Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1694: Zenith Solar Sanctum

"Zhang Fei is an alchemy god, a supreme-rank blacksmith, a ten-rank array master, and a god-rank swordmaster."

Shang Zhanluo’s eyes widened. "Are you serious about that?"

"Otherwise, Empress Huo and the others wouldn’t be willing to become his wives, right?" Shang Zhanluo agreed with Shang Luohu. "Husband, I know you love Shang Fengxue very much, but she has the right to choose her own path in life. Zhang Fei does have many wives, but I think it doesn’t matter if my sister-in-law becomes his wife."

Shang Zhanluo frowned as he considered his wife’s words about Zhang Fei. An alchemy god? A supreme-rank blacksmith? A ten-rank array master? A god-rank swordmaster? Throughout his life, he had met many people—both friends and foes—but none of them had the ability to master all areas. If his Asura Demon Race had a good relationship with him, all members of his race would benefit tremendously, and they would become the strongest demon race.

"There’s one more thing I want to tell you, but I hope you won’t get carried away by this matter, husband."

"Why? What do you mean by that?"

Shang Luohu sighed. "With Empress Huo by his side, Zhang Fei could be said to be the strongest cultivator in this Paradise Realm, even though his cultivation was still at the Celestial Emperor Realm."

"Then?" Shang Zhanluo did not argue with his wife because Feng Yao was clearly the strongest cultivator in the Paradise Realm, and she was quite brutal, like her actions when she returned to their realm the first time.

"Besides, Zhang Fei is Tianshi Bailong’s son-in-law, and he also has a good relationship with Emperor Long and all races." Shang Zhanluo breathed deep air because there had never been a cultivator who could establish such a relationship in the past. "In fact, our daughter is free, and—"

"What?" Shang Zhanluo was completely shocked. "Are you serious? Has our daughter been freed from the Celestial Demon Race? Did Zhang Fei free her?"

Shang Luohu changed the image on the qi screen, showing her husband all the time she had spent with Shang Xueli, except for their time in the Yin-Yang Corridor Domain.

"Xueli... my daughter..." Shang Zhanluo involuntarily shed tears when he saw Shang Xueli in good health, and she laughed so cheerfully with her mother. "Where is our daughter now? Is she with Zhang Fei?"

"Yes," Shang Luohu nodded. "Zhang Fei freed our daughter from the Celestial Demon Race about six years ago, and she has lived with him since then."

"What—"

"Zhang Fei didn’t treat our daughter badly, and he gave her many valuable opportunities to improve herself. You may not believe this, but her cultivation continues to improve, and she has already reached the 3-Star Celestial Emperor Realm now."

"The 3-Star Celestial Emperor Realm," Shang Zhanluo murmured. "The last time I met our daughter, her cultivation was still at the Celestial King Realm."

"Not only has her cultivation but also our daughter has also improved in many ways, including her soul power, all thanks to the opportunities Zhang Fei gave her. I had a spar with our daughter when he brought her to our domain, and I couldn’t beat her in some aspects, especially speed."

"Her speed?"

"Believe it or not, our daughter’s speed is incredibly fast, and I can’t catch up to her." Shang Zhanluo was stunned by Shang Luohu’s statement. "I don’t know how our daughter trains because Zhang Fei forbade her from telling anyone else, including me."

"It seems we owe Zhang Fei a lot," Shang Zhanluo softly said. "Can you ask him to bring our daughter here? I haven’t met our daughter in a long time, so I want to meet her and hug her."

"I can contact Zhang Fei, but I’m not sure that he will bring our daughter here for now." Shang Zhanlo was dejected because he missed Shang Xueli so much. "Husband, our daughter fell in love with him."

"Huh? Are you for real?"

"Yes," Shang Luohu touched her husband’s forehead and shared his memories of when she spoke with Shang Xueli. "Look at them first."

Shang Zhanluo closed his eyes and watched all the memories. He could see her daughter’s joy when she talked about Zhang Fei, and he could hear her confessing her feelings for him to Shang Luohu. "Does that mean our daughter has become his wife?"

"Not yet," Shang Luohu shook her head slightly. "Honestly, I don’t know Zhang Fei’s feelings for our daughter yet, but our daughter clearly loves him. However, one thing is hindering their relationship, and that problem relates to you."

Shang Zhanluo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that? I’ve never even met Zhang Fei, so there shouldn’t be any problems between us, right?"

