Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son-Chapter 1026: The Secret of The Cao Clan II

"People experimented by combining various types of beasts or demon beasts to create new species, and the results of these failed experiments were known as chimeras. In fact, the experiments were not failures; rather, the results produced creatures that were much stronger than normal ones, but their appearance was disgusting, like the people on this screen. Look at those creatures; most lacked rationality and were completely under the control of their beast instincts." Jia Yuyan observed the people on the screen with a serious expression, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] also appeared deep in thought. "I don’t know where the Cao Clan came from or who taught them such a thing, but these creatures are very dangerous if they are allowed to run loose. Have you never seen such creatures in the Paradise Realm? According to the old man, there was a mad scientist there, and that person created the chimeras in the tower."

"I don’t know about other domains, but there have never been creatures like this roaming around in my domain. Even if they manage to enter my domain, the guards will eliminate them as soon as they set foot there." Jia Yuyan then asked him. "Can you check their strength?"

"Unfortunately, I can’t check their strength, but I’m sure they weren’t ordinary cultivators before the people from the Cao Clan turned them into chimeras like this." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then took the orb to check other areas until it reached an underground prison, where he found many humans, members of natural races, and beast races locked up in terrible conditions. "How did your people fall into their hands?"

Jia Yuyan naturally recognized the members of the natural races who were imprisoned there, which made her furious. "Back then, they went out to look for goods to trade with humans, but they never returned. We tried to look for them, but it never came to fruition. We thought they died at the hands of the beasts, but it turned out they were captured by the Cao Clan, and those bastards intended to use them for their experiments. Can you ask your friends to send us into that clan? I want to free my people, and I will kill those evil bastards."

"I can understand your feelings, but we have to investigate the Cao Clan deeper first, and we will meet him after this." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then continued to inspect the clan using the Demon’s Eyes Orb. However, they did not see anything else scary, making him wonder where the clan members were conducting their experiments. "I think they didn’t do it alone, and some other clans might be involved in their experiments."

"The Bao and Sima Clans."

"That’s right." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. "I’ve gotten information about the Gu Clan from Gu Changsheng’s memories, so I know they weren’t involved in these experiments. Therefore, it’s very likely that the Bao and Sima Clan members helped the Cao Clan to conduct their experiments, and they might have conducted them in one of those clans."

Upon hearing that, Jia Yuyan rested her chin on one hand while contemplating various matters. "If your guess is correct, how could they transfer the results of their experiments to the Cao Clan without other people knowing?"

"Let me check the clan in more detail." Sometime later, Zhang Xiaolong [3] found a path leading underground, and he sent the orb to check inside directly. To their surprise, they saw a fairly wide underground passageway, but it was not as wide as the one beneath the eastern forest. "We should have guessed it; they built that passageway to connect the three clans, and they transported the results of their experiments through it."

"Do you have a way to destroy the passageway?" Jia Yuan turned her head to him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately asked Mei to buy some items at the modern shop, and he took them from the system inventory, showing them to Jia Yuyan. "We just need to plant these explosives all over the place, and I will detonate them from a distance. This way, they won’t notice our actions, especially since we don’t need to use Qi or anything. Even so, their explosions will be enormous, and the situation in this realm will probably be a bit chaotic."

"I don’t care about that! I have to stop them and free my race from the hands of the Cao Clan." Jia Yuyan immediately stood up and walked out. "Let’s go! We have to meet Zhu Ru and Ren Shuo now."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately turned off the memory extractor, flew the Demon’s Eyes Orb out of the Cao Clan, and hurried to follow Jia Yuyan to meet the two leaders of the dwarf and the genome races.

A while later, Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already brought many people to a rice field. He handed the explosives to the people of the two races. "Old Ren! Old Zhu! This location serves as the meeting point for the passageway, so we will begin our operation from here. After you guys enter it, you two and your men must move quickly to plant these explosives on the walls. Once you guys come out, I will immediately detonate them."

"All right." After they handed the explosives to their subordinates, Ren Shuo and Zhu Ru immediately used their earth elements and dug the ground until they reached the passageway. Once they entered it, the two immediately led their subordinates and spread out into three different passages, where they planted those explosives on both walls.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong [3] monitored the situation in the underground passageway through the system map, just in case people from the three clans suddenly appeared there.

