Castle of Black Iron

A knight subordinate of Zuoqiu Mingyue was waiting for Zhang Tie in Blackwater Base. After seeing Zhang Tie in a bit more than 10 minutes, the subordinate was very satisfied. After confirming Zhang Tie’s identity, that knight subordinate only said, “Follow me…” before leaving Blackwater Base for Xuanyuan Fortress.

Although Zhang Tie had just covered over here from the airboat of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, after hearing that the commander-in-chief was waiting for him in Blackwater Base, Zhang Tie could only go back to Blackwater Base first before following that knight subordinate to Xuanyuan Fortress.

On the way, Zhang Tie was wondering why Zuoqiu Mingyue wanted to see him.

The knight subordinate was silent with an inflexible look and behaved in a rigid way without even greeting Zhang Tie. Therefore, Zhang Tie gave up inquiring something from this man. No matter what, he would know it after a short while.

Xuanyuan Fortress was similar to Lion Fortress in structure and staffing. They were both super large war fortresses. Over half of passers-by on the roads in the war fortresses were knights. Additionally, there were various metal towers on both sides of the roads, which could serve as people’s residences. Of course, there were also bars and stores where knights could become relaxed and exchange materials. As Zhang Tie had stayed in Lion Fortress for a few days, he didn’t feel too amazed about Xuanyuan Fortress. There was also a no-fly air territory and a marvelous energy cover above this fortress. Most of the knights couldn’t fly in the fortress except for heavenly knights.

“Zhang Tie…” a thunder-like voice sounded the moment Zhang Tie entered the fortress and walked with that knight on the road. Zhang Tie turned around as he saw Feng Yexiao, one of the top 4 grand elders of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who once lost a bet with him. Additionally, there were some knights on Feng Yexiao’s side. Given their looks, they should be Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s disciples. Soon after they walked out of a high roadside tower, they had caught sight of Zhang Tie.

Like how he looked when Zhang Tie saw him for the first time, Feng Yexiao also wore an extremely ordinary plain-colored linen robe. Of course, after seeing the luxurious configuration inside Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s airboat, Zhang Tie would not consider that Feng Yexiao pursued frugality or diligence. Ladies in nightclubs didn’t wear a lot less because they were born to be coquettish, but because of demand for work and livelihood. Similarly, grand elders of Taiyi Fantasy Sect didn’t dress in this way to save some gold coins for the sect or they couldn’t afford a boa silk robe; but for pretending to be frugal in order to catch outsiders’ attention.

At the sight of Feng Yexiao, Zhang Tie stopped as he said calmly with a glassy-eyed look, “Elder Feng!”

The knight subordinate in front of Zhang Tie also stopped as he turned around and looked at Feng Yexiao and Zhang Tie silently.

Compared to Zhang Tie’s calmness, Feng Yexiao widely opened his eyes as he questioned Zhang Tie strictly, “Zhang Tie, as an earth knight, why do you hurt my disciple the moment you came back yesterday?”

“Grand elder Feng, what do you mean?” Zhang Tie said with a distant look, “Since I came back yesterday, I’ve not fought anybody at all. Additionally, I only greeted some familiar ones. I’ve never talked with any disciple of Taiyi Fantasy Sect at all. Grand elder Feng’s words really made me feel puzzled. I wonder how did I hurt your disciple. Could you explain me about the causes and effects?”

“You…” Feng Yexiao was so angry that his face was red. Nobody else across Xuanyuan Fortress would sympathize his disciple if he told them what happened yesterday. However, his disciple suffered a loss from Zhang Tie; additionally, this event was related to his own face. After recalling that his face was slapped by Zhang Tie for a couple times, he lost a bet with Zhang Tie which almost made him a laughingstock in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. This time, his disciple was driven infuriated so much by Zhang Tie that he even spurted out a mouth of blood. Therefore, Feng Yexiao finally lost his temper.

“My junior fellow apprentice Wen was once out of control when in cultivation; as a result, his heart meridian was injured. After being insulted and stimulated, his disease relapsed as he had a pain in the heart and spurted out blood. Qianji Hermit understood what happened yesterday, why do you pretend to be innocent here?” A disciple younger than 30 years old behind Feng Yexiao opened his mouth.

