Chapter 1210: The Halos of Gentleman

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

After hearing Donder’s gift, Zhang Tie became a bit shocked; however, it was still within his imagination.

Taiyi Fantasy Sect and the others might be dumbfounded by such a great gift; however, Zhang Tie was clear why Gold and Power Law was so generous this time. To put it straight, this gift meant that Gold and Power Law or the imperial court of Taixia Country wanted a reconciliation with him.

The culprit of the tragedy in Fuhai City was the major dragon-head of Gold and Power Law; when Zhang Tie was screwed, his identity was the dark gold manager of Gold and Power Law. Han Zhengfang made advantage of Zhang Tie’s trust to Gold and Power Law and gained some key information about Zhang Tie in Waii Subcontinent. Therefore, he set a plot in Fuhai City and almost killed Zhang Tie. This case was not an ordinary frame-up; it was more like a betrayal, the most despicable, shameless and chilling betrayal and sniper’s shot. As Han Zhengfang was the representative of the imperial court and imperial households of Taixia Country, it was the fault of the imperial court and imperial households of Taixia Country for not discovering Han Zhengfang’s real identity. Therefore, seriously, even the imperial court and imperial households of Taixia Country should be responsible for the tragedy in Fuhai City. Zhang Tie made a great meritorious deed for Taixia Country by inflicting a heavy loss on the Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province; however, he was struck, framed and wanted by the strength of the internal system of Taixia Country. If it was exposed to the public, Taixia Country would definitely lose its support among the people.

That was why Gold and Power Law presented such a “sincere” gift to Zhang Tie in his rotating chakra ceremony. If Zhang Tie had no belongings, he could establish a powerful clan with Gold and Power Law’s gift.

The relationship between Zhang Tie and Gold and Power Law was a secret. The so-called Dark Gold manager was his secret identity in Gold and Power Law. Zhang Tie had not exposed this secret to anyone except for Zhang Yang. He didn’t even tell it to the other clan elders of Huaiyuan Palace, not to mention Taiyi Fantasy Sect.

Therefore, after hearing the gift of Gold and Power Law, those who didn’t know the reason were shocked at once. Even if Gold and Power Law wanted to apologize to Zhang Tie, they didn’t need to send such a great gift. Therefore, the audience wondered about the motive of Gold and Power Law by doing this.

The earth knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect moved his eye light between Zhang Tie and the representatives of Gold and Power Law for quite a while as if he wanted to discover the secret between them.

The other elders of Huaiyuan Palace also responded to this gift with strange expressions. After calculating Zhang Tie’s private land area and cities in Youzhou Province, the elders of Huaiyuan Palace became stunned at once.

Zhang Tie’s Fire-dragon Bounty Territory occupied over 800,000 square miles’ land. After Guan Clan bought the rest part of the entire Yangui Mountain Range and gifted it to Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie’s land area reached over 1,700,000 square miles’ land. Previously, Zhang Tie had bought the Zanggu Plateau in Youzhou Province, which covered over 1,800,000 square miles’ land; plus the 1,200,000 square miles’ land that Gold and Power Law had gifted, Zhang Tie had over 4,800,000 square miles’ land in Youzhou Province, which was 8 times greater than that of Yanghe Prefecture of Huaiyuan Palace. Besides, Zhang Tie had 10 cities in his Fire-dragon Bounty Territory. Zhang Tie’s private land area and cities were greater than that of the entire Huaiyuan Palace.

No wonder Zhang Tie didn’t feel like taking over the position of the clan head. With so many land and cities, Zhang Tie could build another Huaiyuan Palace. Based on Zhang Tie’s temperament, he didn’t need to compete for the position of clan head with Zhang Taixuan at all. Given Zhang Tie’s properties and power and the position of the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace, nobody in Huaiyuan Palace dared say no to Zhang Tie. Additionally, they all wondered when did Zhang Tie establish such a close relationship with Demons Killing Valley; plus Heavens Fortune Sect which was also on Zhang Tie’s side, 3 of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country got along with Zhang Tie. Elder Mushen’s human relationship, resources and prestige could not be matched by any other members of Huaiyuan Palace, including the clan head…

All the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace thought that they had understood what Zhang Tie was thinking about. Zhang Taixuan also flickered his eyes as he watched Zhang Tie quietly.

Zhang Tie’s uncles and relatives on the auditorium were shocked too much that they couldn’t even utter a word. Zhang family’s shipyard was dwarfed by the gifts. At the same time, Zhang members realized Zhang Tie’s prestige and great influence outside.

The moment Gold and Power Law’s gift was reported, the auditorium was in an uproar at once. Closely after that, it became quiet again while everyone just watched Zhang Tie.

