Castle of Black Iron

Since he owned the ability of lotus-flower eyes in the Earth-elements Realm, Zhang Tie found that the more seeds of fiery lotus flowers he ate, the more brilliant the 6 surging points around his eyes would be and the more powerful his lotus-flower eyes would get.

In a common state, as long as Zhang Tie activated his ability of lotus-flower eyes, he could easily see through 1,000 m underground. In lotus-flower eyes, there were only temperatures, instead of solid objects. Precisely, in lotus-flower eyes, there was only independent light composed of transparent color temperatures. If there was any demand, Zhang Tie could even filter out the masking effect of color temperatures and see clearly what was inside or behind the object.

Zhang Tie didn’t reveal this ability to anyone else, including his elder brother and Bai Suxian.

As Zhang Tie had too many secrets, if he revealed all of them to others, the others might not stand it mentally.

It was also awful if one was too weird.

In the eyes of commoners, the ground and the surrounding stones and cliffs had been searched over seriously. Many places had even been damaged; even the traces were fresh. They could not have any new discovery. After deepening his eye light into the cliffs for hundreds of meters, Zhang Tie could still see a lot of bare rocks, some small natural karst caves and some stalactites which were still dripping water.

The problem lay in a region of the dome of this underground space.

The dome of this underground space was over 200 m high in the shape of an irregular half gourd. There were stalactites hanging from the top of this underground space like bamboo shoots while dripping water. Like the situation on the ground here, the dome of this underground space might have also been seriously checked because the many stalactites had been broken by force, covering the ground.

No matter how, as long as this place was not blown out, the elite forces of the Supreme Court would not discover the special space in the dome of that underground space.

That special space was over 30 m deeper in the dome; additionally, the tunnel outside the space had been completely blocked by rocks as if the rocks grew out of there naturally. Outside that tunnel, there was a natural chasm on the dome. Besides, there was a broken stalactite beside the chasm...

Commoners could not climb that high to check it. Knights wouldn’t blow out the dome to see whether there’s something dozens of meters inside the dome. If they really did that, even the knights who checked it might be buried alive.

Because of above reasons, that hidden space was preserved.

That space was a natural karst cave in the underground space in the shape of a wedge. Being broad in the front and narrow in the back, it was longer than 20 m, wider than 5 m and about 5-8 m in height. The space was about 600 cubic meters with slight traces of artificial renovation.

At the sight of the items inside that special space, Zhang Tie’s heart pounded at once.

There were four locked square black metal containers like mini safes on the ground of that special space.

Zhang Tie was too familiar with such containers because it was his second time to see them. He saw such a container in Upton City, Waii Subcontinent for the first time, when it held a double-headed parent puppet worm.

Under the gaze of Zhang Tie, the dozens of meters thick cliff and those black metal containers inside it turned transparent. In those black metal containers, Zhang Tie saw the disgusting, slimy liquid and the double-headed parent puppet worms which looked like sea cucumbers in the liquid.

The 4 double-headed parent puppet worms were creeping in the liquid and were ready for killing numerous people at any time.

Although Zhang Tie just looked up the dome casually, the 4 creeping double-headed parent puppet worms in the 4 black metal containers made his heart pound immediately. As a result, he slowed down unconsciously...

”What are you looking at?” Bai Suxian whispered to Zhang Tie.

”Hoho, nothing. Now that the elites of the Supreme Court have already searched over here, others might not find any intelligence valuable here!”

”Even though there’s no valuable intelligence here, if not come here for the first-hand intelligence, many people might not have a good sleep. Even if the Supreme Court knows something, they have to notice some powerful forces in Taixia Country. If you want to know that, I can inquire it from Lord Guangnan’s Mansion when it’s proper!”

Women were always extroverted. After Zhang Tie told her that he would seek a marriage alliance in Lord Guangnan’s Mansion 3 years later, Bai Suxian had long treated herself as Zhang Tie’s wife as she would always consider Zhang Tie’s thoughts.

Zhang Tie revealed a smile before saying, ”After taking a round here, let’s leave. There’s nothing valuable clue here anymore.” Bai Suxian didn’t find that Zhang Tie’s smile was a bit unusual.

”Sure! This place is indeed depressive. It makes people uncomfortable...”

When Zhang Tie talked with Bai Suxian, he had thought through 4 things.

First, the 4 double-headed parent puppet worms must be left by the Heavens Reaching Church. They definitely wanted to use the double-headed parent puppet worms to coordinate with the bloody figures in the bloody sea. As long as the opportunity was ripe, the bloody figures would take action. At the same time, the 4 double-headed parent puppet worms would create tens of millions of demonized puppets in Zhongzhou Province to deteriorate the entire province, causing great damages in the hinterland of Taixia Country.

Second, as the event in Zhongzhou Province broke out suddenly, Wen Clan and Heavens Reaching Church didn’t have time to take away the double-headed parent puppet worms by a space teleportation item. Even Wen Haoyun couldn’t take them away in such a short period although he had a portable space-teleportation item. Therefore, he could only leave the 4 precious double-headed parent puppet worms here for the time being.

Third, now that Wen Haoyun had not been caught, after knowing that the 4 double-headed parent puppet worms were still left here, Heavens Reaching Church would definitely have someone take them away. After all, double-headed parent puppet worms were not as cheap as white cabbages; conversely, they were too precious.

Fourth, if Heavens Reaching Church wanted to have someone take away the double-headed parent puppet worms from here, they’d better choose recent days. If the double-headed parent puppet worms were left here for too long, they might be discovered by someone. Lately, almost all the forces had been here to gain the first-hand intelligence. The forces of the Supreme Court had also left. Pingsha Valley was gradually ”cooling down”. Even so, some people would also come here to join the fun. If they took away the double-headed parent worms with the excuse of inquiring first-hand intelligence, they would not arouse anyone’s attention at all.

When he thought about this, a crazy and audacious plan occurred to Zhang Tie’s mind, causing his heart to pound...

After Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and their disciples took a round here, the crazy and audacious plan had gradually become mature in Zhang Tie’s mind.

Zhang Tie had made his determination, ’Whatever, I have to have a trial at the risk of my life.’

”Let’s go back!” Zhang Tie finally sent his order calmly after taking a round in the underground space for over 10 minutes.

Before leaving, some tracing feathers silently flew out of Zhang Tie’s forehead and floated up into a chasm of the dome of the underground space. Before Zhang Tie came back once again, as long as any knight-level powerhouse entered here and broke that secret tunnel, those tracing feathers would attach to that person’s body automatically in case of an emergency.

It took Zhang Tie’s team less than 1 hour in the underground space.

When they approached the entrance of the hole, at the sight of the light, Zhang Tie’s disciples started to breathe the fresh air forcefully...
