Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1649: Meet Wu Zu

Wu Zu, who was sitting in a daze while watching the cauldron in front of her, turned her gaze towards the entrance. "Hmm? Dong Xuanyin and Demon God Qingxiu? Who is that male lust demon?"

"Didn’t I tell you about him when I came here to ask for the Demon Soul Elixir last time? Dong Xuanyin returned the question with a playful smile.

Qi Qingxiu hugged Zhang Fei [5]’s arm. "He is my husband, Zhang Fei."

"Eh?" Wu Zu was shocked to hear that. Qi Qingxiu was famous among the demon races not only for her status as a demon god but also for her shunning of all male demons who tried to propose to her, including Qiongqi. "Is he really your husband? If those people find out you have chosen him as your husband, they will immediately look for him and kill him."

"Do you think I would choose a weak man as my husband?" Wu Zu raised an eyebrow for a moment. "If you think he’s weak, you can try sparring with him, but don’t be disappointed if he defeats you."

"I—" Wu Zu swallowed her words when she felt Zhang Fei [5] had moved behind her, and the one beside Qi Qingxiu immediately disappeared. "An illusion? Since when did you use your technique?"

"The moment Qingxiu said that you shouldn’t be disappointed if you lose to me." Wu Zhu looked back, but Zhang Fei [5] had already disappeared, and she immediately returned her gaze to the front. "I didn’t come here to talk about me, and I came here to ask you about Shang Zhanluo’s condition."

Wu Zu shook her head. "Dong Xuanyin already explained to me regarding Shang Zhanluo’s condition, and I already told her that I couldn’t cure him."

"At least, you can see the condition first and give your opinion about it." Zhang Fei [5] created a qi scree, showing Shang Zhanluo’s condition. "What do you think?"

"Fuck!" Wu Zu screamed as she stood up. Her eyes trembled when she saw Shang Zhanluo’s condition on the qi screen. "Wu Han is truly insane! I don’t know what Sha Mo promised her for she used the forbidden ancient potion on the asura demon god."

"The forbidden ancient potion."

"Yes." Wu Zu waved her hand and created a qi screen, showing a potion. "That’s the Bloodfiend Frenzy Elixir! Wu Han concocted it and gave it to the asura demon god! The effect will make him completely lose reason; he will attack friends and foes when it reaches its peak. The side effect is that his cultivation veins will rupture and turn him into a cripple, and his lifespan will be reduced by more than half."

Zhang Fei [5], Dong Xuanyin, and Qi Qingxiu were shocked. "Can you make an antidote for that elixir?"

"I can concoct the antidote," Wu Zu replied with a nod. "However, I’ll need time to find the ingredients, and some of them are extremely rare even for my kin. Besides, I have a long-standing grudge with the Asura Demon God, so I won’t help him without a good reason."

"Wu Zu, I understand your enmity with Shang Zhanluo, but this universe is facing a serious problem."

Wu Zu frowned at Dong Xuanyin, but Zhang Fei [5] immediately changed the image on his qi screen, displaying those shadowy creatures. "What kind of creatures are those? Why haven’t I seen them before?"

"Because those creatures do not exist in this Paradise Realm." Wu Zu looked at Zhang Fei [5]. "We call them shadowy creatures, and they emerge from the core of the universe. According to someone, those creatures were imprisoned within the core, but something happened and freed them. For now, they only appear in the Ancient Realm, but it does not rule out the possibility that they will invade this Paradise Realm someday."

"Someone? The Ancient Realm?"

Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. "Have you ever gone to the Forbidden Land and met merchants there?"

"Yes! I went to the Forbidden Land and bought some items from those merchants several times, but what is their relationship with the Ancient Realm?"

"The Forbidden Land was once part of the Ancient Realm, and the merchants came from that realm once every few hundred years." Wu Zu looked at Zhang Fei [5] as her eyes blinked a few times. "You may not believe me, but that’s the truth. Oh! There’s a beast beside me, and it’s the mount of a member of the Puyang Clan, so I’ll summon it now."

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu looked around as soon as Zhang Fei [5] summoned him from the beast space. "Eh? This isn’t the Ancient Realm but the Paradise Realm, right?"

"Yes," Zhang Fei [5] pointed at Wu Zhu, whose jaw had fallen open. "She doesn’t believe that the Ancient Realm exists, so I want to summon you out of my beast space to help explain to her."

