Castle of Black Iron

What made Han Yuanhong’s face gloomier was that more and more people poured towards the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market as they talked with each other; actually, many people directly ran over here from outside; instead from inside.

Zhang Tie’s loud voice shocked too many people inside the Gold and Power Market too.

Han Yuanhong had not been such embarrassed in his own territory. Watching more and more people gathering around him, Han Yuanhong threw an icy glance at Zhang Tie before gritting his teeth.

”Whatever, the fact is that you’ve killed people at Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market. Arrest Cui Li!” Han Yuanhong roared.

”Who dares to move?” Zhang Tie’s eyes sparkled like a lightning bolt as his battle qi tornado immediately rushed into the sky with a real fire-dragon as long as about 1,500 m behind him. The fire-dragon image rose up in the air with a yelp that rent the air. Closely after that, it dove downwards by flapping its wings and suspended near the Qian Gate. As a result, it became dark at once near the Qian Gate. Such a domineering fire-dragon image aroused all the others’ exclamations at once.

Han Yuanhong didn’t imagine the two points today: first, he didn’t imagine that Zhang Tie had completely figured out the background of Han Clan. He wanted to deal with Zhang Tie by the fact that Zhang Tie killed people in Xuanyuan Hill; however, he didn’t imagine that Zhang Tie didn’t come to terms at all; second, Han Yuanhong didn’t imagine that Zhang Tie really dared fight him in the public. It was not in other places, but in Xuanyuan Hill. If they fought here, they had to assume the corresponding outcome.

Facing such a single man who was not afraid of fighting him verbally and physically, all the means that Han Yuanhong used to deal with those earth knights and black iron knights didn’t work any longer. Given Zhang Tie’ current look, he didn’t even care that it was in Gold and Power Market. Therefore, he couldn’t arrest Zhang Tie without a battle.

’Should I start the battle?’

Han Yuanhong hesitated. At the sight of Zhang Tie’s fire-dragon image, Han Yuanhong had known that he met a tricky guy today. If he really started the battle, almost half of the Gold and Power Market would be destroyed. Although knights could not fly in Xuanyuan Hill, their battle strength and destructive power remained unchanged.

”Who dares to move?” When Han Yuanhong became hesitated, another roar like that of Zhang Tie’s drifted from inside Gold and Power Market. Along with this roar, a shadow darted towards here from dozens of meters away on the top of those buildings on both roadsides. Closely after that, he landed beside Zhang Tie steadily, breaking many slates into pieces.

Although he was short and thin, he still revealed a mountain-like overwhelming qi.

”Elder brother, it’s you...” Zhang Tie watched Mountain Lifting Hermit who was descending from the sky surprisingly. He had not imagined that he could meet Mountain Lifting Hermit once again in Xuanyuan Hill after leaving the Earth-elements Realm.

It had been a few years since they separated from each other in the hieron’s ruins. Mountain Lifting Hermit looked as same as that when Zhang Tie met him for the first time——high nose, high forehead, some silver hair near his ears, slim sparkling eyes, It seemed that Mountain Lifting Hermit had fully recovered. Additionally, his cultivation base had improved a bit.

Mountain Lifting Hermit watched Zhang Tie with a faint, warm smile, ”A few days ago, I received the news from my old friend in the Earth-elements Realm. He said that you were still alive and had promoted to an earth knight. Furthermore, you made remarkable military exploits in Tiewei Mountain and was rewarded with a bounty land before leaving Earth-elements Realm. I was thinking to look for you after attending this Treasures Meeting; I’ve not imagined that I could hear your voice here. Therefore, I came here to take a look. What a coincidence!”

Mountain Lifting Hermit was always silent. Now that he could say so many words this time, it indicated that he must be very thrilled.

”Elder brother, wait for me on one side, there might be a bloody battle in the Gold and Power Market today. If I could survive the battle, I will talk about the old days with you!” Zhang Tie told Mountain Lifting Hermit solemnly.

After throwing a glance at Han Yuanhong and his two subordinate knights, Mountain Lifting Hermit revealed a faint smile, ”Younger brother, are you looking down upon me? Even my life is saved by you. Today, this elder brother will accompany you to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, whether it’s in Xuanyuan Hill or not. As long as younger brother don’t mind that, this elder brother could even give my life back to you today!”

The moment Mountain Lifting Hermit finished his words, he had released his battle qi tornado while a virtual image of a giant lifting a mountain gradually rose up and covered the entire Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market together with Zhang Tie’s fire-dragon image.

