Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 798: More Clues About Xereth

Tantai Lingyan nodded in understanding. ”Can you cure me?”

”Iʼm not sure I can cure you, but I can try it first.” Since she had nothing to lose, Tantai Lingyan stretched out her hand to Zhang Xiaolong [3], who immediately grabbed it. She raised her eyebrows slightly, especially when he rubbed the back of her palm. ”Relax yourself, and I will try using my fire element.”

After Tantai Lingyan calmed herself down, Zhang Xiaolong [3] channeled his fire qi into her body, but it surprised her. ʼHis fire qi is different from the ordinary one, and I feel that there are three different flames in his fire qi. One of them is his original flame, and the other is the phoenix flame, but I canʼt recognize the last one.ʼ

Tantai Lingyan wasnʼt wrong about that because Zhang Xiaolong [3] got the phoenix flames from Feng Yao, and the other one was the soul flames, both of which had merged with his original flames thanks to the immortal Yin-Yang Fire Art that he got on the hidden floor of the Star Tower.

”Unfortunately, I canʼt dispel the cold with just my Fire Qi, Senior.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] let go of Tantai Lingyanʼs hand.

”Itʼs okay, I can look for items with high Yang Qi intensity later.” Tantai Lingyan then asked him. ”How did you get the phoenix flames?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was momentarily taken aback. ”Feng Yao is my friend, and she has helped me a lot since I was living in the lower realms.”

”Huh? Are you really good friends with Princess Feng Yao, Junior Brother?” Yan Yinqing asked with a look of disbelief.

”Yeah.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] told them how he came to know Feng Yao and their relationship in the past few months. ”She is in isolation in my realm now.”

”Wow! I didnʼt expect your relationship with Princess Feng Yao to be that close!” Yan Yinqing exclaimed. ”Only a few people often meet her, and they are senior cultivators who know her parents. We, the younger generations, do know her. However, we rarely get to meet her, let alone have a good relationship with her.”

Tantai Lingyan then spoke. ”I have long heard that Princess Feng Yao went to the lower realms, but I donʼt know her purpose for going there. You are truly fortunate to be able to have a good relationship with her because not many people can do that, and it will be beneficial for you if you have a good relationship with the phoenix race; even Little Moxianʼs aunt has deep respect for them. Since you havenʼt fully recovered, my daughter and I wonʼt bother you anymore, and you can rest in peace here.”

”Wait a minute, Senior.” Tantai Lingyan raised an eyebrow as Zhang Xiaolong [3] took out three bottles and handed them to her. ”You can look at their contents later, and they can remove the cold from your veins.”

Tantai Lingyan thought for a moment before receiving all three bottles. After she stored them, she took her daughter away, leaving Zhang Xiaolong [3] to rest.

Lin Moxian immediately sat down on the side chair. ”Are you interested in Aunt Lingyan, Junior Brother? Otherwise, you wonʼt give your Yang Qi to her, right?”

”Haha.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed awkwardly while rubbing his nose. ”Senior Lingyan is a mature and pretty woman, and I prefer a MILF like her the most.”

”What is a MILF?” Lin Moxian had never heard of such a term before, especially since it only existed on Earth. His jaw dropped after Zhang Xiaolong [3] explained the meaning of that term. ”Does that mean you have a lot of MILFs by your side? You even gave Shang Chongyun a green hat by bedding Morung Qianying.”

”Senior brother, my first woman is another manʼs wife, and she has an 11-year-old daughter.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] told him about the accident between him and Ru Xue. ”Back then, I purely considered her to be my big sister, but the accident changed the course of our relationship, and we ended up getting married after she divorced her husband. In fact, I still have four other wives who already have daughters, and their daughters are also my wives.”

Lin Moxian raised both hands in surrender. ”I am your senior in cultivation, but you are far more senior than me when it comes to women. You have many wives and partners, and I have pursued Xi Hongyan for decades, but I have always failed. Why are you more interested in mature women? Is it because they are more experienced?”

”Not really.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head. ”One of my wives is much younger than them, but she is much more experienced than them in such matters, and she taught them many things. Itʼs hard for me to explain it to you, but mature women have their charm, and they always pique my interest. Once you have a relationship with a mature woman, you will definitely understand what I mean.”

Lin Moxian sighed as he shook his head. ”All members of my Li Clan are monogamous, and my grandparents will kill me if I have too many women. My aunt is the most terrible among them, and she will use me as a guinea pig if I have a polygamous relationship. By the way, Aunt Lingyan was already a widow before her daughter was born, so itʼs okay if you want to get her, but your senior sister might be hostile to you if you do that.”

”How did her husband die?”

