Chapter 1677: Heading for Dragon Emperor Big Domain
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Three days later, on the morning of March 15, the 3584th year of the calendar of Emperor NvWa in Motian Realm…
It was the first rainy day since Zhang Tie came to Motian Realm. In the drizzle, Zhang Tie stood on the deck of an airboat as he watched over 10 lines of people boarding airboats quietly.
The falling raindrops and the gloomy sky made the farewell more sentimental and tragic. The powerful Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had to bid a farewell to this city which contained millions of people in this way after Dragon Emperor disappeared for more than 900 years. They had to present this place to others given the current situation.
Heavenly Square City was not the first city that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace abandoned in Nine Heavens Big Domains; of course, it was not the last city either. These days, the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would gradually reveal their plan to the public. Within one week, the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would evacuate from Nine Heavenly Big Domain as a whole.
Those who received the presents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were Unicorn Immortal Palace, Tianlan Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace. The first two immortal palaces were founded by two of top three supreme immortal knights in Motian Realm while the latter one was founded by Emperor Force, one of the top three immortal emperors in this world. However, Star Emperor Immortal Palace which usually cast greedy eyes on these cities of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace failed to enter the list of powers sharing the cake of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Nine Heavens Big Domain.
Zhang Tie knew that the elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace must have made negotiations and secret trades with powers of those sister immortal palaces. Therefore, it could proceed so smoothly. If Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace didn't get guarantees or benefits from those sister forces, of course, it would not present those cities to them along with the population, even with discounts.
That was like how geckos break their tails for surviving themselves when in danger.
When Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn't protect these cities under its affiliation or deter the other forces, it was destined to narrow its scale. It had better exchange these cities and population for something when it could make a choice rather than being shared by the surrounding forces which looked like packs of wolves.
The decision of the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was understandable.
The raindrops touched an invisible shield and fell down 1 m away from Zhang Tie. The open part of the deck of this airboat had been completely wet except the area of about 3 square meters centered on Zhang Tie. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt pretty special in moisture.
It seemed that there was no movable deck on the airboats in Motian Realm. Such airboats were utterly different than that in Taixia Country in style. Additionally, airboats in Motian Realm were more classical as all the airboats here were related to the dragon. Take Zhang Tie's fleet as an instance, they were all in the shape of a dragon or dragon's sons and grandsons. The commonest shape of airboat here was Bixi, which was like a huge tortoise, the sixth son of Dragon King. It was said that Bixi liked carrying heavy loads. Therefore, airboats were usually made in the shape of Bixi, which was said to be steadiest and could avoid misfortunes.
After coming to Motian Realm for a few days, Zhang Tie became more and more confident that this world had an inseparable relationship with Hua people and Taixia Country. Perhaps in far-ancient times, Hua people here lived together with those in Taixia Country. Due to some reason, the two worlds were separated.
'If the relationship between two worlds could be figured out, perhaps I would expose one of the biggest secrets in the history of Hua people.'
Many whims occurred to Zhang Tie. Not until he heard footsteps from behind did Zhang Tie slightly become composed. He then turned around as he saw Leng Manxue walking towards him in the rain.
Leng Manxue was in a black professional robe; instead of an outfit. Being reflected by her black robe, this woman's face looked a bit fair in Zhang Tie's eyes.
"Ha, General Deacon Leng, why are you here…" Zhang Tie greeted the beauty.
"Aren't you here too? Why not attend the handover ceremony?" Leng Manxue asked Zhang Tie as calmly as before, despite the faint complex moods that Zhang Tie could identify. When she watched the city, her eyes carried a depressive and gloomy mood.
"Someone should be a watchdog here in case of trouble. Therefore, I requested to come over here from head…" Zhang Tie explained seriously which sounded perfect. Even Zhang Tie realized that he was more and more good at finding excuses for killing time. These days, Leng Manxue appeared being gloomy; however, Zhang Tie was not influenced. No matter what, this city was just like a hostel in his life trip, which was meaningless for him. No matter which party did this city belong to in the future, it had nothing to do with Zhang Tie. He only cared about improving his overall strength.
This trip to Motian Realm was regarded as a tough and fantastic survival training, Zhang Tie aimed at maximizing his ability and achievement in this survival training. After that, he would find his way back. By contrast, nothing else counted, even the rise or fall of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.
"Is that real?" Leng Manxue looked at Zhang Tie with crystal clear eyes as she unveiled Zhang Tie's lie at once.
"Hehhehheh, you know, the rite is too boring. It's just killing time. Additionally, I'm not familiar with the people of Unicorn Immortal Palace. Therefore, I didn't join in the fun!" Zhang Tie said frankly as he shrugged.
Watching Zhang Tie's sincere look, Leng Manxue's eyes turned a bit tender. She turned around and continued to look at the city in the fog and rain. Her eyes narrowed emotionally as if she was murmuring, "You know, Heavenly Square City is more beautiful when it's snowing. In November, if you're here, you will see that heavenly waterfall outside the city would not freeze. However, the water's steep fall would be blown away by the strong wind. Before those water drops fall down, many of them would become snowflakes flying in the sky; some would even become large areas of misty fog. As long as the sun comes out, you would see flying snowflakes under the rainbow…"
"Yes, it's indeed beautiful, I could imagine!" Zhang Tie answered as he stroked his chin and took a look at Leng Manxue, saying, "General Deacon Leng, you must have seen a lot of such scenes…"
"Hmm, as I was born in Heavenly Square City, I have been used to this city…"
"Aah, so your parents must be in Heavenly Square City too!"
"No, they aren't. They're immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!"
Zhang Tie then continued with a smile. "Oh, they must be in Dragon Emperor Big Domain. General Deacon Leng is coming back home soon…"
After being silent for a while, Leng Manxue opened her mouth, "They're not in Dragon Emperor Big Domain either. When I was 3 years old, they had been killed by demons in a war between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and demons…"
Zhang Tie's heart raced as he hid his smile and watched Leng Manxue seriously, "Sorry to hear that…"
"It's fine. I will take revenge for them one day!" Leng Manxue said stubbornly and decisively as she looked up.
"Revenge?"
"Yes, it's a famous fire demon immortal general of Yanmo Palace who killed them. That demon immortal general is still alive. One day, I would catch up with him and chop off his head…"
'An earth knight would like to kill a semi-sage level knight?' Zhang Tie thought Leng Manxue could barely succeed in her whole life. Because that semi-sage demon general immortal was also making progress all the time. Perhaps it would still be alive if Leng Manxue promoted to a semi-sage level knight one day; however, by then, the demon immortal general might have been a sage-level knight or on a higher level.
This world was cruel. In many cases, you could not be the center of the world because you had a lofty and great target. Conversely, the merciless reality would crush your last target time and time again. As a result, you would have to lower your head in front of reality and gradually become a wuss. You would be humble and trivial in front of your target. When you grew old and retrospected to those lofty targets that you set at a young age, you would feel ashamed of those high ambitions. Everyone would encounter such a situation, not only Leng Manxue. Even knights were not an exception. 'If I didn't have Castle of Black Iron and could survive the demon disaster in Waii Subcontinent, I believe that I would probably be the same kind of person.'
Zhang Tie didn't talk to Leng Manxue about that because he felt that this woman's weak frame was only propped by such a belief. If he ruined her belief, it was nothing different than destroying this woman. Given this point, even being a knight, Leng Manxue was like the other common women. The only difference between them was that the belief of common females was not revenge but love. If a man destroyed the belief of a woman, that woman would fall apart. It was also the reason that many common women turned decadent and felt like committing suicide after suffering great frustration in love. Among Zhang Tie's wives, Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing were such examples. After suffering such a spiritual strike, Bai Suxian was decadent for quite a long period of time while Yan Feiqing shifted to cultivation and viewed all the men in the world as sh*t.
"Good, ambitious! You have to take revenge for the death of your parents. Demon, fire immortal general, so what? He also has a head and a d*ck. As long as we chop off his head and d*ck, we would win, even if we have to do it 10 times or 100 times. In this world, nobody, not even demons are undefeatable…" Zhang Tie plucked up courage for Leng Manxue righteously while thumbing up, "If General Deacon Leng wants to revenge, don't forget to call me there. I'd like to join the fun and kill some demons…"
Zhang Tie's "dirty words" won Leng Manxue's frown successfully. However, she didn't turn around and leave there; instead, she took a look at Zhang Tie as she asked, "Do you want to promote to an immortal emperor one day?"
"You bet, every immortal general wants that!"
"Hmm, take a good look at them then!" Leng Manxue suddenly pointed at those commoners who were entering the airboats in the rain as she continued using his battle qi, "When in the immortal palace, someone said His Majesty Dragon Emperor once mentioned that these commoners were the key for an immortal king to promote to an immortal emperor. Without them, nobody could break the bottleneck facing immortal king, humans or demons. Perhaps you would know their value one day…"
After hearing Leng Manxue's words, Zhang Tie became stunned, 'Immortal king is supreme immortal general or sage-level knight. According to Leng Manxue, the secret for breaking through sage-level knight are these commoners?'
'No way!'
'What does that mean?'
In a split second, numerous questions occurred in Zhang Tie's mind…
"It's said that the secret method is in the core region of Mountain Ruins…"
As her voice was still lingering around Zhang Tie, Leng Manxue had almost left the deck…
"Aah, why did you tell me this?" Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue, causing her slightly slow down.
"I just feel that you should know that. Perhaps you have known it before; however, you forgot about it. As for the reason, just take it as an award for your refusal of Unicorn Immortal Palace's favor and the fact that you've killed so many immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace a few days ago…"
After saying that, Leng Manxue in black had disappeared.
