Chapter 1667: The Legend about Mountain Ruins

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

"Where…where did you get these things from?" Ji Yuelan stammered as she looked at Zhang Tie after a few seconds of silence.

"Star Emperor Immortal Palace used these things to acquire Zi Clan Castle. I read this information from the brains of the young master of Zi clan in Heavenly Square Building. That day, after killing those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace in Zi Clan Castle, we found it inconvenient to take them back due to their weight. Therefore, I had Liu Yong and Liu Meng transfer them to a pond inside Zi Clan Castle. As space-teleportation equipment is available today, Liu Yong and Liu Meng have got them back!"

Zhang Tie said as he stroked his nose. The contents of his words were partly true. In fact, Zhang Tie saw these element crystals by his lotus flower eyes instead of from the brains of the young master of Zi clan. At that time, these boxes were put in a back room of Zi Clan Castle. After seeing them, Zhang Tie had Liu brothers move them into the pond. However, nobody doubted it because it sounded reasonable. If Zhang Tie told them the truth, they might be shocked.

"No wonder you visited young brother's room in the early morning like thieves…" Ji Yuelan understood it at once.

After clapping his hands to arouse their attention, Zhang Tie took out two space-teleportation finger rings. Then, he took out a lot of items from one of the two finger rings which included vials of pills and a long sword which was a silver secret item, saying, "Besides the eight boxes of element crystals, we've gained three space-teleportation finger rings, a nice long sword and some nice vials of pills. As for the other smaller ones, I would not take them out. Let's share them…"

"You want to share them with us?" Jiang Ruoxin asked as she took a deep glance at Zhang Tie.

"You bet. These are our booties. Of course, we got to share them…" Zhang Tie smirked.

Jiang Ruoxin then shook her head as she threw a glance at those element crystals and the three space-teleportation finger rings, saying, "You found these things. As I've not spared any efforts on it, I'd better not share them with you…"

"Alas, I see. You're afraid of being involved in this case. No matter what, these things belong to Star Emperor Immortal palace. Suppose Star Emperor Immortal Palace dispatch people here for us…" Zhang Tie sighed as Liu brothers moved their eyes on Jiang Ruoxin at the same time, making the atmosphere in the room weird at a stroke.

"I don't mean it; I just…" Jiang Ruoxin hurriedly explained.

"If you want to share our booties, stay here; if you're afraid of being involved, you have the freedom to leave. The door is over there. I'm not gonna force others to share the risk with us. Trust me, if Star Emperor Immortal Palace got to us, I would keep the secret for you…"

Jiang Ruoxin became hesitant for a second. After taking a glimpse at Ji Yuelan, she sighed and stayed in the room quietly.

The atmosphere in the room finally recovered. Zhang Tie then revealed a smile as if he had made a successful trick. Clapping his hands, he said, "That's got to be you. We should share booties and risks together!"

Jiang Ruoxin threw a glare at Zhang Tie.

"How do you want to share these things?" Zhang Tie asked them.

"Ha, these things are all discovered by you. We brothers just went errands for you. We take your order!" Liu Meng said as he hardly moved his eyes away from the element crystals, sucking his saliva. Although Liu brothers were otherworldly, they were not greedy either. They would be satisfied if Zhang Tie distributed hundreds of element crystals to them. To be honest, the two brothers didn't spare too many efforts in Zi Clan Castle besides killing some b*stards and guards. They were already thrilled after knowing that Zhang Tie would share booties with them.

"I agree. I will take your order…" Ji Yuelan said as she watched Zhang Tie with a curious look. Compared to Liu brothers, Ji Yuelan was more interested in Zhang Tie's way of distribution than how many element crystals could she get.

"Well, I will make a decision then!" Zhang Tie said as he picked the middle one among the three finger rings, which looked a bit more senior and had larger space than the others. This space-teleportation finger ring belonged to that shadow knight also the water immortal general of Star Emperor Immortal Palace whom Zhang Tie had killed. "This space-teleportation finger ring, this long sword and this box of water element crystals belong to me!"

When he spoke, Zhang Tie directly put the long sword and one box of water element crystals into the finger ring.

After that, Zhang Tie threw one space-teleportation finger ring to Liu Yong, saying, "This finger ring and the four boxes of earth element crystals belong to you brothers. You could share them!" Zhang Tie then threw another space-teleportation finger ring to Ji Yuelan, saying, "This finger ring, two boxes of earth element crystals and one box of water element crystals belong to you and Jiang Ruoxin. You will share them…"

In Motian Realm, two earth element crystals could be exchanged for one water element crystals. After taking away his share, Zhang Tie distributed the rest into two pieces, one for Liu brothers, the other for Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan. As the space-teleportation finger ring could barely be shared, Zhang Tie had them tackle it themselves.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had shared the booties with them. After that, he found that the four people stayed still and watched him, he then shrugged and said, "What? Don't you like it?"

"Do…do you want to give this space-teleportation finger ring…and the four boxes of earth element crystals to us…" Liu Meng stammered as he watched Zhang Tie in an unbelievable way.

"Not enough?"

"Enough…enough…" Liu Meng flushed as he hurriedly wove his arm, adding, "It's…it's too much; too much…"

"Ha, forgot about it! If a mountain of element crystals are in front of you, you would be scared to death!" Zhang Tie forcefully slapped Liu Meng's shoulder, adding, "Well, move…"

After exchanging a glance with each other, Liu brothers directly put the four boxes of earth element crystals into the space-teleportation finger ring.

"Erm, I really wonder what kind of life you had when you didn't lose your memory. How could you dispose of so many element crystals in such a way? Did you get out of Mountain Ruins and lose your memory there…" Ji Yuelan sighed as she put three boxes of element crystals into the space-teleportation finger ring.

The term Mountain Ruins made Zhang Tie thrilled as he scratched his head, asking, "Oh, I really wonder what the hell is Mountain Ruins. It seems that only Mountain Ruins have element crystals across the Motian Realm. Additionally, it's said that most powerful humans and demons would have a duel in Mountain Ruins in every 360 years; but why?"

"Mountain Ruins is the most mysterious and dangerous place in Motian Realm. According to the legends, Mountain Ruins is the largest battlefield of humans and demons." Jiang Ruoxin answered, "Across Motian Realm, only Mountain Ruins have element crystals. Those who're able to enter Mountain Ruins are at least wind immortal generals. It's said that wind immortal generals could only reach the periphery of Mountain Ruins after penetrating through the Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer. However, element crystals only exist inside the Mountain Ruins, where only supreme immortal generals and immortal emperors could access to. Therefore, all the element crystals across the Motian Realm are basically monopolized by immortal palaces. The mandatory requirement for a person to establish an immortal palace is that he could gain element crystals from inside Mountain Ruins and provide them to immortal generals. Without element crystals, they could not attract immortal generals at all; not to mention establishing an immortal palace. Besides element crystals, there are many dangerous and mysterious places inside Mountain Ruins that are said to have countless treasures such as our space-teleportation finger rings and various immortal equipment for senior immortal generals. Immortal generals above wind immortal general would scramble for them at the risk of their lives…"

"The secret method for a supreme immortal general to promote to an immortal emperor is right in a secret place in the core of Mountain Ruins. That core region would open in every 360 years. Therefore, whenever that region opens, the most powerful humans and demons would rush over there and scramble for it in the Mountain Ruins. The core region of Mountain Ruins is the fiercest battlefield in Motian Realm." Ji Yuelan added.

'The secret method for a supreme immortal general to promote to an immortal emperor is right in the core region of Mountain Ruins?' Zhang Tie was shocked by this news. If this news was spread over Taixia Country, those sage-level knights would try every method they could to get to Motian Realm for the secret method to promote to an immortal emperor in Mountain Ruins.

"How long before Mountain Ruins reopens?" Zhang Tie asked.

"About 10 years or so. Therefore, Motian Realm is not safe recently as humans and demons are all longing for the secret method and the treasures inside Mountain Ruins!"

"Erm…immortal equipment is… Such as the long sword and the space-teleportation finger ring in your hands!" Ji Yuelan replied as she blinked her eyes towards Zhang Tie, "However, despite that long sword and the space-teleportation finger ring are rarities, they're common items in immortal equipment. They should be middle-class humanly immortal equipment. Above humanly immortal equipment, there're earthly immortal equipment and heavenly immortal equipment. Those wind immortal generals are going to Mountain Ruins for earthly immortal equipment!"

'Humanly immortal equipment got to be silver secret items while earthly and heavenly immortal equipment got to be golden secret items such as Heavens Ruler or immortal secret items such as Castle of Black Iron. Christ! A heavenly knight gets to have golden secret items in Mountain Ruins. Isn't Mountain Ruins full of treasures? Motian Realm is really such an endless treasure bank…'

When Zhang Tie recalled the hardships that he suffered from Heavens Ruler, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Chapter 1668: The Powerful Fruit

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

After sharing booties and getting some information about Mountain Ruins from Liu brothers, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin, Zhang Tie gained a lot. Although Zhang Tie wanted to learn more about Motian Realm, Liu brothers who couldn't wait to count their bonus back in their rooms. Therefore, they bade a farewell to Zhang Tie. Watching the two brothers leaving, the two women also felt inconvenient in Zhang Tie's room. Even Ji Yuelan didn't feel like leaving there, she still left after Liu brothers in case of gossips.

Zhang Tie walked the four people out.

"If I insisted on leaving just now, what would you do?"

Jiang Ruoxin who had left Zhang Tie's room suddenly turned around and asked Zhang Tie secretly.

"Humph humph…" Zhang Tie sneered as he disguised to be vicious and replied secretly, "As you've already got on the ship with us, it's not up to you. As an insider, it is not that easy to let it go on the halfway. In case of trouble from Star Emperor Immortal Palace, I could only clear the witness!"

"Clear the witness?"

