Aleem
2 days after Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi officially returned to Iron-Dragon Sect and became the owner of Immortalspring Peak, Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian had to leave for gathering.
2 days flashed by. During that period, Zhang Tie returned to Jinwu City and bade farewell to his dad, mom and elder brother. After hearing that the old man Zhang Haitian was getting worse these days, Zhang Tie paid a visit to the old man in Yiyang Prefecture.
Since he participated in Zhang Tie’s rotating chakra ceremony, the old man had been getting worse in the latest months. At the sight of so many age spots on the face and hands of the old man and his much dimmer eye light, Zhang Tie felt grieved more or less.
No matter what animosity it was in the last generation, Zhang Tie was still blood-related to the old man. Additionally, the previous small conflict between Zhang Tie’s family and the old mansion had long faded away after Zhang Tie became an elder of Huaiyuan Palace.
The old man was very happy to see Zhang Tie. After taking medicine, he talked with Zhang Tie for quite a while at his full spirit. After that, he became sleepy. Therefore, Zhang Tie bade a farewell to Zhang’s old mansion.
After leaving Zhang’s old mansion in Yiyang Prefecture, Zhang Tie returned to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. After telling his wives something, he went back to Iron-Dragon Sect and waited for the arrival of the airboat.
After Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi joined Iron-Dragon Sect, Iron-Dragon Sect had 2 more knights. This event could definitely arouse a shock in Youzhou Province in normal times; however, at this critical moment, due to the arrival of demons, it didn’t win too much attention of the public.
At a bit later than 3 o’clock on the afternoon of July 28th, a provincial governor’s airboat approached Xuantian Peak of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory when it was sunny with leisure clouds…
All the disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect were crowding outside the main hall of Xuantian Peak. After Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi returned to Iron-Dragon Sect, the disciples on Immortalspring Peak immediately accounted for most of the disciples in Iron-Dragon Sect.
Zhang Tie’s disciples, Zhang Su, Donder, Li Tao, Lu Yishan and the hit-plane brotherhood were all here.
Zhang Tie looked up at the airboat before telling Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi,
When we’re not here, please look after Iron-Dragon Sect and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory for us
.
Don’t worry, master, we will definitely safeguard the foundation of Iron-Dragon Sect and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory for the master!
Lu Zhongming told Zhang Tie while cupping his hands with a decisive look.
Zhang Tie nodded as he looked at Zhang Su and Liu Xing,
You should lose no time in training Fire-Dragon Corps. Continue to recruit soldiers and military officers. Although Fire-Dragon Corps don’t need to fight on the battlefield this time, you might have to take action next time…
Don’t worry, master…
Liu Xing promised solemnly as Zhang Su nodded.
Looking at those familiar faces, Zhang Tie became silent although he had a lot of words to say.
The members of hit-plane brotherhood were watching him silently with complexed eye light.
The hotel business managed by Barley and the other guys of hit-plane brotherhood was growing much better. Only after a few years, their business had spread over Youzhou Province. However, this business was still too trivial compared to Zhang Tie’s undertakings, insight and layout.
They bore brotherhood deep in mind. However, over these years, as Zhang Tie grew stronger with an increasingly high position, the difference between him and the other members of hit-plane brotherhood grew sharper. They could barely have any common language. It was not one’s problem; the only problem was that commoners such as Barley made a bosom friend with a knight who was famous among humans.
After coming to the front of the members of the hit-plane brotherhood, Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile silently. He just patted the shoulders of Barley, Bagdad, Irving, Hista and Leit one after another.
Although Zhang Tie remained as young as before in Blackhot City, the members of hit-plane brotherhood had been over 30 years old and changed their looks. Even Irving kept his beard as he grew much stronger and maturer than before.
When Zhang Tie patted their shoulders one after another, their eyes turned red as they felt warm inside. They knew that Zhang Tie still regarded them as brothers.
I was told that you’ve been a dad for 2 months!
Zhang Tie asked as he patted Doug’s shoulder. Doug threw a customary glance at Barley with slightly red eyes as he took in a deep breath and stroked his head. He wanted to say something; however, he didn’t know whether it was the proper moment for him to say that.
Zhang Tie glanced around these years as he said with a smile,
If you believe in me, you could send your sons to Iron-Dragon Sect. I’m sure I will help you teach them well. I dare not say all of them could promote to knights but I’m sure that they would be greater than their father!
