Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

In the Xi Clan, Xi Hongyan finally received news of the changes in the situation in the Red Sun Realm, which infuriated her. "Aunt, I didn't expect Hong Quan to move so quickly, and the Dai Clan has already changed sides and joined his group. His group captured all the members of the Wang Clan, and they also subdued all the minor clans that used to side with the Shang Clan. According to the news, Fei Shuya has also separated her Fei Clan from that clan, and it happened because of Zhang Fei, so the Shang Clan is completely isolated now."

"Hmm?" Xi Qiuwei raised her eyebrows. "Has Shang Huaqiang made a move to counter all that?

Xi Hongyan shook her head. "According to Xi Wuya, Shang Huaqiang was not in his clan in the past ten days or so, and he was out looking for Zhang Fei. He suspected that the kid had poisoned both him and Fei Qinyuan, leading him to believe that he was also responsible for causing chaos in his clan two weeks prior. Fei Qinyuan couldn't do anything without her husband, and Shang Ziyuan was still holed up in her room with Shi Wuxian."

"Shang Huaqiang's guess is accurate, but he will never be able to find Zhang Fei." Xi Qiuwei let out a soft sigh. "I still can't understand how he could do all that to the Shang Clan, but that clan has already fallen into his clutches. If not for the presence of Shang Yanhan and Shang Yanjun, he would have destroyed them by now."

Xi Hongyan nodded in agreement with her aunt. "That kid has many extraordinary abilities, but his cultivation is still in the ten mortal realms, so he wouldn't dare to fight Shang Yanhan and Shang Yanjun openly."

"Are you sure about that?" Xi Hongyan raised an eyebrow. "That kid dared to face the two of us by himself, and he also forced Fei Shuya to separate her Fei clan from the Shang Clan, remember? In my opinion, the Shang Clan will be destroyed in the near future, so we have to prepare a new plan to deal with the situation."

"What plan do you have in mind, Aunt? Don't mention Lin Moxian, or I'll really get angry with you." Xi Hongyan emphasized her last sentence.

Xi Qiuwei could only sigh in her heart because Xi Hongyan was too stubborn. There was an easy path ahead of them to improve their situation, but she preferred the hard path. "The only solution is to meet Zhang Fei and the Hong Clan to discuss this matter, but we must involve Huo Jiguang and his Huo Clan in the discussion. If the Shang Clan is destroyed, then only three groups are left, so we must divide the territory of this realm equally."

Xi Hongyan pondered for a while before making a decision. "Aunt, I want you to go to the eastern region to meet Huo Jiguang, and I will go to the southern region to meet Hong Quan and Zhang Fei."

"All right."

After Xi Hongyan gave several orders to their clan members, both women immediately left their clan and headed to two different regions.

Inside the bedroom, Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuxian lay weakly, and their faces were extremely pale; even their bodies had become thinner.

"Damn it!" Shang Ziyuan cursed under her breath. "We have been in this condition for more than two weeks, but the effects still haven't subsided. If it weren't for those recovery pills, we would have died long ago due to Qi depletion. Do you have another way to recover our condition, Wuxian? If we continue like this, we will really die sooner or later."

"I did not expect that the effect of the demon's ability was stronger than the one I encountered in the past, so I have no other solution to restore our condition." An idea suddenly crossed Shi Wuxian's mind. "Ziyuan, we became like this when we attacked the Ji Clan, so I think we should go there to meet the demon, especially since he is the only one who can restore our condition."

Shang Ziyuan turned to Shi Wuxian with a look of disbelief, especially since their condition was awful with their lusts constantly overflowing. If they went to meet the demon, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and surrender her body to him. It would be deleterious for her, and she didn't want such a thing to happen to her.

"I know your thoughts, but we have no other choice, right? Or would you rather die from Qi depletion?" Shi Wuxian questioned her.

Although she was fully aware of the risks, Shang Ziyuan still could not accept Shi Wuxian's idea, and she would rather die than surrender herself to a demon.

*Crack*

Both women turned to Fei Qinyuan, who walked into their room. "Has your lust still not subsided?"

"Not yet."

Shi Wuxian then spoke. "Qinyuan, I want you to take me and Ziyuan to the Jin Clan. I'm sure we can recover our condition if we go there."