Zhang Tie glanced at that disciple of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Given his long and narrow eyes, he looked very scheming. Additionally, his slightly thinner lips and sunken eye sockets looked a bit gloomy. At this moment, that person was gazing at Zhang Tie with narrow eyes dauntlessly. The moment he opened his mouth, he had attributed the responsibility to Zhang Tie.

“As a Hua sage said, one should not impose on others what he himself does not desire. Now that he couldn’t stand being stimulated or humiliated, why did he always want to stimulate and humiliate others? Because he’s the disciple of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the others have to grasp the ability to have his saliva dry itself on their faces?” Zhang Tie sneered.

“Taiyi Fantasy Sect is the first sect in Taixia Country. Standing in the opposite of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, it’s not strange even if you grasp the ability to have one’s saliva dry itself on your face.” Feng Yexiao said with a faint sneer.

“Elder Feng, I got up early this morning. I’ve not even cleaned my teeth. However, you told me about this. I really have no preparation mentally…” Zhang Tie looked at Feng Yexiao with a smile as he continued, “As I have something to deal with, I have to go. If Elder Feng wants to grasp the ability to have one’s saliva dry itself on your face, I suggest Elder Feng have a try at a high place by spitting your saliva towards the strong wind. When Elder Feng promotes to sage realm one day and could match Emperor Xuanyuan, you might have already grasped this top skill. See you!”

After saying that, Zhang Tie directly told that knight subordinate of commander-in-chief without looking at Feng Yexiao before saying, “Let’s go!”

After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie and the members of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, the knight subordinate continued to walk forward in front of Zhang Tie silently.

Soon after Zhang Tie moved less than 5 footsteps, he had heard a sound. The one who spoke secretly was the young earth knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who talked to Zhang Tie just now, “It’s said that Qianji Hermit has a senior fellow apprentice called Lan Yunxi in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. She’s already a black iron knight and looks good. Hehheh, after seeing Qianji Hermit, I realize that I’ve cared about junior fellow apprentice Lan too less before…”

Zhang Tie stopped at once as he slowly looked around. At the same time, he raised his arm and pointed at that earth knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who was watching him with a sneer and said straightforwardly, “Bear it in mind, from now on, as long as Lan Yunxi encounter any accident or misfortune in Taiyi Fantasy Sect, even if she broke one finger in cultivation, I will kill you for sure regardless of the reason. If you want to see whether I dare do that or not, just have a try. This is the price that you will pay for using the member of Huaiyuan Palace to threaten me. Wen Qingkong the son of a b*tch dared swear me in front of me; however, you the b*stard only dared threaten me secretly…You couldn’t even match Wen Qingkong”

“Zhang Tie, you’re too presumptuous…” The earth knight instantly changed his face. Feng Yexiao was also driven mad as he roared and grabbed the chance to punch towards Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes at once; at the same time, he punched against Feng Yexiao’s palm. With such a loud boom, Zhang Tie remained still; however, Feng Yexiao was sent back to his original place.

This round of combat was as fast as a lightning bolt. Zhang Tie and Feng Yexiao had finished their combat before the onlookers’ response. However, the loud boom attracted the attention of all the passers-by within 100 m.

Zhang Tie threw a glance at Feng Yexiao. Closely after that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around. Watching Zhang Tie’s back, Feng Yexiao’s facial expression turned mysterious. Only Feng Yexiao himself knew that his hand which punched against Zhang Tie’s palm was slightly quivering inside his sleeve…

‘What a terrifying strength!’ Feng Yexiao was shocked inside.

‘F*ck, I finally became hostile against Taiyi Fantasy Sect!’ Zhang Tie swore inside. However, after punching against Feng Yexiao openly just now, Zhang Tie had a feeling of exaltation upon fulfillment. He wouldn’t feel suppressed anymore. After becoming hostile against Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Zhang Tie found that he didn’t have anything to fear about from then on. Therefore, he felt as broad as sea and sky inside at once…
