Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Zhang Xiaolong [3] decided to give Gu Jinglin a few qi recovery pills, and she swallowed them immediately after he told her the effects, which made her yin qi recover quite quickly.

Gu Jinglin sat in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and asked a question. "What do you want from me?"

"Teach me your Gu technique." Gu Jinglin frowned for a moment at Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s request, but she couldn't refuse him with his slave mark in her soul, so she directly shared her clan technique with him.

[Ding.]

[You obtained the Gu Creation Technique.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] closed his eyes to read the technique, but he immediately frowned because the Gu creation technique could not be used by just anyone, and there was one condition that had to be met in order to learn it, which was a Gu's heart.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his eyes and asked Gu Jinglin. "Where did you obtain the Gu's heart?" Did you get it from the demons of the netherworld realm?"

"No." Gu Jinglin immediately told Zhang Xiaolong [3] about the demon who gave the Gu's heart to her clan. "That person came to my ancestors and gave the first two Gu's hearts to them, but they didn't know for sure about his origins, and he claimed to be a Gu master.

As for his purpose to teach them about the technique as well as the way to create the Gu's heart, my ancestors didn't explain it in detail, or rather they couldn't say anything about it, especially since he implanted a special Gu insect in them, and our Gu clan cultivates Gu insects since then."

"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned after hearing that, and he was certain that the person was a cultivator from the higher realms. However, he was a little puzzled about his purpose in coming to the Sky Jade Realm and teaching the Gu clan about Gu insects, especially since that realm was clearly a lower realm, so they should not be of any use to him.

'Do you think that person came here because of the ten-tailed fox, Mei?'

[That's possible, master. Gu insects are still beasts, and the ten-tailed fox was one of the strongest beasts in the past, so that person probably wanted to obtain his legacy to improve them. So far, we have only found his soul, and it has merged with yours.

There may still be his other legacies in this realm, but that's just my guess, especially since I haven't found anything else related to him, even though I've scanned it several times.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in agreement with Mei before asking Gu Jinglin again. "Do you still have a spare of the Gu's heart?"

"No." Gu Jinglin answered with a shake of her head. "To create one Gu's heart takes several years, and not all human bodies can accommodate it. If their bodies are not compatible with it, then they will die immediately, and it will also be destroyed. In fact, many of my clan members died because of the process, and only a few managed to accommodate it."

"That technique requires such a vicious process, huh?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] muttered to himself as he reconsidered learning the Gu technique, especially since he had so many people by his side who would be miserable if he died.

Moreover, Mei didn't know whether the system could help him contain the Gu's heart, and there wasn't much information about Gu insects in the system, so he decided to ignore the technique for now. "Show me all your Gu insects."

Gu Jinglin immediately took out several wooden boxes of different sizes, and there were various types of Gu insects inside, which piqued Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s curiosity. She then explained to him the abilities of each Gu insect, starting with tracking Gu, poison Gu, blood Gu, soul Gu, and so on.

"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] then took the last Gu insect, especially since it was different from the other ones, and its form was a black larva. "Is this the unkillable Gu insect?"

"Yes." Gu Jinglin nodded to him. "We created this Gu insect using the souls of many living creatures, including humans and beasts. We call it the immortal golden Gu, especially since it will revive continuously even if you kill it again and again. It took too many sacrifices to develop, so we can only make two. One in my hand, and the other in my brother's hand."

With his heavenly fox aura suppressing the larva, Zhang Xiaolong [3] faintly smiled as he observed it curled up and shaking in his palm. "Anyway, how can you store your Gu insects in your body?"

"I find it difficult to explain to you, but they don't actually live inside my body; instead, they reside in a separate space within my body. That person calls it a Gu cage, and you can learn it from that technique." Gu Jinglin's answer made Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a low sigh as he thought that Gu technique was too complicated to learn. "Aren't you going to take me out?

They'll be moving soon, so it'll be too late for you if they set off for the demon cave."

