Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1788: His Name Spreads Widely III

In her demon palace, Gongsun Zhilan stood on the balcony with her hands behind her back, and her eyes stared into the distance, precisely towards the location of the dungeon. "A lust demon named Zhang Fei, huh? Where did he come from? Why didn’t Yan Washeng kill him after he killed Yan Tianling? That really doesn’t make sense, and there must be a story behind it."

Gongsun Zhilan tried to contact Su Lan to ask what really happened, but Yan Washeng’s wife wouldn’t reveal anything, and she asked her to wait for the right time to discuss the matter.

Su Lan’s answer made Gongsun Zhilan’s suspicions grow even more; she believed that Yan Washeng was hiding something from them, and the source was Zhang Fei.

After mulling over it, Gongsun Zhilan contacted Gongsun Jiuxue and asked her niece to look for Zhang Fei in the dungeon as soon as possible. She could have gone straight to the dungeon to look for him, but Yan Washeng and Su Lan’s attitudes gave her a feeling of unease, so she chose to take careful steps.

Gongsun Zhilan hadn’t met Zhang Fei and seen his abilities, but she felt that her niece should be enough to deal with him. After all, Gongsun Jiuxue was stronger and more capable than Yan Tianling, so she felt that her niece would have no difficulty carrying out the task.

However, Gongsun Zhilan forbade her niece from killing Zhang Fei; instead, she asked Gongsun Jiuxue to capture him alive and take him to her palace. "A nine-tailed lust demon is truly an extremely rare creature; he should have many other advantages over the other lust demons. If I can control him, I will use him to carry out my plans against Gu Yanshu and her daughter. If I manage to get rid of them, Mo Qingwen will be mine alone."

In the ghost palace, Gui Ye stood in front of several people after receiving a report about Zhang Fei. He pondered the news thoughtfully, especially since Yan Washeng was unwilling to explain the details of the incident in the dungeon to him.

"What happened? Why did Old Yan accept his son’s death just like that? Does that male lust demon have backers far more powerful than him? Who are his backers?" Various questions kept popping up in Gui Ye’s mind and infuriated him. "Tch! He’s definitely planning something by keeping everything a secret! Heh! Even though I don’t have clear information about that male lust demon, he shouldn’t be my daughter’s opponent, let alone my opponent!"

Gui Ye immediately contacted Gui Ting and asked her to capture Zhang Fei alive. He wanted to kill him, but Yan Washeng’s secrecy sparked his curiosity; he wanted to meet Zhang Fei in person.

Gui Ye looked at his subordinates before him. "Go to the dungeon and help my daughter capture that lust demon! If he’s unwilling to go with you, you can break both of his legs and bring him here by force!"

"Yes, Demon God!"

In another palace, Chang Moyu sat together with Zuo Hentian, discussing Zhang Fei.

"Is that male lust demon really that strong, Old Zuo?" Chang Moyu asked in disbelief.

Zuo Hentian sighed. "If he weren’t that powerful, do you think he could have killed Yan Tianling in front of Old Yan? His cultivation is still at the Celestial Emperor Realm, but I have a feeling that his strength is far superior to his cultivation level, and I also sensed something unusual from him. That’s why I immediately left the dungeon, and as a result, Old Yan lost his eldest son."

"Even though Yan Tianling was the weakest of his generation, he should have been able to face that male lust demon. Unfortunately, the results said otherwise, and he died in his hands." Chang Moyu looked at Zuo Hentian. "Should we join forces? Besides, we can ask Old Gui and Old Gongsun to join us; I don’t believe he can fight all four of us at the same time."

Zuo Hentian pondered this. "If the four of us combine our strength, we should be able to defeat that male lust demon. If Hou Wuyan is willing to join us, our chances of winning will be even higher."

"Isn’t that too much? If we ask Old Hou to join us, that male lust demon will definitely die, and we won’t get the answer to the mystery." Zuo Hentian knew that Chang Moyu was right, but there was something stuck in his heart, and he had a feeling that the strength of the four of them was not enough to defeat Zhang Fei. "Sigh! I’ll contact Old Hou now."

"Alright." Zuo Hentian nodded.

Chang Moyu immediately contacted Hou Wuyan, but his expression turned furious after hearing her reply. "Old Hou is not interested in that male lust demon, and he just wants to bring down Old Mo, so he doesn’t want to get involved in this matter."

Zuo Hentian wasn’t surprised to hear the news because Hou Wuyan’s answer was within his expectations.

"Our two sons are in the dungeon, right? What if we ask them to test the power of that male lust demon first?"

