Chapter 1790: Zhang Tie's Intention

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The Dragon Teeth Army was composed of over 1,500 immortal generals. As the most powerful force of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Dragon Teeth Army was responsible for the safety of Forbidden City, Dragon Emperor City and Cloudriver Valley.

All the immortal generals of Dragon Teeth Army had already heard about Dragon Emperor Medicament which had shocked the entire Dragon Emperor City these days. After knowing that Zhang Tie took 50,000 vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament to cheer up the troops, the morale of Dragon Teeth Army rose at a stroke as they all performed the large battle formation at their full efforts.

With the hot sun above their heads, Zhang Tie, elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were watching the drill of the large battle formation of Dragon Teeth Army on a viewing platform at the hillside near the camp of Dragon Teeth Army keenly.

Zhang Tie had seen large battle formations of knights for many times in Taixia Country. However, the large battle formations of knights in Motian Realm were utterly different than that in Taixia Country. The big battle formation of over 1,000 immortal generals was really earth-shaking. The moment the large battle formation was triggered, it became dark within dozens of miles at once. The power of the entire large battle formation could match the large battle formation of 10,000 knights in Taixia Country. Additionally, this battle formation of over 1,000 immortal generals was more variable and unified.

In Taixia Country, there weren't any sage-level knights in the large battle formation, over 1,000 average knights could never defeat a sage-level knight. However, in Motian Realm, according to Zhang Tie's judgment, if a sage-level knight really fell in this large battle formation, he might be killed.

Of course, the premise was that the sage-level knight really entered the big battle formation. Otherwise, given the speed and battle strength of sage-level knight, unless he fell into a trap, he could barely encounter such a dilemma.

The real functions of the big battle formation of over 1,000 immortal generals were as follows: defense, deterrence, two armies pitting against each other and ambush. All in all, rare sage-level knights could be ambushed and killed by a big battle formation of over 1,000 immortal generals; especially after Rune Emperor's death, no more supreme-level immortal general was killed by a big battle formation in Motian Realm anymore.

Of course, it was formation beads being exclusive to Motian Realm which could enable a big battle formation of over 1,000 immortal generals to release 10 more times power.

Formation bead was a kind of immortal outfit in Motian Realm, also a secret item in Taixia Country. In Motian Realm, immortal outfits were divided into heavenly-level immortal outfits, earth-level immortal outfits and human-level immortal outfits. Each level was further divided into preliminary, medium, advanced and perfect. Such a division was much more detailed than that in Taixia Country.

At this moment, the Dragon Teeth Army was performing Four-Image Heavenly Battle Formation. This battle formation required 1,200 formation beads, each formation bead for an immortal general. This set of formation beads of Four-Image Heavenly Battle Formation was the set of the most advanced immortal outfit that was collected in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. It was of preliminary rank on a heavenly level. Over the past hundreds of years when the Dragon Emperor disappeared, this set of formation beads became one of the most precious rarities in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

When they performed the Four-Image Heavenly Battle Formation, 1,200 immortal generals integrated with their battle qi and spiritual energy. With the effect of formation beads, the entire battle formation formed a bizarre space which was similar to the virtual image of a knight. The so-called four images became constellations in east, south, west and north respectively. Immortal generals couldn't be seen in the large battle formation anymore; instead, people could only see the virtual images of the large battle formation.

As four constellations sparkled, various attacks launched out of the four constellations which rocked heaven and earth within that territory.

After drilling for half an hour, the large battle formation gradually surrounded the viewing platform where Zhang Tie, the elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were. However, nobody found anything wrong except for Zhang Tie. They were all enjoying it pretty much.

At this moment, there were totally 13 people on the viewing platform, including Zhang Tie. Hong Yukun was not qualified to be here. Huang Baimei became the center of the large battle formation as he was commanding the large battle formation, being invisible.

Just now, when they were watching the drill, Zhang Tie kept silence. After finding that all the others were trapped, Zhang Tie finally revealed his intention.

"How do you feel about Four-Image Heavenly Large Battle Formation?" Zhang Tie turned around as he watched the others with a smile.

"With the protection of this large battle formation, Dragon Emperor City will have no worries!"

"It's indeed powerful!"

"I'm afraid that this large battle formation could defeat any power below the immortal emperor!"

Elders started to acclaim it in unison as they were all very satisfied with the drill of Four-Image Heavenly Large Battle Formation.

"Pitifully, there are not enough immortal weapons in Earth-Treasures Department anymore. Otherwise, if each immortal general of this large battle formation were matched with one more immortal outfit, the power of this large battle formation could increase by two more times!" Wang Laisheng sighed pitifully as he stroked his beard.

"Only a few immortal weapons are left in Earth-Treasures Department!" Luo Yunshang interrupted in fear that Zhang Tie would misunderstand her. "There were hundreds of immortal weapons in the Earth-Treasures Department previously. Over the past hundreds of years, most of them had been rewarded to immortal generals who made meritorious deeds. Every immortal outfits' whereabouts were recorded. You know that it's a taboo for us to not reward someone with meritorious deeds. Because of the constant incentive of the hundreds of immortal weapons, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could maintain a bit of grace until the return of Your Majesty. Over so many years, almost all the immortal outfits in Earth-Treasures Department have been rewarded except for some sets of formation beads which have been allocated to Dragon Teeth Army. Even though Your Majesty asked me whether there were some heavy immortal weapons in Earth-Treasures Department, I could only tell you no…"

Luo Yunshang didn't lie. When Zhang Tie ascended to the throne of Dragon Emperor, he intended to find a super heavy secret weapon from the arsenal of Earth-Treasures Department. However, the number of immortal weapons in Earth-Treasures Department was fewer than that he could imagine. After knowing that, Zhang Tie abandoned this idea.

Zhang Tie waved his hand as he said, "Let the bygones be bygones. After we start to auction Dragon Emperor Medicament, we will exchange some Dragon Emperor Medicament for immortal outfits annually. The warehouse of Earth-Treasures Department will also gradually become substantial in contents. I think Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace will be better and better in the future!"

"It's all because of you, Your Majesty!"

"Not completely. I have to appreciate you for that as well!" Zhang Tie said while heaving a deep sigh, "Although Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace has a bright future, there's a problem facing us that we have to solve as soon as possible. Otherwise, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might perish overnight…"

"Ah? No way!" All the elders and presidents goggled as they thought Zhang Tie was joking.

"Do you know Dark Emperor Immortal Palace?"

"Yes, we know!" All of them nodded.

With a frown, Elder Shi asked, "Is there any relationship between Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?"

"The envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace came to the Forbidden City yesterday. Through communication with him, I knew that Dark Emperor Immortal Palace was far more complex than we could imagine. Dark Emperor Immortal Palace might have been lurking in Motian Realm for too many years. With great ambitions, they had already controlled many clans. Even Heavenly Sunshine Immortal Palace has been penetrated through. They even dared arrange moles in Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace. The envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace told me that Star Emperor and Force Emperor were both worried that some immortals of their immortal palaces were already under the control of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. Star Emperor even especially asked his envoy to warn me that some immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might have already been controlled by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. On this occasion, how could I stay calm as the head of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?" Zhang Tie glanced over all the others as he continued, "Before the old man came back, you were crystal clear about the situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. If Dark Emperor Immortal Palace dared do that to Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace, how could they let Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace go?"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the elders and presidents exchanged a glance with each other as they all looked pretty solemn. At the same time, the fervent atmosphere on the viewing platform slowly turned cold.

"Your Majesty, what about your plan?" Long Jiutian asked Zhang Tie in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, as long as you need us, we would definitely support you!"

"Of course I want to find the moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace as soon as possible!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "I know the situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in the past. Excellent birds would rest on fine trees. Humans struggle upwards; water flows downwards. At that time, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had a poor prospect. Some of you might choose to rely on Dark Emperor Immortal Palace for the sake of your prospect. I understand that. Just let the bygones be bygones. I didn't want to look into it. Now, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is becoming better and better. I want to spare a chance for those who have relied on Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. As long as you could stand out and admit that you've joined Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, you could leave here safely. I could allow you to exit Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and leave Dragon Emperor Big Domain safely. From then on, as for whether you're going to be our foes or friends, it depends on you!"

"I've got a question. As all the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace have already made a bloody pledge, how could they betray immortal palace without being destroyed by the bloody pledge?" Hou Moyuan asked.

"According to the envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, Dark Emperor Immortal Palace might have already mastered a solution to invalidate the bloody pledge. Additionally, Golden-Soul Rune Virus of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace could indeed enable immortal generals to be their puppets…" Zhang Tie said as he took a calm look at the others, "How do you feel about my method?"

"Your Majesty, you're really merciful!"

"But I'm afraid that the moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace could barely admit their real identities!"

"But we could have a try. If there're really moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, this method might not lead to a big turmoil…"

"How could we let these traitors go? I think we should kill them…"

The elders and presidents started to air their views.

Zhang Tie then fixated onto Xia Yangming with a smile as he asked, "Elder Xia, how do you feel about it?"