"Not now." Zhang Xiaolong [3] returned the immortal Gu to its box before standing up. "I only have one portal in the northern region, and your brother is still waiting for me there, so I will wait for him to leave first."

"How did you know that my brother was waiting for you there?" Gu Jinglin asked in confusion because they were in his private space.

"You are my slave now, but you are just a cannon fodder, so I won't tell you anything." Gu Jinglin looked annoyed by Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s answer, especially since he clearly intended to sacrifice her. "Moreover, the other cultivators from the other four regions are heading towards this region now, and some members of the natural races are following them.

That's why I'm not worried about being late, especially since your brother and the others have to deal with them first, so I just need to wait for the right time to bring you out."

Gu Jinglin was completely shocked after hearing that, especially about the members of the natural races. "So it's true, huh? You've known about our plans for a long time, and you deliberately stayed in this region just to keep an eye on us."

"My cultivation is much lower than you guys, so I have to use my brain to fight you all, right?

Because I have many powerful connections, I just need to share all the information with them so they can prepare to face them." Zhang Xiaolong then left Gu Jinglin and went to check on Xing Mei, especially since he could hear her moans when he dual-cultivated with Ba Shuxian and Xie Jingxian, and they did it for quite a while, so she was affected by their activities.

Gu Jinglin continued to look at Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s back as she repeatedly sighed and muttered. 'Where did he actually come from? He's still so young, but he's already ruined all the plans we've made for years, and our final plan will fail miserably because those people already know everything.'

As he expected, Zhang Xiaolong [3] found Xing Mei lying on the floor completely naked, but her appearance did not tempt him in the slightest, especially since her body was too ordinary despite her pretty face.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately crouched down beside Xing Mei, stuffed a Qi recovery pill into her mouth, and channeled his light Qi into his body to wake her up.

In a few minutes, Zhang Xiaolong [3] saw Xing Mei's eyelids tremble, and her eyes slowly opened. However, her mind was still muddled by her previous masturbation, so she looked at him in confusion.

Xing Mei's expression turned to fear after she regained her composure, and the memories of their previous actions came rushing back. In that instant, she realized that she was naked, causing her face to turn extremely red with embarrassment.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaolong [3] covered her with her dress, confusing Xing Mei, as she thought that he would force her to serve him. "To tell you the truth, I never had such an intention towards you, especially since we never really had any problems before, and your son's death was his own fault.

However, I hate traitors the most, and your actions of selling me to Tian Gongzhu and Hu Qiaomu infuriated me. That's why I will keep you locked up in this place forever, so you can forget about your freedom."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately left the prison room and locked Xing Mei up again, making her curl up and hug herself, and the sound of her sobs began to ring in his ears. 'Husband! Please! Come back quickly and save me from this place; I don't want to rot to death here.'

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then lay down in the middle of Ba Shuxiang and Xie Jingxian, hugging them, but his mind was preoccupied with other thoughts, particularly those related to the middle realms and the identity of the person who had taught the Gu Clan this Gu technique.

In the netherworld realm, Oz the 1st was standing side by side with Shang Guangming in front of the portal. "How are your preparations? Are those demons ready?"

"Yes." Oz the 1st replied with a nod. "All we need to do is wait for your uncle to arrive in this realm, and once he breaks this seal, we will invade the Sky Jade realm."

"That's good." Shang Guangming abruptly turned his head towards the distance after receiving the voice transmission from Shang Yaolin, making him shake his head at her attitude, especially since she wanted to go to the ghostveil forest to look for Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "My uncle will arrive in three days, and that day will determine your fate.

We have already given you one chance, but you failed to meet our expectations, and your plan failed miserably. This is your last chance, especially since my patriarch has lost his patience, and you should know the risk if you fail again, right?"

Oz the 1st did not say anything and only nodded to Shang Guangming, but his two fists were tightly clenched within the sleeves of his grand robe. 'Sigh. What should I do to get away from them? I'm tired of all this, and I want to go far away to enjoy my time with Morgana.'

