”

”Why donʼt you join them?”

”Can I leave with my clanʼs situation like this?” Murong Qianying turned to ask with a soft sigh. ”Honestly, I was curious about the Sun Tower, and I wanted to try facing those challenges. However, Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan would directly attack my clan if I went there, so I abandoned my wish.”

Ai Weiren fell into contemplation for quite a while, but she immediately stood up. ”Hey, Iʼll use your clan portal to go to the Wasteland Realm.”

”Are you thinking of going to the Blossom Heaven Realm? What about your business?” Murong Qianying asked with a frown.

Ai Weiren raised both hands. ”My business is not more important than the realms beyond these upper realms, so I want to go to the Blossom Heaven Realm to check out that tower.”

”You can go to the back because my clanʼs portal is there.” After Ai Weiren left, Murong Qianying immediately gathered her clan members and ordered them to pack up all the valuables in their clan. ʼSigh! I donʼt want to do this, but my best option is to move them to the Hong Clan, and we will be safe there.ʼ

Murong Qianying then took out her interspatial communication device and contacted Hong Xinxin, who now lives in the Nine Stars Realm. She also contacted Cai Yinzhi to inform her of her plans, which she immediately agreed to.

In the bathroom, Hong Xinxin told Zhang Xiaolong [3] about Murong Qianyungʼs decision to bring her Murong Clan to her Hong Clan. ”Sister Qianying decided it like that because Ai Weiren decided to go to the Blossom Heaven Realm, and she doubted that my two seniors were enough to protect them from Shang Huaqiang.”

”Retreating does not mean losing, and we can make a better plan to strike back, so Murong Qianying has made the right decision about that.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then asked her. ”Do you want to go back to the Hong Clan now?”

Hong Xinxin nodded at him. ”I think I should go back there, and then I will go straight to the Murong Clan so I can help Sister Qianying directly. However, it will probably take a few days, so I canʼt help you to temper your body for the time being, and you can use all the Jiashen Liquid I gave you.”

”Thatʼs not a problem.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the portal to the Hong Clan. ”Inform me if Murong Qianying wants to see me, and I will bring Lianzhi and the others back to the Azure Sky Realm to avoid arousing her suspicion.”

”Anyway, give me some more of your Yang Qi, especially since itʼs been almost a month since I last gave it to Mai Xiaomeng.” After Zhang Xiaolong [3] gave her a thousand bottles, Hong Xinxin immediately disappeared into the portal. He then closed his eyes again and continued to absorb the Jianshen Liquid inside the wooden tub. ”As long as the matter with the Shang Clan is not settled, I will never be able to rest easy. Unfortunately, they are still too strong for me, so I must find other ways to destroy them gradually.”

As she had originally planned, Hong Xinxin went straight to Mai Xiaomeng to hand over Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs Yang Qi to her. After that, she went to the Murong Clan to help Murong Qianying, but the female cat beast decided to go with her.

Zhang Fei [5] opened his eyes after the two notifications appeared. ”The elements in this place are indeed stronger than outside, but my other three elements will not be able to reach the peak stage anytime soon.”

After he asked the salamander and the dark fairy to return to his body, Zhang Fei [5] immediately left the elemental chamber and went to the border of Yun Kingdom, where he met Zhou Hanling, Zhou Fanzhi, and Zhou Fenghu.

Zhou Hanling then asked him. ”What should we do next, Master? Zhou Xiaochuan threatened to kill us if we didnʼt attack the Yun Kingdom.”

Zhang Fei [5] raised an eyebrow slightly before opening the map. He looked for an empty location to move Zhou Xiaochuanʼs troops, especially since their numbers were so large. ”There is an empty island to the east of the Yun Kingdom, and it is quite large, so you guys can move these troops there for the time being. Once everything is ready, the three of you will bring them back here, and we will immediately take over the Zhou Kingdom from his hands.”

”How are we going to go there without passing through the Yun Kingdom, Master?” Zhou Fenghu asked.

”Wait here first.” Zhang Fei [5] immediately disappeared from going to the empty island. After he installed half of the teleportation device there, he returned to Zhou Fenghu and the others, and he installed the other half in the forest not far from the location. ”You guys can lead them there using this device, and you can come back here to buy additional supplies for them later.”

”Yes, Master.”

Although Zhou Xiaochuanʼs troops were confused by the three menʼs decision, none of them dared disobey their orders. They immediately followed their orders to use the teleportation device to reach the empty island.

