Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Upon arriving at the western forest, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately contacted Sabina the Dryad's leader, asking her to meet him at the fairy forest. He then brought Ba Shuxiang there, using the green pendant Zefyr had given him.

The natural races looked surprised by Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s sudden arrival, but Oliver had already told them about him, so they immediately welcomed him happily. However, they looked hostile towards Ba Shuxiang, especially since he was now a demon, and they did not particularly like demons except for Lillea and her kin, whose appearances did not look like demons.

Even though the natural races did not say anything about Ba Shuxiang because it was Zhang Xiaolong [3] who brought her to their forest, they still showed hostility towards her.

Ba Shuxiang looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] with shock and admiration, especially since not all humans could form relationships with natural races, let alone that he also had the identity of an incubus. However, she remembered that she still had another identity, which was a fox-beast, leading her to believe that she could have a relationship with them because of her beast identity.

Oliver, who noticed Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Ba Shuxiang's presence, immediately appeared in front of them. "Why did you come here suddenly? Is there anything we can do to help you?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then explained to Oliver about the demons of the Netherworld Realm as well as the cultivators from the upper realms who were helping them from behind, causing him to frown in shock.

"Grandpa, they intend to break the seal on the portal from that realm in a few days, and I'm sure that the senior cultivators in the demon cave will not be able to deal with them, especially since those people are too strong, and their cultivation has reached the seven divine realms.

That's why I came here to discuss this matter with you, and I hope you are willing to mobilize the natural races to help them because the risk is too great if they succeed in invading this realm."

After all, Oliver was very old, and he was the leader of all races in the fairy forest. He naturally understood the situation, and he immediately asked the leaders of the natural races, who were still in seclusion, to come out.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then opened a portal to the training space, and he asked Liu Qingyu to come out so that she could warn Liu Rong and the others about those people's plans.

Liu Qingyu had heard everything from Zhang Fei herself, so she immediately sent a transmission voice to Liu Rong and Chu Hong, asking them to convey the matter to the other senior cultivators. She also asked them to be on guard against attacks from the heretic cultivators in the northern region, especially since they did not have definite information regarding their plans.

"Long time no see, Little Girl." Oliver said to Liu Qingyu after she finished contacting them.

Liu Qingyu smiled and nodded to Oliver. "Long time no see, Senior. The last time I came here was when I just got married to my husband, and almost three decades have passed since then."

Oliver then looked at Liu Qingyu with a playful smile on his face, causing her to smile awkwardly as she understood the meaning behind his smile, but he didn't say anything because he knew that it would make her feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Sabina walked into the fairy forest together with Persix the centaur, and the dryad leader immediately told Zhang Xiaolong [3] about Xing Mei's conversation with Tian Gongzhu and Hu Qiaomu, causing him to frown.

After hearing that, Liu Qingyu was shocked, not expecting Xing Mei to make a fatal mistake by selling them to Tian Gongzhu and Hu Qiaomu. "What are you going to do to her?"

"What else?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked back while shaking his head. "I know that Xing Mei did that out of grudge over Gu Zhan's death, and I warned her not to do such a thing, yet she did not heed my warnings. She chose to side with my two enemies, which meant she is also my enemy, and you knew that I would never spare my enemy.

Even so, I won't kill her; I will imprison her, along with Chu Youqian and the others in my prison."

"Your prison?" Liu Qingyu looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] in confusion, especially since he had not told them about the Yin-Yang Prison.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to Liu Qingyu. "I got it some time ago, and it has the same function as the Yin-Yang Absorber Shackles. That way, I can use them as my qi reserves, and I will absorb their qi if I need it to break through."

"Will it make them suffer?" Liu Qingyu asked seriously. "Even though Xing Mei has done that, we've been very close for a long time, so I don't want her to suffer that much."

Not only was Liu Qingyu curious about it, but even Oliver and the two leaders of the Dryad and Centaur Races looked intrigued about it, so Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately asked Mei to open the portal to the Yin-Yang space before bringing them in.

.

.

.

"Huh?" Liu Qingyu and the others were stunned when they arrived inside, especially since there was nothing there except for ten prison rooms and a large tube in the middle of the room, and they could see the flow of qi coming out of the five rooms towards the tube.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then guided them to Wang Xiaoyi's room, where they found her soundly asleep. "As you guys can see, this woman didn't suffer in the slightest because I only confined her subconscious using one of my demon abilities, and she was having a sweet dream in there, which helped me to harvest her yin qi for my benefit."

They immediately checked the other four rooms, where they saw Mo Xuanxing, Chu Youqian, Shen Shixi, and Shen Xiwu, who were also fast asleep.

"Won't they die if they keep sleeping like this?" Sabina, the Dryad leader, inquired as she watched the flow of qi in the glass pipe. "Moreover, these rooms keep absorbing their qi, so I thought they would die from the depletion of the qi in their bodies."

Liu Qingyu answered Sabina directly. "Fei'er won't let them die, and he must have used pills to restore their stamina and Qi, so the Qi in their bodies will never run low, even though these glass pipes continue to absorb it."

"I see." Sabina nodded in understanding.

Oliver then asked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Where did you find such a scary place? Unfortunately, there are only ten rooms here, and five of them are already in use, meaning you can only imprison five more people."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you about the origin of this place." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked at the other five rooms. "Even though the number of these rooms is limited, I'm satisfied with this, and I can use the remaining ones to lock up my other enemies, including Xing Mei.

Moreover, I can get rid of them if they are no longer useful to me, and I will replace them with stronger cultivators in the future."

