Castle of Black Iron

It was out of the imagination of Zhang Taixuan and the other clan elders of Huaiyuan Palace that Zhang Tie could take out 4 space-teleportation finger rings and 4 silver secret weapons at the same time. Even earth knights might not have such precious space-teleportation equipment. However, it was like wholesale for Zhang Tie. It seemed that silver secret weapons were as cheap and common as white cabbages for Zhang Tie. All the clan elders were shocked by Zhang Tie's generosity, including Zhang Taixuan.

At their age, those clan elders were shrewd as they knew that Zhang Tie just wanted to let them not feel embarrassed although Zhang Tie said they could return those finger rings and silver secret items to him after the holy war. Based on Zhang Tie's temperament and the fact that each holy war would last about 100 years, they knew that Zhang Tie would not ask them to return it by then.

Actually, Zhang Tie gifted these items to Huaiyuan Palace for the sake of its overall strength.

All the clan elders of Huaiyuan Palace were moved; however, they had to consider about Zhang Taixuan's attitude as they fixated onto him.

In the beginning, Zhang Taixuan watched space-teleportation equipment solemnly. After a few seconds, he suddenly burst into laughter as he relaxed his facial expression, saying, "As the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace, Elder Mushen is in a lofty position. Now that it's gifted by Elder Mushen sincerely, just take them. It's not late when we return it to Elder Mushen after the holy war comes to an end!"

Zhang Taixuan then took the finger ring, followed by all the other clan elders.

As for Elder Muray and Elder Muyu, they didn't look abnormal when they took the finger rings; however, they both felt relieved inside——After being used to something, people would rely on it. After a knight was used to carry a space-teleportation finger ring, if the finger ring was taken away from him, he would not be used to it. It was similar to be naked after being used to wear clothes.

Everybody was happy now.

Zhang Tie's generosity intensified those clan elders' understanding about him.

"There we go!" Zhang Tie nodded with a sincere smile when the others took his space-teleportation finger rings.

"It's said that Elder Mushen was struck by the thunder of nirvana above the bank of Weishui River. The thunder of nirvana is very terrifying. People could barely survive it, even heavenly knights and sage-level knights. Elder Mushen is really fortunate. I wonder whether Elder Mushen has recovered or not?" Zhang Taixuan asked Zhang Tie with a concerned look after taking that space-teleportation finger ring.

Zhang Tie had already explained it to Elder Muyuan when he paid a visit to him in Xuanyuan Hill. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt it unnecessary to conceal it from Zhang Taixuan and the other clan elders. Therefore, he said honestly with a bitter smile, "To be honest, the injuries caused by the thunder of nirvana have not been fully cured although the crown prince and the three top doctors have used all the possible means they could. The strength of the thunder of nirvana still remains in my body. With its influence, my spiritual energy and battle qi were engulfed bit by bit and are not available at all. Although appearing fully recovered, I actually have just recovered my sheer strength and the abilities of some ancestral bloodlines. It's okay for me to deal with demons below knights, but I couldn't even release my battle qi towards a knight; neither could I exert my special skills. I'm afraid that I could only be captured or escape at most facing a demon knight. As my recovery situation is confidential to demons and Three-eye Association, please keep the secret for me."

Zhang Taixuan and all the other clan elders nodded. However, nobody noticed that abnormal light flashing across Zhang Taixuan's eyes when he lowered his head...

"Elder Mushen is concerned about the safety of the human world at your solo effort. You're the pride of Huaiyuan Palace. Just let me know if you need Huaiyuan Palace to do anything for you. I, Zhang Taixuan would meet your demand as long as it could help you recover your injuries even at the cost of losing my blood and flesh!" Zhang Taixuan said solemnly.

"Thank you so much, clan head!"

...

After meeting Zhang Tie, the clan head and the other clan elders of Huaiyuan Palace had left there by airboat.

Zhang Tie then met Donder and the over-arching members of Brotherhood.

The key members of Brotherhood had spent all their efforts in building the New Blackhot City in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. After 2 years of construction, New Blackhot City had begun to take shape. Half of its city wall and city-defense facilities had been completed. The new city had been put into use partially.

In some sense, Blackhot City in Waii Subcontinent was the prototype of the New Blackhot City in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory except for some minor differences. Urged by the key members of Brotherhood, this new city basically referred to the layout of the original Blackhot City.

As for everybody of the former Hit-Plane Brotherhood, Blackhot City was closely related to their adolescence and dreams. The Waii Subcontinent had already deteriorated into a depopulated zone, including the original Blackhot City. The process of its reappearance in Taixia Country was full of excitement and driving force.