"Hmm, of course!" Zhang Tie said as he looked Jiang Ruoxin up and down, making her pretty uncomfortable. After that, Zhang Tie stroked his jaw, adding, "Heh heh, but it's a bit pitiful clearing such a beauty. According to regular rules, of course, I get to do something to you; then something else…"

"Bullsh*t!" Jiang Ruoxin threw a glare at Zhang Tie as she flushed.

"What are you talking about?" Ji Yuelan looked at Zhang Tie and Jiang Ruoxin out of suspicion when she noticed Jiang Ruoxin glaring at Zhang Tie with an abnormal expression. Liu brothers also turned around, making Jiang Ruoxin flush more heavily.

"Ahem ahem, nothing. We're discussing a very abstruse question…" Zhang Tie said solemnly.

"Really?" Ji Yuelan continued skeptically.

"Of course, it's an everlasting topic about men and women, trust and betray, survival and destruction, pleasure and pain, separation and integration!"

"Bullsh*t. How could you talk so much only in such a short period of time?"

"It's my precise conclusion. If you don't believe in me, you got to ask her…"

Jian Ruoxin remained silent while her face turned warmer. She then pulled Ji Yuelan away.

Only Liu brothers were still looking at Zhang Tie with worships. The two brothers didn't understand Zhang Tie's words; however, it didn't hinder their admiration for Zhang Tie. Now, especially after sharing booties, the two brothers felt Zhang Tie's words were always reasonable no matter what they were…

"Well, quick, I know you guys can't wait to pour out all the items and count them…" Zhang Tie wove his arm towards Liu brothers, driving them away.

Watching the four people leaving, Zhang Tie smiled as he closed his door. Then, he rotated the metal button beside the door from inside. As a result, a special mark appeared above the door outside, which indicated that the owner inside the room was in cultivation. Unless an emergency, nobody would disturb him anymore. This function was exclusive to rooms of immortal generals inside the immortal palace, which was like the board "In service" outside the door of rooms in hotels in subcontinents in the world where Zhang Tie came from. As long as this board was displayed, nobody would disturb him.

After sharing booties, Zhang Tie would focus on taking fruits, which counted most for him for the time being!

Before Liu brothers got back, Zhang Tie had already taken some fruits of redemption; however, he had not eaten the two most important fruits yet. It was not because Zhang Tie didn't want to eat them, but he was not allowed to digest the fruit of brilliance or fruit of bloodline in such a short time. The more important and powerful the fruits were, the longer it would take him to digest them completely. He couldn't finish them in only a couple of hours. If he couldn't digest them well, he might waste their energy and effects partly. Therefore, Zhang Tie put the work to the end.

Of course, Zhang Tie gained a lot from sharing the booties. Although those element crystals and space-teleportation equipment could improve his battle strength, they could help Zhang Tie stabilize his position in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Motian Realm rapidly. At least, he would not feel alone with some friends and assistants. He was paying for righteousness.

Although Zhang Tie didn't mean to pay any trick, now that Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan raided Zi Clan Castle and shared the booties of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, of course, they were in the same boat with Zhang Tie. As a result, their relationship became much closer than before.

As they had killed people and shared booties together, how couldn't their relationship be closer? Additionally, Zhang Tie's generous deed and sense of responsibility impressed the four people a lot and let them feel reliable.

Zhang Tie got back to his bed, legs crossed and entering Castle of Black Iron.

Zhang Tie immediately appeared under the small tree as he picked the splendent fruit of brilliance.

'I wonder how much spiritual energy does this fruit of the sage-level knight contain?' viewing the fruit in hand, Zhang Tie asked such a question inside.

After watching it for a short while, Zhang Tie burst into laughter as he widely opened his mouth. It took him three mouths to engulf the fruit of brilliance.

It was the most powerful one among all the fruits of brilliance that he had taken. This fruit contained all the spiritual energy of a sage-level human knight, the quantity and quality of which could never be matched by those in the previous fruits of brilliance and was out of Zhang Tie's imagination.

Soon after the fruit of brilliance entered his stomach, it had released its strength, making Zhang Tie change his face in a split second.

Zhang Tie felt like taking an erupting volcano instead of a fruit as the prodigious spiritual energy rushed all the way to his scalp, shocking his entire mind sea…

Chapter 1669: The Inaugural Ceremony

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Two days later, on March 3rd, the 3584th year of Emperor Nvwa Calendar of Motian Realm, in the main hall of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City…

Today, the entire branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace looked pretty solemn. It had been furnished again all over. Soon after 9 am, deacons in black ceremonial robes and immortal soldiers in bright outfits had stood well in rows in the main hall. In the long horns that drifted across Heavenly Square City outside the main hall, Huang Baimei and Leng Manxue entered the main hall with those immortal generals who were ready to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. The inaugural ceremony for immortal generals through the bloody pledge was going to be held here officially today.

7 people were following Huang Baimei and Leng Manxue, who were respectively Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin, Ji Yuelan and the three strangers that Zhang Tie saw in the dining hall a couple of days ago. Each of the seven people was in a uniformed long robe and looked pretty serious and decent. They slowly followed the head and the general deacon towards the general altar under the statue of Dragon Emperor and the gaze of the other deacons and immortal soldiers.

At least, they were superficial. In fact, since they entered the main hall, Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan had started to murmur secretly using battle qi. Although they closed their mouths superficially with serious looks, they could still communicate with each other freely.

"Where's Zhang Tie?" Ji Yuelan asked Liu brothers.

"He's not here yet. I went to see him this morning. Like yesterday, he was cultivating in his room!" Liu Meng answered right away.

"What the hell! He's indeed indolent…" Ji Yuelan mumbled. Only after two days of separation, Ji Yuelan had got bored.

"He's not indolent. If Zhang Tie did nothing and still got such a great battle strength, I would lose my confidence to further cultivate and doubt what I was doing over these years…" Jiang Ruoxin sighed, "These days, watching him enter closed cultivation in his room without even taking any food, I become composed as I find I'm not too stupid. I've gained some confidence. You reap what you sow. Powerful ones got to be more hard-working than others!"

"Yes, we brothers also think so. I got to say, we felt a bit scared when we saw Zhang Tie's performance a couple of days ago; we felt he was fake. However, after watching him work so hard these days, we feel him becoming a real person…" Liu Yong opened his mouth.

After sharing booties with Zhang Tie, Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan became a bit closer to each other as they won more trust mutually. Therefore, they didn't have too many concerns when talking. Gradually, they had formed a small group in the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City.

"With the connivance of Head, how could Zhang Tie not be allowed to join such an official occasion? Although we've already completed the bloody pledge a few days ago, we got to keep the other three company today…"

"Perhaps Head just hopes that Zhang Tie doesn't show up too many times. As for us, Head just wanted to ensure that we were going to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace a few days ago. Strictly, this ceremony is also not unnecessary. After all, our titles in the branch have not been fixed except for that of Zhang Tie. General deacon has told us what happened in Heavens Square Building and Zi Clan Castle that day was classified in the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City. We should not expose it to the public; even the others in the immortal palace. We came over here to make it more secret…"

As they communicated with each other secretly, head and general deacon had already taken them to the location below the general altar.

After burning incenses, bowing and reading tributes to the statue, Huang Baimei in a serious hairstyle and violet golden crown turned around and watched them with a pretty solemn look.

"These days, Heavenly Square City saw a great accident. Zi clan was exterminated. Those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace were also killed in Heavenly Square City. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is mired in the swirl. No more people would like to join our branch these days. Therefore, the inaugural ceremony is held two days in advance so as to make you reassured…"

After hearing the head's words, Liu brothers, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin felt strange as they exchanged a glance with each other. None of the immortal generals were idiots. As Heavenly Square City was chaotic recently; especially after those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace were killed by Zhang Tie, many people were speculating how would Star Emperor Immortal Palace take revenge on the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City. Therefore, nobody came over here for a job anymore in case of trouble. That also explained why only a few immortal generals attended the inaugural ceremony today.

However, Zhang Tie alone was even more useful than dozens of common immortal generals. Therefore, Head Huang still remained composed when he talked. Because Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace didn't suffer a loss in this trade.

"Before the inaugural ceremony, you could think about it twice. If you want to exit, you could leave now. I would not force you to do that. However, as long as you join us, you got to follow the rules in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Within 100 years, if anyone dares exit, you would be treated as traitors and chased wherever you're. You would not find a safe place in Motian Realm!" Huang Baimei said as he looked around them seriously, asking, "Have you made your decision?"

"I've made my decision. I would not regret joining Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!"

The one who opened his mouth was the youth in white garment that Zhang Tie saw in the dining hall of the branch a couple of days ago. Today, he was in black garment and looked as handsome as before. As he said, he took a look at Jiang Ruoxin on his side. Jiang Ruoxin and this young man were both earth immortal generals who were more powerful than the other five.

"I've made a decision. I would like to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!" Jiang Ruoxin said calmly and decently.

"Mee too…"

"Count me…"

"We brothers would like to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…"

All seven people expressed their attitudes.

"Fine, now that you've all determined to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, we're a family from today on. You would share felicity and troubles with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…" Head Huang declared as he turned around and removing a black cover over the general altar, exposing that 1.5 cm-long transparent crystal dragon, saying, "Those who want to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace please drop you blood on its head to complete this bloody pledge and become an official member of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…"

The seven people then moved forward and accomplished the bloody pledge by turns.

Although it was their second time to do that, the four people accomplished it successfully without any side effect just like how they did the last time.

During this process, the four people finally knew that handsome young man was called Zhou Baifei, the tough bald guy was called Lu Tianqiang while the old teacher was called Xun Zizhou.

Since they met him in the dining hall, Zhou Baifei had been absent these couple of days. The other two were also frantic cultivators who kept cultivating in their rooms last day. As a result, the four people didn't have a chance to contact them until now.

Watching them finish the bloody pledge, Head Huang nodded, saying, "In the next, let's declare your titles in the immortal palace…"

"Zhou Baifei!"