"As I was in charge of the Supervision Department, I didn't imagine that any alien force could penetrate into Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Please forgive me for my carelessness, Your Majesty!" Xia Yangming said shamefully, "Now that Dark Emperor Immortal Palace is already exposed to the public, I feel that we might have a try. If we could solve this problem in this way without arousing the turmoil in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, then why not!"

"Elder Xia, you've agreed with me?"

"Yes!"

"That's great!" Zhang Tie instantly turned solemn as he glanced over all the others at present. Finally, he fixated onto Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu as his eyes turned sharp at once, "Now that Elder Xia has already agreed, when will you leave Dragon Emperor Big Domain, Elder Xia, Elder Shi?"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the air above the viewing platform became frozen at once as everyone else was shocked…

Chapter 1791: Unveiling the Truth

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu's eyes shone out of shock. Closely after that, the two cunning guys looked surprised and furious.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" Xia Yangming goggled at Zhang Tie out of fury as if he had suffered great insult and grievance, saying, "I'm always loyal to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Your Majesty, are you doubting me as a member of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace?"

"Before Your Majesty became Dragon Emperor, there was some conflict between my disciple and Your Majesty. From then on, I have known that Your Majesty must have a preconception about me. Your Majesty, if you dislike me, just tell me that straightforwardly. I will leave the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace voluntarily. Why do you put me on the spot…" Shi Zhongyu sighed with a distressed look and said, "Your Majesty, if you're cracking a joke, you've gone too far. Your Majesty, do you know how big trouble would your words arouse if it was exposed to the public?"

The other elders looked at Zhang Tie, then Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu. Closely after that, they all became confused as they didn't know whom to believe.

Even elders were perplexed, not to mention those departments. At the same time, smart ones among them realized that Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai might also have a problem if Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu belonged to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace.

If Zhang Tie was talking about something ordinary, the other elders must have believed him at once. However, this thing was too shocking. Additionally, the moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace that Zhang Tie accused were elders like them of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace whom they were familiar with. Therefore, they all became confused. If someone was involved with Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, he would become the target for all humans in Motian Realm. Even Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace would not let him go.

'Did Zhang Tie want to kill them with this excuse?' Such a whim occurred to some elders at once; however, it wavered at once; because it was groundless. Zhang Tie had already established his authority in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the elders didn't pose any threat to him at all. Additionally, there was no sharp contradiction between Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu and Zhang Tie at all.

In an instant, the air over the viewing platform seemed to freeze.

Zhang Tie shook his head. If Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu could confess their real identities and take away their lackeys in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie would really allow them to leave here. He didn't want to make Dragon Emperor the frontline of the war between humans and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace at all. However, Zhang Tie realized that the two people would never admit that until death. Additionally, as Dark Emperor Immortal Palace intended to annex Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Even if their conspiracy was exposed, they would never accept their failure.

"Actually the old man has long noticed that something was wrong with you the moment he returned to Dragon Emperor City!" Zhang Tie watched Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu in a despicable manner as his words and expression were stabbing the two people like invisible swords. The words "old man" had already shaken their resolution. "Do you know why the old man didn't kill you at that moment?'

Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu kept their mouths closed. At this moment, if any one of them was low-witted, he might have asked why. However, the two elders had seen the world. Of course, they could never make such a joke at this critical moment.

Zhang Tie didn't expect them to answer him at all; instead, he continued, "I didn't understand it either at the beginning. Later on, I realized that the old man still treasured the past relationship between you and him. He didn't want to kill you the moment he came back in case that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace became the laughingstock across Motian Realm. Therefore, he handed me the right to dispose of you. He was sparing an opportunity for you. Additionally, the old man had seen through that you've got some problem; however, he was confused about the thing in your mind sea either. As he had not seen that before, he was not sure about its potential danger. Therefore, he didn't hurt you. After Dark Emperor Immortal's conspiracy was exposed, I understood it at once. If Dark Emperor Immortal Palace wanted to annex Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they only need to control one or two puppets among the elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Finally, they would let the puppets take charge of the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace aboveboard. In that way, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would cease to exist except in name. It would completely become subordinate to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. This is the best way for Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to control Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace at the least cost. Not until then did I understand who have you really relied on and why didn't you launch a strike to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace by force!"

"Your Majesty, you're giving a dog a bad name and hanging it…" Xia Yangming let out a deep sigh.

Shi Zhongyu's face turned gloomy as he took a look at the "Four-Image Heavenly Battle Formation". Closely after that, his eye corners slightly twitched. By then, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu finally understood why Zhang Tie took them here to watch the drill of Dragon Teeth Army. This was evidently a trap. As long as they fell into it, they would barely come out.

Zhang Tie ignored Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu; instead, he faced the other elders, saying, "Please think about it. Before the old man came back, who posed that anyone who promoted to a supreme-level immortal general first could take over Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?"

After being warned by Zhang Tie, these elders were shocked at once as they appeared to have understood the truth.

"Your Majesty, I remember that it's Elder Shi who posed it when we were talking about it…" Long Jiutian said as instantly moved one step back and gazed at Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, being alert. He almost released his protective battle qi.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to kill us? How could you frame Elder Xia and me without any evidence?" Shi Zhongyu suddenly provoked as he took a look at the other elders, saying, "I'm afraid that you would be the next!"

"It's easy to prove it. Elder Xia, Elder Shi, as long as you feel no shame, you could let me examine your mind sea right in front of the other elders. It' said that Golden-Soul Rune Virus is in one's mind sea. If you're innocent, I will apologize to you by kowtowing to you right in front of the others…" Zhang Tie said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, go ahead…" Xia Yangming replied as he shrugged.

Zhang Tie sneered as he moved one step forward and reached out his hand towards Xia Yangming's head.

An emergency broke out abruptly…

Before Zhang Tie's hand touched Xia Yangming's head, Shi Zhongyu suddenly squinted his eyes as he stomped onto the ground.

Boom…

In a split second, like a pile of alchemist's bombs blew up under the viewing platform, a berserk battle qi surged out of the ground and shot thousands of meters away, collapsing the entire viewing platform into powder at once. Even the nearby hillside collapsed heavily.

However, Zhang Tie had long taken precautions against that.

Zhang Tie had already punched out his fist the moment Shi Zhongyu launched a strike. His Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist turned into a berserk dragon which immediately covered Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu, Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai…

Chapter 1792: The Start of the Battle

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Trash would not go into trash can themselves. Therefore, Zhang Tie had long taken precautions against the resistance of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.

The battle broke out in a split second. Zhang Tie punched Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu, Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai using Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist, which clearly demarcated friends from enemies.

Zhang Tie didn't launch a sneak attack; instead, it was an aboveboard attack. Before his punch qi arrived, the four people had already released their protective battle qi. Therefore, Zhang Tie's punch didn't inflict heavy losses on the four people. He just separated them so that the four people could not join hands. That was also Zhang Tie's purpose.

Among the four people, 2 of them were semi-sage level knights while the other 2 were heavenly knights. They were all top powers in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Of course, they could not be easily defeated. Zhang Tie separated them by punch so that they could be defeated respectively here. With the large battle formation of Dragon Teeth Army, the other elders and presidents, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace definitely had an absolute advantage.

Before Shi Zhongyu stomped onto the ground, all the other elders and presidents on the viewing deck had flown off and were ready for the fight. At the same time, the four-image heavenly battle formation declined and blocked all the routes of escape in the air and on the ground. They planned to catch the four turtles in the jar.

"What shrewd enemies…" Long Jiutian roared as he charged at Tang Shenghou the president of Immortal Generals Department who had been sent flying backward by Zhang Tie's punch.

Ying Gucheng's battle qi rushed into the sky as he reached his huge hand towards Huo Xianlai in the image of a huge mountain like how an eagle caught a rabbit.

The other three elders Luo Yunshang, Hou Moyuan and Wang Laisheng shone all over as they took out their own immortal outfits and prepared to siege Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu. The five people were in a brawl immediately.

Although Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were powerful, they didn't gain the upper hand at all.

After realizing what had happened, Guan Minjun the president of Earth-Treasures Department, Xue Zhongkai the president of Heavenly Craftsmanship Department and Ji Hongtao the president of Military Department also joined the siege of Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai.

As the light flashed, Zhang Tie took out that secret item mace weighing over 4,000 kg that he got from the red and blue devils. Closely after that, he charged at Huo Xianlai.

"Elder Ying, take the other presidents back to Dragon Emperor City to stabilize the situation facing Dragon Emperor City. After we start this battle, the followers of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor City would be alert for sure. Don't let those people cause more troubles in Dragon Emperor City. I and the other elders will be in charge of the battle here…"

Zhang Tie told Ying Gucheng and the other three presidents using his battle qi before joining the battle for besieging Huo Xianlai.

After receiving Zhang Tie's order, Ying Gucheng, Guan Minjun, Xue Zhongkai and Ji Hongtao flew away at once. Not until then did they notice that Zhang Tie could fly freely in the air without metal wings. Ying Gucheng instantly realized something as he exclaimed, "Ah, Your Majesty has already promoted to a wind immortal general…"

Zhang Tie burst into laughter as he brandished his mace towards Huo Xianlai…

After taking 1,800 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs, Zhang Tie's physical strength had increased over 128 tons. Plus the terrifying strength of Zhang Tie's original body, Zhang Tie's physical strength had already reached over 300 tons in total. After gaining 1/2 immortal strength, Zhang Tie's physical strength increased three times on the basis of 300 tons. It meant that Zhang Tie's overall physical strength had already exceeded 900 tons. That was an abnormal level!

