Castle of Black Iron

Although Zhang Tie didn’t enter Xuanyuan Hill, with his lotus-flower eyes, he could still see clearly the abnormal phenomenon in the Sincerity Garden of the emperor’s imperial city hundreds of miles away. He saw the commander-in-chief of Imperial Guards who was standing outside the Sincerity Garden with a huge saber, which was a silver secret item, in hand; the crowd being evacuated outside the Sincerity Garden, the knights’ battle qi smokes rushing into the sky from the Golden water River; the rising ground and the collapsing building in Gold and Power Market and the sudden rising flames due to explosions which were not far from Gold and Power Market.

The entire Xuanyuan Hill was gradually chaotic as the members of Heavens Reaching Church or the faithful lackeys of Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong in Xuanyuan Hill were exerting their utmost efforts to create chaos in Xuanyuan Hill so that they could have a chance to escape out of there.

The night had already fallen while the flames in the city became more eye-attractive. The wuthering ambulance vehicles and collisions between knights could be heard everywhere across Xuanyuan Hill. Additionally, many wails and cries escaping out the fiercest flames and most ferocious battles in Xuanyuan Hill.

At this moment, the wild swans were still 60 miles away from the emperor’s imperial city while the entire Xuanyuan Hill had been boiling like a bowl of cold water entering rolling oil.

Zhang Tie knew that he had succeeded.

There would be many casualties in Xuanyuan Hill tonight. Although this was against Zhang Tie’s conscience, Zhang Tie wouldn’t feel guilty about it. He didn’t have moral cleanliness.

The main reason of casualties was the arrangements that Heavens Reaching Church had made in Xuanyuan Hill. It was like a bomb being buried in Xuanyuan Hill; if not detonate it in advance and cause Heavens Reaching Church to move flurriedly, it might cause a much severer outcome if Heavens Reaching Church detonated it when they prepared it well. Those who should be responsible for what happened tonight were the Supreme Court, the Imperial Censorate, the prime minister who governed the national policies of the country, the chief inspector who was responsible for supervising the officials in the imperial court, even Emperor Xuanyuan himself. A remnant of Bloody Soul Temple had lurked under their eyes for so many years; the master of Heavens Reaching Church served as the finance minister of Taixia Country in the hinterland of Taixia Country; those b*stards of Heavens Reaching Church could make so many arrangements in Xuanyuan Hill; shouldn’t they be responsible for all this?

After this evening, the overall pattern in the imperial court of Taixia Country would definitely change greatly. The Finance Minister’s Mansion would be cleaned up completely for sure. Someone in the imperial court of Taixia Country would be responsible for this event for sure. Although Zhang Tie could imagine all this, it had nothing to do with him. He was only doing what he should do and could do in Xuanyuan Hill at this moment.

Zhang Tie’s job tonight was to kill Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong!

So many knights were suspending in the sky outside Xuanyuan Hill as they watched the chaos in Xuanyuan Hill with dumbfounded looks. In less than 1 hour, what happened drastically in Xuanyuan Hill had made everybody dumbfounded.

Zhang Tie watched the wild swans flying towards the emperor’s imperial city as he silently made a hand gesture. Closely after that, the army of wild swans disbanded. They had already accomplished their task successfully.

“Ahh, the wild swans are disbanding…” Someone shouted among the surrounding knights.

As those wild swans disbanded, the 12 huge words in the sky above Xuanyuan Hill also gradually disappeared like a drop of ink falling into the pool.

The wild swans returned to their own nestles; however, the chaos in Xuanyuan Hill constantly fermented.

As long as those knights outside Xuanyuan Hill were not idiots, they would know that the contents of the 12 huge words were real. If not, how could Xuanyuan Hill became chaotic at once?

Han Zhengfang the finance minister of Taixia Country was the master of Heavens Reaching Church; Xuanyuan Hill was in great chaos tonight! What a shocking news! Those knights passed this news to all directions through remote-sensing crystals as soon as possible.

Right under Zhang Tie’s foot, Zhang Tie saw a lot of elites of Supreme Court rushing out of Xuanyuan Hill along with some knights. The moment those knights exited Xuanyuan Hill, they had flown off towards far…

‘These people are chasing after someone; whom are they chasing after?’

Zhang Tie sensed the locations of the two tracing feathers in his mind sea as he sneered. After that, he threw a glance at the emperor’s imperial city. Only after thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie had turned around and flown towards Fairy Lake in the far.

‘Han Yuanhong is escaping; the battle between Han Zhengfang and Meng Shidao has not come to an end. Given the current situation, I could deal with Han Yuanhong before returning to the sky outside emperor’s imperial city for the final result of the battle.’

Zhang Tie then flew towards Fairy Lake. On the way, he encountered many knights.

