Castle of Black Iron

Zhang Tie was crystal clear of the great shock that he would cause when he returned to Motian Realm from Mountain Ruins in this way; however, he didn’t care about it. In another way, he was making such great shock on purpose. Zhang Tie wanted to tell everyone among humans and demons across Motian Realm that he, Zhang Tie, also the incumbent Dragon Emperor was coming back aboveboard…

Infinite Immortal Prison had disappeared yesterday. As too few people went to Mountains Plain recently, few people could find the change. Otherwise, this news could definitely rock the entire Motian Realm.

In Motian Realm, the battle force came first. In this world, human and demon powers and immortal generals could only accept one thing——force.

If one wanted to let everyone else listen to his sound quietly and respect him; if one wanted his territory to be safe and secure; if one wanted to protect something, he had to prove that he was very powerful.

To make it simpler, when everyone’s head was stamped into the mud by you, they would learn how to raise their dirty faces from the mud and look up at your great body with a humble smile; they would even fear that their bodies made your shiny leather shoes dirty.

Zhang Tie had understood this truth many years ago. However, after knowing what Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had suffered during these years when he stayed in Infinite Immortal Prison, Zhang Tie confirmed one point——over these years in Motian Realm, he had killed too few people or powers or celebrities. He was not notorious or dignified enough. Therefore, many people didn’t fear him. As a result, during the short period of time when he was in Infinite Immortal Prison, the entire Dragon Emperor immortal Palace became a ripe persimmon which everyone could pinch or give a bite at their will.

‘Those attackers didn’t know that I was Dragon Emperor? Of course, they knew!’

‘Didn’t those attackers know that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace belonged to me? Of course, they knew!’

‘So what?’

When Versatile Demon Emperor raided Dragon Emperor City 7 years ago, it killed Wang Laisheng, an elder of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace who was on duty in Qianji Agency and destroyed the entire Forbidden City, causing dozens of casualties inside Dragon Emperor City, exposing the weakness of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to the rest of Motian Realm at a stroke.

Versatile Demon Emperor didn’t raid Dragon Emperor City only once; instead, thrice. During the eight months since Zhang Tie entered Infinite Immortal Prison, Versatile Demon Emperor raided Dragon Emperor City for 3 times, causing great losses to Dragon Emperor City and stamping the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace into the mud pit.

Versatile Demon Emperor thought that it could access to Dragon Emperor City, killing people and setting fires in Dragon Emperor City whenever it wanted. The false appearance that an immortal emperor was on the back of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace that Zhang Tie tried his best to fabricate was torn apart by Versatile Demon Emperor in a way which was close to humiliation.

Versatile Demon Emperor was telling everyone in its own action: Dragon Emperor who had disappeared over 900 years was actually dead. The dragon emperor that appeared in Dragon Emperor City was just a fake one. Zhang Tie was just a wind immortal who stole the throne of Dragon Emperor using a trick. Even Zhang Tie himself had died in the Infinite Immortal Prison. Additionally, Zhang Tie was from another world; instead of Motian Realm.

In Motian Realm, if an emperor-level immortal palace which occupied a big domain was suddenly supposed to be ruled by a person who didn’t have really great battle force or even lose its owner, its outcome could be imagined.

When Versatile Demon Emperor raided Dragon Emperor City for the third time and retreated safe and sound, another great force in Broken Stars Sea called Black Blood Alliance finally couldn’t wait to charge at Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Closely followed by some throne-level immortal palaces, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and the other ambitious forces and powers from the rest of Motian Realm…

In front of such greedy and powerful opponents, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace which had lost its owner and lacked morale kept collapsing time and time again. In only a few years, Dragon Emperor Big Domain had become a piece of flesh that all the other forces were scrambling for. As a result, the size of the region under the control of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace soon shrank to 1/5 of that before. They could only linger on with their last breath of lives.

In many people’s eyes, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had already fallen. It was only lingering on with its last breath of life. This powerful immortal palace would soon be forgotten by the others like many other immortal palaces which had collapsed in the history of Motian Realm.

The latest example was Rune Emperor Immortal Palace. Now it came to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

History and destiny had great inertia, which didn’t change with one’s will on many occasions. If Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was taken as an edifice, it had been heavily damaged before Zhang Tie came to Motian Realm. The huge pillars of the edifice had long been broken. The edifice was going to fall soon. Zhang Tie tried his best to find a pivot point and support this edifice in case that it further tilted. He even attempted to slowly help it stand straight and become as prosperous and brilliant as before by fixing those broken parts in the edifice.

