Although Yinzhou City looked brightly lit from the sky, it was a bit contradicting behind those lamplights.
In such heavy, snowy weather and such a deep night, most of the stores in other provinces must have been closed. However, all the stores in the downtown of Yinzhou City even those small shops in lanes were still brightly lit, making it a bit unreasonable.
Previously, Zhang Tie heard that the band of remnants of Heavens Reaching Church founded Heavens Reaching Empire with the support of demons and issued some absurd decrees to display the prosperity and popularity of the region under the rule of Heavens Reaching Church, for instance, those stores inside the city couldn’t close up until 12 am. At the sight of the nightscape here, Zhang Tie realized that the gossip was true.
Demons and humans had been living together in the same city while the former was in a supreme position. This city might be the blueprint and template of demons’ rule over Hua people in the future.
The aborigines inside Yinzhou City had already started to be brainwashed. When Zhang Tie saw those patrolling demon fighters passing by, those Hua captives balked at them on the roadsides while giving a salute to them. Nobody dared oppose demons. Those dissidents might have already been
tackled
by demons and Heavens Reaching Church…
Of course, such a case looked a bit abnormal for the time being. However, if demons really won this holy war, when the brilliant history of humans and Taixia Country was completely eliminated and all the seniors who knew this period of history had passed away for 100 or 200 years, would those commoners who were born to worship demons as nobles and idols feel it abnormal to worship demons? By then, demons might prefer themselves to be called deities while those puppets and lackeys with the support of demons would also become the ruling class of humans…
New religion would appear; so would history being comprised of lies. By then, humans might be forced to forget about cultivation; instead, they would submit themselves to the ruling system established by demons and their lackeys.
It was not an illusion, but the reappearance of the reality facing humans before the Catastrophe.
Watching Yinzhou City, Zhang Tie further determined his mind to fight demons until the end.
Many buildings inside Yinzhou City had been ruined by battle flames. At least the White Tiger Platform in the center of the downtown, where the Yinzhou Provincial Mansion was, had been burned into ashes. Although half of it had been restored, nobody was living inside. The entire White Tiger Platform was girdled by building materials. Those construction workers were crowding in low tents in order to avoid from the sharp frost…
Many residents had migrated into the city. The factories in the city were still running. Even the villages outside the city were occupied by people. Even the farmland was not wasted. Given the current situation, the industrial and agricultural production in Yinzhou City were both running normally. Many people were living there according to the will of Heavens Reaching Church and demons.
In this case, even though there were knights of Three-eye Association inside the city, it was not easy for Zhang Tie to find them from such a big city even with lotus flower eyes.
After thinking for a short while in clouds and glancing at Yinzhou City for a few seconds, Zhang Tie had already got an idea.
With a master-level hiding skill, Zhang Tie was like a transparent snowflake. Being covered by darkness, he slowly declined into a tidy storage area in the west of Yinzhou City from over 20,000 m high.
Just now, Zhang Tie found that this storage area was full of new weaponry and military materials.
…
Old six, it’s too cold. Why not take out the sweet potato spirit that you got from widow Xu outside the city and share it with our brothers?
In the gatehouse, 6 soldiers in odd uniforms of Heavens Reaching Empire were warming themselves around a fire basket meticulously. The moment Zhang Tie landed, he had heard these words.
Hehhehheh, Brother Xu, I have no sweet potato spirit…
No crap. I saw you drink it yesterday. Don’t be that stingy. Otherwise, how about our brothers traveling to the village outside the city and having a chat with widow Cao in a couple of days and be your brothers-in-law? That woman is a good btch. You must have been coveting her for a long time. Previously, you were sent to prison for the crime of pilferage; after being released, you could still open her door with your uniform. Wouldn’t our brothers do it?
A libertine and a threatening voice sounded.
Brother Xu, it’s my fault. Here’s the sweet potato spirit. I’m holding it for you. Let’s share it…
That man instantly gave concession to the other one.
As Zhang Tie listened to the talk, he walked over there quietly.
Tut-tut…it tastes great. I’ve not drunk for a long time…Old six, don’t be that narrow-minded. This father respects you today for letting us drink your sweet potato spirit. Do you know 3rd Boss Ma? This father might serve him one day…
Ahh, you know 3rd Boss Ma, Brother Xu…
Brother Xu was soon buried by flattery.
Of course, when 3rd Boss Ma was hunted by those black-skin dogs of the court in Langu County due to some beauties, I saved him by hiding him in my cellar and had him stay inside for half a month. Now, 3rd Boss Ma has gained the favor of a high-rank official and become the chief patroller of the east city district of Heavens Reaching City. If I met him, of course, he would promote me. It’s just a matter of one sentence. By then, we would not be worried about our lives…
Yes, yes…
Brother Xu, how about taking a round?