"I'm here!" the handsome young man strode one step out as he answered in a muffled voice.

"You're appointed as the general priest of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, with class VI silver dragon pattern as your title rank!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhou Baifei replied calmly. After making a hand gesture out of respect, he moved one step backward.

"Jiang Ruoxin…"

"I'm here!"

"You're appointed as the intelligence of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with class V silver dragon pattern as your title rank!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Lu Tianqiang!"

"I'm here!"

"You're appointed as the military commander of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City; you're in charge of all the immortal soldiers and guards of the branch, with class III silver dragon pattern as the title rank!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ji Yuelan!"

"I'm here!"

"You're appointed as general inspector of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with class III silver dragon pattern as the title rank!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Liu Yong, Liu Qiang!"

After hearing their names, Liu brothers hurriedly moved one step forward, saying, "We're here!"

"You're respectively appointed as the two judges of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with class II silver dragon pattern as the title rank!"

"Yes, sir…"

"Xun Zizhou!"

"I'm here!"

"You're appointed as the librarian of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with class II silver dragon pattern as the title rank!"

"Yes, sir!"

Only after a short while, all the seven people had been granted with titles and ranks in the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City.

"After joining the immortal palace, within three years, each of you would get 10 element crystals per month; namely 10 earth element crystals for fierce immortal generals and 10 water element crystals for earth immortal generals. Three years later, your compensation would be distributed according to your titles and ranks. In addition, 10 years later, you would be qualified to access to the Classics Pavilion and the Secret Palace of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and enjoy numerous resources over there. Although Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace faces troubles for the time being, we could tackle them. Hopefully, we could unite with each other and help each other and push Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to its apex in 100 years so as to live up to our expectation!" Huang Baimei encouraged all of them.

"Yes, sir!"

"If you have any questions about Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, you could ask me now…" Huang Baimei's tone turned mild at a stroke after the inaugural ceremony.

The others exchanged a glance with each other quietly. Only Zhou Baifei strode one step forward as he asked, "Head, I saw a young man in the immortal palace a few days ago. He's already Class VII like the deputy head. I wonder whether he's also a member of our immortal palace. I always admire talents and would like to learn from him…"

"He's Zhang Tie, the deputy head of our branch. As he's in cultivation, I allow him to not participate in this ceremony. You got to get closer…"

"Oh…" Zhou Baifeng replied as a shrewd light flashed across his eyes. Closely after that, he moved backward…

…

As they were gathering in the main hall, they didn't know that Zhang Tie was suffering a complete change in the void above his mind sea at the critical moment…

Chapter 1670: Breaking the Void

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Zhang Tie was immersed in the great spiritual energy brought by that fruit of brilliance; as a result, he couldn't attend the inaugural ceremony. Since he took the fruit, he had been involved in the storm and shock brought by enormous spiritual energy contained in the fruit…

If people didn't eat food, they would die; conversely, if people ate too much, they would also die. Similarly, people would die if they didn't take a breath; conversely, people would be intoxicated if they inhaled too much oxygen. After consuming so much spiritual energy in such a short period of time, Zhang Tie couldn't adapt to it as he was almost submerged by the suddenly surging spiritual energy.

Heavenly Hunyuan might not be the most powerful sage-level knight in Taixia Country; however, undoubtedly, as a head of top six sects, he was absolutely a human powerhouse.

Sage-level knights were a top existence among knights. An experienced sage-level knight's spiritual energy was essentially different than that of heavenly knights such as Han Zhengfang in quality and quantity, not to mention the others below heavenly knight.

Although Zhang Tie didn't know the realm of sage-level knight, he knew that the strength of a sage-level knight's realm was closely related to the strength of his spiritual energy. He could imagine the great strength of a sage-level knight's spiritual energy which rooted for the latter's sage-level realm.

Since he took the fruit of brilliance, Zhang Tie had lost his feeling about time as all of his senses had been occupied by the spiritual energy of the fruit.

The unexpected prodigious spiritual energy erupted in the space of Zhang Tie's mind sea like a volcanic eruption and integrated with Zhang Tie's own. The entire space of Zhang Tie's mind sea was rocking like experiencing a Magnitude Nine earthquake on the Richter scale in the storm, shocking each cell of Zhang Tie all over and making his qi and blood boil like flying dragons. On this occasion, besides absorbing spiritual energy, Zhang Tie was also trying every means to slow down the release of the spiritual energy from the fruit.

Previously, Zhang Tie took fruits of brilliance freely. However, this time, when Zhang Tie tried to control the release speed of the spiritual energy of the fruit of brilliance, he realized it was pretty difficult. Even though Zhang Tie could control each organ, each muscle and each cell, he still couldn't make it as the spiritual energy of the fruit of brilliance started to present its own state and change after being taken. Even though Zhang Tie tried every effort he could, he could only reduce the release speed of spiritual energy by one-third even if he had shrunk the contact area between his stomach and the fluid of the fruit.

Zhang Tie wanted this process to go through a bit slower and smoother; however, he found it was almost impossible. Sand beach and rocks could buffer sea waves; however, when a terrifying tsunami surged over, its power could still be intolerant even though sand beach and rocks could work to a certain degree.

With the surging spiritual energy, the stars in the void above his mind sea started to illuminate one after another. Zhang Tie could feel that all the stars in the void were gradually lit one by one from over 100 bright stars at the beginning to 360 stars in the end. As a result, the entire void above his mind sea became star-studded and extremely brilliant.

If this scene was presented to the public, it would be absolutely fascinating. Any women who saw it would scream.

Zhang Tie wanted to scream too; however, it was not because of excitement. After lighting up all the 360 stars, Zhang Tie felt that his brains were going to burst. A tin could only contain 0.5 kg sardines; but if 2.5 kg sardines were foisted into it, of course, it would burst. Therefore, the entire space of mind sea became so swollen that it was going to burst.

Even so, the spiritual energy was still constantly surging into the space of Zhang Tie's mind sea like a tsunami.

Meanwhile, the two bright moons in the void above his mind sea started to absorb spiritual energy as they gradually turned brighter and bigger while giving out splendent light, which reflected with the stars over the void. As a result, the entire space of Zhang Tie's mind sea turned as bright as daytime. Like a sacred church, the entire space of his mind sea was filled with golden light.

As the two bright moons grew larger and larger like swollen balloons, Zhang Tie felt his mind sea more and more crowded as if it was going to explode.

When the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was holding an inaugural ceremony, Zhang Tie's two bright moons had reached their limits in scale; Zhang Tie reached his limit in pain too. The changes of the two bright moons caused Zhang Tie's right and left brains to expand at the same time, one like fire, the other like ice. The pain was absolutely out of one's imagination…

In a split second, Zhang Tie was afraid that his brain would suddenly explode from inside like a rotten watermelon.

The spiritual energy of the fruit of brilliance was still pouring in the space of his mind sea constantly as if it would never come to an end. However, the space of Zhang Tie's mind sea had been extremely limited. The two moons were still growing larger and brighter as if they wanted to come out of his head…

'No, no. I have to stop them.'

All of a sudden, a light flashed by. Even Zhang Tie didn't know why he suddenly had such strong intuition and aspiration and instinct for taking an action. Zhang Tie immediately realized that the two bright moons were as vacant as sponge and ores which were not quenched yet. If he didn't want his brains to explode, he had to compress and quench the two moons by turning them smaller and integrating them into one.

'Break…'

With a boom, the entire space started to rock. Zhang Tie gathered his full spiritual energy and strong will and struck against the expanding bright moons like triggering a strike of the divine dominator.

The moons rocked a second; however, they continued to expand by absorbing the spiritual energy.

'Break…'

'Break…'

'Break…'

Zhang Tie gritted his teeth as he used his full efforts to strike against the two bright moons. In a second, he launched strikes which were hundreds of times powerful while the loud sounds resonated the entire space of mind sea…

The invisible battle in the space of his mind sea could absolutely match the duel between him as a divine dominator and a top powerhouse. The two expanding moons brought Zhang Tie sharp pains. Meanwhile, the endless, surging spiritual energy brought by the swollen moons granted Zhang Tie with great energy and power. As a result, his invisible strikes were growing more and more destructive.

It sounded a bit weird but Zhang Tie was tackling a strength using the same strength.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

Finally, the moment the two splendent moons contacted each other like two swollen balloons, they had faced Zhang Tie's most powerful strike as the entire void above Zhang Tie's mind sea became still in the split second.

Boom…

The entire void above his mind sea turned white while breaking apart…

Chapter 1671: Turning Real

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

In the white and the debris of his space of mind sea, Zhang Tie's consciousness became void and paused in the split second…

The period of time appeared to be both short and long. The entire space of his mind sea seemed to have broken apart and disappeared while the two moons, stars, the All-spirits Tower, the marvelous arch door and those immortal runes in the space of his mind sea were contracting and collapsing limitlessly inwards. When everything in the space of his mind sea contracted onto an infinite, small point, time stopped running.

After a while, the infinite, small point exploded in a split second. At the same time, Zhang Tie recovered his consciousness.

Numerous rotating galaxies and stars appeared in the explosion when the entire space of Zhang Tie's mind sea became over 10 times larger than before.

360 huge, splendent stars appeared one after another.

The two large rotating galaxies contracted and turned into two bright moons. After that, the two bright moons collided with each other and turned into a bigger brilliant moon with a dazzling light.

The arch door of Castle of Black Iron reappeared right above the bright moon. However, it became completely golden.

The All-spirits Tower reappeared in the bright moon like the Guanghan Moon Palace in Hua legend.

Numerous immortal runes reappeared in the watery brilliance like musical notes and spirits on the staff. They danced with light. When the moonlight penetrated through those immortal runes, a bizarre, ethereal piece of music sounded in the moon palace while a breeze blew over the entire space of his mind sea as fast as light…

When the bright moon came into being, Zhang Tie's body also saw some changes, which made Zhang Tie so comfortable that he almost hummed. Because he felt that a mysterious pass between his left brain and his right brain disappeared at this moment while ice and fire integrated with each other before turning as harmonious and tranquil as water. The extreme pain brought by the conflict between ice and fire instantly turned into a cool sense all over his body as if he had become an immortal being.

