Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

"If-"

*Crack.*

Xian Feng and the others immediately turned to Xian Qifeng and Luo Qinglin, who had just arrived. "What about the second floor? Did you two manage to pass the first challenge?"

"Uncle Feng, the challenge on the second floor is too difficult, even though the main requirement is only the Heaven Realm." Xian Qifeng then led his wife to sit on an empty chair. "There's no way we can pass it with the few of us, and according to my calculations, we need at least twenty people to pass it. Moreover, their minimum cultivation must be in the quasi-divine realms, or they won't be able to survive if their cultivation is below that."

Luo Qinglin then joined in. "The only cultivator below the quasi-divine realm who was able to survive the challenge was Zhang Fei."

"What do you think about Zhang Fei?" Xiao Luo asked his son and daughter-in-law.

"Formidable!" Xian Luo was surprised by their answer.

Xian Qifeng immediately explained the various events in the challenges on the first floor, starting with Zhang Fei's strength challenge, the battle challenge, and the final boss in the maze challenge.

"Honestly, I feel embarrassed to tell you all this, Father." Xian Qifeng said it with a bitter smile. "My cultivation is at the 2-Moon Divine Transcend Realm, but I can't get close to the beast. Zhang Fei, with his cultivation at the Earth Realm, fought with the beast at close range. He directed us to attack it, and we wouldn't have made it through if it weren't for him. In the end, the beast died in his hands, and we got a wonderful reward from the challenge."

"The reward allowed my cultivation to touch the final barrier to the seven divine realms, and I will try to break through tonight, Father." Luo Qinglin informed Xian Luo.

Xian Luo nodded. "You guys can rest now, and you must be careful in your breakthrough, Qinglin."

"Yes, Father." After that, Xian Qifeng and Luo Qinglin said goodbye to Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang before leaving them.

Xian Luo then asked Xian Feng. "Why didn't you ever tell me about Zhang Fei's abilities, Second Brother? At first, I was confused by your reasons for sending him to our sect, and I was pessimistic about his chances of passing the strength challenge. It turns out that my guess was wrong, and he actually helped our children get through all the challenges on the first floor. Moreover, I noticed that he was very close to Xianqin, and they seemed to be interested in each other."

"Hahaha." Xian Feng laughed after listening to Xian Luo's words. "Zhang Fei asked me not to tell anyone about his abilities, and I promised him. Moreover, I was sure that Qifeng and Qinglin would tell you everything after they returned from the tower, so I didn't say anything."

"We sent our daughter to Zhang Fei to establish a good relationship with him, but she actually developed feelings for him." Xian Luo looked at Shi Qingzhuang with surprise because they had not been in contact for too long, and his niece had been avoiding men since Yun Aoxian rejected her. "Changyue was also with them, and she told me some things about what happened between them. They were trapped in a bedroom, and my daughter was exposed to an aphrodisiac, but he didn't do anything to her and knocked her out of the cold. If another man had been in his position, my daughter would have lost her virginity, and that incident deepened her attraction to him."

"Enough talking about them." Xian Feng then put on a serious expression. "As I told you before, I crippled Li Yiping and his two sons, and I sent them to the farthest village. Zhang Fei told me that our big brothers would go with Ximen Gongfu and Zheng Moyue to the Star Tower, and they would be gone for a long time. It is a good opportunity to get rid of his loyal followers, and our kingdom will no longer be divided into two factions like in the past few decades."

"When will we make our move, Second Brother?"

"Since you are the sect master of our sect, you can send the strongest people on their side elsewhere, and we will gradually cleanse this sect of their people." Xian Feng then thought for a while. "I don't know if any demons are hiding in this sect, but Zhang Fei should be able to detect them. I will ask him for help to reveal their identity, and I will deal with them straight away."

"I will arrange everything starting tomorrow, and you can send your aides to follow them. That way, they can immobilize those people outside this sect so as not to arouse suspicion from their friends." After Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang left, Xian Luo immediately leaned back in his chair and massaged his forehead. "Why are you so ambitious, Big Brother? None of this would have happened if you hadn't betrayed us! Moreover, you didn't know that our parents are still alive in the upper realms, and they would be furious if they found out you did that."

After that, Xian Luo contacted his trusted men and ordered them to prepare everything, which surprised them. Even so, they immediately followed his order because their sects and kingdoms had been divided for too long, and they hoped that the situation could return to normal, especially with the Zhou and Huangfu Kingdoms still ambitious to conquer their kingdoms.

When Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang returned to the palace, they found a guest chatting with Yang Caojing while waiting for them to return. They naturally recognized their guest's identity, especially since he was the man from the Bai Kingdom that Zhang Fei had left behind in the Star Tower.

The man's normal behavior puzzled Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang, especially considering their knowledge of Huangfu Shou's control over him. However, they immediately guessed that Zhang Fei had freed him from the evil emperor, which made them wonder how.

"Emperor Xian! Empress Shi." The man immediately stood up and greeted the two respectfully. "Please forgive me for my sudden arrival, but I have a serious matter to discuss with the two of you, which concerns my Emperor and Empress."

"Please sit down, Bai Hunyao." After Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang sat down, the man immediately took a seat and explained everything to them, particularly about Huangfu Shou's actions against his Bai Kingdom. He also told them about the disappearance of Bai Chongxi, Bai Renfu, and Bai Shouyi. The two of them were naturally not surprised about the three, especially since Xian Changyue had already told them that Zhang Fei had sent them to another realm. "We already know about the man behind that evil emperor, but we don't know his exact identity yet. However, we suspect that he came from the upper realms, so we cannot act rashly against them. As for the two princes and the princess, you don't need to worry about them, and they are in a safe place now."

"How can you be sure that they are safe, Emperor Xian? Where are they now? Do you know the identity of the mysterious woman? Did she hide them?" Bai Hunyao asked with a look of disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, you don't need to ask for my help, and you can take care of your kingdom's affairs by yourself." Bai Hunyao immediately apologized to Xian Feng. "I have met the mysterious woman, and her name is Feng Yao. She comes from the upper realm, and she is far stronger than all cultivators in this realm, including the Beast Emperor Long and the Elf Emperor Xian. Anyway, you're correct that she has hidden the three of them, but I'm unsure of their exact location. I dare to guarantee that they are completely safe, so you don't need to worry about them."

Bai Yunhao nodded to Xian Feng. "Since you trust that woman, I will also trust her regarding their safety, Emperor Xian."

"You don't need to return to Bai Kingdom, and you can stay in our kingdom for the time being." Shi Qingzhuang then turned to Yang Caojing. "Bring him to that place so that Huangfu Shou and Bai Yaowei's spies will not be able to find him, or his presence here will bring trouble to us."

"Yes, Empress." Yang Caojing immediately led Bai Yunhao away.

Shi Qingzhuang then asked her husband. "Do you have any plans regarding Bai Yaowei and the Bai Kingdom?"

"No." Xian Feng replied with a shake of his head. "Zhang Fei has taken the three of them away, so I will go see him tomorrow and inquire about both kingdoms. If he already has plans for them, I will devise another plan to support him."

Shi Qingzhuang agreed with that. "I will go with you to meet him, especially since I want to buy things from his shop."

Zhang Fei [1], who was preparing to close his shop, was surprised by the arrival of a woman. "When are you coming back from the tower, Senior Sister Tian'er?"

"A few hours ago, but I took a break because the first challenge on the second floor was really difficult, and we miserably failed because there were only a few of us." Bai Tian'er then told Zhang Fei [1] about the challenge. "Anyway, I want to buy some things, especially those mattresses."

"Let me show you all the items I sell in this shop." Zhang Fei [1] then guided Bai Tian'er through the shop, explaining the various items and their respective uses. However, Bai Tian'er's expression turned embarrassed as they passed the sex toys section. "Are you interested in buying them?"

Bai Tian'er immediately put on a sour face. "I'm still a virgin and don't have a lover, so I can't possibly buy those items, right? The story will be different if you are willing to accept me, and I won't mind if you use them with me."

"Haha." Zhang Fei [1] simply laughed and guided Bai Tian'er to look at the other items.

In the end, Bai Tian'er purchased a significant number of items, including mattresses, winter clothes, pills, and various other items. "Are you going to close your shop soon? It's almost midnight, and the streets are quiet. If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you after this."

"I'm going to close this shop now, and I'll go see all my dual cultivation partners right after this." Bai Tian'er looked at Zhang Fei [1] in confusion as she never knew that he had dual cultivation partners before. "Apart from my 19 wives, I have 22 partners. As for you, even though your family was expelled from the Bai royal family, you are still a princess. That's why you should stop approaching me, especially since the number of my women will continue to increase in the future. You don't want to have a lustful husband like me, right?"

