Castle of Black Iron

1631 A Long Rainbow

It soon came to January 28, the date before the duel between Zhang Tie and the three top sects.

Representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion, Qionglou Pavilion, Heavenly Fortune Sect, Demons-Killing Valley, Gold and Power Law, major clans and sects in Taixia Country had already arrived at Yinhai, including the airboats of Iron-Dragon Sect, except Immortal Qianji Zhang Tie. As a result, the atmosphere of the entire Yinhai became weird.

Due to Han Zhengfang's event, Gold and Power Law had been silent for two years. It had almost been excluded by the other top sects and circle of knights in Taixia Country. However, Gold and Power Law appeared above Yinhai in a pretty flamboyant way.

The other clans and sects only dispatched one airboat here; however, Gold and Power Law dispatched six airboats here, each of them was longer than 1,000 m. As a result, Gold and Power Law's airboats alone were more domineering than the total of airboats dispatched by the other top sects.

After the six airboats arrived at Yinhai, they divided into two groups, three in one, forming two huge airborne platforms with a short distance in between. The two huge platforms were open to all the human knights for free. All the knights who could fly onto the airboats would enjoy free drinks and accommodation. After the duel, they could even take a free ride out of the Gobi Desert.

The arrival of the six airboats of Gold and Power Law brought good news to those independent knights and made the space above Yinhai more boisterous. On the day when the six airboats arrived there, the airborne platforms had become the most boisterous places above Yinhai. Tens of thousands of knights gathered in the two platforms. As they enjoyed the superior free services of Gold and Power Law, they exchanged with each other and waited for Zhang Tie. Some of them even made bets about the result of this duel on the airboats.

In this case, only the rich Gold and Power Law could open a gamble and receive the stakes of so many knights.

In this gamble, they only needed to take element crystals as stakes. If they believed that Zhang Tie was the winner, they should pay three times their stakes when Zhang Tie lost it; if they believed in that the three top sects was the winner, they should pay 1/3 of their stakes when Zhang Tie won it. Given the nature of black invitation cards, the two parties would never draw a tie.

All the top decks of the six airboats of Gold and Power Law had been open to the public. Connecting to each other, they became the largest square in the sky. A large number of knights arrived here for watching, making it pretty boisterous.

On the afternoon of January 28, it was hot. The sunshine was so strong that people couldn't even open their eyes. The sky above the Gobi Desert was like a food steamer which was full of rising, twisting, hot air.

What was hotter than the air was the atmosphere on the top decks of the six airboats of Gold and Power Law.

The top six sects had arrived here yesterday. However, Zhang Tie was still not here now. On the decks, especially where they bet, a lot of knights were gathering there and discussing the rolling numbers on the stake plates.

"What if Immortal Qianji doesn't come? The duel is coming tomorrow. How could Immortal Qianji still not appear now..."

"According to the news from Iron-Dragon Sect, Immortal Qianji is in secluded cultivation and would come here before the duel for real..."

"Immortal Qianji is a hero! He didn't even fear the demon army at the bank of Weishui River, how could he be scared by such a scene..."

"Hmm, I agree with you. Immortal Qianji had already fought a sage-level knight in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border a few days ago and left there safe and sound. I don't think the sage-level knights of the three top sects could frighten Immortal Qianji..."

"It's different. This might be a life-or-death fight. As was told by someone a few days ago, if Immortal Qianji is smart, even if he chooses to not come here in the risk of losing his reputation, he could also find it back when he promotes to a heavenly knight or sage-level knight!"

"What would Iron-Dragon Sect do if Immortal Qianji didn't come here? As black invitation cards have been delivered to him, if Immortal Qianji chooses to escape, won't he fear about being mocked by the public? Would the three top sects let Iron-Dragon Sect go?"

'Hehheh, don't forget that Immortal Qianji has the body changing bloodline and a myriad of secret methods. If Immortal Qianji doesn't come, the three top sects dare never do any harm to Iron-Dragon Sect. If a divine dominator avenges them, the three top sects could never bear it. Therefore, the three top sects choose to fight Immortal Qianji aboveboard by sending black invitation cards to him..."

"That sounds reasonable. It appears that we don't need to worry too much about that even if Immortal Qianji doesn't come here!"

When those knights were engaged in hot discussions, a clear and decisive sound drifted over there, covering the buzz.

"My dad would come for real!"

All the knights became quiet in a split second as they turned around at the same time. At that moment, three young men landed on the deck from afar with flashes.