Standing on the deck with a dumbfounded look, Zhang Tie watched the direction where Leng Manxue disappeared, then the lines of commoners entering the airboats in the rain, in meditation…
…
Besides immortal soldiers, nuns and deacons, their families and some strong-willed followers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace also followed them away, over 30,000 people in total. By noon, all of them and immortal generals of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City had left Heavenly Square City for Dragon Emperor Big Domain with wealth that they got from Zi Clan Castle by over 70 Unicorn Immortal Palaces in the heavy wind and rain…
When these airboats flew off Heavenly Square City, a businessman in a high storey of a hostel near the airport inside Heavenly Square City was looking at these airboats through the window of his room gloomily in the rain. With one hand on a piece of rune jade plate, he sent out a message in a split second—���The nine immortal generals and over 30,000 people of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City have left Heavenly Square City by 74 airboats.
After a short while, the businessman got a reply when the airboats faded away.
——Don't worry, none of the immortal generals could return to Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Your mission is over. You could leave Heavenly Square City for the Immortal Palace.
Chapter 1678: In Cultivation
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Nine Heavens Big Domain was in the center of Motian Realm. The entire region was full of conflicts between humans and demons. Dragon Emperor Big Domain was over 23 miles away from Nine Heavens Big Domain in the southeast. It would take them almost 20 days or three weeks to arrive there even by airboat.
74 airboats left the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City for Dragon Emperor Big Domain with over 30,000 people in total. The population was indeed not large for so many airboats. Given the replenishment and consumption on the way, according to the requirement of Head Huang, all the airboats had been loaded with enough water and food. Some airboats were fully loaded with materials for replenishing airboats. Therefore, these airboats could fly straight towards Dragon Emperor Big Domain.
Since the airboats left Heavenly Square City, Zhang Tie had been in cultivation in his cabin, completely ignoring everything of outside.
Cabins in airboats were not large; however, each immortal general could have one private cabin which was as large as over 30 square meters just like a small apartment. Additionally, each immortal general could have 60 L of water for both drinking and bathing per day. After taking a box of dried rations into his room, Zhang Tie had been concentrating on cultivation.
Through cultivation, Zhang Tie gradually strengthened his ability in manipulating the two energies which were directly reflected by his higher efficiency in gathering the two energies.
Spiritual energy was like a muscle, which couldn't grow stronger without constant exercise. When Zhang Tie used his spiritual energy to manipulate the two bizarre energies, his spiritual energy was also growing under control. As a result, Zhang Tie could better apply his spiritual energy in the real form in more special skills. A stone for two birds!
As it was too smooth for the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City to retreat, Zhang Tie always felt unnerved. If the immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace were not killed by him, of course, Zhang Tie would not care too much about that. However, Star Emperor Immortal Palace suffered a great loss and didn't get Heavenly Square City in the end; instead, the city fell in the hand of Unicorn Immortal Palace. Star Emperor Immortal Palace really suffered a great loss. On this occasion, it would be a bit strange if Star Emperor Immortal Palace didn't make any response to it.
Additionally, Liu brothers told Zhang Tie that Star Emperor Immortal Palace used to be overbearing and vicious. Therefore, it was almost impossible for them to pass the event in Heavenly Square City without suffering any casualty.
It was estimated that Head Huang had already well planned the route from Heavenly Square City back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain for the fleet of airboats as he knew that Star Emperor Immortal Palace was tricky. On the way, the fleet almost avoided and detoured the sphere of influence of Star Emperor Immortal Palace. They even had many sections of alternative routes. After leaving Heavenly Square City for one day, Huang Baimei altered the route once. On this occasion, it became difficult for Star Emperor Immortal Palace to have people look for the fleet on a large scale. Additionally, as the fleet didn't land for replenishment, the opponent could barely discover their trace either.
Zhang Tie knew what Huang Baimei was worried about. Because the conflict between the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace was aroused by him, Zhang Tie held that he was responsible for the safety of the tens of thousands of people on the airboats on the way. During the flight, although the others thought Zhang Tie was just cultivating in his own cabin, Zhang Tie was actually paying attention to the whole fleet all the time and safeguarding everyone quietly.
Although Zhang Tie was in cultivation, he had already covered the entire fleet spiritually. He could "see" everything within 60 miles. Even a mosquito entering the range would be "caught", not to mention knights. As for those things in cabins, they were as crystal clear as they were in front of his eyes. Zhang Tie would know everything in this range as long as he wanted.
On March 24, the 3584th year of the calendar of Emperor NvWa, namely 9 days since Zhang Tie entered his cultivation in his cabin, Zhang Tie's jade plate rocked again as Head Huang was calling for all the immortal generals to attend a meeting in the conference room of an airboat.
After receiving the news, Zhang Tie ended his cultivation right away. After taking a bath, he entered the conference room for the first time.
It was sunny inside there as the wind and rain across Heavenly Square City had long disappeared; instead of being a piece of land, it was a patch of void in Motian Realm below the airboat. A few days ago, the fleet had already left Nine Heavens Big Domain.
Watching Zhang Tie coming in, those immortal generals at present hurriedly greeted Zhang Tie. Only two of them looked at Zhang Tie in an uncomfortable way: Zhou Baifei, who, after being teased and ironized several times by Zhang Tie, had long been known disliked by the latter. Therefore, Zhou Baifei always felt being put on the spot whenever he saw Zhang Tie. Superficially, his face turned stiff like Bell's palsy.
And Ji Yuelan. The moment Zhang Tie boarded the airboat, he had forgotten about Ji Yuelan. Without being flirted with and favored for a few days, only Zhang Tie knew how many times had Ji Yuelan sworn him, "The fool who only has cultivation in heart" and "Selfish dirty man" when she pitied herself or complained to Jiang Ruoxin in her cabin.
When she saw Zhang Tie again, Ji Yuelan snorted as she moved her eyes away.
Only Liu brothers silently thumbed up for Zhang Tie. Since they joined the immortal palace, the two brothers had understood that they didn't have any chance to be favored by Jiang Ruoxin or Ji Yuelan. Therefore, they gave up pursuing them. Additionally, although Ji Yuelan had a liking to Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie just treated such beauty as nothing; instead, he only cared about cultivation, which the two brothers admired pretty much. Being stimulated by Zhang Tie, the two brothers cultivated much harder on the airboat these days…
Chapter 1679: Being Alert on the Way

Zhang Tie arrived at the conference room and greeted Liu brothers and the others closely followed by Leng Manxue and Huang Baimei's appearance when all the immortal generals at present stood up, including Zhang Tie.
"Take a seat, please…" Huang Baimei said kindly as he waved his hand without putting any airs. After everybody sat down, Huang Baimei looked around before sitting on the main seat at the desk. After that, he looked at Zhang Tie on his side, saying, "Deputy head, how was you cultivation these days?"
It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that Huang Baimei would like to talk with him first. After hearing his question, Zhang Tie answered seriously, "As we know, perseverance is requested in cultivation; diligence is like a seedling in early spring; its growth could not be discovered within a short period of time; however, you would find it for long. Indolence is like a sharpening stone; its loss couldn't be discovered within a short period of time; however, you would find it for long."
Previously, Huang Baimei just asked Zhang Tie as a starting remark; unimaginably, Zhang Tie's words made everyone at present spirited. Even Ji Yuelan who pretended to neglect Zhang Tie instantly turned around and looked at Zhang Tie. Jiang Ruoxin's and Leng Manxue's eyes shone at a split second as they took a deep look at Zhang Tie. As for others, Xun Zizhou was overemphasizing as he directly took out a notebook and scribbled down Zhang Tie's proverb like an old teacher.
Liu brothers who talked with Zhang Tie just now gazed at Zhang Tie as if he was their idol, putting Zhang Tie on the spot.
Noticing their responses, Zhang Tie instantly realized that he had exposed one more classic proverb unconsciously.
After being shocked for a few seconds, Huang Baimei looked at Zhang Tie from his head to toe again before saying leisurely, "I've long heard that the deputy head is good in both battle strength and literary talent. Deputy head always has thought-provoking proverbs. With such a great talent, you're really wronged to be only a deputy head. When we get back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain, I will recommend deputy head to the Censorate of the immortal palace…"
After hearing Huang Baimei's words, even Zhou Baifei who pretended to stay calm couldn't stand taking a look at Zhang Tie out of jealousy.
The Censorate of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was directly affiliated to the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, which was responsible for inspecting and supervising immortal generals of all the branches of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Each job in it was supreme and pretty distinguished. Serving as a staff in it, people would be able to contact the core powers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Even if Zhang Tie's title rank remained unchanged, his power and social status could exceed Huang Baimei.
"Ahem ahem, forget about it; head, don't make me embarrassed…"
Even Zhang Tie felt bashful accepting such a benefit standing on the shoulder of the giant. Therefore, he declined it hurriedly.
"That's the deal. When we get back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain, I would definitely recommend deputy head to the elders when I make a report on my work!" Huang Baimei continued. After that, he took a look at the others at present as he spoke louder, "Not only deputy head, everyone at present would have a chance to be promoted as long as you're talented and are faithful to the immortal palace!"
Huang Baimei comforted the other immortal generals at present. Since they left Heavenly Square City, although they didn't talk about it, they were all worried about losing their power after getting back to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. As all the cities in Dragon Emperor Big Domain were already under the control of the current branches and immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, as freshmen there, they could not assume the same titles within a short period of time. As a result, their titles and ranks were almost useless. In the worst scenario, they might be allocated with unimportant jobs. It would not be easy for them to be outstanding back there anymore.
Element crystal was an incentive for them to join the immortal palace; however, it was not the mere reason. A manager of a big business group might not have high compensation; however, the benefits and resources that he could enjoy were far greater than that bit of compensation. If they could get good titles there, they would not lack element crystals at all.
After the others nodded, Huang Baimei changed his tone again as he clarified the subject of this meeting, "However, before this, we should arrive at Dragon Emperor Big Domain safe and sound!"
"Head, do you mean it's dangerous on the way?" Xun Zizhou put away his notebook as he posed such a question properly.