Doug nodded forcefully. So did Barley and the other members of the hit-plane brotherhood. They had been longing for that for a long time; however, they didn’t know how to say. Because they knew that all the disciples in Iron-Dragon Sect came from major clans across Taixia Country or had rich experience in fighting demons in the earth-elements realm. As outsiders, Barley and the other members of hit-plane brotherhood had just got a firm foothold in Taixia Country these years. They could never match these people on Zhang Tie’s side. Even Bagdad who was most diligent in cultivation was only LV 7. Bagdad’s cultivation speed was normal for commoners. The others didn’t share the miracles with Zhang Tie.
I’ve told Donder. This year, a piece of land will be divided from Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory for building a city. Besides hotel management, you will also be responsible for managing the new city. I hope you could have a real foothold in Taixia Country. As we’re all so busy, you guys couldn’t continue to be indolent in duty!
Zhang Tie smiled as he said casually which shocked the members of hit-plane brotherhood pretty much.
From hotel management to city management, it was a tremendous leap for these members of hit-plane brotherhood in their lives.
After saying that, Zhang Tie waved his hands towards them as he flew off towards the airboat in the sky with Bai Suxian and Mountain Lifting Hermit before they made any response to him.
Wish suzerain (master) (owner) to safeguard humans by killing more demons on behalf of our country…
Thousands of people said in unison.
…
That airboat suspending above Xuantian Peak was exclusive to Zhang Taixuan. It only took Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian over 10 seconds to arrive at the open deck at the entrance of the airboat.
Zhang Taixuan the Youzhou provincial governor, Elder Muray and Elder Muyu of Huaiyuan Palace and a lot of knights in Youzhou Province were on the deck.
The moment Zhang Tie landed, he had cupped his hands towards the surroundings as he said,
Sorry for being late, provincial governor and all the other friends…
Zhang Taixuan was here to pick those knights of the clans in Youzhou Province who had received the Xuanyuan command as Youzhou provincial governor according to the regulation. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn’t call Zhang Taixuan clan head, but provincial governor.
Besides Zhang Taixuan, Zhang Tie knew most of the knights on the deck.
Lu Dingzhi the clan head of Lu Clan and the other two elders of Lu Clan nodded towards Zhang Tie.
Gu Clan assigned 3 knights here too. However, Gu Dashou the clan head of Gu Clan and Gu Qingyun the one who was regarded as the future star of Gu Clan were not here. The head of the 3 knights of Gu Clan might be Elder Gu Qinglong whom Zhang Tie got acquainted with in the competition for the title of Youzhou provincial governor 2 years ago. It was Zhang Tie’s first time to see Elder Gu Qinglong since the competition for the title of Youzhou provincial governor.
At the sight of Elder Gu Qinglong, Zhang Tie had discovered that this Gu elder might always be in closed cultivation these years. This time, Elder Gu Qinglong’s power looked much greater than that 2 years ago as his chakra grew thicker. He had just promoted to 5 change realm of the black iron knight.
Previously, Zhang Tie was unable to see through the realm of the black iron knight; however, after grasping Purgatory Samsara Method, having lotus-flower eyes and promoting to an earth knight, Zhang Tie already had an exceptional sensing capability about the realm of black iron knights. Generally, only by throwing a glance at the opponent, he would know the cultivation base of that person.
Generally, one’s cultivation base and forming schedule of one’s chakra could be barely known by outsiders. Therefore, Han Zhengfang could hide his real identity and cultivation base for so many years with the secret methods of Bloody Soul Sutra. However, this situation seemingly didn’t exist for Zhang Tie as he could almost see through all the low-level knight’s cultivation bases.
Zhang Tie wondered whether it was related to the Purgatory Samsara Method, his lotus-flower eyes or his great spiritual energy. He had asked Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian about that; however, the two people had not heard that any other knights in Taixia Country could have this special ability.
After Zhang Tie arrived at the deck, Elder Gu Qinglong threw a glance at Zhang Tie for a short while. As the muscles near his eyelids jumped, he nodded towards Zhang Tie in a reserved way.
During the past 2 years, Elder Gu Qinglong had just reached one realm higher as a black iron knight. However, this insidious
junior
knight who yelled
win people by virtue
in the White Tiger Platform of Youzhou City had promoted to an earth knight unconsciously. When Gu Qinglong left his back room, Qianji Hermit’s fame had already spread over the country. Even Elder Gu Qingyun who was always Gu Clan’s pride was also dwarfed by Zhang Tie’s brilliance. Therefore, Elder Gu Qinglong felt pretty embarrassed…