To tell the truth, this pleasure was even one hundred times greater than that in making love as it made each cell and pore of Zhang Tie thrilled, even in the marrows and the depth of his soul.

The appearance of galaxies and the moon completely stabilized the new space of his mind sea. After that, the rotating galaxies and stars continued to collide with each other, giving out colorful splendent light. In this process, those galaxies and stars turned into the firmest debris and foundation as they gradually integrated with each other into a lofty, firm mountain as high as 300,000 m which was as transparent as crystals and rubies.

A mysterious, looming flame was burning inside the crystal, firm mountain, reflecting a mysterious glow over the mountain.

The moment the brilliant moonlight and starlight cast onto the firm mountain, they had turned into snowflakes and capped the mountain, turning the entire mountain into a snow mountain.

As white snow gradually fell, a part of the top of the mountain turned snow-white. After the snow line extended almost 30,000 m downwards, the mysterious, looming light inside the mountain gradually stabilized. From then on, the white snow started to melt, forming numerous waterfalls and brooks.

The snow water at the bottom of the mountain turned golden.

Numerous water drops and flows started to converge in his space of mind sea. Right at the foot of the mountain, numerous rivers converged into a huge lake.

When everything came to an end, the void of Zhang Tie's mind sea had completely changed.

Zhang Tie was dumbfounded by the changes over there.

To be honest, Zhang Tie didn't know the reason until now. He only knew that his spiritual energy had experienced an utter change.

Previously, although Zhang Tie's spiritual energy was powerful, it was always untouchable. He could only sense it. Even though he had promoted to a divine dominator and realized a round of improvement of his spiritual energy, his spiritual energy was still as virtual as the starlight and moonlight over the sky; however, now, everything had changed. His spiritual energy had completely turned real and touchable as the water in the golden lake.

'What is the real spiritual energy used for?'

A whim occurred to him.

At the same time, Zhang Tie was stunned by what he saw. He found that his sight and senses suddenly appeared in his room, which were watching him sitting on the bed, legs crossed. Everything in the room was under his eyes. It felt like triggering a body-separation skill while a substitute was watching him quietly from the ceiling.

However, Zhang Tie was clear that it was not his body-separation skill but the perception of his spiritual energy and consciousness which was greater and more splendid than that of his substitute as his auditory sense and olfactory sense were also activated. It was Zhang Tie's first time to know that his consciousness and perception could extend out of his body by his spiritual energy without the help of any carrier, substitute, insect or beast.

It was an enthralling feeling.

Zhang Tie tried it as he found he could freely move his visual angle from the ceiling and the bottom of the bed to the washroom and the window as fast as lightning bolt as if there was an invisible person traveling in the room. That was pretty interesting!

The window of the room was still closed with curtains. When Zhang Tie "came" to the window, he took a look outside through the window as he found it was already dark outside as the entire city was brightly lit and pretty boisterous.

Only after a short while, Zhang had circled around his room many times and grasped this ability.

Zhang Tie found that his consciousness and spiritual energy could completely move freely in the room, which might help him reach far.

'I wonder whether this ability could penetrate through the wall.'

As he thought about it, his perception had already penetrated through the wall smoothly and came to the neighboring room, which startled him a lot.

Because each immortal general's room was specially installed with a heavy-lead alloy layer for the sake of their privacy and safety, which could isolate all the trials of a spiritual look-in. Even sage-level knights couldn't easily penetrate through such a protective layer spiritually and discover the situation outside.

In the beginning, Zhang Tie had already tried it and confirmed that he couldn't penetrate through such an obstacle spiritually even as a divine dominator. Of course, his lotus-flower eyes could see through it; however, its principle was different than that of spiritual penetration.

Nevertheless, this time, the obstacle in the wall appeared to have disappeared for Zhang Tie as he could easily penetrate through the thick wall spiritually like penetrating through the air.

'What happened?'

Zhang Tie became puzzled as he drew his spiritual energy back into his room in a split second. After that, he meticulously controlled his consciousness and senses to penetrate through the same wall as slowly as he could.

The real wall indeed became as transparent as air in front of his perception and consciousness.

When he slowly penetrated through the wall spiritually and perceptively, he could clearly see the thick lead layer in the wall. This obstacle still existed in Zhang Tie's perception and consciousness; however, it didn't exist in front of Zhang Tie's spiritual energy. Concerning Zhang Tie's spiritual energy, the heavy lead layer was a sort of wave, which was not strictly coherent.

As for Zhang Tie's spiritual energy, there was no real substance in this world as everything was like a wave. Only Zhang Tie's spiritual energy was real in this world.

It was a universal law between yin and yang and an occult realm of the rules of creation. When Zhang Tie's spiritual energy was virtual, everything in this world like a table, a stone, a wall, even air was real and touchable for Zhang Tie's spiritual energy when his spiritual energy was like an untouchable wave. However, when his spiritual energy turned real, all the real objects in this world became virtual and turned into waves macroscopically. Additionally, he could easily penetrate through the huge space and gap between waves spiritually.

It was Liu Meng's room in the neighborhood. Nobody was in his room. Zhang Tie then penetrated through Liu Meng's wall and came to Liu Yong's room spiritually where he saw the two brothers.

The two brothers were sitting in the cultivation room in front of a pile of over 100 earth element crystals. They were playing with those earth element crystals with mesmerizing looks.

In this case, besides watching what they were doing, Zhang Tie could also hear their talk clearly as if he was right in front of them. However, the two brothers didn't notice Zhang Tie's "arrival" at all.

"We should put these items into the space-teleportation equipment. If so many earth element crystals were noticed by others, it would be hard to explain it to them…" Li Yong suggested Liu Meng.

"Explain what? No matter what, these things belong to us. It's my first time to see so many earth element crystals since I was born. I would look at them and touch them before going to bed every night. Only in this way, could I sleep well. If you put them into the space-teleportation equipment, I could only see them once in each half a month. That is not cool…" Liu Meng refuted.

"I wonder what Zhang Tie is cultivating. He's been in his room for three days…"

"He's such a great powerhouse, a water immortal general at such a young age. Besides top flair, he must work pretty hard. We got to learn from him…"

"You're right. As we've got so many element crystals, let's not waste them. We have to become earth immortal generals as soon as possible!"

"Hmm, let's absorb one more before going to bed!"

After saying that, Liu Yong took an earth element crystal and held its upper half with one palm while Liu Meng held its lower half with one palm. After that, they palmed against each other using the other palm, eyes closed at the same time.

Last time, Zhang Tie had felt that the two brothers were cultivating a two-in-one cultivation method. He was right.

Zhang Tie didn't stay too long in their room. Instead, he penetrated through the wall in a split second and came to the room neighboring Liu brothers. Nobody was in there. Zhang Tie then came to the other room in the neighborhood…

…

He heard splashes and saw misty steam. After entering the room spiritually, Zhang Tie found that Jiang Ruoxin was taking off her clothes one piece after another, exposing her beautiful naked body. After that, she entered the bathroom elegantly while the mirror inside there turned blur due to steam.

Jiang Ruoxin slightly mobbed over the mirror, exposing her infinite, beautiful naked body in the smooth mirror. After that, she cupped her two little white "rabbits" and watched them with a faint frown, murmuring, "Although you're not as big as that of Yuelan, you're not too small either…" after saying that, she let out a sigh before entering the bathtub full of fresh blossoms.

Zhang Tie was completely petrified. Not until Jiang Ruoxin entered the bathtub and raised a naked, smooth leg mesmerizingly did Zhang Tie wake up and flash into a strange room after penetrating through some walls flurriedly while feeling like a thief.

Chapter 1672: A Shock

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

After hearing that voice, Zhang Tie became amazed at once. He had not imagined that someone in the immortal palace was interested in his background…

As Zhang Tie looked over there spiritually, he saw two people sitting together in a room as same as his, one was the handsome youth in white garment whom he met in the dining hall of the immortal palace, the other, given her costume, was a deacon of the immortal palace, a beautiful female deacon.

The youth was in black robe; instead of the white garment. Although his voice sounded cold, he still revealed a warm smile, which could even melt snow. The combination of the cold voice and the warm smile made him more mesmerizing.

"You don't even care about me. Do you know how much I miss you these days? I could only meet you by sending the customized robe to you…" the female deacon complained as she watched the handsome man beside her, and leaned against him.

"We will have time when we get back to Dragon Emperor Big Realm. We could do whatever we want over there…" the handsome man said with a smile as he put one hand around the female deacon's neck, causing her breasts to rise and fall in different shapes. At the same time, she groaned out of excitement while her cheeks flushed. As a result, the female deacon closed her eyes.

"Hmm…you're already…ah…the general priest of the immortal palace…why…do you care…ah…about him…ah…" the female deacon asked as she groaned.

The handsome man let out a long sigh as he whispered to the female deacon, "Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is facing crises. As such a young powerhouse suddenly came to our immortal palace as the deputy head, of course, I gotta care about him. What if he's dispatched by other immortal palaces? If so, our immortal palace would be in danger. As members of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, we would be involved in it too. It's closely related to us all. Why don't we care about that?"

"Oh…I've inquired about him these days…but got no information…about his background…It seems that only the head and General Deacon Leng know about his background…It's said that Zhang Tie firstly appeared in the airport of Heavenly Square City… He then went straight to our immortal palace…"

"Where was he when Zi Clan Castle was in trouble that night?"

"I…I…have no idea. He might have gone out…with Liu brothers and…the two new female immortal generals…"

The handsome man slightly squinted as he stopped his movement at once, continuing, "When did they come back that day?"