"Hmm?" Fei Qinyuan raised an eyebrow before sitting down on the side of the bed. Before she met Zhang Fei, she had never thought of such a possibility. However, their meeting and his actions toward her and her husband made her realize that he was also responsible for Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuxian's condition. "To tell you the truth, I might know the mastermind behind the condition of both of you. That person put me and my husband in such a terrible condition, and he was also responsible for the chaos that occurred in our clan some time ago."

"Who is that person?"

Fei Qinyuan wanted to say Zhang Fei's name, but the words couldn't come out from her mouth, irritating her. "I don't know his name, but he is Hun Di's newest disciple and Hong Xinxin's fiancé, and he has helped the Hong Clan to reverse the situation."

"What has that person done?" Fei Qinyuan released a heavy sigh and told the two women about the current situation in their realm, causing their expressions to turn completely ugly. "How could he do all that? Does that mean Hun Di decided to support the Hong Clan?"

With a shake of her head, Fei Qinyuan dismissed Shang Ziyuan's guess. "Hun Di would never interfere in other clans' affairs, and his disciple did everything on his initiative because he was Hong Xinxin's fiancé. I have discussed this matter with the two ancestors, but they also dare not take action, especially since that guy also has ties with the Lin Clan."

"Which Lin Clan are you referring to?"

"Lin Jingxia." Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuhei froze as soon as Fei Qinyuan said that name. "Some time ago, Lin Moxian came to this realm, and our spies saw them together because they had the same master. If we chose to attack him, we would be dealing with Hun Di and the Lin Clan, and they would probably destroy us outright."

Shang Ziyuan clenched her fists tightly, and she never expected that their situation would become so precarious just because of one person. "Do you think the disappearance of my daughter and Shang Baishi has something to do with that man? Could he be holding them hostage somewhere else?"

"That might be true." Fei Qinyuan replied with a nod. "Hun Di's newest disciple first appeared in the Wasteland Realm, and the two of them also disappeared from there."

Hearing that, Shang Ziyuan tried to get up from the bed, but her body was too weak to move. "Qinyuan! Help me find that man, and you must catch him for me."

'Do you think I can do that? That brat has taken control of my soul, and I can't move to face him at all.' Fei Qinyuan inwardly muttered in annoyance. "I have instructed our people to monitor the Hong Clan, but they were unable to locate that man, so we must wait for the time being." However, the two of you must remain vigilant, especially since there is a possibility that he will sneak into our clan again. I will leave now, and I will inform the two of you if any other changes occur."

After Fei Qinyuan left, Shang Ziyuan spoke to Shi Wuxian. "Try calling your friends and asking them to help us search for that man."

Shi Wuxian weakly took out a teleportation device to contact some of his friends, and he asked them to come to the Red Sun Realm as soon as possible. "Some of them will arrive here in a few days, and some others will follow. I didn't tell them that the man was Hun Di's newest disciple, or they wouldn't have the guts to help us."

"That's good." Shang Ziyuan then sighed. "Sigh! I'm still so horny, but my body is weak now."

Shi Wuxian nodded. "Try to suppress your lust first so you can rest."

"Yeah."

*Vomit*

In another room, Shang Yanhan and Shang Yanjun suddenly vomited blood, making their old faces even paler.

Shang Yanjun wiped the blood from his mouth before speaking. "What exactly happened to us, brother? I feel like something has affected us for the past few days, and my Qi flow immediately went haywire every time I tried to cultivate."

"I also experienced the same thing as you." Shang Yanhan swallowed a pill before continuing. "I've checked the area around this room, but I didn't find anything unusual. Perhaps our condition has something to do with the mastermind who caused chaos in our clan, and the effects only appeared recently."

After that, the two old men closed their eyes again to recover from their internal injuries, and that was also what prevented them from taking action against the Hong Clan.

Fei Qinyuan had already arrived at Fei Shuya's residence, and an old woman was already waiting for her there.

"Release your soul, Qinyuan." Fei Qinyuan nodded and released her soul immediately. The old woman and Fei Shuya immediately observed her soul, but they did not see anything strange in it. "Is there anything you can do to free my granddaughter from that man, Bao Fuyi?"

Bao Fuyi shook her head directly. "You said that kid replicated her soul, so I couldn't do anything to free her from him. The only solution was to beg him to free her, but I don't think he would be willing to do that."

