Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1356: Lake Bottom

The Yin-Yang Lotus stopped absorbing his soul power and returned it to his body, relieving him. However, the lotus didn’t stop absorbing the soul power of Nalan Wangzi and the others, leaving him with other thoughts.

Zhang Fei was a little doubtful that he could open his training space, but he tried anyway, and it worked. He summoned his fifth clone to take his place before leaving the lotus.

"I’ll go look for Yuyan." After he got dressed, Zhang Fei moved as fast as possible toward Jia Yuyan’s location.

The Yin-Yang Lotus directly absorbed Zhang Fei’s soul power again through his fifth clone, but its arrival only pleased Qing Qiu’er.

Unlike Nalan Wangzi and Qi Qingxiu, Qing Qiu’er was an experienced dual cultivator, and she was not the least bit embarrassed to dual cultivate with Zhang Fei [5] in front of so many women.

"Husband, let’s dual cultivate and dual-soul cultivate now." Qing Qiu’er’s request left Tianshi Shengjie and Tian Huangjin speechless, but they didn’t try to stop her because they knew it was useless.

"Haha." Zhang Fei [5] naturally had no problem with that, and he pulled Qing Qiu’er onto his lap. Within seconds, their genitals connected, and the two lotuses in their souls fused into the true Yin-Yang Lotus. "Let’s do it."

"What happened, husband?" Huang Xiaoyi asked Luo Fenghan, who had just arrived at their area.

Luo Fenghan explained to Huang Xiaoyi and Luo Yunxiao that he discovered Luo Qifeng and Luo Meizhen tied to two statues in the previous lower chamber, both of whom were unconscious. "I went to the inner sanctum before, but I couldn’t find Zhang Fei there."

"No need to look for my husband." Luo Yunxiao walked away directly. "Let’s go to that place, and I will save them both."

Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi exchanged glances for a moment, and they hurriedly followed Luo Yunxiao to the area where the lower chamber was located.

Sometime later, they arrived at the small room at the end of the narrow passage, and Luo Yunxiao touched the barrier that was blocking them.

"Are you sure you can remove this barrier?" Huang Xiaoyi asked.

"Everything is composed of Yin and Yang, including this barrier. This barrier is an ancient barrier, but that’s not a problem for me." The barrier instantly disappeared as soon as Luo Yunxiao activated the abilities of her Heaven-Earth Reversal Physique. "You can free them now, and I will go after my husband. By the way, you two can go to the western wing, and you will find Ancestor Jieyi and Ancestor Zhigui there."

Luo Fenghan watched his daughter leave while sighing to himself. "Our daughter’s special physique is too overpowered, wife."

"Yes." Huang Xiaoyi nodded in agreement. "I don’t know whether her special physique will be a blessing or a curse for our daughter. For now, almost no one knows about her special physique apart from those in our circle, but she will face great danger if the four perils or others find out about it, and they will hunt her down to take it from her."

Luo Fenghan had long been worried about this matter, and it was also one of his reasons for hiding Luo Yunxiao’s existence from the public. Although people were still unaware of her special physique, many already knew of her existence, which constantly worried her. "I’m worried about our daughter’s safety, but Zhang Fei is no ordinary cultivator, and he managed to defeat Jia Zizhen. Moreover, he will never let anything bad happen to her, and he will always protect her."

"Yes." Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi released their two ancestors from that place, and they brought them both to Luo Shiwen, who was waiting at the main gate of the monastery.

After that, Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi went to the western wing, but they couldn’t do anything to wake Luo Jieyi and Luo Zhigui. They decided to pick them up and take them to the main gate before continuing their exploration.

Although she didn’t possess the Nine Cloud Steps like Zhang Fei, Luo Yunxiao’s speed was not inferior to his, and she arrived at the lakeside at the same time as her husband. "Has Sister Yuyan reached the bottom, husband?"

"Not yet." Zhang Fei and Luo Yunxiao hurriedly took off their clothes. "Yuyan hasn’t reached the middle, so I’m sure this lake is very deep."

"Let’s go now, husband."

"Yeah."

