Castle of Black Iron

Watching those peaks in the sky, Zhang Tie was shocked greatly. He almost thought he was dizzy. However, after taking a look at it carefully, he found it was real. Those mountains were indeed floating in the sky, large and small. Small ones covered over 60,000 square meters while bigger ones were as large as cities.

Undoubtedly, it was a strange world.

‘But why there’re also Hua people and demons? Why the outfit of that person is so weird? Where am I…’ Many questions poured into Zhang Tie’s mind like a tide.

After taking a look at the surroundings, Zhang Tie disguised to be in a coma for the time being as he felt those people wouldn’t do harm to him. He then allowed the person to take him into the airboat.

It was indeed an airboat despite it was different than those in Taixia Country in the pattern. Zhang Tie knew it was an airboat even if he closed his eyes.

Zhang Tie felt that person touching the artery in his neck. Then, he opened his mouth, “Boss, he’s still alive…”

“A’zhi, check him in case he’s a disguised demon. If this person is found to be a disguised demon in Heavenly Square City, we would have big trouble!” a muffled voice sounded.

After that, Zhang Tie heard blades coming out of sheaths as if someone was in alert. As long as he was found to be a disguised demon, they would poke him using those weapons in a split second.

“Yes, sir!” Another strange voice sounded. Closely after that, Zhang Tie felt someone squatting in front of him. Then, his right hand was taken as the stranger tried to pierce his fingertip using something sharp.

Pitifully, even if Zhang Tie didn’t use his protective battle qi, he still had an amazing defensive capability. His skin, despite being soft, had such a terrifying, defensive capability that it couldn’t even be pierced.

“Aah, boss, his finger skin couldn’t be pierced by the demon detection needle. This person has a powerful defensive capability. He might be an immortal general…” the one on Zhang Tie’s side exclaimed after trying twice on Zhang Tie’s finger.

His exclamation aroused chaos among the crew as if the term immortal general carried great power.

“Let me try. Give me the demon detection needle…” the same muffled voice sounded. Closely after that, Zhang Tie’s right hand fell in the hand of another person. Feeling a bit cold, Zhang Tie realized a fine needle being pierced in his finger with the help of battle qi. Then, he extruded a drop of blood out of Zhang Tie’s finger.

“He’s not a disguised demon, but a human…” the muffled voice sounded as all the others heaved a sigh. At the same time, they put their blades back in sheaths.

“Boss, is he an immortal general?” someone asked him out of curiosity.

“He’s indeed an immortal general. However, he’s still in a coma due to heavy wounds. A’Wu, A’Long, take him to the medical room and help him recover in the recovery pool. Let me known when he wakes up…”

“Aah, boss, must we use the recovery pool? There are few recovery liquids inside…”

“Shut up. Quick. We could replenish the recovery liquid in Heavenly Square City!”

“Okay, okay…”

Two people answered as Zhang Tie felt being carried away by them. After a few seconds’ walk, they came to a room. Zhang Tie felt his broken clothes being cut off by scissors. Then, he felt being carried into a container in naked while his neck was held by something soft. After that, the liquid slowly flowed into the container. In the blink of an eye, his body under neck was immersed in a liquid as warm as one’s body temperature, which felt pretty comfortable.

“Wow, he has so many wounds…” a person exclaimed in a low tone.

“Haven’t you heard that? He’s an immortal general. These wounds might be caused by demons. Immortal generals could always live long. As long as they were not beheaded or cut into halves, they would not die, despite heavy wounds…”

“He’s too young. Less than 20; younger than me…”

“Needless to say. If you could enter the temple and cultivate for dozens of years inside, you would also remain young…”

“Let’s go. We could come back and check whether he’s awake after a while. It’s good for our boss to save an immortal general! He might help us a lot in the future!”

As the footsteps left, the door was closed from outside. Feeling a sense of warmth entering his body for a while, Zhang Tie opened his eyes and started to look at the surroundings.

It was a clean, buffy room. There were two one-meter higher tables inside, which looked like operating tables. Besides, there were some odd-looking small tools like surgical knives in some cabinets. One cabinet contained a lot of vials and jars where faint herbal fragrance came from. Zhang Tie was lying in a shell-shaped crystal bathtub, being filled with pale green water-like liquid. Some bizarre runes were giving out pale light, which slightly flew and loomed in the bathtub.

Being driven by those bizarre runes, comfortable energy was peeping into his body from pores all over in the pale green liquid. Meanwhile, those wounds were recovering at a very high speed as a great strength was returning.

‘Disguised demon? Immortal general? Temple?’

‘Is disguised demon shadow knight, immortal general knight, temple tower of time?’ Zhang Tie thought.

Watching those bizarre runes flowing in the huge bathtub which could cure him effectively, Zhang Tie became more and more interested in this place. ‘Many things here are strange.’

Although the huge bathtub could help him recover fast, it was still a bit inferior to senior recovery medicament. Given the unknown current situation, the faster he recovered, the safer and more confident he would be. Therefore, Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy and prepared to take out a vial of senior all-purpose medicament from Castle of Black Iron.

However, he became stunned after trying it a few times.

He couldn’t use Castle of Black Iron…

‘What happened?’