Bai Tian'er wanted to say something to Zhang Fei [1], but she remembered her master's previous words, so she swallowed her words back. "You're right. I don't like that kind of man, let alone choose that kind of man as my husband."

"In that case, you can forget about your desire to approach me, especially since I'm not the ideal type of man for you." Zhang Fei [1] casually said it.

Bai Tian'er didn't say anything in response, and she immediately turned to leave the shop. However, she was surprised by the woman who had just walked in, especially since she was quite familiar with her. 'Huan Ya? Does she have a special relationship with Zhang Fei?'

Huan Ya just nodded to Bai Tian'er and immediately went over to Zhang Fei [1], and she reported a few things to him. "What should I do next?"

"Nothing." Zhang Fei [1] then pulled Huan Ya into his arms and gave her a quick kiss, causing Bai Tian'er to frown in the distance. "I want you to accompany me tonight, and we will spend the night together."

'This guy! He deliberately used me to inflame Princess Bai!' Huan Ya inwardly grumbled as she glanced at Bai Tian'er.

Bai Tian'er could only sigh in her heart and leave the shop, but she still did not give up on her hopes of getting Zhang Fei [1]. After witnessing all his abilities in the Star Tower, she firmly believed that he was the only person who could help her and her family regain their rights.

Zhang Fei [1] then questioned Huan Ya. "Has your cultivation approached the final barrier?"

"Not yet." Huan Ya replied with a disappointed look. "Your pills and Yang Qi have brought many changes in me, but I feel that the final barrier is still far from my reach, so I don't know when I can break through to the seven divine realms."

"Wait for me; I'll close the shop first." Huan Ya was confused by that, but Zhang Fei [1] had already rushed to organize the messy things. Once he had tidied everything up, he took her away with him. "Did anyone from the alchemy union contact you?"

Huan Ya immediately told Zhang Fei [1] about the matter. "Cheng Feng reported the condition of Lian Jinshu's family to the higher-ups, and they decided to send someone over. Even though they stripped him of his status, he had done a lot for the organization, so they wanted to help him restore their condition."

"When will that person arrive in this realm?"

"I don't know when that person will leave the headquarters, so I don't know when he will arrive in this realm." Zhang Fei [1] frowned for a moment, but he quickly shrugged it off. "Where are we going?"

"Close your eyes first." Huan Ya followed Zhang Fei [1]'s orders without asking anything.

A few moments later, they were already inside the portable mansion, and the presence of 14 women inside surprised Huan Ya. 'Where is this place? Are these women his women?'

"Oh? Is she your new partner, Fei?" Du Yuan asked immediately.

"Do you need to ask that?" Ning Xiang asked her best friend while shaking her head. "Since Fei brought her here, she must be his new partner, and this place will be more lively."

Huan Ya raised her eyebrows after hearing that, but she was sure that Zhang Fei [1] would do something to her sooner or later, especially after he kissed her a few times and gave her his precious pills and Yang Qi.

Luo Yu then teased him. "You always manage to get new partners, Fei. Anyway, Qingya told us that she was ready to be your partner, especially after she watched our dual cultivation too many times."

Zhang Fei [1] looked at Yue Qingya, who turned her face away in embarrassment. However, he did not immediately take her away, instead asking Yan Luan'er a question. "Are you satisfied with torturing Thish?"

Yan Luan'er shrugged helplessly. "That female demon is already a living corpse now, so there's no point in me torturing her any further. If you want to kill her, you can kill her directly."

"Yeah." Zhang Fei [1] then walked into Thish's room. "Anyway, one of you can explain to Huan Ya about soul cultivation, and I'll also teach you guys a new technique later."

When Zhang Fei [1] mentioned a new technique, it excited everyone, and Xi Zihua immediately explained soul cultivation to Huan Ya.

Both notifications appeared as Zhang Fei [1] entered Thish's room, and he approached the succubus duchess, who was hanging helplessly.

[Don't you want to use her to increase your demon rank, master?]

"No." Zhang Fei [1] immediately rejected that. "Thish's female essence should be as high as Orith and Ilsath, but I never intended to use her, and I had planned from the start to kill her after Yan Luan'er had had her fill of venting her anger on her."