The three young men were similar to each other in both look and height. They might be brothers at 14 or 15. All of them were so handsome that they didn't look like knights at all. However, they were. All the knights on the deck were shocked by them; especially what the young man said——my dad would come for real!

'Are they sons of Immortal Qianji?'

It was said that Immortal Qianji had a powerful bloodline and all of his sons had an exceptional flair in cultivation base. However, none of those at present could imagine that Zhang Tie's sons had already promoted to knights at such a young age. Even among the top six sects, those who promoted to knights at 20 were already top talents. How could Immortal Qianji's bloodline become so powerful and make his sons promote to knights at such a young age?

As they were shocked too much, it was pretty quiet on the deck as everybody just watched Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei walking towards them.

When the three brothers walked to one stake plate, after exchanging a glance with each other, Zhang Chenglei put one file of authorization onto the table before telling the personnel of Gold and Power Law behind the table in a muffled voice, "Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect bet my dad Immortal Qinji is the winner with 100,000 earth crystals and 100,000 water crystals..."

This sentence finally "awakened" those knights as they were in uproar at once.

This was the largest stake that God and Power Law had received since it opened the gamble. The personnel dared not receive it as he hurriedly fetched the manager of Gold and Power Law...

...

At the same time, in the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect, Yan Feiqing whose belly had been convex was sitting on the main seat decently with Mountain Lifting Hermit, Bai Suxian and the others on her left. Watching those representatives of major clans from Northeast Military Region who came here to pay a visit to Zhang Tie, Yan Feiqing said calmly and decisively, "Immortal Qianji would come for real..."

...

On the deck of the airboat of Demons-killing Valley, Pandora had already been standing here for one day. Watching east, she appeared waiting for something with a smile. Although 24 hours might be long for others, it was very short for Pandora who had been used to the long-awaited period in the tower of time. With full expectation, she just waited there patiently.

"Granddaughter, you've already stood here for one day. What if he doesn't come?" Wu Dingtian said helplessly behind Pandora.

Thankfully, Pandora was a knight; if it was another woman, Wu Dingtian would doubt that there was something wrong with her mind.

"He would come for real!" Pandora said with a strong mind, "I could feel that he is coming. He must know that I'm waiting for him here..."

"Didn't he send someone to give you a remote-sensing finger ring? Have you contacted him?"

"No need, grandpa, don't you know telepathy?"

Even a sage-level knight couldn't do any help to a girl who fell in love. When Wu Dingtian wanted to say something, he suddenly felt something strange as he looked at east with a frown.

Not only Wu Dingtian, but all the sage-level knights at Yinhai also looked at east while raising their eyebrows.

It was where Suizhou Province located in the east of Sand Province.

...

At tens of thousands meter high in the air, when Zhang Tie penetrated through a thick cumulonimbus cloud as long as 600 miles, the long-awaited sunshine finally reached him again.

According to the map in his mind, Zhang Tie realized that he was above the land of Suizhou Province. Gobi Desert was right in front where many people were waiting for him, including Pandora.

Although nobody told Zhang Tie that Pandora was waiting for him there, Zhang Tie knew that Pandora was waiting for him with full expectation. 'Perhaps, Pandora is looking at east and longing for my arrival...'

With a long roar, Zhang Tie increased his speed by two times and reached over 10,000 m per second in a split second.

He cancelled off the effect of super hiding skill and drove his spiritual energy to the utmost...

At a speed over 30 times that of sound, Zhang Tie felt high-speed shock waves spreading in the air while the air around him appeared to be catching fire. Under Zhang Tie's control, the moisture in the air and cloud within tens of thousands of meters were condensed, atomized and rocking before turning into a colorful rainbow...

Under the brilliant sunshine, Zhang Tie flew towards Yinhai like driving earth-shaking thunders...

Wherever Zhang Tie passed, numerous people on the ground in the cities, villages, and airboats in the sky would look up and listen to the earsplitting thunders, watching the dreamlike long rainbow crossing the sky with a dumbfounded look...

In less than one hour, all the knights nearby Yinhai had been in uproar as they all looked at east.

In the eastern sky, all the clouds had shattered, changed their color, steamed before turning into colorful auspicious clouds. Right among the auspicious clouds, a long rainbow crossing 7,000 miles arrived like how a heavenly god drove a chariot in the legend...

"Here comes Immortal Qianji..."

On the airboat of Demons-Killing Valley, Pandora revealed a smile as she flew off towards the long rainbow with a black phoenix closely behind her...
