Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

'Only a 20% chance, huh?' Zhang Fei [1] inwardly muttered after getting that notification.

[After all, it's just a lower-rank wind elemental seed, so the success percentage is indeed small, Master. Unless you get a peak-grade one, then the percentage of getting the wind element will be 100%. However, not only is the lower grade rare, but the peak-grade is even rarer. Fortunately, your system is overpowered; without it, you wouldn't have been as fortunate to find one in this lower realm.]

Zhang Fei [1] did not refute Mei's words because he himself was aware that all the good things he got recently were indeed thanks to her and the system. Suddenly, he felt a faint wind qi flowing into his body, which came from the wind elemental seed.

"Focus." Zefyr spoke as she pressed her palm against Zhang Fei's chest, channeling her wind Qi into his body. "I will circulate my qi into your body to activate the wind elemental seed, and I will also help you to absorb it, so you will get the wind element afterwards."

Zhang Fei nodded and calmed his mind, and he could sense Zefyr's wind Qi start to spread throughout his body. Aside from that, he could also feel the slight movement of the wind elemental seed, which had begun to activate thanks to her qi.

[Ding]

[The chance for the host to obtain the wind element has increased to 100%.]

Not only Zhang Fei [1] was shocked by the notification, but even Mei was also shocked by it. However, none of them spoke, and they waited for Zefyr to help him complete the process.

Qiao Ran led her clan's people, the Wen Twins, and the people from the demon fox group towards the Huan Clan's residence, especially since it was already quite late and the majority of the people from the clan had already returned to their rooms to rest. Fortunately, Huan Jingtian was in the demon cave, and Huan Chong was dead, so there weren't many strong cultivators left in the clan.

The strongest among them was only at 1-Star Earth Realm, which was no match for Qiao Ran's cultivation at 3-Star Earth Realm, and she immediately moved towards that person's room.

Meanwhile, the Wen Twins infiltrated two different rooms, which were occupied by several influential members of the Huan Clan. Since they had all been controlled by Huan Jingjtian using pills from the Pang Clan, they immediately killed those people. Likewise, the people from the Qiao Clan and the demon fox group also moved quickly to slaughter the members of the clan.

Since most of them were too weak and vulnerable, Qiao Ran and the others could finish them off without much difficulty. She then led the Wen Twins to go to the Huan Clan's treasury, and they cleaned out the room without leaving anything behind. Unfortunately, Huan Jingtian had sealed most of the treasure boxes they found, preventing them from examining their contents.

After settling everything, they departed from the Huan Clan and set fire to the clan's residence, causing a significant disturbance in the city sometime later. The Wen Twins then inform Liu Hua of their success, who asks them to immediately return to the western region. She also requests that they bring Qiao Ran back, especially since Zhang Fei will need her.

Besides, Liu Hua asked the Wen Twins to let some members of the demon fox group remain in the city to keep an eye on the movements of the Pang Clan, whom she suspected would soon arrive after hearing about the destruction of the Huan Clan. This was particularly important because several other clans had become vassals of that heretical clan.

Unfortunately, Pang Hong had no information about those clans, so they couldn't destroy them all at once.

However, Liu Hua chose to leave the Guan Clan behind because they had long joined the Pang Clan, and they had no exact information about their true strength. Even Guan Yu, who had been killed by Zhang Fei, was stronger than Qiao Ran, with his cultivation being at 5-Star Earth Realm, and they wouldn't have been able to capture him if it wasn't for Zhang Lingxue.

That's why she didn't dare act rashly by ordering them to attack the clan directly, as she was worried that there were other strong cultivators in the clan.

The Wen Twins then relayed Liu Hua's orders to Qiao Ran, who subsequently instructed her clan's members to return to their own clan. After ordering several people from the demon fox group, they immediately used flying artifacts to transport everyone out of the eastern region.

Two hours later, Zefyr had already retracted her wind qi as the wind elemental seed was already fully activated, and it was only a matter of waiting for the results. However, she discovered something unusual in Zhang Fei [1]'s body, which made her wonder about it herself. 'Weird! How could he have three cultivation cores? Furthermore, one of them is the darkness core.

It should be impossible for light and darkness to coexist in one body, yet he possesses both.'

[Ding]

[You obtained the wind element.]

[The host wind element is lower-stage.]

Suddenly, a large and powerful green vortex appeared around Zhang Fei [1], and it then rose into the sky, sending the ground and many trees flying high into the sky. Luckily, Zefyr was a wind fairy, so it didn't have any impact on her. 'Phew, he finally got the wind element, and he will soon form his wind core.'

As she hovered around Zhang Fei [1], Zefyr continued to wait for him to finish forming his wind core. Half an hour later, the vortex shrunk into a sizable green ball, indicating that he had succeeded in forming it, and it immediately entered his body.

'Unbelievable! He managed to create his fourth Qi Core so easily!' Zefyr quietly mumbled in shock upon witnessing this. 'What's more, it's a peak-rank wind core! Even I, as a wind fairy, only have an upper-rank one!'

