Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

"What happened, Father? Why did you suddenly stop?" Huang Jiguang asked his father.

Huang Zhejun was still seriously listening to the report from one of his subordinates. "One of our people said that Tian Shuixiang is in this realm now, and he is visiting Cheng Gaoji."

"Isn't that natural?" Huang Jiguang asked in confusion. "Everyone knows that Tian Shuxiang has a close relationship with Cheng Gaoji, and Lin Jingxia chose Gong Ren as her partner in some matters."

Huang Zhejun nodded to his son, but he felt that Tian Shuxiang's arrival was too sudden, and the alchemy god's sudden arrival made him uneasy.

Huang Zhejun tried then to contact Long Jiutian to inform him of the arrival of the alchemy god, but unfortunately, Feng Xueying had already frozen him, and Zhang Fei [5] had transferred him to the Nine Hells Darkland. 'Where is he? Why can't I contact him?'

"This is serious, Brother Huang." Xiong Yehui said as he landed in front of the two men, followed by his wife, Duan Menghua.

Lei Xuanfeng also landed there before speaking. "Tian Shuxiang has just arrived in this realm, so we cannot act rashly with his presence here."

"Have you contacted Lord Jiutian?" Duan Menghua asked.

Huang Zhejun explained to them directly about Long Jiutian's situation, making them all frown. "Let's stop our search for now, and we will continue looking for them once Tian Shuxiang leaves this realm."

After that, Huang Zhejun and his son returned to the Huang Clan, as did Lei Xuanfeng, who returned to the Lei Clan.

The two people from the Xiong Clan did not return to their clan directly, but they tried to go to the business area to find out the reason for Tian Shuxiang's sudden arrival in their realm. "Do you think there is something we're not aware of, wife?"

"Yes." Duan Menghua nodded at Xiong Yehui. "Lord Jiutian couldn't have disappeared just like that, and I feel that Tian Shuxiang's sudden arrival has something to do with his plans to take over this realm. In my opinion, we should be more passive for the next few days, or he will become suspicious of us."

Xiong Yehui nodded as he thought about several things. "What do you think if we leave this realm for now? I feel that the situation has become unfavorable for us, and I think we should go to your realm to avoid unexpected events. Moreover, Long Jiutian's whereabouts are unknown, so this is a good opportunity for us to escape."

"Do you think we can escape from Long Jiutian with his black dragon mark in our souls?" Duan Menghua asked with doubt. "If he finds out we escaped from this realm, he will definitely hunt us down wherever we go, and he will destroy our two clans."

Xiong Yehui released a heavy sigh. "I know it's too risky, but it could buy us time to find a way to remove his mark from our souls."

"The only one who can help us is Hun Di, but he is not in this realm right now, and we don't know when he will return." Duan Menghua then touched her chest. "My ability in the soul cultivation path is second only to him, but I have repeatedly failed to remove the mark. Moreover, Long Jiutian has already done something to our two grandsons, and they are completely loyal to him now, especially Qinglai."

"They are in Guan Chenhong's hands now, and there is no way we can free them now. Moreover, Old Guan will not kill them immediately, so we should leave first, and we will save them after the situation changes again." Duan Menghua frowned at Xiong Yehui. "I'm worried about them myself, and I don't want them to die either, but our clan will be destroyed if we don't escape now."

Duan Menghua fell into contemplation for a long time before deciding. "All right, I agree with you; we should leave this realm tonight, and we will take the others with us. As for Qinglai and Yinghao, we will rescue them once the situation in this realm is calmer."

"Let's go back to our clan now, and we will leave this realm as soon as possible." The two immediately rushed back to the Xiong Clan.

At Cheng Gaoji's residence, he and the others had already welcomed Tian Shuxiang, and they sat together in the living room. Despite his old age, the alchemy god appeared surprisingly youthful, resembling a man in his early forties.

Tian Shuxiang's demeanor was extremely calm, and his appearance was that of a gentle literati, making the people sitting with him feel comfortable to be around him.

Unlike them, Zhang Fei [5] could still feel Tian Shuxiang's asura demon aura, which made him quite wary of him. However, he did not say anything and casually sat by Lin Moxian's side, and he used his natural awareness ability to confirm the alchemy god's demon identity, which proved to be true that he was a demon. 'In the novels on Earth, Asura Demons are always described as war demons, and they are maniac fighters with high bloodlust. Yet, this guy can act so calmly, and his demeanor does not show the slightest bit of his bloodlust.'

