Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Lin Moxian had already arrived at the defense center, where Cheng Gaoji, Wang Zhemin, Tantai Lingyan, Yan Yinqing, and Feng Yao were already waiting for them.

It was not difficult for Cheng Gaoji and the others to enter the place, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] did not join them and waited on top of the building in an invisible state, watching the people from the Huang Clan who were getting closer.

"The Huang Clan is still holding themselves back, especially since the strongest among them are Huang Rongyun and Huang Zhiqian, with their cultivation being at the 1-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm. The cultivation of their members is below that, including the two people from the Xiong Clan." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then opened the map and used the nature awareness ability, finding several demons in the distance. "Two archduke demons with cultivation at the 5-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm, huh? I didn't expect Long Jiutian's subordinates to be so powerful, and they used special artifacts to hide their demon auras, so it's no wonder that the Huang Clan is confident in taking over this defense center."

[Do you plan to take any action against them, Master?]

"Do you think I need to make a move, Mei? Have you forgotten about Huo Ling, who is by Feng Yao's side?" Instead, Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked back. "That rude fire spirit is much stronger than all the cultivators in the upper realms, so they can handle these people. However, I will try to get those two demons, and I will absorb their demon essence. With their demon rank and cultivation, I am sure their demon essence is plentiful, and my demon rank will get closer to archduke rank if I absorb their demon essence."

Zhang Fei [4] and Feltia [2] suddenly appeared by Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s side, and they focused their gazes on the two demon archdukes, waiting for an opening to lure them elsewhere. "Let's wait for them to start fighting."

In the defense center, Wang Zhemin and his others provided an explanation to the defense chief of the realm. "Are you sure all the information is accurate, Old Wang?"

"Do you think we would have come here if the information were wrong?" Guan Chenhong turned to Feng Yao. "My parents and the Nameless One are already on their way back to this realm, and Lin Jingxia will arrive here tonight. Additionally, Tian Shuxiang and Yao Shen are also on their way here, as are several others."

Cheng Gaoji urged Guan Chenhong. "Old Guan, activate the barrier now, or it will be too late."

"Old Cheng, if I activate the barrier now, those people will immediately notice it, and they might abandon their intentions." Despite this, Guan Chenhong went to one side of the room and activated all the defense mechanisms in the realm, and he then turned on the screen in front of them, and all the images of the various areas of the realm appeared there.

"There." Yan Yinqing pointed to one of the pictures. "They are people from the Huang and Xiong clans, and they are on their way here to take over this place."

Guan Chenhong enlarged the image before speaking to them. "The Huang Clan underestimated me, especially since Huang Zhejun only sent Huang Rongyun and Huang Zhiqian, and their cultivation is only at the 1-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm."

"Senior Guan, the Huang Clan did not underestimate you, but they were overconfident with their backers." Lin Moxian asked Guan Chenhong to display the other images, and he once again pointed to one of the images. "Those two people are archduke demons, and their cultivation is at the 5-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm, so neither of us can fight them with our cultivation."

Guan Chenhong enlarged the image and looked at the two archduke demons with a serious expression. "What should we do to stop them? If they help the Huang and Xiong clans, they will succeed in taking over this place."

"We don't need to do anything to them, and someone will take care of them for us." Guan Chenhong looked at Feng Yao in confusion. "Trust me, that person is capable of taking care of both demons, so we just need to focus on the people from the Huang and Xiong clans. The Nameless One asked us to capture whoever intends to take over this place, and he will punish their clans later."

Guan Chenhong nodded and displayed the picture showing the location of the people from the Huang and Xiong clans. "They will be here soon, so we have to prepare now, and we will capture them as soon as they come in."

"Let's go." They rushed to the entrance and waited for their enemies there.

On top of the building, Zhang Fei's three clones were already prepared to stop the two archduke demons, but they did not move immediately and waited for the people from the two clans to fall into the trap first.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised an eyebrow as he noticed something shooting towards him, but he didn't have an opportunity to react, and the golden light instantly entered his body. Strangely, the system didn't give any reaction to that. "What kind of thing just entered my body, Mei?"

[Master, I don't know what that thing is, but I detected it in your soul space, so you can see it there yourself.]

Hearing that, Zhang Xiaolong [3] entered his soul space directly, where he found the golden light floating in the middle. Ma Kuangyu and Nalan Yushu were already on the side of the golden light. "Do you two know anything about this thing? This thing radiates purity and holiness stronger than the winged races in my home realm."