Zuo Hentian glanced at Chang Moyu, knitting his brows. "If we do that, I’m afraid they will die like Yan Tianling."

"What are you afraid of?" Chang Moyu shook his head. "Gui Ting and Gongsun Jiuxue are with their two sons, and their combined strength is quite high. Moreover, the latter has many poisonous abilities like Old Gongsun, so I believe they will be fine. Besides, we don’t need to ask them to fight seriously, and they only need to fight that male lust demon to test the depth of his strength. As long as they don’t intend to kill him, he won’t kill them either."

Zou Hentian exhaled softly. "Alright! We will ask our two sons to check on Zhang Fei together with Gui Ting and Gongsun Jiuxue."

Zou Hentian and Chang Moyu immediately contacted their two sons, ordering them to meet Zhang Fei. However, they forbade the two of them to show any killing intent when they met him later.

On the fifth ground floor of the dungeon, two male demons and two female demons discussed the orders of their seniors. They were Chang Qifeng, Zuo Zhenlin, Gui Ting, and Gongsun Jiuxue.

They informed each other of their seniors’ orders, all of which shared the same goal: to capture Zhang Fei.

Chang Qifeng looked at the other three and asked. "What do you all think?"

Gongsun Jiuxue didn’t say anything, and she immediately walked towards the stairs leading to the fourth ground floor. She has an oval-shaped face with delicate skin; her eyes are almond-shaped with brown irises, combined with a slender nose and full lips with a subtle rosy hue.

Gongsun Jiuxue’s expression is confident and seductive. She has long, silky, dark brown hair styled in a half-up bun, cascading past her waist. A few strands of her hair frame her cheeks and neck. She has a curvaceous yet graceful figure, combined with voluptuous breasts with a naturally rounded shape. Her long arms have slender fingers; her long legs are smooth and well-proportioned.

Gongsun Jiuxue wears a black gown accented with intricate gold embroidery and ornamental patterns, combined with a deep V-shaped neckline emphasizing her upper body.

Gui Ting gritted her teeth in annoyance. "That bitch always acts annoying like that!"

"Haha," Zuo Zhenlin walked away. "You’ve known her for a long time, so you shouldn’t be surprised by her cold and aloof demeanor, right?"

"Let’s follow them." Chang Qifeng and Gui Ting followed behind Zuo Zhenlin. "Since our seniors asked us to be careful of Zhang Fei, you better not act carelessly, Ting. Otherwise, you will die like that stupid Yan Tianling."

"Humph!" Gui Ting snorted. "That Yan Tianling is indeed foolish! However, I am different from him, and my ghost will help me, so Zhang Fei will not be able to kill me that easily!"

Chang Qifeng looked at her. "Even though you are confident in the power of those ghosts, you must not ignore your father’s warning, or you will regret it."

"Yeah... Yeah..." Gui Ting quickened her pace to catch up with Gongsun Jiuxue. "Hey, Xuexue! Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you sure you can capture Zhang Fei?"

"I don’t dare underestimate Zhang Fei." Gongsun Jiuxue’s answer surprised Gui Ting. "My aunt told me that Uncle Yan should have fought him before, and he probably lost to him, so he’s embarrassed to tell the truth."

"Huh?" Gui Ting’s eyes widened. "Do you really believe that Zhang Fei has defeated Uncle Yan? He is not as strong as my father or your aunt, but he is a demon god like the two of them, and that kid’s cultivation is only at the Celestial Emperor Realm."

Gongsun Jiuxue shook her head. "I trust my aunt’s intuition more, so I won’t underestimate Zhang Fei. For now, we should go upstairs as soon as possible, and we’ll observe him from afar first before we make a move. Moreover, there are four female demon gods, Yuan Xiajie, Mo Cangyue, Mo Luoxie, and Yuan Xuan by his side; thus, we must not act rashly, or we will suffer the same fate as Yan Tianling."

"I think you’re too cautious, Jiuxue."

"It’s better to be careful than to die, don’t you think?"

"Alright! I give up! I never win when arguing with you!" Gongsun Jiuxue said nothing more and walked faster, annoying Gui Ting, who was walking beside her. "Hey! I’m curious about Mo Cangyue!"

"What are you curious about her for?"

"We all know that she is a lily, and she has never gone out with other men besides her father and Mo Luoxie, so I found it strange that she entered this dungeon with Zhang Fei. Do you think she fell in love with him?"

Gongsun Jiuxue sighed softly. "Mo Cangyue’s affair is none of my business."