Being stimulated by the youth, the female deacon was already panting as she quivered slightly all over, answering, "It seems that…seems that they came back soon after head and general deacon went out…"

"Before daybreak?"

"They might have come back soon after Zi Clan Castle was in trouble…"

"That's not true…"

"It's said that the battle in Zi Clan Castle was very short…the person who killed those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace was a wind immortal general…Zhang Tie doesn't have such an ability…"

"What about those in the underground prison? Did you get any information from those suspects?"

"No…I didn't go to the underground prison…after being caught…those suspects…were all interrogated by head…I didn't get any information from them…"

"Keep an eye on them these days. If there's an abnormal situation in the immortal palace, let me know in no time. Additionally, I noticed that Head didn't mean to stay in Heavenly Square City for long; but I don't know his plan in details. If we know the arrangement of the headquarters, we could make plans a bit early…"

"Hmm…"

After saying these words, the man slowly removed his hand from the collar of the female deacon as he stood up. At the same time, his voice turned tender, "Alright, if you stay too long in my room, you might arouse others' attention. There's a long way to go. It's not good if our relationship is exposed to the public. We should care about this point. When we get back to Dragon Emperor Big Realm, you can resign from the immortal palace. When we get married, we would not be afraid of gossips…"

The female deacon nodded as she took a hopeful look at this handsome youth. Closely after that, she stood up and adjusted her dress so that the others couldn't find any loophole from her.

Watching the female deacon finish adjusting her skirt, the man opened the door, letting her leave there in a submissive manner.

"Deacon Fan, the robe looks much better. Thanks…" the handsome man spoke loudly.

"It's my duty. If there's any need, just let me know, General Priest Zhou…" The female deacon's voice recovered normal too; instead of being that coquettish.

"Thanks!"

"See you…"

After closing the door, the female deacon left decently and calmly. At this moment, the handsome man raised his head with a frown as his eyelight was flickering weirdly. Watching the ceiling, he murmured, "Is that not him for real?" After that, he shook his head and entered the cultivation room. Taking a water element crystal, he started his cultivation, legs crossed…

Zhang Tie was watching the whole process in the room spiritually. As an experienced expert in affection, Zhang Tie instantly realized that this man was taking advantage of that female deacon. However, women were usually blind in love. That female deacon couldn't find that she was just a tool; instead, she thought this man really loved her. She even would like to sacrifice everything for him. Whereas, this man was tricky and cunning, whose intention for joining Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace appeared to be bad.

'Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is becoming more and more interesting.'

After taking another look at this man, Zhang Tie left his room freely in a split second.

Zhang Tie almost traveled across the immortal palace, including each corner and nook.

In head's room, Zhang Tie saw Huang Baimei cultivating quietly over there. Even being a shadow knight, Huang Baimei still failed to notice Zhang Tie's existence spiritually…

In the underground prison, Zhang Tie saw Leng Manxue paying a tour inspection inside there with a cold look…

At a hidden place close to the underground warehouse, Zhang Tie saw a young guard and a virgin having a date and expressing their love to each other…

In the room of some guards, Zhang Tie found that some guards were writing words on the table while drinking. They were talking about the future of the immortal palace quietly as if they were intending to leave the immortal palace. However, nobody dared show their dissatisfaction because of the fear of strict punishment in the immortal palace…

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had known everyone's condition and emotions.

The tiny immortal palace couldn't cater to Zhang Tie's curiosity anymore; nor could it meet the travel of Zhang Tie's utterly different spiritual energy. Given Zhang Tie's current spiritual energy, it was like a whale in a fishing rod. Zhang Tie couldn't fully exert his spiritual energy at all as he had traveled across the immortal palace.

Zhang Tie instantly came to the air 10,000 m high outside the immortal palace spiritually. He could overlook the entire city over there. Zhang Tie intended to test the upper limit of the distance of his spiritual travel. Therefore, he extended his spiritual energy to the utmost as much as possible. In a split second, Zhang Tie's spiritual energy had broken out of Heavenly Square City and come to the place over 80 miles away from the immortal palace, where Zhang Tie felt his spiritual energy was shackled as he could barely further extend it. Within this range, Zhang Tie could casually appear in any place spiritually without any obstacle. He could notice the movement of any of the millions of people across the city.

After having a nice trip outside, Zhang Tie returned to the sky spiritually, where he instantly felt two bizarre energy in the vapor and clouds.

Before his spiritual energy turned real, Zhang Tie could sense and manipulate the invisible vapor in the air using his water chakra as a shadow knight and his spiritual energy as a divine dominator. However, after his spiritual energy turned real, Zhang Tie could not only sense the invisible vapor but also sense the two bizarre energy in the invisible vapor in the air.

Of course, the energy that a drop of water contained was trivial. However, the connection between the energy of numerous vapor was prodigious and terrifying. It could be said that the two energies could reach everywhere from the sky to the earth which was as great as the ocean. One energy was above the other. They were resting in the air quietly and terrifyingly in response to the earth and the higher space as if they contained endless secrets. Zhang Tie could feel that they were correlated to his realm of combining his fist intention with the universe. However, the latter was dwarfed by the two energies as it was more like the tip of an iceberg.

'Could I use the two energies?'

Since this whim occurred to him, Zhang Tie hadn't forgotten about it. He then extended his spiritual energy into the two energies in the sky and started to draw the two energies out of there like drawing water out of the ocean. He didn't stop until his spiritual energy couldn't work anymore.

Zhang Tie could already sense the two energies going a bit berserk while they were attracting each other as if they were going to integrate with each other. However, they were fastened by Zhang Tie's spiritual energy. Previously, Zhang Tie planned to try it on Zi Clan Castle in Heavenly Square City; however, after taking a look at the buildings not far from brightly lit Heavenly Square City and Zi Clan Castle, Zhang Tie changed his opinion at a stroke. As it was his first time to try it, Zhang Tie didn't know about its destructive ability. In case of casualties, Zhang Tie fixed his eyes onto a barren hill over 60 miles away from Heavenly Square City.

In a split second, Zhang Tie integrated the two energies that he separated from the sky…

…

A sudden white light appeared across Heavenly Square City, causing the sky as white as daybreak. When many people in Heavenly Square City looked up out of amazement, the earth across Heavenly Square City shocked heavily, the tablewares quivered, the lanterns swayed, many tiles fell off. When so many people in Heavenly Square City were in panic, the aftermath of a hurricane-sized impact wave swept over the entire city, sending the entire city into chaos…

Chapter 1673: The Terrifying Power

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

On the next early morning, all the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City had arrived at the wilderness over 60 miles away from Heavenly Square City as they gazed at the huge pit in the middle of the barren land with solemn looks.

"There was a hill yesterday. How could…how could it turn into a pit today…" Liu Meng told Zhang Tie using his battle qi as he took in a deep breath. Given Liu Meng's tone, Zhang Tie could sense Liu brothers fear despite being always careless.

In fact, almost none of the immortal generals at present could stay calm.

Of course, Zhang Tie also disguised to be solemn like the others with a frown and serious look. Pursing his lips, he was watching this huge pit and those collapsed, destroyed even charred trees, mountain rocks and hills within dozens of miles. In fact, it had become a terrifying, depopulated zone within dozens of miles.

All the people in Heavenly Square City were in turmoil last night. All the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace including Zhang Tie were requested to put on their flight suits and make tour inspection over the city in case of emergencies. Not until this early morning did the turmoil relieve slightly. All the immortal generals then got to the barren hill to check what happened here under the leadership of Head Huang.

From the sky, it was a huge hundred of meters deep pit whose diameter was over 0.6 miles. The neighboring terrain was changed as all the hills within dozens of miles were compressed as if they had suffered an unimaginable disaster.

Everyone above the huge, deep pit was shocked by what they saw as they remained quiet for quite a while.

Zhang Tie's look was half real because he was the "culprit" of all these. Zhang Tie was actually the first one who "saw" this scene last night. However, before he took a careful look at it, the entire immortal palace in Heavenly Square City had been mobilized. Zhang Tie was also "woken up" by Leng Manxue and was ready to fight. He even made a tour inspection in Heavenly Square City overnight.

It was impactful to watch and sense the scene created by himself. Besides, Zhang Tie felt extremely lucky. Thankfully, he made the experiment within this hill over 60 miles away from Heavenly Square City. If he chose Zi Clan Castle as his target, Heavenly Square City might have been swept over by him while millions of people in the city would have been burned into ash by his trial strike. If so, he would have made big trouble.

Zhang Tie didn't imagine that his trial strike could realize such a terrifying effect as its power was far greater than his most powerful kinetic strike. Neither did Zhang Tie know how he could make this. Last night, he was crystal clear that the two energies annihilated the moment they collided with each other. At the same time, a strong light appeared from nowhere with a terrifying lightning bolt, and then, it became all these.

"Let's take a look down there…" Huang Baimei finally opened his mouth after suspending over there for quite a while. By flapping the wings of his flight suit, he instantly shot towards the huge pit, closely followed by Zhang Tie and the others.

After coming to the bottom of the pit and watching the situation over there, everybody turned more solemn.

Within the hundreds of meters deep pit, there was not a single drop of water. Besides, it was pretty smooth inside the pit since the bottom and the walls of the pit were as thick as the remains of burning candles.

Watching the others checking around meticulously, Zhang Tie also squatted down as he easily got a piece of a palm-sized gray object out of the ground, it was like glass or glaze despite its color was not ordinary. It felt very strange. In the far, there were black, light-blue, greyish-green, even dark red objects just like being on a color palette.

Kids might feel curious about this place; however, immortal generals were scared by this scene.

Face turning slightly pale, Ji Yuelan slightly approached Zhang Tie. At this moment, she could feel safe only beside Zhang Tie.

"These objects were left by rocks at high temperature. Its content was similar to that of glaze. The colors were reflected by metals inside the rocks and the soil…" Leng Manxue explained distantly as she took a dark green crystal.

