Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1505: The Moon Tower

”Do you want to meet Senior Yue Liangyu inside the Moon Tower?”

Tianshi Shengjie nodded at them and pointed to Zhang Fei [4]. ”My friend came from the Three Mortal Realms, and some members of his family were challenging the tower when he ascended to this realm. Therefore, I brought him here to meet Yue Liangyu so he could help her reunite with her family members.”

They looked at Zhang Fei [4] for a moment before returning their gazes to Tianshi Shengjie. ”You can bring your two friends into the portal, Dragon Princess Tianshi.”

”Let’s go.” Tianshi Shengjie led them into the portal.

After they disappeared, one of the women spoke to her friend. ”We should report to Elder Yue Yuling about their arrival.”

”Yes.” One of the women contacted the female elder named Yue Yuling.

Yue Liangyu, who was cultivating at the top of the Moon Tower, was surprised by the appearance of Tianshi Shengjie, Helian Xun’er, and Zhang Fei [4].

Yue Liangyu knew both women, but she didn’t know Zhang Fei [4], and she sensed something unusual about him. She observed him thoughtfully, but she couldn’t see through his disguise, and he looked like most women in her eyes.

”Long time no see, Liangyu.” Tianshi Shengjie spoke.

Helian Xun’er asked her. ”Senior Sister Liangyu, how are you?”

”I never thought you would come back here, Xun’er. I thought you were comfortable being Wan Jiang’s disciple, so you forgot about us.” Yue Liangyu looked at Tianshi Shengjie. ”However, I didn’t expect that you would come with the Princess of the Celestial Dragon Race, which surprised me quite a bit.”

”Hey! We are old friends, so you can stop addressing me with my honorific title.” Tianshi Shengjie pointed to Zhang Fei [4]. ”Actually, we came here to search for some people, and they were supposed to challenge this tower a few months ago based on the flow of time in the Three Mortal Realms.”

Yue Liangyu was surprised to hear that. ”Who are those people? Which realm do they come from?”

”Tian Junfeng and Shangguan Lizhi, and they came from the Sovereign Heaven Realm.” Zhang Fei [4] created a qi screen, showing the image of the two people.

”I see.” Yue Liangyu nodded in understanding. ”They did challenge this tower, and they have reached the third floor. What do you want about them?”

Zhang Fei [4] was not surprised by that; he had personally experienced the challenges in the Star Tower in the past. He knew that all the challenges were complicated, and not all cultivators could complete them as quickly as he did. ”Can you bring them here?”

”You know that I can’t do that, right?” Yue Liangyu looked at the qi screen. ”Even if they are your acquaintances, they must have made their own efforts to reach this place with their abilities. If they don’t have the ability to reach this place, I will expel them from this tower.”

Zhang Fei [4] wanted to speak to Yue Liangyu, but Tianshi Shengjie preceded him. ”Can’t you give them an exception? Moreover, you won’t suffer any loss by bringing them here, right?”

”You know I can’t do that, right, Shengjie?” Yue Liangyu refused with a shake of her head. ”Rules are rules, and I will always abide by the rules set by the higher-ups. Without rules, this world would be in chaos, and I don’t want that to happen in this tower, especially under my watch. If they want to ascend to this realm, they must pass the trials before them, or they won’t be able to survive the situation here.”

Helian Xun’er could only shake her head upon hearing that, and she had already guessed from the start that Yue Liangyu would never allow those people to reach the top of the tower without completing those tests.

Helian Xun’er turned to Zhang Fei [4], who folded his forehead and looked at Yue Liangyu with an unusual gaze. She was already familiar with him, and she knew the plan in his mind, so she immediately took his hand to stop him. ’Don’t do that; it will make you an enemy of the Celestial Moon Sect, and that will only bring us losses. The sect is one of the best sects in this realm, and its status is above those supreme sects such as the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary.’

’Hmm?’ Zhang Fei [4] turned to her. ’What should we do now?’

Helian Xun’er let out a soft sigh. ’We have no choice but to challenge this tower from the first floor, and we’ll take those people away after we meet them. But—’

’But what?’

’Are you sure you want to use your abilities in this tower?’

