Castle of Black Iron

“What did you meet?”

“Are you and Jiang Ruoxin in danger?”

“Could you receive my message?”

Zhang Tie sent a few questions one after another, trying to figure out what Ji Yuelan wanted to express. However, Zhang Tie’s messages were like clay oxen entering the sea as he couldn’t receive any more response.

Although the relationship between Ji Yuelan and Zhang Tie was a bit ambiguous, Zhang Tie knew that this woman was understanding. She would never make fun of him at the critical moment. Zhang Tie immediately understood that Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were in danger in Redmountain City. Ji Yuelan had just sent him a warning, which meant that she might be in sudden trouble which was out of her imagination. Additionally, the entire Yin-Yang Sect might be up to the creek.

Zhang Tie instantly sprung up in the backroom beneath Jiaotai Palace with shiny eyes. In a split second, he had visualized the map of the entire Motian Realm except for Mountain Ruins. He instantly got three answers concerning Redmountain.

First, Redmountain Seashore. It was in Noworry Range in the north of Star Emperor Big Domain and belonged to the territory of Star Emperor.

Second, Redmountain Range. It was in Brilliantmoon Domain in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Brilliantmoon Region was a middle domain, which might only be 1/3 of Dragon Emperor Big Domain in terms of area. Being the location of Brilliantmoon Immortal Palace of humans, it was a big mountain range in Brillintmoon Domain. There were many cities of Brilliantmoon Immortal Palace on both sides of the mountain range. However, none of those cities were called Redmountain City although one was called Redmountain Town.

The only one being marked as Redmountain City was in the northeast region of Nine Heavens Continent. It was within the territory of Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Redmountain City was in the border of Nine Heavens Big Domain as a very remote place.

As the nest of Yin-Yang Sect, nowhere else was safer than being in the territory of Force Emperor Immortal Palace.

In a split second, Zhang Tie had known that Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin must be in Redmountain City of Nine Heavens Big Domain.

To a certain degree, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were not only Zhang Tie’s trusted subordinates; they were also his bosom friends in Motian Realm. When his friends were in trouble, of course Zhang Tie shouldn’t shirk his responsibility to save them.

Zhang Tie instantly came up to the east wall of the backroom and pressed down a pearl on the wall, exposing a secret tunnel leading to the far at once. Zhang Tie flashed in at a stroke.

3 minutes later, after activating his invisible shen bead and his master-level hiding skill and master-level rapid moving skill, Zhang Tie flew out of a mountain cave outside Dragon Emperor City and skyrocketed into the sky. Only in a few seconds, he had already reached over 100,000 m high. Closely after that, he unfolded his invisible roc wings and flashed towards Nine Heavens Big Domain at his full effort at the speed of 30,000 m per second like an invisible meteor.

The route towards Nine Heavens Big Domain was opposite to the route where he came to Dragon Emperor Big Domain all the way from Nine Heavens Big Domain. After leaving Dragon Emperor Big Domain, he should pass by Brokenstars Sea, the eastern part of Nine Heavens Big Domain and turn northeast. He couldn’t arrive at Redmountain City unless crossing the greater part of the human zone of Nine Heavens Big Domain. The total distance would pass 400,000 miles.

Saving people was like fighting a fire. Zhang Tie’s speed was astonishing. At hundreds of thousands of meters high, he was flying as fast as a lightning bolt while all the mountains, rivers, cities and towns were lagged far behind in a split second. As for those airboats, they were as slow as tortoises compared to Zhang Tie.

On the way, Zhang Tie met a lot of immortal generals, some of which were above heavenly knights. In order to save time, Zhang Tie didn’t mean to keep away from them. However, none of these people discovered Zhang Tie at all. Even though a few powers above heavenly knights could sense the trivial change of air flow thousands of meters away, Zhang Tie had already been tens of thousands of meters away. Additionally, he didn’t leave any trace. Actually, his flight couldn’t be caught by anyone’s eyes at all. Those powers were just a bit amazed. Some of them even followed Zhang Tie for dozens of miles out of curiosity. However, they had to give it up because they soon lost their target.

It took Zhang Tie less than 6 hours to arrive at the air zone of Redmountain City. The day had completely broken while the sun was hanging high in the sky. It was actually close to noon.

The former tranquil Redmountain City had long been in chaos. Zhang Tie instantly discovered the abnormal situation in Ying Clan’s castle.

The miserable situation facing Ying Clan’s castle was discovered by a farmer who sent vegetables to Ying Clan’s castle in the early morning.

Overnight, nobody was alive in Ying Clan’s castle. Some managers of the branch of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City hurriedly came over here to check it as they were greatly frightened. After then, over 1,000 immortal soldiers of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City were dispatched to surround the Ying Clan’s castle.

When Zhang Tie arrived at Redmountain City, everyone across Redmountain City had known what happened to Ying Clan’s castle. Many fearless people even poured out of Redmountain City to see what happened. Therefore, the roads leading to Yin Clan’s castle from Redmountain City became more crowded than before. In addition, the mountain slopes outside Ying Clan’s castle were also full of people, who were isolated by the immortal soldiers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Only after taking a look at Ying Clan’s castle by his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie had seen the corpses and blood over the ground and those tunnels and buildings under the ground across the castle. Zhang Tie felt disappointed at a stroke.

The periphery of Yin Clan’s castle had been blockaded. Only a few people in the uniform of Force Emperor Immortal Palace were inspecting the situation in the castle with pale face, followed by some subordinates. They appeared negotiating about something.

After folding his roc wings, Zhan Tie instantly descended as he suspended at about 100 m high above those inspectors.

“…Priest Hong, do…do we…need to search over the castle…” a member of Force Emperor Immortal Palace asked with a quivering voice.

“I’ve already received the message from our headquarters. They don’t…don’t allow us to act rashly and blindly or destroy the site. Only after a short while, their people would arrive here. Therefore, no other people are allowed in now…”

“I see. But why did the branch head’s clan suffer such a tragedy… Did someone dare offend Force Emperor Immortal Palace?”

“I have no idea. However, no matter who they are, they have to pay off what they did. Commander-in-Chief Chai, go back to Redmountain City and take some people to make a tour inspection around the city. No trouble is allowed in the city. Additionally, ask onlookers whether they have seen something abnormal or someone strange near Ying Clan’s castle last night. I’m afraid the people from the headquarters would ask about it…”

After listening to their talk for a short while, Zhang Tie knew a bit about the current situation. Closely after that, he directly flew towards a main house in the distance. After entering an empty room, he opened a blank door and entered it.

2 minutes later, Zhang Tie flashed out of the secret tunnel. Given the scenes in the underground space of the castle, Zhang Tie had confirmed that he was in the nest of Yin-Yang Sect. However, nobody was alive across the castle now. Besides those on the ground, there were also dead male and female disciples who all looked pretty miserable. All of their heads had been broken. As a result, Zhang Tie could barely read what happened to them before death through their brains. Besides, all the living beings across the castle had been killed, including rats and cockcroaches.

Force Emperor Immortal Palace might have not known that Ying Clan’s castle was the nest of Yin-Yang Sect. However, this secret might be exposed soon. Those people on the ground dared not to make an investigation on the spot; however, when the powers of the headquarters of Force Emperor Immortal Palace would arrive, they would soon discover this secret.

However, this was not the point for Zhang Tie. The point was that Zhang Tie didn’t see the corpses of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin after searching over all the corpses in the shortest period. Therefore, there was still a bit of hope for him.
