Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1418: The Spirit Willow Tree’s Soul

’You’ve finally arrived in this domain, the heir of the ten-tailed fox.’

Zhang Fei stopped upon hearing that. ’Who are you?’

’I don’t have a name, and some people in the past knew me as the Spirit Willow Tree.’ Zhang Fei was shocked to hear that. ’I’ve been dead for a long time, and I’ve been waiting for my seed to return to this domain. I can sense that my seed is in your hands, and I can reshape my body with it.’

Zhang Fei took a deep breath. ’So, it’s true that the Spirit Willow Tree became extinct a long time ago, huh?’

’Hahahaha! I don’t know who told you that the Spirit Willow Tree is extinct, but I will never become extinct as long as my seed remains in this universe. I was the lifeblood of this domain, but I died a long time ago due to a great calamity that occurred in the past, and it turned into a ghost domain because there was no one to guide these souls to the afterlife. I used my soul to prevent these ghosts from invading other domains, but my strength continues to decline with each passing moment, and this domain is now controlled by them. If I don’t reshape my body soon, these ghosts will break free from their confinement and attack other domains.’

’I see.’ Zhang Fei then asked. ’Where is your soul now? Where should I take your last seed?’

’You cannot go to this area because your strength is not yet sufficient to defeat the Ghost Emperor,’ Zhang Fei pondered, as he had no clear information about his enemy this time. ’The Ghost Emperor is truly powerful, and you will die in vain if you face him with your current strength. Instead, you should go south, and you will find a dead lake there. You can bring my seed at the dead lake, and my soul will meet you there to fuse with it. However, I won’t be able to return quickly because my growth requires a large amount of qi and a long time, but you don’t need to worry about these ghosts invading other domains because I can still imprison them even if I undergo the process of reshaping my body.’

Zhang Fei did not answer the Spirit Willow Tree, and he asked the female Ai. ’Mei, how does the quality of qi in this domain compare to my beast space and training space?’

[Master, the quality of qi in your two spaces is already on par with this domain, but you cannot move the Spirit Willow Tree there. Otherwise, the Ghost Emperor and all these ghosts will be freed from their imprisonment, and they will attack other domains because the tree imprisons them here with the power of his soul.]

’That’s true.’ Zhang Fei then asked the Spirit Willow Tree again. ’Where is south? The ghost miasma here blocks my senses, so I’m blind to direction now.’

’I will guide you to the dead lake, and you just need to follow it.’

Zhang Fei saw a white light in the distance, and it was close to the location of his second clone. He didn’t go there, and Feltia [2] hurriedly followed the light. ’Hey, old tree! Did you see two people of the winged race in this domain?’

’They were fighting with those ghosts in another area, and their actions angered the Ghost Emperor.’ Zhang Fei wanted to go to Tian Qiye and Tian Liefeng’s location, but the Spirit Willow Tree hurriedly stopped him. ’You must not go there because the Ghost Emperor will make his move soon, and he will make those two people of the winged race suffer. The female member of the winged race is indeed powerful, but she will not be able to defeat him if they fight in this domain, as he is invincible here.’

Zhang Fei didn’t dare underestimate the warning from the Spirit Willow Tree because it had lived in the domain for a long time, and it had imprisoned the Ghost Emperor there. He suddenly remembered something and asked again. ’What exactly is their purpose in coming to this domain and looking for trouble with the Ghost Emperor?’

’They came for the cape.’ Zhang Fei realized something about the cape. ’The cape belonged to the first ancestor of the winged race, so they were thinking of taking it. Unfortunately, they will never be able to do that, especially since the Ghost Emperor will never be defeated as long as he remains in this domain.’

Zhang Fei fell into deep thought after hearing that. ’What if the first ancestor of the winged race comes here to take it? Will the Ghost Emperor be able to stop her?’

’Does that mean you know the reincarnation of the first ancestor of the winged race?’

’Yes.’ Zhang Fei nodded slightly. ’The reincarnation of their first ancestor is one of my women.’

’Hahaha!’ The Spirit Willow Tree laughed loudly. ’Fate’s arrangement was truly terrifying! You are the successor of the ten-tailed fox, and the reincarnation of the first ancestor of the winged race is your woman! You can bring her here, but you should wait for the two people of the winged races to leave this domain; otherwise, they will be aware of her presence, and they will give you no end of trouble.’

Zhang Fei thought for a long time before speaking. ’Please guide me to their place, Old Tree. I will not show myself to them, and I will observe them from afar.’

’Are you sure about that? The Ghost Emperor is already on the move, and he will arrive at their location soon.’

’I’m sure.’ Zhang Fei nodded with determination. ’I don’t have any information about that woman, so I want to get information about her to use against her in the future.’

The Spirit Willow Tree was silent for a long time before Zhang Fei saw a white light appear in front of him. ’You can follow that light to get to their place, and I will protect you from the Ghost Emperor so he won’t be able to attack you.’

’Thank you, Old Tree.’ Zhang Fei made a move, following right behind the white light.

"Shit." Tian Liefeng cursed as he fought off the ghosts that were attacking them, and their strength grew stronger for a grand elder like him the more they walked inside.

Even so, the ghosts didn’t pose much of a problem for Tian Qiye, especially with her cultivation having already reached the Celestial God Realm. The woman immediately destroyed the ghosts that were charging at her, but they were stubborn and continued to attack her. No matter how many ghosts she killed, they continued to come from all corners of the domain, and they tried hard to attack her. "These ghosts are really stubborn, and their numbers are endless."

"Leader, I think we should withdraw now." Tian Liefeng spoke to her. "If we force ourselves to go deeper, we will run out of qi to fight these ghosts, and we will never reach that place. Moreover, our actions will lure that Ghost Emperor to come to us, and we will face big trouble if we have to fight him in this domain."

Tian Qiye didn’t listen to Tian Lifeng because she wanted to get the Holy Radiance Cape, and that way she could prevent Tian Huangjin’s return. She didn’t want anyone standing above her, including their first ancestor. If their first ancestor returned, she would take over their race, which would make her lose control over their members.

Tian Liefeng could only sigh in his heart and continue fighting the ghosts in the domain, especially since Tian Qiye was so stubborn. ’If only I could reach her level, I wouldn’t have to obey her orders, and I wouldn’t have to bother fighting these damn ghosts.’

*Roar*

Tian Liefeng was shocked to hear the powerful roar, and he warned Tian Qiye. "Leader, that’s the roar of the Ghost Emperor, and he seems to have noticed our presence in this domain."

"The Ghost Emperor, huh?" Tian Qiye hurriedly used her peak form and summoned her golden sword, preparing to face the enemy that was coming at them. She scanned her surroundings with her golden eyes, searching for her enemy’s location. However, the ghost miasma was blocking her sight and senses, preventing her from detecting too far away.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei arrived at their location with the help of the Spirit Willow Tree, as their position was close to the domain entrance where the ghost miasma was particularly thick.

Zhang Fei activated his invisible mode and used the ghost miasma to conceal himself from Tian Qiye’s detection, mainly because that woman was still too strong for him at the moment, and he wanted to avoid any confrontation with her.

Zhang Fei wasn’t concerned about Tian Liefeng because he could use the Soul Link to borrow the strength of the demon beasts in their fight, but he didn’t want to underestimate him because he was a grand elder of the Winged Race. ’Scan her, Mei.’
