Castle of Black Iron

Commoners might barely bear a long time wait; however, Zhang Tie felt it was pretty easy.

With multitasking ability, Zhang Tie could observe the situation in the underground space with his lotus-flower eyes while catching water-element crystals by huge hands of spiritual energy so as to form his water chakra. In the process, he would even close his eyes to recite great wilderness sutra as an adjustment. Sometimes, he directly had a nap with closed eyes while lying in the air.

Zhang Tie just waited for the prey in the secret space patiently.

He planned to wait there for 20 days. If nobody came inside within 20 days, he would take away the 4 double-headed parent puppet worms, leaving the tracing feathers here. If someone really came here within 20 days, he would deal with it according to the changing circumstances.

On the first day since Zhang Tie started to wait inside the secret space, three more teams of knights came to the underground space in Pingsha Valley.

Whenever some knights entered the underground space, Zhang Tie would watch those people going around in the secret space which looked like a box in the playing field with a dozens of meters thick wall between them. What an amazing feeling! Zhang Tie could see them, yet they couldn't see Zhang Tie. Everything was one-way transparent for Zhang Tie.

In the next one week, 2 to 4 teams of knights would come here everyday. However, none of them could find anything.

One week later, the number of knights who came to Pingsha Valley suddenly reduced. Only 1-2 teams of knights would come here per day. Like how Zhang Tie conjectured, after the event in Zhongzhou Province broke out for more than a month, those who could come here had almost come here. Those who were unable to come here might have already known the situation in Pingsha Valley through various channels. After knowing that they could not gain any useful intelligence from this underground space, they didn't come here anymore.

After another 3-5 days, Pingsha Valley became really deserted. Sometimes, nobody came here for a whole day.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had stayed 16 days in the secret space.

During this period, the prey didn't come. However, Zhang Tie lit the 38th scale of his water chakra. Additionally, he recited great wilderness sutra for another over 500,000 times.

Nobody came to Pingsha Valley on the 17th day. Zhang Tie almost changed his mind. He started to reflect that he might be too confident about his speculation. The Heavens Reaching Church might not pay too much attention to the 4 double-headed parent puppet worms. Perhaps, the Heavens Reaching Church was too meticulous. They might wait for another few months or even years. When the event was completely forgotten by people, they would come back.

'If so, I will leave in another 3 days.' Zhang Tie made a determination.

No matter what, Zhang Tie couldn't just wait here endlessly. Because Bai Suxian was still waiting for him. The Fire Dragon Bounty Territory and the Iron-Dragon Sect had to be hosted by him.

During the 17 days since he left Iron-Dragon Airboat, Bai Suxian would contact him by remote-sensing crystal one time per two days so as to ensure that Zhang Tie was safe.

At this moment, Iron-Dragon Airboat was parked in the aircraft base in Zhongzhou City and was waiting for Zhang Tie.

On the evening of the 17th day when Zhang Tie almost changed his mind, another black iron knight entered the underground space.

When this knight entered this underground space, he started to look around the empty bloody sea like what the others would always do. After throwing a glance at him, Zhang Tie directly ignored him.

However, after looking around it for a short while, the black iron knight suddenly rose high into the air and moved around the dome of the underground space. Zhang Tie became a bit spirited; however, he was not sure whether there was any problem with this black iron knight. Over these days, Zhang Tie had seen some knights looking around in the air. Some of them would even knock at the massif and the dome. However, none of them could discover anything.

When this person looked around in the air for a short while and approached the location of the secret space slowly, Zhang Tie's heart raced as he realized that the prey was coming.

The black iron knight was an old d**chebag with a cold face. When this old guy approached the location of the secret space, Zhang Tie was sure that there was some problem with this guy. Closely after that, Zhang Tie started his lotus-flower eyes and saw through the real face of the arriver.

This man was wearing a disguising mask. The face under the disguising mask was much younger than the disguising mask. It seemed that he was in the prime of his life. With long, narrowed eyes, he looked ruthless, tyrannical, evil, vigilant and suspicious.

