Chapter 182: Feng Yao
Given that time in the Sky Jade Realm was four times faster than on Earth, two days had passed when people finally learned about the destruction of the Li and Mei Clans. This news caused a stir throughout the western forest city, particularly since the Chu Clan had directly taken over their property.
Liu Qingyu immediately explained to those people the reasons for destroying the two clans, which made the situation in the city more panicked and a little chaotic.
She and Liu Hua deliberately did not conceal information about the relationship of the two clans with the Pang Clan, in the hope that they would be more prepared to deal with those heretics, and they also showed them one of Pang Hong's subordinates who was still in their custody.
Although the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect also heard the news, they did not directly interfere in the city's affairs, preferring to prepare their disciples to face the secret and unexpected attacks from the Pang Clan that could occur at any time.
Besides, they also sent some representatives to discuss the matter with Liu Qingyu and the Chu Clan, so they could devise a more suitable course of action.
Even so, people still didn't know about Gu Zhan's death or the disappearance of the people from the Zhao Clan, especially since Xing Mei was still covering up her son's death. People from the Chu Clan also covered up news about the clan, mainly because there were still two members left in the clan, as Zhao Feng and Zhao Liang were still alive.
Additionally, the remaining members of the Gu Assassin group had already arrived at the Zhao Clan. However, Liu Hua, Liu Qingyu, and the Wen Twins immediately ambushed them. As per Zhang Fei's wishes, they killed those who tried to oppose them and absorbed those who were willing to submit to the Hua Assassin group, making the group even bigger.
Liu Hua made an astonishing decision for the old members of the group, but the Wen Twins were not surprised by it, so she changed the group's name to the Demon Fox Assassin group based on Zhang Fei's two identities. Even so, none of them objected, especially since she was the one who founded the group, recruited them, and helped them so much in their lives.

When Zhang Lingxue and Zhao Ziqin arrived at the Zhang Clan, three women—Zi'er, Zhang Xiaoling, and her mother—greeted them with suspicious looks.
"Hahaha." Zhang Lingxue laughed awkwardly at their gazes, but she spoke to them immediately. "Hey, stop it, guys! You're right, I'm no longer a virgin, and I've given it to my husband."
"Your husband?" The three women let out low cries, particularly because Zhang Lingxue had never been in a relationship with a man and had previously only traveled to the western region to accompany his two disciples to Blazing Volcano Mountain in search of the Fire Yang Flower.
However, Chang Wenjie had already returned two weeks ago, informing them that they had failed to obtain the flower and that Zhang Lingxue was taking care of something there, which was why she was late in returning. Yet she had now returned with such news for them, so they were completely shocked to hear their confession.
Zi'er suddenly asked him. "Since when have your old injuries been recovered, Lingxue? I can no longer feel them, and your body also seems to be stronger than before you went to the western region."
"Hahaha." Instead, Zhang Lingxue laughed at his question. "You're right, my old injuries have indeed recovered, and this happened because of my husband. Furthermore, he also gave me several things that ultimately helped me strengthen my body."
"Aunt Lingxue, who is your husband? Why didn't you bring him here? Who is that woman next to you?" Zhang Xiaoling immediately threw out several questions at once, giving her aunt a curious look.
Zhang Lingxue's mother, Yang Yudie, was also very curious about her husband's identity. "Hurry up! Tell us everything, or I'll spank your ass, especially since you dare to get married without asking for my blessing first!"
"Pft! Hahaha!" Zhao Ziqin laughed while listening to Yang Yudie's words, but she felt that the Zhang Clan was much more pleasant and harmonious than her clan, especially since her family only cared about their status and didn't care about her feelings.
"Mother, I'm already this old, so you'd better not do such a thing to me; otherwise, I'll die of shame." Zhang Lingxue complained with a pout. "His name is Zhang Fei, and the girl beside me is Zhao Ziqin, who is his future wife."
"Zhang Fei?" The three women instantly frowned, and they tried to search in their memories for that name, but they felt like they never knew his name.
Yang Yudie then asked him. "Who is Zhang Fei? Which branch of our clan is he from? Why did you choose to marry a member of our branch clan?"
"Mother, you are wrong about that; Zhang Fei is not a member of our clan." Zhang Lingxue then drew Zhao Ziqin to sit on an empty chair, where she revealed her husband's true identity, along with some details she made up herself. However, she refrained from revealing that he was a demon and a beast fox.
"At first, I was as shocked as the three of you, but he really came from another realm, and I had gone there together with the Liu Sisters before, which proved the truth of the information in the ancient records about the existence of other realms. However, there is no Qi in his realm, so his master brought him and his family to move here so they could cultivate.
For now, they live in the Chu Clan, especially Liu Hua, Chu Ying, and Chu Qing, who are also his wives."
They were even more confused and shocked after hearing about Zhang Fei's relationship with the three women, and Zhang Xiaoling asked her again. "Aunt Lingxue, why did you decide to accept him as your husband? After all, he already has three wives, and Ziqin is also his future wife, so I feel strange about your decision, especially since he is the first man in your life."
"En." Zhang Lingxue can naturally understand their thoughts. "Honestly, I never thought about being with Zhang Fei, especially since I just met him at Blazing Volcano Mountain. However, he knows that my condition is critical, and I may die at any time."
