Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 317: Learning New Techniques

The atmosphere in the Ba Clan, especially in Ba Yongshan's room, became gloomy after Li Xintong brought him back to their clan, and she explained the incident in which he became petrified during his spar with Chi Yufeng.

However, Li Xingtong did not explain to them about the incident that happened to Ba Shuxiang, nor did she tell them about her relationship with the Pang Clan, especially since she was fully aware that they would try to free her from Zhang Fei [1]'s hands if they knew that he had taken her captive, which would only be detrimental to the Ba clan.

Li Xintong then spoke to Ba Yongshan's parents. "Ba Zhongtan and Ye Mingchen, if you have healer acquaintances with better healing abilities, you could ask them to try to reverse his condition. Our healers have tried to restore your son's condition, but they were unable to do so, so I purposely sent him back here, and you two can accompany him before all his internal organs petrify."

Ba Zhongtan nodded to Li Xintong. "I have called some healers from our sect, and they will be here soon, but I doubt that they will be able to reverse my son's condition."

"How about we take Yongshan to the southern region right now, husband?" Ba Zhongtan immediately turned to Ye Mingchen. "Compared to our healers, Zhiyu Fengzhi's medical ability is superior, and he may be able to help us reverse our son's condition."

Li Xingtong's eyebrows lifted momentarily upon hearing the latter name. As an elder in the desolate sect, she naturally knows Zhiyu Fengzhi. However, she refrained from commenting, keeping her thoughts to herself. 'It would be better if you two did not bring Ba Yongshan to the Yin-Yang Pavilion, especially since that place will be chaotic soon, and you guys will also meet that monster there.'

"You're right." Ba Zhongtan immediately agreed with his wife's idea. In that case, we'll wait for our healers to arrive and bring some to the Yin-Yang Pavilion to care for him during our sect trip."

Ye Mingchen felt relieved after hearing her husband agree with her idea, and she immediately left her son's room to pack up, especially since she felt that their departure this time would be quite long.

Since they had already made this decision, Li Xingtong immediately left the Ba Clan and wandered around the heavenly sword city. She was a little surprised to find Zhang Fei's shop and restaurant nearby.

Li Xingtong was more interested in visiting Zhang Fei's shop, the Diqiu Shop, also known as the Earth Shop, especially after noticing a large number of people carrying items she had never seen before, particularly the mattresses, which piqued her interest.

When she entered the shop, Li Xintong was once again surprised after she saw the four women who were running the shop, especially since she could sense Zhang Fei's yang qi within their bodies. 'These four women are also his wives, huh? Despite being in the foundation and core realms, they seem stronger than other cultivators at their level, which must be due to his yang qi.'

"What can I do for you, elder?" Cheng Yu respectfully asked Li Xingtong because she could feel that her cultivation was far superior to hers.

"I just came to this city after a few years, and this is the first time I've seen your shop. Since I don't know anything about the items you guys are selling, I want to see them all first, and I hope you can explain each of their benefits to me." Cheng Yu nodded and took her to look at the items available in the shop, and Li Xingtong listened to her explanation for a while before making a decision.

"I want to buy some of these mattresses, and I also want to buy every type of item in this store."

"All right, I will prepare everything now, and you can bring them using your storage ring, Elder." Cheng Yu then asked Tang Rou to help him prepare Li Xintong's order.

As she waited for her order, Li Xintong kept watching Zhong Yan and Ru Xue discussing something, and she intended to ask them about Zhang Fei, but she eventually gave up on her intention because she was too creepy and didn't like others digging into her personal affairs.

After Cheng Yu and Tang Rou prepared all her orders, Li Xintong immediately paid them and went to Zhang Fei's restaurant. However, the five women present once again astonished her, especially when she sensed the presence of his yang qi in two of them.

Although Li Xintong was curious about Zhang Chen and the others, she didn't ask them anything and preferred to enjoy the dishes from Earth that they were selling.

After she got the dishes, Li Xintong wasted no time in tasting any of them. Her eyes immediately lit up after she tasted the richness of the spices contained in them, and she voraciously devoured those dishes. 'How can they cook such delicious dishes? These dishes make all of the dishes I've ever eaten taste bad, and I really want to enjoy them over and over again.

Unfortunately, they seem to only be open in this city, and this city is too far from the eastern region. Hmm? Perhaps I can talk to Zhang Fei and ask him to open a branch restaurant in my region, so I can enjoy these dishes again without having to waste a lot of time coming to this region.'

After she finished enjoying the dishes and paid for everything, Li Xintong immediately left the restaurant and went to visit the Heavenly Sword Sect, and she planned to go to the Chu Clan again later.

"Husband, I-"

"All right, you don't need to say anything, as I know that you don't want to do that, and you did it because of the slave mark in your soul." Chi Zhongguo said this to his wife as he watched Zhang Fei [1], who was learning the Shadow Abyss Scripture and the Netherworld Demon Scripture by utilizing the comprehension feature of the training ground.

"I don't know what he's going to do to me, but I'm aware that he's already prepared a plan for me, and it's probably not a good one."

Hearing that, Ba Shuxiang immediately hugged her husband. "Husband, I really don't want to lose you."

"I know, I don't want to lose you either, but there's nothing we can do now." Chi Zhongguo responded with a heavy sigh, hugging Ba Shuxiang back. "Even though I don't like it, I hope you don't fight against him. Moreover, his slave mark is in your soul, and you yourself will suffer if you do so; therefore, it would be better if you followed his orders."