Honestly, at this moment, Zhang Tie was really moved. Zhang Tie dared butt head with Han Yuanhong because of the following two reasons: first, he knew the background of Han Clan. Han Clan was Zhang Tie’s deadly enemy. Han Clan not only screwed him but also intended to kill his father. Therefore, Zhang Tie shouldn’t be timid in this situation; second, Han Clan were in the wrong; additionally, Bai Suxian was not a commoner, she was the daughter of Lord Guangnan who was unrivaled in the south border of Taixia Country. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn’t fear that this event was getting out of hand. As those b*stards treated Bai Suxian rudely first, Zhang Tie would always be in the disadvantageous position. Nobody could punish him due to this event. Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could meet a member of Han Clan here; therefore, he directly slapped that guy’s face fiercely so as to vent his spleen. Bai Suxian didn’t speak at this moment because Zhang Tie had already told her to not expose her identity in a secret way until Han Yuanhong was involved in the drama a bit deeper.

However, Mountain Lifting Hermit didn’t know what Zhang Tie was thinking about. When Mountain Lifting Hermit released his battle qi tornado and the virtual image, he really chose to stand on Zhang Tie’s side at the risk of his own life. If Zhang Tie started the battle, Mountain Lifting Hermit would definitely fight the enemy shoulder to shoulder.

What a righteous man!

What a dauntless man!

What a forthright man!

Previously, Zhang Tie felt that Mountain Lifting Hermit was cold outside yet passionate inside. He had not imagined about such a spirited and generous side inside this thin body. Therefore, he was filled with deep veneration.

Zhang Tie didn’t persuade Mountain Lifting Hermit anymore. Otherwise, Mountain Lifting Hermit would feel that he was insulting and looking down upon Mountain Lifting Hermit.

Zhang Tie and Mountain Lifting Hermit exchanged a glance with each other before smiling towards each other full of sincerity and trust.

With Mountain Lifting Hermit on his side, Zhang Tie felt much more confident. He glared at Han Yuanhong full of contempt before bursting out into laughter, ”Come on, don’t you want to revenge for that d**chebag prince who sexually harassed the Hua woman in the public? I killed that son of a b*tch. Come on, show me your talent, bright gold master of Gold and Power Law. As earth knights, we don’t play lip service. Show me your masculinity...”

Han Yuanhong had not been stimulated in this way at the gate of Gold and Power Market and in other places across Xuanyuan Hill for over 100 years. He couldn’t imagine why he was always in the disadvantageous position today. Even though he was thinking about killing Zhang Tie while suffering from some loss just now, he had already abandoned this thought now. The reason was simple, even if he could fetch some helpers rapidly, after this battle, the entire Gold and Power Market would be ruined for sure. Besides, the surrounding places in Xuanyuan Hill would be damaged to a certain degree.

Although he was the master of Gold and Power Market, he didn’t have the right to enforce the law. After Zhang Tie killed people in Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market, as the general manager, he could play edge ball and have his subordinates arrest Zhang Tie. However, if two earth knights of Taixia Country fought him here, he had to bear all the consequences. Although his dad was influential in Xuanyuan Hill as one of the 9 ministers in Taixia Country, his dad was not Emperor Xuanyuan who could almost deal with everything in Taixia Country. If he pushed Han Clan in the teeth of the storm in Xuanyuan Hill, it would not be in correspondence with the great undertaking of Han Clan. Additionally, he didn’t know about the trump cards of this earth knight called Cui Li.

Watching Zhang Tie and hearing his words, Han Yuanhong’s face turned blue as his eye light changed constantly...

”Who dared to sexually harass our Hua woman in Xuanyuan Hill?”

When Zhang Tie was butting head with Han Yuanhong, an extremely dignified voice drifted from inside Gold and Power Market which contained a special strength and wave. Along with this voice, the onlookers at the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market gave a way while some guys walked towards the ring.

At the sight of that man in the front, Zhang Tie’s heart shocked at once.

That was an extremely dignified old man with thick eyebrows and purple face. He gave out a majestic and aggressive qi all over.

Zhang Tie didn’t know this old man; however, he could identify the Xiezhi crown on the head of the old man. The Xiezhi crown was 56 cm in height. It was made of violet gold. Xiezhi crown was the symbol of chief justice in Hua people. Across Taixia Country, many people wore Xiezhi crowns. When Zhang Tie served as the chief justice in Youzhou Provincial Court, he also had one. However, he didn’t usually wear it. The size of Xiezhi crown was an important reference of the identity of the wearer. Previously, Zhang Tie’s Xiezhi crown was only 30 cm in height. Across Taixia Country, besides the minister of justice, one of the 9 ministers in Taixia Country, nobody else dared wear such a high Xiezhi crown unless he was seeking for death or wanted to be the public enemy of all the courts across Taixia Country.

Besides the high Xiezhi crown, the invisible qi of this old man indicated that he was a shadow knight.

Treasures Meeting in Xuanyuan Hill was really filled with righteous knight-level powerhouses. Zhang Tie had not imagined that such a small chaos at the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market could attract the attention of a big figure like the minister of justice...