"Where is your aunt, Moxian?" Tian Shuxiang inquired, casting a sidelong glance at Zhang Fei [5].

'This kid should be a demon, but I can't sense his demon aura. Could it be that he's using the same method I use to hide it?' Zhang Fei [5] slightly raised an eyebrow as a notification appeared in his mind, warning him that the alchemy god was trying to probe him. The system's action of stopping him shocked Tian Shuxiang, and he hurriedly stopped his action. 'This kid is not an ordinary one, and there is something special in his body.'

"Senior Tian, ​​my aunt is catching up with the Nameless One and the others, and they will probably arrive in this realm in three days." Lin Moxian's answer confused Tian Shuxiang. "My aunt is catching up with them with someone, and he can bring them back faster."

"Hmm?" Tian Shuxiang raised an eyebrow as she looked at the people in front of her, but they didn't show anything on their expressions, especially since Zhang Fei [5] had already told them not to mention anything about his clones in front of the alchemist god. "Who is that man? How is he going to bring them back here in three days if they are still in the middle realms now?"

"Senior Tian, ​​you know about the race that can switch realms easily, right?" Tian Shuxiang was once again shocked after realizing the identity of the person Lin Moxian was referring to. "He comes from that race, but he would rather not be directly involved with us, and he is willing to help us only because of his good relationship with my aunt."

Tian Shuixiang was not suspicious of that because he was familiar with Lin Jingxia, and he knew quite a lot about her acquaintances, one of whom was a person from the Heavenly Fox Race. "If that person is with your aunt, it's not difficult for them to arrive in this realm in three days."

"Yes." Lin Moxian put her arm around Zhang Fei [5]'s shoulder. "Senior Tian, ​​​​Zhang Fei is my junior brother, and my master accepted him as his disciple five months ago. Moreover, he is an alchemist, and my aunt has personally witnessed his skill in alchemy."

"His body reeked with the smell of many herbs, so I knew from the beginning that he was an alchemist. However, I didn't expect that Hun Di would take a disciple as young as him, and his cultivation was still at the 1-Star Heaven Realm." Tian Shuxiang then asked Zhang Fei [5]. "What rank is your alchemist at now?"

"A king rank, Senior." Zhang Fei [5]'s answer surprised Tian Shuxiang. "I have a good master in alchemy, and I was able to reach this rank so early because of her guidance."

"Who is your master?"

"Feng Yao."

"Little Yao's talent in alchemy is indeed extraordinary, so you are lucky to be able to have her as your master." Zhang Fei [5] responded to Tian Shuxiang with a faint smile. "Despite her young age, Jingxia and I have always believed that her abilities would surpass ours one day. Unfortunately, her interest in alchemy was not as deep as her interest in other things. She even chose to go to the lower realms to protect a small realm, which perplexed us."

Zhang Fei [5] immediately said. "The small realm is my home realm, and I met Feng Yao there. Since then, I learned a lot about alchemy from her, but she forbade me from addressing her as my master."

"I see." Tian Shuxiang then asked Wang Zhemin. "What are your plans now? Previously, I saw people from the Huang, Xiong, and Lei clans moving around the city. They seemed to be looking for something or someone."

Instead, Whang Zhemin pointed his finger at Lin Moxian, Zhang Fei [5], Tantai Lingyan, and Yan Yinqing. "Those people are looking for their whereabouts, especially since they previously kidnapped them."

"They kidnapped my four humanoid dolls, Senior Tian." Lin Moxian told him.

Tian Shuxiang nodded in understanding and stood up. "In that case, I will go to the Golden Crane Inn and wait for the others to arrive, and we will move against the three clans after that."

After Tian Shuxiang left, Cheng Gaoji immediately spoke to Zhang Fei [5]. "Kid, you should bring Duan Zhao and the others back to your realm first, especially since the situation in this realm will be chaotic soon."

"All right." Zhang Fei [5] immediately met Duan Zhao and his three male disciples in the back room. After he confirmed that Tian Shuxiang was not monitoring him, he sent the four of them back to the Nine Stars Realm.

Zhang Fei [5] wanted to go to the Nine Hells Darkland to complete the quests, but he dropped his intention because of Tian Shuxiang's presence. Instead, his other two clones, who were cultivating in the phoenix realm, went there. They brought all the demons from the training space to that realm for training.

Since it was still midnight, Zhang Fei [5] and the others chose to go to their respective rooms to rest and cultivate. Meanwhile, Wang Zhemin and Cheng Gaoji went to the realm's defense center to meet Guan Chenhong, preparing their next move against the three clans.