”A demon.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned at Lin Moxianʼs answer. ”Back then, a powerful male demon attacked the Shandian Realm when Aunt Lingyan was pregnant with her daughter, and many cultivators from that realm died at his hands, including her husband. The Nameless One, the Phoenix Emperor and Empress, and several other powerful cultivators, including my aunt, immediately moved into that realm. Unfortunately, they arrived too late, and the demons had disappeared when they arrived. Since then, they have tried to hunt him down, but they never managed to find his trace. His attack also destroyed several clans in that realm, turning that day into the worst in the realmʼs history.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] thought deeply before asking. ”Have you heard about the incident in the Starry Sky Realm, Senior Brother?”

”Yes.” Lin Moxian immediately told him. ”Unfortunately, the Starry Sky Realm was quite far from this realm, and it was already destroyed when the Nameless One and the others arrived there. The damage and destruction in that realm was the same as what happened in the Shandian Realm, so they thought the culprit was the same demon.”

”Xereth.”

”Hmm?” Lin Moxian raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then summoned the demon extermination sword out. ”This sword was forged by a blacksmith from the Starry Sky Realm, and he forged it specifically to kill Xereth because he slaughtered his family and the entire population of that realm. You said the destruction in that realm was the same as in the Shandian Realm, so I think he attacked it. He also destroyed many other realms, including some realms in the middle realms.”

”How did you know about the demonʼs identity?”

”This sword is a soul weapon, and the blacksmith used the souls of his two dead daughters to forge it.” Lin Moxian was shocked to hear that, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] told him about the Jian Clan. ”Do you know about that clan?”

”In the past, the Jian Clan was one of the best blacksmith clans in the upper realms, and they were more skilled than the Tie clan or others; even Ji Changlan respected them very much. Unfortunately, the Jian clan disappeared along with the destruction of the Starry Sky Realm, and their disappearance was a huge loss for the upper realms.” Lin Moxian rubbed the demon extermination sword. ”I didnʼt expect that two descendants of that clan would still exist inside this sword, but unfortunately, their father had turned them into spirit weapons, so they could no longer reform their bodies. Could you please share any additional information you might have about Xereth?

”Xereth is one of the ancient demons of the Abyssal Realm, and he is the strongest among them.” Lin Moxian naturally knew about the realm, but he did not expect that the two were related to each other. ”After he betrayed their realm and killed their fourth demon emperor, they never saw him again, but they heard all the actions he did in other realms.”

Lin Moxian released a heavy sigh. ”Are you thinking about going to the Starry Sky Realm and hunting down Xereth?”

”Yes.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] showed his determination as he answered. ”This sword has helped me a lot since I got it. I have promised Jian Heiʼan and Jian Guangʼan to bring them back to their home realm, and I will hunt down Xereth to help them take revenge on him.”

Lin Moxian nodded in understanding. ”Since Xereth could destroy so many realms, and he could also evade the pursuit of a powerful cultivator like the Nameless One, his strength must be far beyond our reach. Therefore, you donʼt need to think about him for now, and you can help the two little girls in the sword take revenge when you are truly strong. All right, I will leave you now so you can rest and recover your condition.”

After Lin Moxian left, Zhang Xiaolong [3] rubbed his sword. ”Heiʼan and Guangʼan, we have obtained more clues about Xereth, and we will visit those realms to find out more detailed information about him. Once I become powerful enough, I will hunt him down, and we will sacrifice his blood in your home realm.”

”Zing... Zing... Zing...”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled at seeing the demon extermination sword vibrate in excitement, and he immediately returned it into his body before focusing on stabilizing his cultivation.

Inside the inn room, Tantai Lingyan looked at one of the bottles Zhang Xiaolong [3] had given her earlier, contemplating whether she should open it or not.

”What are you thinking about, Mother? Why do you keep looking at that bottle?” Yan Yinqing asked as she came out of the bathroom in a thin evening gown, flaunting her curvaceous figure and big bosoms.

Tantai Lingyan shook her head slightly. ”Iʼm not doubting your junior brotherʼs good intentions, but I feel hesitant to see the contents of this bottle.”

”Hmm?” Yan Yinqing took the bottle and opened the lid before sniffing it. ”Huh? Mother, the contents of this bottle are Yang Qi, which is probably his Yang Qi.”

Tantai Lingyan furrowed her brows and took the bottle back. ”This Yang Qi indeed belongs to your junior brother, and it is much stronger than the items mentioned by Tian Yishen before.”

”In that case, you can try swallowing this Yang Qi, and it might get rid of the cold in your veins.” Tantai Lingyan looked at her daughter with a strange look. ”Mother, I do not believe it is a significant issue for you to consume it, especially since you are a free woman. If it really can cure you, we donʼt need to go to the trouble of searching for items with high Yang Qi intensity, right?”

