Chapter 1630: Leave The Tower

"Heavenly Trial Domain, right?" Dugu Yuanshen nodded to Zhang Fei. "Are you sure you want to go back there, Senior? Most of your elders and disciples only arrived on the third floor today, and they’ve only completed one challenge, so their efforts to get here would be in vain if they were to turn back now."

Dugu Yuanshen shook his head. "Naturally, not all of us will be returning to the sect. I will only be bringing a few elders with me, and our disciples will remain in this tower. Actually, we have a teleportation portal connecting this domain to ours, and we can return whenever we want."

"If you want it like that, I will send you back to your domain." After Dugu Yuanshen summoned several elders, Zhang Fei opened the gate to the Heavenly Trial Domain.

"Young man," Dugu Yuanshen patted his shoulder. "If you need our help fighting those shadowy creatures, you can contact me directly, and I will lead my men to assist you. After all, the safety and peace of this universe are not only your responsibility; all of us as its inhabitants are also responsible for them."

Zhang Fei initially thought the people from the War God Pavilion would be his enemies because of his demon identity, but it turned out he was mistaken. "Thank you, Senior. If I need your help, I will contact you immediately. Currently, I cannot confirm anything about those shadowy creatures, but I hope you all start preparing to prevent any eventuality."

"I know." Dugu Yuanshen nodded slightly. "I will contact my old friends, such as Hun Lingwu and the others, and I will tell them about those shadowy creatures."

Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow slightly at the old man’s name. "Senior, Hun Lingwu is my enemy, and I did some things to him a few years ago. He should already be aware of everything and hold a grudge against me, so you should not tell him about me."

"Oh? What’s the matter between you and Hun Lingwu?" Zhang Fei told Dugu Yuanshen about his problems with the old man, including his actions towards Jing Qiuyue, Yan Yinqing, and Jun Qingling. "Sigh! I’ve advised him countless times, but he never changed. Luckily, you’ve taken his mirror away from him, so he won’t be able to do that kind of thing anymore. You don’t have to worry about him, and I won’t say anything to him about you."

"Thank you, Senior."

"I will take them back to our domain now." Dugu Yuanshen led those elders away from the tower through Zhang Fei’s gate. Upon their arrival at their domain, he immediately gathered all the members of the War God Pavilion present there, discussing the disaster and the future of the Paradise Realm.

Zhang Fei’s actions left many questions in the hearts of Liang Huizhong and the elders of the Divine Samsara Sect, especially regarding those gates. They wanted to attack him, but they had already seen his close ties with those people. Moreover, Long Xukong was by his side, and the male dragon was far more powerful than them, plus there were still Jian Kuang, Su Shentian, Zhuxian Sheng, and Feng Yao.

After closing the gate, Zhang Fei glanced at the people from the Divine Samsara Sect, but he didn’t care much about them, and he could order Yue Ningxue to stop them if they decided to make a move on him. Then, he approached Jian Kuang, Su Shentian, and Zhuxian Sheng. "What about you three? Are you guys going to stay here or return to our sect?"

"Haha," Jian Kuang laughed. "Although all the rewards here are useless to you and your women, they are still useful to us. Moreover, this is our first time reaching the third floor, so we will stay and face all the challenges."

Su Shentian nodded. "Moreover, all your women are still on the first floor, right? Those people can go down to the second floor, so we will challenge this floor while protecting them."

"I’ll stay here too." Zhuxian Sheng glanced at the people from the Divine Samsara Sect. "You can go and do your business in peace; we will protect them from those people."

Zhang Fei nodded to the three men and opened the gate to the Twin Flames Domain. "You can return to our domain now, and I’ll meet Feng Yao first."

"Alright." Luo Yunxiao, Qing Qiu’er, You Feiling, Helian Xun’er, Nalan Wangzi, Tianshi Shengjie, and Yue Xuelian immediately entered the gate. Zhang Fei immediately went to the second floor after he closed the gate, followed by Long Xukong.

"Ancestor." Yue Ningxue looked at Liang Huizhong. "Can’t you fight them?"

Yue Ningxue shook her head slightly. "You underestimate Zhang Fei, Huizhong. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and his strength is far greater than it appears."