In the Xiong Clan, Xiong Minglei and the other clan members were shocked by Xiong Yehui and Duan Menghua's sudden decision. Moreover, Xiong Qinglai and Xiong Yinghai were in Guan Chenhong's hands, yet they decided to abandon them.

Xiong Yehui spoke straight away. "I understand how you all feel, but we have no choice but to leave this realm for now. If we continue to stay in this realm, then our clan will most likely be destroyed, and we will die. Since Long Jiutian disappeared without a trace, this is our chance to leave. After the situation is normal, we will return to this realm again, and we will save them."

"All right, we don't have much time, so you guys pack your personal belongings now." Duan Menghua urged them.

Despite their unwillingness, Xiong Minglei and the others hurriedly followed Xiong Yehui and Duan Menghua's decision. After they were all ready, they secretly left the Xianjin Realm, and they also sealed their clans.

Guan Chenhong and Wang Zhemin were naturally aware of their actions, but they did not stop the people from the Xiong Clan because they knew exactly their destination. However, they still used something to track their whereabouts, so even if they went to a far realm, they could still detect them.

Tian Shuxiang had arrived at the inn and went straight to his room. Not long after, a fiery, red-haired woman came out of his body.

Ye Zhiye has an alluringly beautiful face that exudes the bewitching seductiveness. Her crescent brows and phoenix eyes released a boundless bewitching allure. A single small glance from her would penetrate a man's soul and topple his will. Her exquisite lips were pink and dewy.

Ye Zhiye had a slender build, with half of her jet-black hair spilled over her shoulders, and the rest hung all the way down to her waist. She dressed in soft, black leather clothing that tightly wrapped around her body. Every outline her clothes drew on her body was perfect to the point of being stifling. Her bottom and bosom were round and swelled, her waist as delicate as a willow.

Ye Zhiye sat on Tian Shuxiang's lap and hugged his neck. "Are you thinking about that child, Xiuluo?"

"Yes." Tian Shuxiang nodded at her. "Zhiye, I believe that kid is a demon like us, but something inside his body stops me from examining him. If my guess is right, he should already know that I am a demon, but he dares not say anything about my true identity because of his low cultivation."

"How about I help you investigate him?" Ye Zhiye asked. "I don't know what's inside his body, but I'm sure he won't be able to resist my abilities, and I can get more detailed information about him easily."

Tian Shuxiang thought about it first. "You can investigate him, but you have to be careful about the thing in his body. I'm afraid it has something to do with people from that realm, and you'll be in big trouble if my guess is right."

"Haha." Ye Zhiye giggled and disappeared in the darkness instantly.

Tian Shuxiang then sat by the window and looked at Cheng Gaoji's residence. "Could it be that the kid is a runaway too, like Zhiye and me?"

.

.

.

A while later, Ye Zhiye had already arrived at Zhang Fei [5]'s room, filling the room with pitch darkness.

Zhang Fei [5] naturally noticed Ye Zhiye's presence, but he pretended not to notice her presence and continued to suck Qi from the air. 'Scan her, Mei.'

'Eternal night demon, huh?' Zhang Fei [5] felt Ye Zhiye touch his forehead, but the system immediately reacted as soon as she used one of her abilities on him.

Ye Zhiye was shocked that her ability was useless against Zhang Fei [5], and she decided to use her other ability, but her attempt failed once again due to the system's intervention. 'How could this happen? Why can't I do anything about him?'

'Phew! Luckily, I have the system, or this woman would control me.' Taking advantage of Ye Zhiye's darkness, Zhang Fei [5] secretly used the darkness corruption, gradually weakening her.

Ye Zhiye immediately realized this and countered it by using her endless night domain, which suppressed Zhang Fei [5]'s darkness corruption. However, she looked at him in confusion because there was no movement of Qi in his body. 'Is it this kid's ability that weakened me just now? How can he use it without using his Qi?'

Just as Ye Zhiye was thinking that, Zhang Fei [5]'s pink gas spread out from his body and merged with her darkness, making the female demon unconsciously inhale it.

Ye Zhiye's lust ignited spontaneously, causing a pink heart symbol to appear in both of her eyes. Without thinking twice, she escaped from Zhang Fei [5]'s room and rushed back to Tian Shuxiang, especially since her lust continued to strengthen.

Zhang Fei [5] immediately opened his eyes. "I didn't want to find trouble with you, but you wanted to do such a thing to me, so you can feel the consequences."