"Hahaha!" Persix, the Centaur leader, suddenly laughed as he patted Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s shoulder. "I admire your character, especially since you care for your loved ones but are merciless to your enemies. In this cruel world, we have to live with that kind of mindset, or we will suffer if we are too kind to our enemies."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in agreement with Persix before leading them out of the Yin-Yang Prison, but the other leaders of the other natural races were already waiting for them outside, so Oliver led them all to his house to discuss the matter of the demons and heretics of both realms.

However, they seemed in a dilemma after Oliver told them that the demons from the Netherworld Realm were working together with people from the upper realms, especially since their strength was clearly no match for theirs. "Why are you all acting so cowardly now? They are strong, but there aren't many of them, and they won't necessarily come to this realm themselves.

Otherwise, they won't use and sacrifice those demons to invade our realm, so I think we still have a chance to fight them. Moreover, this realm is our home, and our ancestors have lived here since it existed, so we must fight to defend it from their attacks."

After hearing that and considering everything carefully, they finally agreed to help humans defend their home realm, and Oliver immediately asked them all to go to the Northern Region as soon as possible. After all, that region, particularly the demon cave area, would be the battle arena for determining their future.

Oliver then led them all to leave the fairy forest, and he decided to go to the central region, especially since Zuhe, the Undine leader, was alone there.

Unlike them, Sabina and Persix decided to stay in the western region in case any of their enemies escaped and attacked their region, so they could immediately move to protect the people who lived there.

They immediately scattered as soon as they arrived outside the western forest, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] opened the map to look for Hu Qiaomu, and he found her with the two young female foxes in an inn.

"What are you planning to do with the three female moon foxes?" Liu Qingyu asked with a raised eyebrow after seeing the grin on Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s face.

"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed at that. "Hu Qiaomu obviously wanted to kill me after she found out my beast identity, so I had to do something about her, right? So I wanted to lure her here, and I would use her to do something against her race. As for those two young moon foxes, they're just their pawns, so I won't do anything to them."

"Do you intend to take Hu Qiaomu as your slave?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head at Liu Qingyu. "Then what do you want to do to him?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled and pulled Ba Shuxiang closer, but his next action shocked Liu Qingyu and the two people from the natural races, especially since he pulled her soul out of her body.

However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately returned Ba Shuxiang's soul to her body, followed by an explanation. "I got this technique from Oz the 2nd, and I will use it on Hu Qiaomu, but I need your help to weaken her first. Even if I don't enslave her, she won't be able to do anything to me, and I can restrict her movements easily, so I think this is the best punishment for her."

"Sigh." Liu Qingyu sighed heavily while massaging her forehead. "Do you realize that your abilities are getting more and more absurd? At first, you were just a lust demon, but you now have many other demon abilities, and I thought you were the only demon who could do that."

The two people from the natural races nodded in agreement with Liu Qingyu, but Sabina then spoke to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "In that case, you can lure Hu Qiaomu now, and the two of us will help you capture her, so you can do that to her."

"Since that female moon fox's cultivation is only at 2-Star Sovereign Realm, she won't be able to escape from me and Sabina." Persix said as he entered the forest to hide his presence, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked Liu Qingyu and Ba Shuxiang to follow him.

Sabina casually stood beside Zhang Xiaolong [3], who immediately released his heavenly fox aura after the three of them entered the forest, directing it towards the Heavenly Sword City. "She should be able to sense my aura, so she should be here soon."

"Yes." Sabina then made some gestures with her right hand, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] could feel a lot of movement from underground, which he believed were the roots of the trees in the western forest.

.

.

"Hmm?" Hu Qiaomu, who was talking to Hu Hong and Hu Qianli, immediately frowned as soon as she sensed Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s aura. She immediately stood up from her seat before speaking to them. "That guy is back, and I will go see him now. However, you two must stay here, and you must contact the other elders if I don't come back here for a long time."

"Yes, Elder Qiaomu."

After that, Hu Qiaomu hurriedly left the inn for the western forest, and she also informed her leader about Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s return. Hu Gao immediately ordered her to capture him, and he also ordered her to kill him on the spot, including killing the people closest to him, if she had difficulty capturing him.

With her speed, Hu Qiaomu quickly arrived at the western forest and landed in front of them, but she was really surprised to see the presence of Sabina on Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s side. 'Tch! The natural races are indebted to the ten-tailed fox, and the heavenly foxes are his direct descendants, so it is natural that they side with him.'Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smirked faintly before speaking to Hu Qiaomu. "At first, we didn't have any problems with each other, but you suddenly became hostile towards me, and you didn't even try to hide your intention to kill me.

Anyway, you don't need to deny it because I am a heavenly fox, and I have my own arrogance, but I would never think of suppressing or killing other foxes like you and your race members."

Hu Qiaomu immediately glanced at Sabina, but the Dryad leader only smiled in response. She then checked the surrounding forest area for other members of the natural races, and she was sure that their other members were hiding there.

However, Hu Qiaomu could not find anyone there, especially since Persix used a special artifact to conceal his and the two women's presence. 'Damn it! This dryad's cultivation is on par with mine, but this area is her territory, and I will lose if we fight here.

I must go now and report this to Hu Gao, especially since this brat has a good relationship with the natural races, which complicates things.'

Just as she was thinking about it, an arrow shot towards Hu Qiaomu after Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked Persix to attack her, but she deftly dodged it immediately, causing it to stab the ground at her original spot.

Sabina also made a move immediately, and many tree roots came out of the ground to attack Hu Qiaomu. However, their movements were too slow compared to hers, so she was able to avoid them without much difficulty.

Hu Qiaomu then took out two weapons similar to pinwheels with several small blades on the sides, and she threw them at the roots, cutting them into several pieces. 'This bitch! She is completely obedient to this brat! Moreover, one of their members is still in the forest, so I have to be careful.'