"Let's take a look in the surroundings, we might find something important!" Head Huang ordered while all the others started to fly around the deep pit. In a few minutes, they all came back in vain as they shook their heads.

"Let's talk about it after getting back to the immortal palace…"

They then flew back towards Heavenly Square City behind Head Huang.

Under their foot, all the surrounding hills were destroyed. If not these hills offset the power of this huge, deep pit like walls, Heavenly Square City might have suffered a greater loss.

Watching this, Zhang Tie felt lucky once again.

The flight suit helped him to move fast and flexibly. The moment the wings extended, the flight suit would be completely driven by battle qi. At full speed, common immortal generals could reach about 600 miles per hour with the flight suit. It was said that there were more advanced flight suits. However, such a gadget didn't exist in Taixia Country. Even though Zhang Tie had tried many kinds of flight modes, he still felt fresh about the flight suits today.

On the way back, they all remained silent as the atmosphere became a bit solemn. Although being relaxed inside, Zhang Tie dared not display it; instead, he was just immersed in driving and studying the flight suit.

Air floating metal was a key material of the flight suit. Besides, Zhang Tie found that the flight suit needed bizarre crystals which contained some strange runes. Only by combining the three elements could one fly freely in the sky by controlling the flight suit outfit using battle qi.

"Deputy head, you have really worked hard these days, hah. You preferred to hide in your room for cultivation than reaching out to me…" Ji Yuelan asked Zhang Tie as she approached him.

The moment this beauty glared at Liu brothers, the two guys had been pushed away from Zhang Tie.

Liu brothers felt normal about Ji Yuelan approaching Zhang Tie; nor did Huang Baimei and Leng Manxue care about that. Only Zhou Baifei, who was not far away, turned around and took a look over here.

By now, Zhang Tie had already known that they had held an inaugural ceremony when his mind sea saw an utter change. Everybody at present had already officially joined the immortal palace and got their own titles.

For instance, that toy boy was called Zhou Baifei, who was the general priest of the immortal palace.

A few days ago, Zhang Tie didn't have a strong aversion to him. However, after seeing how he cheated a woman, Zhou Baifei instantly turned into a toy boy in Zhang Tie's mind. Zhang Tie despised such men the most who cheated and took advantage of women on purpose. In Zhang Tie's opinion, he was completely an idiot, despite his handsome look and high level in the immortal palace; he was even more inferior than those male staff who lived on meeting rich women's sexual demand. No matter what, the latter would not betray his love or cheat a woman. However, the prior took advantage of one's affection. That was disgusting!

"I have to make progress…" Zhang Tie replied as kindly as before as if he had not noticed Ji Yuelan's discontent.

"Hah!" Ji Yuelan snorted as she continued, "Wish you promote to an immortal emperor as soon as possible…"

"Thank you, sister. If I promote to an immortal emperor, I will let you be an elder of my immortal palace…" Zhang Tie replied solemnly.

"Hah, who cares…"

"You don't like being an elder? Alright, it seems that sister wants to pave quilt for me…"

"You're so boring…"

It sounded so enchanting; however, given the voice, the girl felt opposite.

"What do you think of the huge pit?"

"It seems to be a natural disaster! Zhang Tie said instantly.

"But I don't think so…"

"If not, do you think it's created by people?"

"But even a supreme immortal general couldn't make such a terrifying strike…"

"That's a natural disaster then!"

"Alas, I always feel Motian Realm being more and more unsafe…" Ji Yuelan sighed with emotions.

After a short while, those people had got back to Heavenly Square City.

From the sky, the city had already recovered its order, except for many people on the open urban square, some of which had pitched up tents as if they were worried about another earthquake.

Those immortal generals then landed at the entrance of the immortal palace on its top…

Chapter 1674: Zhang Tie's Lesson

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

After getting back to the immortal palace, they didn't leave; instead, they were called to gather in an assembly hall by Huang Baimei.

In the assembly hall, Huang Baimei was sitting on the main seat while Zhang Tie was sitting close to Huang Baimei on his left, facing Leng Manxue. Next to Zhang Tie was Zhou Baifei who looked solemn. Jiang Ruoxin was sitting beside Leng Manxue. The others took a seat according to their titles. It felt like a group of important personnel of a sect sitting together to discuss something.

Although Zhang Tie looked solemn, he was actually absent-minded. Because he was very clear about what had happened last night. Watching the others in the opposite and recalling that scene when he made a spiritual journey that night, Zhang Tie unconsciously fixated onto Jiang Ruoxin's breast…

'It really looks a bit small. 35 C is much smaller than that of Ji Yuelan's. It couldn't even match that of Leng Manxue. But it's still plump. No matter what, she's a female knight…'

After comparing inside, Zhang Tie had felt two hot eyes fall on his face. He raised his head as he saw Jiang Ruoxin glaring at him bashfully. Even Ji Yuelan a few seats away was watching him while pouting her petite mouth. Leng Manxue moved her eyes over here at a stroke as if she had sensed something too.

Being gazed by the three women at the same time, Zhang Tie immediately moved his eyes away as he felt being put on the spot. He then pretended to cough twice softly.

Thankfully, at that moment, a female deacon entered which caught the others' attention at a stroke. After coming to the back of Leng Manxue, she lowered her body and gave a document to Leng Manxue before leaving out of there respectfully.

It was the very female deacon Fan who was with Zhou Baifei in his room that day. At this moment, deacon Fan and Zhou Baifei didn't look at each other at all. However, when deacon Fan almost left the assembly hall, she made a glimpse at Zhou Baifei. Nobody else at present could discover the story between them except Zhang Tie.

"What's up?" Huang Baimei asked in a muffled voice.

"I've had them count the losses in the city last night…" Leng Manxue answered calmly as she threw a glance at the piece of paper in hand.

"How's the loss in Heavenly Square City?"

After hearing Huang Baimei's question, even Zhang Tie pricked up his ears.

"Last night, 17 houses had collapsed, 133 people were injured, 68 of which were slightly injured, 43 were commonly injured, 6 were heavily injured, 16 people's eyes were scorched by the strong lightning and they had lost their sight for the time being; however, they've already been able to see partially now. Fortunately, it was not too late when the strong earthquake occurred last night. Most of the people were awake. The 17 houses were close to the border of the city. They were wooden structure and have not been repaired for long; besides, a small part of the 17 houses was empty. As for those with people, some people escaped at once, leaving some slower ones being hurt by logs. Four of them were heavily injured; however, they're already out of danger…"

"How did those guys lose their sight for the time being?"

"They were a crew of a business airboat in Heavenly Square City and some people drinking and enjoying the moon at a high building. When the strong lightning struck, the airboat was just arriving at Heavenly Square City in open land and the crew was preparing commodities on the deck. At that time, all these guys facing the coming direction of the strong light were dazzled as they couldn't see anything clearly until this morning.."

"Thankfully, nobody died. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would cure those injured ones at our full efforts. We could allocate some medicinal pills from our warehouse to them. The 17 ruined houses would also be repaired by the immortal palace. All the other places that require restoration would be invested by the immortal palace…" Huang Baimei ordered. After being silent for a second, he fixated his eyes on the face of the most inferior immortal knight at present, saying, "Mr. Xun would take its charge…"

"Yes, sir!" The old "teacher" stood up as he took the order.

"Head, it was too eye-catching outside the city last night that everybody in the city became flurried. How do we explain if we're asked about it by people in the city…" Zhou Baifei asked ahead of Zhang Tie.

"I'm gonna talk about it. I'll have someone post information across the city and tell them that we've already figured it out that a comet hit the earth last night. Let them stay calm. With the protection of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they have survived this disaster; instead of suffering a great loss across the city…" Huang Baimei said fluently.

After hearing his words, Zhang Tie instantly understood Huang Baimei——it's meaningless for civilians in the city to know what created such a loud noise and the huge pit outside the city. As a branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, as long as they could give a reasonable explanation to the urban civilians and tell them they were already out of danger, meanwhile having them appreciate the immortal palace, the truth was none of the civilians' business. All the immortal generals at present would not expose the truth even if they knew something. In fact, even Huang Baimei himself might not be sure of the reason for that huge pit. This might be a pending case in Heavenly Square City.

"Heavenly Square City is in a bit turmoil these days. Deputy head, you'd better work a bit harder these days by taking two justices and Siji Jiang to learn more about the situation outside the city. You could deal with common affairs at your discretion. When in emergencies, contact the immortal palace at any time or make an early warning…"

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had got a new job. Hearing Jiang Ruoxin being called Siji Jiang, Zhang Tie tried hard to not laugh out. The Siji, despite its pronunciation being similar to that of drivers in Taixia Country or old Siji, which meant an expert in love in Taixia Country, was utterly different in meaning. Loosely translated, it was similar to intelligence butler or a senior scout or personal assistant of head or deputy head. To put it simply, she was a jack of all trades.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tie took the order calmly as he threw a glance at Jiang Ruoxin. Liu brothers and Jiang Ruoxin took the order in unison.

"These days, Commander Lu would be in charge of the Immortal Force Camp. Anyone who dares bewilder the public or make evil deeds would be severely punished!"

"Yes, sir!" The bald tough man Lu Tianqiang took the order.

"General Priest Zhou and Inspector Ji could make a tour inspection across the city these days and contacted grassroots so as to make people reassured…"

The two people took the order in unison too.

"Alright, if there's nothing else to deal with, you could go work!" After making an arrangement, Huang Baimei ended the first short meeting which all the immortal generals of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City attended. They then stood up and left the assembly hall.

When he walked out of the gate, Zhang Tie still felt a bit strange. 'Why Head Huang didn't dispatch a task to Leng Manxue who is most familiar with the situation facing Heavenly Square City? What would Leng Manxue do these days? Does she have another task that couldn't be exposed to the others?'

Zhang Tie thought, 'It seems that new immortal generals gotta do something for the immortal palace before fully acquiring the trust of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.'

