Chapter 421 Gathered
"Have they moved here?" Zi'er inquired immediately upon the appearance of Zhang Xiaolong [3].
"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then told them about the heretics' latest plan, especially about the Gu insects of the Gu Clan. After that, he handed them several small bottles. "Gu Jinglin has already fallen into my hands, and I obtained these antidotes from her, so you guys don't need to be afraid of their poison Gu.
However, you guys still have to be careful of their other Gu insects, especially the heart-controlling Gu and the soul-devouring Gu."
"What are the abilities of those two insects?" It was Di Xingjie who asked Zhang Xiaolong[3].
"If the heart-controlling Gu invades your bodies, then you guys will completely fall into Gu Changsheng's control, and he can use you to kill each other." Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s answer caused them to frown, but his next explanation frightened them even more.
"The soul-devouring Gu's ability is even more terrifying, especially since it will slowly devour your soul, and all of you will experience extremely terrifying torture. Unfortunately, there is no item that can repel both of them, and the only way to get rid of them is by using light qi.
Moreover, both insects are small and difficult to see with the naked eye, so it's crucial that you always shield yourself with Qi. Otherwise, none of you will notice if both insects enter your body, which would be detrimental to us."
They solemnly nodded to Zhang Xiaolong [3], followed by a question from Feng Xiaogang. "What about the demons in the Netherworld realm? Do you have any information about their movements?"
"Not yet." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then asked Mei to open a portal to the training space. "I haven't been to that realm for three days, but those cultivators have probably arrived there by now, so I'll go there now to check on them, and my fourth clone will help you guys monitor those heretics."
Feng Xiaogang and the others were surprised when the gate leading to the Netherworld realm opened before their eyes, and they could feel such a powerful demon aura from it. Zhang Xiaolong[3] immediately entered it, and it disappeared from their sight in that instant.
"You kid! You are our junior, but all of your abilities always amaze us." Di Xingjie then questioned Zhang Fei [4]. "How have you progressed in studying the formation arrays I gave you previously? Don't tell me that you have already understood them all in just three weeks."
"Hahaha." Zhang Fei [4] laughed before nodding to Di Xingjie. "I already understand them all, Senior. However, I am still busy with my cultivation, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] is occupied with various matters, so I haven't had time to look for materials to install them."
Di Xingjie massaged his forehead after listening to Zhang Fei [4]'s answer, especially since studying and understanding formation arrays was never easy, even if they were basic formation arrays, yet he could understand all five formations in a short time. "You're a freak kid! It took me three months to fully comprehend everything.
Anyway, after we have cleared out these heretics and repelled those demons, you can visit our Di Clan, and our patriarch will surely be happy to help you if he knows of your talent in formation arrays."
Zhang Fei [4] suddenly turned in another direction and saw several flying artifacts moving towards them quickly. "The people from the eastern and western regions have already arrived, so we just need to wait for the people from the southern region."
Stay tuned for updates on empire
"Who are they?" Chang Liangjun asked while pointing at a flying artifact that was still quite far from their location.
"Hmm?" Zhang Fei [4] immediately checked the identities of the flying artifact's passengers on his map. "They are the moon foxes."
Several people suddenly appeared before them, but their presence caused the atmosphere in the place to become silent as they were completely surprised by their presence, especially the ordinary members of those clans, and they looked at Zhang Fei [4] with questions in their minds.
"You have arrived in this region for a long time, but you only appear now, Grandpa Oliver." Zhang Fei [4] uttered these words as he approached the group of natural races, then turned his attention to the people from those clans. "I don't need to explain their identities to all of you, right?"
Oliver just smiled at the people. "Just like you, I also monitor the movements of those heretics, so I know that you have caused a stir among them by kidnapping Gu Jinglin, and your action was very good for us because their strength was reduced quite a bit. Anyway, I deliberately left Elmyra and some of them in the four regions, so they could help protect them."
"It's not a problem, Grandpa. They are also as strong as Sabina and the others, so they are enough to help us." Zhang Fei [4] then looked at the people who had just arrived before speaking to them. "I know that all of you are powerful cultivators, and the majority of you are much stronger than me.
