Chapter 1729: A Piece of News

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Yangxin Palace was on the west of the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the internal court of Forbidden City. It was just a few minutes of walk from Jiaotai Palace to Yangxin Palace.

When Zhang Tie arrived at Yangxin Palace, he saw five immortal generals of Emperor NvWa Palace waiting for him outside Yangxin Palace. Beside the five immortal generals, there were five 1 m high metal safes. There was a special rune on each safe which could isolate from spiritual inspection. They could not be opened without special keys. Watching the five eye-catching metal cabinets, most of the people were curious about the treasures inside. None of them could imagine that each container had a live demon knight.

With lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could penetrate through the shells of the metal safes spiritually and see the five demon knights inside immediately.

Two of the five demon knights were shadow wing demon knights, two were iron-armored shadow knights and one spider demon shadow knight which was the most miserable one among the five demon knights. Because of too many legs and its large body, all the limbs of that spider demon knight had been chopped off. It was caged in the metal cabinet in the form of a meatball.

All the five demon knights were restrained and couldn’t move. Despite being completely subdued, they were still alive.

Watching the five gifts, Zhang Tie felt like promoting to 8 change realm of shadow knight right away as he felt pretty happy.

“Let these people carry the 5 iron cabinets to the entrance of my underground back room in Jiaotai Palace. I will deal with it myself...”

After receiving Zhang Tie’s order, Leng Manxue nodded. Without asking Zhang Tie what were inside, Leng Manxue directly had some immortal generals, which were guarding Yangxin Palace outside the gate move away the 5 cabinets.

Each cabinet weighed 700-800 kg, which was not a heavy weight for immortal generals. Each of the five immortal generals then carried one cabinet away.

Zhang Tie then entered the main hall of Yangxin Palace alone.

Yangxin Palace was not the leading palace in the internal court because it was too small. Its main hall was only 36 m in width and 12 m in depth. The richly ornamented structure across Yangxin Palace was also gorgeous. If not deal with important affairs in Dragon Emperor Palace, Zhang Tie would receive foreign guests here.

“Your Majesty...” Wu Qiankun remained as same as that a few months ago. When Zhang Tie entered the main hall, he found Wu Qiankun was already bowing towards him with reverence inside there.

“Take a seat. Don’t be so polite. I was in secluded cultivation in Jiaotai Palace these days. When I was told that you’re here, I just came out of there...” Zhang Tie said with a smile as he walked towards the main seat and sat down.

“Your Majesty, your diligence is really admirable!” Wu Qiankun flattered Zhang Tie as he sat down on his own seat.

Since Zhang Tie ascended to the throne of Dragon Emperor, he had been diligent in both Dragon Emperor Pavilion and the Forbidden City. He barely entertained himself. Although he had some trusted female immortal generals, everyone across Dragon Emperor City knew that His Majesty always remained restrained and didn’t have any love affairs with those female immortal generals; especially in Forbidden City. Wu Qiankun was not lying.

“In Motian Realm, there’re too many powerhouses. As the Mountain Ruins is going to open soon, the large-scale war between humans and demons will break out. It’s pretty chaotic in Motian Realm now. If I don’t spend more time in cultivation, the old man would be made at me...” Zhang Tie joked.

“Yup, Motian Realm is not peaceful now. It’s full of restless hidden forces. The scale of the war between humans and demons is expanding while more and more immortal human palaces and demon palaces are involved in. Besides Nine Heavens Big Domain, there’re also some abnormal responses over Dark Valley. Recently, more and more human and demon powerhouses head for Dark Valley. Otherwise, Star Emperor Immortal Palace would not have such a good opportunity to complete this trade smoothly!” Wu Qiankun talked with Zhang Tie secretly using his battle qi.

Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Emperor NvWa Palace as the middleman were all very meticulous about this trade. They all kept it as a top secret.

Of course, Zhang Tie didn’t hope that the fact that he needed alive demon knights was exposed to the public. Even though the Purgatory Samsara Method had not ever been discovered in Motian Realm, if more and more people knew about this trade, unavoidably, someone would guess something. It was better to keep secret than to expose his trump card.

Of course, Star Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t want anyone else to know that it had sought for a peaceful settlement with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; otherwise, Star Emperor Immortal Palace’s reputation would be destroyed. Additionally, if the “dirty job” made by Star Emperor Immortal Palace was known by demons, unavoidably, demons would avenge Star Emperor Immortal Palace.

Therefore, this trade was carried out pretty confidentially. Within Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, nobody else knew about this trade except for Zhang Tie. On the side of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, only very few high-level immortal generals knew about it. Emperor NvWa Palace dispatched Wu Qiankun to mediate the event in the whole process. No matter what, given Emperor NvWa Palace’s neutral stance, it would not arouse any suspicion for Emperor NvWa’s Palace to contact each party.

After hearing Wu Qiankun’s words, Zhang Tie raised his eyebrows as he asked straightforwardly, “Oh, I remember that Nine Heavens Big Domain was indeed not peaceful when Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace left there. As the entire Nine Heavens Big Domain was mixed with humans and demons, it’s not strange for it to be unpeaceful over there. But what’s the matter with Dark Valley?”

“Your Majesty, do you know that there were four emperor-level immortal palaces among humans 300 years ago. At that time, besides Star Emperor Immortal Palace, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Force Emperor Immortal Palace, there was a Rune Emperor Immortal Palace whose secret skill of runes ranked first in Motian Realm...”

“I know. Rune Emperor might have lost his life in Dark Valley!” Zhang Tie replied after thinking for a second. He remembered that Ji Yuelan once told him that Rune Emperor might be killed by the big battle formation of demons over there. Whereas, as it happened hundreds of years ago, Zhang Tie was not interested in it too much.

“Yes. Although Rune Emperor has died; it’s said that Rune Emperor’s portableTadpole Runes Sutra and a set of emperor-level immortal outfit didn’t fall in the hand of demons; instead, they disappeared in Dark Valley before his death. A few days ago, it’s said that someone saw the trace of the virtual object of his immortal outfit in Dark Valey. Therefore, a lot of human and demon powerhouses are pouring into Dark Valley these days...”

‘ Tadpole Runes Sutra ? Emperor-level immortal outfit?’ Although Zhang Tie had not seen them, he knew they were something great given their names...