The mace weighing over 4,000 kg was already a heavy weapon in the eyes of the others; however, in Zhang Tie's hand, this silver item was as light as a straw.

Therefore, without using kinetic strike skill, the mace had lit the air wherever it passed, turning itself into a huge burning torch. When the air in front of the mace faced a great press, it was lit and gave out a glow. At the same time, the air behind the mace became a vacuum, causing the cracking sound of broken steel bars.

People saw the fierce flames caused by the mace, also the moving trajectory of the mace.

At the sight of this strike, Huo Xianlai who could barely withstand Ying Gucheng's attack changed his face at once. With a growl, he hurriedly intended to block Zhang Tie's terrifying strike with his weapon.

Huo Xianlai was using a flexible judge's pen. On other occasions, it might feel very imposing fighting others with this judge's pen. However, on this occasion, what this judge's pen to Zhang Tie's mace was what a pair of chopsticks to a huge ax.

Huo Xianlai suffered a great loss in a split second.

After his judge's pen was easily broken by Zhang Tie's mace, the place between Huo Xianlai's thumb and index finger instantly cracked and started bleeding heavily. After that, Zhang Tie directly hit Huo Xianlai's protective battle qi by his mace.

After spurting out blood, Huo Xianlai was directly hit onto the ground from the air, causing a big pit on the ground.

Ying Gucheng and the other three presidents became dumbfounded as they goggled at Zhang Tie like watching a monster. They all noticed how Zhang Tie launched his first strike. He didn't even use any battle qi or skill. He was just using his extremely terrifying physical strength to inflict a heavy loss to Huo Xianlai with the help of his mace in an overwhelming manner.

Since Zhang Tie ruled Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, it was the first time for the elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to sense Zhang Tie's terrifying battle strength from such a short distance. Everyone was shocked as their hearts raced.

Holding the huge mace, Zhang Tie was indeed like an unrivaled emperor——that got to be Dragon Emperor!

"Hurry up…" Zhang Tie woke up Ying Gucheng and the other three presidents as they hurriedly flew towards Dragon Emperor City. Watching the four people flying towards the edge, the four-image heavenly battle formation opened a gap, allowing them to exit.

"One more…" Watching Huo Xianlai flying out of the big pit, Zhang Tie licked his lips as he charged at him again. When Huo Xianlai changed his face greatly, Zhang Tie had brandished his mace again like how a hungry tiger charged at a sheep…

Chapter 1793: Multi-pronged

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

When Zhang Tie launched a strike, the forces that he had arranged in the Forbidden City and the Dragon Emperor City took actions too.

Even those elders and presidents didn't know that the 300 immortal generals of Dragon Teeth Army that Zhang Tie arranged to protect the production of Dragon Emperor Medicament in Cloudriver Castle had already returned to the Forbidden City silently when Zhang Tie and they watched the large battle formation of Dragon Teeth Army.

The 300 immortal generals were divided into three teams. Leng Manxue led one team of 200 immortal generals to the five major departments when Zhang Tie started the battle. Liu Yong and Liu Wu respectively led a team of 50 immortal generals to confiscate the properties of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu in their private residences.

At the same time, under the leadership of Xu Gang, all the soldiers in Dragon Emperor City had left their camps and started to maintain order and impose a curfew inside the city.

In an instant, the entire Dragon Emperor City was filled with thunder-like clip-clops as soldiers and flying urans could be seen everywhere across the city. Dragon Emperor City was in an emergency.

…

"At the order of His Majesty, we're catching rebels in Dragon Emperor City and Forbidden City. Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu, Tang Shenghou and Huo Xianlai have betrayed Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. From now on, all the people across the five major departments should stick to your own positions. Nobody is allowed to leave. If there's anyone who dares violate this order or cast spells on people, all the immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could join hands to kill them…"

Leng Manxue in metal outfits was in the air above the five major departments with a dragon-pattern token in hand as her clear and indifferent voice spread over each nook and corner of the five major departments.

200 immortal generals of Dragon Teeth Army had already formed a heavenly and earthly battle formation using formation beads and surrounded the five major departments of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Of course, there were more than 200 immortal generals in total in the five major departments. However, these immortal generals didn't have formation beads; additionally, not all of them were under the control of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu. Therefore, the 200 immortal generals of Dragon Teeth Army could definitely stabilize the situation facing the five major departments.

After hearing Leng Manxue's warning, all the immortal generals of the five major departments were shocked and confused. They didn't know why the entire Forbidden City suddenly started to hunt rebels. Even so, most of the immortal generals followed the order instinctively and stuck to their own positions.

"Don't believe her. His Majesty is in trouble. Dragon Teeth Army and some elders had already rebelled Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. His Majesty, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu and some presidents were trapped in the camp of Dragon Teeth Army. Follow me out of here and save His Majesty, charge forward…"

Supervision Department and Immortal Generals Department suddenly became chaotic while more than 10 immortal generals suddenly broke out of the two departments. Some immortal generals in other major departments also propped up against them by stirring up trouble. They all wanted to break out of the five major departments. These immortal generals immediately collided fiercely with the 200 immortal generals under the leadership of Leng Manxue…

…

With loud sounds "bang…", the gates of Xia Mansion and Shi Mansion were broken into pieces while some servants who looked arrogant were thrown inside the gates while wailing and struggling…

At the same time, Liu Yong and Liu Meng rushed into Xia Mansion and Shi Mansion while brandishing their huge battle axes, followed by two teams of immortal generals.

The mansions of the elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were all in a prosperous region inside Dragon Emperor City, which was less than 3 miles away from each other. This saved a lot of trouble for Liu Yong and Liu Meng.

"At the order of His Majesty, we're going to investigate and confiscate the properties of Xia Mansion (Shi Mansion). Everyone in the mansion, kneel down! If any of you dare resist, you are dead…"

When they broke into the gates, Liu Yong and Liu Meng roared immediately so that the servants and neighbors of the two mansions could hear it clearly.

"Who the hell dares find trouble here? How could elder Xia…" A head of guards inside Xia Mansion rushed towards Liu Yong with a sword. Before he finished his words, he had been split into two halves by Liu Yong, spraying blood and guts over the ground…

Of course, an elder's private mansion would be guarded by immortal generals. However, only 3-5 fierce and earth immortal generals guarded an elder's private mansion in normal times. Therefore, a team of 50 immortal generals of Dragon Teeth Army was enough to crack down them.

…

"Search over each store of Xia Clan and Shi Clan…" Xu Gang sent an order while pointing at a store on a prosperous avenue in Dragon Emperor City by a horsewhip.

"Yes, sir…" Two teams of fierce fighters instantly rushed into a cloth store and a private bank. In a split second, the cloth store and the private bank were in chaos as all the bosses and waiters were bound and taken out of there…

…

The battle in the five major deparmtents of Forbidden City didn't last long.

All the immortal generals of the five major departments were something. Facing the different explanations of Leng Manxue and the immortal generals who wanted to break out of the five major departments, those immortal generals instantly knew which party was real——Leng Manxue was His Majesty's trusted subordinate who had the token of His Majesty. Dragon Teeth Army was also founded by His Majesty. Additionally, the head of the Dragon Teeth Army was Huang Baimei who was also His Majesty's trusted subordinate. On this occasion, how could Dragon Teeth Army and the trusted subordinates of His Majesty betray His Majesty? Apparently, those people who wanted to break out of the five major departments were telling a lie.

Combining the information from the presidents and elders who didn't rebel, the rest immortal generals of the five major departments instantly joined hands to kill 7-8 immortal generals who wanted to create chaos, and broke out of the five major departments. All the other immortal generals who wanted to escape were caught alive.

When Ying Gucheng arrived at the Forbidden City, the chaos had already been suppressed.

…

Inside the camp of Dragon Teeth Army, it only took Zhang Tie a few minutes to beat up Huo Xianlai who was also a heavenly knight with the mace weighing over 4,000 kg.

When Zhang Tie was a shadow knight, he had already been able to kill a demon heavenly knight, not to mention now. Even though Zhang Tie didn't trigger his kinetic strike skill, he could still defeat Huo Xianlai for sure.

Whenever Zhang Tie brandished his mace towards Huo Xianlai, it would feel like an overwhelming mountain. As a result, Huo Xianlai could only try his best to resist Zhang Tie's strike in butting heads.

Zhang Tie's physical strength was too terrifying; additionally, his speed was faster than that of Huo Xianlai. As a result, Huo Xianlan couldn't even dodge his strike; nor escape away. On this occasion, Huo Xianlai would spurt out blood whenever he withstood Zhang Tie's strike…

Chapter 1794: In High Spirits

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

As for Huo Xianlai, Zhang Tie's mace was his nightmare. With Zhang Tie's great physical strength, crit and armor-breaking effect of his mace, each of his strike could almost break Huo Xianlai's protective battle qi.