Zhang Tie had seen this man; precisely, he had seen the image of this man on the city gates across Taixia Country. He was Wen Haoyun, the master of Pingsha Sect and Wen Clan, who was wanted by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country due to the event of bloody figures in Zhongzhou Province.

Wen Haoyun soon approached the periphery of the secret space. Floating in the air, he put one hand against the thick cliff. At the same time, he released his battle qi and broke a wide area of rocks silently. After waving his hand, all the broken rocks were teleported into his portable space-teleportation item instead of falling on the ground.

When Wen Haoyun started to move, Zhang Tie moved too. In a split second, Zhang Tie threw a glance at the secret space and confirmed that he didn't leave any trace inside. After that, he returned to Castle of Black Iron. At the same time, a little black beetle appeared and hid itself at the bottom of one black container while concealing its qi.

The bottoms of the 4 containers were plain. However, there was a 3 cm-high edge around each bottom, which was used to support and prevent the bottom from being worn.

Because of the slight difference in weight between those double-headed parent puppet worms and the liquid in the 4 containers, Zhang Tie would not be easily discovered by people while hiding at the bottom of one container.

As for a knight, as long as he made a decision, dozens of meters' thick rocks couldn't block him at all.

Hiding over there, Zhang Tie only felt that the ground slightly vibrated. In less than 5 minutes, Wen Haoyun had broken a hole on a cliff of the secret space and drilled inside.

After entering the secret space, Wen Haoyun glanced around the secret space with gleaming eyes. When he found that everything remained unchanged in the secret space and the 4 containers were still lying there, he immediately became reassured as he let out a sigh.

At this moment, no matter how rich imagination did he have, he couldn't imagine that a person had already entered this secret space in the incarnation of a strange insect.

Wen Haoyun put away that fluorite rapidly. Closely after that, he lifted the handles of two containers by each hand and exited this secret karst cave as fast as he could.

After exiting the secret karst cave, Wen Haoyun didn't leave right away; instead, after moving dozens of meters backward, Wen Haoyun suspended in the air. Closely after that, his battle qi went berserk.

He started to release his knight-level battle qi by kicking. Being dozens of meters away, a lot of rocks fell off the dome. Meanwhile, those broken rocks in his portable space-teleportation item were also poured down by him.

In less than 5 minutes, the natural karst cave where the underground secret space was located in had been completely destroyed by him. After doing this, Wen Haoyun casually made some more big pits on the dome. Closely after that, he immediately flew towards the ground as fast as a lightning bolt.

The little beetle had seen what Wen Haoyun had done.

This guy was indeed meticulous and experienced. Through such a destruction, he completely erased the trace of that secret space and destroyed the evidence. Later on, even though those people in the Supreme Court came here to check out the situation once again, they could only think that some knights were exploring something here. They would never imagine that there was a secret space in the dome; not to mention that some items in the secret space were taken away...

...

The moment Wen Haoyun flew out of the entrance of the underground cave, a man in a black boa-silk robe had flown over here. Given his qi, he was an earth knight.

After staying in the underground space for 17 days, when Zhang Tie came out of there once again, he found that it was still pitch-dark outside. Additionally, it was cloudy with no sparkling stars in the sky. The moisture and coldness in the air also indicated that Pingsha Valley was always cloudy these days.

"How about it?" The new arriver asked Wen Haoyun. At the same time, he glanced at the 4 containers in Wen Haoyun's hands.

"Everything is okay. It's not been discovered yet!" Wen Haoyun glanced around vigilantly before asking, "Is it okay outside?"

"It's okay. I've been observing this place for so many days. Almost nobody came here for a few days." That earth knight in the black robe answered, "Now that we've got the items, let's leave out of here fast. The young master is still waiting for us!"

"Right!" Wen Haoyun nodded. Closely after that, they all flew off towards afar silently.

In case of being noticed by others, they didn't release their battle qi luster when they left Pingsha Valley. Therefore, their flight speed was only about 200 miles per hour at a relatively lower height. Not until they flew over 60 miles away from Pingsha Valley and entered the wild did they hide in two places respectively to confirm that nobody was following them. After that, they converged once again while flying towards afar like two meteors at a high speed.