Hearing the members of Brotherhood depicting about the things in the New Blackhot City, Zhang Tie couldn't wait to take a look over there with the guidance of them.

As Barley and the other guys knew that Zhang Tie must have a lot of words to tell about his family members after leaving home for 2 years, they only stayed in Iron-Dragon Sect for less than 2 hours. After appointing with Zhang Tie on the time to show him around the New Blackhot City, they left by airship.

"This world is growing more and more complex. The reality is more bizarre than that in knight novels too!" After seeing off Barley and the other key members of Brotherhood, Donder let out a sigh as he told Zhang Tie, "Who could imagine that an apprentice in a grocery nearby the railway station of Blackhot City could become a divine dominator. Blackhot City was not a treasure land. Very few knights would even fly over it. According to the standard in Taixia Country, Blackhot City was absolutely a place where even birds didn't feel like taking a shit. How could such a freak like you come from that sort of a place? It seems that all the vitality across the Waii Subcontinent had been absorbed by you. You would always change greatly only in a few days. Therefore, I have to pinch myself a couple of times whenever I see you so as to remind me that I'm not dreaming..."

Zhang Tie looked at Donder. Although this guy's temperament remained unchanged, he had got some pale hair near his ears and deeper wrinkles on his forehead after only 2 years. Over the past 2 years, Donder had really tried his best to serve Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory.

Kneading his face, Zhang Tie asked, "Really? I feel my shortcomings are becoming more and more evident. I really need to trouble you!"

"What's that?" Donder asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"Fetch a batch of resourceful figures within Youzhou Province, Northeast Military Region or the rest of Taixia Country to build a think tank for me. I feel that I couldn't contemplate everything well!"

"How poor I am! I'm born to go on errands. I won't be busier when you come back. Look, I've lost more than 10 kg weight over the past 2 years..." Donder sighed with a sad smile.

"Forget about it if you don't want to do it. Previously, I was thinking about sending you a fruit of cross-realm flower. Now that you complain about being tired, you'd better take a good rest. I will have people send you hundreds of pounds of flesh. I'm sure that you will get your weight back. It seems that I will have to find someone else to do that for me!" Zhang Tie said solemnly as he turned around and intended to leave in a measured manner.

After hearing that Zhang Tie was going to send him a fruit of cross-realm flower, Donder sprung up at once as he towed Zhang Tie with sparkling eyes, saying, "Who's tired? Who's tired? Damn it! You should ask you consciousness. You've known me for so many years. Am I that kind of a person? Don't you know that I'm actually expecting to lose weight recently? I feel better to be thin and spirited. I will do that for you well!"

After leaving those words, Donder instantly scuttled away towards the airport as he was going to leave Iron-Dragon Sect by airboat.

Seeing Donder off, Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he shook his head. After that, he met Mountain Lifting Hermit, Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi...

...

When Zhang Tie returned to the courtyard of his wives and concubines, he found Yan Feiqing was not there. After asking someone, he knew that Yan Feiqing had flown away after having a short chat with O'Laura and the other wives and concubines in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and gaining their approval. She wanted to live in Threespring Prefecture for some days...

Zhang Tie knew that Guo Hongyi had already returned to Threespring Prefecture. Additionally, the news that he had returned to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory would soon spread over Youzhou Province. In this case, Yan Feiqing felt embarrassed to continue to stay in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Therefore, she could only go back to Threespring Prefecture for the time being in case of embarrassment.

"It's also not bad to have an elder sister who's a heavenly knight!" O'Laura smiled as she added, "At least similar events such as Sacred Light Empire assigning its expeditionary army to attack Ice and Snow Wilderness would not happen anymore..."

O'Laura's words almost represented the opinion of these women at present. What Yan Feiqing told Aimei, Aixue, Linda, Fiona and Beverly in Xuanyuan Hill a few days ago would get the same effect here for sure. No matter what, the great power of a heavenly knight was out of doubt. Now that they could accept domineering Bai Suxian; of course they could accept Yan Feiqing who was more domineering. No matter how domineering she was, she was just a woman on Zhang Tie's side.

"During the past 2 years, thanks for your hard work, my dear wives. It's really my great honor to win your favor and help..." Zhang Tie looked at his wives and concubines as he bowed deeply towards them sincerely.

Zhang Tie's words aroused tears in their eyes.

"No matter what, you're more laborious than us as you fought demons on the battlefield. As women, we never feel meticulous when we see our man fighting demons on the battlefield for the sake of the country and home at the risk of your life!"

"I would stay here for a period. I could stay with you..." Zhang Tie said with a smile. Closely after that, he revealed an erotic expression, "Raise your hands if anyone wants kids..."
