Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1810: Qian Yan, Huang Yuanzhi, and Xu Yuanzhi

Zhang Fei looked at Feng Jinhuang. "Defeating Qian Yan is out of the question, but we must ensure that we won’t suffer too many casualties in the process. After all, we don’t have detailed information on all of his eye abilities, and he might have some abilities that he’s never shown to the public in the past."

"Don’t look at me." Dong Xuanyin shook her head at Feng Jinhuang, as did Qi Qingxiu, Ye Mingran, Nalan Shizhu, and the other demon gods. "The main reason Qian Yan holds the last rank of the ten demon gods is because he never showed his true abilities. However, you should be able to guess his strength since Mo Shentian didn’t dare attack him, and the latter always avoided direct confrontation with him."

"In fact, I have fought with Qian Yan in the past, but I only lasted a few minutes in our fight." Everyone’s attention immediately fell on Jiu Moze. "I don’t know what kind of ability he used on me at that time, but I felt that I fought with him for hundreds of years. When I returned to my senses, I realized that only a few minutes had passed since our fight began, and my nine subordinates were already dead by my side. Even though he didn’t kill me, the gaze he gave me was full of contempt, disgust, and ridicule. Since then, I didn’t dare challenge him again, and I always avoided getting into trouble with him."

"Me too." Ku Shenzu joined in. "I tried challenging Qian Yan once, but I ended up losing miserably, and I suffered a heavy injury for several hundred years because of it. I don’t know what kind of ability he used on me back then, but I was already lying on the ground covered in blood when I regained consciousness, and all my internal organs were badly damaged. Fortunately, he didn’t cripple my cultivation; otherwise, my demon race would have perished for a long time ago."

"What about you?"

Sha Mo smiled bitterly at Zhang Fei’s question. "Like Jiu Moze and Ku Shenzu, I also fought Qian Yan in the past. At that time, he didn’t use his true strength or abilities, but I didn’t stand a chance against him from the start, and our fight ended with my crushing defeat."

"So, among the ten demon gods, only Qi Qingxiu, Ye Mingran, my mother-in-law, and Wu Mian have never fought with Qian Yan, right?" Sha Mo and the other four nodded to Zhang Fei.

Dong Xuanyin suddenly remembered something. "Husband, the four perils once fought Qian Yan in the past, and he toyed with them. I don’t know the exact details of their fight back then, but he emerged victorious even though the four of them ganged up on him."

"Qian Yan is the most troublesome opponent in this Paradise Realm! Mo Shentian’s abilities are also troublesome, but they are nothing compared to his." Zhang Fei fell silent for a few minutes. "If I can’t find a way to fight him without bloodshed, I’ll ask Huo Ling to fight him."

Zhang Fei actually didn’t want to rely on Huo Ling to defeat Qian Yan, and he wanted to subdue him with his own abilities; only then would he submit to him completely. He had already fought with the illusion of the demon beast god in the Tower of Eternity, which gave him a little bit of understanding about some of his abilities.

Thereafter, the banquet continued with light-hearted discussions, including Zhang Fei’s plan to move all races to move to the Ancient Realm, which excited them.

After the banquet was over, Zhang Fei sent everyone back to their respective domains. Like before, he sent Long Wuzhao back to his beast space because the two primordial beasts were still targeting him, and he couldn’t stay in the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain forever.

Zhang Fei sent Hua Qianmei, Gongsun Zhilan, Gongsun Jiuxue, Mo Cangyue, Yuan Xiajie, Nalan Shizhe, and all his demon wives back to the Myriad Abyss Domain.

Zhang Fei’s demon wives, except for Qi Qingxiu, Ye Mingran, and Dong Xuanyin, went to the secluded place to continue their cultivation. The rest went to the Myriad Abyss Demon Dungeon to continue looking for demon materials.

As for Zhang Fei’s other wives, they decided to enter the training space and carry out seclusion there.

One of Zhang Fei’s clones accompanied by Huo Ling went to the Frozen Yin Domain. He captured two female yin demons and took them to the training space, where four of his clones absorbed their yin qi and cultivated. As for his last clone, he was on standby in the Paradise Realm to anticipate the two primordial beasts’ next move.

"Hmm?" Qian Yan, who was sleeping, immediately opened his eyes as soon as he felt the appearance of Huang Yuanzhi and Xu Yuanzhi. He was quite confused by their sudden arrival, and he immediately reverted to his human form. "Why did you come here?"