As for Zhang Tie, Huo Xianlai was the first opponent to fight with him since he entered Motian Realm.

In the beginning, Zhang Tie was very thrilled as he couldn't wait to shatter Huo Xianlai into pieces by mace. However, only after a short while, Zhang Tie's excitement had gradually faded away.

It was not because Zhang Tie had lost his battle ardor but he found that this heavenly knight couldn't make him feel thrilled in the combat anymore.

As for other immortal generals, Huo Xianlai was very powerful; however, as for Zhang Tie, he was not even a qualified training partner.

It was not at the bank of Weishui River but in Motian Realm. Given the battle strength, Huo Xianlai was not weaker than the first demon heavenly knight that Zhang Tie had killed. However, Zhang Tie had become much more powerful. Therefore, he was just average in Zhang Tie's eyes.

As for Zhang Tie, the combat between him and Huo Xianlai was just a warm-up.

After the warm-up, Zhang Tie didn't waste time anymore. After saying "It's enough", Zhang Tie made a kinetic strike from such a short distance towards Huo Xianlai's strike. The terrifying energy of his mace was released the moment it hit Huo Xianlan's protective battle qi.

This strike was at least 3 times more powerful than all the previous strikes of Zhang Tie.

As a result, Huo Xianlai's protective battle qi was broken into pieces in a split second. Besides, 1/3rd of Huo Xianlai's bones were broken into pieces. Like a baseball, Huo Xianlai was sent flying into the large battle formation of Dragon Teeth Army while spurting out blood.

Zhang Tie directly handed it to Dragon Teeth Army for their initial practice.

As the large battle formation being composed of more than 1,000 immortal generals were watching them, Zhang Tie thought that he should at least spare a chance for Dragon Teeth Army to make some meritorious deed so as to award them in the future!

After sending Huo Xianlai into the large battle formation, Zhang Tie wuthered and joined the battle between Luo Yunshang, Hou Moyuan, Wang Laisheng and Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu. The battle had long turned white-hot. Before Zhang Tie solved Huo Xianlai, Xia Yangming finally used his trump card——semi-sage level realm as he opened a blue light curtain which covered Luo Yunshang, Hou Moyuan, Wang Laisheng and Shi Zhongyu in a split second.

At the sight of this scene, Zhang Tie was afraid that the three elders might be in danger; therefore, he hurriedly solved Huo Xianlai and entered the semi-sage level realm of Xia Yangming.

Zhang Tie had already seen Meng Shidao's semi-sage level realm in Xuanyuan Hill. At that time, the semi-sage level realm was an unattainable existence for Zhang Tie which he could only look up to. At this moment, in Zhang Tie's opinion, the semi-sage level realm was just ordinary; it was just the embryonic form of the sage-level realm. Although being powerful, it was not invincible.

When Zhang Tie entered the semi-sage realm, Long Jiutian had just broken Tang Shenghou's protective battle qi and hit his head, causing him to pass out. Closely after that, Long Jiutian sent Tang Shenghou into the large battle formation of Dragon Teeth Army.

As these people were the powers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they should stay alive so that they could expose Dark Emperor Immortal Palace's arrangement in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

…

Zhang Tie saw a wave of grim and icy, huge billows rolling towards him together with numerous terrifying sea monsters as if they were going to devour him.

In the distance, Xia Yangming was standing on the clouds while being surrounded by billows. Numerous sea monsters came out of the billows beside him and rushed towards Luo Yunshang, Hou Moyuan and Wang Laisheng. Shi Zhongyu was flying around Xia Yangming as he coordinated with the latter to attack Luo Yunshang, Hou Moyuan and Wang Laisheng.

Watching Zhang Tie and Long Jiutian breaking in, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu changed their faces at once.

"Break…" Zhang Tie roared as loud as a rumble of thunder as he brandished his mace towards the huge billows. The powerful kinetic strike carried over 2000 billion Joule energy and hot, flaming impact wave, which directly vaporized and shattered all the billows and sea monsters that charged at Zhang Tie.

The huge billows and sea monsters were made of the four elements of the universe, which were neither real or virtual. Of course, such a strike couldn't threaten Zhang Tie a bit facing Zhang Tie's powerful kinetic strike.

More than that, the impact wave of the kinetic strike rocked the entire semi-sage level realm.

By then, Zhang Tie realized this mace was too light again. Such a light mace could be used to deal with average heavenly knights; however, facing the realm of a semi-sage level knight, Zhang Tie felt whipping a berserk buffalo by a rice straw. If this mace could be 10 times heavier, the former kinetic strike could be 10 times more powerful too, in which situation, Zhang Tie felt that he could directly break this semi-sage realm.

In the semi-sage realm, Zhang Tie flew straight towards Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu like an arrow while the gloomy and icy billows continued to attack Zhang Tie from all directions. The moment they were close to Zhang Tie, the huge billows would become icebergs which wanted to crush Zhang Tie. Before that, numerous sea monsters and specters had already flown out of the billows and rushed towards Zhang Tie like thousands upon thousands of horses and soldiers on the battlefield.

In a split second, the place where Zhang Tie was had become the core region of the entire semi-sage realm while the greater part of the battle force of the realm crushed pushed towards Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was blocked by layer upon layer of icebergs which looked like sharp sabers and swords while those sea monsters and specters submerged Zhang Tie with weapons in claws like torrential sands…

Chapter 1795: Trump Cards

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Dense sabers and enemies were Zhang Tie's favorite. Facing the attack in the semi-sage level realm, Zhang Tie became excited again.

The over 2,000 kg mace became Zhang Tie's most solid shield and most powerful spear.

Zhang Tie combined his speed and strength perfectly.

Bang…

A heavy impact wave exploded next to Zhang Tie while the overwhelming icebergs and numerous aquatic specters became bubbles charging at high-speed huge steel wheel. They were broken into pieces by Zhang Tie's mace the moment they came into contact with his protective battle qi. Some specters had been shattered by the great impact waves from Zhang Tie's mace before they approached Zhang Tie.

No matter how many sabers, specters and obstacles of four elements were in the semi-sage level realm, Zhang Tie would not stop even for a second.

Being besieged by numerous enemies, Zhang Tie made his way through all the obstacles and advanced forth like a giant icebreaker sailing in the ocean. All the obstacles in front of Zhang Tie were cleared in a split second.

At this moment, thousands of meters high iceberg moved rapidly towards Zhang Tie. He had to face it as it was the most powerful strike of Xia Yangming in his semi-sage level realm.

"Break…" Zhang Tie roared as he released a powerful kinetic strike by brandishing his mace. In a split second, the entire iceberg was vaporized. Even the tens of thousands of specters who were baring fangs and brandishing claws within dozens of meters were shattered. Besides, the great impact wave of his strike caused the semi-sage level realm to tremble.

Under the gaze of those elders and the two traitors of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie instantly cleared all the obstacles.

After clearing all the obstacles, Zhang Tie rushed straight towards Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, leaving a fiery line in the air in an overwhelming manner. He intended to decapitate the two semi-sage level knights in this semi-sage level realm among such a large army of enemies.

Watching Zhang Tie, who was approaching him at such a high speed, Xia Yangming's eyes shone as he made a finger gesture and launched another strike towards Zhang Tie, roaring, "Freeze…"

In an instant, all the billows around Zhang Tie disappeared. Closely after that, they all turned into drizzles. The drizzles then became snowflakes and icicles. Finally, icicles turned into numerous arrows and shot towards Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie didn't even dodge it; instead, he just prevented such a strike using his protective battle qi as he continued to advance towards Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.

On this occasion, Zhang Tie finally seized the opportunity to show off his protective battle qi. His protective battle qi was like an iron tortoiseshell which would only slightly shake facing the strikes of those icicles. Zhang Tie just defended the shocks and impact waves using his protective battle qi.

When numerous icicles approached Zhang Tie, the temperature around Zhang Tie dropped to a terrifying low degree as layers of hard ice crystals appeared in front of Zhang Tie like glass, which intended to prevent Zhang Tie from moving forward.

However, Zhang Tie ignored that; instead, he continued to rush straight towards them.

Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu finally changed their faces as they didn't understand why Zhang Tie was not scared of such a strike. If it were other heavenly knights, they had long been subdued. Even fire immortal generals couldn't deal with it easily.

They didn't know that Zhang Tie's battle qi was limitless. With the sufficient supply of powerful battle qi, any damage to his protective battle qi could be fixed in a split second. Even though he was imitating World Shocking Sutra usingKing Roc Sutra , he could still maintain unprecedented, constant protective battle qi with his endless powerful battle qi.

The shock and waves of his protective battle qi would cause some stress and impact on his body. However, Zhang Tie's body had long been pretty strong and had a superb resilience; not to mention that Zhang Tie's resilience was enhanced by 15% after gaining 1/2 immortal strength body.

As for the freezing effect, it was more like a joke for him. With a waterproof body, Zhang Tie's resistance to cold had long improved a few times.

With such effects, the powerful strike that even fire immortal generals could barely stand was like scratching an itch for Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie's real power scared Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.

