Tang Qingyan pulled Qiao Yisheng to her side. ’How could he do such a thing, husband?’

’He’s more terrifying than you can imagine, wife. I’ll tell you some things about him, but we have to wait for him to deal with these people first.’ Tang Qingyan nodded to Qiao Yisheng and returned their attention to Zhi Shengyan, waiting for his response to Zhang Fei’s actions.

Zhi Shengyan and Lan Yuerong broke out in cold sweat as soon as countless qi swords appeared in Zhang Fei’s domain, followed by countless golden crow flames.

Despite this, Lan Yuerong still continued to stare at Zhang Fei with hostility, unlike Zhi Shengyan, who had noticed several things about him. ’This sword domain and qi swords clearly indicate that he is a god-rank sword master. But what’s with these golden flames?’

Just as the two were pondering this, Zhang Fei forcefully pulled their souls out of their bodies. Seeing this, Zhi Qingshong and Nie Shuyin wanted to attack him, but Qiao Yisheng and Tang Qingyan moved to stop them. Several members of the Qiao Clan also stepped in to stop Zhi Qian and Zhi Shen, making the atmosphere in the main hall completely tense.

"You two are stronger than me, but you don’t know anything about me. With your weak soul power, you won’t be able to do anything to stop me in my soul domain." Zhi Shengyan and Lan Yuerong were completely shocked once Zhang Fei replicated their souls and merged them with his. He then created two soul swords, sent them into their souls, and returned their souls into their bodies. "Right now, I have complete control over both of your souls, and I can use my soul swords to destroy them whenever I want, so you should think twice about looking for trouble with me. If I know you guys are planning something wicked against me, I will immediately come to your Zhi Clan, and I will eradicate your two clans."

After saying that, Zhang Fei immediately removed his three domains and released Lan Yuerong from his suppression. He looked at Qiao Yisheng and the members of the Qiao Clan and cupped his hands. "Please forgive me for causing commotion in your clan, Seniors. I’d like to stay longer, but I don’t want your clan to get into trouble because of me, so I’ll take my wife and disciples with me now."

"Don’t worry, kid." Qiao Yisheng threw a plaque to Zhang Fei. "If you need treatment from us, you can bring anyone here, and I will treat them for you."

"Thank you, Senior." Thereafter, Zhang Fei took Luo Yunxiao, Fei Yinglin, and You Shiyan to disappear from the Qiao Clan.

"So fast!" Qiao Yisheng and others exclaimed in shock.

Zhi Qingshong and Nie Shuyin immediately helped Zhi Shengyan and Lan Yuerong up, and the four of them hurriedly left the Qiao Clan.

Zhi Qian released a heavy sigh. "I didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this, Brother Yisheng."

"I really didn’t want it to happen, but the relationship between our Qiao and Zhi clans seems to be getting worse, Brother Yisheng," Zhi Shen also spoke.

"Haha." Qiao Yisheng laughed at that. "If your mother hadn’t acted like that, the situation wouldn’t have turned out like this, right? She didn’t know anything about that kid, but she acted arrogantly by trying to suppress him first, and she had to bear the consequences of her arrogance."

"Lan Yuerong is the most arrogant woman I have ever met, and she can only blame herself for their situation." Luo Lianjin spoke with a shake of his head. "Your brother and sister-in-law have already informed her about several things regarding Zhang Fei, and I have also warned her not to behave that way, yet she foolishly did it anyway. I don’t know what your grandparents will do in this matter, but if you two are smart, then you should not interfere in their problems, even though you are members of the Zhi Clan."

Zhi Qian and Zhi Shen looked at Luo Lianjin. "What—"

"You two have already witnessed Zhang Fei’s abilities, and you should have been able to detect his cultivation just now." Zhi Qian and Zhi Shen nodded to Luo Lianjin. "The strength he displayed just now was indeed borrowed, but it was still his, and his strength surpassed your grandparents and the others. Even if Empress Huo and the others don’t help him, he can still defeat them and destroy your Zhi Clan. If that happens, you guys only have two choices: leave them or sink with them."

Zhi Qian and Zhi Shen did not say anything to Luo Lianjin, and both of them said goodbye to the Qiao Clan people before leaving the clan to return to the Zhi Clan.