Zhang Fei [4] nodded at her. ’I don’t want to waste time in this tower, and I will use all my abilities to reach them as soon as possible. Moreover, they are on the third floor, so the tests there shouldn’t be that difficult, and I can clear them easily.’

’That’s true.’ Helian Xun’er agreed and gave him another idea. ’How about you contact Long Wuzhao? I’m sure the Golden Dragon Emperor can help you persuade her, and you won’t have to reveal your abilities in this tower.’

’We don’t need to trouble Long Wuzhao over this trivial matter.’ Zhang Fei [4] rejected her idea, and his four clones immediately set off for the Moon Realm in the Three Mortal Realms, which was too easy for them because the system already stored all the realms there.

Tianshi Shengjie turned to Zhang Fei [4]. ”What should we do now?”

”What else besides challenging this tower?” Zhang Fei [4] looked at Yue Liangyu. ”Since she’s unwilling to help us, I’ll challenge this tower myself. I’m sure it won’t be difficult to reach the third floor, as I’ve already cleared the Star Tower.”

Yue Liangyu looked at Zhang Fei [4] with raised eyebrows because she had never heard of any cultivator successfully completing all the challenges in the Star Tower before, but the presence of Helian Xun’er by his side changed her view because she and Jia Xianzu had been responsible for that tower in the past.

”If—” Yue Liangyu didn’t continue her words when she sensed the change in the Tower, and she created a qi screen that showed the situation outside the Moon Tower, where four of Zhang Fei’s clones were already there. ”Who are these people? Are they clones?”

Helian Xun’er and Tianshi Shengjie looked at the qi screen with laughter in their hearts. They were confident that Zhang Fei’s four clones could easily complete the challenges in the Moon Tower up to the third floor.

”They are my clones.” Yue Liangyu looked at Zhang Fei [4] with a frown. ”There’s no prohibition against using clones to challenge this tower, right? In the past, I used my clone to challenge the Star Tower because I didn’t want to waste my time in vain, and my original body had to help the people around me.”

Yue Liangyu nodded at him. ”Anyone can challenge this tower using any means, including the clone technique. However, clones are still clones, and they don’t have our original strength, so—”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [4] softly laughed. ”Why don’t you watch my clones first?”

”Hmm?” Yue Liangyu was confused by Zhang Fei [4]’s confidence, but she was shocked when she shifted her gaze to the qi screen, especially since his clones scored perfect scores on the initial test. ”How is such an outcome possible? How could they score perfect scores?”

Zhang Fei [4]’s lips curled up as Yue Liangyu looked at him again. ”We’re not close acquaintances, so I don’t need to explain everything to you, right? Since my clones have passed the initial test, they will enter the tower to undergo all the tests. For now, we just need to wait for the results, and I’m sure they can complete those tests before long. Oh! By the way, I know you can increase the difficulty of each test on each floor, but I advise you not to do that.”

”Hmm?” Yue Liangyu looked at Helian Xun’er. ”Are you the one who said that?”

Helian Xun’er shook her head. ”My master said all that after he reached the top floor of the Star Tower.”

”I see.” Yue Liangyu saw that Zhang Fei’s four clones had entered the tower, and they began to take on the challenge on the first floor. She changed the display on the Qi screen, showing their activity in the challenge. ”I’ve heard about your master, and he chose to leave the tower seven months ago, but I haven’t heard from him since then.”

Helian Xun’er smiled at her. ”Actually, we’ve already withdrawn from the Emerald Bamboo Sect and joined the Moonlit Passion Temple. However, our former sect masters have decided to maintain good relations with that sect, and the two sects now have a good relationship.”

”I see.” Yue Liangyu nodded in understanding. ”I’ve heard from people from my sect that the Moonlit Passion Sect has undergone a change from a dual cultivation sect to a universal sect, but I didn’t expect that your master would choose to join that sect, especially with his true identity as a fairy.”

”Senior Jia Xianzu wasn’t the only one who joined the sect, you know?” Yue Liangyu looked at Tianshi Shengjie, who immediately took out her identity plaque as an elder of the Moonlit Passion Temple. ”I and many other races also joined that sect, and that sect is the most universal in this realm because various races gather there.”