"Deputy head…" a voice sounded behind Zhang Tie. At the same time, Zhou Baifei paced up as he watched Zhang Tie with a big smile, "As it was too early to have a talk with you in the dining hall, after seeing deputy head, I finally understand that there's always someone greater in the world!"

Zhou Baifei's words sounded like a proper compliment. The others wouldn't think that he was flattering Zhang Tie. Given Zhang Tie's age and achievement, Zhou Baifei's compliment was implicit.

"Hahahaha, thanks, thanks, General Priest Zhou, you're really a 'young and able man'…" Zhang Tie replied perfunctorily.

However, Zhou Baifei didn't notice the irony in Zhang Tie's words as he still maintained his smile, asking, "Deputy head, are you free? Let's taste the flying pulp in Heavenly Square Building. You're my guest!"

"I'm really sorry. I'm too busy these days. As you know, Head Huang has just given a task to me. I dare not be relaxed at all. Oh, General Priest Zhou, as the deputy head of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, I gotta give you a suggestion. As millions of people's lives depend on us, we can't afford to make any mistake on this occasion. General Priest Zhou, you gotta measure what counts the most, the drinks or the lives of millions of people. As immortal generals of the immortal palace, of course, we should concern about the common lives ahead of our own demands. Take hardships before pleasure. Prioritize the interests of the commoners in Heavenly Square City in our heart. Make a high standard for ourselves and treat ourselves strictly…" Zhang Tie looked up as he made such points in a pretty righteous and merciful manner and pointed out Zhou Baifei's weakness in work in the public.

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zhou Baifei's smile froze at a stroke. Although Zhang Tie's words sounded a bit weird, it was their first time to hear that. They could only understand it partly. Under the gaze of the public, Zhou Baifei couldn't refute directly. As a result, after twitching his facial muscles for a couple of times, Zhou Baifei forced a smile, replying, "Thanks for your lesson, deputy head…"

"That's great. As a young man, you should not be proud and impatient. You know, being modest, one could make progress; being proud, one would lag behind; especially in work, we shouldn't be immersed in establishing relationships with each other. Keep it in your mind, General Priest Zhou…" Zhang Tie continued.

Zhou Baifei's face turned completely dark…

"Am I clear, General Priest Zhou?"

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Baifei forced a smile again as he replied, "Clear…"

Watching Zhang Tie talking so seriously with Zhou Baifei, Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan bore so hard not to out loudly. They all wondered why Zhang Tie disliked Zhou Baifei…

Chapter 1675: Visitors

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

It was a sunny day. Lying on the wildflowers which covered the field, Zhang Tie was biting a grass stalk and appeared to have fallen asleep, eyes closed, hands under his head, in the enchanting breeze.

Above Zhang Tie's head, there was a huge green umbrella of a dragon-pattern tree which was higher than 20 m. It could rightly serve as a shelter for Zhang Tie. Only broken sunlight penetrated through the gap between swaying tree leaves and cast onto Zhang Tie like silver pieces. It felt warm, pleasant yet dark.

This hillside which was covered with red, pink, purple and white wildflowers was pretty vast. Looking into far, it was all a sea of blossoms within 10 miles. Nobody could be seen here. Besides happy bees flying among flowers, Zhang Tie could also smell the fragrance of flowers facing the breeze every once a while. In addition, Zhang Tie could hear the "rustles" of leaves of the dragon-pattern tree above his head rocking in the breeze.

Behind the hillside, there was a snow-white mountain enshrouded by cloudy fog in the distance. Zhang Tie's place was tranquil because it was an air-borne mountain called Cloud-floating Mountain over 150 miles away from Heavenly Square City.

It was really an immortal feeling by having a nap at such an air-borne place at noon.

Today was March 12, the 3584th year of Calendar of Emperor NvWa in Motian Realm; it was almost one week after the weird explosion outside Heavenly Square City.

Superficially, Zhang Tie had fallen asleep under the crown on the blossoms; in fact, he was attempting to release the two bizarre energies that caused the "natural disaster" outside Heavenly Square City a few days ago in a more controllable manner so as to apply this skill in real combats…

The pattern of release of the two energies that day was too terrifying. As long as he released them, he would lose control of them. Additionally, it took him too long to gather the two energies. The two problems determined that he would be greatly limited to the application of that power in fighting powerhouses. He could use that pattern of release to deal with still objects such as cities or fortresses; he could even raid some unprepared powerhouses in a long distance. However, it was inconvenient for him to deal with real powerhouses; especially those above heavenly knights.

Therefore, if he wanted to turn the two energies completely into a strength at his will for real, he had to tackle the above two problems. In this process, he needed to explore the many things slowly alone. Similarly, things and experiments in the lab had to go through optimizations and meet realistic demands before turning into products on assembly lines in the factory.

Therefore, as Zhang Tie accepted the task, he was pondering and trying to turn the two energies into his own fatal strike.

This task might be important for others in the immortal palace, which made all the others intense; however, it rightly spared a chance for Zhang Tie to be "indolent". No matter what, Zhang Tie knew every detail of the "natural disaster". Head Huang mainly wanted him to watch out the situation outside the city; as long as he didn't make trouble, it would be nothing serious outside there.

After nearly one week's training, Zhang Tie's powerful spiritual energy had been able to gather the two energies in an efficiency two times higher than before. Additionally, he further learned about the feature of the two energies. Although Zhang Tie still couldn't make it fast, he had already touched the slimmer light of success.

At this moment, Zhang Tie was trying to press the two bizarre energies. He used his spiritual energy to shape an invisible, empty ball in the void. The ball was divided into two halves, up and down. There was a ���hole" on the top of each hemisphere, which could enable Zhang Tie to constantly "foist" the two bizarre energies into the two hemispheres respectively for "storage".

As long as Zhang Tie was ready to launch a strike, he could fire the ball of two hemispheres towards his target. When the ball was close to the target or hit the target, Zhang Tie "withdrew" the spiritual partition from the middle of the ball, causing the two energies to integrate and annihilate with each other along with the same terrifying disaster that he made the other day.

He didn't need too much spiritual energy to capture the two energies. However, it would consume him a lot of spiritual energy to maintain the stability and balance of the two energies in the spiritual ball. Zhang Tie had tried many times these days. Given his current level of spiritual energy, it would be very hard for him to maintain an "energy ball" as powerful as that last time in the void for over 2 hours.

Whereas, if the quantity of the two energies in the "energy ball" was reduced, he would be able to maintain the "energy ball" a bit longer. Accordingly, the destructive power of the energy ball would decrease too.

However, as for Zhang Tie, if such a skill couldn't match his kinetic strike in destructive power, it would not be meaningless. Therefore, in Zhang Tie's opinion, the more powerful the wholly-new skill was, the better it would be. Additionally, it should be as convenient and perfect as how he applied his battle qi.

…

Zhang Tie was doing muti-tasks at the same time. He captured the two energies from the void, checked through the consumption of that energy ball about his spiritual energy, adjusted the relation between the largest "pressure" that he could exert on the two energies and the capacity of the two energies of his ball and paid attention to the stability of the spiritual partition under different "pressure"…

It was absolutely like how pharmacists did experiments in the lab. He always honed his powerful battle skills step by step in this way. At this moment, Zhang Tie even started to admire those who had experts and secret methods to refer to. By contrast, he didn't borrow and learn from anyone in spiritual cultivation and sharpening battle skills; instead, he could only explore them bit by bit himself. 'King Roc Sutra' and skills of divine dominator…

Whenever Zhang Tie hit this point, he would think in a self-deprecating way, 'This is my fate…'

When Zhang Tie was pondering about manipulating the two bizarre energies in the void, he suddenly found that someone was flying over here. Even though his eyes were closed, Zhang Tie could still clearly "see" Ji Yuelan flying towards this air-borne mountain. Only after a short while, she had been within 25 miles and entered Zhang Tie's spiritual cordon.

In a white skirt and a simplified flight suit——a breast armor with wings. With this simplified version, although her safety was weakened, she could move flexibly and conveniently in the sky. Therefore, many immortal generals favored this simplified suit the most.

When a woman, especially a beautiful woman flew in the sky in this suit, by extending the huge bird wings, she would look like a legendary angel that Zhang Tie heard of in subcontinent in the former world.

Ji Yuelan was not an angel; however, the scene that Ji Yuelan flew in the sky in wings made her a beautiful angel. Therefore, Zhang Tie appreciated her for quite a while.

Ji Yuelan appeared to have a clear target as she flew straight towards this hillside. As a result, Zhang Tie instantly understood her intention. He then only kept the spiritual partition between the two hemispheres of the energy ball. After losing his spiritual constraint and control, the two energies escaped away within 0.001 seconds and disappeared in the air. Before reaching Zhang Tie's level spiritually, people could not sense the two energies at all; therefore, Zhang Tie didn't worry about exposing his secret.

As was imagined, after hovering above this hillside for a short while, Ji Yuelan had noticed Zhang Tie who was falling asleep in the wild blossoms under the dragon-pattern tree, snoring heavily. Closely after that, Ji Yuelan descended under the same tree like an angel with a fresh breeze.

After hiding her wings, Ji Yuelan came to Zhang Tie's side with a smile as she picked a purple flower and swept it over Zhang Tie's face repetitively.

Zhang Tie finally couldn't pretend it anymore as he opened his eyes and looked straight into Ji Yuelan's eyes.

"Huh, the others are dying of tiredness; whereas, our deputy head is sleeping here. I'm going to accuse of your dereliction of duty to the head…" Ji Yuelan "sneered" threateningly.

"Ahem…ahem…" Zhang Tie took off his grass stalk as he replied with a solemn look, "Inspector Ji, it's not that serious. As you see, this place is high and hidden; it's suitable for me to observe whether there's someone lurking outside the city. How can you say that I'm sleeping here?"

"If you're waiting for suspects, why do you lie down here?" Ji Yuelan continued to ask with a sneer.

