It was raining heavily with lightning streaks and thunders. Soon after triggering his invisible Shen bead and leaving the destroyed building for half a minute, Zhang Tie had felt dizzy. At the same time, he couldn’t even sustain the effect of his invisible Shen bead.
With the secret skill

, Zhang Tie was wrapped by a huge egg. Zhang Tie crossed many dangerous space barriers, element tides and obstructions of the dominating demon deity before seizing the rare opportunity and returning to the main world.
However, he started to suffer from a sequel of the secret skill

meant new birth, while new birth meant weakness. It was an inviolable universal law!
It was also the price for Zhang Tie to choose to come back instead of wandering in the endless space interlayers until death.
Otherwise, he couldn’t come back and the dominating demon deity’s will would come true. Finally, Zhang Tie would become a handful of dust in an unknown space or wander there until death. If he wanted to come back, he had to sustain the

.
By comparing two harms with each other, Zhang Tie chose the smaller one without demurcoming back alive.
This
weak period
lasted 3 years. During this period, Zhang Tie’s power couldn’t even match 1/100 of his original power. 3 years later, he would gradually recover his top power as a sage. During this period, he couldn’t even use the Castle of Black Iron. Zhang Tie couldn’t even communicate with Heller now.
‘Fck!’
‘Did it cost me too much spiritual energy by carrying out secret skills of Bloody Soul Sutra constantly just now? I almost couldn’t stand it.’
Feeling that his spiritual energy couldn’t sustain the effect of invisible Shen bead and the overconsumption of his battle qi, Zhang Tie hurriedly rushed into a deserted roadside inn for temporary sheltering. A wall of the inn had already collapsed…
The deserted inn smelt moldy; its ground was covered with dust and sundries.
Although being weak, Zhang Tie still kept the simplest night-viewing effect of lotus-flower eyes.
Besides lotus-flower eyes, the hiding rune in Zhang Tie’s mind sea still worked. Additionally, its effect didn’t reduce. Therefore, Zhang Tie triggered a powerful master-level hiding rune the moment he entered the inn. Closely after that, Zhang Tie disappeared in the dark quietly.
Being naked, closely after Zhang Tie hid his protective battle qi, his butt had felt cold. Therefore, the preoccupation for him was to find some clothes and shoes.
It was already empty in the inn. However, guests would never take away all of their belongings because of the emergency of war. They would take away some valuable things at most. Despite armies had already searched over this place, they only wanted to find something valuable; they might have no interest in clothes.
Zhang Tie started to look around the inn. When he came to a disordered room on the second floor, Zhang Tie found an open wardrobe, which contained a pile of clothes and some pairs of shoes. Although they had been left here for a long time, they were still well preserved.
Although Zhang Tie couldn’t make a selection, he soon found a 70% new grey linen shirt, a black cheap open-necked sweater, a deep blue short outer garment and a pair of black pants.
After putting them on, Zhang Tie finally didn’t have to be naked.
After opening a drawer of the wardrobe, he found two pairs of cotton socks. He then took out a pair of cotton socks immediately. After that, he found a pair of half-worn leather shoes and a cow’s skin belt. At least, he didn’t need to be naked anymore.
They must not be left by guests. Those living in this room must be waiters or cooks who were as young as Zhang Tie given the types and sizes of these clothes. Except for the waist of trousers and the pair of shoes which were a bit larger, everything else almost fitted Zhang Tie well. After fastening the belt, the problem of the waist of trousers was solved. As for the shoes, Zhang Tie made them a bit larger using the spiritual energy that he had just recovered.
After putting them on, Zhang Tie looked at the mirror which had been covered with some cracks as he mumbled with a self-mockery smile, ‘As the Chinese saying goes, a hero will also die without a penny. As the former unrivaled dragon emperor in Motian Realm, I could only put on some old clothes left by others the moment I return to the main world.’
After putting on his clothes, Zhang Tie started to feel hungry. However, he couldn’t find anything to eat in this deserted inn. Therefore, he stayed in a room on the second floor for a short rest. At the same time, he made his next plan.
Zhang Tie could enter the rear end of the human defense line in Hicks Peninsula over 300 miles away from Coldwater City in the south. Previously, Zhang Tie planned to leave the Hicks Peninsula theater of operations first. However, he had not imagined that his current condition was even weaker than that he could imagine. It became difficult and dangerous for him to travel across hundreds of miles’ long human defense line.
Weakness meant dangers. Especially on the battlefield, young tigers couldn’t even defeat a stray dog. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to be careful.
If Zhang Tie left for the regions occupied by demons, it was nothing different than seeking death. Based on his current battle force, it would be even more dangerous for him to travel across the hundreds of miles’ long human defense zone.
Currently, the entire human defense zone was managed in a military way. It was full of troops of allied forces in the Western Continent. No commoners could be seen in this region. If Zhang Tie was discovered by those fighters of allied human forces, he would absolutely be taken as an agent of the Three-eye Association and Sacred Alliance Empire and would be executed to death immediately without interrogation…