After being silent for a second, Zhang Tie opened his mouth. Without gratitude or refusal, Zhang Tie just watched manager Guan Xiyi and Donder of Gold and Power Law calmly as he said easily, “I will take the great gift of Gold and Power Law. As it’s in the holy war, let the bygones be bygones. As knights, we should unite with each other to resist the enemy together!”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, manager Guan Xiyi, Donder and all the others on the auditorium revealed a smile as if they had felt a sense of relief.

Zhang Tie had accepted the apology of Gold and Power Law. The overall situation of Taixia Country counted most. Now that Zhang Tie had forgotten about the personal grievances, he had saved the faces of Gold and Power Law and the imperial court of Taixia Country and didn’t make them too embarrassed in the public. Although the gift was great in the eyes of the others, it was nothing compared to the overall strength of Gold and Power Law, the richest sect among the top 7 sects of Taixia Country.

After making a deep bow towards Zhang Tie, Guan Xiyi and Donder left and returned to their seats.

It was Zhang Tie’s first time to receive other’s great gift while having them appreciate him and feel that he was personable, open-minded and aboveboard.

Zhang Tie could even understand Taiyi Fantasy Sect by returning the airboat to them, not to mention Gold and Power Law and that he had killed Han Zhengfang with a great achievement. The real man should be able to take something up and put it down with equal ease. Additionally, the great gift of Gold and Power Law was really thoughtful. When he met Donder a few days ago, he mentioned that he would return the airboat to Taiyi Fantasy Sect; it was out of his imagination that Gold and Power Law could gift him 2 airboats today. Now that Gold and Power Law respected him so much, he also showed his respect to Gold and Power Law so that both parties could be satisfied.

Everybody at present was pleasant except for the representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect.

After the representatives of Gold and Power Law retreated, the 4th batch of people who slapped the face of Taiyi Fantasy Sect entered the stage.

It was 2 stewards from Lord Guangnan’s Mansion.

“Lord Guangnan’s Mansion congratulate Elder Mushen on having a great and long fortune in cultivation base and eternal chakras. In order to congratulate Elder Mushen on promoting to an earth knight, Lord Guangnan’s Mansion especially gift 2,000 water-element crystals, 20 million gold coins, 2,000 pairs of jade ivories and earth-element rhino horns, 2,000 crates of gems, 100,000 kg starry violet gold, 800,000 kg top-class spirited sandalwood, 2,000 crates of various top-class medicaments and tribute tea leaves, 26,000 m long golden boa silk cloths, 2,000 domestic servants and Heavenly Stars City near Heavenly Stars Lake, which is a scenic spot in the south border of Taixia Country!”

After hearing this gift, the auditorium was in an uproar once again. Even the earth knights in the top 7 sects couldn’t receive such great gifts in their rotating chakra ceremonies one after another.

Many people who didn’t know the reason hurriedly asked others why Lord Guangnan’s Mansion “flattered” Elder Mushen so much. Soon after being hinted by those who knew the reason, everybody had understood it as they all threw their glance at Bai Suxian who was the most beautiful one on the auditorium——it turns out that Elder Mushen has convinced the princess of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion and will establish a connection with Lord Guangnan’s Mansion through marriage. No wonder Lord Guangnan is so generous; he’s sending this gift to his son-in-law.

At this moment, many people had the same thought when they watched the beautiful wives of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian, ‘Elder Mushen is really the most romantic man in the world!’

By contrast, the faces of those representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect had turned black. Being fully confident, Taiyi Fantasy Sect had completely deteriorated into minor roles. Even though their gift ranked last among the gifts of the other major clans and Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, they couldn’t lose a temper.

In the eyes of the audience, Zhang Tie became more dignified and mysterious on the silver throne. In the eyes of these people, even though Zhang Tie just sat there, he was giving out light all over. At the same time, he was releasing a strong surging qi in a formidable way.

After the representatives of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion returned to their seats, more and more guests congratulated Zhang Tie on the stage, including the representatives of Zhu Clan the provincial governor’s clan in Yanzhou Province, Qian Clan the provincial governor’s clan in Tongzhou Province and the major clans in Youzhou Province. Although these clans’ gifts couldn’t match that of the 3 top sects and Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, they were also prepared carefully and could match the identities of those clans themselves.

Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanyi’s disciples also sent a great gift to Zhang Tie on behalf of Minling Swordsmanship Sect in Guzhou Province.

As Zhang Tie once saved Lin Huanxi’s life, Lu Zhongming’s and Lin Huanxi’s gift was really expensive, including 400 water-element crystals, 400 tons of gold, 4 bronze secret items, 400 crates of precious specialties in Guzhou Province and a secret book about the joint attack that the couple received by accident.

The disciples of Nangong Sheng, the founder of Immortal Fist Position Sect also congratulated Zhang Tie with a great gift.

Even Zhao Clan and Yang Clan in Military Province had sent their gifts, not to mention those major clans whose disciples were in Iron-Dragon Sect.

