Tian Shuixiang and Nalan Wangzi chose not to answer Shang Zhui’s questions. "Father, we’ve already talked too much about him, so we won’t say any more. However, I assure you that he should be able to remove it from your soul, but we must wait for him to co out."
"Alright, I understand." However, Shang Zhui asked them again. "Did he co here specifically to train in the Blood Sea?"
"Yes." Tian Shuixiang decided to lie to his father. "I told him about the Blood Sea because he was eager to train there to temper his body."
Shang Zhui nodded slightly. "In that case, I won’t keep you two here, and you can accompany her on a stroll in this Blood War City, Xiuluo."
"Father." Shang Zhui raised an eyebrow at Tian Shuixiang. "It’s not that I want to disown you or disrespect our ancestors, but I prefer to use my current na, Tian Shuixiang."
Shang Zhui let out a soft sigh. "Even though I don’t like it, I will address you as Tian Shuixiang from now on."
"Thank you, Father."
Thereafter, Tian Shuixiang took Nalan Wangzi with her, and the two of them strolled around Blood War City, as they didn’t know how long Zhang Fei would be cultivating in the Blood Sea.
On the other hand, Shang Zhui went to the Asura Palace to et Shang Zhanluo.

"What do you think about that young demon, wife?"
Shang Luohu shook his head at Shang Zhanluo. "I can’t be sure about that young demon, and we still have to investigate him more deeply. However, his killing intent and bloodlust were quite frightening to , and I subconsciously stepped back when he released both. Oddly, the Slaughter Blood Phantom liked him so much that it behaved docilely around him and led him to the bottom of the Blood Sea."
"I also feel strange about that." Shang Zhanluo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the location of the Blood Sea. "I once tried to ta the Slaughter Blood Phantom because my predecessor could do it, but it actually attacked with killing intent even though I was the emperor of our race. Yet, it behaved that way toward that young demon, which confused . Could it be that he has a relationship with our race?"
"I don’t think so, Emperor." Shang Zhanluo and Shang Luohu turned to Shang Zhui, who had just appeared. "His na is Zhang Xiaolong, and he ascended to this realm about five to six years ago."
"Did your son tell you about that? Is the woman with them Ye Zhiye?" Shang Luohu questioned Shang Zhui.
"My son told his na, but the woman with them is not Ye Zhiye. Instead, she is Zhang Xiaolong’s lover, as I can sense his yang Qi within her body." Shang Zhui’s final sentence surprised Shang Zhanluo and Shang Luohu because Zhang Fei’s cultivation was at the Celestial Lord Realm, and Nalan Wangzi’s cultivation was at the Celestial Emperor Realm, making them puzzled by her decision to beco his lover. "By the way, I couldn’t see through her disguise even from close range, and she was unwilling to introduce herself to . She ca here just to accompany him and to take a walk."
"Your son told you sothing else about Zhang Xiaolong, right?" Shang Zhanluo spoke with confidence.
Shang Zhui nodded at Shang Zhanluo before telling them so things about Zhang Fei based on what he heard from Tian Shuixiang and Nalan Wangzi before, but he hid many details from them, such as Nalan Yushu’s return, his relationship with several races, and so other sensitive matters.
Shang Zhanluo and Shang Luohu were utterly shocked when Shang Zhui ntioned Zhang Fei’s status as a god-rank sword master, since he was still too young to have reached that level. "Are you sure about that?"
"Empress, you know my son’s character, and he will never lie to ." Shang Luohu nodded to Shang Zhui. "After my son said that to , I guessed that the Slaughter Blood Phantom behaved like that toward Zhang Xiaolong because of his sword qi. Even though our race was born from blood and war, none of us had walked the sword path, which made the Slaughter Blood Phantom attracted to him. Given his current level of cultivation, he is certainly not a match for us, and he has co here solely to strengthen his body in the Blood Sea. Therefore, I think we don’t need to do anything to him; instead, we can try to build a good relationship with him."
Shang Luohu looked at her husband and spoke to him. "I agree with him, husband. Zhang Xiaolong’s cultivation is indeed too low to be our opponent, so we don’t need to worry too much that he will create chaos in our domain. Furthermore, he is still in his early forties, but he has already beco a god-rank sword master; even the sword maniac, Jian Kuang, can’t do that. Additionally, the Slaughter Blood Phantom likes him, and it might turn against us if we try to do evil things to him."