Tantai Lingyan nodded slightly and drank the contents of the bottle clean. In a few seconds, she felt her body starting to heat up, so she closed her eyes and spread the effects of Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs Yang Qi throughout her body.

After the effects had completely spread, Tantai Lingyan felt the cold in her veins gradually subside, but it had not entirely subsided. She then took and drank the second bottle before doing the same, and she also drank the third bottle a few minutes later.

Sometime later, Yan Yinqingʼs expression turned to surprise, and she grabbed her motherʼs shoulder to check her condition, discovering that the cold in her veins had almost completely disappeared. ”Incredible! The effect of my junior brotherʼs Yang Qi is truly powerful!”

Shortly after, Tantai Lingyan opened her eyes, and her expression was filled with relief, especially since her Qi flow had returned to normal. ”Your junior brotherʼs Ying Qi is truly extraordinary, Qingʼer. His cultivation is still at the 1-Star Heaven Realm, yet his Yang Qi is comparable to cultivators at the Seven Divine Realm. No! His Yang Qi is stronger than theirs.”

”Is it true?” Since Yan Yinqing was still a virgin, she naturally didnʼt know the difference.

Tantai Lingyan nodded at her. ”I donʼt know how his Yang Qi can be this strong, but if those female dual cultivators knew of his potential, they would definitely flock to him to buy it. Once he breaks through to the Seven Divine Realms, his Yang Qi will be a valuable treasure, and he can sell it for an exorbitant price.”

”Haha.” Yan Yinqing laughed at that. ”Since you have recovered now, you can return to our realm today or tomorrow, but I wonʼt come home with you. Instead, I want to go with my senior brother and junior brother to the Void Heaven Realm to meet Senior Jingxia, and I will go with them to the other realms after that.”

”Hmm?” Yan Yinqing then told Tantai Lingyan about the tower, which piqued her interest. ”I will contact your grandparents now, and I will join you guys to challenge the tower.”

Yan Yinqing was momentarily taken aback. ”Thatʼs good then; our party will be even more lively.”

At noon, the Huangfu Royal Palace and their royal capital were filled with people, especially since today was the day of Huangfu Lianʼs coronation as their emperor. Ling Baozi and Huangfu Ziyuan ordered all the citizens of the kingdom to attend the event.

The coronation ceremony did not last too long. Huangfu Lian, accompanied by his parents and brothers, immediately met a sea of ​​people who had been waiting for him in the city.

From the balcony of the royal palace, Huangfu Lian gave his first speech as the new emperor, and everyone cheered in joy, both those who agreed and those who disagreed with him becoming their emperor.

After everything was done, Huangfu Lian immediately presided over the first state meeting, and Huangfu Shou joined them based on Li Tiannanʼs order.

Helian Yueyi did not join them and returned to her tent directly, but she felt very anxious because Zhang Fei could appear at any time. Even though the fake Ruo Yanxi had offered to replace her to carry out his orders, she still had no heart for her husband to die. ”What should I do now? He will definitely come here today, and he will undoubtedly kill my children if my husband is not dead yet.”

Just as Helian Yueyi was thinking about that, Zhang Fei [5] suddenly appeared in her room. He came together with Hong Xinxin and Shang Yumei, who restrained her two daughters, causing her to be thrown into a great panic.

Zhang Fei [5] intentionally brought Hong Xinxin and Shang Yumei with him because his condition had not fully recovered, and he was worried that he would not be able to fight Helian Yueyi if she tried to fight him back.

Helian Yueyi, who had reached a dead end, immediately ran to Zhang Fei [5] and threw herself in front of him. ”Please! I beg you! Donʼt kill my daughters!”

”Iʼve given you plenty of time to think about it, but you wasted the chance I gave you to save your daughters.” Zhang Fei [5] lifted Helian Yueyi to her feet. ”Since you chose your husbandʼs life over your two daughters, you can watch them die with your own eyes.”

Helian Yueyi shook her head vigorously as tears streamed down from her eyes. ”No! No! Please! Zhang Fei! Donʼt kill my daughters! They are my everything, and I donʼt know what I should do if they die.”

Hong Xinxin and Shang Yumei felt sorry watching Helian Yueyiʼs situation, but they said nothing and waited for Zhang Fei [5]ʼs next move.

”I will give you one last chance.” Shang Yumei disappeared as soon as Zhang Fei [5] turned to her, and she returned with Huangfu Shou moments later. He then gave the Hongxi dagger to Helian Yueyi. ”Kill him, and I will spare you and your children.”
