Castle of Black Iron

Nine Heavens Big Domain was in the center of Motian Realm. The entire region was full of conflicts between humans and demons. Dragon Emperor Big Domain was over 230,000 miles away from Nine Heavens Big Domain in the southeast. It would take them almost 20 days or three weeks to arrive there even by airboat.

74 airboats left the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City for Dragon Emperor Big Domain with over 30,000 people in total. The population was indeed not large for so many airboats. Given the replenishment and consumption on the way, according to the requirement of Head Huang, all the airboats had been loaded with enough water and food. Some airboats were fully loaded with materials for replenishing airboats. Therefore, these airboats could fly straight towards Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

Since the airboats left Heavenly Square City, Zhang Tie had been in cultivation in his cabin, completely ignoring everything of outside.

Cabins in airboats were not large; however, each immortal general could have one private cabin which was as large as over 30 square meters just like a small apartment. Additionally, each immortal general could have 60 L of water for both drinking and bathing per day. After taking a box of dried rations into his room, Zhang Tie had been concentrating on cultivation.

Through cultivation, Zhang Tie gradually strengthened his ability in manipulating the two energies which were directly reflected by his higher efficiency in gathering the two energies.

Spiritual energy was like a muscle, which couldn't grow stronger without constant exercise. When Zhang Tie used his spiritual energy to manipulate the two bizarre energies, his spiritual energy was also growing under control. As a result, Zhang Tie could better apply his spiritual energy in the real form in more special skills. A stone for two birds!

As it was too smooth for the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City to retreat, Zhang Tie always felt unnerved. If the immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace were not killed by him, of course, Zhang Tie would not care too much about that. However, Star Emperor Immortal Palace suffered a great loss and didn't get Heavenly Square City in the end; instead, the city fell in the hand of Unicorn Immortal Palace. Star Emperor Immortal Palace really suffered a great loss. On this occasion, it would be a bit strange if Star Emperor Immortal Palace didn't make any response to it.

Additionally, Liu brothers told Zhang Tie that Star Emperor Immortal Palace used to be overbearing and vicious. Therefore, it was almost impossible for them to pass the event in Heavenly Square City without suffering any casualty.

It was estimated that Head Huang had already well planned the route from Heavenly Square City back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain for the fleet of airboats as he knew that Star Emperor Immortal Palace was tricky. On the way, the fleet almost avoided and detoured the sphere of influence of Star Emperor Immortal Palace. They even had many sections of alternative routes. After leaving Heavenly Square City for one day, Huang Baimei altered the route once. On this occasion, it became difficult for Star Emperor Immortal Palace to have people look for the fleet on a large scale. Additionally, as the fleet didn't land for replenishment, the opponent could barely discover their trace either.

Zhang Tie knew what Huang Baimei was worried about. Because the conflict between the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace was aroused by him, Zhang Tie held that he was responsible for the safety of the tens of thousands of people on the airboats on the way. During the flight, although the others thought Zhang Tie was just cultivating in his own cabin, Zhang Tie was actually paying attention to the whole fleet all the time and safeguarding everyone quietly.

Although Zhang Tie was in cultivation, he had already covered the entire fleet spiritually. He could "see" everything within 60 miles. Even a mosquito entering the range would be "caught", not to mention knights. As for those things in cabins, they were as crystal clear as they were in front of his eyes. Zhang Tie would know everything in this range as long as he wanted.

On March 24, the 3584th year of the calendar of Emperor NvWa, namely 9 days since Zhang Tie entered his cultivation in his cabin, Zhang Tie's jade plate rocked again as Head Huang was calling for all the immortal generals to attend a meeting in the conference room of an airboat.

After receiving the news, Zhang Tie ended his cultivation right away. After taking a bath, he entered the conference room for the first time.

It was sunny inside there as the wind and rain across Heavenly Square City had long disappeared; instead of being a piece of land, it was a patch of void in Motian Realm below the airboat. A few days ago, the fleet had already left Nine Heavens Big Domain.

Watching Zhang Tie coming in, those immortal generals at present hurriedly greeted Zhang Tie. Only two of them looked at Zhang Tie in an uncomfortable way: Zhou Baifei, who, after being teased and ironized several times by Zhang Tie, had long been known disliked by the latter. Therefore, Zhou Baifei always felt being put on the spot whenever he saw Zhang Tie. Superficially, his face turned stiff like Bell's palsy.

And Ji Yuelan. The moment Zhang Tie boarded the airboat, he had forgotten about Ji Yuelan. Without being flirted with and favored for a few days, only Zhang Tie knew how many times had Ji Yuelan sworn him, "The fool who only has cultivation in heart" and "Selfish dirty man" when she pitied herself or complained to Jiang Ruoxin in her cabin.

When she saw Zhang Tie again, Ji Yuelan snorted as she moved her eyes away.

Only Liu brothers silently thumbed up for Zhang Tie. Since they joined the immortal palace, the two brothers had understood that they didn't have any chance to be favored by Jiang Ruoxin or Ji Yuelan. Therefore, they gave up pursuing them. Additionally, although Ji Yuelan had a liking to Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie just treated such beauty as nothing; instead, he only cared about cultivation, which the two brothers admired pretty much. Being stimulated by Zhang Tie, the two brothers cultivated much harder on the airboat these days...