"I still find it hard to believe that you can bring me to this realm, Zhang Fei. The qi in this realm is strong, but it is much weaker than the qi in the Ancient Realm, so I’m not surprised that the cultivators in this realm are so weak." Ancient Leiyu Tianlu looked at Wu Zhu. "A witch demon, huh? Her cultivation is at the 3-Sun Celestial Venerable Realm, but she’s too weak compared to me."

Wu Zu scowled at his remark, but she realized that the male beast in front of her was indeed stronger than her, even though their cultivation was equal.

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu smiled mockingly when he saw her expression. "A naive little demon! The Ancient Realm does exist, and one of its portals is located in the Forbidden Land! Unfortunately, the portal is sealed, so no cultivators from this realm can go there, but people from there can come here freely. There is only one person from this realm who can go there, and that person is Zhang Fei."

"Hmm?" Wu Zu looked at Zhang Fei [5] with a frown. "How did you get to the Ancient Realm?"

"I couldn’t go to that realm by myself, and someone took me there."

"Who?"

"What?" Ancient Leiyu Tianlu screamed. "Have you really gone to the Ancient Realm?"

Zhang Fei [5] nodded at him. "My real body has already gone to the Cangxuan Domain before, and—"

"You’ve really gone mad!" Ancient Leiyu Tianlu shouted angrily. "I told you not to go there because those shadowy creatures will chase you, but you didn’t listen to me!"

"Hey! Calm down, okay? I wasn’t there alone, and I was accompanied by a void dragon and Guang Zhiyi."

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu’s eyes widened. "What did you say? Did you say Guang Zhiyi accompanied you there? But how—"

"Guang Zhiyi died long ago, but her reincarnation is still alive, and you’ve met her." Ancient Leiyu Tianlu didn’t believe it. "Do you remember the crimson-haired woman who went to the Forbidden Land with me years ago?"

"Feng Yao? Is she really Guang Zhiyi’s reincarnation?"

"Yes," Zhang Fei [5] summoned Tian Taiyang and Yin Yue from his soul world.

Wu Zu was shocked when Tian Taiyang and Yin Yue appeared before them. ’Who are these two people? They’re both just souls, right?’

"Oh?" Ancient Leiyu Tianlu was surprised to see the two of them. "The leader of the Silver Moon Clan, and one of the elders of the Golden Sun Clan. I didn’t expect you two to still be alive, and you were with Zhang Fei."

"Hahaha," Tian Taiyang laughed. "It’s been a long time since I saw you, Tianlu. Although I’m still alive now, this is only my soul, and I still need a long time to be able to reform my body."

"Hey, little bird, where is your master?"

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu scowled upon hearing Yin Yue address him as such. "My master and the others are protecting the Puyang Clan from those shadowy creatures, and he sent me here to protect Zhang Fei."

"Tch... Tch..." Yin Yue shook her head. "Guang Zhiyi is by Zhang Fei’s side, so he doesn’t need protection from a weak bird like you."

"You’re the weak one, you dead woman!" Ancient Leiyu Tianlu furiously shouted. "You were powerful in the past, but you have been dead for so long, and I can erase your soul if I want to!"

"Humph!" Yin Yue snorted. "Zhang Fei, please send us back to your soul world."

"Alright," Zhang Fei [5] sent Tian Taiyang and Yin Yue back inside. "You heard it yourself, right? Feng Yao is Guang Zhiyi’s reincarnation, and she’s beside my real body right now. Besides, we’re traveling through the void, and those shadowy creatures can’t catch up to us, so we’ll be fine. By the way, does the Puyang Clan have a reliable alchemist? I need some alchemy items to concoct the two pills, but those ingredients don’t exist in this Paradise Realm."

"The Puyang Clan has several alchemists, but the best among them is Puyang Kongque. Besides, the Puyang Clan has a vast herb field, and they have a large collection of rare herbs. However, I don’t recommend you go there, especially with those creatures still continuously attacking them. Did you really fight those creatures before?"

Zhang Fei [5] nodded slightly. "I have fought with those creatures in the Cangxuan Domain, and their numbers are enormous. Even though I have used all my strength and advantages, I can only kill a few of them. The core creature is even stronger, and it has already destroyed the domain into dust."

"You must be careful, Zhang Fei. If they find you and kill you, this universe will be doomed." Ancient Leiyu Tianlu sighed. "Please send me back to your beast space, and you can summon me again if you need my help."
