Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son - Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118: The Forbidden Land

Two days passed quickly, and the portal to the Forbidden Land almost opened. Zhang Fei [5] took Luo Yunxiao, Feng Xueying, Feng Jinqiu, Luo Zhenyu, Luo Jiaxuan, Cheng Mengyao, and Bing Xingying out of the training room.

For the past two days, Zhang Fei [5] hadn’t left his room even once, fully focused on his dual-soul cultivation. Qing Qiu’er joined them, as she still harbored a desire to go to the Lotus Limbo World, despite the phoenix princess’s warning to forget about it.

After Qing Qiu’er returned to her sect members, Luo Feng and Beiming Youhuang led Zhang Fei [5] and the others to the location of the portal to the Forbidden Land, where hundreds of groups of cultivators had gathered. However, there weren’t as many of them as there were during the entrance test, mainly because many of them failed to complete their test.

Zhang Fei [5] could feel the gazes of the people from the Jiao Clan on him, but he pretended not to notice and focused more on reading the statuses of the cultivators present.

Zhang Fei [5] saw many familiar faces there, such as Gong Wei and Lu Shaqing, whom he had met in the Moon Illusion Domain when he had broken through to the Five Celestial Realms. Both of them were leading groups of people from the Zenith Sect and the Spring Breeze Sect.

Zhang Fei [5] also saw several people from the Empyrean Main Domain, such as Fan Ning, Ru Yan, Zhi Yuan, Chen Qi, Qin Wuzhang, and Jiang Yuhei, who were the ancestors of the Fan, Ru, Zhi, Chen, Qin, and Jiang main clans. They decided to lead their respective members, especially after they heard that Luo Fenghan brought him to that place.

The sect masters of the Azure Immortal Peak, the Hidden Moon Sect, the Nine Sword Hall, the Eternal Heaven Sect, and the Star Cloud Pavilion were also present there, leading their respective sect members. To Zhang Fei [5]’s surprise, his acquaintances who had joined those sects were also present, such as Lin Jingxia, Hun Di, Zhe Wuming, and several other seniors.

Zhang Fei [5] also saw two people he hadn’t seen in a long time: Tian Shuixiang and his wife, Ye Zhiye. Both of them decided to join his group, especially since they were the only two of them.

“Long time no see.” Tian Shuixiang and Ye Zhiye greeted them.

“Long time no see.” Zhang Fei [5] asked them directly. “Why did you two come here? Don’t the people here recognize you two?”

“The Forbidden Land is a sacred place in this realm, and we haven’t been there in a long time, so we wanted to try entering again. Moreover, our disguises are neat, and no one will recognize our true identities.” Tian Shuixiang and Ye Zhiye were surprised after they checked his cultivation. “When did you bring them all to this realm? When did you break through to the Five Celestial Realms?”

“We arrived more than five years ago, but we focused on our seclusion, and I broke through to this stage a few days ago.” Zhang Fei [5] then asked them again. “What have you two been doing for the past years? Have you returned to your domains?”

“Hehe.” Ye Zhiye chuckled. “We didn’t return to our domains, and we entered into seclusion in another domain since we came here. Our old friend informed us that the Forbidden Land would open, so we stopped our seclusion and came here, but we didn’t expect that you all were already in this realm. Where do you guys stay now?”

Zhang Fei [5] pointed at Luo Fenghan. “He is my father-in-law and the Sect Master of the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary, so we live in the Empyrean Domain.”

“You haven’t been to this realm long, but you’ve already found a new wife here.” Ye Zhiye looked at Luo Yunxiao. “She’s the one, right?”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. “Yunxiao is my childhood friend, and I hastily ascended to this realm because of her. By the way, my master and the others chose to join the sects in the Empyrean Main Domain.”

“I met them when we got here yesterday.” Tian Shuixiang then looked at Feng Jiu and Feng Tian. “You two cultivate so fast.”

“Haha.” Feng Jiu softly laughed and embraced her daughter. “Yao’er took us to a special place for fire cultivators, and we cultivated there for many years; thus, our cultivation progressed rapidly, but we are still weaker than the two of you, right?”

Feng Tian then asked him. “What cultivation level are you at now?”