"Are—"

"I’m not joking with you," Yue Ningxue interrupted him. "I’ve fought Zhang Fei before, and I couldn’t beat him then, especially his speed. If the other ancestors were in this tower, we might be able to defeat him and capture him, but unfortunately, they won’t come out if our sect isn’t threatened."

The faces of Liang Huizhong and the elders turned gloomy. except for Yu Shan. Unlike the others, he didn’t want to look for trouble with other people, including Zhang Fei, and he just wanted peace for himself.

Yue Ningxue spoke again. "Besides, you’ve seen for yourself his closeness to Long Wuzhao, Empress Huo, and Dugu Yuanshen, right? Do you think we can fight them? Empress Huo is much stronger than us, and her subordinates are just as strong as the people of our sect, so we will face a serious situation if they attack us. The War God Pavilion has been our rival for a long time, and we have never succeeded in defeating them. The dragon emperor? We never knew his true strength because he never fought seriously; even the four perils and the ten demon gods chose not to have any problems with him, remember?"

Liang Huizhong and the elders were even more depressed upon hearing this because Zhang Fei had done a lot to make the Moonlit Passion Temple as powerful as their sect, and they were worried that another formidable enemy would appear to disrupt their dominance.

"Forget that kid! We’re facing a more serious problem now." They looked at Yue Ningxue, who immediately explained to them about the shadowy creatures. "I heard about those creatures from their conversations, and they must be powerful if they can make Long Wuzhao and the others worry. For now, we must return to our domain as soon as possible, and we must strengthen the defenses in our sect. We don’t know if those creatures can invade this realm, but we must use all means to protect our sect."

"What about the Celestial Moon Sect, Ancestor?" Li Guangyu asked.

"Yue Xuelian has already moved the Celestial Moon Sect to the Twin Flames Domain, and they are under Zhang Fei’s protection now, so we don’t need to think about them and focus on our sect. Once the situation stabilizes in the future, we will think of other ways to fight them." Yue Ningxue immediately stood up from her seat. "Let’s go back to our sect to set up our defenses, and you can let our disciples stay here to continue their challenges."

After that, Yue Ningxue, Liang Huizhong, Li Guangyu, and several other main elders immediately left the tower.

"How are you going to get me to the Ancient Realm?"

Feng Yao created a qi screen and showed Zhang Fei a portal. "The portal’s location is in my Blazing Nirvana Domain, and it connects us to the Blazing Desert Domain. That place is no less hot than my domain, and there’s nothing there but vast desert, so I don’t think those shadowy creatures will invade it."

"Hmm?" Zhang Fei looked at the qi screen with a serious look. "Do you think we can move through the void with Senior Xukong’s abilities?"

"Yes." Feng Yao nodded at him. "Long Xukong should be able to lead us through the void to avoid those shadowy creatures, but we don’t have clear information on their strength and abilities, so we shouldn’t underestimate them."

"I know." Zhang Fei himself never underestimated his enemies, especially those whose strength and abilities were unclear. "Everyone has left this tower, except for my woman and your parents. I think we should leave now, and our main goal is the old fox’s two souls. I don’t know their location, but you should know about them, right?"

"I know." Feng Yao nodded. "Let’s get out of this tower."

They immediately appeared outside the forest area, and Zhang Fei opened the gate to the Blazing Nirvana Domain before bringing everyone there.

Upon arrival at the domain, Feng Yao led them to the portal located deep beneath her palace.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Fei took out the Demon’s Eye Orb and sent it into the domain to ensure there were no shadowy creatures there. "It seems you were right, because those creatures aren’t there, so we should be safe to go there."

Feng Yao looked at Long Xukong. "Once we arrive at the domain, I want you to lead us into the void, and I’ll show you the way to Hu Tianlang’s first soul. However, we must remain cautious as we are uncertain of their abilities, and we must flee immediately if we encounter them."

"I understand," Long Xukong asked her. "Can’t you stop those shadowy creatures with your current strength?"

Feng Yao shook her head. "Those shadowy creatures are different from all living creatures in this universe, so I don’t know if I can face them."

"Let’s go now."
