Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

The ancestors and patriarchs of the Chang, Zhang, Lan, and Di clans represented the Central Region. Besides them, there was also the tribe leader of the Moon Fox Race, Hu Gao. Even the Blazing Phoenix Sect sect master, Feng Yao, had arrived at that location, and she represented her Feng Clan.

The patriarchs of the Chu, Ye, Gu, and Zhao Clans, representing the Western Region, were present. In addition, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect was also present among them.

The Eastern Region was represented by the Guo and Huan Clans' ancestor and patriarch, as well as the Luo, Qiao, and Dong Clans' matriarchs. There was also the Desolate Sect's sect master.

The others were the representatives of the Southern Region: the ancestor and patriarch of the Liu Clan, the patriarch of the Shen Clan, and the matriarch of the Meng Clan. Beside them, there was also a woman who was the sect master of the Hidden Sea Palace, and another woman was the sect master of the Yin-Yang Pavilion, Yan Zixiu.

As for the northern region, naturally there are no representatives from them, especially since there are only the Pang Clan and the Demon Sect in that region, and they actually want to destroy the seal.

A woman with flowing reddish-black hair suddenly spoke to them. "I just received information from two members of my clan about the demon cave in my area, and the source is the blood demon tree inside. However, the tree has been destroyed now, and the cave has returned to normal again."

The woman still looks charming despite her old age, and the red tattoo on her forehead makes her look unique. Her blue and gold dress accentuates her buxom figure, and her E-cup breasts remain full and do not sag.

Her words shocked everyone present, and the matriarch of the Meng Clan questioned her. "Is that true, Liu Rong? Who was the person who managed to get rid of the demon miasma?"

"Why would I lie to you, Meng Qi?" Liu Rong responded with a shake of her head. "Actually, I haven't met that person myself, but he is Hua'er's husband."

"Seriously?" Not only Meng Qi was surprised to hear the latter name, especially since they remembered for sure that Liu Hua had fallen under Pang Hong's control several years ago and that no one had ever managed to escape from his control before. "Is that true? How could your second daughter be free from Pang Hong's control? Was her husband the one who saved her from him?"

"Gezz! You guys! I couldn't possibly lie to all of you, right?" Liu Rong responded with a soft sigh as she saw their expressions. "Hua'er has truly been freed from Pang Hong's control, and you guys are right that it was her husband who freed her.

If you are curious about his identity, you can ask my son-in-law, especially since I myself haven't met him, and my two granddaughters have also become his wives now."

Hearing that, all of them immediately turned to Chu Hong, who had come alone to represent the Chu Clan, causing him to laugh wryly due to his discomfort at their gazes. "My sister-in-law has indeed returned to normal now, and her husband's name is Zhang Fei. Just like my mother-in-law said, Ying'er and Qing'er have also married him, so he is now part of the Chu and Liu clans. He-"

Just as Chu Hong was about to continue his words, Zhang Long, the Zhang Clan ancestor, interrupted him. "Zhang Fei? I never knew there was a man named Zhang Fei in my clan before."

"Yes, Father, there is no such name in our main clan or branch clan." Zhang Wuji, patriarch of the Zhang Clan, then asked Chu Hong. "Are you sure that his name is really Zhang Fei?"

"His name is indeed Zhang Fei, but he is not a member of your Zhang Clan, Brother Wuji." Chu Hong replied with a nod. "However, I still don't know about his origins or how he released Hua'er from under Pang Hong's control, especially since I hurriedly came here, so I haven't talked to him too much."

"Wuji! Old Long! Zhang Fei is now a member of your clan." The two men from the Zhang Clan immediately turned to Feng Yao with raised eyebrows. "Before I came here, I had already met and talked with Lingxue, and she had already given her virginity to him, so I wouldn't be wrong if I said that he was a member of your clan, right?"

"What?" Both of them screamed in shock after hearing that.

Feng Yao then told them about their meeting based on Zhang Lingxue's story, including the reason she decided to choose Zhang Fei as her husband. Afterwards, both men contacted their families to confirm their relationship, which was confirmed by Zi'er and Yang Yudie's explanations.

"Your daughter also decided to become his wife." Feng Yao said this as she turned to Ye Yuan, the patriarch of the Ye Clan. However, she didn't say anything about Zhang Fei's relationship with Zhao Ziqin, especially since Zhang Lingxue had already told her about his problems with the Zhao, Huan, and Qiao Clans, whose representatives were also present.

"I know." Ye Yuan replied with a nod. "When I was on my way here, my wife had already told me about their relationship, and she had also met Zhang Fei a few days ago. Honestly, I still regret the failure of the marriage plans between Lian'er and Zhan'er, but my daughter has already made up her mind, so we decided to approve their relationship."