"Hmm?" Shang Zhanluo frowned, recalling the Slaughter Blood Phantom’s docile behavior toward Zhang Fei. "Alright, I won’t take any action against Zhang Xiaolong at this ti, but I want everyone to monitor him closely. Additionally, I want you to find a way to uncover that female demon’s disguise, and I want to know her identity as soon as possible."
"Yes." Shang Luohu then ordered soone to monitor Nalan Wangzi from a distance.
"Emperor, I’ve obtained important information about Mo Shentian." Shang Zhanluo looked at Shang Zhui with a deeper frown. "He took his third son, Shang Taiqi, to the Ten Thousand Beast Grave Domain three days ago. I heard they were looking for a female beast nad Dong Xuanyin to ask for her help in finding Wu Mian’s real body."
"What’s so special about Dong Xuanyin? Why does Mo Shentian want to look for her?" Shang Zhanluo asked in confusion, as he didn’t have much information about the evil beast races, except for the four perils.
Shang Zhui shook his head in response. "I don’t have clear information on Dong Xuanyin’s abilities, but Mo Shentian seems confident that she can help him. If she manages to find Wu Mian’s true body and hand it over to him, our Asura Demon Race and the other demon races will be in serious trouble, so we must find a way to stop her."
"Hmm?" Shang Zhanluo imdiately took out a device and sent a ssage to soone before giving an order to Shang Zhui. "Send Shang Hongyan and Shang Liang to the Ten Thousand Beast Grave Domain, and an acquaintance of mine from the evil beast races will et them there."
"Yes." Shang Zhui imdiately disappeared from their sight.
Shang Zhanluo also left the place, leaving Shang Luohu behind. However, she doesn’t live there; Instead, she went to the Blood Sea again, as she was curious about Zhang Fei’s activities at the bottom of the sea.

Zhang Fei, who was cultivating at the bottom of the Blood Sea, imdiately opened his eyes when he sensed the movent of the Slaughter Blood Phantom.
"Why are you looking at like this?" The Slaughter Blood Phantom shook his head at Zhang Fei because it was unable to speak. "Are you staying at the bottom here to guard the Asura Demon Bloodline Crystal Essence in this rock?"
The Slaughter Blood Phantom nodded its head, and it used its claws to point to the rock under Zhang fei.
"Can you hand it over to ?" Zhang Fei was disappointed that the Slaughter Blood Phantom rejected his wish. "Do you want to give it to one of the mbers of the Asura Demon Race?"
The Slaughter Blood Phantom nodded its head again.
"Hmm? Will the Asura Demon Bloodline Crystal Essence make an asura demon stronger than the current Asura Demon God?" The Slaughter Blood Phantom nodded again, and Zhang Fei imdiately thought of Tian Shuixiang. "I have an acquaintance who is an asura demon, and he is much better than Shang Zhanluo. What do you think if I bring him here? If you feel that he deserves it, you can hand it over to him."
The Slaughter Blood Phantom didn’t answer Zhang Fei right away, and it thought for quite a long ti.
Zhang Fei sighed softly before trying to convince the Slaughter Blood Phantom. "You don’t know him like I do, so it’s natural to doubt him. However, I assure you that his character is far better than Shang Zhanluo’s, and his talent is also excellent. If he becos stronger than Shang Zhanluo after obtaining that item, he might be able to defeat him in the future and beco the next Asura Demon God. I believe the asura demon race will be more prosperous under his leadership, so I hope you can give him a chance. If you think he is not worthy of getting it, I will send him away directly."
After so thought, the Slaughter Blood Phantom finally agreed to give Tian Shuixiang a chance, much to Zhang Fei’s relief.
Zhang Fei imdiately used his water elent to push the blood around him away, and he opened the portal to the training space afterward, making the Slaughter Blood Phantom curious about it.
The Slaughter Blood Phantom grew even more curious as Zhang Fei [4] walked out from inside, but Zhang Fei imdiately closed the portal. "I’ll go pick up my acquaintance, and my clone will take my place here."