"You're right." Fei Shuya released a heavy sigh. "This matter happened because of Shang Huaqiang's ambition, and my granddaughter helped him to fulfill his ambition. Unfortunately, they had to deal with the wrong person, and she became like this as a result."

Bao Fuyi pushed Fei Qinyuan's soul back into his body before speaking. "My understanding of the soul cultivation path is indeed shallow compared to Hun Di, but I know that he does not have such an ability to replicate another person's soul. Perhaps that kid got his abilities from another soul cultivator, but I have never met a soul cultivator who can surpass his master."

Fei Qinyuan was disappointed to hear Bao Fuyi's words. Despite her desire to escape Zhang Fei's control, no one could assist her at this point. After she spoke to the two old women, she immediately returned to the Shang Clan again. 'Sigh! I will do anything to be free from his control, and if necessary, I will humble myself to beg him, so I hope he will come to see me again soon.'

"Why are you looking at me like this, Senior?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked Tian Yishen, who looked curious about him.

Tian Yishen first sealed the room with his aura, causing Zhang Xiaolong [3] to frown. "I won't do anything to you, and Little Moxian has already explained some things to me about you, so I purposely sealed this room. How can you create such a perfect clone, kid?"

"Why would you suspect that, Senior?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] calmly inquired, despite being shocked by his question.

Tian Yishen immediately explained to Zhang Xiaolong [3] about his suspicions after Xiao Laoshu told him the incident that happened when he was treating him in the healing chamber. "Based on the incident, I am confident that this is your clone, and it has a direct connection to your original body, correct?"

"You're right, Senior." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately admitted it. "To tell you the truth, this is indeed my clone, but I created it without a cultivation technique, and I created it using my innate ability."

"An innate ability?"

"This is really my innate ability, so I can't teach it to anyone." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then used the Yin-Yang Avatar Technique to create an avatar, surprising Tian Yishen. "I used a technique to create this avatar."

Tian Yishen could immediately tell that Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s avatar was much weaker than his clone, but he felt that it was still more special than other techniques. "All right, you can cancel your avatar, and I will not probe further about your clone. I will take you to another place, and it can help you to stabilize your cultivation foundation faster, so you can come with me now."

In a few minutes, they had arrived at another room, which was similar to a healing chamber, but there was no healing capsule there. Instead, Zhang Xiaolong [3] saw several beds made of jade and other materials, and Tian Yishen asked him to cultivate on one of them.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately approached one of them and sat cross-legged on it, but he felt a flow of Qi enter his body, which quickly spread throughout his body.

"Can you feel the Qi?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to Tian Yishen. "It is pure Qi that can only be produced by this Heavenly Rejuvenation Jade, and you won't be able to find it from other items. For now, let the Qi spread throughout your body, and it will help your cultivation stabilize faster. Additionally, it can also help you heal if there are any sequelae left from your previous injuries."

"How many jewels do I need if I want to buy this jade, Senior?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] curiously asked.

"Hahaha." Tian Yishen laughed and showed the number ten using his fingers. "One Heavenly Rejuvenation Jade is worth ten million gold jewels."1

"Cough… Cough…" Zhang Xiaolong [3] coughed and looked at him in shock. "The price is costly, Senior! I only have fifty million blue jewels, so I won't be able to buy this jade."

Tian Yishen laughed as he stroked his beard. "All right, I will leave you now, and you can focus on stabilizing your cultivation here."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes. 'The effects of this jade are truly extraordinary, and I would like to have at least one. If I can stabilize my cultivation faster every time I break through, my cultivation can increase even faster.'

[Ten million gold jewels are truly expensive, Master. You might need tens or hundreds of years to collect them, but you can collect them easily if you sell the Beauty Restoring Pill and the Youthful Retaining Pill. Unfortunately, that will only bring you great trouble, and those cultivators will definitely be after you.]

'Do you think we can look for this jade, Mei?'

[Unfortunately, the system does not have any information about this jade, so I don't know where we can look for it, Master.]

Ma Kuangyu suddenly spoke to him. 'Kid, if you want to look for this jade, you should go to the Sovereign Heaven Realm quickly, and you might be able to find one there.'

'The Sovereign Heaven Realm, huh?' Zhang Xiaolong [3] muttered to himself. 'I'll think about that, Old Ma. For now, I need to stabilize my cultivation foundation as quickly as possible so I can bring them all to challenge the Star Tower.'
