Castle of Black Iron

After putting the nine-leaf dendrobium into his space-teleportation item, Immortal Being in Cloud looked around vigilantly as he told Zhang Tie secretly, "Li, we'd better find a place to settle down. We should not stay here for too long. Some demon powers might come here at any time..."

After hearing the words of Immortal Being in Cloud, Zhang Tie became speechless in an instant. He felt that this guy had reversed the order. 'As a normal person, shouldn't he observe the surroundings before taking any action in such a perilous region? However, this guy instantly picked the nine-leaf dendrobium the moment he caught sight of it without caring about any dangers at all. Given his deed, this guy definitely treasures wealth more than his life. He's really similar to Donder.'

Time tries all. Over these days, Zhang Tie had not found that Old Jiang was so obsessed with wealth. He only felt that this guy was well-informed. Zhang Tie even admired him; unexpectedly, this guy revealed his original look the moment he caught sight of a nine-leaf dendrobium in Motian Realm.

"The nine-leaf dendrobium..." Zhang Tie said with a bit hesitation as he looked at the space-teleportation finger ring on a finger of Immortal Being in Cloud.

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Immortal Being in Cloud instantly turned solemn as he started to explain, "Ahem, ahem, as I discovered it and picked it first, of course, I should own it. Li, don't you know the regulation in Mountain Ruins? As for the ownerless objects inside Mountain Ruins, the one who gets it first will own it!"

"Aren't we partners?"

"Erm... Li, do you remember what I told you that day? I've agreed with you to enter Mountain Ruins together as pals, but I've not said that I will share anything that I get in Mountain Ruins with you. Even blood brothers should keep careful accounts..." Immortal Being in Cloud explained with a smile as he looked like a shrewd businessman.

"Well, as we've already entered Mountain Ruins, each pursues his onward journey, see you.." Zhang Tie said as he directly flew away towards a direction.

After being shortly stunned, Immortal Being in Cloud hurriedly caught up with Zhang Tie as he urged, "Li, as it's your first time to enter Mountain Ruins, it would be very dangerous for you without my guidance..."

"It doesn't matter. No matter how dangerous it is, I will take a look around here and learn about it..." Zhang Tie said calmly.

"Li, how about this? Given that you've covered me to penetrate through Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer, after exchanging the nine-leaf dendrobium for element crystals, I will give you 100 element crystals..." Immortal Being in Cloud gnashed his teeth as he said reluctantly.

"No need, don't follow me anymore..." Zhang Tie sped up and reached 6 times the speed of sound in a split second, leaving Immortal Being in Cloud behind at a stroke.

"200, Li, I will give you 200 element crystals..." Immortal Being in Cloud advanced it loudly.

Zhang Tie continued to fly silently. Right then, Heller's voice sounded, "Castle Lord, I feel the situation inside Mountain Ruins is a bit strange."

"Strange, what do you mean?" Zhang Tie asked Heller in his mind sea.

"The time-space force here is in a very fragile balance. Castle Lord, I think you're able to see the space cracks in the distance..."

"Yes, I could see them. But it's the 15th day of this month, of course, the time-space force here is in balance. Otherwise, how do we use the space-teleportation item?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.

"I didn't mean that. I mean the time-space force here might be different than that under the Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer. The time-space force here is in still balance; instead of being in dynamic change like those in the space under Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer which could only reach a balanced state for 2 days per month.

"You mean..." Zhang Tie became slightly stunned.

"I mean you could use space-teleportation item here without any limit just like that in Taixia Country..."

'F*ck!'

Because of Heller's words, Zhang Tie, who was flying at a high speed, instantly stopped in the air with an odd look with a slightly opened mouth which looked like neither smiling nor crying. However, if someone who was familiar with Zhang Tie was beside him, they could identify that Zhang Tie must have discovered a great surprise.

Even God pitied Zhang Tie. Since he came to Motian Realm, as he couldn't access to Castle of Black Iron at his will, Zhang Tie had suffered a lot. Recently, he was almost killed by Versatile Demon Emperor. If Castle of Black Iron was available at that time, the situation would be much better. If he could use Castle of Black Iron at his will in Mountain Ruins, it meant that Zhang Tie's most powerful trump card was coming back. Of course, he was driven ecstatic.

When in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie didn't feel that it was a surprise for him to access to Castle of Black Iron at his will. Not until he entered the Motian Realm did Zhang Tie feel that it was a happy thing to use the space-teleportation item at his will.

"Ah, Li, you've agreed to take 200 element crystals..." Watching Zhang Tie stopping there, Immortal Being in Cloud thought that Zhang Tie had agreed with his promise; therefore, he hurriedly flew over here like heaving a deep sigh in relief.

"Can we use the space-teleportation item in Mountain Ruins at any time?" Zhang Tie turned around as he asked Immortal Being in Cloud at a stroke.

"Yes!" Immortal Being in Cloud answered after a short silence.

"Why not tell me about that earlier?"

"Li, didn't you know that before?" Immortal Being in Cloud asked Zhang Tie as he watched the latter like seeing a monster, explaining, "As wind immortal generals, I think almost everyone knows that. Below Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer, we could only use the space-teleportation item on the 1st day and the 15th day of each month. However, in Mountain Ruins, there's no time limit. We could use the space-teleportation item at our will. If we couldn't use the space-teleportation item in Mountain Ruins, those secret realms would collapse..."

"Secret realms?"

"Yea, didn't I tell you about it, Li. There're many secret realms in Mountain Ruins, which are connected to other private spaces inside Mountain ruins..."

Zhang Tie forcefully patted his head. What Immortal Being in Cloud said should not be profound knowledge or a secret. However, as all those people who knew Zhang Tie thought that he had already known that, none of them told him about that. Therefore, he didn't know about it until now. This was also one of the sequels for him to enter Motian Realm. He didn't even know some common sense or always made wrong judgments. Before coming here, Zhang Tie always thought that space-teleportation items were not available in Mountain Ruins just like that under Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer except 2 days per month and the so-called secret realms were just some hidden places in Mountain Ruins.

What a surprise...

"Now that you've discovered the nine-leaf dendrobium first, just take it. I won't share any element crystals with you. I have no interest in it at all. But as we're already in Mountain Ruins, you'd better tell me about your purpose for insisting on coming to Mountain Ruins together with me. I've got something important to do in Mountain Ruins. I won't waste time with you here. If you don't tell me about the truth and keep following me, I could only think that you're going to screw me up and I will launch attacks!" Zhang Tie glared at Immortal Being in Cloud as he said rudely and straightforwardly.

"Ah, Li, I've not imagined that you're so clear..." Immortal Being in Cloud became slightly surprised as he took an appreciative look at Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie then raised his eyebrows, eyes wide...

"Well, well, I will tell you the truth; I will tell you the truth. Li, I want to cooperate with you for a profitable business in Mountain Ruins..." Immortal Being in Cloud hurriedly explained.

"What business?"

"It's not a fresh business. Hunt demon immortal generals and exchange their heads for many good items in the secret realm of Emperor NvWa Palace in Mountain Ruins. Many human immortal generals would like to do that in Mountain Ruins..."

"I could do that myself. Why would I cooperate with you?"

"I've got a secret skill. I could make demon immortal generals fall into my trap. Li, as long as you promise to cooperate with me, we would definitely catch demon immortal generals..."
