Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1767: Mo Qingwen - Gu Yanshu

"Return." The Demon Extermination Sword returned to Zhang Fei’s hand as soon as he jumped down from the tree, with Jian Hei’an and Jian Guang’an sitting on his shoulders.

Zhang Fei checked the heads of dozens of beast corpses, but he couldn’t find a single perfect demon core, and he only discovered other grades of demon cores.

"Tch! Perfect demon cores are hard to get!" Zhang Fei muttered in annoyance.

[I think you should hunt demon beasts with a cultivation at the Celestial Venerable Realm, Master. All the demon beasts in that area have cultivation below that, so their beast core is below perfect grade.]

"Yes," Zhang Fei thought the same as Mei. "The upgrade will be completed in half a year, right?"

[Yes, Master. You have been so busy over the past few months, and the system will undergo major changes in six months.]

"I can’t wait for the changes."

"Master!" Jian Guang’an pointed towards the front. "There are many powerful demon beasts in that area."

Zhang Fei looked in that direction and checked the system map. "Sigh! The strength of all the demon beasts in this forest is limited to the Celestial Emperor Realm! We must go to other forests to find stronger demon beasts, specifically those in the Celestial Venerable Realm."

Jian Guang’an and Jian Hei’an exchanged glances for a moment. "The two of us will follow wherever you go, Master."

"Haha," Zhang Fei laughed. "Guang’an and Hei’an, I’m really lucky to have you two by my side! You two have accompanied me for so long!"

"Haha," Jian Guang’an softly laughed. "I myself am happy to stay by your side, Master. If it weren’t for you, my sister and I would never be able to take revenge against Xereth."

"Our family should be at peace in the afterlife, Master." Jian Hei’an said, her eyes filled with longing.

Zhang Fei sighed. "Xereth is still alive in the Star Tower now, so—"

"You don’t have to do that, Master," The two female sword spirits interrupted. "Even though Xereth is still alive, he will never be able to leave that place, so we are satisfied with the result."

"Do you two really not want to kill Xereth?"

The two female sword spirits shook their heads at Zhang Fei. "Living in torment is far more painful than dying, right, Master?"

"Yes."

"Just let Xereth remain imprisoned in the Star Tower, Master."

Zhang Fei pondered for a while before speaking to them. "Since you two want it that way, I will send one of my clones to the Star Tower, and I will ask that old man to torture Xereth more severely."

Jian Guang’an and Jian Hei’an said nothing more, and they left the matter of Xereth to Zhang Fei.

Thereafter, Zhang Fei searched for demon beasts with cultivation at the Celestial Venerable Realm. Even without using the Soul Link to borrow Feng Yao’s power, he was confident of defeating any demon beasts with cultivation at that level.

After finding a suitable location, Zhang Fei led the two female sword spirits away from their current location and headed towards another forest.

Not long after they left, two women appeared at the location. They were none other than Xuanyuan Yue and her contract beast, Huli Chenying.

"That kid is really interesting, Master! No wonder you fell in love with him!" Huli Chenying said in a teasing tone.

Xuanyuan Yue sighed. "Zhang Fei is similar to my father, and both of them are unfaithful! Honestly, I never liked men like them, but I subconsciously had feelings for him."

"Hehe," Huli Chenying giggled. "Even though they are unfaithful, they love all their wives, right? Zhang Fei even thought of a way to revive the two female sword spirits, which is obviously impossible to do."

Xuanyuan Yue shook her head. "Actually, reviving the two female sword spirits isn’t difficult, Sister Chenying. However, we can’t use ordinary methods to revive them, and Zhang Fei must find some items to fulfill his wish."

"Some items?"

"Yes," Xuanyuan Yue nodded. "One of the items is the Reincarnation Stone, but the stone only exists in the Primordial Realm, and Zhang Fei doesn’t have the ability to go there yet. Feng Yao should already know about this matter, but she hasn’t told him about it. If she tells him now, he will be impatient to go there, and he will die at the hands of the two primordial beasts."

"What about other items?"

"They exist in this Ancient Realm, but Zhang Fei had to fight hard to get them. One of those items should be in Jiu Tou Sen’s hands, and that beast is quite troublesome. If he wants to fight that beast, he must evolve into the ten-tailed fox first; otherwise, he will lose or even die."

"That’s impossible, right? Feng Yao and Huo Ling are by Zhang Fei’s side, and they will help him defeat that beast."