I can also understand your desire to protect this realm, but our opponents are not only those heretics and demons, and it is possible that we will also face those cultivators from the upper realms. That's why I hope all of you will not force yourselves to fight them if that happens, especially since you will only die in vain in their hands.
If you die, then this realm will completely fall into their hands, but you still have a chance to reclaim it if you are still alive."
"Do you think we can hide from them?" Lian Xiang immediately asked Zhang Fei [4]. "You yourself said that they are too strong, and their cultivation has already surpassed the ten mortal realms, so there will be no safe place in this realm if they really help those demons to attack us."
"That's right." Luo Yigang, the caretaker of the Luo Clan, nodded in agreement with that. "Since their cultivation is already that high, they will definitely be able to find us without breaking a sweat, so I think there is no point in us running away and hiding, and it would be better if we fought them to the death."
"Haha." Dong Fuxiang laughed as he patted Luo Yigang on the shoulder. "I agree with you, Brother Luo. In the past, our ancestors also did the same, and they sacrificed themselves to seal those demons. We are descendants of brave warriors, so we will not cower, let alone run away from the fight, and we will use all our strength to eliminate the enemies."
"This realm is our ancestral land, so we must protect it with our lives." Chu Liuxiang then looked at Zhang Fei [4]. "We are old now, so it doesn't matter if we have to die to defend this realm.
However, I hope that you can bring our descendants away from this realm if we fail to stop them; only then will our descendants not be wiped out, and they can strengthen themselves to take back this realm from their hands in the future."
*Zing... Zing...*
As soon as they heard the sound of sword vibrations, they immediately turned to Yang Ye, who then spoke to them. "As you guys can see, my sword is thirsting for blood, so I will use their blood to satisfy it, especially the blood of the remaining traitors of our realm."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
*Swoosh... Swoosh...*
Dozens of women suddenly appeared before them, and all of them immediately kneeled before Zhang Fei [4]. "Master."
'Master?' Yang Ye and the others were shocked to hear that. 'Since when did he have so many subordinates? Furthermore, all of them are women, and their cultivation is not bad either; most of them have reached the earth realm.'
Zhang Fei [4] just nodded to the members of the demon fox group, and Mei immediately opened the gate to the training ground, which shocked them again.
Boitata was the first to walk out from inside while glancing at the cultivators with a playful smile on her face, and several other women followed behind her, such as Zhang Lingxue, Liu Qingyu, Liu Hua, Shen Yu, Shen Xueyi, the Wen Twins, Qiao Ran, and Mei Xiang.
Not only them, but even some of Zhang Fei [1]'s partners, such as Yan Luan'er, Xi Zihua, and Shi Yue, also joined them.
Additionally, Zhang Fei himself decided to end his seclusion for the time being, especially since the women insisted on participating in the fight; there was no way he would let them fight on their own. However, he strictly forbade those whose cultivation was still below the Earth Realm from joining them, especially since they would not be able to withstand the pressure from their enemies.
They were no longer surprised to see that, especially since most of them had seen Zhang Fei and his two clones at the Yin-Yang Pavilion during his wedding with Shen Yu. Instead, they were curious about Qiao Ran and Mei Xiang's presence, especially since their Qiao and Mei clans were vassals of the Pang Clan.
However, they remembered that the Mei Clan had been destroyed, and they had also heard rumors that the Qiao Clan had undergone significant changes, which coincided with the destruction of the Huan Clan.
After that, his fourth clone immediately returned to the training space, so he could complete the daily quest and others. Zhang Fei smiled as he looked at them one by one, and he felt amazed by their determination to defend their ancestral realm. "Seniors, all of you are extraordinary cultivators with strong determination, and I still have a lot to learn from all of you."
"You don't need to be humble like that, Kid." Luo Yigang spoke with a shake of his head. "If not for you, we wouldn't be here, and we'd never know about those demons and heretics' plans, let alone the powerful cultivators behind them."
"If we manage to win this battle, then you will be a hero for this realm, Kid." Zhu Xuejun said it with an admiring look.
