Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1819: Qian Yan Make A Move

After bringing Zhuxian Sheng to the Puyang Clan, Zhang Fei left him with Liao Hanxue. He then went to meet with Ji Changlan, Gong Ren, and Cheng Gaoji.

To his surprise, Zhang Fei found Ji Changlan teaching the young men of the Puyang Clan blacksmithing. In the past, the clan did not have blacksmiths, but the arrival of a supreme-rank blacksmith like Old Ji changed that.

After discussing with the senior members of the clan, Ji Changlan agreed to teach them blacksmithing from scratch. He made this decision because Zhang Fei had brought him from the Three Mortal Realms to the Paradise Realm and the Ancient Realm.

With all of Zhang Fei’s abilities, Ji Changlan felt that he had nothing to offer him as a token of gratitude.

Furthermore, the Puang Clan was a close associate of Zhang Fei, so Ji Changlan didn’t refuse the seniors’ request to teach their clan members about blacksmithing.

Apart from Ji Changlan, Gong Ren and Cheng Gaoji also enjoyed their time at the Puyang Clan. They focused their time on artifact forging, guided by Puyang Shaodi and Puyang Linzhe.

”Little Ji helped us a lot.” Zhang Fei turned to Puyang Shangren. ”We have some alchemists, artifact crafters, and others, but we don’t have any blacksmiths. Although they are still beginners in blacksmithing, Little Ji said that some of them have talent in that field, but their talent is not as good as yours, though.”

Zhang Fei rubbed his nose. ”Actually, my talent in all those areas is just so-so, but I have some other advantages that make it easier for me to learn them. After all, time is the most precious thing, right? As long as we have plenty of time and we don’t waste it, we will succeed in learning many things. But the main key is we must have ambition and be willing to work hard; otherwise, everything will be in vain.”

”You’re right.” Puyang Shangren looked at him. ”The first time we met in the Forbidden Land, your cultivation had just broken through to the Celestial Lord Realm, but you are here now. Back then, I doubted that you would be able to set foot in this realm, but my doubts were unfounded.”

Zhang Fei smiled as he recalled his journey from the beginning to today. ”I managed to reach this level thanks to the help of all my wives, and Feng Yao brought me to this realm. Without them, my cultivation would definitely not have been this fast, and I would not have known anything about this realm.”

”Hahaha,” Puyang Shangren laughed, patting his shoulders. ”The most important thing is that you never forget the people who have helped you since you started your cultivation path, kid. Many cultivators are ungrateful, and they forget the kindness of those who have helped them in the past.”

”You seem to speak from experience, Senior.”

”There were two cultivators from my clan who betrayed us after they achieved success, and my ancestor decided to expel them.”

”Are they still alive?”

”They are still alive and living in other domains, and they are much more successful there.”

A glint flashed across Zhang Fei’s eyes. ”I always appreciate the people around me, but betrayal and ingratitude are the things I hate most in life. If I meet people like those two, I will never be merciful to them. I will cripple their cultivation, and I will kill them if their mistakes are too fatal.”

”Such a ruthless young man!” Since their first meeting in the Forgotten Realm, Puyang Shangren had a positive opinion of Zhang Fei because he treated the people on his side fairly. ”By the way, you should stop addressing me as a senior; instead, you should address me as a brother.”

Zhang Fei looked at him in surprise. ”Why?”

”Isn’t Puyang Yeyu your wife?” Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly. ”Puyang Zong went crazy after he found out about your relationship with his sister, and he couldn’t stop bragging about your relationship. They are both in the same generation as me, so you are also my brother now.”

”Haha! Looks like my brother-in-law is too happy because of my relationship with my wife, huh?”

Puyang Shangren sighed. ”Puyang Zong’s only worry was his sister, but he doesn’t need to worry about her anymore because she has you as her husband now.”

”Yeyu has already told me about that matter.” Then, Zhang Fei asked him, ”Do you want to meet Leiyu Tianlu?”

”No need.” Puyang Shangren shook his head. ”Those creatures continue to decrease for some reason, and the situation in this domain has begun to stabilize. Besides, Tianlu has improved significantly since I sent him to you, so I think it would be best if he stayed with you. By the way, Puyang Kongque can’t wait to meet you to discuss alchemy, so you should go see him before leaving.”

”Alright.”