Even Grand Dragon Emperor didn't have such an exaggerated battle strength when he was a wind immortal general.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yunshang and the other elders who had just rushed into this semi-sage level realm were in high spirits in a split second.

Zhang Tie's performance had completely refreshed his image in the hearts of the other elders. Besides inventing Dragon Emperor Medicament, he even set a trap to find the moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Additionally, all the elders were shocked by his performance in this battle. Being valiant and smart, Zhang Tie knew how to use carrot and stick. His means, intelligence and battle strength were all remarkable in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Those elders almost saw the bright future of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace under the leadership of Zhang Tie.

It could be said that Zhang Tie was not really accepted as the new Dragon Emperor by the elders until today.

After seeing Zhang Tie's advantage, all the other elders became spirited. Luo Yunshang and the other two elders also joined hands to break their obstacles and approached Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu from another direction.

As Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were facing 4 semi-sage level knights and Zhang Tie at the same time, Xia Yangming's semi-sage level realm started to shake and lose stability.

In the blink of an eye, the two traitors were going to be besieged by Zhang Tie and the other elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

All of a sudden, Shi Zhongyu's face turned solemn as a brilliant golden light appeared in his hand. It was a classic sword. Being scarlet all over, it must be a rarity with strong fierce qi.

At the sight of this sword, the others instantly changed their faces. Long Jiu Tian's eyes turned red as he roared, "You did that…"

"Watch out, they got the Earth-River Vehicle too. They're going to escape…" Luo Yunshang exclaimed out of fury and shock.

Zhang Tie knew nothing about that sword in Shi Zhongyu's hand. However, due to his instinctive feeling, Zhang Tie knew that it was a rarity. Its qi was different than all the silver secret swords that Zhang Tie had ever used. Precisely, it was similar to that of Heavenly-Measuring Ruler that Immortal Heavenly Chaos once used. It contained an irresistible, fierce qi and an unrivaled sharpness that could shatter everything.

That sword was a golden secret item!

At this moment, Zhang Tie who was breaking through various obstacles and moving forward was only fewer than 50,000 m away from Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.

With a sword in hand, Shi Zhongyu fixated onto Zhang Tie with a fleer…

"Watch out, Your Majesty…" the other elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace roared furiously in unison.

Zhang Tie instantly took out a shield which was a silver secret item. Closely after that, Shi Zhongyu's face turned red as he slashed his sword towards Zhang Tie.

Without feeling sword qi or earth-shaking momentum, Zhang Tie felt a strong qi approaching him in a split second. Zhang Tie instantly clashed his shield on it while changing his body position.

The shield was instantly cut into two halves as it turned into a huge cyan tortoise with a bloody scar on its shell. The huge tortoise wailed as it immediately lurked in the void above Zhang Tie's qi sea.

Being not weakened even a bit, the sword qi collided with Zhang Tie's mace. Under the powerful thrust, Zhang Tie was sent flying 10,000 m away in the air. Even a sword mark was left on his irresistible mace.

Whereas, before Zhang Tie made any response, all of a sudden, the entire semi-sage level realm shattered into pieces like being blown up, causing it misty all over. The berserk four elements lowered the visibility to zero in an instant; especially water element which spread over like a flood. In the powerful turbulent flows of four elements, even Zhang Tie could fly freely. Therefore, he could only protect himself from being swept away by the turbulent flows using his protective battle qi…

Although being still, Zhang Tie kept a close eye on Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.

With lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie saw a golden light surrounding Xia Yangming the moment the semi-sage level realm was blown up. In the golden light, there was a 7-8 m long bizarre item in the shape of a huge conch with spirals on its surface. The conch was broad in the middle and sharp on two ends. Closely after that, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu hid inside. Then, the bizarre item lurked in the ground and disappeared.

'F*ck! I've not imagined that Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu could do that. Semi-sage level knights are really something.'

Zhang Tie mobilized Dragon Teeth Army to form a large battle formation so that the two people couldn't escape. Unimaginably, the two traitors escaped by disappearing into the ground…

Chapter 1796: Zhang Tie's Decision

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The powerful turbulent flow of four elements came and went fast and fiercely.

In less than half a minute, all the turbulent flows of elements had disappeared. As a result, Zhang Tie and the other elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace reappeared in the sky above the camp of Dragon Teeth Army. They were still surrounded by the rigorous Dragon Teeth Army. However, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu had already disappeared.

Zhang Tie advanced to the ground at once.

Just now, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu drilled into the ground just right below the viewing platform. However, there was not any hole on the ground at all.

The other elders also landed beside Zhang Tie as they gazed at the earth with complex looks. Long Jiu Tian was infuriated as he fiercely punched at the ground, causing a huge pit.

"What method did Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu use just now?" Zhang Tie asked the other elders in a muffled voice.

"They were previously earth-level rarities of Earth-Treasures Department of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Shi Zhongyu's sword is called Heavenly-Separation Sword while Xia Yangming's item is Earth-River Vehicle…"

"I've never heard about that?"

"Because the two items have already lost in an accident over 7 decades ago!" Luo Yunshang watched the pit with deep fury and unwillingness. The other elders also revealed complex expressions.

"Can you make it clear?"

"The two rarities were gained by the former Dragon Emperor from the Mountain Ruins. Previously, the two items were collected in Dragon Emperor's Pavilion. Later on, as the former Dragon Emperor didn't come back for so many years and the two rarities were too eye-catching, elders determined to transfer the two rarities into a secret warehouse of Earth-Treasures Department through discussion for the sake of safety. A team of immortal generals was especially responsible for guarding them. Commoners could barely touch them. However, 7 decades ago, Earth-Treasures Department had an accident. The two rarities were stolen away. Besides, all the 60-odd immortal generals who were responsible for guarding the two rarities were killed…"

"Ah? That's a big accident. But why I haven't heard about it in Heavenly Square City?" Zhang Tie asked with a frown.

"This event was a big shame for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. We all knew that the two rarities were robbed away. However, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had almost collapsed. For the sake of the fame of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, we kept this accident a secret. We could only investigate it secretly in vain. Over these years, we especially paid attention to the two rarities; however, we never saw anyone use them. We even thought that they had fallen in the hands of demons. Unimaginably, it was Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu who robbed them. It seems that the two people have long got evil intents and ambitions…"

"What're the features of Heavenly-Separation Sword and Earth-River Vehicle?"

"Heavenly-Separation Sword is very powerful and sharp. Within 100,000 m, it could easily tear human-level outfits and one's protective battle qi. It's known as the conqueror of human-level outfits and protective battle qi. When the former Dragon Emperor gained Heavenly-Separation Sword, he barely used it because of its strong lethality. Earth-River Vehicle is used to travel into the ground. As long as it's started, it would be able to traverse freely into the ground even faster than common immortal generals in metal wings. If you don't block it before it enters the ground, even immortal emperors couldn't catch up with it. Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu might have already traveled tens of thousands of meters into the ground by Earth-River Vehicle…"

'As long as it enters into the ground, the ground would be the best shield. Also, high-level immortal generals could fly in the sky, nobody could fly into the ground. Even I could only travel a short distance inside the ground by some means. But I could never match the golden secret item.'

Zhang Tie nodded as he listened to Luo Yunshang's explanation. After that, he took a look at the deep scar on his mace as he felt terrified of Shi Zhongyu's strike using Heavenly-Separation Sword. "Now that Heavenly-Separation Sword is so powerful, why didn't Shi Zhongyu kill all of us using it?"

"Although Heavenly-Separation Sword is powerful, it requires enormous battle qi to drive it. The former Dragon Emperor said that even supreme-level immortal generals could barely use it for a long period of time. Average fire immortal generals could barely brandish Heavenly-Separation Sword for 4-5 times. The Grand Dragon Emperor said Heavenly-Separation Sword was suitable for assassination. Instead of being used on the battlefield, it was more suitable for sneak attacks. On many occasions, people who used it should kill their enemy instantly before escaping away…"

"What about Earth-River Vehicle? How to drive it?"

"Earth-River Vehicle should also be driven by battle qi. But it doesn't need too much battle qi. As long as the driver's battle qi is not exhausted, he would be able to travel into the ground by Earth-River Vehicle constantly. Given Xia Yangming's battle strength, he could at least travel for a few days by Earth-River Vehicle, during which period, he could even leave the territory of Dragon Emperor's Big Domain or lurk somewhere or directly stay underground…"

After checking out the backgrounds of the two rarities, Zhang Tie instantly made a decision as he told those elders, "Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu betrayed Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. They even killed the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for the two rarities. Their sins should never be forgiven. We should never let them go. Now that the two people have already exposed their real identities, they must have henchmen in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. During this period, elders, please go back to Dragon Emperor City and clean up the two people's henchmen in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace so as to stabilize the overall situation facing Dragon Emperor Big Domain in case of other conspiracies of the two people. You could determine everything about Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace through discussion!"

"Ah, where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu have already exposed their real identities. As they're crystal clear about Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, if not eliminate them, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would never be peaceful. Therefore… thank you so much…"

After exchanging a glance with each other, those elders bowed towards Zhang Tie together, saying, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we swear to take care of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for you…"

Zhang Tie nodded silently. Closely after that, he flew towards northwest after passing the large battle formation of Dragon Teeth Army.