Luo Lianjin and Xuan Yun were the same; they immediately said goodbye to the Qiao Clan people before leaving for the Heavenlight Main Domain.

After ahey all left, an old man and an old woman appeared inside the main hall. "What do you think of Zhang Fei, Yisheng?"

"Grandpa Tianze, do we need to think about it any further?" Qiao Yisheng turned the question around. "No matter what happens, we must be on Zhang Fei’s side, even if the Zhi Clan will be hostile to us."

Qiao Tianze nodded in agreement with Qiao Yisheng, but then the old woman spoke to him. "Tell us what you know about Zhang Fei, Yisheng."

"Yes, Grandma Wu Xinlan." Qiao Yisheng immediately explained to them some of the things Zhang Fei had told her before, especially regarding his relationship with Long Wuzhao, Long Xukong, and Tianshi Bailong.

However, Qiao Yisheng didn’t mention the nine evil beasts, as they were Zhang Fei’s hidden secret. If people knew about their existence by his side, it would only bring trouble for him, and he also didn’t tell them about his identity as a dragon.

Qiao Tianze and Wu Xinlan could see that Qiao Yisheng was still hiding some things about Zhang Fei from them, but they were old and experienced cultivators, and they were quite familiar with the situation in the cultivation world. They didn’t press him for further details, and they immediately made a decision. "In that case, we will follow your plan, and we will be on that kid’s side no matter what happens. If the Zhi Clan becomes hostile and wants to fight us, we don’t need to follow their madness, and we just need to leave this domain."

"Grandpa, I’m thinking about going to the Moonlit Passion Temple." Qiao Tianze raised an eyebrow at Qiao Yisheng. "That sect is no longer a dual cultivation sect, and Zhang Fei has rebuilt it as a universal sect. Additionally, he has many people who are experts in several fields there, so I want to see the situation there with my own eyes."

Qiao Tianze nodded in understanding. "Alright, you can go to that sect, and you can tell us everything you saw there later. If the sect has become much better than in the past, we will make another decision regarding our relationship with Zhang Fei."

"Yes, Grandpa." After Qiao Tianze and Wu Xinlan disappeared, Qiao Yisheng immediately took Tang Qingyan back to their room, where he distributed to her the pills Zhang Fei had given him earlier.

"What effect do all these pills have, Husband?" Tang Qingyan asked while looking at the pills in her palms.

"Zhang Fei didn’t explain their effects to me in detail, but I believe they aren’t poisonous, so you don’t need to worry about that." Qiao Yisheng then pointed to the two pills on Tang Qingyan’s palm. "I’m most curious about these two pills because they are different from the rest, so we should try swallowing them now."

"Which one first?"

"The white one first."

"Alright."

Qiao Yisheng and Tang Qingyan began to swallow one of the pills first, the Beauty Restoring Pill. They were surprised when the black liquid began to appear in their bodies, but they cleared it away until it no longer emerged. After that, they swallowed the last pill, the Youthful Retaining Pill.

Thereafter, they walked in front of the mirror to check their changes, but they fell into a daze when they saw their reflections.

Tang Qingyan began to touch her face as she was stunned. "Husband, this... how could this happen? Not only our faces but also our bodies have been rejuvenated. Look at us now; our faces have become so young, like when we first met."

"As expected, that kid is really scary." Qiao Yisheng answered while continuing to stare at his reflection. "There are so many god-rank alchemists in this realm, but I have never heard of any of them possessing such pills. If they had them, they would have sold them long ago, and they would have made a lot of fortune from them."

Tang Qingyan agreed with her husband. "I think we should hide our new appearance, including from our two families."

"Yes." Qiao Yisheng pulled Tang Qingyan to the bed. "Let’s swallow the rest of the pills."

"Alright."

.

At the Zhi Clan, Zhi Shengyan and Lan Yuerong vented their anger over Zhang Fei’s previous treatment by smashing many things in their room.

Seeing their parents so enraged, Zhi Qingshong and Nie Shuyin chose to keep their mouths shut and wait for them to calm down.

However, the commotion they caused attracted the attention of others, and an old man immediately appeared in the room. "What are you two doing? Why are you guys acting childish like this?"