"Maybe; maybe not. However, we have to make corresponding preparations!"
"Head, what do you mean?" Zhou Baifei asked.
"You should remember the contradictions between Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Nine Heavens Big Domain a few months ago; especially that Star Emperor Immortal Palace didn't make any response to the death of their immortal generals in Heavenly Square City before we left there. It's never the style of Star Emperor Immortal Palace. Therefore, I'm afraid that Star Emperor Immortal Palace would not let it go."
"Head, you're worried that Star Emperor Immortal Palace is going to raid us?" Jiang Ruoxin asked with a faint frown.
"Star Emperor Immortal Palace could barely fight us face-to-face. If two emperor-level immortal palaces are in a war, it would be a major event. After Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace evacuated its force out of Nine Heavens Big Domain, the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace have already reached an agreement with the others immortal palaces such as Unicorn Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Those immortal palaces have already taken their stands; they would never stand Star Emperor Immortal Palace provoking the war and destroying the territory of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace or killing immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for no reason. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace want to raid us, they're not only confronting with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace alone; instead, they're facing a greater part of human immortal palaces!"
'This might be one of the articles that the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the others immortal palaces have made with the compensation of those cities.' Zhang Tie thought as he asked, "Head, you mean Star Emperor Immortal Palace would do it secretly?"
"I think so!" Huang Baimei nodded as his face turned solemn, "These days, our fleet just traveled in populated areas; therefore, we were safe for the time being. Starting from this afternoon, our airboats would arrive at Brokenstars Ocean. Only by passing through Brokenstars Ocean could we arrive at Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Brokenstars Ocean is the most mysterious and dangerous area. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace want to raid us, they would definitely choose this area. Therefore, we have to be alert…"
"From today on, we will patrol outside the airboats by three shifts every day. As long as we find anything abnormal, we need to send a warning at once. As me and deputy head are water immortal generals with the greatest battle strength among you, each of us is a team. The rest of you is a team under the leadership of General Deacon Leng. Each team would be on duty for one day. Am I clear?"
All the people at present then nodded as it was a pretty proper arrangement. As Huang Baimei and Zhang Tie had the greatest battle strength, of course, they could be a team respectively. The others could assist each other when in an emergency.
"I will be on duty today. You'd better perform this formation in the airboat today in case of emergency…" Huang Baimei said as he took out something odd and allocated one to each of them.
It was a tan little ball as large as longan being covered with dense runes and bizarre patterns. Zhang Tie played with it with a confused look. However, the others had already put the little ball onto their central forehead. Closely after that, they all made a strange hand gesture. Closely after that, the little ball entered their central forehead with a golden light. Zhang Tie was shocked as he exclaimed inside, 'F*ck, is it a golden secret item?'
In the end, only Zhang Tie was scratching his head and watching the others bashfully, asking, "Erm…erm, what's this? How do I use it?"
"Ah? You never used formation bead?" All the others exclaimed as they watched Zhang Tie unbelievably…
Chapter 1680: Creepy B*stards
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The Brokenstars Ocean was not an ocean; precisely, it should be Brokenstars Mountains as there were dense star-studded air-floating mountains and hills in various sizes whose areas varied from hundreds of square miles to tens of thousands of square miles. The largest one among those hills was smaller than 35,000 square miles in area. After entering Brokenstars Ocean, one would feel like entering a bizarre space composed of numerous pieces.
Besides air-floating mountains and hills in various sizes, the most agonizing thing was the weird and variable environment here. The space environment of Brokenstars Ocean was very volatile. Many places here saw different extreme climates created by space cracks besides all-the-year-round heavy fog, such as ice storm under minus 100 degree Celcius, the high-temperature flame tide which could melt airboats into fluid, solid substances that were absorbed into this space through space cracks all of a sudden. All these made Brokenstars Ocean a perilous land of Motian Realm.
However, this perilous land was connected to Nine Heavens Big Domain and the other big domains. None of the traders could detour around this route. Therefore, people had to pass through it even at the risk of their lives. It was similar to the world Zhang Tie came from, as long as there were enough interests, people would like to do some things even at the risk of their lives.
Besides being dangerous, Brokenstars Ocean was abundant in air-floating metal. Air-floating metal could be easily exploited here. Additionally, nobody claimed its ownership of this perilous land. Therefore, since ancient times, these air-floating mountains had been exploited while there were many tunnels and mountain caves inside these air-floating mountains or hills.
Dangerous environment, complex terrain, crazy air-floating metal miners, no owner, the only route for connecting big domains, all these factors made Brokenstars Ocean the most ideal place of dauntless guys.
As long as there were people, there would be good guys and bad guys, commoners and evil guys even most merciless ones. It was determined by people's nature. Motian Realm was not an exception. In Motian Realm, many notorious bandits and criminals being hunted by big forces were hiding in Brokenstars Ocean.
It was also why Huang Baimei turned so meticulous and intense before arriving at Brokenstars Ocean. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace really wanted to do something, Brokenstars Ocean would be the most ideal place for them.
On the afternoon of March 24, when Zhang Tie's fleet entered Brokenstars Ocean, an air-floating metal exploitation airboat in flight was suddenly sent to hell somewhere…
Before the crew responded, the two strangers who suddenly landed on the deck had broken the metal hatch door of the deck and entered the airboat, killing everyone on the way towards the command module.
It happened so fast that soon after some crew in the command module heard the miserable shrieks and rushed out with weapons, the hatch door of the command module had been opened from outside with a loud boom. As a result, a crew was pressed down by the hatch door while his bones were crushed into pieces in a split second…
Closely after that, two twins in green long robe walked into the command module with dim green eye lights, one in unkempt blue hair, the other in messy red hair. Neither of them had eyebrows. Their age was unidentified while their faces looked as fresh as babies.
"Who are you…" The captain roared as he drew out of his saber and charged at them, followed by the other crew in the command module.
The two strangers didn't speak. The one in blue hair raised its hand, exposing its pitch-dark palm which was like withered twigs and could make kids cry. Meanwhile, the command module was filled with a terrifying battle qi while the captain and all the others at present were pale all over. In less than 0.5 seconds, the captain and all the crew were shattered into pieces…
Licking its lips, the one in blue hair seemed to have not been satisfied.
"Huh, here's one more…" The one in red hair found that the crew being pressed under the metal hatch door was slightly twitching his fingers. Closely after that, it stomped onto the metal hatch door without any demur.
The distance between the metal hatch door and the ground instantly disappeared after the one in red hair stomped onto it. At the same time, rich blood and flesh mud were squeezed out of the door from all directions like fluid being squeezed by a millstone.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was dead in the command module while a rich bloody smell suffused over there.
After moving away its foot, the one in red hair walked to one side of the hand rudder and pulled down a handle, stopping the airboat at once.
After that, the two b*stards left the command module for the passenger compartment. Wherever they passed by, it would be full of blood and flesh. In less than one minute, nobody was alive on the airboat anymore; precisely, no men alive anymore.
Ten minutes later, the only woman on the airboat, who appeared to be the female cook on this airboat, died naked after enduring the undescriptive pains and wallop. Her eyes were widely opened and blood flowed out of her nose, ears, eyes and mouth as her plump body gradually turned grey…
After she died, her body was still quivering while the two b*stards were still moving on her body like gloomy, disgusting scavengers.
"Alas, this common woman is too fragile. We've not been satisfied…"
"Only female immortals could be helpful to our cultivation base…"
"The airboats of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace should have arrived at Brokenstars Ocean. But if we offend Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…"
"Hehhehheh, don't worry. As we've already offended Lightfeather Immortal Palace, it's nothing serious for us to offend one more. No matter what, Dragon Emperor Immortal is far weaker than before. As long as we do it a bit faster and kill all of them, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might not know that it's done by us. Even if they find out, we won't fear them. With 4,000 fire element crystals, we could make further improvement in cultivation base and promote to fire immortal generals in a short period of time. As long as we promote to fire immortal generals, even Lightfeather Immortal Palace couldn't harm us. Additionally, we would have greater confidence in entering Mountain Ruins…"
"You're right, elder brother. It's said that there're some more female immortal generals on the airboats of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…" the one in blue hair said as it licked its lips. At the same time, it pierced the female cook's breast and took out her heart, biting off the greater part of it, blood ll over its mouth…
The one in red hair punched the one in blue hair and sent it rolling far away, glaring at the latter. "I've told you so many times, don't think about eating when we're doing something great. When you do that, you make me feel like a f*cking piece of flesh. I'm disappointed by you…"
"Hehheh, I see, I see…" The one in blue hair engulfed the rest of her heart. After that, it pulled up its pants, complaining in a low tone, "But elder brother, didn't you eat it too last time?"
"Is that the same? I ate it after f*cking her. Additionally, she was still alive and fresh by then!"
"However, we could play with the last woman for a couple of more times. Weren't you wasteful…"
"How dare you argue with me?"
"You're unreasonable…"
When the two b*stards were quarreling with each other, the one in red hair suddenly stopped as it watched the one in blue hair, saying, "I've got the message, the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace has already entered Brokenstars Ocean…"
"Huh, here's our deal…" The one in blue hair sighed with moods as it instantly rushed out of the hatch room, closely followed by the one in red hair. When the two b*stards came to the deck, they flew off and disappeared into the sky, leaving a dead, bloody airboat floating in the air territory of air-floating mountains…
Chapter 1681: An Earth-level Immortal Outfit
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
For a few days, Zhang Tie had been immersed in the bizarre experience of formation bead. During this period, Zhang Tie finally realized why immortal emperors could be killed by a formation of common immortal generals in Motian Realm. Because of the formation bead that didn't exist in the world that he came from.
In Taixia Country, the foundation of knights' formation was the connection of three-in-one knights' consciousness. However, after experiencing the effect of the formation bead, Zhang Tie discovered that the so-called connection of three-in-one knights' consciousness was most fundamental for knights' formation. By contrast, the formation connected by beads was the most effective one.