"You underestimate Jiu Tou Sen, Sister Chenying." Xuanyuan Xue’er sighed. "That demon beast is not at the same level as Hu Tianlang or the two primordial demon beasts, but his nine heads have different abilities, and he is almost immortal."

Huli Chenying raised an eyebrow. "So, Jiu Tou Sen is the only living creature that is close to immortality in this universe?"

"No," Xuanyuan Yue shook her head. "The only immortal beast in this universe is the Chaos Beast, and it will never die as long as this universe still exists."

"What about Feng Yao? She has the Immortal Reincarnation Physique, right?"

"The Immortal Reincarnation Physique allows Feng Yao to reincarnate repeatedly while retaining her memories and strength, but the physique does not make her immortal. She is the embodiment of the core of this universe, and she will die for real if this universe is destroyed."

"Even the Immortal Reincarnation Physique can’t save her?"

"The Immortal Reincarnation Physique isn’t omnipotent, Sister Chenying. If this universe is destroyed, everything will disappear, and Feng Yao will die." Xuanyuan Yue fell silent in thought. "The most omnipotent physique in this universe is the Primal Origin Physique, but I don’t know its location. Feng Yao should know its location, but I don’t know why she hasn’t told Zhang Fei about it."

"Will Zhang Fei be able to match your father if he gets that physique?"

"I don’t have any information about the Primal Origin Physique, so I don’t have an answer to your question, and the only person who knows the answer is Feng Yao."

Huli Chenying hugged Xuanyuan Yue’s arm. "Do you want to see Zhang Fei, Master? I know you’re worried about some things, but everything has been in disarray since you accidentally killed him, so I don’t think you need to worry too much about it."

"Why do you want me to be with Zhang Fei so much?"

"Hehe," Huli Chenying laughed softly. "Master, you’re no longer young, so you should start thinking about your future. Besides, your mother has long wanted a grandchild, and you’ve fallen in love with Zhang Fei, so I think you should meet him and give yourself to him."

Xuanyuan Yue smiled bitterly when she recalled her mother’s words about grandchildren. "Let’s follow Zhang Fei for now."

"Wait a minute, Master." Huli Chenying transformed into her fox beast form, opened her mouth wide, and sucked in all the beast corpses beneath them. Soon, she returned to her human form and licked her lips. "The demon beasts in this universe aren’t as tasty as the ones in our universe, but I have no choice but to eat them."

"Haha," Xuanyuan Yue tugged at Huli Chenying’s ear. "You are such a foodie, Sister Chenying! You say that, but your appetite is never satisfied even if you eat hundreds of beasts in our universe."

Huli Chenying pouted her lips. "Did you forget that I became like this because of you, Master? If you didn’t—"

"Alright... Alright... my bad... you don’t need to discuss it anymore." Xuanyuan Yue took Huli Chenying and followed Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei had already arrived at his next destination, and he encountered several demon beasts with cultivation at the Celestial Venerable Realm. He was still unaware that Xuanyuan Yue and Huli Chenying were following him because they were stronger than him, and the system was the former’s creation.

After he deactivated the soul link, Zhang Fei went to the location of those beasts and fought with them. He didn’t borrow Feng Yao’s power because he wanted to use them as his training opponents, and he believed that his strength was enough to fight them.

.

.

.

Unbeknownst to Zhang Fei, someone was watching him from a faraway area, and that person was none other than Mo Qingwen. "That kid is interesting, and he wants to lure me to him."

"What are you thinking, husband?" A mature and graceful female demon asked as she walked toward Mo Qingwen.

Mo Qingwen embraced the woman’s waist. "I found a young male demon, and he tried to lure me to him, Gu Yanshu."

"Oh?" Gu Yanshu was taken aback for a moment. "Who is that man? Where is he now?"

"There." Mo Qingwen pointed in Zhang Fei’s direction. "I don’t know his name, but he seems to have a close relationship with Hua Qianmei."

"Hua Qianmei?" Gu Yanshu frowned. "Was that woman the one who brought him to our domain?"

"You’re wrong about that," Mo Qingwen denied with a shake of his head. "The one who brought him to our domain was the little female demon by Hua Qianmei’s side."

Gu Yanshu raised an eyebrow. "If I remember correctly, her name is Yuan Xiajie, and she is the only remaining descendant of her demon race."

"That’s right." Mo Qingwen nodded. "That little girl is quite pitiful because Meng Zhou slaughtered her demon race, and Hua Qianmei took her as her sister."