"I want you to attack the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain." Qian Yan was slightly surprised by Xu Yuanzhi’s answer. "If you manage to capture Long Wuzhao for us, I will give you a good opportunity to improve yourself by taking you to the Ancient Realm."

"The Ancient Realm?" Xu Yuanzhi explained to Qian Yan some things about the Ancient Realm that caught his attention. "A realm higher than the Paradise Realm really exists, huh?"

"The Ancient Realm truly exists, but no cultivator from this Paradise Realm has ever been able to reach that place, except for one person."

"Who?"

"Zhang Fei."

"Who is he?"

"Zhang Fei is the sole heir of the ten-tailed fox, Hu Tianlang."

Qian Yan had heard of the legend of Hu Tianlang, but he had never met him before. "Are you serious about that?"

"Do I need to lie to you?" Xu Yuanzhi created two qi screens. One of them showed his previous meeting with Hu Tianlang, and the other showed Zhang Fei’s figure. "That male fox is Hu Tianlang, and the other is Zhang Fei."

Qian Yan squinted his eyes, observing Zhang Fei’s figure. "How could he know about the Ancient Realm and go there? Is it because he is Hu Tianlang’s sole heir?"

"Apart from being Hu Tianlang’s sole heir, he has a close relationship with the strongest female cultivator of this Paradise Realm."

"Empress Huo Yanling." Qian Yan could immediately guess that because he himself was afraid of Feng Yao.

Xu Yuanzhi nodded. "That woman has many identities, and one of them is Shen Yuanzhi."

"Shen Yuanzhi?" Qian Yan had never heard that name before.

"You could say that Shen Yuanzhi is on our level."

Qian Yan took a deep breath as he stared at Xu Yuanzhi and Huang Yuanzhi. He knew that the two male beasts in front of him were powerful, but they didn’t dare attack him for some reason.

"Shen Yuanzhi showed Zhang Fei the path leading to the Ancient Realm, and they had already gone there several months ago."

Qian Yan was silent for a moment. "What is Zhang Fei’s relationship with Long Wuzhao?"

"Zhang Fei is Long Wuzhao’s ally, and they defeated us twice." Qian Yan was a little surprised. "Our first fight was a few months ago; he was helped by Shen Yuanzhi to defeat us. The second fight just ended, and the four perils were lost at his hands."

Qian Yan was shocked because he knew that Taotie and his three brothers were quite powerful. "Are the four perils dead?"

"They’re not dead yet, but they’re not far from their deaths."

Qian Yan thought about it deeply. "If Zhang Fei, Empress Huo Yanling, and Long Wuzhao succeed in defeating the four perils, doesn’t that mean you are sending me to die?"

"The situation has changed a bit, and that woman won’t be able to help them anymore." Xu Yuanzhi showed Qian Yan the process when Feng Yao’s cultivation broke through. "That woman’s cultivation has already exceeded the limits of this Paradise Realm, and she cannot appear in this realm again forever. Without her help, Zhang Fei and Long Wuzhao don’t have enough strength to fight you, let alone defeat you."

"What do you mean by her cultivation has exceeded the limits of this Paradise Realm?" After all, none of the cultivators in the Paradise Realm knew the stages of cultivation after the Five Celestial Realms, including Qian Yan.

Huang Yuanzhi, who had been silent for a long time, immediately spoke. "Why do you ask so many questions?"

"Heh! Both of your avatars are indeed stronger than me, but you won’t be able to defeat me like you defeated the four perils." Huang Yuanzhi was furious with Qian Yan, but Xu Yuanzhi stopped him because the demon beast god was their final key. "I’m quite interested in the Ancient Realm, so I might help you guys capture Zhang Fei and Long Wuzhao. However, I won’t help you two without valid proof, and I want you to take me to that realm first before I make a move on them."

Huang Yuanzhi snorted. "If you want to die, we’ll take you to the Ancient Realm."

"What do you mean by that?" Qian Yan narrowed his eyes.

"The situation in the Ancient Realm is unsafe, and many powerful creatures are roaming there." Xu Yuanzhi changed the image on the qi screen and displayed those shadowy creatures. "I don’t know their origins, but they have invaded many domains in the Ancient Realm and controlled many living creatures there. We can take you to that realm, but they will come for you as soon as you set foot there, and they will control you by taking over your body."

"In that case—"

"Wait." Xu Yuanzhi stopped Qian Yan. "According to our observations, those creatures are targeting Zhang Fei because he is Hu Tianlang’s sole heir. If you capture him, we will hand him over to them, and they will not attack you."

"Are you sure about that?"