Unfortunately, Chi Zhongguo is still unaware of Zhang Fei [1]'s plan for them, and he will undoubtedly be terrified once he discovers it.

After they waited for several hours, Zhang Fei [1] finally opened his eyes and tried every sub-technique of the Shadow Abyss Scripture, starting with shadow steps, shadow veil, shadow clones, and shadow blade.

Although they were only effective at night, Zhang Fei [1] was still satisfied with them. He then summoned Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang to him, unsealed their cultivations, and immediately used the shadow binding on them, rendering them both immobile.

Zhang Fei [1] was a little disappointed that the shadow binding effect did not last long due to the difference in their cultivation, so he used shadow devouring to weaken them, causing their faces to turn slightly pale. 'The effect is more similar to my life-force absorption ability, but it's much weaker and slower, so it won't be very useful.'

Zhang Fei [1] then used Shadow Weave to create a protective barrier, and he ordered Chi Zhongguo to attack him with all his strength. Unfortunately, he was also disappointed because his shadow barrier was immediately destroyed by his attack, and he was even pushed back a few steps. 'Hmm?

The shadow barrier's effect seems to depend on my cultivation, but it is still somewhat useful to protect myself from my enemies' attacks.'

Zhang Fei [1] immediately tried to use the shadow puppeter on them, which allowed him to control Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang to do things according to his wishes.

Zhang Fei's [1] sudden transformation into an incubus startled Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang, causing them to instinctively take a few steps back with trembling bodies and a strange smile. "Are you surprised to see me? As you both can see, I am both human and demon, and I still have other identities. However, no one knows my three identities, except for my families, partners, and slaves.

Furthermore, I intentionally revealed my demon identity to you two because you guys wouldn't be able to tell anyone else.

At first, Zhang Fei [1] wanted to use demon absorption on them, but he immediately canceled his intention. Instead, he released his darkness element and used the demon corruption on them, which made him satisfied after seeing the two become even more fearful, and his own strength increased in return by exploiting their fear. 'Not bad!

However, with my current strength, I'm not sure that this will be useful against a strong cultivator like Shen Haoran, so I need to increase my strength even further as soon as possible.'

Zhang Fei [1] then activated the demon body to enhance his strength, speed, and vitality. After that, he tried to attack Chi Zhongguo with a tiny bit of his strength, but he had already felt enough pain from his attack, and Ba Shuxiang immediately supported her husband.

Zhang Fei [1] then tested his speed, which the demon body's effects had boosted, using his two primary movement techniques.

Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang looked shocked after Zhang Fei [1] disappeared from their sight, so they tried to follow his movements with their eyes and senses. However, his current speed was too fast for both of them, especially after he adapted to eight times gravity. 'What a monster!

His cultivation was still in the soul realm, but his movements were even faster than cultivators in the heaven realm.'

[Ding]

[The clone illusion steps have advanced to level three.]

[Ding]

[The nine cloud steps have advanced to level three.]

'Oh?' Zhang Fei [1] immediately stopped after the two notifications appeared. 'Haha! At first, I was confused because they hadn't upgraded after I finished my seclusion, but it turned out that they both needed a trigger to upgrade.

Now that the nine cloud steps have reached level three, I can travel 200 km quickly, allowing me to explore all regions with greater freedom and reducing my reliance on Qi recovery pills.'

Zhang Fei [1] then turned to Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang again, and the strange smile on his face made them shiver in fear. Before they could respond, he had already unleashed the demon king's roar, escalating their fear and making their heads dizzy to the point of vomiting.

Zhang Fei [1] then tested the demon claws on Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang, and two black claws instantly appeared from behind him before grabbing their bodies and lifting them high into the air.

Zhang Fei [1] nodded repeatedly as he was satisfied with the technique, and he immediately released both of them. 'If I combine these demon claws and my strength, I think I can tear through other people's defenses.'

Suddenly, Zhang Fei [1] opened both of his palms, and black flames immediately appeared above them after he used the hellflame incantation, which was much hotter than when he used his normal flames. 'Do you think these black flames can kill cultivators like Shen Haoran and the others, Mei?'

[It might be possible, master. However, you likely won't be able to use these black flames in your human or fox form, and you'll have to use your demon form to use them. Anyway, wouldn't it be better if you used the demon absorbing technique on them, master? That way, you can absorb their comprehensions and cultivation attainments.'

'Yeah, you're right about that. I'll tell Shen Xueyi about it, so I won't order her loyalists to kill them right away.' Zhang Fei [1] then said to Ye Lian. "Lian'er, I can't train with you right now, but don't worry, I'll monitor your situation and accompany you once my business with Shen Haoran concludes.

For now, I will take these two people to another place, and they will definitely enjoy their lives there."

"All right, you can focus on your own business first, and I will focus on overcoming this gravity pressure."

After that, Zhang Fei [1] makes the decision to once again seal Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang's cultivation, leaving them perplexed about his intentions. However, their eyes widened as a gate appeared before them, and he immediately led the two of them into it.

.

.

.

In an instant, they had arrived at the Diyu Realm, and Zhang Fei [1] led the two of them directly to the Dryad Forest, which made Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang even more shocked when they saw the Dryards.

Zhang Fei [1] then took them to Lillea's private quarters, as he explained to them. "As you can see, we are in the lower demon realm now, but this realm is different from the realm of the demons who invaded the Sky Jade Realm in the past.

Anyway, all the humans who live here will slowly turn into demons, so you can forget about your life there, especially since you won't ever be able to go back there again."