With the help of formation beads, all the immortal generals' consciousness, spiritual energy and battle qi were connected and overlaid. Besides, the formation would see another increase in the three aspects besides pure addition. In addition, special unified attacking and defensive skills could be developed. In this way, it was possible for the formation of low-level immortal generals to kill a powerhouse.
The formation bead that Huang Baimei gave to Zhang Tie was Winning Formation Bead. When in need, immortal generals on the airboats could instantly form a "Fatal Winning Formation" through connection. Fatal Winning Formation could increase the attacking and defensive strength of each unit by 10 to 20 percent individually. As for the details, it depended on the population of immortal generals and the other conditions. The more immortal generals were connected, the more powerful some immortal generals were in the formation, the more strong the battle qi of the fatal formation would be. Meanwhile, Fatal Winning Formation was featured by two unified attacking and defensive skills, called Variable Fatal Strike and Golden Wind Breakrespectively.
In Taixia Country, if Zhang Tie was just a shadow knight in his three change realm, even with the help of these knights on the airboat, it was nothing different than seeking for death if they wanted to fight a heavenly knight face-to-face. However, in Motian Realm, with the help of Winning Formation Beads, Zhang Tie realized that the formation of them could have a chance to fight a heavenly knight at least; instead of being an overwhelming slaughter.
If one wanted to combine himself with the formation bead, he or she had to cultivate a secret method called Burning Spirit Sutra , which was widely spread over Motian Realm. Every immortal general was familiar with it. With the passionate guidance of Liu brothers, Zhang Tie soon "recalled" this sutra as he started to taste the subtlety of formation bead.
Curiously, there was neither formation bead nor Burning Spirit Sutra in Taixia Country. According to Liu brothers, formation bead and Burning Spirit Sutra had been spread for tens of thousands of years in Motian Realm, which might have already existed since the birth of Motian Realm. All the formation beads in this world originated from Mountain Ruins. In Motian Realm, formation bead was more advanced than element crystals, silver secret items or weapons in human-level immortal outfits. Winning Fatal Formation bead was a preliminary earth-level immortal outfit, which was pretty precious. There were high-end heavenly-level immortal outfits such as the whole set of formation beads that demons used to kill Rune Emperor, which were rarer and well-known across the world.
Through formation beads, Zhang Tie knew better about the immortal outfits on different levels in Motian Realm. In Taixia Country, far-ancient secret items were simply divided into silver secret items and golden secret items. It appeared that Motian Realm carried forward a more complete division. In this world, there were professional immortal outfits appraisers. Besides being divided into heavenly-level immortal outfits, earth-level immortal outfits and human-level immortal outfits, each level was further divided into preliminary rank, middle rank, high rank and perfect rank; namely 12 ranks in total. Zhang Tie was really shocked by such a detailed division.
Besides faintly feeling that the so-called earth-level immortal outfits were golden secret items, Zhang Tie was muddle-headed about the division of these immortal outfits, Therefore, he determined to have good learning about the division and criteria of these immortal outfits. Such knowledge could never be learned in Taixia Country. It could definitely match a high-end cultivation method in value.
From a certain perspective, the entire Motian Realm was a huge treasure bank which was waiting for Zhang Tie to explore. After coming to this world for a short period of time, Zhang Tie had already acquired a lot.
…
On March 29, the 3584th year of the calendar of Emperor NvWa, the fifth day since the airboats departed Heavenly Square City, it was Zhang Tie's second time to be on duty outside the airboats. Soon after the daybreak, Zhang Tie had already put on his flight suit and flew off the airboat.
After entering the Brokenstars Ocean, the airboats had slowed down to about 250 miles per hour, at which speed the airboats could timely avoid from the air-floating mountains drifting there.
When Zhang Tie flew off the airboat, the first ray of sunshine had just reached the airboat in the front of the fleet in the distance. There was a rolling cloud sea below the airboats, which was covered with rose gold color by the first ray of sunshine. So many air-borne mountains were looming in the cloud sea. The clouds were driven by wind and slid over the airboats, leaving undulating white lines in the sky behind airboats. What a fairyland!
Even Zhang Tie was shocked by such beautiful scenery as he felt like being a monk or a hermit.
"Head, I'm here…" Zhang Tie contacted Huang Baimei using the formation bead in his mind sea.
After combining with the formation bead, if the immortal general wanted to keep its function, they had to consume their spiritual energy and battle qi constantly. However, they couldn't keep using it for a long time. In addition, after losing the formation beads, the formation's power would be weakened. Even Zhang Tie felt this item was much more convenient than remote-sensing crystals. His voice could enter the opposite's ears instantly regardless of distance just like how Zhang Tie contacted Heller.
Because of formation beads, Ji Yuelan and the others were all in quiet cultivation these couple days while preserving their spiritual energy and battle qi. As a result, Zhang Tie felt much more tranquil.
Soon after receiving Zhang Tie's message, Huang Baimei had flown towards Zhang Tie from above the fleet, leaving some words to Zhang Tie, "Despite being dangerous, we're safe for a time. However, we've already entered the core region of Brokenstars Ocean. Watch out…"
"I see, head, don't worry…"
"Hmm, as long as you notice something abnormal, contact the others immediately; don't try to show off your ability!" Huang Baimei warned as he took another look at Zhang Tie, adding, "After a few days, we would be able to leave Brokenstars Ocean!"
"Hmm, I see, I won���t show off my ability!" Zhang Tie promised like an innocent baby.
Huang Baimei then nodded and returned to the airboat.
As for all the immortal generals below wind immortal generals, it meant a great consumption for them to fly one day by the flight suit using their battle qi, not to mention that they had to keep formation beads in working condition, which meant greater consumption. Therefore, it was absolutely not an easy job for them to be alert outside the airboats for one day; of course, it was an exception for Zhang Tie!
Watching Huang Baimei returning to the airboat, Zhang Tie took two hours to circle around the fleet from thousands of meters to tens of thousands of meters away so that people in the airboats could see him through the command module and those portholes.
Although Zhang Tie was just disgusted to do that, it was indeed the most effective means to make people reassured by having them see a powerful immortal general of their own side patrolling outside the fleet.
After entering the Brokenstars Ocean, the immortal generals' intention had spread over the other airboats.
After circling the fleet for two hours, Zhang Tie directly ascended to tens of thousands of meters high in the air where he applied a hiding rune to himself and flew with the fleet in the easiest manner. At the same time, he started his cultivation by constantly capturing the two bizarre energies in the void using his spiritual energy.
Soon after Zhang Tie extended his spiritual energy, he had been able to observe everything within 60 miles without any blind angle. Additionally, he could see clearly everything within hundreds of miles.
At that time, Zhang Tie completed multiple tasks at the same time: he spared one consciousness to control his spiritual energy and spared another to control his flight and lotus-flower eyes. Meanwhile, he spent most of his efforts in cultivation.
Although Zhang Tie was on duty alone, he could definitely provide greater protection to the entire fleet even than a heavenly knight.
Not knowing why, the two energies in the Brokenstars Ocean were evidently more energetic than that in the other places. Therefore, Zhang Tie could cultivate much easily. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had been immersed in his own world as he became as trivial as a particle of dust in the universe because of the effect of his hiding rune. High-end knights could not sense him at all without eyes.
The entire fleet was safe and sound for over 10 hours. After night fell, Zhang Tie suddenly woke up and exited cultivation as he let go of the two energies in the void. Eyes sparkling, he threw a glance at the pitch-dark sky in the distance, where he found something abnormal…
Chapter 1682: Detection
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie sensed that someone was approaching the fleet of airboats from 60 miles away by his great spiritual energy, which had turned real.
Zhang Tie's spiritual energy spread over the void densely. As long as that thing entered the range of his perception, it had been discovered by Zhang Tie.
It was a person who was approaching the fleet from ten o'clock in a pretty presumptuous yet meticulous manner.
Zhang Tie's heart raced; however, he didn't turn around; instead, he just threw a glimpse at the target slightly. With his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie couldn't see anything within 60 square miles. It was his first time to encounter such a situation. Therefore, he was shocked for a time.
Although Zhang Tie's lotus-flower eyes were not in the strongest color temperature, Zhang Tie had already triggered his dark vision ability and could look far in dark. In this state, he could usually see clearly hundreds of miles in dark; even mosquitoes and bugs couldn't escape his eyes.
However, Zhang Tie would not make a mistake in spiritual perception. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had sensed that person was about 50 miles away from the fleet; additionally, Zhang Tie was confident that the distance between the stranger and the fleet was increasingly narrowing. Although many things were invisible to the eyes, it didn't mean that they didn't exist.
What if, what if that person was completely invisible!
In Taixia Country, Zhang Tie would regard it as nonsense if someone said he could be invisible. However, there were too many unprecedented secret methods and items in Motian Realm. On this occasion, Zhang Tie wouldn't feel strange if someone could hide himself with the help of some secret method or item.
As Zhang Tie thought about it, he instantly brushed his lotus-flower eyes and input more spiritual energy into the surging points around his lotus-flower eyes like how a machine increased its operating power. As a result, his lotus-flower eyes immediately reached a higher level on which he could observe the color temperature.
After brushing his lotus-flower eyes several times consecutively by adjusting the "frequency" of the six surging points around his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie finally captured a transparent human shape in the void.
That person was in a bizarre state. Even in flight, he didn't arouse any wave or response in the surrounding air; additionally, he completely hid his qi. With lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie found that the arriver's color temperature as a whole was integrated with the surrounding environment perfectly. If not Zhang Tie's unprecedented superb spiritual energy and his high-level lotus-flower eyes, he might not discover the target at a stroke.
Even though, Zhang Tie still couldn't see clearly the look of the stranger; instead, he could only see the shape of a transparent human which was caused by the trivial looming color temperatures of water molecules when in slight collisions and frictions with air.