Zhang Fei had arrived at the alchemy room of the Puyang Clan, where he saw Puyang Kongque concocting pills in front of a huge alchemy furnace. He approached him and checked the ingredients. ”Your pill won’t form.”

”Hmm?” Puyang Kongque was momentarily taken aback, but then he smiled. ”How can you say that?”

”This herb.” Zhang Fei picked up a herb from the pile. ”The other ingredients won’t clash with each other, but this one will disrupt the final process, and the pill won’t form.”

”Do you have a solution for that?”

”Wait.” Zhang Fei disappeared into the Sealed World Realm, but he came out again a few moments later, bringing a number of fresh herbs with him. ”This herb will neutralize the effect of that one, and it will also increase the effect of your pill.”

Puyang Kongque’s eyes widened because the herb in Zhang Fei’s hand was quite rare, and he didn’t have it. ”Where did you get this herb?”

”I found a herb field in one of the domains in the Paradise Realm, and this one is one of those herbs.” Zhang Fei quickly processed the herbs until they turned into liquid, and he threw the liquid into the furnace afterwards. ”Increase your flame a bit and keep the heat stable.”

Puyang Kongque nodded and followed Zhang Fei’s instructions. Although the man before him was young, he didn’t underestimate him because their alchemy ranks were the same, and he had consumed his pills a few months ago.

Meanwhile, Yan Washeng observed Qian Yan’s movements in his city; he immediately recognized that the latter was a demon beast god. ”How did he come here?”

”That demon beast is no ordinary beast, husband,” Su Lan spoke from her husband’s side.

”Yes,” Yan Washeng nodded. ”Zhang Fei told me that he is the Ten Thousand Eyes Demon God, and his abilities are terrifying, especially his middle eye.”

Su Lan titled her head. ”Do you think he is Zhang Fei’s enemy?”

”That demon beast is indeed Zhang Fei’s enemy.” Yan Washeng and Su Lan turned to Tang Zhiyao in surprise; they did not expect that she would appear. ”I helped him to keep an eye on that demon beast because someone brought him to this domain to wreak havoc.”

”Who brought that demon beast into our domain?”

”One of the primordial beasts!” Yan Washeng and Su Lan gasped in shock. ”In fact, I’m not the only one watching that demon beast, but Mo Qingwen is also watching him.”

Yan Washeng and Su Lan weren’t surprised to hear that Mo Qingwen was keeping an eye on Qian Yan. He was, after all, the strongest demon and the leader of their domain.

Yan Washeng, Su Lan, and Tang Zhiyao suddenly had a terrible feeling. They shuddered as they felt Qian Yan’s gaze on them.

Before they could react, Qian Yan had already appeared in front of them. However, his gaze was more focused on Tang Zhiyao, and he furrowed his brows when he realized she was just an ethereal form. ”You three are the demon gods of this domain, right? If you three submit to me, I will let you go. If you guys try to challenge me, I will kill you.”

Tang Zhiyao said nothing and disappeared, causing Qian Yan to frown even more deeply. He had already locked onto her aura and immediately tried to track her location. However, his expression turned to shock after he failed to track her, something no living creature should be able to do.

”How is this possible? Why can’t I track her? Could it be because she isn’t using her real body?” Qian Yan was furious because he couldn’t find Tang Zhiyao, so he returned his gaze to Yan Washeng and Su Lan. ”What’s your choice?”

”We—”

Before Yan Washeng could react, a flame shot towards Qian Yan, who immediately tried to block it. However, his expression turned grim as the flame approached him, and he immediately moved to avoid it. ”Who dares to disturb me?”

”Heh!” Qian Yan looked at Huo Ling, who had just appeared. His eyes bulged out in shock; his body also trembled strongly. ”Seems like you haven’t forgotten about that day’s events, huh?”

’Crap! How can this brutal woman be in this domain?’ Qian Yan was never afraid of anyone even when he was standing in front of the two primordial beasts, but Huo Ling’s presence frightened him. ”You... how did you get here?”

”Humph!” Huo Ling snorted and shot her flames towards Qian Yan, forcing him to flee with his tail between his legs. ”Do you think you can escape from me?”

Yan Washeng and Su Lan were truly shocked to see Qian Yan so afraid of Huo Ling. They were demon gods, but they didn’t dare make a move in front of the former, yet he was so terrified of her. ”Who is that woman, husband?”

”I don’t know the woman’s name, but I saw her with Zhang Fei in the dungeon.”
