Chapter 1731: Warning

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

After Wu Qiankun left Yangxin Palace, Zhang Tie just sat still in Yangxin Palace while emptying his mind.

One of the most important reasons why Zhang Tie chose to found another Forbidden City in Motian Realm was that Zhang Tie felt that Forbidden City was featured with Hua characteristics and traditions. Take the word “Yangxin” as an instance, it carried a lot of contents about behaving properly to improve one’s character. In Zhang Tie’s opinion, such a profound cultural background was the foundation for Hua people to be unrivaled in the world where Zhang Tie came from.

Each brick, wood, tile or house even the names of those palaces and halls across Forbidden City contained special meanings. As for a person who left his hometown, such special meanings made Zhang Tie nostalgic and reassured. At least, he would not feel too lonely.

Pitifully, after Zhang Tie started to stay still for less than 10 minutes, he had heard the familiar footsteps of Leng Manxue.

“Your Majesty, here’s the work..report of Qianji Agency over past 1 month…!”

When Leng Manxue uttered “work report”, she felt unaccustomed to it. The phrase “work report” was created by Zhang Tie. Additionally, it was one of the missions that Zhang Tie handed to Leng Manxue. As the general manager of Forbidden City, Leng Manxue had to follow Zhang Tie’s orders while helping him keep the normal operation of Qianji Agency and the five major departments.

After kneading his temples for a few seconds, Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he saw a document on his desk.

Zhang Tie took that document and skimmed over it.

It was all about what happened in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in the past one more month. They were listed chronologically in the form of titles of news, respectively followed by a succinct explanation below. Only after taking a look at it, Zhang Tie had almost known the situation facing Qianji Agency over the past 40-odd days.

Zhang Tie felt that they were all trivial affairs on the work report.  ( NovelFull )

According to the work report, some events were about the transfer of the positions of some earth immortal generals in the immortal palace, some of whom had long joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; some events were about the allocation of funds for building roads and cities, expanding farms and relief. As Dragon Emperor Big Domain was so large, earthquakes, floods, heavy winds and mountain fire accidents couldn’t be avoided in so many cities. Such accidents would happen in many places annually, in which occasions, reliefs should be provided for them from Dragon Emperor City.

According to the work report, some regions neighboring Brokenstars Ocean in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain had encountered a wind disaster at the end of July.

Zhang Tie had skimmed over all the messages on the report, but he paid special attention to this wind disaster.

Over 10 cities and tens of millions of people were afflicted by this disaster. As a result, over 100,000 people were injured or killed and many houses collapsed…

Watching the names of those cities being afflicted, Zhang Tie immediately visualized the miserable scene after the heavy wind. He then heaved a sigh inside. On many occasions, humans, even sage-level human knights were as trivial as ants facing natural disasters. Even if Zhang Tie was something, he could only cope with the aftermath of the disasters.

Thankfully, Earth-Treasures Department, Immortal Generals Department and Qianji Agency had made responses timely. Without Zhang Tie’s consent, they had already delivered the reliefs and crystal coins to the disaster-stricken areas.

“Are there always wind disasters in the region near Brokenstars Ocean in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain?” Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue as he scrutinized the work report.

“No. This wind disaster is too weird and dangerous. We’ve not encountered such a heavy wind disaster for over 10 years!”

“Hmm… Jadewood City, Jadebrilliance City and Yellowdragon City even occurred an earthquake on August 6…” Zhang Tie saw another message below as he slightly frowned. After realizing that the three cities didn’t suffer a big loss or heavy casualty and Qianji Agency has made a proper arrangement to cope with the aftermath of the earthquake, Zhang Tie slowly relieved his frown.

At the end of the work report, Zhang Tie saw a message about the rarities left by the last Rune Emperor in the Dark Valley. Through discussion, the 7 elders of Qianji Agency determined to have Earth-Treasures Department dispatch some immortal generals to investigate it in the Dark Valley first. They had not determined whether Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was going to get them or not. They would make a further arrangement after receiving the message from those immortal generals in the Dark Valley.