Fortunately, no members of the three clans wandered into the underground passageway in the process, leaving the people of the dwarf and the gnome races more free to carry out their duties.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] tried to check on the Bao and Sima Clans, but only the latter was protected by the same barrier as the Cao Clan. Therefore, he sent the Demon’s Eyes Orb to the Bao Clan to investigate that clan while waiting for the people from the dwarf and the gnome races to complete their tasks.

A while later, Jia Yuyan turned to Zhang Xiaolong [3] and questioned him. "Did you find any terrible things in the Bao Clan?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. "There are a lot of chimeras in the Bao Clan, but they put them under their clan dungeon because they are more numerous and more brutal than the ones in the Cao Clan."

"Did you find any other nature races in the Bao Clan?"

"I couldn’t find any prisoners in the Bao Clan, and I don’t think they dare to keep them in their clan, because their barrier is more than the ones in the Cao and Sima Clans." Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a sigh after saying that. "I didn’t expect that the situation in this realm would be this awful, and none of you noticed the actions of the three clans. If Cao Ren and the others released those chimeras, then massive chaos would occur in this realm, and the situation would take too many lives."

Jia Yuyan couldn’t help but sigh listening to that. "Do you think I should tell Tian Jingxuan and the others about this matter?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately agreed. "I don’t want to waste my time dealing with the problems that arise due to their carelessness, so you should go and discuss this matter with them, and you guys should devise a plan to deal with the problems that will arise if Cao Ren and the others decide to use those chimeras."

"All right, I will go meet them now."

After Jia Yuyan left him, Zhang Xiaolong [3] tried to investigate the entire area of ​​the Bao Clan more thoroughly. He believed that Cao Ren and the others could not create those chimeras themselves, and he was sure that there were others helping them behind the scenes. Unfortunately, he was disappointed, especially since he couldn’t find the mastermind behind it.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then turned towards the location of the Sima Clan, but Tian Kui and Serpentera suddenly appeared in front of him. "Why are you so serious? Did you find anything unusual?"

"Why did you order these natural races to do that?" Serpentera asked him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately shared the events he had discovered in the Cao and Bao Clans with the two, causing Serpentera and Tian Kui to frown.

"Such a method is left behind in this realm, huh?" Serpentera muttered to himself. "In the past, my late master and I often encountered those creatures, and if I remember correctly, the people who controlled them were members of the Kuang Clan. However, that clan was long destroyed by those righteous cultivators, especially since they used those creatures to slaughter many living beings."

"Do you think there are still remnants of the Kuang Clan?"

Serpentera nodded to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "You yourself have fought those creatures in the Star Tower, and I believe that the people who created them are the remnants of the Kuang Clan."

"You’re wrong about that." All of them turned to Wan Jiang, who had just arrived with his three disciples. "We have completely wiped out the Kuang Clan, leaving no remnants. However, their method of creating those creatures fell into the hands of a madman, and he created the ones in my tower. My higher-ups have hunted him for hundreds of thousands of years, but he always managed to escape thanks to his unique abilities."

"Who is that person, Old Man?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked him.

Wan Jiang looked at Serpentera and Tian Kui. "I’m sure you know that person, especially since he is an ancient beast like you two."

"Hmm?" Serpentera and Tian Kui frowned at him. "What kind of ancient beast is he?"

"The Chaos Nightmare Beast."

"What the fuck! That guy again!" Tian Kui shouted as he trembled.

"Hahaha!" Serpentera laughed as he patted his friend’s shoulder. "That incident happened too long ago, so you should forget your trauma from fighting that guy."

"Forget your ass!" Tian Kui shouted at him. "That guy almost killed me back then! He even considered transforming me into that disgusting creature! Fortunately, he was caught off guard because of those humans, and I managed to escape from him; otherwise, I would have died long ago and become like them!"

Since Mei has no data on the Chaos Nightmare Beast, Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked them. "Is that beast so powerful and terrifying?"

"Meeting Meng Shou will be the worst nightmare for you!" Zhang Xiaolong [3] arched eyebrows at Tian Kui. "According to the legend, he was a terror born from the collapse of ancient realms. He was not merely a physical creature but a manifestation of hatred, fear, despair, and various other corrupted emotions. In addition to this, he was an amalgamation of fragments from those ancient realms, which allowed him to master the dao and the laws. Since you have understood both of them, you should know his horror."

Serpentera then added. "The main problem is the flame in his body, which burns with ever-changing flames made of fragmented laws—neither Yin nor Yang, neither Heaven nor Earth."

