Castle of Black Iron

As Zhang Tie was clear that he was not the real Dragon Emperor; nor did he reach the realm of Dragon Emperor. In case of trouble, he didn’t spare too much time for those elders and grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to think and respond; instead, he continued his strike so as to shock the others.

After the heavenly shadow demon knight’s wind chakra was refined by Zhang Tie, it turned into ashes. Closely after that, Zhang Tie uttered a cold humph, “Come out…” as he punched towards a location in the Dragon Emperor City.

Zhang Tie’s punch looked as light as the fresh wind blowing by willow twigs as if it was Dragon Emperor’s casual deed. In fact, Zhang Tie had exerted his full efforts.

Zhang Tie’s punch only carried 20% of the total power of the Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill.

At the same time, an over 200 m long berserk golden dragon roared and flew off Zhang Tie’s hand. Closely after that, it fell into a small courtyard in a lane of Dragon Emperor City after crossing tens of thousands of meters in the air.

Although it started fiercely, it finally became tender when it reached the small courtyard.

In a split second, everything in the courtyard turned into ashes, including rooms, furniture and all the other furnishings. However, none of the neighboring houses were influenced. Of course, the audience would regard it as Dragon Emperor’s merciful deed for the sake of the safety of the others in the city as His Majesty didn’t use his full strength. In fact, it was the utmost effort that Zhang Tie could make.

‘Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill! It’s really Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill!’

Those immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were immediately in an uproar. Just now, many people only felt the qi field of Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill. By contrast, when Zhang Tie applied his Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill in the public, it brought people an utterly different shock. As Dragon Emperor’s signature skill, when Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill was applied in the public, people were deeply convinced that Dragon Emperor was back.

A figure then rushed into the sky from the ruined courtyard, who was the sage-level knight surnamed Ying that Zhang Tie followed spiritually in the boite of Octagonal Lane in Dragon Emperor City the other day. Of course, this guy surnamed Zhao was in another identity in Dragon Emperor City in the public. Additionally, he had already hidden his real identity here for many years.

All those immortal generals, elders and grand justices in Dragon Emperor City were shocked by the person who rushed into the sky from the ruined small courtyard. Given his speed, he was a supreme immortal general.

None of them knew when a supreme immortal general started to lurk in Dragon Emperor City. However, the moment Dragon Emperor arrived, this guy had been exposed to the public.

After reaching 10,000 m high, that guy flickered his eyes as he watched “Dragon Emperor” out of shock and suspicion.

Tonight, when Zhang Tie dealt with the heavenly shadow demon knight, this supreme immortal general had already sensed the strong qi field of Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill. Hiding in the small courtyard, he stealthily observed what was happening in the sky. When he noticed Dragon Emperor, he was really shocked; however, he also doubted whether Zhang Tie was the real Dragon Emperor or not. Nevertheless, before he made any response, Zhang Tie’s punch had shattered his small courtyard, exposing him to the public.

He didn’t know how “Dragon Emperor” discovered him until now. Therefore, he regarded “Dragon Emperor” with reverence.

“Dragon Emperor” took a look at him with faintly distant and disdainful eyes which seemingly being able to penetrate through everything, and said, “As a supreme human immortal general, why not do things in the public? Why do you hide there and imitate demons…”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, that person was shocked again as his last bit of fluke mind was shattered again. The supreme immortal general then heaved a deep sigh as his bones all over cracked suddenly. Then, he covered his face with palm and moved his palm away, revealing another more wrinkled black face with sword-shaped eyebrows, sharp eyes and a red nevus full of killing intent in his central forehead. The supreme immortal general bowed towards Zhang Tie respectfully as he said, “Your Majesty, it’s Ying Canghai’s great honor to see you…”

‘Old Monster Ying? He’s Old Monster Ying!’ All the immortal generals and elders in the air were in uproar as they seemed to have recognized Ying Canghai.

“I’ve been acquainted with Force Emperor for many years. I’ve not imagined that Force Emperor still remembers me after so many years…” Zhang Tie sighed as he looked up to the sky, hands on his back, his voice rumbling across the city, “That one in the Zhu Mansion in the Eastern District of Dragon Emperor City, are you waiting for me to invite you?”

Closely after Zhang Tie’s words, a person had rushed into the sky from the Eastern District. Before Zhang Tie said anything else, he had covered his face with palm and moved it away, revealing his real look. He was a middle-aged literati with white face and slim eyebrows. He also bowed towards Zhang Tie from 10,000 m away as he said, “Your Majesty, it’s the great honor for Xiang Donglai the grand justice of Force Emperor Immortal Palace to see you. Over these years, as Your Majesty has not returned, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was like threading on eggs facing a lot of crises. As Force Emperor was afraid that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was invaded by demons, His Majesty ordered me to stay here for protecting Dragon Emperor City. Please forgive me, Your Majesty…”

Xiang Donglai was indeed a smart guy as he really found a good reason for him to lurk in Dragon Emperor City.

“Force Emperor is really considerate…” Zhang Tie still looked as calm as before. He didn’t even look at Xiang Donglai. His five words made Xiang Donglai shut up at once. If Xiang Donglai still wanted to say something, it was nothing different than insulting the IQ of Dragon Emperor.

After knowing that the grand justice of Force Emperor Immortal Palace was also hiding in Dragon Emperor City, the five elders and the two grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were dumbfounded as they all lowered their heads and dared not look straight into Zhang Tie’s eyes anymore.