It only took Zhang Tie a couple of minutes to master all the information on the work report of Qianji Agency over the past 40-odd days.

After he finished reading it, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. ‘It’s really not easy to be an owner of an immortal palace; especially Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. After that, Zhang Tie felt a bit lucky. Thankfully, he had founded Qianji Agency and sort out the authorities in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Otherwise, he had to deal with these trivial affairs himself every day and would have no time to cultivate.

“I appreciate your hard work. Just present the following work reports to me like this…” Zhang Tie told Leng Manxue after putting down the work report. When he raised his head, Zhang Tie found that Leng Manxue was watching him with a weird and exploratory expression. Stroking his face, Zhang Tie asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?”

“No!” Leng Manxue answered as she shook her head. All of a sudden, she heaved a sigh, aking, “Did Wu Qiankun come here on behalf of Star Emperor Immortal Palace?”

Zhang Tie was slightly shocked by Leng Manxue’s question as he nodded frankly, saying, “You’ve known that!”

“Wu Qiankun came here with an immortal general of Star Emperor Immortal Palace for the first time. This time, he came here with some heavy iron cabinets. Therefore, I guess that an agreement has been reached on resolving the conflicts between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace. Emperor NvWa Palace and Wu Qiankun are just mediators in this negotiation!”

“Yes, you’re right. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace will not cross the line. All the conflicts between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace have been canceled once and for all. After all, if we continue to go against each other, neither of us would gain any advantage from it; instead, the fisher would gain benefits from our contradictions!”

“The fisher?” Leng Manxue slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows. Given the context, although she could understand a bit of what Zhang Tie meant by “the fisher would gain benefits”; she was still confused about that.

Watching Leng Manxue’s expression, Zhang Tie instantly realized that there wasn’t such an allusion——when an aquatic bird fought a clam, the fisher took both of them away in Motian Realm.

“Ahem…ahem…I mean…I mean demons would gain benefits from the contradictions between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace!” Zhang Tie hurriedly added.

“Yes. If demons know that Your Majesty is trading with Star Emperor Immortal Palace using living demon immortals, as it is concerned about the dignity of demons, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Your Majesty would definitely be revenged by demons. The 7 elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might also complain about that!” Leng Manxue suddenly told Zhang Tie secretly using her battle qi.

“You’ve known that?” Zhang Tie watched Leng Manxue with a surprised look. ‘The keys of those safes are still in my hand. Leng Manxue couldn’t open them at all. But how did she know that?’

“Your Majesty, I know it because it’s related to an ancestral bloodline that I’ve awakened. As long as a living demon is close to me, I would sense it even if there was a forbidden system in between. Just now, when I arranged some guys to move those iron cabinets to the entrance of backroom under Jiaotai Palace, I’ve already sensed it. I’ve tried several times and got the same result. Therefore, I know that the iron cabinets contain demon generals!”

Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile as it was really out of his imagination that Leng Manxue had awakened such a special ancestral bloodline. He regarded it as a secret trade. Unimaginably, it was discovered by someone at a stroke.

“You’re the only one in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace who knows this besides me. I hope nobody else would know about it!” Zhang Tie warned Leng Manxue slightly.

Leng Manxue nodded. After that, she warned Zhang Tie solemnly, “Your Majesty, you might not know Star Emperor, no matter what trade you have made with Star Emperor, you’d better stay alert. Among all the human powers, Star Emperor is the trickiest one who has numerous schemes. He could almost match the Tricky Demon Emperor. Across Motian Realm, so many powers have been killed by Star Emperor…”

“Well, I know. I appreciate your warning…” Zhang Tie took a serious look at Leng Manxue as he nodded and stood up, saying, “Well, I got to go back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Call the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a supper for me…”

After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhang Tie took a bath and changed a set of clothes. After that, he made some arrangements and had a grand supper. By then, the tiredness caused by over one month’s cultivation finally faded away.

After being a bit composed, Zhang Tie came to Jiaotai Palace where he moved the five safes into his backroom and continued to cultivate.

He gradually shattered and refined all the 5 demon knights’ wind chakras…