After Zhang Lingxue said the last thing, the three women released heavy sighs, as they themselves knew about her critical condition, which had frustrated them for the past few years, especially since they had never managed to cure her injuries.
"That's why he offered me to become his wife because he could only heal me if I became one, and I decided to accept his offer because I didn't want to be separated from all of you." However, Zhang Lingxue secretly laughed as she spoke, feeling embarrassed to reveal that she had become Zhang Fei's wife due to a bet with Liu Qingyu.
"Besides, he is an extraordinary man, and you guys would be amazed if you knew what happened at our first meeting."
"What happened there?"
"Haha." Zhang Lingxue laughed and put on a proud expression. "Have you ever heard that a cultivator with cultivation in the elementary realm could face a divine beast and subdue it?"
"What?" Yang Yudie then frowned as she asked in disbelief. "Are you kidding us? How could a cultivator with such low cultivation be able to face a divine beast, let alone subdue it?"
"I agree with my grandma, Aunt! There's no way a cultivator at that stage can fight against a divine beast, whose cultivation should already be in the earth or heaven realms." Zhang Xiaoling expressed her opinion by shaking her head.
Unlike them, Zi'er seemed to believe in Zhang Lingxue. "What kind of divine beast is that? Wenjie did tell us about your failure to get that flower, but she didn't tell us about the Divine Beast or Zhang Fei."
"Zi'er, that divine beast is a huge serpent." Zhang Lingxue then pointed at Zhao Ziqin. "If you don't believe me, then you can ask her, because she's already met Boitata."
"Big Sis Lingxue is right, seniors." Zhao Ziqin respectfully spoke to them. "Boitata is indeed a serpent divine beast, and her cultivation has already reached the 10-Star Heaven Realm. However, I don't know how Zhang Fei subdued her, especially since they were already together when I first knew them."
The three women immediately turned to Zhang Lingxue, but she shrugged her shoulders at them, not intending to explain too much about Zhang Fei. "All right, you don't need to be curious like that; you will understand what's special about him when he visits this clan in the future.
Anyway, I have to go now, and I will bring Ziqin with me, or else Big Sis Yao will scold me endlessly because I was absent for too long."
As soon as the two women disappeared, Zhang Xiaoling asked Yang Yudie. "Grandma, what do you think about Aunt Lingxue's husband?"
"Honestly, I'm still skeptical about Lingxue's stories about Zhang Fei, especially his actions in subduing those divine beasts in the 10-Star Heaven Realm." Yang Hudie then pondered for a while before speaking again.
"However, if he can really travel between two realms, that means he is indeed not just any cultivator, and his master should be a powerful cultivator who is stronger than your grandfather and Chang Wuhen. Perhaps his master helped him to subdue that beast, but she and the others were unaware of that person's presence due to their difference in strength."
Zhang Xiaoling nodded in agreement with her grandmother, and she also thought the same as her because it was impossible for Zhang Fei to subdue such a powerful beast by himself.
Zi'er shook her head slightly before speaking to them. "All right, we don't need to be too curious about Zhang Fei, and we will find out everything when he comes here."

Since the locations of the Zhang Clan and the Blazing Phoenix Sect were not too far away, both women had arrived at the sect quickly, and Zhang Lingxue immediately took Zhao Ziqin to meet Feng Yao, the sect master of the sect.
However, Zhang Lingxue shivered when they arrived at the room's door, confusing Zhao Ziqin, who was standing beside her. Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and Feng Yao, who was sitting behind her desk, stared at her angrily, causing her to smile bitterly.
Feng Yao has butt-length black hair with two bangs hanging down to her chest, and the calmness on her pretty face makes people feel calm to be around her. Her red eyes look attractive and sharp, complemented by long and thin eyebrows, and her thin lips are quite tempting without lipstick. Her figure is tall and slim, and her long red dress perfectly hugs her body.
However, her figure is not as attractive as Zhang Lingxue or Zhao Ziqin, and her breasts are only around B-Cup, but a dignified and powerful aura radiates out from her.
Zhang Lingxue then brought Zhao Ziqin in and explained everything to Feng Yao, who immediately observed her body seriously, but she still kept several things secret from her, including the presence of Boitata beside Zhang Fei. "I see. I can see that your body has returned to normal, so I am really pleased with your recovery.
However, you have to contact your husband and take him to see me as soon as possible because I have a lot of questions for him, and I want to test him myself to see whether he is worthy to be my brother-in-law or not."
"Hehe." Zhang Lingxue chuckled and warned her. "Big Sis, Fei'er's cultivation is indeed far below yours, but you shouldn't underestimate him, lest you yourself regret underestimating him."
"I believe in you." Feng Yao replied with a nod. "Moreover, you know yourself that I never underestimate others, so I will test him to the best of my abilities. Since you are back now, I will catch up with Old Long and the others in the demon cave, and I will hand over the matters of our sect's internal competition to you.
As for Ziqin, you can take care of everything yourself, and it would be better if she became your direct disciple."
Zhang Lingxue immediately agreed with that. "All right, leave everything to me, and you can focus on helping them strengthen the seal on the demon portal."
