Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1673: Pure Radiance Body Technique

"Who’s there? How dare you infiltrate the Puyang Clan?" An old man’s roar rang out as soon as Zhang Fei and the others emerged from the void, but he was immediately stunned when he saw Ancient Leiyu Tianlu. "Eh? Tianlu? Didn’t your master send you to the Paradise Realm? Why are you back here? Who are these four people?"

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu pointed at Zhang Fei. "My master sent me to the Paradise Realm to protect him, but he went to this realm without my knowledge."

"Hmm?" The old man furrowed his brows, scrutinizing Zhang Fei’s face. "How—"

"I didn’t expect you to still be alive, Little Zong." The old man named Puyang Zong shuddered as he shifted his gaze towards Feng Yao. "The last time I saw you, you were still in your early twenties, and you always followed behind your big sister, Puyang Yeyu."

"Who... who are you, Young Miss?" Puyang Zong stuttered, unable to recognize Feng Yao’s face. However, his gaze immediately shifted to Huo Ling, who was standing beside her. "Senior Guang Zhiyi!?"

"Humph!" Huo Ling snorted and entered Feng Yao’s body.

Puyang Zong was puzzled by Huo Ling’s behavior, but his eyes widened before falling to his bottom. He looked at Feng Yao, who had transformed her face into Guang Zhiyi’s. "You... you... Senior Guang!"

Ancient Leiyu Tianlu smiled in amusement after seeing Puyang Zong’s expression, but he immediately flew away to another area to look for his master, Puyang Shangren.

"Hehehe," Feng Yao chuckled and reverted back to her original form. "Do you recognize me now, Little Zong?"

Puyang Zong took a deep breath and stood up. He dusted off his clothes, cupped his hands to Feng Yao, and paid respect to her. "Welcome back, Senior Guang. I always thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again in this lifetime, but you’re standing before me now."

"Alright, you don’t have to be so formal with me, Little Zong." Then, Feng Yao searched for someone’s whereabouts in other areas of the Puyang Clan. "Where is Little Yeyu? Why can’t I sense her presence in this clan?"

Puyang Zong let out a sad sigh. "Senior Guang, my elder sister’s condition isn’t good, so we asked her to rest in the secret ground."

"Oh?" Feng Yao raised an eyebrow. "What happened to Little Yeyu?"

Puyang Zong immediately explained the situation. "My sister was outside when those strange creatures suddenly appeared; they attacked her and caused her to suffer quite severe internal injuries. Although her injuries are not life-threatening, she will need a long time to recover."

"I see." Feng Yao looked at Zhang Fei, who nodded in understanding. "Lead us to the secret ground now."

"Alright." Puyang Zong immediately led them, but he was curious about the identities of Zhang Fei and Long Xukong. "Who are these two people, Senior Guang? Why did Old Shangren send Leiyu to the Paradise Realm specifically to protect this young man?"

"Didn’t Puyang Shangren explain the reason to you?" Puyang Zong shook his head at Feng Yao. "If that’s the case, I won’t explain the reason to you either. However, I can tell you that he is my husband, Zhang Fei."

Puyang Zong almost fell forward after Feng Yao said that, but he nimbly stabilized himself. He looked at Zhang Fei with wide eyes, wondering about her reasons for choosing him as her husband. "Are you kidding me, Senior Guang? Why—"

Puyang Zong did not continue his words as he was stunned by Feng Yao’s action of cupping Zhang Fei’s face and kissing his lips.

They only kissed briefly, and Feng Yao smiled playfully at Puyang Zong. "Do you believe me now? Zhang Fei is my husband, and you should be able to sense his Yang Qi within my body."

Puyang Zong immediately examined Feng Yao’s body to find out the truth. He took a deep breath after discovering Zhang Fei’s Yang Qi was so thick within her body.

Puyang Zong cupped his hands to them. "Congratulations on your wedding, Senior Guang and Junior Fei."

"No need to be so formal with us, Senior." Zhang Fei smiled casually. "For now, please lead us to Senior Yeyu’s place, and I might be able to do something to heal her."

Puyang Zong was skeptical upon hearing this because Zhang Fei’s cultivation was too low to treat Puyang Yeyu, but he didn’t dare say anything because he was Feng Yao’s husband. He nodded and led them away again. "Then, who is the other man?"

"Senior, my name is Long Xukong from the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain." Long Xukong respectfully introduced himself to Puyang Zong.

