Aleem
3 hours later, it grew darker. On the side of a willow wood near the bank of Euphonicmusic Lake, the water moved automatically without the effect of wind. Closely after that, Zhang Tie exposed his head and gradually walked out of the lake step by step; however, there was not even a drop of water on his body. He directly walked to the grassland by the lakeside.
Zhang Tie went ashore in another place when he returned in case of disturbing that pair of mandarin ducks. He was not a peepaholic pervert. He preferred to detour such an embarrassing thing unless he encountered it by accident. It would be boring if he went back to see that when he could have avoided that. Only kids did that out of curiosity; however, Zhang Tie was not a kid anymore.
The place where he went ashore was about 15 miles away from where he entered the water. It was also an unpopulated place.
Standing on the lakeside, Zhang Tie watched the lake.
Just now, when Han Yuanhong talked with the only alive knight of Arlkey Empire among the prince’s retinue, Zhang Tie was lying on a bonsai in the room in the incarnation of a little beetle. Zhang Tie arrived a few minutes earlier than Han Yuanhong. He stayed in the water being not far from the cruiser; instead, he had a little beetle land on the cruiser ahead of Han Yuanhong. Zhang Tie didn’t know that Han Yuanhong would arrive tonight. Now that Han Yuanhong arrived, Zhang Tie just had the little beetle listen to Han Yuanhong’s words.
‘It seems that Han Yuanhong has already figured out the backgrounds of me and Bai Suxian after departing from them at the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market for less than 1 day.’ Zhang Tie was not shocked by it. What really shocked Zhang Tie was that when Han Yuanhong told those flurried guys from Arlkey Empire about the power and possible revenge of Lord Guangnan, he didn’t immediately send those flurried guys back to Crescent Subcontinent by airboat; instead, he just made an arrangement which sounded a bit usefullet those flurried guys disguise themselves before leaving the neighborhood of Euphonicmusic Lake overnight. After shifting to the airship on the next morning, they would fly all the way towards Daizhou Province. After that, they would go back to Crescent Subcontinent by airboat arranged by Gold and Power Law.
Those flurried guys appreciated Han Yuanhong pretty much. The moment Han Yuanhong left, that deluxe cruiser had turned around and moved towards a wharf in the distance.
At that moment, Zhang Tie didn’t think through the reason. Not until Han Yuanhong left did he figure it out that those flurried guys of Arlkey Empire might not be able to leave Xuanyuan Hill for the rest of their lives. The stress from Lord Guangnan’s Mansion and the death of these guys could help Han Clan take control of Arlkey Empire more conveniently.
‘What a good trick! Those flurried guys still appreciate Han Yunhong after being betrayed by him.’
Zhang Tie didn’t sympathize those flurried guys of Arlkey Empire as they were not worth his sympathy either. Zhang Tie didn’t care whether they were alive or not. However, when he figured out that Han Yuanhong directly dropped those guys to the killer from Lord Guangnan’s Mansion like abandoned sons, Zhang Tie had given up the thought of receiving some intelligence from those guys using a secret method. The reason was simple. If there was some secret trade between Han Clan and Arlkey Empire and those guys knew something critical, Han Yuanhong would never abandon them in case they exposed something critical to Lord Guangnan.
Now that Han Yuanhong didn’t fear that these people could expose the secrets, it indicated that these guys were not valuable. Perhaps, their only value was to verify the power of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion and help Han Clan reach their target.
Even if prying for intelligence, nobody dared say that they could receive important intelligence each time, including sage-level knights. Zhang Tie came out tonight as he felt that Arlkey Empire might have a benefit-based relationship. He wanted to discover some clues. Although he did not receive any important intelligence or message, he was not disappointed, because he received something more or less.
First, Zhang Tie knew that Han Yuanhong had paid attention to him. If possible, the master of Gold and Power Law would definitely screw him. However, Zhang Tie would not spare such an opportunity to Han Clan. In Zhang Tie’s opinion, Han Clan’s heyday in Xuanyuan Hill would come to an end in 12 days at most, during which period, as long as Zhang Tie didn’t leave Xuanyuan Hill, Gold and Power Law could not do any harm to Zhang Tie. 12 days later, Han Clan’s influence in Gold and Power Law would be cleared completely for sure. By then, Gold and Power Law would not threaten Zhang Tie’s safety anymore.
