Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1338: New Defense

Qi Qingxiu fiercely glared at Zhang Fei as soon as she entered the barrier, making him chuckle. "Why are you looking at me like this? Don’t you always enjoy yourself when we are together in the dream?"

"You—" Qi Qingxiu was furious, but she hurriedly suppressed it. "Did you know that Mo Shentian and Jiu Mozu started hunting you a week ago?"

"My mother-in-law has already informed me about the matter." Zhang Fei’s answer took Qi Qingxiu aback, as she couldn’t find him for the past week. "I’m in seclusion, but I have several clones, and one of them is in the Slaughter Blood Domain. All my clones are connected to my real body, and my mother-in-law told me about Mo Shentian and Jiu Mozu’s plans through my clone."

Qi Qingxiu nodded in understanding. "So, what are your plans next? Are you going to face them directly?"

"Do you think I’m that crazy?" Zhang Fei responded with a shake of his head. "I did defeat Jia Zizhen, but those two demon gods are on a different level, especially Mo Shentian. Even if I use all the advantages in my possession, I can’t defeat him with my current strength, and I will die at his hands. As for Jiu Mozu, he is not as strong as the former, but he has the support of his nine subordinates. Additionally, Jiu Moze is still alive, and he will certainly assist his disciple if I attack him now. Since I won’t be able to win a fight against them, I won’t make a move on them now, and I will wait for the right time to deal with them."

Qi Qingxiu naturally knew the strength of Mo Shentian and Jiu Mozu, and she would have faced them long ago if she were confident in defeating them. Unfortunately, they were both far stronger than her, even though their cultivation and demon rank were at the same level.

"Moreover, I still have one important matter, but I’m still hesitant to go to that domain." Qi Qingxiu looked curious after hearing Zhang Fei’s statement. "Haha! You don’t have to be this curious, you know? My next business is in the Ten Thousand Beast Grave Domain, but the four perils are much stronger than Mo Shentian. Their beast rank is a level above mine, and they can suppress me with their bloodline power, so I will not act rashly to go to their domain."

"What do you want to do in their domain?"

Zhang Fei released a soft sigh before telling Qi Qingxiu. "One of the ten-tailed fox’s souls lives in their domain, so I must go there to meet him."

"I see." Qi Qingxiu then gave Zhang Fei an idea. "Why don’t you ask Long Xukong for help? He’s a void dragon, so I’m sure he should be able to take you into their domain without alerting them."

"I’ve asked Long Xukong about that before, but the Four Perils will still notice our presence, and it will cause a major issue between the beast and evil beast races." Zhang Fei immediately changed their conversation. "Luolan shared your ideas with me; what do you think I should do next?"

"Turn this domain into a forest domain." Qi Qingxiu directly grabbed Zhang Fei’s hand and flew out of the sect with him, and Luo Yunxiao followed behind.

Qi Qingxiu pointed in several directions within the Twin Flames Domain. "The areas in this domain are too open, so it will be difficult for you to set up illusion formations. You have hundreds of dryads by your side, so you can utilize their abilities to transform this domain into a forest domain."

"Isn’t that not very useful? Other cultivators can attack us from the air, right?"

"You’re not wrong about that." Qi Qingxiu nodded to Luo Yunxiao. "What do you think will happen if you set up aerial formations?"

"Aerial formations?"

"Yes." Qi Qingxiu explained directly. "I don’t know the extent of the knowledge of the array masters in the Three Mortal Realms, but there are many aerial formations in this Paradise Realm, and Liao Hanxue knows a lot about them. I installed several aerial formations in my domain, and I also installed many ground formations, such as illusion formations and trap formations. Unlike me, those dryads can create natural formations from trees, so you can use them and illusion formations as multiple defenses."

"Hmm?" Zhang Fei pondered some things before asking. "There should be aerial formations to restrict flying ability, right?"

Qi Qingxiu nodded at Zhang Fei. "If you use such formations, flying artifacts will not be able to enter this domain, and all cultivators will have to walk from the outermost area, which will consume a lot of time to get in and out of it."