“As there’re so many guests in Dragon Emperor City; if I don’t invite someone, it seems that you would not come out. Alright, let’s see it…” Zhang Tie heaved a deep sigh as his qi field rose abruptly. At the same time, his eyes sparkled as he made a bizarre finger gesture and pointed towards a peak over 60 miles away, shouting “break”.

Under the gaze of so many immortal generals of Dragon Emperor City, a white light flashed across the sky without any omen. In a split second, the peak disappeared.

Meanwhile, a person rushed into the sky, sprouting blood constantly as he had lost one arm and one leg. He escaped far away in bloody light. Given his speed, he should be a fiery immortal general.

“Ahem ahem ahem…” Zhang Tie disguised to cough for a few times. Closely after that, his voice drifted over 60 m, “Tell Star Emperor, I will pay a visit to him in Star Emperor Big Realm when I’m free. I will ask him why he allowed his subordinates to plunder my cities and kill my immortal generals in the Nine Heavens Big Domain…”

‘What’s that battle skill?’

All the people above Dragon Emperor Big Domain were shocked so much as their faces turned pale and their backs turned completely wet, including the two supreme immortal generals.

Just now, Dragon Emperor didn’t use his battle qi; instead, he used some mysterious strength. Only by pointing at a target, he had destroyed it. Its power could even match Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist Skill. Nobody could resist such a battle skill. It was far more than just terrifying.

‘Is this the battle skill that Dragon Emperor grasped after having disappeared for more than 900 years?’

The same whim occurred to a lot of people.

Even Dragon Emperor was sprouting blood, his supreme position in the hearts of the public would not waver a bit; instead, he would win more respect from people, not to mention that he was just coughing.

This was the real qi field of an emperor.

Closely after they witnessed Zhang Tie’s strike, some more people had rushed into the sky, the weakest one among which was a wind immortal general. As for others, there were 3 fiery immortal generals and 2 supreme immortal generals. After bowing towards Zhang Tie together from far away, they flurriedly escaped away…

Although Zhang Tie stayed calm, he was startled too as he had not imagined that there would be so many lurkers in Dragon Emperor City. Even Zhang Tie had not discovered these people over the past 8 months. Actually, Zhang Tie just wanted to deter them by killing or hurting a couple of them. Unimaginably, these people were really scared and exposed themselves to the public.

All the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor City were in hubbubs. Those elders and grand justices started to quiver all over. They were scared by Zhang Tie’s powerful strikes and so many foreign powerhouses across Dragon Emperor City.

“Look at that. Is this the Dragon Emperor City that you want to show me? If I came back a few years later, I’m afraid that my Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would have disappeared by then…” Zhang Tie heaved a long sigh as he turned around and watched those elders and grand justices calmly full of disappointment, “When you’re competing with each other, you don’t know that you’ve already become the baits and targets of the others. More innocent commoners might be involved in the war. You…you really made me disappointed…”

After saying that, Zhang Tie turned around and looked at a place in Dragon Emperor City, calling in a low voice, “Zhang Tie…”

“Master…”

Under the gaze of all the others, Zhang Tie’s substitute flew towards his original body from afar as he bowed towards “His Majesty”.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s appellation about Dragon Emperor, all the immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were petrified.

‘Zhang Tie…Zhang Tie is the disciple of His Majesty…’

At this moment, many people’s hearts pounded as they thought they misheard it or were dreaming. However, the following words of Dragon Emperor indicated that they didn’t mishear it nor they were dreaming.

“From today on, you’re the new Dragon Emperor of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…”

It was silent in the sky above Dragon Emperor City, except for Dragon Emperor’s voice drifting across the air facing heavy wind and snow. Everyone was clear that Dragon Emperor was sending the order to all the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Even the five elders and the two grand justices felt hearts racing and thirsty as they couldn’t utter a sound, not to mention common immortal generals.

It was not strange for an immortal emperor to pass his throne to someone in Motian Realm; however, nobody had imagined that it would happen in front of them.

“Ah, master, but I want to travel across Motian Realm for a few more years…” Zhang Tie urged as he looked reluctant under the gaze of the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

“I have no heir. As my only disciple, you’ve grasped all of my battle skills and secret methods. You’ve already seen that tonight, there should be a leader in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Later on, you will take my throne. You’re the new Dragon Emperor. I believe that you will not let me down…ahem ahem ahem…” The “Dragon Emperor” persuaded Zhang Tie’s substitute kindly as he started to cough hardly again.

Zhang Tie then nodded as he moved one step forward with concerns, saying, “Master, you…”

“I have something else to tell you, follow me…” After leaving his words, Dragon Emperor held Zhang Tie’s hand at a stroke under the gaze of all the others. In a split second, they had disappeared and reappeared over 6,000 m away. In the blink of an eye, the two people had disappeared into the sky. The speed could only be dreamed by people below the immortal emperor.

Ying Canghai and Xiang Donglai exchanged a glance with each other silently as they left there in different directions, leaving long rainbows.

Those immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace stayed still in the sky as they were still shocked by what they saw in the past minutes.

“Dragon Emperor is back. Dragon Emperor is back…” It had become boisterous across the city while numerous burning torches and lamplight flew out of rooms and courtyards and poured in the streets of Dragon Emperor City. From the sky, the entire city was like a starry ocean in the snowy night…
