Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1797: Toward The Fifth Ground Floor

Zhang Fei looked at Mo Cangyue and explained to her about Gongsun Zhilan, which caused her eyes to brighten. "From now on, she won’t bother your parents anymore, so they can live peacefully without her interference."

"Haha," Mo Cangyue laughed heartily. "Gongsun Zhilan finally has her day! She’s been eyeing my father for thousands of years, but her efforts were never successful because my father only loved my mother, and she ultimately fell into your arms."

Zhang Fei smiled amusedly seeing Mo Cangyue excited like a little girl. "Honestly, I did that to Gongsun Zhilan not because of your parents but for the sake of me and all my wives. Since she targeted me and wanted to capture me, I had to do something to her so she wouldn’t bring trouble to me in the future. By the way, there are no threats on this floor, so I will go down to the fifth ground floor to look for the Abyssal Demon Heart and the Demon Ritual Sigil."

"What about the Infernal Blood Core and the Demon Essence Drop?"

Zhang Fei pointed to Qi Qingxiu and the other three women, who were hunting the mindless demons in another area. "Each of them can defeat those demons easily, so I don’t need to worry about that."

"In that case, Yuan Xiajie and I will accompany you to the fifth ground floor." Mo Cangyue decided on the spot. "My brother and Yuan Xuan will help the four of them search for the Infernal Blood Core and the Demon Essence Drop, so we can collect everything more quickly, and all your demon wives can upgrade their demon ranks."

Zhang Fei looked at Mo Cangyue with a strange gaze. "Hey! Don’t tell me that you’ve fallen in love with me, little princess."

"Of course not!" Mo Cangyue refuted in a loud voice. "I already told you that I don’t like men, and I only like Yuan Xiajie, so I would never be interested in you. Although you said that your actions against Gonsun Zhiyan were for the sake of yourself and all your wives, it was also a blessing for my parents, so I will repay your kindness by helping you find those two demon materials."

Zhang Fei did not press further and walked towards the stairs down to the fifth ground floor, followed by Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie.

Mo Luoxie and Yuan Xuan looked at their backs while thinking about Mo Cangyue’s expression just now. Her expression clearly showed that her feelings had undergone subtle changes, and she subconsciously began to have feelings for Zhang Fei.

Mo Luoxie contacted his parents and informed them about Zhang Fei’s action against Gongsun Zhilan, which surprised Mo Qingwen and Gu Yanshu. "Let’s continue, Xuan."

"Alright." Since Qi Qingxiu and the three female demons were also hunting on that floor, Mo Luoxie and Yuan Xuan hunted in another area so they wouldn’t cross paths.

After they arrived at the fifth ground floor, Huo Ling emerged from Zhang Fei’s body. "Follow me, husband."

"To that place?"

"Yes!"

"Alright." Huo Ling led Zhang Fei to the place Feng Yao had indicated, which was the secret passage to the sixth ground floor.

Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie exchanged confused glances for a moment, and then they followed Zhang Fei and Huo Ling.

Soon, they arrived at the south-left corner of the floor, but Zhang Fei, Mo Cangyue, and Yuan Xiajie couldn’t see anything other than stone walls.

"Is there something special in this place, Sister Ling?" Yuan Xiajie asked.

"Do you two know there is a secret in this dungeon?"

"A secret?" Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie thought for a moment before shaking their heads. Let alone the two of them, even demon gods like Mo Qingwen and Hua Qianmei didn’t know anything about the secrets in the dungeon.

Huo Ling spread her senses throughout the entire area of ​​the floor, and she withdrew them after confirming that there were no other demons besides those mindless demons there. "In fact, this dungeon is a prison, and there is another floor below this floor."

"What?"

Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie cried out in shock.

"Is this dungeon really a prison, Senior Ling?"

"Who are the people imprisoned in this dungeon, Sister Ling?"

"They are the strongest ancient demons in the Ancient Realm, and they have lived since this realm first existed." Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie gasped in shock. "Their names are Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin."

"How come we’ve never heard of their names?" Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie asked in unison.