Zhang Tie was really startled by this. 'F*ck, if he uses a secret method, it must be amazing! The hiding effect is over 10 times greater than that of my master-level hiding skill. I couldn't see through him even with my lotus-flower eyes.'
Given his shape, Zhang Tie realized the arriver was flying himself without any flying outfit, which meant that the stranger was at least a heavenly knight, a wind immortal general as was widely accepted in Motian Realm.
That person moved weirdly while hiding himself. For a time, Zhang Tie couldn't identify whether he was a foe or friend. 'Is he coming here to take a look or harm the people of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace according to his conspiracy.'
As several whims occurred to Zhang Tie, he became pretty alert as he was ready to release his battle qi and launch a kinetic strike. Apparently, Zhang Tie was still flying with the fleet leisurely like a shepherd dog watching a herd of sheep as if he didn't find that person was approaching the fleet.
Of course, the heavenly knight had discovered Zhang Tie; however, he didn't head for Zhang Tie; instead, he circled around the fleet from less than 5,000 m to less than 10,000 m away in all directions at a high speed for a few times. After going through the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace carefully, he flew afar.
It was absolutely a detective. 'It seems that I've got a business.'
Watching that person leaving, Zhang Tie licked his lips. When the stranger was over 65 miles away from the fleet, Zhang Tie started an action as he applied a master-level hiding skill and closely caught up with that person from 65 miles away spiritually.
In the dark, although Zhang Tie's master-level hiding skill was not as exaggerated as being transparent, he was at least looming and almost combined with the dark; additionally, his qi as a whole was as trivial as a particle of dust in the universe.
After positioning that person with his spiritual energy, Zhang Tie didn't chase after him straightly; instead, he used those air-borne mountains as cover, creating blind angles for that person. After that, he chased him by triggering his flight ability as a divine dominator.
Although being transparent, that person didn't fly as fast as Zhang Tie; he could only fly about 2,500 miles per hour. Additionally, being positioned by Zhang Tie's spiritual energy from over 65 miles away, he could barely escape Zhang Tie's perception. Even if he looked back, he wouldn't find Zhang Tie.
Perhaps out of his confidence, that person didn't even take a look back all the way.
After flying over 600 miles, that person finally came to a cave of an air-borne mountain and entered it. Zhang Tie landed on the back of a smaller air-borne mountain which was only a bit higher than 80 m from over 50 miles away; meanwhile, he kept fixing his spiritual energy onto the person.
As Zhang Tie extended his spiritual energy into the mountain cave, he instantly found another person inside there…
Chapter 1683: Red and Blue Devils
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The deserted mining tunnels inside the air-borne mountains of Brokenstars Ocean were damp and dark. Besides miners, very few people would visit such deserted tunnels. These deserted tunnels also became the ideal shelters of some people.
There were sparkling fine metal sands on the walls of the mining tunnel like fireflies, which were raw ores of air-floating metal. In Taixia country, such a tunnel would definitely be exploited. However, as Motian Realm was abundant in air-floating metal, very few people cared about such remains.
Zhang Tie was about 50 miles away; however, his spiritual energy had already reached here. As a result, he was crystal clear about this tunnel as if he was here himself.
The one in the tunnel was in unkempt red hair and open green robe. Its face was as fresh as that of a baby. With no eyebrows and pitch-dark hands, it looked similar to a ghost. Eyes closed, it was cultivating in a slightly larger mountain cave at the other end of the tunnel.
At the sight of this heart-wrenching scene, Zhang Tie had known it was definitely evil. The corpses beside that b*stard proved Zhang Tie's judgment right.
All the corpses lying there were of females. Being covered with dirty things, they were stinky and had been severely ruined. There was a huge bloody hole on the breasts of two corpses while the hearts had already been removed. From the bloody holes, Zhang Tie saw the destroyed guts. One corpse was still bleeding with a frightened and painful look. Given her look, she was newly dead. In a ripped flight suit, her lower body was naked being covered with terrifying scratches. Even her vagina had a bloody hole…
Being surrounded by the female corpses, the one in red hair and green robe was cultivating calmly. At the sight of that scene, Zhang Tie's killing intent boiled at once.
Besides the territory of demons and the underground prison of Three-eye Association clans, it was Zhang Tie's first time to see such a scene in Motian Realm. By comparing those wounds on the corpses and the ghosts' claws of that one in green robe and red hair, Zhang Tie had confirmed its identity. That b*stard's fingernails even held congealed blood stains. It was not a demon; however, someone was more terrifying and crueler than demons as long as they were possessed by a devil.
When the invisible person came to the mountain cave, the guy in green robe and red hair finally opened its eyes. It flicked its finger to send out a sparkle, giving out looming glow in the mountain cave, making it as gloomy as hell.
In the looming glow, with a slight air shock wave, the guy in blue hair and green robe who looked as same as the one in red hair appeared out of the void. If not Zhang Tie had followed it all the way here, he would think that the one in blue hair also had a Castle of Black Iron.
"Ah, elder brother, why is this female immortal general already dead? I've just left here for such a short while…" the one in blue hair shouted the moment it saw the female corpse in ripped flight suit, saying, "We've not encountered such a great tonic for long; elder brother, you're too wasteful. Why not leave some to me…"
"We're going to complete a task right now. Do you want to keep her alive here?" The one in red hair threw a glare at that one in blue hair as gloomy flames sparkled in eyes. "If this woman escaped, Yao Clan in Mirage Central Domain would dispatch people to hunt us. The head of Yao Clan is gonna promote to a supreme immortal general. Additionally, they have several elders, fire immortal generals and wind immortal generals. Therefore, we should avoid troubles as much as possible…"
"But if we lock her here, she could not escape away at all. We could take advantage of her when we come back…" the one in blue hair said.
"When we sweep over the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, there would be new female immortal generals as our tonics. By then, you would not care about this one…" the one in red hair said distantly.
The one in blue hair became stunned as it patted its head, replying with a smirk, "Yup, elder brother is right. I almost forgot about it…"
"Cut the crap. Tell me about your detection. Is there any wind immortal general in the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City?"
"I have no idea. It seems not. I only saw a common immortal general on duty outside the fleet. I didn't see any wind immortal general; neither did I sense the qi of any wind immortal general with Heavenly Devil Sutra. Additionally, those airboats were close to each other as if they were ready to fight enemies. It doesn't look like being guarded by powerhouses…"
"We have to figure it out. Even though you didn't see it, it doesn't mean that there is not. Perhaps the opponent has a secret item or method to cover himself too. If there's a wind immortal general in the fleet, it would be tricky. Those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace were chopped like vegetables in Heavenly Square City, including a water immortal general. However, nobody could even see clearly the murder even if there were so many immortal generals in Heavenly Square City."
Compared to that person in blue hair, this one in red hair was more considerate. As it said, it slightly squinted its eyes, two green lights flickering in its eyes. "If that person is in the fleet, even if we could kill all the others, we could not hold this one back easily. Additionally, if he's smart and just kills time with us while sending out a message for rescue, those d**chebags of Lightfeather Immortal Palace would arrive at Brokenstars Ocean within two days. By then, we would be in danger!"
The one in blue hair then kneaded its head, saying, "Erm…if we launch a straight strike, we might ruin this business; how about…how about having a try…if there's a wind immortal general, we will give it up and evacuate right away. Given the safety of the fleet, that person would never chase after us…"
The one in red hair became silent for a second before opening his mouth, "Which one did the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace head for, Heavenlyflame Hill or Colorful Hill? They are the necessary routes for Dragon Emperor Big Domain…"
"Heavenlyflame Hill��"
"It means the fleet would completely pass Heavenlyflame Hill in at least two days. We still have two days to prepare for it…"
"Elder brother, shall we do it or not?" The one in blue hair licked its mouth as it couldn't wait to do it.
"You said you saw an immortal general being alert outside the fleet just now…"
"Hmm, that immortal general appears to be young. He just stayed still at tens of thousands of meters high like an idiot in a flight suit. He's at most a water immortal general!" the one in blue hair said disdainfully.
"Someone is on alert, that's much easier!" the one in red hair fleered as it continued, "Now that he's an immortal general of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, he must know whether there's any powerhouse in the fleet or not. Go catch him. We will inquire about it from him. If there's a powerhouse above water immortal general, we will give it up. If not, we will take action tonight…"
"Elder brother, it's not that easy to make an immortal general open his mouth. Immortal general's mind couldn't be read…"
"Did you forget that we've got one devilfire pill left? It's time for us to use it!"
"Huh, I forgot about it…"
"Quick back. Don't scare him away. I'll wait for you in Waterelements Mountain 600 miles in front of you. After catching that immortal general, bring him to the Waterelements Mountain. After interrogation, we will take action near there…"
"Haha, as I have an invisible bead, even a supreme immortal general could barely discover me if not being too close, not to mention a little immortal general in flight suit. I will go catch him back in no time…"
As the one in blue hair said, it pressed its central forehead. Closely after that, it became invisible and disappeared from Zhang Tie's "vision".
Red and blue devils, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Invisible Bead, Zhang Tie understood everything at once.
After the one in blue hair disappeared, Zhang Tie immediately sent out some tracing feathers wrapped by his strong spiritual energy, which landed at the entrance of the deserted tunnel in no time from over 50 miles away.
It was a new skill that Zhang Tie had developed lately. After his spiritual energy became real, Zhang Tie's immortal runes also improved. Take his tracing feather as an instance, previously, Zhang Tie could only release it in short distance; now, his tracing feather could reach everywhere within the reach of his spiritual energy in a split second, which was more unimaginable, pragmatic and variable…
After releasing the tracing feathers, Zhang Tie instantly returned ahead of the one in blue hair and started to "patrol" leisurely tens of thousands of meters away from the fleet…
Chapter 1684: The Prey
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
It only took Zhang Tie less than 2 minutes to catch up with the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace from over 600 miles away at a terrifyingly high speed.