Seeing Zhang Tie off, all the elders thought Zhang Tie was looking for the "old man" to deal with Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu. Therefore, they all became reassured. Then, they rushed in the sky at the same time and returned to Dragon Emperor City to clean up the henchmen of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu…

Chapter 1797: The Start of the Chaos

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

After Zhang Tie flew towards the northwest of Dragon Emperor City for 6,000 miles and got out of the sight of everyone, Zhang Tie entered the thick clouds. Closely after that, he triggered his invisible shen bead and master-level hiding skill at the same time. Closely after that, he directly disappeared and couldn't be discovered by anybody else.

Of course, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were escaping to the southeast of Dragon Emperor City; instead of the northwest. In the beginning, they indeed moved towards the northwest. However, after traveling 5,000 m, they suddenly made a turn and escaped to the southeast.

Even though those elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn't sense their traces any more, the two people's whereabouts were as eye-catching as burning torches in the dark. After confirming their identities, Zhang Tie had long left some tracing feathers on them in case of emergency.

Zhang Tie never took anybody lightly, not to mention that Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were both semi-sage level knights who had high positions in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Such powers always hid their trump cards until the last moment. Therefore, Zhang Tie was always careful.

The fact proved that Zhang Tie's precautions were pretty correct.

When they were in dilemma, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu indeed showed their trump cards for the sake of safety.

Perhaps the two people had got such a plan when Xia Yangming released his semi-sage realm. Given the effect of the automatic explosion of the semi-sage realm, it was just used to delay Zhang Tie and those elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Since Xia Yangming released his semi-sage realm, they had been ready to escape. However, they still pretended to fight to death. That got to be really cunning seniors.

When Zhang Tie was not sure whether Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu had other henchmen in Dragon Emperor City, Zhang Tie purposefully chose a route which was opposite to the direction of the two people. Detail counted the most. If Zhang Tie chased after the two people in the same direction, as long as Zhang Tie's action direction was leaked to Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu by the other moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, the two people would instantly think that Zhang Tie might have left marks on them. In this way, it would be much more difficult for Zhang Tie to catch them in the future.

Details determined success or failure.

As Zhang Tie flew, he kept checking the silver secret item in his qi sea which was heavily broken by Heavenly-Separation Sword…

That shield had already manifested its original look——a huge tortoise. The tortoise hid its head and limbs into its shell. Floating in the void above his qi sea quietly, the tortoise had a deep wound on its back, which almost split it into two halves.

Zhang Tie attempted to call it; however, the huge tortoise didn't respond at all as if it was in hibernation. Zhang Tie even tried to inject his battle qi and spiritual energy into the huge tortoise's body only to receive no response.

It was Zhang Tie's first time to meet such a situation. In Taixia Country, he had not heard that silver secret items could be broken; let alone fixing them. Realizing that he couldn't recover the original body of the secret item, Zhang Tie gave it up.

Silver secret items were precious. However, Zhang Tie had a lot of shields, which were all used to deal with extreme situations.

Being invisible, it only took Zhang Tie a few minutes to catch up with the two people who were escaping by Earth-River Vehicle into the ground at a high speed. With the help of tracing feathers, Zhang Tie kept a straight distance of over 150 miles with the two people in the sky. Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu could never imagine that they had been precisely targeted by Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie just followed them like how a hunter traced his prey. Meanwhile, he was waiting for opportunities to catch them. Zhang Tie believed that the two people would not stay underground forever. As long as they came out of the ground, Zhang Tie would be able to find an opportunity to catch them.

It was just a matter of patience.

…

On April 3rd, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace delivered the wanted circular of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu the former elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, which was the first wanted circular of elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. In the wanted circular, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace disclosed the fact that the two people were under the control of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. The entire Motian Realm was shocked the moment this wanted circular was delivered. Closely after that, the issue of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace began to heat up again.

Nobody could imagine that the most high-level moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were caught in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace first when Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace were still doubting whether there were moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in their systems.

When Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace delivered the wanted circular, they also disclosed a piece of key information to the entire Motian Realm——Dark Emperor Immortal Palace could enable immortal generals to breach the bloody pledge without suffering any damage.

Even an emperor-level immortal palace was penetrated by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace heavily and fire immortal general-level elders could become the puppets of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, not to mention the other inferior immortal palaces. How many immortal palaces dared say that they had more established systems than Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?

In a short period of time, all the human immortal palaces felt imperiled while all the dark forces were surging across the Motian Realm…

It was said that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace also caught many immortal generals in the five major departments of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace while hunting Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu. All the captives were henchmen of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, who might have been controlled by Golden-Soul Rune Virus.

After knowing this news, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace instantly dispatched powers and rune masters to Dragon Emperor Big Domain so that they could study the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in the heads of those captives. As of now, although the two immortal palaces had already confirmed the existence of Golden-Soul Rune Virus in Woods Middle Domain, they hadn't found experimental subjects yet. Golden-Soul Rune Virus could even barely be confirmed, not to mention being detoxified. After hearing that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had caught some alive immortal generals, of course, they would seize this opportunity. If they could work out a solution to confirm Golden-Soul Rune Virus, it would be much easier for them to deal with Dark Emperor Immortal Palace…

Pitifully, although Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal had a good plan, before their experts arrived at Dragon Emperor Big Domain, all the captives' heads had already blown up on the premise that they were controlled by Demon-Fixing Spike.

The clue of Golden-Soul Rune Virus was broken once again as the effect of Golden-Soul Rune Virus scared everyone…

The event of Dragon Emperor City soon reached the rest of Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Many branches of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace released information that some immortal generals had disappeared after April 3rd…

The entire Dragon Emperor Big Domain and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace soon entered a state of emergency. With elders on their back, the five presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace took actions separately as they were responsible for cleaning up all the henchmen of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu across Dragon Emperor Big Domain. As a result, the entire Dragon Emperor Big Domain was in chaos…

At that time, Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu and Zhang Tie disappeared like how a clay oxen entered the sea…

Chapter 1798: Hunting People

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

On the night of April 11, the 3586th year o Emperor NvWa's Calendar, a profound silence ensued all over. In the barren land being covered with yellow sands in the western border of Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

20 minutes ago, a team of immortal soldiers in metal wings of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had just flown over this region. The team of immortal soldiers belonged to the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Xiyuan City, who were closest to this region. They were making an inspection tour over this region at the order of the headquarters.

Recently, Dragon Emperor Big Domain was in an intense atmosphere as more and more wanted circulars were issued from Dragon Emperor City. Besides Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, more and more immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace who were suddenly missing recently were being wanted.

In only a few days, 24 people had been wanted by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. On the wanted circulars, all of their titles in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had been removed; instead, they were marked as the moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Therefore, each branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Big Domain started to take action after receiving the orders from the headquarters. Not only immortal generals and immortal soldiers were dispatched to investigate the traces of those missing immortal generals on the wanted list across Dragon Emperor Big Domain, but even civilians across Dragon Emperor Big Domain also started to take action. Plus powers of Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace, even Emperor NvWa's Palace who traveled a long way here to catch the missing immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal palace, the entire Dragon Emperor Big Domain had been covered with eyes and patrollers. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace even assigned people to pay a tour inspection over the western barren border.

To be honest, 5 of the 24 immortal generals were indeed caught after their traces were discovered.

However, after they were caught for a few hours, their heads had been blown up no matter how their abilities were limited, leaving no clues at all. Nobody could acquire any specimen of Golden-Soul Rune Virus from these captives.

However, Dragon Emperor Big Domain was too large; additionally, those being chased were all immortal generals. No matter how many immortal generals, immortal soldiers did Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace mobilize and how many external forces there poured in, they still couldn't monitor each inch of land across Dragon Emperor Big Domain. As time passed by, the remaining people on the wanted list were more impossible to be caught as the immortal generals could find more and more loopholes from the huge net set by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Many people guessed that Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu might have long left Dragon Emperor Big Domain in the past 10 days, just like the missing immortal generals of Si Clan in Woods Medium-sized Domain.

Across Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, perhaps only one person knew that Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu had not left Dragon Emperor Big Domain; instead, they were still waiting for an opportunity to leave there.

In the dark air, stars were sparkling as if a pair of mysterious and profound eyes were gazing at that patch of barren land.

After the immortal soldiers of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Xiyuan City inspected this region for 10 minutes, another airboat of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace passed by as an immortal general was glancing over the surrounding air territory with bright eyes.

After this airboat passed here for half an hour, with rustles, some sands slid away, revealing two pairs of shiny eyes, which started to glance over the tranquil sky.

"The next round of inspection would be 2 hours later. Let's leave now…"

"Hmm!"

After communicating with each other secretly, two people immediately rushed into the sky and flew westwards as fast as lightning bolts. In the blink of an eye, they had passed the territory of Dragon Emperor Big Domain and entered the dark clouds.

After 2 hours' flight in the clouds, they saw a large passenger airboat in the air which was also flying westwards. Closely after that, they left the clouds and hid themselves in the gap between some flying plates near the cloud rudder at the bottom of the airboat.