"Husband, such a situation is indeed troublesome, but I think it is much better to protect this domain from attacks by other cultivators." Luo Yunxiao turned to the floating plateau. "What about this plateau? Will that formation affect it? If that formation affects it, this plateau will fall down, and it will no longer be special."

"Why should you care about this plateau?" Qi Qingxiu responded with a shake of her head. "This floating plateau wasn’t created by living beings, and it naturally existed alongside this domain, so such a formation won’t affect it."

"Are you sure about that, Qingxiu?"

"A hundred percent!"

Zhang Fei nodded slightly before leading the two women to land outside the city below the floating plateau. Then, he used his forest manipulation ability and plant manipulation ability to create an artificial forest in that area, and he planned to spread it around the entire city, which shocked Qi Qingxiu.

Since Zhang Fei was still concentrating on creating the forest, Qi Qingxiu didn’t interrupt him; instead, she asked Luo Yunxiao, "How did your husband acquire the abilities of the dryads?"

"Haha." Luo Yunxiao giggled. "My husband is different from other lust demons, and he has a special ability to mimic the abilities of other demons, so he mimicked these abilities of one of his wives and his subordinates."

Qi Qingxiu raised an eyebrow before looking up at the sky, sensing four people flying towards them. "Are the four of them his wives?"

"Not all of them." After the four women landed beside them, Luo Yunxiao introduced them to Qi Qingxiu. "Janette and Lillea are my husband’s wives, and they come from the Diyu Realm. Sabina leads the dryads of the Sky Jade Realm, and Jing Shenlin leads the dryads of the Sovereign Heaven Realm."

Qi Qingxiu nodded in understanding and spoke to them. "You guys have to help Zhang Fei."

"Yes." Janette, Lillea, Sabina, and Jing Shenlin immediately used their abilities to help Zhang Fei.

Within an hour, dense forest had surrounded the entire city; the sudden appearance of the forest shocked the city’s residents. Not to mention, those trees were incredibly tall, forcing the city’s officials to come out to investigate.

When they arrived outside, they saw Zhang Fei and the four dryads continuing to expand the forest into all areas for several miles, leaving them wondering about their goals.

Luo Yunxiao immediately met them, and she asked them to announce to the residents that the forest would serve as additional protection for their city, but she did not explain too much detail and asked them to wait for Zhang Fei to make another announcement.

After they returned to the city, Luo Yunxiao returned to Qi Qingxiu’s side, waiting for Zhang Fei and the four dryads to finish everything. The forest wasn’t just filled with tall, large trees but also many other types of smaller trees and swamps.

Zhang Fei didn’t cover the entire area with forest; he left some spaces to be used as roads for the city’s residents to enter and exit and to connect the city with other cities within the domain.

Qi Qingxiu shook her head slightly, watching their actions. ’I don’t understand how a strange creature like him can exist in this universe, but his existence is both beneficial and threatening to others.’

’Sister Qingxiu.’ Qi Qingxiu turned to Luo Yunxiao with a raised eyebrow. ’You should prepare yourself because my husband will make a move on you soon.’

’Tch!’ Qi Qingxiu gnashed her teeth. ’You should tell your husband to stay away from me! I’m not interested in him!’

’Can’t do it.’ Luo Yunxiao gave a slight headshake. ’My husband has already set his eyes on you, and he will never change his mind. Moreover, you two have spent a lot of time together in the dream, and you should be used to his presence; otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to our sect and waited for him for a week, right?’

Despite not responding to Luo Yunxiao, Qi Qingxiu’s expression indicated that her words hit the mark. She was indeed starting to get used to Zhang Fei’s presence, especially after everything he did to her in the dream.

Three hours later, Zhang Fei and the four dryads had stopped their activities, and the forest had spread to various areas up to 1000 miles away. However, the Twin Flames Domain was simply too vast, and the forest was insignificant compared to its vast area.

"Husband, this domain is several times larger than Earth, and we will need at least a month if you want to cover this entire domain with forest." Janette spoke.

Lillea also spoke to Zhang Fei. "Since you also want to create other things in the forest, we’ll probably need more time than that to finish everything."