After that, Zhang Fei [5] did not immediately return to the elemental chamber but infiltrated the Zhou Royal Palace. He found Zhou Xiaochuan in his six wivesʼ bedroom with a gloomy expression, but he did not meet him and went to several places there. He used his plant generation ability to create several things, leaving them in those places. ʼGradually, that guy will suffer from their effects, and I can deal with him more easily.ʼ

After that, Zhang Fei [5] returned to the elemental chamber and began to absorb the four elements inside. Naturally, the salamander and the dark fairy came out of his body, and both absorbed the fire and darkness elements in that place.

Quickly, three days passed, and today was the day the blacksmiths from the Divine Flame Realm arrived. However, Zhang Fei had no intention of coming out of his seclusion, and he used his fifth clone to go to Duan Zhaoʼs residence.

When Zhang Fei [5] arrived there, Duan Zhao was gathering with Gang Zhishou and his other disciples. However, the presence of another man surprised him, and he was Duan Lingtian, the shop owner he first met when he arrived at Xian Royal Capital. ”I didnʼt expect to meet you here, Old Duan.”

”Hahaha.” Duan Ling Tian laughed upon hearing this. ”Old Zhao is my brother, and the blacksmith competition is important to him and his disciples, so I donʼt want to miss it. However, I didnʼt expect that the kid I met more than four months ago has improved so much in several aspects, and you are now the son-in-law of the Xian and Yun Kingdoms. Furthermore, I have heard from my brother about all your actions in the Bai and Zhou Kingdoms, and I guess you have also done something to the Huangfu Kingdom. In addition, I heard that you have eliminated all the Alchemy Union branches in the four kingdoms.”

”Youʼre right, Old Duan. The Alchemy Union no longer exists in this realm, and I took over their last shop in the Zhou Kingdom four days ago. Luo Xuejia, Yi Zuoli, and Pei Yun are my subordinates now. As for the three kingdoms, I havenʼt done too much against them, but Iʼve made some plans against them, and Iʼll execute them all when Iʼm truly ready.” Duan Lingtian nodded in understanding while stroking his beard. Zhang Fei [5] then sat down in front of them before asking Duan Zhao. ”So when will those people arrive here, Senior?”

”Their leaders informed me that they are not far from this realm, and they will arrive here in about six hours, so we can only wait for them to arrive. Moreover, the competition will only start tomorrow morning, so we donʼt need to rush.” Duan Zhao then took out the weapon design. ”Are you sure you want to create this weapon?”

”Even though Iʼm not a swordmaster, my main weapon is a sword, so I think your idea for my new weapon is really interesting, and I want to make it.” Zhang Fei [5] then gave a storage ring to Duan Zhao. ”There are ten million blue jewels inside, so you can use them to pay for the Luminous Qi Crystal, Senior.”

Duan Zhao was really surprised to hear that Zhang Fei [5] had collected so many blue jewels in less than two months. However, he remembered about all his shops, so he accepted it without asking anything. ”My old friend will arrive tomorrow evening to deliver the Luminous Qi Crystal, and I will start crafting your new weapon after the blacksmith competition is over.”

”How long will the competition last?”

”I canʼt say for sure.” Duan Zhao then looked at his four disciples. ”Usually, the competition will last for three days, but that only applies if only four of them are competing. This time, their disciples will also be competing with the younger generation of the Divine Flame Realm, so the competition might last a little longer.”

Zhang Fei [5] then opened the map and looked for the disciples of Duan Zhouʼs three disciples. He found them not far from the residence, and they were making final preparations to face the competition.

”Zhang Fei, can we test your strength?” Zhang Fei [5] immediately turned to Lu Zhong and Ah Hu. ”We are not looking down on you, and we are just curious about your true strength. Moreover, your cultivation has broken through several minor stages since Xian Xian last met you, so we want to test it out.”

Xian Xian shook her head before speaking to Zhang Fei [5]. ”I have warned them not to do so, but they are basically curious people. Therefore, you can show them your strength, but you must hold back, or theyʼll get injured and canʼt compete tomorrow.”

”Hey! Why are you looking down on us, Xian? The four of us are of equal strength, so we are confident that his attacks will not injure us.” Lu Zhong and Ah Hu immediately protested.

”Itʼs up to you two then.”

Zhang Fei [5] smiled at the two menʼs behavior and immediately agreed with them. As soon as they stood face to face, he attacked them, but he did not use his full strength.

*Bam... Bam...*

”Guah!” Lu Zhong and Ah Hu screamed in pain as they rolled on the ground. ”It fucking hurts!”

”Hahahaha!” Xian Xian laughed out loud. ”I told you two that his attacks are too painful, but you guys are stubborn!”