After Zhang Tie's spiritual energy turned real, with his flight ability as a divine dominator, Zhang Tie's speed increased by almost 8% in the air. He moved more leisurely in the air like a dual-drive engine being injected with high-efficient fiery oil. Although the engine remained unchanged, its output power became smoother and greater.
Not until he fully extended his metal wings did Zhang Tie start to push forward slowly by battle qi. After releasing his breath, Zhang Tie rapidly retrospected his plan in mind and ensured there was no loophole.
'The red and blue devils were going to catch a captive so as to ask whether there was a powerhouse above heavenly knight in the fleet. It's a good chance for me. Although I'm not afraid of them, I don't want to expose my body separation skill. Therefore, I could only solve them one after another for the safety of the innocent people in the fleet. The separation of the two heavenly knights will spare a chance for me to kill them respectively.'
The nickname red and blue devils were vivid. Although Zhang Tie didn't know their real names, he didn't care as he had already treated them as blue and red devils in his heart.
'The blue devil appears to be not as smart as the red one despite the secret item invisible (shen) bead. The invisible bead carries a pretty abnormal effect; however, I could take advantage of it. Because the blue devil doesn't know that I've already seen through his intention. As the blue devil becomes absent-minded, I could deal with it as fast as I can. After that, I will raid the red one. I swear to turn the two scumbags into ashes.'
Zhang Tie was not scared of the two weird scumbags; instead, he was thrilled inside.
Zhang Tie felt like watching brilliant fruits of brilliance and bloody fruits of bloodlines and two complete water chakras which were waiting for him to be absorbed. Due to the fierce reaction of Purgatory Samsara Method, Zhang Tie was always very considerate about using it. Unless demons or big notorious criminals, he didn't use such a secret method on his energies. As for Zhang Tie, the use of Purgatory Samsara Method was ethical. Zhang Tie didn't mind shattering and absorbing the chakras of those real notorious b*stards. Take the water immortal general of Star Emperor Immortal Palace that he killed in Heavenly Square City a few days ago as an instance, although he was also Zhang Tie's enemy due to different stances, Zhang Tie didn't absorb his water chakra; instead, he just chopped off his head in the end.
Zhang Tie paid tribute to his enemies and opponents, which could be killed; yet couldn't be insulted or mistreated.
Apparently, red and blue devils were opponents that didn't need Zhang Tie's respect. After hearing their talk in the mountain cave and seeing those terrifying, miserable female corpses in there, Zhang Tie had already treated the two people as demons. He could kill them in every means he could without a sense of guilt or mental burden.
Zhang Tie circled around the fleet as he gradually left it. As a result, he was over 60 miles away from the last airboat.
Such an alert distance was not far; especially for a fleet in the air.
The airboats flew in a relatively open air zone while Zhang Tie penetrated through those air-borne mountains far away from the fleet. At the same time, he seriously kept "scanning" those airborne mountains for hidden dangerous things or figures. Anyone who saw Zhang Tie would feel him fulfilling his task sincerely.
Of course, in the eyes of the blue devil, such a little immortal general was simply a gift from God. As Zhang Tie was far away from the fleet and there were so many airborne mountains in the surroundings, even if they made some noise, it would not arouse the attention of the powerhouses on the airboats, even if there were.
When the blue devil flew off the mountain cave invisibly, it was not attached with those tracing feathers that Zhang Tie had set at the entrance. This really shocked Zhang Tie. However, watching the blue devil flying towards the fleet, Zhang Tie finally became reassured.
It was definitely not because the blue devil made Zhang Tie's tracing feathers ineffective; instead, it must be the invisible shen bead that blue devil carried.
When the blue devil was over 120 miles away from the fleet, it caught sight of Zhang Tie who was penetrating through those airborne mountains. The blue devil instantly changed its direction and accelerated towards Zhang Tie with strong killing intent. When it was less than 10,000 m away from Zhang Tie, it slowed down its speed at a stroke in case of arousing Zhang Tie's attention. After that, it continued to approach Zhang Tie at a speed slightly greater than that of Zhang Tie.
Only after a few seconds, the blue devil had been less than 1,000 m away from Zhang Tie.
The blue devil then became more meticulous like a fierce beast which was going to catch its prey. Besides slowing down, it even circled around Zhang Tie for a few seconds. After confirming that there weren't any ambush in the surroundings, it didn't charge at Zhang Tie directly; instead, it made a detour around Zhang Tie and stopped at thousands of meters ahead of Zhang Tie, where it was ready for the prey.
The blue devil stayed in a valley of an airborne mountain which lasted dozens of miles. Zhang Tie was flying with the fleet in the same direction along this valley; meanwhile, he was "seriously" checking the situation in the valley in case of emergency.
The terrain and space of the valley were relatively narrow. As a result, the response in an emergency would be limited. Additionally, the valley could block the inspection from the fleet. As long as the noise was not loud here, the powerhouses in the fleet in the distance would not discover it, including the wind immortal general.
The blue devil was good predator; however, it didn't know that it had selected the same location for action as Zhang Tie with the same reason.
The blue devil was lurking there quietly like a poisonous spider who extended its web while accumulating its venom, waiting for the innocent "bug" and pricking its fangs into the prey. After completely paralyzing and disabling the prey, it would enjoy the good food.
However, the confident blue devil didn't know that it had long caught the attention of Zhang Tie. Since the beginning, Zhang Tie had been paying attention to its movement, even if it remained innocent apparently.
The blue devil was making a trap to capture Zhang Tie, which was the same trap that Zhang Tie was using to kill it.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had been less than 1,000 m away from the blue devil.
Zhang Tie saw the blue devil raising its hand and moving its body in the air. It was calculating Zhang Tie's route and waiting to incapacitate Zhang Tie when he arrived in front of it. As for a low-level knight, it would prove fatal if a heavenly knight touched his body by hand without releasing his protective battle qi. It was like sending a little white rabbit under the teeth of a timber wolf. The heavenly knight could use many methods to break the low-end immortal general into pieces or subdue him in a split second.
It was definitely more difficult to subdue a knight than killing him without making a loud noise. The predator should launch a lightning strike when the prey was absent-minded.
The blue devil made a perfect plan; pitifully, it chose the wrong target.
Zhang Tie just flew leisurely, gradually narrowing the distance between him and the blue devil, 1,000 m, 800 m, 600 m, 400 m, 200 m and 100 m…in less than 7 seconds, Zhang Tie was already 50 m away from the blue devil.
Even if he had not seen the face of the blue devil, Zhang Tie could still sense the evil fleer of the blue devil. Even so, Zhang Tie still remained relaxed.
At 50 m, the blue devil raised its hand again; at 20 m, the blue devil extended its arms and was ready to charge out like a venomous snake catching its prey and a lion catching a rabbit.
Within 0.001 s, the blue devil had reached 5 m away from Zhang Tie. When the blue devil thought the battle was coming to an end…
Deity-killing Sword, out!
Just when the blue devil's hand was about to touch Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie's central frown suddenly turned bright as he shot his deity-killing sword into the mind sea of the blue devil without any omen.
After Zhang Tie's spiritual energy turned real, his deity-killing sword also turned real. After flying off Zhang Tie's central frown, it turned into a 3-cm long golden sword and hit the target…
Like a fish being towed out of the water, the blue devil instantly became visible. Meanwhile, its ears, eyes, mouth and nose spurted out blood in a pretty miserable way as it watched Zhang Tie with a frightened look as if Zhang Tie was a ghost…
Chapter 1685: Killing the Two Devils
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
In no time…
When the blue devil was heavily struck by Zhang Tie's deity-killing sword and sent flying away while losing its brain, Zhang Tie instantly charged at it like how a boa charged at its prey. Besides strangling its neck and throat using his arm, Zhang Tie also used his shackle of bloody chakra and locked its chakra.
The deity-killing sword damaged the void of the opponent's mind sea and destroyed its spiritual energy. However, as a powerful knight, even if it couldn't run its spiritual energy, it could also launch a counter-strike.
After leaving the water, even a fish could struggle for a few minutes on the bank, not to mention a heavenly knight.
When Zhang Tie strangled its neck and throat by his arm and struck its chakra with his Purgatory Samsara Method like a heavy hammer, the blue devil started to resist. Groaning, it seized Zhang Tie's irresistible arms, intending to break his constraint while wriggling all over.
The blue devil tried to release its protective battle qi to break free of Zhang Tie's arm; however, frictions and squeeze between their battle qis and strength caused cracks with terrifying light between Zhang Tie's arm and the blue devil's neck…
In the void, with a boom, Zhang Tie struck the blue devil's chakra using his Purgatory Samsara Method again, rocking its fire chakra…
The blue devil couldn't even utter a voice at this moment as Zhang Tie was strangling its neck irresistibly.
Feeling that it couldn't break free of Zhang Tie's grasp, the blue devil started to pound Zhang Tie's lower abdomen fiercely by its elbow.
The armor on Zhang Tie's lower abdomen was shattered at once.
At the same time, Zhang Tie raised his right foot and pounded the blue devil's caudal vertebra forcefully with his knee, causing a cracking sound as if a steel bar was broken.
The blue devil intended to fly off by rolling itself in the air; however, Zhang Tie was tightly attached to it. As a result, the two people rolled and hit the ground heavily from above the valley, causing a big pit on the ground.
Those who had not seen such a scene could imagine how a crazy boa wrestled with a huge crocodile and rolled in the mud. At this moment, Zhang Tie was that crazy boa while the blue devil was that huge crocodile.
Whenever the blue devil pounded backward by its elbow, Zhang Tie would hit its body forcefully with his knee.
In rolls, the blue devil moved its head forward before crashing back towards Zhang Tie's head. Closely after that, Zhang Tie would give it a counter-strike by hitting his forehead towards the back side of the blue devil's head forcefully.