If he were in another environment or had enough time, Zhang Tie might really make it. Pitifully, he was in Motian Realm where Versatile Demon Emperor wouldn’t spare any time to him; nor would the other demons. Those ambitious people who had long been casting greedy eyes on the resources, land and population of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace wouldn’t spare any time to Zhang Tie either.

Therefore, when the news that Zhang Tie “died” in the Infinite Immortal Prison, the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace went back to the former track of destiny facing the great inertia of history. Unavoidably, it fell to the ground heavily and was stomped by numerous big feet and could barely pick itself up anymore. From then on, it could only be completely disintegrated…

The historical inertia didn’t change; however, the result seemed to be a bit different.

Because of the appearance of Zhang Tie, two elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were recognized as moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and cleaned up; Dragon Teeth Army was founded and was in the hands of those who were loyal to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Additionally, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was able to produce Dragon Emperor Medicament which was popular across Motian Realm. Zhang Tie even asked Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to establish close cooperation with Emperor NvWa’s Palace; furthermore, Zhang Tie unveiled the conspiracy of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Versatile Demon Emperor and made great contributions to all the humans in Motian Realm. Zhang Tie’s performance in the battle outside Infinite Immortal Prison 7 years ago even won the favor of Force Emperor.

Because of these differences, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace which had fallen to the ground and was bleeding weakly while being besieged by packs of wolves could still maintain its last breath and 1/5 of the territory of Dragon Emperor Big Domain; instead of being completely disintegrated. A lot of immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were still defending Dragon Emperor City so that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace’s banner could still sway in the air above Dragon Emperor City; instead of falling to the ground…

This was the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

After leaving Mountain Ruins, the fierce intent that Zhang Tie had been controlling for one night finally surged in his heart like a billowy tide.

Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace belonged to Zhang Tie or Dragon Emperor. It had a special meaning in Zhang Tie’s heart. Given the four words that Dragon Emperor left, Zhang Tie would never allow Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to be disintegrated and stained.

This time, he had to make a massacre. He had to ensure that nobody dared cast greedy eyes on Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace after leaving Motian Realm for 1,000 years.

Since Zhang Tie left Mountain Ruins, the route from the bottom of Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer to Dragon Emperor Big Domain was a straight slant which was longer than 300,000 miles. Over half a month ago, it almost took Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong 18 days to travel about 200,000 miles before arriving at the bottom of Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer. However, it only took Zhang Tie and them over 6 hours to finish 300,000 miles this time.

They left Mountain Ruins before daybreak; however, over 6 hours later, they had already arrived at Dragon Emperor Big Domain. When they arrived at the air zone above Dragon Emperor Big Domain, they found the sun was still hanging high over the sky, even half an hour before lunch.

When Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong saw Dragon Emperor Big Domain below, they almost didn’t believe in their eyes.

Zhang Tie was always silent. When they arrived at Dragon Emperor Big Domain, he asked the two women a question.

“I remember there’re two big cities in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain, Weststart City and Dragonsea City. You said that Black Blood Alliance had already occupied the large area in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain near Brokenstars Sea with the banner of Black Blood Immortal Palace, do you know where the headquarters of Black Blood Immortal Palace is in, Weststart City or Dragonsea City?”

“It’s in Dragonsea City!” Su Haimei answered, “But Dragonsea City has been renamed as Blackblood City!”

“How many supreme immortal generals are in Black Blood Alliance?”

“Two. They’re Two Blackblood Sages who presided over Black Blood Alliance before. They’re now called Left and Right Immortal Kings of Black Blood Immortal Palace…”

“Are they always in Dragonsea City?”

“Yes, they are!” Su Haimei nodded as she added,”Previously, all the immortal generals who joined Black Blood Alliance were evil criminals. They stayed in Brokenstars Sea and robbed airboats. Later on, they directly took Brokenstars Sea as their territory and asked tolls from airboats or asked them to submit 2/10 of goods and wealth to them. Besides immortal palaces, they ignored ordinary major clans. Since they occupied the large area in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain, Two Blackblood Sages had been said to convene their subordinate immortal generals for carnivals, drinks and sex all day long in the immortal palace in an extremely luxurious way…”

“That’s great!” Zhang Tie revealed a bone-chilling smile as he added, “Hopefully, all the b*stards are gathering together in case of trouble…” As he said, Zhang Tie had already adjusted his direction and flew straightly towards Dragonsea City.