Second, through those flurried guys of Arlkey Empire, Zhang Tie understood about this major country in Crescent Subcontinent. Arlkey Empire was indeed a major country in Crescent Subcontinent. It covered over 530 square miles in total with less than 200 million population. They had an earth knight among the royal households. The goddamn prince who was kicked to death by Zhang Tie was a rare
cultivation talent
of this country. The royal households of Arlkey Empire were as happy as larks about having such a person in their country. Because this guy was born with an outstanding talent and sufficient cultivation resources and had royal households on his back, he could promote to black iron knight before the age of 40. Perhaps, he had been used to be arrogant in his country, when he came to Xuanyuan Hill, with Gold and Power Law and Han Clan on his back, he didn’t know how to be reserved. Therefore, he was finally killed by Zhang Tie’s one kick…
Besides that earth knight in the royal households of Arlkey Empire, Arlkey Empire couldn’t pose any threat to Zhang Tie at all; however, a common earth knight was nothing serious in Zhang Tie’s eyes…
After Han Yuanhong left, the little beetle was not interested in those unfortunate guys anymore; therefore, he left the deluxe cruiser too.
After leaving the deluxe cruiser, the little beetle entered Castle of Black Iron in water.
After killing those people and knights on Han Clan’s airboat, Zhang Tie had not entered Castle of Black Iron for a long time. Of course, he had not taken those fruits on the small tree. As he was free for the time being, he intended to digest those new fruits.
Most of the fruits on the small tree were fruits of judgment. After taking those fruits of judgment, all of Zhang Tie immortal rune skills had reached master realm except for his mirror body separation skill.
Besides those fruits of judgment, the fruit of brilliance contained all the spiritual energy of Han Yuantu and Wen Haoyun who was wanted across Taixia Country by the Supreme Court. As a result, Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy surged greatly.
Zhang Tie didn’t know whether those bstards that he killed on the airboat had done too many evil things or not. After all, his achievement was completely out of his imagination. The more powerful the people were and the more evil things they did, the more abundant the reward of the fruit of judgment would be. This was the rule that the small tree followed to produce fruits of judgment. This time, he really gained a bit more fruits of judgment than before. The spiritual energy in that fruit of brilliance was also much greater than the total spiritual energy of one common earth knight and one common black iron knight. It was almost three times that of Old Monster Qi. Therefore, Zhang Tie realized that maybe the two guys; especially the most goddamn dchebag had made a greater achievement in the cultivation of spiritual energy through special means. Zhang Tie really benefited a lot from them.
After taking so many fruits, Zhang Tie’s overall strength surged greatly once again.
After taking the fruits, Zhang Tie took a look at that earth knight whose limbs had been chopped off in Castle of Black Iron.
The earth knight who went to pick up the puppet parent worms in Pingsha Valley together with Wen Haoyun was chopped off limbs by Zhang Tie in the blink of an eye in Han Yuantu’s airboat; closely after that, the bit of water chakra that the earth knight had formed was broken into pieces by Zhang Tie using Purgatory Samsara Method, causing him to pass out at once. With the recycling principle, Zhang Tie teleported him into Castle of Black Iron and prepared to offer a bloody sacrifice with him. After coming back to Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie knew that the earth knight was called Xiao Longfei.
When Xiao Longfei was in Castle of Black Iron, he was looked after pretty well by Heller and the three servants of Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie saw him once again, he was sitting on a wheelchair while his face looked a bit florid.
Zhang Tie was very puzzled about the good treatment received by this guy in Castle of Black Iron. Therefore, he asked Heller about the reason.
Castle Lord, do you want to offer a bloody sacrifice with him?
Heller asked Zhang Tie.
Of course!
Zhang Tie replied immediately.
Castle Lord, don’t forget that he’s an earth knight!
Heller watched Zhang Tie before adding solemnly,
A human earth knight!
Zhang Tie frowned, ‘Does Heller mean that I have no principle? However, I always stick to my principles.’ Zhang Tie replied,
Generally, I would not offer a bloody sacrifice with humans. If it’s a private animosity, I prefer to kill him rather than offering a bloody sacrifice with him. It’s my bottom line. However, now that this guy surrendered to Heavens Reaching Church and cooperated with demons, he’s just a lump of sht among humans who could not even match dogs and pigs. If I offer a bloody sacrifice with him, I will not bear any mental burden!
Heller revealed a smile,
Castle Lord, it seems that you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not blaming Castle Lord for not having any principle. I mean even though Castle Lord refines his water chakra, he’s still an earth knight whose battle strength is almost as same as those who have just promoted to an earth knight. He’s just crippled and can’t move anymore; however, he could still stand in the sunlight. If Castle Lord could have him serve you, it would be more valuable than killing him. Castle Lord actually lacks powerful assistants outside…
After hearing Heller’s words, Zhang Tie became stunned…