The valley was a complete mess. Wherever they rolled by, twigs and rocks would break while the strong qi which escaped away accidentally could reach 1,000 m away…
This combat could definitely match that when Zhang Tie killed the heavenly demon knight by striking it for nine times by rod at the bank of Weishui River. This was close combat between knights, in which process, all the battle skills had returned to their primitive and instinctive conditions like how two boorish fellows fought each other. Mutual locations, strength, physique, strike-resistant ability and endurance became key factors. However, such combat was much more perilous and crueler than the so-called close combat between knights.
Zhang Tie tightly strangled the blue devil's neck as they kept hitting each other with foot and head. At the same time, Zhang Tie forcefully struck the blue devil's chakra using Purgatory Samsara Method. Simply, the blue devil suffered from Zhang Tie's three different strikes.
However, because Zhang Tie was standing behind the blue devil, the blue devil's counter-strike was greatly restricted. As a result, the blue devil could only attack Zhang Tie's head and one elbow while withstanding Zhang Tie's tightening arm by another hand.
Zhang Tie's great power almost popped out blue devil's eyeballs as it gritted its teeth, breaking all of them.
Since the beginning, Zhang Tie was merciless. His face remained unchanged in the combat. He was as sober-minded as running gear. However, the blue devil felt being more and more tightened in the process.
Zhang Tie knew that the blue devil would definitely give it up earlier than him. Since he started to strangle the blue devil using his arm and shackle of bloody chakra, the result of this combat had been decided.
Zhang Tie's judgment was right. However, after wrestling with Zhang Tie for less than 5 minutes, the blue devil's counter-strike became weaker. Later on, the blue devil gave up attacking Zhang Tie. It scratched Zhang Tie's arm in vain as if it wanted Zhang Tie to let go of his arm. However, it was fixed onto the ground by Zhang Tie, face to face, feet kicking in vain…
Zhang Tie just maintained this gesture, letting the blue devil struggle like that. After breaking the blue devil's entire wind chakra, Zhang Tie started to take it bit by bit like how the crazy boa engulfed the huge crocodile after winning the battle…
After taking the entire wind chakra of the blue devil, Zhang Tie added his strength and broke the blue devil's neck in a split second, causing its eyeballs to pop out of its eye sockets. Closely after that, its feet became paralyzed. After convulsing a few times, it became still.
The blue devil could never imagine that it would be killed in this way.
After pushing off the blue devil, Zhang Tie picked himself up from the ground.
After Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy, the two space-teleportation equipment on the blue devil's hands, one bizarre bead and one silver secret item in its qi sea flew in the air at the same time. After taking a look at these items, Zhang Tie immediately put away all the items except the silver secret item.
Zhang Tie couldn't check the two space-teleportation equipment until the first day or the 15th day of next month. The bizarre bead contained changing fog, causing it blurry as a whole. Zhang Tie knew it was the invisible shen bead. However, it was not the right moment for him to study the bead; therefore, Zhang Tie put it away too.
The silver secret item was a grim, over 2 m long mace with many 1.5 cm long spikes. In brilliant light, Zhang Tie had it turn real. Holding it and weighing it by hand, Zhang Tie nodded slightly.
This mace weighed over 2,000 kg. Although being a bit light, it was enough for Zhang Tie to kill the red devil.
"Peh…" Zhang Tie spat onto the ground after wiping out his blood stains at mouth corners. Watching its disgusting look, Zhang Tie raised his mace and made a several meters deep pit on the ground, turning the blue devil into sh*t. Closely after that, Zhang Tie flew off and shot towards the red devil at 10,000 m per second.
After killing one, Zhang Tie was confident to get the other.
Although the tracing feathers didn't attach to the blue devil, they attached to the soles of the red devil when it left there. Therefore, Zhang Tie could precisely position the red devil.
Perhaps twins had special telepathy. When Zhang Tie killed blue devil, the red devil who was lurking somewhere over 600 miles away suddenly moved. It didn't fly towards the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; instead, it flew towards far at the fastest speed, starting its insane escape.
However, that was impossible as the red devil had been positioned by Zhang Tie.
The red and blue devils must only have one invisible shen bead. Besides positioning its trace using tracing feathers, Zhang Tie also saw it using his lotus-flower eyes after flying off the valley for 10 seconds.
The red devil was fleeing for real. Being wrapped by a pitch-dark fog, the red devil reached the speed about 7 times the speed of sound, which was a terrifying speed for a heavenly knight. However, it was nothing different than waiting for Zhang Tie.
Five minutes later, Zhang Tie had already arrived at the air zone above a hill being surrounded by air-borne mountains, which was over 1,000 miles away from the valley where Zhang Tie killed the blue devil just now.
Zhang Tie kept striking an over 100 m high hill among those air-borne mountains, mace in hand. With each strike, he would release energy tantamount to hundreds of billions of Joule. With a white light and a terrifying impact wave, the hill was shattered and disappeared in a split second while the red devil flew out of there while spurting out blood, screaming miserably, "Who're you? Who the hell are you? Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace doesn't have such a great power…"
Zhang Tie flashed towards his target once again silently. The moment he approached the red devil, he launched another strike, causing it to spurt out blood incessantly…
The red devil was not more powerful than the heavenly demon knight that Zhang Tie had killed at the bank of Weishui River. However, Zhang Tie was much more powerful now than in the battle at Weishui River. Therefore, the result of this combat was already fixed. What Zhang Tie was concerned about the most was that he might not fully take the red devil's wind chakra if he killed it too fast; he didn't want to waste it. Waste was the most shameful thing.
Therefore, the red devil had to face a much more tragical result than the blue devil.
A few seconds later, Zhang Tie broke the red devil's crus in a split second.
Then, Zhang Tie broke its shoulders and elbow, sparing its hands where there were some space-teleportation finger rings in the principle of conservation. However, the red devil couldn't move anymore.
After that, Zhang Tie hit the red devil's main body part, causing it to be almost breathless while breaking most of its bones as a whole.
With the red devil's miserable shrieks, Zhang Tie knocked it over by mace. Closely after that, Zhang Tie came close to it and pressed its head by hand. Closely after that, he triggered his Purgatory Samsara Method and started to refine its chakra. The entire combat lasted less than 10 minutes.
In only a few minutes, Zhang Tie had absorbed its wind chakra. Closely after that, Zhang Tie broke its head forcefully.
After killing another two sc*mbags and absorbing their wind chakras, Zhang Tie felt pretty satisfied while the remaining wind elements almost broke out of his mind.
…
Just now, a team of four airboats passed by the location hundreds of miles away from where Zhang Tie fought the red devil. After sensing the combat, over 10 immortal generals in flight suit flew off their airboats under the leadership of a wind immortal general to check what was happening over there…
The red devil didn't have eyebrows. His weird baby face was too eye-catching. As for a heavenly knight, he could see clearly what was happening over there from hundreds of miles away.
"Red and blue devils…" The wind immortal general changed his face greatly as he shouted.
Closely after that, they saw Zhang Tie split the red devil's head by his hand.
From hundreds of miles away, Zhang Tie grinned towards the grey-haired wind immortal general. However, the old man's face became white all of a sudden as he instantly fled at his full speed, followed by the others. The old man even looked back for a few times out of intention, afraid of being chased by Zhang Tie…
Zhang Tie took off those space-teleportation finger rings and a rare silver secret item——a pair of claw sleeves from the red devil. Closely after that, he tossed out red devil's corpse and punched it into sh*t in the air…
In the distance, watching their immortal generals returning to their airboats, the four airboats fled towards different directions in two groups at full speed. It was a popular strategy that fleet of airboats would adopt in fear of being chased by one powerful enemy. Because Zhang Tie could only chase after them in one direction within a short period of time, the other group of airboats would have a greater chance to survive themselves.
Zhang Tie took a look at those airboats while a whim occurred to him. However, he vetoed it at once.
If Zhang Tie wanted to chase after them, none of the commoners and immortal generals on the four airboats could survive; however, Zhang Tie couldn't kill them just because they saw him killing the red devil by accident because he was always merciful.
'Well, whatever, it's nothing a big deal even if they noticed it…'
At this moment, none of the people on the airboats of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace discovered that Zhang Tie had already diffused a conspiracy for them within one hour in the dark of Brokenstars Ocean.
Shaking his head, Zhang Tie ignored the four airboats; he then turned around and flew back towards the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Only after a short while, he had caught up with the fleet. After that, Zhang Tie continued to keep the fleet company leisurely above it as if nothing had happened.
Chapter 1686: The Marvelous Invisible Bead
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
On the second day, it was raining. The fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace entered a large rainy and cloudy area in Brokenstars Ocean. The entire air zone was facing heavy wind and rain. Even the sun was sheltered by clouds. The visible distance in the sky was only a few thousands of meters. On this occasion, the fleet moved more meticulously at the speed of only about 130 miles per hour.
Despite such a cloudy and rainy day, Zhang Tie felt pretty joyful as he almost hummed a song.
After killing the red and blue devils, Zhang Tie had been assimilating their wind chakras in flight. Only after a few hours, Zhang Tie had already lit 3 scales, reaching 119 scales of his wind chakra. With 25 more scales, he would be able to promote to the four change realm of shadow knight and be intensified by 10% in all aspects again.
Zhang Tie had taken the complete wind chakras of the red and blue devils last night. According to Zhang Tie's estimation, after assimilating all the wind elements, he would easily promote to five change realm of a shadow knight.
What was more, Zhang Tie got far more than this from the red and blue devils. Zhang Tie didn't know what was inside those space-teleportation finger rings until two days later, namely April 1, the 3584th year of Calendar of Emperor NvWa. However, the invisible shen bead was definitely a rarity. If not Zhang Tie's spiritual energy had been completely real, even his lotus-flower eyes could barely discover the trace of the blue devil. It could be imagined how important this invisible shen bead was. What invisible shen bead to Zhang Tie was equivalent to what wings were to a tiger.