"Haha." Gu Tong, the patriarch of the Gu Clan, laughed when he heard that. "Brother Ye, you don't need to regret it, especially since it was my son's fault, and they wouldn't have failed to get married if he hadn't had an affair with the female disciples of their sect."

Suddenly, the Heavenly Sword Sect's sect master joined their conversation. "Back then, I thought that Zhan'er and Lian'er were a perfect couple, but unfortunately, he was playing with several other female disciples behind her back. I even tried to advise him repeatedly, but he never listened to my advice."

When he heard that, Gu Tong sighed heavily. "Sect Master Ba Jiawen, Zhan'er became like that because I spoiled him too much and lacked control over him, which made him arrogant after he became the core disciple of your sect.

Unfortunately, things are too late now, so there's no point in us regretting it, and I sincerely hope Lian'er will be happy with Zhang Fei, especially since she is also like my own daughter."

"Yeah, you're right; I hope the same as you." Ba Jiawen said this as he nodded.

Although people from other clans and sects were shocked and curious after listening to their conversations about Zhang Fei, they did not care much about him or his relationships. However, they were also suspicious of him, especially since no one had ever been able to free people who had fallen under the control of the Pang Clan, and they thought that he was a spy sent by them.

Even so, none of them expressed their suspicions, especially since the clans with ties to him were very strong, particularly the Zhang Clan.

Then, Liu Rong told them again. Zhang Fei informed Hua'er that four more blood demon trees exist, dispersed throughout the remaining four regions. Therefore, it is crucial for you to dispatch your team to locate these trees at your earliest convenience.

Otherwise, it will be too late once the trees have reached maturity, and they will continue to emit demon miasma that will kill many people before turning them into mindless demons."

"How did Zhang Fei know about that?" This time, it was the strongest female cultivator among them, Chang Wuhen, the ancestor of the Chang Clan, who made the inquiry to Liu Rong.

"The demon soul remnant, intentionally implanted into the blood tree demon, informed him about it, confirming its truth. That's why I urge you guys to act promptly, ensuring that those trees don't cause any more casualties." After they heard that, they immediately contacted their people and ordered them to quickly find the location where the trees were hidden, and Liu Rong then told them again.

"However, you should tell them not to approach those trees and ask them to inform you all as soon as possible, especially if they don't have light elements, or they will die."

"So Zhang Fei is a light cultivator, huh?" Liu Rong nodded to Chang Wuhen. "In that case, we should immediately ask for his help to clean up those trees once they find their location, so we can thwart their evil plans. As for the blood demon tree in this region, I don't think we need to look for it because I fully believe it is in the hands of the Pang Clan."

All of them agreed with Chang Wuhen, but they suddenly felt a strong vibration from the demon portal, so they immediately poured their qi into the seal. However, a hard attack suddenly came from within the seal, making them suffer the backlash of the attack.

All of them spat out mouthfuls of blood from their mouths, and some of them even flew backwards. They quickly stabilized themselves, returned to their positions, and again poured their Qi into the seal.

"It seems the demons are trying to destroy this formation from the inside." Yan Zixiu spoke as he wiped the blood from his mouth. "Moreover, their attacks become stronger with each passing moment, and I worry that this seal will truly be broken one day."

Because of this, the Hidden Sea Palace sect sect master released a heavy sigh. "Five hundred years have passed since our ancestors set up this formation, and those demons are still trying to break this seal. If they really succeed in doing so, then our realm will suffer a bad fate once again, like in the past, so we must try our best to keep this seal intact.

Those demons destroyed my clan back then, leaving only a few of us, and I don't want to go through that again."

"Sigh! I agree with you, Hai Yuzhen." Guo Jing, the patriarch of the Guo Clan, expressed his agreement with a heavy sigh and an extremely serious expression. "For the sake of sealing those demons, our realm lost too many powerful cultivators.

Not to mention, the existence of the Pang Clan also makes our forces continue to decline with each passing time, and we still can't get rid of them to this day."

"Have any of you found any clues about the Pang Clan's hiding place?" Guo Peng, the ancestor of the Guo Clan, asked them.

They shook their heads at Guo Peng with ugly looks, especially since none of them managed to find them, and Chang Wentian, the patriarch of the Chang Clan, spoke to him. "Unfortunately, we still haven't been able to find their whereabouts, Senior Guo. The members of the Pang Clan hide really neatly like rats, and they always move secretly; even some of our clansmen fall under their control."

"All right, let's stop this conversation, and we should focus on maintaining this seal." They nodded in agreement to Chang Wuhen as they continued to pour their qi into the seal.

However, they didn't realize that some of them were grinning faintly and secretly sending information about their conversation to outsiders.