"I don't know how this thing found you, but it belonged to someone from that race, kid." Ma Kuangyu answered him.

Nalan Yushu pointed to the golden light. "Master, only winged race members have such a thing, but its owner is not ordinary and should be a high-ranking official."

"Does that mean the owner of this golden light comes from the Paradise Realm?"

"Yes!" Ma Kuangyu and Nalan Yushu answered in unison. "Try using your heavenly fox form and touch this golden light, kid."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] transformed into his complete fox form and touched it with one of his tails. In that instant, the golden light entered his soul and spread throughout him.

[Ding]

[Congratulations! The host's light element has been upgraded to peak stage.]

[Congratulations! The host's light element law has been upgraded to intermediate stage.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was stunned by the appearance of the two notifications, but his vision suddenly became blurry. Ma Kuangyu and Nalan Yushu disappeared from his sight, and the golden-haired woman appeared before him. "As I thought, you are human, but you are also a heavenly fox and a lust demon."

"Who are you? Can you tell me why you decided to help me?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] inquired inquisitively, particularly since the mask obscured her face from his view.

"You will know my name in the future." Tian Huangjin then informed Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "I helped you because you are the most unique existence I have ever met, and you are the only one in this entire universe. A demon named Xereth has ordered his minions to attack your realm, and some of them have already invaded it. Your light element is strong and pure, but it is still not enough to fight them, so I am helping you out a little."

"Xereth!" Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a soft cry as his suspicion was correct that the demon was the mastermind behind his new problem. "Do you know where he is? Did you come from the Paradise Realm?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s second question surprised Tian Huangjin, but he couldn't see her expression. "How did you know about the Paradise Realm?"

"Didn't you see the two souls living in my soul space?" Tian Huangjin shook her head at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "They are cultivators from the Paradise Realm, and I met them by chance. I have met winged races from the three mortal realms, but none of them have your purity and holiness, so I guess you came from that realm."

Tian Huangjin nodded in understanding. "You guessed right; I came from the Paradise Realm, and I came here specifically to hunt down Xereth. Unfortunately, he managed to escape from me, but I didn't expect to meet such a unique living being like you. I don't know where he is now, but he sent his other subordinates to several other realms."

"Do you have any information about those realms?"

Tian Huangjin shared some information about Xereth and his subordinates with Zhang Xiaolong [3], which caused his expression to become serious mixed with anger. "My time is up, and I will wait for you in the Paradise Realm."

After Tian Huangjin disappeared, Ma Kuangyu and Nalan Yushu appeared in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3] again, and both of them looked at him with confused expressions. "Did you meet the owner of the golden light?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at them. "I'll go out now."

When he returned to his body, Zhang Xiaolong [3] saw that the people from the Huang and Xiong clans were already close to the defense center. The two archduke demons were also not far behind them, so he and the two clones prepared to stop the two demons. "Mei, I didn't expect that everything would be related to each other, and Earth was in danger because of me. Moreover, Xereth should be powerful, or else that golden-haired woman wouldn't have hunted him all the way here."

[Since Xereth didn't go to Earth, we still have a chance to save that planet and its inhabitants. Moreover, the female demon won't arrive there that quickly, so we still have plenty of time to think of the best solution for them. For now, you can focus on the two archduke demons, and you can discuss those matters with the others later.]

"Yeah, you're right." Zhang Xiaolong [3] replied with a nod. "They finally arrived."

As soon as the people from the two clans entered the defense center, Zhang Fei [4] and Feltia [2] immediately moved behind the two archduke demons, opening the gate behind them. At the same time, Zhang Xiaolong [3], who had already used his strengthening abilities, immediately moved in front of them and kicked them into the gate.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Feltia [2] caught up with the two archduke demons in the Nine Hells Darkland before closing the gate. Meanwhile, Zhang Fei [4] informed Morgana and Alder of the matter so they could contact the people from their realms.

Inside the defense center, the people from both clans were shocked by Wang Zhemin and the others who immediately surrounded them, and they also closed the entrance. "You didn't expect this, right, Huang Rongyun and Huang Zhiqian?"

"What do you mean, Old Wang?" Huang Zhiqian asked him with feigned ignorance.

Wang Zhemin, Tantai Lingyan, Cheng Gaoji, and Guan Chenhong immediately moved to immobilize him and Huang Rongyun before sealing their cultivation.