“They have reached the 1-Sun Celestial Venerable Realm now.” Feng Yao’s answer shocked her parents. “They have been suppressing their cultivation for too long in disguise in the Three Mortal Realms, so you two shouldn’t be surprised if they have reached that stage by now.”

Both Feng Jiu and Feng Tian nodded in understanding. “Son, aren’t you going to invite Hun Di and the others to join us?”

“Eh?” Ye Zhiye was surprised and asked Feng Jiu. “Since when is he your son-in-law?”

“Since I handed over the Phoenix Race to him.” Feng Jiu then sighed softly and put on a pitiful look. “Unfortunately, my daughter is still not willing to accept him as her husband, even though I have long wanted a grandchild.”

Feng Yao chose not to comment on that and glared at Zhang Fei [5], who smiled playfully at her. He then answered Feng Jiu, “I originally wanted to invite them to join us, but they’ve become disciples of those sects, so I canceled my intention. Moreover, they are experienced cultivators, so I’m sure they’ll be fine. Additionally, I can track them easily, and I’ll rescue them if they encounter any serious problems.”

“Have you told them about the information you received two days ago?” Feng Yao questioned him.

“The situation is quite dire over there, so I informed them via telepathy earlier.” Zhang Fei [5] then told Tian Shuixiang and Ye Zhiye about the movements of several demon races in the Forbidden Land, which shocked them. “I still don’t have any information about the identities of the demon races roaming around in there, so I can’t confirm whether the two demon races are also in there. Additionally, my information tells me that Taotie and the three evil mythical beasts have started moving again, and they have also sent their subordinates there, so we must be fully alert.”

“Then—”

*Dong… Dong… Dong*

The sound of three gongs suddenly echoed throughout the area, and the sect master of the Divine Samsara Sect, Liang Huizhong, landed at the front of the line, followed by the elders of the sect, including Yu Shan. Behind them, dozens of disciples from the sect lined up neatly, waiting for his order.

Liang Huizhong ordered the elders to gather with groups of cultivators according to their respective assignments. Naturally, Yu Shan immediately joined Zhang Fei [5]’s group, but the presence of Tian Shuixiang and Ye Zhiye among them surprised him a little. “Who are they?”

“They are our old friends, and they have been inside before; therefore, I invited them to join us.” Zhang Fei [5] then introduced Tian Shuixiang and Ye Zhiye to Yu Shan, and he also informed him about the information he had obtained regarding the situation inside. “Elder Yu, I know you are part of this sect, but you must not tell them this information, especially since they will suspect us.”

Yu Shan nodded in understanding before explaining many things to them, especially about the locations within the Forbidden Land. What interested Zhang Fei [5] the most was the auction and the Temple of the Forgotten Flame, and he was impatient to go to those two places. Additionally, he was also impatient to meet the mysterious merchant, who appears there once every hundred years.

After they waited for some time, a powerful Qi wave swept toward all the cultivators present, indicating that the Forbidden Land had opened.

Liang Huizhong ordered his vice sect master to lead their sect members into the Forbidden Land, followed by groups of other cultivators.

Zhang Fei [5]’s group did not immediately follow them; he asked Yu Shan to wait for the rest of the group to enter first. After all the groups disappeared, they immediately moved to enter the Forbidden Land.

However, something unexpected suddenly happened, and the portal leading to the Forbidden Land was sealed from the inside, panicking Liang Huizhong and several people waiting outside.

“What happened, Sect Master? Why did this portal suddenly seal from the inside? Who did it?” An old man asked with a serious expression.

Liang Huizhong didn’t answer him and tried to open the seal forcefully, but a powerful counterattack knocked him quite far back. “Shit! Those demons created this seal!”

“Demons?”

“Yes.” Liang Huizhong returned to his previous position. “If my guess is correct, people from the Celestial Demon Race and the Asura Demon Race are inside; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to create such a powerful seal! I’ll contact the Golden Dragon Emperor now, especially since only he can defeat those demons.”

[Ding]

[The system has already recorded the Forbidden Land, and the host can access it through the gate in the future.]

Zhang Fei [5] smiled as the notification appeared, as he prevopusly thought that the gate would be useless in the Forbidden Land. ‘This way, I don’t have to bother going to the sect, and I can come back here whenever we want.’ “So, where are we going first, Elder Yu?”