"You two may have never met, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be problems between you two, right?" Shang Zhanluo was even more confused by this. "Husband, many people know of your ambitions, including Ye Mingran, Qi Qingxiu, and Nalan Shizhe. Two of them are Zhang Fei’s wives, and the other is his mother-in-law, remember? Do you think they won’t tell him about your plans against their three demon races? He is different from you, and he would rather not dominate other races; instead, he wants all races to coexist in peace, like in his sect. Since you have the ambition to become the strongest demon god and subdue all demon races, it’s natural that he considers you an enemy."

Shang Zhanluo let out a heavy sigh. "You’re right, I do have that ambition, but I want to do it for the future of our demon race. Mo Shentian and the Celestial Demon Race are the strongest, and he has oppressed us for years, so I want to destroy him. However, our race will still never be at peace with the other demon gods harboring the same ambitions, such as Sha Mo, Ku Shenzu, Jiu Mozu, and Qian Yan. Therefore, I must become stronger than them, and I must subdue them to realize my dream."

"Unfortunately, you’re too late for that, husband."

"You mean?"

"Qi Qingxiu and Ye Mingran are Zhang Fei’s wives, and Nalan Shizhe is his mother-in-law. Besides, he has a close relationship with Wu Mian, and Jiu Moze and Jiu Mozu are his slaves."

"Huh?" Shang Zhanluo was shocked again. "Are you serious about that, wife?"

"One hundred percent serious," Shang Luohu nodded. "Sooner or later, Zhang Fei will also make a move against Ku Shenzu and Sha Mo, and I believe it won’t be difficult for him to subdue them with the help of Empress Huo and the others. If he really subdues them, only three demon races will remain."

"Our Asura Demon Race, the Celestial Demon Race, and the Thousand Eyes Demon Race."

Shang Luohu nodded again. "Zhang Fei doesn’t want to fight Mo Shentian yet because his abilities are different from yours or the others’. He also doesn’t want to fight Qian Yan yet for some reason, and you should already know that, since you yourself don’t dare face him."

"Qian Yan has always been underestimated, but I know he is actually the strongest among all demon gods. He is a demon beast, and his physical strength is extraordinary. Besides, he has the ability of his middle eye, and it is terrifying." Shang Luohu agreed with her husband. "If everything you say is true, it means that the five demon races are already on Zhang Fei’s side, and he will have the support of the other two if he attacks Ku Shenzu and Sha Mo. If he succeeds in subduing them, then I’m sure his next target will be me."

Shang Luohu sighed. "Husband, I can’t guess Zhang Fei’s plans for our demon race, but I believe that we should not be his enemies. Besides, our daughter has already fallen in love with him, so I don’t want us to be enemies with him for the sake of her happiness."

"Phew," Shang Zhanluo exhaled softly. "If our daughter really falls in love with Zhang Fei, I am willing to give in for her happiness."

"Really?"

"Really." Shang Zhanluo nodded seriously. "However, I hope he is willing to hand over Sha Mo to me, especially after what he did to me."

Shang Luohu was silent for a moment. "I’ll try to contact Zhang Fei and ask him to meet us, and the two of us will talk to him at that time."

"That’s good."

Shang Luohu glanced at Shang Zhui, who nodded at him and disappeared straight away. "What if we try to have another child, husband?"

"Oh?" Shang Zhanluo hugged her waist. "Are you sure you want to try again? We’ve been trying for so long, but you never got pregnant again after our daughter was born."

"Let’s try again."

"Alright."

*Swoosh*

After a month of travel, Long Xukong led Zhang Fei and the others out of the void, but they arrived in a devastated, empty domain.

"Is this really the location of the Zenith Solar Sanctum? Why don’t I see anything here?" Yue Ningxue asked while looking at the area around them.

"This domain was truly the location of the Zenith Solar Sanctum, but a past disaster had destroyed it. In fact, the Endless Night Dungeon was also in this domain, and both disappeared at the same time." Feng Yao led them north. "Even though both have disappeared, there are two portals in this domain that will connect us to both places."

Soon, they arrived at the northernmost part of the domain, and they landed there.

"How are we supposed to find the portal to enter that place, Big Sis Yao?" Luo Yunxiao asked.

"Wait." Feng Yao stretched her hand forward and shot her qi. Soon, a golden yellow portal appeared in front of them. "Let’s go in."
