Castle of Black Iron

After Zhang Tie flew towards the northwest of Dragon Emperor City for 6,000 miles and got out of the sight of everyone, Zhang Tie entered the thick clouds. Closely after that, he triggered his invisible shen bead and master-level hiding skill at the same time. Closely after that, he directly disappeared and couldn't be discovered by anybody else.

Of course, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were escaping to the southeast of Dragon Emperor City; instead of the northwest. In the beginning, they indeed moved towards the northwest. However, after traveling 5,000 m, they suddenly made a turn and escaped to the southeast.

Even though those elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn't sense their traces any more, the two people's whereabouts were as eye-catching as burning torches in the dark. After confirming their identities, Zhang Tie had long left some tracing feathers on them in case of emergency.

Zhang Tie never took anybody lightly, not to mention that Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu were both semi-sage level knights who had high positions in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Such powers always hid their trump cards until the last moment. Therefore, Zhang Tie was always careful.

The fact proved that Zhang Tie's precautions were pretty correct.

When they were in dilemma, Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu indeed showed their trump cards for the sake of safety.

Perhaps the two people had got such a plan when Xia Yangming released his semi-sage realm. Given the effect of the automatic explosion of the semi-sage realm, it was just used to delay Zhang Tie and those elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Since Xia Yangming released his semi-sage realm, they had been ready to escape. However, they still pretended to fight to death. That got to be really cunning seniors.

When Zhang Tie was not sure whether Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu had other henchmen in Dragon Emperor City, Zhang Tie purposefully chose a route which was opposite to the direction of the two people. Detail counted the most. If Zhang Tie chased after the two people in the same direction, as long as Zhang Tie's action direction was leaked to Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu by the other moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, the two people would instantly think that Zhang Tie might have left marks on them. In this way, it would be much more difficult for Zhang Tie to catch them in the future.

Details determined success or failure.

As Zhang Tie flew, he kept checking the silver secret item in his qi sea which was heavily broken by Heavenly-Separation Sword...

That shield had already manifested its original look——a huge tortoise. The tortoise hid its head and limbs into its shell. Floating in the void above his qi sea quietly, the tortoise had a deep wound on its back, which almost split it into two halves.

Zhang Tie attempted to call it; however, the huge tortoise didn't respond at all as if it was in hibernation. Zhang Tie even tried to inject his battle qi and spiritual energy into the huge tortoise's body only to receive no response.

It was Zhang Tie's first time to meet such a situation. In Taixia Country, he had not heard that silver secret items could be broken; let alone fixing them. Realizing that he couldn't recover the original body of the secret item, Zhang Tie gave it up.

Silver secret items were precious. However, Zhang Tie had a lot of shields, which were all used to deal with extreme situations.

Being invisible, it only took Zhang Tie a few minutes to catch up with the two people who were escaping by Earth-River Vehicle into the ground at a high speed. With the help of tracing feathers, Zhang Tie kept a straight distance of over 150 miles with the two people in the sky. Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu could never imagine that they had been precisely targeted by Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie just followed them like how a hunter traced his prey. Meanwhile, he was waiting for opportunities to catch them. Zhang Tie believed that the two people would not stay underground forever. As long as they came out of the ground, Zhang Tie would be able to find an opportunity to catch them.

It was just a matter of patience.

...

On April 3rd, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace delivered the wanted circular of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu the former elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, which was the first wanted circular of elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. In the wanted circular, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace disclosed the fact that the two people were under the control of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. The entire Motian Realm was shocked the moment this wanted circular was delivered. Closely after that, the issue of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace began to heat up again.

Nobody could imagine that the most high-level moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were caught in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace first when Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace were still doubting whether there were moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in their systems.

When Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace delivered the wanted circular, they also disclosed a piece of key information to the entire Motian Realm——Dark Emperor Immortal Palace could enable immortal generals to breach the bloody pledge without suffering any damage.

Even an emperor-level immortal palace was penetrated by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace heavily and fire immortal general-level elders could become the puppets of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, not to mention the other inferior immortal palaces. How many immortal palaces dared say that they had more established systems than Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace?

In a short period of time, all the human immortal palaces felt imperiled while all the dark forces were surging across the Motian Realm...

It was said that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace also caught many immortal generals in the five major departments of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace while hunting Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu. All the captives were henchmen of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu, who might have been controlled by Golden-Soul Rune Virus.

After knowing this news, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace instantly dispatched powers and rune masters to Dragon Emperor Big Domain so that they could study the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in the heads of those captives. As of now, although the two immortal palaces had already confirmed the existence of Golden-Soul Rune Virus in Woods Middle Domain, they hadn't found experimental subjects yet. Golden-Soul Rune Virus could even barely be confirmed, not to mention being detoxified. After hearing that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had caught some alive immortal generals, of course, they would seize this opportunity. If they could work out a solution to confirm Golden-Soul Rune Virus, it would be much easier for them to deal with Dark Emperor Immortal Palace...

Pitifully, although Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal had a good plan, before their experts arrived at Dragon Emperor Big Domain, all the captives' heads had already blown up on the premise that they were controlled by Demon-Fixing Spike.

The clue of Golden-Soul Rune Virus was broken once again as the effect of Golden-Soul Rune Virus scared everyone...

The event of Dragon Emperor City soon reached the rest of Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Many branches of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace released information that some immortal generals had disappeared after April 3rd...

The entire Dragon Emperor Big Domain and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace soon entered a state of emergency. With elders on their back, the five presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace took actions separately as they were responsible for cleaning up all the henchmen of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu across Dragon Emperor Big Domain. As a result, the entire Dragon Emperor Big Domain was in chaos...

At that time, Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu and Zhang Tie disappeared like how a clay oxen entered the sea...