"Haha." Instead, Zhang Fei laughed at Zhu Xuejun's words. "Senior, I am not a hero, and I never wanted to be one. I did everything just to protect the people closest to me, so they could live in peace without having to be haunted by threatening dangers.
Anyway, it would be better for all of you to spread out now, especially since those people are getting closer to this area, and they might notice your presence, so you must suppress it as much as possible."
All of them nodded in agreement with Zhang Fei, and they immediately scattered in various directions after dividing their people into several small groups.
As usual, Liu Hua and the Wen Twins led the members of the demon fox group. Meanwhile, Liu Qingyu went with Qiao Ran and Mei Xiang to another area, as did Shen Xueyi and Shen Yu, who went together.
Yan Luan'er, Xi Zihua, and Shi Yue also left together while they waited for the people from the Yin-Yang Pavilion to arrive.
Zhang Lingxue joined the members of the Zhang Clan, and she divided them into two groups, with Zi'er leading half of them.
Oliver and several leaders from the natural races also left their meeting location, but they stood guard around the entrance to the demon cave.
Boitata did not leave the place, and she accompanied Zhang Fei, who was watching the movements of those heretics from the map. She then looked towards the members of the moon fox races who had just arrived, and he could see the hostility in Hu Peiwu and Hu Dahai's eyes, especially since Hu Gao had given them specific orders.
Unlike them, Hu Qiaomu looks frustrated with herself, especially since her life is in Zhang Fei's hands with the fusion of their souls, so she no longer has her freedom anymore.
Boitata brought her head to Zhang Fei's ear before whispering to him. 'Husband, the cultivation of those two old men is a level above mine, and the other three are on par with me. Even so, I am confident that we can still face them, especially with Hu Qiaomu's help. Moreover, you can borrow half of my strength, so you can suppress them with your bloodline power, and we can defeat them directly.'
'You are right.' Zhang Fei nodded to Boitata as he looked at those people with a faint smile. 'We won't make a move on them for now, especially since those heretics are getting closer. However, we'll make a move right away if they attack us first, and I'll use them to pressure Hu Gao so I can take Hu Yue from them faster.'
'In that case, I will monitor them closely.' Boitata replied while nodding in agreement.
Zhang Fei then spoke to Hu Qiaomu. "It's good that you guys have arrived here, as those heretics are on their way to this area. I hope you can spread out to block them, and if you have the chance, kill them."
"Humph!" Some of them snorted coldly before leading the rest of their members to disappear from the place, but Zhang Fei didn't pay much attention to their behavior.
"What is your plan exactly? Are we going to fight those heretics head-on?" Hu Qiaomu immediately questioned Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei smiled in response. "Your race members are too arrogant and overconfident, you know? Those heretics are not as weak as they think, and they have also prepared a lot of things to face us. But meh, I don't care if something happens to them, and it would be better for me if they died by their hands, so Hu Gau will think again to find trouble with me."
"What do you mean by that?" Hu Qiaomu inquired with a frown, as she could not possibly let her race members die at the hands of those heretics.
Instead, Zhang Fei shrugged his shoulders. "I won't tell you anything, and you can find a place to hide for now."
"Tch!" Hu Qiaomu gritted her teeth and flew away directly, but she also warned her clansmen to be careful, especially since Zhang Fei's previous words gave her a bad feeling.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was sitting leisurely on one of the Arbeola branches, and his eyes kept watching the situation in the Demon Emperor City, but he had not found any cultivators from the upper realm, which confused him.
Arbeola suddenly told Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Hey, that female cultivator came here three days ago, and she came here specifically to look for you, so I told her that you went to another area because you were bored of staying here."
"Oh?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] was surprised to hear Shang Yaolin looking for him. "Do you know the purpose of her looking for me, Old Demon?"
"No." Arbeola answered with a slight shake of his head. "After she couldn't find you here, that woman immediately went to look for you, and she also didn't want to tell me her reason, so you have to be careful of her."
Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in understanding at Arbeola's warning, but his expression immediately changed when he felt a powerful aura coming from the sky, so he immediately looked up and found a red flying artifact flying quickly towards the Demon Emperor City. "They've finally arrived, Old Demon. There are quite a few of them, and two among them are truly powerful."