Unlike Jia Yuyan, Zhang Fei possessed the water element, and his water elemental laws have long since reached the perfection stage. Despite the pressure emanating from the bottom, he was still able to carry Luo Yunxiao down with incredible speed.

In a few minutes, they arrived beside Jia Yuyan, and Zhang Fei enveloped her with his water qi before taking her and Luo Yunxiao to dive deeper.

The pressure continued to strengthen the more they dived in, but it wasn’t much of an obstacle with Luo Yunxiao by their side. She activated the abilities of her Heaven-Earth Reversal Physique again and dispelled the pressure, allowing them to dive more smoothly.

After they dived for some time, Zhang Fei and the two women finally arrived at the bottom of the lake, where they found many colorful crystals inside.

Zhang Fei asked Mei to check those colorful crystals, but she told him that the system had no data about them. Instead, she told him there was a spacious room behind some debris that covered the water passage in front of them, and he hurriedly destroyed it before leading the two women into it.

At the end of the water passage, they found another passage leading upwards. They hurriedly swam through the passage until they reached a fairly large room, but strangely, the water from the lake didn’t reach it, even though it was deep underwater.

They hurriedly jumped out of the water and dried their bodies, but they didn’t see anything there apart from an altar in the middle of the room with a statue of a male elf above it.

"This is weird; why isn’t there anything valuable here?" Luo Yunxiao muttered as she looked at the surrounding area.

Zhang Fei opened the map and checked the room, but it didn’t show anything there either. "Where did the previous pressure come from? I’m sure it came from something, but I can’t locate the source."

"Husband, the pressure comes from this male elf statue." Jia Yuyan walked up to the statue, leaned forward, and looked at the petrified crystal on the statue’s chest. "This male elf’s appearance is different from the elf race in the paradise realm, so I’m sure he’s an ancient elf."

"Are you saying that this male elf was once alive, Sister Yuyan?" Luo Yunxiao asked, standing beside Jia Yuyan.

"Yes." Jia Yuyan nodded slightly. "I don’t know what happened to this male elf in the past, but he’s definitely not a statue. He was affected by the petrification ability, which caused his body to turn to stone like this."

Luo Yunxiao turned to Zhang Fei. "Husband, you have the petrification ability, right? Can you reverse the effects?"

"No." Zhang Fei shook his head in response. "I do have the petrification ability, but I can’t reverse its effects. Moreover, we don’t have any information about this male elf, and we don’t know whether he was good or evil when he was alive, so it’s too risky if we reverse the effects."

Both women agreed with Zhang Fei, but Jia Yuyan immediately took out the broken staff she had found earlier and matched the green crystal with the petrified crystal on the male elf statue’s chest. "I think this broken staff is his because the shape of both crystals is exactly the same."

"Where did you find this broken staff, Sister Yuyan?"

"I found it not far from the lake."

*Swoosh*

A crimson fire suddenly shot out from Zhang Fei’s body, and it transformed into Feng Yao. "This male elf is a member of the Ancient Verdant Elf Race, and they can be said to be the first children of nature."

"The first children of nature." They Looked at Feng Yao.

"Yes." Feng Yao nodded at them. "The Ancient Verdant Elf Race is one of hundreds of elf races; they have the strongest life force and longest lifespan among others, and they can communicate directly with the mother nature. Even though this male elf was affected by the petrification ability, he is still alive now."

"Are there any evil people among the members of that race?"

"Hahaha," Feng Yao laughed at Luo Yunxiao’s question. "Like Yin and Yang, evil and good people exist in all races, including the Ancient Verdant Elf Race. I don’t know what happened to this male elf in the past, so I don’t know if he’s good or evil. By the way, none of the cultivators in the Paradise Realm can undo his petrification, so you guys don’t need to waste your time on him for now. However, he might be useful to you if you go to the Ancient Realm in the future, so you can move him somewhere else."

"Since you put it that way, I will move this male elf into my soul world, so I don’t have to go to this place anymore." After Zhang Fei did that, Feng Yao turned into a crimson flame and re-entered his body. "Since there’s nothing here, we should leave now."

"Husband, I think you should take those colorful crystals, and who knows, they might come in handy in the future."

"I did intend to take them."
