Chapter 1679: Being Alert on the Way

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

Zhang Tie arrived at the conference room and greeted Liu brothers and the others closely followed by Leng Manxue and Huang Baimei’s appearance when all the immortal generals at present stood up, including Zhang Tie.

“Take a seat, please…” Huang Baimei said kindly as he waved his hand without putting any airs. After everybody sat down, Huang Baimei looked around before sitting on the main seat at the desk. After that, he looked at Zhang Tie on his side, saying, “Deputy head, how was you cultivation these days?”

It was out of Zhang Tie’s imagination that Huang Baimei would like to talk with him first. After hearing his question, Zhang Tie answered seriously, “As we know, perseverance is requested in cultivation; diligence is like a seedling in early spring; its growth could not be discovered within a short period of time; however, you would find it for long. Indolence is like a sharpening stone; its loss couldn’t be discovered within a short period of time; however, you would find it for long.”

Previously, Huang Baimei just asked Zhang Tie as a starting remark; unimaginably, Zhang Tie’s words made everyone at present spirited. Even Ji Yuelan who pretended to neglect Zhang Tie instantly turned around and looked at Zhang Tie. Jiang Ruoxin’s and Leng Manxue’s eyes shone at a split second as they took a deep look at Zhang Tie. As for others, Xun Zizhou was overemphasizing as he directly took out a notebook and scribbled down Zhang Tie’s proverb like an old teacher.

Liu brothers who talked with Zhang Tie just now gazed at Zhang Tie as if he was their idol, putting Zhang Tie on the spot.

Noticing their responses, Zhang Tie instantly realized that he had exposed one more classic proverb unconsciously.

After being shocked for a few seconds, Huang Baimei looked at Zhang Tie from his head to toe again before saying leisurely, “I’ve long heard that the deputy head is good in both battle strength and literary talent. Deputy head always has thought-provoking proverbs. With such a great talent, you’re really wronged to be only a deputy head. When we get back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain, I will recommend deputy head to the Censorate of the immortal palace…”

After hearing Huang Baimei’s words, even Zhou Baifei who pretended to stay calm couldn’t stand taking a look at Zhang Tie out of jealousy.

The Censorate of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was directly affiliated to the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, which was responsible for inspecting and supervising immortal generals of all the branches of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Each job in it was supreme and pretty distinguished. Serving as a staff in it, people would be able to contact the core powers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Even if Zhang Tie’s title rank remained unchanged, his power and social status could exceed Huang Baimei.

“Ahem ahem, forget about it; head, don’t make me embarrassed…”

Even Zhang Tie felt bashful accepting such a benefit standing on the shoulder of the giant. Therefore, he declined it hurriedly.

“That’s the deal. When we get back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain, I would definitely recommend deputy head to the elders when I make a report on my work!” Huang Baimei continued. After that, he took a look at the others at present as he spoke louder, “Not only deputy head, everyone at present would have a chance to be promoted as long as you’re talented and are faithful to the immortal palace!”

Huang Baimei comforted the other immortal generals at present. Since they left Heavenly Square City, although they didn’t talk about it, they were all worried about losing their power after getting back to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. As all the cities in Dragon Emperor Big Domain were already under the control of the current branches and immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, as freshmen there, they could not assume the same titles within a short period of time. As a result, their titles and ranks were almost useless. In the worst scenario, they might be allocated with unimportant jobs. It would not be easy for them to be outstanding back there anymore.

Element crystal was an incentive for them to join the immortal palace; however, it was not the mere reason. A manager of a big business group might not have high compensation; however, the benefits and resources that he could enjoy were far greater than that bit of compensation. If they could get good titles there, they would not lack element crystals at all.

After the others nodded, Huang Baimei changed his tone again as he clarified the subject of this meeting, “However, before this, we should arrive at Dragon Emperor Big Domain safe and sound!”

“Head, do you mean it’s dangerous on the way?” Xun Zizhou put away his notebook as he posed such a question properly.

“Maybe; maybe not. However, we have to make corresponding preparations!”

“Head, what do you mean?” Zhou Baifei asked.

“You should remember the contradictions between Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Nine Heavens Big Domain a few months ago; especially that Star Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t make any response to the death of their immortal generals in Heavenly Square City before we left there. It’s never the style of Star Emperor Immortal Palace. Therefore, I’m afraid that Star Emperor Immortal Palace would not let it go.”

“Head, you’re worried that Star Emperor Immortal Palace is going to raid us?” Jiang Ruoxin asked with a faint frown.

“Star Emperor Immortal Palace could barely fight us face-to-face. If two emperor-level immortal palaces are in a war, it would be a major event. After Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace evacuated its force out of Nine Heavens Big Domain, the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace have already reached an agreement with the others immortal palaces such as Unicorn Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Those immortal palaces have already taken their stands; they would never stand Star Emperor Immortal Palace provoking the war and destroying the territory of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace or killing immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for no reason. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace want to raid us, they’re not only confronting with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace alone; instead, they’re facing a greater part of human immortal palaces!”

‘This might be one of the articles that the Church of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and the others immortal palaces have made with the compensation of those cities.’ Zhang Tie thought as he asked, “Head, you mean Star Emperor Immortal Palace would do it secretly?”

“I think so!” Huang Baimei nodded as his face turned solemn, “These days, our fleet just traveled in populated areas; therefore, we were safe for the time being. Starting from this afternoon, our airboats would arrive at Brokenstars Ocean. Only by passing through Brokenstars Ocean could we arrive at Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Brokenstars Ocean is the most mysterious and dangerous area. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace want to raid us, they would definitely choose this area. Therefore, we have to be alert…”

“From today on, we will patrol outside the airboats by three shifts every day. As long as we find anything abnormal, we need to send a warning at once. As me and deputy head are water immortal generals with the greatest battle strength among you, each of us is a team. The rest of you is a team under the leadership of General Deacon Leng. Each team would be on duty for one day. Am I clear?”

All the people at present then nodded as it was a pretty proper arrangement. As Huang Baimei and Zhang Tie had the greatest battle strength, of course, they could be a team respectively. The others could assist each other when in an emergency.

“I will be on duty today. You’d better perform this formation in the airboat today in case of emergency…” Huang Baimei said as he took out something odd and allocated one to each of them.

It was a tan little ball as large as longan being covered with dense runes and bizarre patterns. Zhang Tie played with it with a confused look. However, the others had already put the little ball onto their central forehead. Closely after that, they all made a strange hand gesture. Closely after that, the little ball entered their central forehead with a golden light. Zhang Tie was shocked as he exclaimed inside, ‘F*ck, is it a golden secret item?’

In the end, only Zhang Tie was scratching his head and watching the others bashfully, asking, “Erm…erm, what’s this? How do I use it?”

“Ah? You never used formation bead?” All the others exclaimed as they watched Zhang Tie unbelievably…