"Oh?" Puyang Zong was a little surprised. "Does that mean you are a dragon?"

"A void dragon, to be precise."

Puyang Zong nodded to Feng Yao. "No wonder the three of you were able to get through our barrier. It turns out you brought a void dragon with you, Senior Guang."

"We have no other choice, right?" Feng Yao looked outside the barrier. "I’ve long wanted to return to this realm, but I still have some unfinished business in the Paradise Realm. However, my husband needs some alchemy ingredients to concoct his new pills, and they only exist in this realm. Since those creatures appeared in this realm, I brought Long Xukong with us to avoid them."

"Do you know the origins of those creatures, Senior Guang? What are they seeking in this realm?"

Feng Yao shook her head slightly. "I don’t know about their origins or what they seek in this realm."

Along the way, Puyang Zong asked Feng Yao a few other things, but he didn’t inquire further about her relationship with Zhang Fei.

When they arrived at the portal to the secret ground, Puyang Shangren, Ancient Leiyu Tianlu, and several others were already waiting for them.

Puyang Shangren was the first to speak. "Tianlu just told me your identity, and I really didn’t expect you to be Senior Guang Zhiyi."

The rest of the people also spoke to Feng Yao as they paid their respects. However, they were shocked when they sensed the strong yang qi of a man within her body, and they glanced at Zhang Fei without saying anything.

"Haha," Feng Yao softly laughed. "Guang Zhiyi and Huo Yanling are my past, and I am now Feng Yao, so you don’t need to discuss my two past identities anymore."

"Why did you bring him here, Senior Feng?" Puyang Shangren asked, glancing at Zhang Fei.

"I brought him to this realm to look for some things, and he’s the only one who can take two of them. We’ve already obtained two of them, and we came here to look for some rare herbs." Feng Yao handed two papers to an old woman. "Could you collect them for me, Puyang Meihua? I don’t need a large amount, and I only need one fresh one complete with its root for each herb."

"Yes," Puyang Meihua took the two papers and read them. "Do you want to plant them somewhere else, Senior Feng? We have all these herbs, but most of them are still young and not ready to be used for alchemy."

Feng Yao nodded at her. "My husband will plant them in his private place."

"Hmm?" Puyang Meihua looked at Zhang Fei, and she could smell the scent of herbs from his body. "Can you tell me your alchemy rank, Young Man?"

Zhang Fei took out his alchemy badge and showed it to them, causing everyone to hold their breaths. They could see that he was still young—not even a hundred years old, but he had already become an alchemy god.

"Puyang Kongque will be happy to meet this young man." An old man said quietly.

Puyang Meihua agreed with him. "Senior Feng, I’ll go see Puyang Kongque now, and I’ll ask him to prepare all these herbs."

"Alright." After Puyang Meihua left, Feng Yao asked the others. "Who among your clan members possesses body techniques from the Light, Wind, Wood, and Metal elements?"

An old woman immediately answered Feng Yao. "Senior Feng, I possess a body technique from the light element."

"Please share your technique with my husband."

"Yes." The old woman touched Zhang Fei’s forehead, imparting the technique into his mind. "Done."

[You obtained the Pure Radiance Body Technique. Grade: Immortal.]

Zhang Fei was slightly surprised to see the grade of the technique. ’Immortal grade, huh? I’ll use one of my clones to learn it.’

"Are you satisfied with that technique, husband?"

"Satisfied!" Zhang Fei nodded at Feng Yao. "How could I not be satisfied with getting an immortal-grade technique for free?"

"Hehe," Feng Yao chuckled. "Do any of you have elemental seeds?"

"This." They seemed confused about answering Feng Yao because elemental seeds were too precious even for their Puyang Clan.

Feng Yao’s lips curled up. "If you have them, my husband is willing to pay a high price for them, so you don’t need to hesitate to sell them to him."

Puyang Shangren looked at the others before taking out a white elemental seed. "Senior Feng, our clan only has this light elemental seed."

"Too bad." Feng Yao released a regretful sigh. "My husband already possesses the light element, so this light elemental seed is useless to him. Anyway, we don’t have much time, so one of you must lead us to Puyang Yeyu now."

"I will lead the three of you to meet her." Puyang Shangren kept the light elemental seed and activated the portal to the secret ground. "Please follow me."

Soon, the four of them arrived at a place that resembled a temple, and it was very spacious—much larger than the Moonlit Passion Temple.

Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow when they arrived. He sensed something unusual inside.

"Can you feel it, husband?"