"Phew." Zhang Fei [1] breathed a sigh of relief before opening his eyes and smiling in satisfaction, and he then said to Zefyr. "Thanks for your help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have succeeded in getting the wind element, especially since the chance was so small."

"You don't have to think about it." However, Zefyr's expression turned serious before asking Zhang Fei [1]. "How did you come to possess the darkness element? Light and darkness couldn't possibly exist in one body, but you have both."

[Master, you should tell her the truth, especially since she already inspected your body when she helped you activate the wind elemental seed. Otherwise, she will hate you if you lie to her.]

"I'll show you something, but this might shock you, so I hope you don't tell anyone else what you're about to see. Okay?" After Zefyr nodded in agreement, Zhang Fei [1] transformed himself into an incubus.

"What the hell!" Zefyr immediately shouted loudly, and her beautiful eyes widened after seeing Zhang Fei [1]'s incubus form. "How... how can you also become a demon?"

Zhang Fei [1] nodded to Zefyr. "I feel confused as to how to explain the truth to you, but this is the work of the person who saved me from death. Currently, I am a human, a heavenly fox, and a demon at the same time."

Zefyr didn't immediately comment about it, especially since he himself had already proven the authenticity of Zhang Fei [1]'s aura as a human and a heavenly fox, so he knew that she wasn't lying to him. To ensure the authenticity of his demon form, he groped his horns, wings, and tail. "You are a freak! I've never heard of a creature like you before!

This way, you can gather with humans, nature races, and demons all at once!"

"Ha ha." Zhang Fei laughed bitterly at that. "I myself never thought I would become like this before, but this may be the will of fate, and I am powerless to resist it."

"En." Zefyr just nodded as he continued to observe Zhang Fei [1]'s incubus form.

Seeing her like that, Zhang Fei [1] immediately returned to his human form and asked her. "What's your next plan, Zefyr?"

"Since you swallowed the wind elemental seed, I have no other purpose here, and I will return to our forest city." Zefyr gave Zhang Fei a green pendant. "If you ever go to the Jingshai Forest in the western region, you can show this pendant to the guards, and they will definitely let you in to our city."

"All right." Zefyr immediately disappeared from Zhang Fei [1]'s sight after that, and he recalled the city in the middle of the forest that Chu Ying had told him about some time ago. "No wonder not everyone can enter that city; it turns out that city is where the natural race lives, so I will use my real body to go there after I come out of my seclusion."

Zhang Fei [1] then activated the portal to the Yin-Yang Pavilion, entered it, and arrived at his room. He smiled upon seeing Xia Qianqian, who had successfully broken through to the 1-Star Core Realm. He then lifted her to her feet, kissed her lips, and inquired. "How do you feel after breaking through to this stage? Even your brother hasn't reached it yet."

"Haha." Xia Qianqian giggled and wrapped her arms around Zhang Fei [1]'s neck. "At first, I thought it would take me several years to achieve it, but I've achieved it now, which is thanks to you. I'm really happy that I was able to break through to this stage earlier than my brother, so he won't be able to boss me around now, and I can live my own life freely."

"Don't worry, Xia Leng won't be able to control you anymore, especially since your cultivation is higher than his now. Moreover, I will help you improve your cultivation again, so you will be much stronger than him." Zhang Fei [1], then let go of Xia Qianqian and spoke to her again.

"Anyway, you should go see Shi Yue now and take the promotion test to become an inner disciple, so you can move to this area soon."

"Yes, I'll go see Elder Shi now, brother."

After Xia Qianqian left, Zhang Fei [1] immediately sat cross-legged and listened to Liu Hua's voice transmission, which made him satisfied after hearing of the destruction of the Huan Clan. In addition, he listened to Pang Hong's message, which confirmed the outcome he had anticipated.

'Pang De and the others should be in two different regions now to secure the two blood demon trees in those two regions. Unfortunately, they still haven't managed to locate the two trees, so I can't steal them from their hands.'

"Master?" Cheng Yu's call woke Zhang Fei [1] from his thoughts, and she then sat on his lap. "What are you thinking about, Master? Do you want to start dual-cultivating with us again?"

"No." Zhang Fei [1] rejected Cheng Yu by shaking his head. "In the past three days, my cultivation has broken through too much, so I will stop our seclusion to stabilize my cultivation first, but I will still help you guys with my yang qi."

"I see." Cheng Yu nodded in understanding. "Unfortunately, I've been here for three days, so I have to go back to the western region, or my children will be looking for me."

"Master, I also have to go back there to take care of my little brother." Tang Rou abruptly uttered these words as she rose from her bed.

Zhang Fei [1] could understand their situation, so he immediately agreed to their wishes. "All right, I will send you two back to the Chu Clan now. Anyway, once you get there, you can meet Hua'er, and I want you two to help my family take care of our shop and restaurant."

"Yes, Master."

After the two women were dressed, Zhang Fei [1] immediately opened a portal to the Chu Clan, and he closed it again after the two women disappeared from his sight. However, he released a soft sigh as soon as a new notification appeared in his mind.