As it was in the Treasures Meeting, most of the knights were gathering in Xuanyuan Hill over these years. Many knights were watching the fun outside Xuanyuan Hill too. Many knights had just run out of Xuanyuan Hill. As they couldn’t fly in Xuanyuan Hill, their battle strength and flexibility would be greatly reduced over there. When Xuanyuan Hill was in great chaos, some smart knights who were close to the periphery of Xuanyuan Hill ran out of Xuanyuan Hill immediately. After jumping out of the swirl, they flew off into the sky outside Xuanyuan Hill and watched the development of the situation inside Xuanyuan Hill.

After leaving Xuanyuan Hill alone or in a group of two or three, these knights started to communicate with each other.

As too many knights were keeping a close watch on the situation inside Xuanyuan Hill in the sky outside Xuanyuan Hill, it was not that eye-catching when Zhang Tie flew over the sky.

However, Zhang Tie still met some familiar ones.

Fang Xinyi and the other knights that Zhang Tie met in the Golden Water River a few days ago along with that pair of “wild mandarin ducks” were also keeping a close watch on the situation inside Xuanyuan Hill. Zhang Tie directly passed them from hundreds of meters away. Zhang Tie didn’t greet them or dodge away from them; he just threw a distant glance at them before flying away.

Zhang Tie noticed Fang Xinyi’s team; Fang Xinyi’s team also caught sight of Zhang Tie; especially Fang Xinyi who immediately widened her eyes when she caught sight of Zhang Tie although they were hundreds of meters away from each other. Closely after that, she revealed a faintly shocked expression; even her body became stiff all of a sudden. As knights, although Fang Xinyi and her partners didn’t have lotus-flower eyes, the distance of hundreds of meters was also like 10 m in the eyes of commoners.

Zhang Tie flew as fast as a lightning bolt. In the blink of an eye, he had passed by Fang Xinyi’s team from hundreds of meters away and disappeared in front of their eyes.

“Ahh, who’s that young knight? He looks even younger than 20 years old. I’ve met all the younger talents among the top 6 sects. But I’ve not heard about such a young knight!” A male knight on Fang Xinyi’s side said with a faint frown as he looked at the direction where Zhang Tie was heading for, “Does he come from a major clan of Taixia Country? Now that he could promote to a knight at such a young age, he must be something!”

Fang Xinyi and her partners were all young elites among the top 6 sects; of course, they were very familiar with the elites of the top 6 sects.

“Yi, that’s strange. Why do I feel this guy looks familiar? I might have already seen him somewhere.” The female knight on Fang Xinyi’s side called Ge Yuling muttered as she revealed a reminiscent look.

“Don’t you feel that the young knight fly too fast?” You Chuzhi asked with a shocked look.

“Is that fast? We could also do it!” Another male knight said in an ill-affected manner.

“We cannot move so fast as easily as him. Given his easy look at such a high speed, he might be…might be…” You Chuzhi didn’t say it. ‘It’s too shocking and unimaginable. A 20-year old earth knight! What a freak! Even the top 6 sects of Taixia Country couldn’t culture such a young earth knight.’

“That guy might pretend to be that easy. Some young man who has just promoted to knights would always like to slap their own face until it’s swollen in an effort to look imposing. How could a person promote to an earth knight at such a young age?” The male knight who was ill-affected just now argued.

When they were arguing about it out of curiosity, Fang Xinyi who was always silent directly flew off towards Zhang Tie.

Fang Xinyi’s partners were shocked by her sudden movement as they all followed after her.

Given the fight on Golden Water River that day, they thought that Fang Xinyi had caught sight of an enemy.

Zhang Tie soon disappeared in their vision. Fang Xinyi had already released her brilliant battle qi as she was speeding up abruptly. All of her partners had to make their utmost efforts to chase after Fang Xinyi like meteors.

After a few minutes, these meteors arrived at the vast and misty Fairy Lake consecutively. It was the shimmering yet endless lake under their foot; however, the young knight had already disappeared in their vision.

“Xinyi, do you know that guy…” Ge Yuling asked Fang Xinyi out of concern which all the others wanted to know too after they hid their brilliant protective battle qis.

Fang Xinyi let out a sigh suddenly as she glanced around all the others, “I’m afraid that the young knight was Zhang Mushen, Zhang Tie!”

After hearing Fang Xinyi’s reply, all the other knights were stunned.

‘That young man was Zhang Tie, Zhang Mushen, the No.1 black iron human knight who became famous around the country after the tragedy of Fuhai City?’

“Ahh, I remember it!” Ge Yuling suddenly shouted, “No wonder I felt that man looked a bit familiar. He was Zhang Tie. I’ve seen his look on the order for arrest!”

“If he’s indeed Zhang Tie, why did he come to Xuanyuan Hill?”

You Chuzhi broke the silence.

“Because I’m too curious about that, I followed him here…” Fang Xinyi stared blankly at the lake under her foot…
