Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1638: A Quarrel

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

“I’m Taiyi Old Man!” the sage-level knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect replied calmly; which sounded patient and kind at least for those onlooking knights. He was not like having a duel with Zhang Tie. “This is Heavenly Hunyuan; this is Shenkong Old Man!” Taiyi Old Man then introduced the other two to Zhang Tie.

Of course, Zhang Tie didn’t think Taiyi Old Man was a good man because of his tender attitude. As the old saying went, those dogs who bite people never bark. Taiyi Old Man’s attitude made Zhang Tie alert, and he realized it was not a simple battle.

“Hahahaha, glad to see you!” Zhang Tie cupped his hands towards them calmly as he asked straightforwardly, “I wonder who would fight me?”

“Don’t be so anxious, Immortal Qianji!” Taiyi Old Man said calmly and righteously, “It’s not that we three sects have turned hostile against Immortal, but we have to preserve our dignity. We must pay off the lives who sacrificed in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. The destructive snakes of Great Wilderness Sect killed so many knights of our three sects. It’s said that the snakes are in your hand. As long as Immortal could hand out the two destructive snakes, we will not make you embarrassed. No matter what, as human knights, if we fight each other in the holy war, demons would gain benefits from it. That would be irrational!”

The three sects were expecting for a good honor as a whole. Strictly, the two destructive snakes were just weapons of Yun Zhongzi. Anyone who knew the details of Great Wilderness Sect should know that. As the destructive snakes killed their knights, it was shameless for the three sects to have Zhang Tie hand out his weapons instead of fighting Yun Zhongzi.

Taiyi Old Man neglected the position of the two destructive snakes in the Great Wilderness Sect and the fact that they were under control; instead, he just took them as mutated beasts. Zhang Tie then became an accomplice to a certain degree. Therefore, the three sects sent black invitation cards to Zhang Tie.

They were lying. Zhang Tie felt that the three sects might have already known that the two snakes were the key to the entire Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. Therefore, they stuck to their opinion.

After hearing Taiyi Old Man’s words, Zhang Tie understood that the three sects intended to stomp him to their feet or kill him. At the same time, they would continue to stand on the commanding height of morality and maintain their paramount positions in Taixia Country in case of any gossip. Therefore, they performed in this way.

Perhaps some onlooking knights could be puzzled by Taiyi Old Man’s words; after Taiyi Old Man finished his words, Zhang Tie took a look at those knights hundreds of miles away as he found many people among them were nodding as if they felt reasonable about Taiyi Old Man’s words. Of course, it was reasonable for them to avenge their disciples’ murders.

However, Zhang Tie instantly figured out the purpose of the three sects. Now that they longed for good honor, Zhang Tie would peel off their fake skin fiercely.

“Hahaha, Taiyi Fantasy Sect is really righteous...” Zhang Tie burst into laughter generously as his sound rumbled across the region, “Given the words of Taiyi Old Man, this battle is completely a misunderstanding. We don’t need to fight anymore in case of breaking harmony between us. Why not judge the result of this combat using the number of heads of demon knights at the bank of Weishui River? See you at the bank of Weishui River...”

Zhang Tie said as he turned around and intended to fly back.

“Wait, Immortal Qianji!” Taiyi Old Man stopped Zhang Tie at once as he moved a few more steps forward, saying, “Immortal Qianji, why do you intend to leave now...”

After turning around, Zhang Tie patted his forehead as if he suddenly thought up something. He then said with a solemn look, “Oh, my poor memory, I almost forgot that you just want the two snakes. To tell the truth, the two b*stards were reckless as before. Although being tamed, they were still recalcitrant; when I was in secluded cultivation a few days ago, they wanted to raid me and were finally killed by me. They’ve already become dust. I’ve already avenge your disciples’ murders for you...”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, the three sage-level knights became silent while all the onlooking knights were in an uproar. Many knights looked pleasant; those who cared about Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh.