"Actually, no one from the current ancient races knows about them, and the people who knew their identities died long ago without leaving any records about them." Huo Ling explained to Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie about the war that occurred in the past, which was the war between the ancient demons and the ancients of the other races. "After imprisoning the two demons in this dungeon, they erased their names from history. In fact, those mindless demons were their past subordinates, and the Samsara Binding Formation in this dungeon caused them to lose their consciousness."

Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie took a deep breath; they didn’t expect that their domain held the lost history of the two ancient demons.

"Since the ancients of the other races couldn’t kill Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin, that means they were both more powerful than them, right?"

Huo Ling nodded. "Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin were simply too powerful for them, so they couldn’t kill them. They built this dungeon to imprison them and erase their existence from the Ancient Realm. Even though they had been imprisoned on the sixth ground floor for so long, they were still alive to this day. If they were to break free, no cultivator in this realm would be able to stop them."

Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie swallowed their saliva. "What are we going to do now?"

"You two should wait here, and I will bring my husband to see them."

Mo Cangyue and Yuan Xiajie were curious about Zhen Mo and Zhen Yin, but they were aware of their strength, and they were not sure they could survive under the pressure of the two ancient demons.

Huo Ling held Zhang Fei’s hand, pulled him forward, and disappeared into the wall.

Mo Cangyue looked at Yuan Xiajie. "Do they want to free the two ancient demons?"

"Sister Ling and Zhang Fei wouldn’t be so careless as to release them." Yuan Xiajie thought of several possibilities in his mind. "If my guess is correct, she just wants to take him to see them for now, so he can measure their strength. I’m sure that he will conquer them in the future, and they will become additional ammunition for him."

Mo Cangyue could more or less grasp Yuan Xiajie’s meaning. "They’ll probably be in there for a while, so we shouldn’t waste time waiting for them; instead, we should help Zhang Fei search for those two demon materials."

"Sister Cangyue."

"Yes?"

"Are you starting to have feelings for Zhang Fei?"

Mo Cangyue wrinkled her brows. "Why do you ask that, Xiajie? Don’t you know that I’ve never liked men?"

"You can lie to others, but you can’t lie to me." Mo Cangyue turned her head to the side, uncomfortable by Yuan Xiajie’s intense gaze. "See? My guess was right that you have started to have feelings for Zhang Fei. Is it because you feel that he is different from other men?"

Mo Cangyue sighed and nodded. "In my entire life, no man has dared to insult me, but Zhang Fei repeatedly insulted me. At first, I was frustrated because of it, but my feelings began to change after I witnessed all his actions, especially those toward Yan Tianling and Yan Washeng. Compared to people of my generation and my father’s generation, he was far more capable than them. Even so, I haven’t fallen in love with him, and I only admire him."

"I see." Yuan Xiajie put her arm around Mo Cangyue’s shoulder. "The more time you spend with him, the stronger your feelings will become, and you will eventually fall in love with him."

"Even though I admire him, I wouldn’t fall in love with him that easily. For me, relationships between women are much more thrilling." Mo Cangyue faced Yuan Xiajie and kissed her. "I know you love Hua Qianmei, but you are my first love, and you will always be in my heart."

Yuan Xiajie smiled awkwardly. "Actually, I love you too, Sister Cangyue. When Big Sister Qianmei first brought me to this domain, I didn’t have a single friend, and I always spent my time with her. You were my first friend in this domain, and you always made time for me. If I didn’t have feelings for you, I would never have spent time with you."

"Hehe," Mo Cangyue giggled. "I’m glad to hear that, Xiajie. By the way, don’t say anything to Zhang Fei about my feelings, okay? If I really fall in love with him in the future, I will meet him and confess my feelings to him."

Yuan Xiajie nodded. "My mouth is sealed, Sister Cangyue."

"Let’s hunt those mindless demons."

"Alright."

Unlike the five floors above, the path to the sixth ground floor was very long, and Zhang Fei could see many symbols on the walls on both sides.

"These symbols are written in an ancient language, and they are used to suppress the power of the two ancient demons." Zhang Fei nodded to Huo Ling, but he didn’t feel any pressure from those symbols. "Normally, all demons who enter that place will experience suppression, but you are different from other demons. You are essentially human, and you have multiple identities due to Xuanyuan Yue’s past actions, so these symbols are useless against you."

"Are we still far from the bottom?"