When Yang Clan’s juniors entered the stage, there was an episode. Previously, Yang Clan in Military Province only had one knight-level elder Yang Zhenjun. After Yang Zhenyun lost his life in the Earth-elements Realm, Yan Clan’s situation declined greatly over these years. All the representatives of Yang Clan entered the stage to congratulate Zhang Tie; additionally, their gift was greatly dwarfed by that of Zhao Clan in Military Province. Actually, Yang Clan’s gift couldn’t even account 1/5 of that of Zhao Clan. Yang Clan only gifted 1 million gold coins, 2 rune equipment which had just broken through the bottleneck of black iron effect and 20 crates of specialties in Military Province.

The clan head of Yang Clan reported the gift himself, which aroused the discussion of the audience at once. Compared to the shocks caused by the gifts of the top 3 sects and Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, Yang Clan’s gift was also shocking to another extreme. Such a cheap gift was even enough to congratulate a black iron’s rotating chakra ceremony, not to mention an earth knight’s rotating chakra ceremony. The clan head and all the disciples of Yang Clan felt bashful as they just lowered their heads.

Under the strange looks of the audience, Zhang Tie left his silver throne and deeply bowed towards the clan head and disciples of Yang Clan. Zhang Tie’s movements not only made the audience dumbfounded, but also made the clan head and disciples of Yang Clan perplexed.

“Zhang Tie is bowing towards the martyr of Yang Clan. Zhang Tie got acquainted with Elder brother Zhenjun in the Earth-elements Realm and experienced life or death situations together. We were comrades-in-arms. I’ve not imagined that Elder brother Zhenjun had fought demons to death in the center of Tiewei Mountain in the first abyss of the Earth-elements Realm when Zhang Tie came out of the dilemma a few years later. Elder brother Zhenjun was dauntless in front of the large formation of demon knights and finally sacrificed himself for the sake of humans and Taixia Country, leaving nothing but his clothes. When I heard that news, I let out a deep sigh too. Elder brother Zhenjun was full of zeal with imperishable noble spirit. He lived and died for humans. He should be the model of our peer knights. With such a heroic forebear, Yang Clan deserve Zhang Tie’s bow!”

Soon after hearing Zhang Tie’s words, all the representatives of Yang Clan dissolved in tears. As a result, all the juniors knelt down in front of Zhang Tie and kowtowed towards Zhang Tie. By then, all the “strange” looks on Yang Clan’s representatives turned deferent. How could the clan members of a late hero be despised by people because of a poor gift?

After Yang clan’s representatives stood up and straightened up with tears over their faces, Zhang Tie told the clan head of Yang Clan, “Although the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect has passed, I want to enroll another two disciples today. Would disciples of Yang Clan like to join Iron-Dragon Sect?”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, the clan head of Yang Clan surged out more tears. Yan Clan indeed expected that Zhang Tie could enroll some members of Yang Clan as his disciples given the friendship between Zhang Tie and the clan head of Yang Clan so that Yang Clan could see a hope to reinvigorate. They had not imagined that Zhang Tie had known their intention before they asked for that. Therefore, the clan head immediately intended to kneel down towards Zhang Tie; however, Zhang Tie stopped him by grabbing his arm.

“Tiecheng, Tieqiang, hurry up, kowtow towards your master!” The clan head of Yang Clan turned around and shouted towards two members of Yang Clan as he caught Zhang Tie’s arm tightly with tears all over his face.

Two 18-year-old young men knelt down in front of Zhang Tie once again as they immediately knocked onto the ground with their foreheads forcefully. When they raised their heads, their foreheads had already turned red.

Zhang Tie helped the two disciples stand up on his own initiative. Closely after that, he pointed at the area of the representatives of Iron-Dragon Sect before saying, “You’re my disciples today. Take a seat over there after talking with your family members.

This episode didn’t take Zhang Tie too much time. After Yang Clan’s representatives returned to their area, the rotating chakra ceremony continued. However, after such an episode, many people watched Zhang Tie with more curious and awestruck eye light.

The halos of a gentleman were educational, pitying and upholding the justice.

‘If Zhang Tie’s deeds were regarded as buying popularity, hypocrites are expected to spread over the world. Because everyone expects their hearts to be bought in this way.’ Many people let out a sigh with emotion inside.

The process of congratulations took them 2 hours. Zhang Tie also received numerous gifts.

After the link of congratulations, many guests felt that the grand occasion of Elder Mushen’s rotating chakra ceremony and so many much-told tales in the ceremony would definitely be spread over the world. The fame of Zhang Tie, Zhang Mushen would reach a new height in Taixia Country.

“It’s said that Elder Mushen has awakened an immortal bloodline and could change your look casually like shadow demons; additionally, the means that Elder Mushen used to convert between two secret methods is really rare. May you show us that talent today?” A distant voice drifted from the auditorium of Taiyi Fantasy Sect after the last congratulant left…