Due to the large size of this airboat, the gap between flying plates was wider than 0.5 m. Unless someone approached it and checked it, nobody could see them.

Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the other immortal palaces set the final net of immortal generals in the periphery of Dragon Emperor Big Domain in order to block those immortal generals from flying away from Dragon Big Domain independently. In only 1 day, this airboat had already passed through the last net safely and entered Brokenstars Ocean.

After 2 days' flight, at one night, when the airboat was meticulously driving in a safe channel of Brokenstars Ocean, the two people flew off the airboat and entered the endless and unpredictable Brokenstars Ocean.

As for commoners and airboats, Brokenstars Ocean was dangerous; however, as long as two semi-sage level knights didn't want to commit suicide, they would be safe and sound in this region. Actually, Brokenstars Ocean could be their best cover. Many criminals were gathering in Brokenstars Ocean to escape their punishments.

3 hours later, the two specters had already been thousands of miles deep in Brokenstars Ocean. They saw nobody on the way. Additionally, they caught two birds. After that, they entered a deserted mine of an air-floating mountain. Deep in the mine, they broke the birds' necks and drank their blood. Then, they rubbed their hands, setting a fire in the air and lighting some woods in the mine. After cooking the birds, they gulped them down before gradually being composed.

The burning woods caused light cracks every once a while while the sparkles and twisting flames reflected onto the dirty faces of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, causing their faces to look pretty gloomy; especially the bloodstains at their mouth corners and chins which made them a bit terrifying.

After over 10 days' escape, the two people finally got an opportunity to have a rest. As they couldn't use space-teleportation equipment for the time being, they didn't eat anything but the birds. Additionally, they were flurried like birds being startled by the mere twang of a bow-string. They were alert all the time in case the Grand Emperor showed up and killed them. Due to heavy mental and physical stress, the two former dignified elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace looked a bit embarrassed.

Zhang Tie was right. Soon after he left Dragon Emperor City, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu had received the news——Zhang Tie was looking for the "old man"'s help. When they recalled the powerful deeds of Grand Dragon Emperor when he came back last time, Xia Yangming's and Shi Zhongyu's hearts pounded heavily. Even though they could drill into the earth by Earth-River Vehicle, they still didn't feel safe at all; instead, they were so vigilant every day that they even dared not close their eyes for a nap.

After having a short rest, the two people gradually recovered their vitality. After being composed, when Shi Zhongyu recalled what he encountered these days, he became infuriated as he punched a piece of stone into pieces quietly. "I've not imagined that we could not succeed it. We were screwing others all the way; unexpectedly, we were screwed by Zhang Tie this time. I'm unreconciled…"

"As the disciple of Grand Dragon Emperor, Zhang Tie's tricks and intelligence are superb. We were too careless this time!" Xia Yangming heaved a deep sigh too, saying, "Previously I saw him being engrossed in cultivation in the Forbidden City without caring about the secular affairs and thought that he was as not interested in fame and politics. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie could use such a trick! We're trapped by him unconsciously that day. If not our trump cards, we might have long become specters!"

"His Majesty has spent such great efforts in annexing Dragon Emperor Immortal palace. Through this event, the force of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was almost cleaned up overnight. Will we be severely punished after coming back…"

"It's not our mistake. We never knew that someone could identify Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Therefore, I think His Majesty will not punish us this time. Otherwise, he would not let us escape to Brokenstars Ocean and wait for him somewhere. His Majesty has been planning to expand the territory of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace with the territory of Dragon Emperor Big Domain for long. His Majesty would never give it up…"

"Didn't His Majesty say that nobody could identify the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in our body?"

"Ordinary immortal generals couldn't identify it for sure; however, you've already seen that when the old man showed up that day. Who could imagine what amazing secret methods has the old man mastered over so many years? After all, he's an immortal emperor. The old man could even invent Dragon Emperor Medicament, not to mention discover us…"

"I've not imagined that Zhang Tie has already promoted to a wind immortal general. That's too fast. Additionally, he always kept the secret. He must have mastered a powerful cultivation method. Otherwise, he could not have promoted to a wind immortal general from a water immortal general in only a few years!" Shi Zhongyu said greedily, "When we meet His Majesty, I will definitely report it to His Majesty. Hopefully, His Majesty could catch Zhang Tie and get his secret cultivation method. According to the appointment between us and His Majesty, we could enjoy all the resources in Dragon Emperor Big Domain first, including the secret methods and immortal outfits that we acquire from it…"

"Let's talk about it later. I think this tumult will not be subsided in a short period of time. Dark Emperor Immortal Palace has already been exposed in Woods Medium-sized Domain. We're exposed too in Dragon Emperor Big Domain. All the three top emperor-level immortal palaces have been vigilant. I think even His Majesty couldn't do anything as easily as before!" Xia Yangming said as he squinted his eyes, revealing a shrewd expression, "As long as we could survive, we will have an opportunity to rejuvenate…"

"Hmm…"

"Let's take a rest. We're too tired after so many days' escape. It will be the 15th day of this month in 2 days. By then, we could use our space-teleportation equipment. After completely recovering our vitality and making some preparation, we will change a place to settle down. We shall not stay here too long!"

"Hmm…"

Shi Zhongyu replied as he closed his eyes in front of the bonfire, legs crossed. Only after a short while, his breath had become deep.

When they entered this mine, they set some spiritual marks near the entrance and on the road. If someone entered it, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu would know that immediately. Therefore, the two people gradually relaxed their nerves.

In the world, someone could become thieves for a long time; however, nobody could be vigilant against thieves all the way. Even though semi-sage level knights couldn't be vigilant all the way. After fierce battles and escape, they needed moderate rest too.

The flame gradually became dim. Finally, it died out, leaving some broken charcoal which was still giving out a faint glow in the pitch-dark pit. In the end, even the faint glow gradually faded away. The pit then became absolutely dark.

2 hours later, although the two semi-level knights remained vigilant and sensitive to the surroundings instinctively, they had been completely relaxed…

In such a state, thousands of kg mace suddenly showed up in the dark and hit Shi Zhongyu without any omen. At the same time, the light of deity-killing sword also shot into Xia Yangming's central forehead. Additionally, Zhang Tie's heavy hammer hit Xia Yangming too. Because Xi Yangming was relatively more powerful than Shi Zhongyu, Zhang Tie cared about him more…

The above strikes were visible. As for the invisible strike, Zhang Tie's shackle of chakra locked the two people's chakras at the same time.

Chapter 1799: Kill Two Birds with One Stone

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

A qualified hunter might spend a few months in chasing his prey after crossing mountains and rivers for thousands of miles. However, it was just the blink of an eye's time for him to trigger his weapon to kill his prey…

Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu could never imagine that they had been under Zhang Tie's gaze since they escaped by Earth-River Vehicle; especially after they came out of the underground. Zhang Tie kept a close eye on them within 100,000 m.

In this process, Zhang Tie had a few opportunities to launch a strike; however, he didn't.

At the border of Dragon Emperor Big Domain, Zhang Tie had an opportunity to launch a strike. However, as it was not far from Dragon Emperor Big Domain, if he started a battle there, the two people might continue to escape by Earth-River Vehicle. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't do it…

When the two people used that airboat as their cover, Zhang Tie could also launch a strike; however, given the innocent lives on the airboat, Zhang Tie didn't do it either.

It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that the two people would hide themselves in Brokenstars Ocean. It was a Heaven-sent opportunity.

There were only mountains floating in the air of Brokenstars Ocean, large or small where Earth-River Vehicle became useless. Additionally, it was scarcely populated here. No matter what loud noise did he make, it could hardly be discovered or involved with innocent people. It was the ideal place for killing Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.

Previously, Zhang Tie still doubted whether he would refine and absorb the fire chakras of the two people or not in Dragon Emperor City. At this moment, after knowing that the two people had killed dozens of immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for two golden secret items of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie didn't show any mercy to the two people anymore.

After sneaking to the side of the two people secretly, Zhang Tie launched his strike. Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu who were in cultivation discovered it the moment Zhang Tie moved. However, it was too late. His heavy weapons and the kinetic strike had arrived the moment the two people started to release their protective battle qi.

The physical strength of a semi-sage level knight was one more times greater than that of heavenly knights. However, no matter how irresistible are the bodies of semi-sage level knights, without the complete protection of protective battle qi, they were nothing but sh*t in front of Zhang Tie's heavy weapons and kinetic strike. At this moment, even if their bodies were made of iron, they would also be smashed into pieces.

The space of the mountain cave was relatively small. Additionally, the two people were justing sitting face-to-face beside the bonfire. This created a condition for Zhang Tie to kill them simultaneously.

A heavy hammer, a heavy mace and a deity-killing sword hit targets almost concurrently.

With a sound "pufff…" inside the cave, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were scattered into bloody ashes utterly the moment they opened their eyes out of shock…

The aftermath of Zhang Tie's strike heavily shocked the entire mountain at once while the hard ground, where Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were, became a 3-m deep pit. The strong and extremely constrained impact wave broke out of the mountain cave along the tunnels with high airflows. With a loud sound "bang", the airflows outside this mountain went berserk, breaking the clouds and fog apart at once.