Shang Guangming then left the place, but he raised his eyebrows when he saw a black crow land on Oz the 1st's shoulder. Even so, he immediately ignored it because its demon rank was too low to be a threat, and he hurried to go somewhere else.

Oz the 1st then turned to the black crow, but he immediately realized that it was not Morgana's black crow, and he also felt something unusual between them. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Master." Oz the 1st raised his eyebrows after the black crow, who was none other than Tharnon, addressed him as such. "You may not have memories of your past, but I still remember all our memories. You are my master, and I am your mount, Tharnon."

"Tharnon?" Oz the 1st mumbled as he looked at the black crow seriously, but he couldn't remember the name. "Did we really know each other before?"

"That's for sure!" Tharnon then told Oz the 1st about the Diyu Realm and all the events they had gone through in the past, especially their battle with the winged race from the Xian Realm, and he also told him about the actions of the white Amaris towards him.

"For thousands of years, I always thought that you were dead, but someone found you here, so I asked him to bring me here to prove the truth, and here we are now."

Even though he had heard all that, Oz the 1st still didn't seem to believe Tharnon, especially since he couldn't remember anything of it. "Who is that person? What does he have to do with us?"

Tharnon shook his head at Oz the 1st. "Master, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you his identity. In fact, he has nothing to do with us, and he came to our realm because of a personal matter. However, your successor approached him and requested his cooperation, to which he acquiesced. Since then, he has greatly assisted us in eliminating those traitors.

Currently, the situation there is more under control now, but our enemies are still stalking our realm, so we are thinking of a way to free you from those traitors."

Oz the 1st wanted to ask him again, but Tharnon suddenly disappeared from his shoulder, and he immediately realized that it was his wife's doing. 'The diyu realm? What kind of realm is that? Sigh! I hope I can get my old memories back soon.'

Oz the 1st then returned to his palace to check on the preparations of his demon subordinates, especially since failure was not an option for him or he would die at the hands of the cultivators.

Gu Changsheng, who was still waiting at Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s hiding place, looked very angry, especially since he had been waiting for him for three days, but he still hadn't appeared.

However, he suddenly received a voice transmission from Pang Xiuwen, who told him that all the main members of their clans had arrived, and they would soon move to the demon cave, so he asked him to return to the Pang Clan.

"Damn it! That bastard really is like a rat, and he hides himself so neatly." Gu Changsheng reluctantly left the place, but he directly destroyed Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s hiding place. "Tch! I'll focus on getting rid of Chang Wuhen and the others first, and I'll take care of that bastard after that."

After Gu Changsheng had been gone for some time, Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought Gu Jinglin back to the place, but he sent Xie Jingxian and Ba Shuxiang into the training space so they could train there together with the others.

"What are you going to do now?"

"What else?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] answered while grabbing Gu Jinglin's shoulder. They're going to the demon cave soon, so we should go there now to get ahead of them."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then took Gu Jinglin away using the nine cloud steps multiple times, and they arrived at the demon cave area about ten minutes later. He then met his two slaves who had been there since three days ago, causing the old woman to frown after seeing Pang Gui and Pang Hong, and she could see that their situation was worse than hers, especially since she had manipulated their minds.

"Get ready, because those people are coming soon, and you two must assist the righteous cultivators in fighting them."

"Yes, master." Pang Gui and Pang Hong immediately disappeared after Zhang Xiaolong [3] gave them another instruction.

"Hey! I want you to go to that area." Gu Jinglin immediately looked in the direction Zhang Xiaolong [3] pointed. "I want you to use your poison Gu against them, and I will also do something to support you."

Gu Jinglin just nodded and rushed towards that location, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his map to look for other cultivators. However, not all of them had arrived in that region, especially those from the southern region, particularly since the distance between the two regions was end to end. "I hope everything will go smoothly."