"Oh?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] was surprised to hear that. "Flames are made of fragmented laws, huh?

"That’s right." Serpentera then looked at Wan Jiang. "How did Meng Shou get that method? Do you know the purpose of him using that method?"

"I don’t know where Meng Shou got that method from." Wan Jiang then created a Qi screen and displayed various items, which made Serpentera and Tian Kui frown. "He wanted to transform himself into the ultimate beast by fusing many beasts into his body, and he used many living creatures as experiments. Despite many failures, he had succeeded in several experiments, and his appearance had changed significantly since before."

"What a crazy bastard!" Tian Kui cursed with a frown.

Serpentera nodded in agreement. "Unfortunately, Meng Shou will never succeed in becoming an ultimate beast, especially with the existence of the Primordial Nihility Beast. No matter how hard he tries to do so, that beast can wipe him out with just one sneeze."

Since they often listened to Zhang Fei and the others in the Star Tower, Wan Jiang and his disciples were no longer surprised to hear about the Primordial Nihility Beast, and they were sure that it was the most powerful beast in the universe alongside the Primordial Genesis Beast.

"Give your orb to me." Helian Xun’er extended her hand to Zhang Xiaolong [3], who immediately gave the Demon’s Eyes Orb to her. She then sent the orb to the Sima Clan, especially since she knew that she wanted to investigate the clan. "It’s done."

Unlike Wan Jiang and Sima Yun, Hua Mei’er wore an annoyed look because Helian Xun’er repeatedly helped Zhang Xiaolong [3], but she didn’t dare to say anything because she had once been affected by her abilities.

Hua Mei’er shuddered as Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at her with a strange smile, forcing her to flee the location instantly. Wan Jiang could only shake his head seeing that, and he also left the place with his other two disciples.

Tian Kui then spoke to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "You don’t need to think about those ugly creatures, and I will swallow them if the people from the three clans decide to use them."

"All right."

Not long after Serpentera and Tian Kui left, Ren Shuo and Zhu Ru had already brought their subordinates out of the underground passageway. Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately brought them all back to the eastern forest, and he right away detonated all the explosives, which caused a great tremor throughout the realm.

However, the ones most significantly affected by their explosion were the Cao, Bao, and Sima Clans because the underground passageway connected the three clans directly.

.

.

.

"What the hell is that? Where did that explosion come from?" Qing Huang, who was with Tian Jingxuan and the others, exclaimed in shock.

Shi Yan hurriedly stood up from his chair and went to the window. "Isn’t that the area of ​​the Cao, Bao, and Sima Clans? Who is looking for trouble with those three clans?"

"Who else?" The two old men turned to Tian Jingxuan, who was also walking towards the window. "Only that little bastard has the guts to cause trouble in our realm, but I don’t understand his purpose in doing so, especially since his actions will only lure those old fogeys out of hiding."

"Then—"

"Do the three of you think he deliberately caused trouble for no apparent reason?" They turned to Jia Yuyan and a few others who had just arrived. The female fairy immediately created a Qi screen to display the discovery she and Zhang Xiaolog made in the Cao Clan. "We were all too careless this whole time, and we didn’t pay attention to them."

"What kind of terrifying creatures are they? How could they be inside the Cao Clan?" Tian Jingxuan asked with a serious expression.

"Chimeras." Jia Yuyan then explained to them about those creatures. "We never noticed their actions because they transported those creatures through the underground passageway that connected their three clans, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] just blew them up. We don’t know the strength of those creatures, but they would definitely wreak havoc in our realm if they were released outside. Therefore, we must quickly formulate a plan to prevent the worst possibility; otherwise, there would be too many casualties."

"If that’s the case—"

Shangguan Yan hurriedly interrupted Qing Huang. "Zhang Xiaolong [3] is not a native of this realm, but we are, so we can’t keep relying on him. Moreover, he has already agreed to help us stop Qi Lai, so we have to deal with the trouble that has arisen due to our carelessness."

"I agree with her." Li Zixun spoke. "I’ve contacted the Ning and Yi Clans, and I asked them to come here immediately."

Qing Huang and Shi Yan’s expressions turned irritated, especially since Shangguan Yan and the others clearly sided with Zhang Xiaolong [3]. However, Tian Jingxuan forbade them to say anything, and they immediately sat together to discuss the matter.