Lin Moxian, Yan Yinqing, and Feng Yao immobilized the other people of the two clans, including Xiong Qinglai and Xiong Yinghao.

"What do you mean by doing this to us?" Huang Rongyun asked with a shout.

"Shut up! You don't need to shout!" Cheng Gaoji himself shouted loudly as he stepped on Huang Rongyun's head. "Do you think we don't know that you guys are here to take over this place under Long Jiutian's orders?"

Huang Rongyun and the others instantly froze after Cheng Gaoji said that, and Guan Chenhong spoke to them. "We have long suspected that your Huang Clan is colluding with the demons, but we have not been able to find any evidence. Unfortunately, you guys were too careless this time by bringing Long Jiutian here three days ago, and we already knew that he was a blood dragon demon, so you guys won't be able to deny it anymore."

"The Nameless One is on his way back to this realm, and he already knows about this matter." Huang Rongyun and the others looked at Tantai Lingyan, their bodies trembling. "All of you should already know how much he hates the demons and those who dare to collude with them, right? This time, your two clans will not be able to pretend anymore, and all of you will suffer from his wrath once he returns."

Guan Chenhong then summoned several people and ordered them to take the people from both clans to a special prison, especially since they had to wait for the Nameless One to return to sentence them.

As soon as Guan Chenhong opened the door, Zhang Fei [4] walked immediately in, surprising him. Lin Moxian directly told him. "Old Guan, he is my junior brother, and he is the one who discovered Long Jiutian's whereabouts in this realm."

"Oh?" Guan Chenhong was surprised by that.

Zhang Fei [4] ignored Guan Chenhong and opened the gate to the Phoenix Realm. "Feng Yao, we should go to your realm now because the dark phoenix is ​​on her way there, and Xereth ordered her to destroy your realm."

"You guys wait here! I alone am enough to handle the dark phoenix." Feng Yao and Zhang Fei [4] rushed into the gate, which immediately disappeared.

After they disappeared, Guan Chenhong asked Lin Moxian. "Is he really your junior brother? How can he have similar abilities to the heavenly fox race?"

"Old Guan, you should keep your mouth shut and not mention anything about that kid's abilities to anyone." Guan Chenhong turned to Cheng Gaoji. "He really is Hun Di's disciple, and he is also my boss."

Guan Chenhong's jaw dropped, hearing Cheng Gaoji refer to Zhang Fei as his boss. After all, they lived in the same realm and had known each other for millennia, so he was familiar with his character.

"Where are the two archduke demons now?"

Lin Moxian immediately told Yan Yinqing. "Our junior brother sent the two of them to another realm, so we don't need to think about them. However, I don't know what he will do with them, especially since he decided to take them there suddenly."

"Can he face the two of them by himself? After all, their cultivation is at the 5-Moon Divine Ascendant, right?" Yan Yinqing asked worriedly.

Lin Moxian shook his head with a soft sigh. "I don't know if he can face them by himself, but I know that he is not a reckless person, so he should have a plan for those two. By the way, we have to be prepared to face the Huang and Xiong clans; I'm sure they will come to this place soon if their people don't come back."

In the Nine Hells Realm, the two archduke demons looked confused by their situation, but one of them immediately realized something. "Hey, Yu Xue, I'm sure the ability that mysterious person used to send us here is the same ability as the Heavenly Fox Race."

"Does that mean there is a member of that fox race in the Xianjin Realm, Huan Ying?" Yu Xue asked with a frown.

"However, I'm confused by that because the fox race has never liked humans, so I can't understand the mysterious person's reason for helping them." Huan Ying took out his communication device to contact Long Jiutian, but Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was still in the invisible state, immediately snatched it. "Come out, cowardly fox!"

"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed as he appeared far in front of them, and he used his lust demon form, confusing the two archduke demons. "Unfortunately, you two are mistaken because I am not a heavenly fox, and I am a lust demon lord. I helped those humans because I was bored, and I needed you two to increase my strength."

"Humph!" Huan Ying snorted and turned into a shadow to attack him, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] surprised him by turning into a shadow as well, and the two continued to chase each other in the shadows.

Meanwhile, Yu Xue pointed his index finger in the air, and a cloud of blood quickly formed in the sky. He tried to lock onto Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s movements, but his eyes and senses couldn't follow him. "Tch! Blood Rain!"
