Chapter 1781: The Possible Crisis

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

The heavily burning Si Clan’s castle in Cyan Lotus City had been lagged far behind by Zhang Tie. Being invisible, Zhang Tie was flying towards Nine Heavens Big Domain as fast as a lightning bolt at hundreds of thousands of meters high in the air.

No airboat and very few immortal generals could be seen at such a high altitude. Additionally, Zhang Tie didn’t need to race against time anymore. Even though he met a couple of immortal generals on the way accidentally, due to the large distance, those immortal generals couldn’t find Zhang Tie at all. Therefore, Zhang Tie just flew rapidly and leisurely.

Although Zhang Tie didn’t reach his highest speed, his speed was absolutely shocking enough.

After saving the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect and unveiling the conspiracy of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie finally became reassured. As for the future of Yin-Yang Sect and how would human immortal palaces deal with Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, it was none of Zhang Tie’s concern for the time being. It was not his turn to care about that at all. Zhang Tie only did what he could do so that he would not feel regretful. As for the success of this action, besides his great power, Zhang Tie also felt a bit lucky. If His Honor Cyan Dragon and Grand Justice You were in Cyan Dragon Palace, he would never complete this action so smoothly.

Not knowing why, since he left Cyan Lotus City, Xue Yuxiu’s face had been looming in Zhang Tie’s mind. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly flew towards Sunnyprospect River in Nine Heavens Big Domain; instead of returning to Dragon Emperor Big Domain. He would like to meet the will of the woman.

Sunnyprospect River was a big river in the north of Nine Heavens Big Domain which lasted thousands of miles. At such a speed, it only took Zhang Tie less than half an hour to arrive at the mountain ranges in the north of Nine Heavens Big Domain after leaving Cyan Lotus City. Sunnyprospect River was wriggling through those mountain ranges.

With a flash, Zhang Tie came to a boulder on the riverside of Sunnyprospect River from the sky.

Being on the sand beach, the boulder was surrounded by woods. There were purple wildflowers all over the sand beach. The crystal and tranquil river flew by the boulder. There wasn’t anybody within dozens of miles. Taking a broad view, Zhang Tie saw undulating green mountains and woods which were secluded and magnificent.

Zhang Tie then took out those icy beads from his portable luggage. Closely after that, those icy beads flew off his palm and came to the center of the river the moment he ran his spiritual energy. Closely after that, the icy beads vaporized. As the breeze blew by, all the ashes of Xue Yuxiu sprayed over the river and became an integral part of the river.

“Wish you stay with your Brother Luo happily and peacefully in the next life and never separate from each other…”

Zhang Tie murmured. This was the last thing that he could do for Xue Yuxiu as he had promised her.

Watching the flowing river silently, Zhang Tie suddenly felt a bit sad. He stayed silent for quite a while. Since her Brother Luo left this world, that woman had been living in hatred and grievance. She had tasted all the three bitterness in one’s life, namely failing to get what she wanted, separation from her beloved one and grievance. In order to avenge her beloved one, Xue Yuxiu had tried every means she could. Perhaps, she finally got rid of bitterness now.

Xue Yuxiu’s death impressed Zhang Tie a lot. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie understood one thing——Golden-Soul Rune Virus couldn’t control immortal generals completely. As “His Majesty” wanted to control immortal generals with Golden-Soul Runed Virus while keeping their consciousness, he had to sustain the risk of the resistance of the ego of those immortal generals that he controlled. Of course, the result of such a resistance would lead to the death of the immortal generals themselves as their guts would be heavily destroyed by Golden-Soul Rune Virus.

Xue Yuxiu was not killed by Qian Changqing directly; instead, she was killed by Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Although Qian Changqing’s strike heavily hurt her, it was not fatal. By contrast, the response of Golden-Soul Rune Virus killed her in a short period of time.

It was a loophole of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. However, less than 1 of 10,000 immortal knights might be brave enough to challenge that; because it meant that they were killing themselves by doing that. Even though immortal general were not brave enough to end their own lives.

“His Majesty” was definitely familiar with people’s nature. That got to be humans. A person who used to live bitter lives or couldn’t see a bright future due to oppression probably committed suicide as they didn’t treasure their lives too much. However, almost no immortal generals or knights would commit suicide. Even in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie had not seen or heard that knights committed suicide. Because knights had high social positions and favorable living environment. They even had a bright future and greater life expectancy. Therefore, these people always treasured their lives very much. Unless they had to do that or on the battlefield, no knight would like to end their own lives.

From this perspective, even though there was such a loophole, it would not influence Golden-Soul Rune Virus’ control over immortal generals.

Standing on the bank of Sunnyprospect River, Zhang Tie thought for quite a while. After that, Zhang Tie rushed into the sky and flew towards Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

The discovery of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace was an alert for Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie realized that there might be more dangerous people or roles hiding on his side. To respond to these challenges and dangers, he had no other means but to improve his battle strength.

After solving the problem facing Yin-Yang Sect, Zhang Tie would use all the favorable conditions to promote to a semi-sage level knight as soon as possible.

On the way towards Dragon Emperor City, a question occurred to him——I’ve exposed Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to the public. Although Dark Emperor Immortal Palace doesn’t know who is Donder; nor would I have Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace involved in this event, would Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace really make no response to this event?

‘Dark Emperor Immortal Palace is composed of four palaces. Besides Cyan Dragon Palace, I know nothing about the other three palaces. Over the years when Dragon Emperor disappeared, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was like a piece of fat which many human forces and demon forces in Motian Realm were casting covetous eyes on. Given “His Majesty”‘s shrewdness and the style of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, hasn’t “His Majesty” noticed that it was a great opportunity for him to subdue Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace? Even sage-level knights could be bought over by him, not to mention those elders and grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace who were semi-sage level knights.’

‘Suppose the fake Dragon Emperor and I didn’t appear, over the hundreds of years, if “His Majesty” could really control those elders or grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and help an elder or grand justice of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace promote to a sage-level knight, that sage-level knight would be able to take over the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace aboveboard. By then, wouldn’t Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Dragon Emperor Big Domain fall in the hand of “His Majesty”?’

It was a profitable trade; additionally, it was the most important means for Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to expand its influence——to control a clan or a force by controlling its head or some influential figures of the clan.

Zhang Tie’s heart raced the moment he thought about that.