It’s so cold. Who would dare find trouble here? The gate is right in front of us. We have the key. Let’s go inside. Don’t worry about that…
At this moment, Zhang Tie had already arrived at the gate of the guardhouse. A guy with some pigmented naevus and some fine hair on his red face replied loudly, sending saliva in the air. When he finished the word
that
, he had already seen Zhang Tie in Chaos. Under the lamplight, the Chaos started to change its color.
Brother Xu was struck dumb at once. At the sight of Brother Xu’s abnormal look, all the others turned around. When they caught sight of Zhang Tie, they instantly became still as if their heads were frozen.
These lackeys were nothing but sht for Zhang Tie. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn’t feel like paying any attention to them. Only by snapping his fingers, a magical note had entered their ears, causing their eye light puzzled. However, in a split second, all of them recovered as if they had not seen Zhang Tie at all or Zhang Tie was transparent. They continued to drink fervently inside the door…
I heard that 3rd Boss Ma married Boss Liu’s daughter a few days ago. I’ve seen her daughter before. She’s really bright and beautiful. 3rd Boss Ma is really lucky…
Of course, how could Miss Liu be matched by old women like Widow Cao?
…
Zhang Tie just gazed at the lock of the gate of the warehouse. Only by running his spiritual energy, he had already unlocked the gate. After the gate opened partly and quietly, Zhang Tie entered it calmly.
After staying in the warehouse for 2 minutes, Zhang Tie left out of there. The guardhouse was still noisy. The gate of the warehouse then closed while being locked up automatically. After that, Zhang Tie flashed away.
After returning to the sky, Zhang Tie just hid in the cloud and waited quietly.
Only after one minute, the warehouse where Zhang Tie entered just now had caught fire. Closely after that, with a boom, a part of the roof of the warehouse was sent flying into the sky, exposing the top of the flame. The glow of the flame reflected the sky at once while the boom shocked almost half of Yinzhou City.
Ahh, hurry up, put out the fire…
When the warehouse was burning up and exploding, those guys outside the gate of the warehouse instantly rushed over here like heroes…
The demon camp both inside and outside Yinzhou City was shocked by the explosion. A band of colorful meteors instantly flew towards this warehouse.
Over 30 demon knights rushed out of the demon camp under the leadership of an ox-head shadow demon knight. Among 20-odd knights that flew towards here from inside the city, 7-8 of them were earth knights of Heavens Reaching Church being hunted by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country.
None of them could find Zhang Tie who was right above their head in the cloud. However, Zhang Tie had already born their looks and origins where they came from in mind.
As long as the ruse of beating the grass and frightening away the snakes was adopted well, it would save a lot of strength and time. Zhang Tie thought in the cloud as he revealed a sneer.
The ox-head shadow demon knight entered the warehouse first. Closely after that, it flew out of the warehouse as it said in a stentorian voice,
Nobody’s inside…
All the other knights looked around and didn’t find anybody at all.
A nearby camp was shocked while thousands of soldiers set off their barracks towards the warehouse in preparation for putting out the fire.
The reason for the fire accident was a bit strange. It seemed that some military materials in the warehouse got burned all of a sudden. However, the gate and all the facilities in the warehouse were well preserved. After putting out the fire, they found no loss greater than some materials and the lives of some soldiers who were responsible for guarding this warehouse, not to mention any enemies.
As it was cold, mismanagement might lead to some loopholes sometimes. However, sabotage was not excluded. However, it was not a big deal, at least for knights. Therefore, after over 1 hour’s relief, they finally put out the fire. After realizing that nothing else happened, all the over 30 knights returned to the places where they came from.
Standing in the cloud, Zhang Tie watched those earth knights of Heavens Reaching Church as he licked his lips…
However, Zhang Tie didn’t move; instead he just fixed his eyes onto his targets with lotus flower eyes. Not until 6-7 hours later when it came to midnight did Zhang Tie start his action like a nocturnal predator.
Zhang Tie’s first target was the most powerful one among those earth knights of Heavens Reaching Church.
However, as for Zhang Tie, that lackey was just a joke.
With the effect of divine dominator, lotus flower eyes and master-level hiding skill, Zhang Tie’s movement was so secretive that he was not discovered until he came to the bedside of that earth knight. Soon after that guy opened its eyes, before it uttered any voice and released its protective battle qi, it had been knocked out by Zhang Tie’s punches on its temples…
…
On the next early morning, the entire Yinzhou City was filled with alarms and in chaos. All the members of the the demon camp outside the city had been mobilized; because half of the 20-odd knights who were pillars of Heavens Reaching Empire inside Yinzhou City disappeared overnight, driving all the other lackeys of Heavens Reaching Church flurried…