The two people, who were discussing how to take revenge on Zhang Tie just now, instantly turned into ashes together with their conspiracies, dignity, wealth and dreams of dominating the entire Motian Realm.

Kill two birds with one stone. Zhang Tie then started to refine and absorb the two people's fire chakras crazily at the same time. Meanwhile, his huge hammer and huge mace disappeared and returned to his qi sea. Additionally, Zhang Tie caught the remains of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu by hands rapidly.

Each of them left three items, namely a space-teleportation finger ring, a silver secret weapon that they usually used and a golden secret item.

All of them became Zhang Tie's booties.

As Zhang Tie had too many space-teleportation finger rings and silver secret weapons, he just put them away. As for the two golden secret items, they made Zhang Tie drool at a stroke.

At this moment, the Heavenly-Separation Sword had not turned into its real form. It was just a 3 cm-long tiny golden sword. Levitating on Zhang Tie's left hand, it looked pretty restless as it intended to escape from Zhang Tie's hand. Being as small as Heavenly-Separation Sword, the Earth-River Vehicle was like a small spiral shell which kept rotating and struggling on his other hand and looked pretty cute.

Like silver secret items, golden secret items should also recognize their owners. Closely after Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were killed, their spiritual brands on the two golden secret items had disappeared. After losing their owners, the two golden secret items became restless, especially Heavenly-Separation Sword, which kept plunging forward on this side and dashing in on that.

However, now that Zhang Tie had already caught them, he would never let them escape. Watching the recalcitrant Heavenly-Separation Sword, Zhang Tie slightly released a bit qi of his swordsmanship. Closely after that, Heavenly-Separation Sword became still like being fixed. Then, it started to hum slightly as if it was pretty thrilled. Zhang Tie then let it go. Heavenly-Separation Sword then left his hand and started to fly around Zhang Tie rapidly like a cute puppy dog. Finally, it suddenly drilled into Zhang Tie's hair and stayed inside.

Zhang Tie smiled as two drops of blood dripped out of his palm. One drop entered the Earth-River Vehicle. Closely after that, the restless golden secret item became still like a wild horse being reined. The other blood drop flew towards the Heavenly-Separation Sword inside his hair. However, before the blood drop arrived at the top of his head, the Heavenly-Separation Sword had already flown out of his hair as it couldn't wait to absorb that blood drop.

When the two drops completely entered the two golden secret items, the two golden secret items instantly turned into the light without Zhang Tie's consent. Heavenly-Separation Sword then flew into Zhang Tie's mind sea, closely followed by Earth-River Vehicle.

Zhang Tie became shortly stunned. When the two items entered his mind sea, Zhang Tie received two messages respectively. Not until then did he know that golden secret items should be lubricated by their owner's spiritual energy in their owner's mind sea after recognizing their owner.

In Zhang Tie's mind sea, Heavenly-Separation Sword and Earth-River Vehicle dived into the lake at the foot of King-Kong Mountain as if they felt pretty happy…

Zhang Tie smiled as he didn't care about them anymore; instead, he kept absorbing the two fire chakras that he had locked using his shackle of chakra.

10 minutes later, after absorbing the two complete fire chakras, Zhang Tie felt full.

As this mining cave was not suitable for lighting his fire chakra, after taking a glance at this place, Zhang Tie turned around and intended to fly out of there.

Right then, an abrupt and strange voice sounded.

It sounded calm. However, Zhang Tie was greatly shocked by the contents of the sound.

"Everyone says that the No. 1 human assassin in Motian Realm was Ye Haoran the unrivaled killer who has disappeared in Mountain Ruines 400 years ago for Nine Heavenly Immortal Spring. In my opinion, if Ye Haoran saw how you killed Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, he might also feel ashamed. A person who came from another world could become the immortal emperor of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the most terrifying killer in Motian Realm. That's interesting…"

Chapter 1800: The Manifestation of the Real Power

Zhang Tie realized that this voice was transmitted by battle qi which directly entered in his ears. As a powerhouse who had experienced many fierce battles, when Zhang Tie heard the sound, he only did one thing——took out the silver secret items from the void of his qi sea and hit the ground on the premise that he couldn't position the opponent…

It was a real kinetic strike, also the most powerful kinetic strike that Zhang Tie could make. This strike was much more destructive than that he used to kill Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu.

Just now, Zhang Tie's strike was constrained. As long as he could destroy the two people's bodies, he didn't need to make a deafening noise or send the belongings of the two people flying away. By contrast, this time, Zhang Tie made his full efforts.

As he released the strong impact wave and energy, he broke the entire mountain into pieces. Closely after that, hundreds of millions of broken stones and low-quality air-floating ores shot in all directions at a terrifying speed with a terrifying strength like a rainstorm.

At this moment, if common low-level knights were within 1,000 m, they would be heavily injured or even be killed by the numerous broken stones and ores.

At the same time, Zhang Tie became invisible in a split second and rushed along with those broken stones and ores.

He did it so as to create chaos and cover himself. In this way, he could take the initiative. Meanwhile, the broken stones that shot in all directions could enable Zhang Tie to discover the position of the strange speaker. As long as that stranger was near the mountain, the broken stones would probably be able to expose the position of the stranger like tens of thousands of secret weapons. This trick was called beating the grass and frightening away the snake. Sometimes, such reckless behavior could cause bad outcomes; sometimes, it could expose the snake, which was always better than not knowing the position of the enemy.

Zhang Tie had not imagined that someone in Motian Realm knew that he was from another world. Since he came to Motian Realm, it was his first time to be recognized by someone else.

When Zhang Tie rushed along the numerous broken stones, he had long released his spiritual energy to observe the abnormal situation in the surroundings.

However, Zhang Tie found that nobody was outside there; instead, it was all white in the void. Strangely, the entire black space was surrounded by white fog.

The fog was heavy and everywhere. Additionally, it was pretty strange. Zhang Tie remembered that he didn't see that before entering the mining cave.

'Is that how it always goes here?' Zhang Tie was not familiar with the situation facing Brokenstars Ocean; therefore, he didn't know why. However, it was not the right moment for him to explore why there was such a heavy fog.

Zhang Tie was shocked again when he looked into the white fog by lotus flower eyes; because he didn't know how thick it was. The visibility was only 100 m.

However, Zhang Tie didn't stay still; instead, based on the topography of this mountain that he remembered just now, Zhang Tie flew in one direction at the speed of over 10,000 m per second. After half a minute's distance, Zhang Tie's heart suddenly raced; because there should be a bigger mountain in the air. 'Why it's still empty here and is surrounding by heavy fog?'

'No, something is wrong!'

Zhang Tie stopped at a stroke as he started to extend his spiritual energy upwards. In the past, Zhang Tie always did this in cultivation or for gathering the two bizarre energies. Additionally, as long as he extended his spiritual energy upwards, his spiritual energy could reach a pretty high altitude in a short period of time like a rocket so that he could control and see everything in the surroundings.

However, this time, the situation was different. Soon after he extended his spiritual energy upwards, he had touched an invisible, solid impenetrable ceiling. Spiritually, Zhang Tie saw fog only.

The invisible, solid ceiling was similar to the border of the territory of sage-level knights; however, it was much more powerful than that. If the border of sage-level knight's territory was taken as cardboard which could be penetrated by his spiritual energy, this invisible, solid ceiling was like steel plate which could never be penetrated through, even by his spiritual energy.

'What's happening?'

"You really have a quick response, hoho…" That stranger chuckled which Zhang Tie didn't know whether it meant contempt or extolment. "I've not imagined that your spiritual energy has already become real. Not bad. Not bad. Many fresh supreme-level immortal generals couldn't make it. You really bring me surprises one after another…"

That voice sounded again. Although the stranger had positioned Zhang Tie's location precisely, his position was still unknown to Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie's heart pounded as he showed up himself. Watching the heavy white fog, Zhang Tie's eyes shone shrewdly as he spoke in the direction of the heavy fog calmly, "Your Excellency, given your great ability, you're definitely famous in Motian Realm. You don't need to hide yourself!"

"You look calm!"

"Death is the biggest problem in one's life. I've already died for many times. What am I afraid of?" Zhang Tie said calmly. After realizing that he might be in danger, Zhang Tie became especially calm.

"Not bad, not bad. I like your words. Your words are always interesting, more interesting than that of many people in Motian Realm. Death is the biggest problem in one's life. I'm afraid that this phrase only exists in the world where you came from…"

Closely after saying that, an old man in scarlet robe appeared over 10 m away from Zhang Tie. At the same time, the white fog started to shrink fast and finally became white cloths which shot back into the old man's palm at a pretty high speed. Finally, they turned into a white rune, which was instantly broken by the old man with a light pinch.

After the fog disappeared, Zhang Tie found that it was not Brokenstars Ocean at all as it was pitch-dark all over here; instead, it was more like someone's realm. Zhang Tie wondered when did he and the mountain fall into this realm…

At the sight of this scene, Zhang Tie swallowed his saliva anxiously…