Given the evil deeds of the red and blue devils, there must be one fruit of brilliance and one fruit of bloodline on the small tree.
With such a great achievement overnight, Zhang Tie felt pretty good.
If a person felt good, even the heavy rain would be taken as a drizzle, a gift from God. That felt pretty special!
When his duty was on due, before Zhang Tie called the next team for a shift, Liu Yong, Liu Meng, Ji Yuelan, Jiang Ruoxin, Leng Manxue, Zhou Baifei, Lu Tianqiang and Xun Zizhou had already put on the flight suits and flew off the airboats one after another.
When he saw them fly out, Zhang Tie flew downward and greeted them.
They all released a thin protective battle qi which was closely attached to their outfit so that raindrops couldn't penetrate through their outfits. The moment the fine raindrops fell onto the outfits, they had slid off. It felt like putting some oil on their outfits. Of course, it was widely accepted by ordinary fierce immortal generals and earth immortal generals. Because the long-term release of protective battle qi meant a large consumption, they had to conserve it. However, as for Zhang Tie who didn't have the concept of exhaustion of battle qi, he directly released 1 m thick battle qi. As a result, fine raindrops couldn't even approach him.
Watching Zhang Tie fly towards them, all of them threw an admirable glance at Zhang Tie except for Zhou Baifei and Leng Manxue——This is the difference between nouveau rich and common working class.
"Deputy head, didn't you feel anything abnormal last night?" Leng Manxue asked Zhang Tie.
"Everything is fine. But as it's low visibility in the air today, you'd better not stay too far away from the airboats and not leave each other's sight…" Zhang Tie told them as Leng Manxue nodded.
"Thanks, deputy head…"
"Hahaha, it's my pleasure…" Zhang Tie replied with a smile.
"Hmm, what happened to your flight suit? I remember you wore the whole set of flight suit last night…" Ji Yuelan asked Zhang Tie with a confused look.
Women usually paid special attention to details like outfits. After being warned by Ji Yuelan, the others also noticed that Zhang Tie only wore a pair of wings. If Ji Yuelan didn't mention it, the others might have thought that Zhang Tie just came out in this way last night.
"When I was patrolling outside last night, I found that this set of flight suit didn't fit me. After wearing it for a while, it didn't feel comfortable; besides, it even weakened my flexibility. Therefore, I just returned to the airboat and took off the other parts except for the pair of wings…" Zhang Tie told Ji Yuelan as he blinked his eyes towards her.
Of course, it was a lie. In fact, in the process of killing the blue devil, Zhang Tie's outfit was ruined partly; especially his abdomen armor and arms armor which had been completely destroyed. In case of not being asked about the reason, Zhang Tie directly dropped the other parts of the flying outfit.
"Humph, deputy head is really prodigal. The flight suit is purchased at a high price in our immortal palace. How could you just drop it? According to one of the 36 regulations in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, nobody is allowed to destroy the items in the immortal palace. Of course, your battle armor is the property of the immortal palace. Deputy head, you dropped it on purpose when there's no enemy, how would you be our role model…" Zhou Baifei finally caught a chance to give Zhang Tie a bite.
"It's really not easy for you!" Zhang Tie said as he watched Zhou Baifei with a smile, "General Priest Zhou, you must be bearing it too pitifully these days. You must be thinking about putting me on the spot every day. And you finally got a chance today…"
Zhou Baifei changed his face at once as he pretended to stay calm, "Deputy head, why do you say so? I gave you the reason!"
"General Priest Zhou, you're right. I indeed should not drop the property of immortal palace. As a deputy head, of course, I should follow the rules so as to be a role model for you. How about deducting my one month's compensation…"
"The most precious part of the flight suit is this pair of wings. The others are not that precious. As the battle armor was not designed for deputy head, it might not fit him. Now that deputy head found it didn't fit him in the execution of the task, it's acceptable for him to drop it. When we come to Dragon Emperor Big Domain, I would apply for a customized, senior flying outfit for deputy head!" Leng Manxue said calmly as she took a look at Zhang Tie and Zhou Baifei.
"Haha, thank you so much, General Deacon Leng. But I deserve the punishment. Everyone should follow the 36 rules of the immortal palace. If one destroys a property of the immortal palace, he should pay 10 times greater than it in value. As an immortal general, I'm absolutely not an exception. That's the deal!" Zhang Tie wove his hand before taking a look at Zhou Baifei, asking him with a smile, "General Priest Zhou, how do you feel about my solution?"
"Now that deputy head could follow the rules and become our good model, of course, we have nothing to say!" Zhou Baifei said with a glassy-eyed look.
10 wind crystals were almost as valuable as over 100 sets of flying outfits in Motian Realm. It was even 100 even 1,000 times greater in value. Of course, Zhou Baifei couldn't say anything else about it anymore.
"You'd better bear it in mind. Ask about your consciousness before doing something. Don't do it because it's a trivial evil thing; don't skip it because it's a trivial kind thing. Laws are usually merciless. The 36 rules of the immortal palace is not a joke!" Zhang Tie told the others a lesson with a smile as he threw a stealthy glance at Zhou Baifei. Waving his hand towards the others in a handsome way, Zhang Tie said, "Well, I'm going back. It's your job now…"
When the others were still considering Zhang Tie's proverb "Don't do it because it's a trivial evil thing; don't skip it because it's a trivial kind thing", Zhang Tie had already returned to his airboat. After being transfixed for a few seconds, Xun Zizhou instantly became thrilled as he took out his portable notebook and scribbled down Zhang Tie's words on it.
As for Zhou Baifei, after being glanced by Zhang Tie, his heart suddenly raced out of fear unconsciously.
'Did he know something? Impossible! Impossible. How could he know what I've done…'
Zhou Baifei encouraged himself inside, 'Zhang Tie is just bluffing me.'
However, soon after Zhang Tie returned to his airboat, he had received Ji Yuelan's apology from the formation bead inside his mind sea, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know it would make you so embarrassed today…"
"It's fine. It's just 10 wind element crystals!"
"Really?"
"Hehheh, if Inspector Ji feels sorry about that and would like to compensate me in another way. I won't refuse it. Oh, Inspector Ji, don't you feel your breast armor is too tight?"
"You're so coquettish…"
After flirting with Ji Yuelan for a few seconds, Zhang Tie hummed a song and returned to his room.
After killing red and blue devils, Zhang Tie knew that Star Emperor Immortal Palace would have no other means to deal with their fleet anymore. That was to say, their fleet of airboats would not encounter any danger on the way anymore. After all, the heavenly knight was not as cheap as white cabbage; especially those who would like to do such a dirty job. Perhaps when Star Emperor Immortal Palace confirmed the death of red and blue devils, the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had already arrived at Dragon Emperor Big Domain.
After returning to his room, Zhang Tie closed his door and took a seat for a short while quietly to recover his composure. After that, he couldn't wait to take out that invisible shen bead which he was pretty curious about…
Shen was one of the nine sons of the dragon king, who excelled at being invisible. Given its name, Zhang Tie could guess its function.
Invisible shen bead was fixed onto a mithril necklace. The upper half of the bead was cupped by two delicate mithril feathers. On the two feathers, there was a special symbol of the divine dominator. If it were a few weeks ago, Zhang Tie definitely didn't know the meaning of the symbol. However, after learning so much these days, Zhang Tie could identify that the symbol belonged to a big force in Motian Realm——Lightfeather Immortal Palace.
This invisible shen bead didn't belong to red and blue devils at the beginning; given their talk in the mountain cave, it should belong to Lightfeather Immortal Palace; however, nobody knew why it was in the hand of red and blue devils.
Of course, this rarity belonged to Zhang Tie now. Zhang Tie was not as innocent as preliminary students who would hand everything they picked to the policemen. As he robbed this rarity from red and blue devils through a fight, which was pretty useful to him, of course, Zhang Tie would not return it to Lightfeather Immortal Palace which had nothing to do with him.
The invisible shen bead contained an extremely blurry mist which was constantly changing its color. After playing with it for a while, Zhang Tie didn't see any rune or trigger device outside this bead. According to his experience, it meant that this bead probably was driven by spiritual energy or battle qi.
When Zhang Tie thought about it, he injected his spiritual energy into it to see whether there was any effect.
However, Zhang Tie had not imagined that the blurry mist suddenly poured into his mind sea along the route the spiritual energy entered it as fast as a lightning bolt the moment he injected his spiritual energy into it.
In the blink of an eye, the invisible shen bead lost its luster. Like a broken eggshell, it became powder at once, leaving an empty pendant in Zhang Tie's hand.
Zhang Tie was startled so much that he flurriedly checked his mind sea.
At this moment, there was one misty bizarre bead on the marvelous arch door above his mind sea. Zhang Tie touched the bead using his spiritual energy, causing it to rock slightly; meanwhile, Zhang Tie felt being spread over by bizarre energy.
At the same time, Zhang Tie couldn't see any image in the mirror anymore as his body had completely disappeared. Just now he was evidently standing in front of the mirror; however, it was empty in front of it now. Zhang Tie became as transparent as the blue devil; even more than it. Unless using spiritual energy, Zhang Tie couldn't see anything of his body even using his lotus-flower eyes…
'F*ck, what happened?'
After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhang Tie contracted his spiritual energy, showing himself up in his room once again. In the mirror, he saw his amazed look.
���If this bead is used in this way, how could I get it from the blue devil?'
'Is it real usage? It should be stored in one's mind sea instead of being hung out. Only real spiritual energy could completely activate and assimilate the energy of this bead…'
After trying it many times, Zhang Tie finally confirmed that he had got one more powerful ability——being completely invisible in front of others. 'As for the invisible shen bead, I might not be able to return it to Lightfeather Immortal Palace even if I want!'