In the holy war, as top Hua powerhouses, such a battle should better stop. This was the consensus of many knights.

After being silent for a short while, Taiyi Old Man opened his mouth again. This time, his voice became muffled and rigid, “Immortal Qianji, do you have any evidence?”

“Evidence? The two animals have become dust. What else do you want, Taiyi Old Man? Oh, when I killed them, I kept some skin and scales. Here you go...” Zhang Tie said as he threw a piece of molt and some scales towards the three sage-level knights from 10,000 m away.

As Yun Zhongzi said the snakes’ molt and scales would be very useful, Zhang Tie kept some. The two snakes were now with Yan Feiqing. Unless Yan Feiqing came out to reveal Zhang Tie’s lie, nobody could identify that Zhang Tie was lying.

Under the control of Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy, the piece of molt and scales instantly arrived at the front of the three sage-level knights. Taiyi Old Man, Heavenly Hunyuan and Shenkong Old Man became silent once again. They didn’t take them; instead, they just had them float in front of them.

As Zhang Tie threw the “remains” of the two destructive snakes to the three sage-level knights, the atmosphere above Yinhai became weird at a stroke. Nobody could imagine such a performance.

“Hahaha, if there’s any doubt, you could take those things and have someone authenticate them!” Zhang Tie continued in a casual manner, “As I’ve avenged your disciples’ murders, I wonder how do you appreciate me. Are you negotiating about how to thank me? Hehheh, I like the Taiyi Soul-Building Pills of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. If Taiyi Old Man gifts me 8,000-10,000 pills, I would accept them. As for Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou Pavilion, you could also gift me whatever you have. As Iron-Dragon Sect has just started, we won’t decline it...”

The three sage-level knights were in weird silence. However, Zhang Tie knew that the three old d**chebags might be working out a solution secretly. They must have not imagined that Zhang Tie could be so “shameless”. What was more, Zhang Tie had the molt and scales of the two destructive snakes, which verified that the two snakes had already been killed by him.

“After reaching an agreement, please send your gifts to Iron-Dragon Sect. I have to go first. As for the piece of molt and scales, just take them as my gift. Take them back and offer a sacrifice to those knights and disciples of your sects in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect using them!” After saying these words, Zhang Tie flew back.

“Wait...” A rigid voice drifted once again. All the three sage-level knights surrounded Zhang Tie soon after Zhang Tie moved back.

“Immortal Qianji, your name is known to everyone across the country. Everyone knows that Immortal Qianji has a myriad of tricks. Therefore, we don’t believe in your words!” Shenkong Old Man said as he lowered his eyelids.

“Even if I could tell a lie, the molt and the scales won’t. You could have someone authenticate it!” Zhang Tie said sarcastically with a smile, “What? Don’t you three want to avenge your disciples’ murders? Why do you ignore the remains of your foes? Why not even check it? Given the current situation, I’m afraid those who didn’t understand what happened might think it’s me who killed the knights and disciples of your sects.”

“Black invitation cards couldn’t be revoked. I’m afraid that Immortal would tell the truth after the duel!” Heavenly Hunyuan said.

“Hahaha...” Zhang Tie burst into laughter as he wove his hand, causing the molt and scales to fly back. He then put them into his space-teleportation item before saying, “Therefore, no matter what, now that I’ve arrived, I should not leave. Why not say it earlier? Why do you find the excuse of avenging your disciples’ murders and make me the scapegoat of the death of your knights and disciples? Now that you want to be whores, how could you preserve your honor? Don’t be that mean anymore. Is that what Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou always do? Ridiculous, ridiculous, too ridiculous, hahaha...”

All the onlooking knights were in an uproar. Many people immediately figured it out that the three sects didn’t send black invitation cards for the sake of the destructive snakes, but to have Zhang Tie involved in this battle so that the sage-level knights of the three sects could deal with Immortal Qianji aboveboard. A lot of knights’ faces turned red out of fury as they started to swear loudly in the distance...