"Those who could pose a threat to Heavenly Square City must be high-profile powerhouses. Therefore, I just lay down here for the sake of observation!" Zhang Tie continued to explain with a serious look.

"Why did you close your eyes then?"

"I just pretended to fall asleep; when I was sensing it spiritually in case of exposing myself…"

"Why did you open your eyes now?"

"A fairy descended. Such a beauty could even dwarf many fresh blossoms over the hillside. If not take a good look at her, I would suffer a great loss…" Zhang Tie answered as he made a face.

"You're so flirtatious. You only know how to take advantage of me…" Ji Yuelan finally broke into laughter as she pinched Zhang Tie's arm once forcefully.

"Ayo…" Zhang Tie accented his scream in a pretty enjoyable way.

"Stop! Look at you. Even if you were stabbed by a machete, there would be no wound on you. You could never scream so loudly after being pinched by me. The others, if see it, would think, would think…" Ji Yuelan paused…

"Think what?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile.

"Think that I'm gonna eat you!" After saying that, Ji Yuelan blushed all of a sudden.

"If Inspector Ji wants to eat me, I would not oppose!"

"For real?"

"For real. Besides, I would wash myself well for the sake of your convenience!" Zhang Tie joked again with a solemn look.

"Bullsh*t!"

"You don't believe that?"

"Unless you close your eyes!" Ji Yuelan said as she watched Zhang Tie with sparkling eyes.

Zhang Tie then closed his eyes. However, closely after that, he sniffed a fragrance while scented and sweety petal-like lips fell onto his lips and kissed him once, then once again, then the third time. After that, the two lips were glued to each other.

"Ahh…" Ji Yuelan groaned as Zhang Tie hugged her and put her under his body. Face to face, their nose tips almost touched each other as their qi reached the other's face.

Face flushed, eyes watery, panting heavily and exhaling as fragrant as orchid, Ji Yuelan was nearing the climax as her breasts kept rising and falling,

After looking at Ji Yuelan for a while, Zhang Tie gradually revealed a smile, "Inspector Ji, is that how you eat me? But I don't feel any pain at all. It appears that Inspector Ji didn't eat people before. As the deputy head, I should give you a good lesson!"

Being silent and eyes closed, Ji Yuelan dared not look into Zhang Tie's eyes. Face turning red, breasts rising and falling more heavily, she was waiting for Zhang Tie's favor.

"When you eat something, you couldn't eat it alive; nor could you eat its fur and drink its blood. You should do it step by step. It depends…" Zhang Tie said as he put one hand onto her breast armor and unbuttoned the first metal button.

With a click, Ji Yuelan felt warm all over as she groaned out of satisfaction through her nostrils unconsciously.

Three seconds later, the second click sounded…

After that, Zhang Tie stopped!

Ji Yuelan waited for a few minutes. When the flame in her heart was going to die out, Ji Yuelan gritted her teeth as she opened her eyes at a stroke.

However, Zhang Tie was not watching her; but looking into the distance. Along Zhang Tie's eyes, Ji Yuelan was also shocked.

A large team of airboats with the banner of an immortal palace almost arrived at Heavenly Square City, making it dark over the sky.

Zhang Tie turned around as he blinked his eyes towards Ji Yuelan and buttoned up her breast armor for her, saying, "It seems that head is going to call us back. I will continue to discuss this topic with Inspector Ji someday…"

Ji Yuelan was irritated as she pinched Zhang Tie's arm once fiercely. Zhang Tie screamed miserably before bursting into laughter. Before Ji Yuelan pinched him for the second time, he had jumped off her body, onto a high twig covered with dense tree leaves and took off his flight suit. After putting it on quickly, he then flew towards Heavenly Square City, followed by Ji Yuelan.

Right then, their jade plates rocked which meant that Head Huang was calling for them…

Chapter 1676: Handover

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The formation of over 100 airboats was grand in the sky, which was barely seen even in Taixia Country.

After coming to Motian Realm for a few days, Zhang Tie had been clear about many things in this world. Take those airboats as an instance, the emblem at the fore of the airboats was a yellow triangle flag with cloud edge, in the middle of which was a pattern of a fiery unicorn.

In Motian Realm, a triangle flag with cloud edge was exclusive to immortal palaces. Only forces who had founded their own immortal palaces could use such a flag and emblem. Therefore, at the sight of the emblem, Zhang Tie had known that these airboats belonged to an immortal palace. As for the details, Zhang Tie was confused.

Zhang Tie and Ji Yuelan flew towards Heavenly Square City rapidly.

It appeared that those airboats were not here for trouble. When they arrived at Heavenly Square City, there was no trace of battle and chaos inside the city. Additionally, the call-up order from the immortal palace was not a warning. Therefore, Zhang Tie and Ji Yuelan became a bit reassured and was not in a hurry.

"Which immortal palace do these airboats belong to?"

"It should be Unicorn Immortal Palace…"

Although Ji Yuelan didn't have lotus flower eyes, she could still see clearly the emblem at the fore of the airboats within such a short distance.

"Founded by a supreme immortal general?"

"Yup!" Ji Yuelan took a look at Zhang Tie as her face had recovered. However, she looked a bit solemn, adding, "Whereas Unicorn Immortal Palace ranks top three among the 14 immortal palaces founded by supreme immortal knights. It's said that Jiang Shang the King Unicorn who founded Unicorn Immortal Palace is a king-level powerhouse who probably promoted to an immortal emperor!"

"King-level powerhouse?" Zhang Tie asked out of confusion.

"Supreme immortal general. However, after founding their immortal palaces, supreme immortal generals would be called King XX in the public. Therefore, people used to call them king-level powerhouses. Staff within the immortal palace would like to call their head immortal king. If you call their boss supreme immortal general in front of so many immortal generals, someone might be unhappy about that!"

Zhang Tie understood it right away as he said, "Oh, I see, it's verbal bribery…"

"Verbal bribery, what's that?" Ji Yuelan asked.

"Hahaha, nothing, it means to entertain someone by speaking highly of him or her…" Zhang Tie put it simply as he thought, 'Humans are the same no matter where they are. Powerhouses in this stage are called sage-level knights; however, in Motian Realm, they prefer to be called immortal kings in order to distinguish themselves from the class of immortal generals; meanwhile, it indicates that they're only one step away from immortal emperor. Similarly, in Hua officialdom, deputy directors were usually called directors in order to entertain them. The speaker said it casually with some purpose while the listener felt happy. Why not?

"If it's called verbal bribery. You have such a glib tongue. I'm afraid that nobody else could match you in it as you're bribing people all the time!" Ji Yuelan threw a glimpse at Zhang Tie.

"I don't have a glib tongue at all. Inspector Ji should have tasted it just now!"

Ji Yuelan flushed slightly as she threw a glare at Zhang Tie. Closely after that, she came to Zhang Tie's front.

Zhang Tie smiled as he followed after her easily…

Only after a short while, the two people had arrived at Heavenly Square City. Jiang Ruoxin was also flying over here from afar. She was shocked by Zhang Tie and Ji Yuelan coming back together. After looking at the two people for a second, she remained silent.

These days, Zhang Tie divided the territory outside Heavenly Square City into east, south, west and north. He stayed in the south of the city for killing time while handing the other three to Liu brothers and Jiang Ruoxin. As nothing happened, he had not seen Jiang Ruoxin for about one week. It seems that Jiang Ruoxin was also trying to stay away from Zhang Tie. As Zhang Tie didn't call her during this period of time, Jiang Ruoxin didn't come to report to Zhang Tie at all. By contrast, Liu brothers came to report to Zhang Tie honestly every day.

"What a coincidence, Siji Jiang!" Zhang Tie greeted Jiang Ruoxin jokingly.

"Hmm…" Jiang Ruoxin replied casually as she came to Ji Yuelan's side. Ignoring Zhang Tie, she directly started a talk with Ji Yuelan using her battle qi.

"Why are you together…" Jiang Ruoxin asked Ji Yuelan.

"Erm, I went for him just now. Long time no see, it feels boring. I missed him; so I went for him, why…" Ji Yuelan who talked with Zhang Tie a bit bashfully just now spoke to Jiang Ruoxin straightly.

"Do you have a physical relationship with him?" Jiang Ruoxin asked straightforwardly too.

"Stop it. If you want to do it with him, when I go for him next time, you can come with me; you could do it first!"

"Peh…"

The women talked using battle qi; however, they had not imagined that Zhang Tie had heard all of their words. It was a new ability that Zhang Tie acquired after his spiritual energy turned real. Within the range of his spiritual energy, he could hear every talks clearly even that between knights using battle qi.

As Zhang Tie pricked up his ears to hear their private chat, he pretended to look front seriously. They soon arrived at the immortal palace.

On the square of the immortal palace, many people were present. Besides Huang Baimei and Leng Manxue, Liu brothers, Zhou Baifei, Lu Tianqiang and Xun Zizhou had long arrived here. There were 14 more strangers, including 10 males and 4 females, who were all as excellent as them given their looks besides outnumbering them greatly.

Huang Baimei was talking with someone who had the almost the same qi field as him and was introducing the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal to those strangers. Zhang Tie, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin directly entered the vision of the strange immortal generals.

Due to his pretty young age, Zhang Tie instantly attracted the attention of 10 unfamiliar immortal generals.

Huang Baimei smiled as he introduced Zhang Tie to them, "This is Deputy Head Zhang of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City; this is Intelligence Jiang; this is Inspector Ji…"

All the 10 strangers were immortal generals from Unicorn Immortal Palace.

A few minutes later, over 20 immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Unicorn Immortal Palace gathered in the assembly hall of the immortal palace.

"At the order of the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, three days later, all the immortal generals of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City would leave here, presenting Heavenly Square City to Unicorn Immortal Palace completely…"

As Huang Baimei opened his mouth, everyone at present became dumbfounded except Leng Manxue. Closely after that, they understood it…
