Castle of Black Iron

Lying on the cold ground, Zhang Tie appeared being in a deep coma; however, he was counting time inside.

After Zhang Tie drank “Soul Leave” for two hours, he saw the same dare-to-die fighter and another one coming to the courtyard of the chateau and waiting there silently. After about 10 minutes, a shadow flashed in the courtyard facing the heavy wind and rain.

Closely after that, that person displayed something to them. After the two dare-to-die fighters bowed towards him at the same time, the dare-to-die fighter at his 50’s moved forward and told him something before leaving that person into the chateau, then towards the underground facility.

In the beginning, Zhang Tie missed that person’s face as he was looking upwards. When that person walked towards this underground mountain cave, with a cracking sound, he finally presented his look to Zhang Tie.

Although he had changed his figure slightly and looked a bit short and fat in a metal mask and another disguising mask beneath, all these were transparent to Zhang Tie when he entered the mountain cave.

With lotus flower eyes, Zhang Tie could see through everything.

The skeleton and the face under the two masks along with his halos implicated that he was Zhang Taixuan.

‘The one entering this underground space is Zhang Taixuan, the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace!’

‘It’s Zhang Taixuan!’

‘He’s Zhang Taixuan!’

Zhang Tie immediately felt even colder than the rock on the ground.

He was waiting for the culprit; however, the incomer was the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace, Lan Yunxi’s father.

Although Zhang Tie remained still, he had been completely flurried and confused.

‘No! No! It should be a coincidence! Zhang Taixuan might be saving me!’

A voice roared in Zhang Tie’s heart.

However, the moment that dare-to-die fighter opened his mouth, he had shattered Zhang Tie’s mere hope mercilessly. As a result, Zhang Tie sensed the cruelty and despair in reality again.

“Master, Zhang Tie is lying there. I’ve already fed him Soul Leave at your request. Like how you judge, as long as that woman surnamed Ma was drawn to his front, he had taken it even though he knew that it was poisoned!”

“Each one has his shortcoming. Zhang Tie’s shortcoming is that he is too concerned about his family members and believes in his beloved ones too much!” Zhang Taixuan uttered a hoarse voice from below the masks, which sounded utterly different than usual. However, Zhang Tie could still identify it right away. With lotus flower eyes, Zhang Tie could even see clearly how Zhang Taixuan controlled the muscles of his vocal cords on purpose to utter such a weird tone. Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, saying, “You leave out of here. I will stay here alone for a few minutes…”

“Yes, sir!” that dare-to-die fighter replied as he exited the mountain cave and closed the metal gate.

Zhang Taixuan slowly approached Zhang Tie. He then stood still 3 m away from Zhang Tie. With weird eye light, he started to look Zhang Tie up and down seriously. After that, he took in a deep breath as he raised his hand. Zhang Tie saw Zhang Taixuan scanning over his body using that colorful fingerstall, which was giving out a dark blue light.

When that dark blue light touched Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie instantly felt that the marvelous arch door in his mind sea slightly rocked. Closely after that, an immortal hiding rune shot towards that arch door as fast as a lightning bolt before integrating with the latter. Then, the arch door became transparent as it gradually disappeared in the void of the mind sea.

Since Zhang Tie owned Castle of Black Iron, it was the most thorough times for Castle of Black Iron to hide in Zhang Tie’s mind sea. Before it, Zhang Tie didn’t even know that his hiding rune could be applied to the arch door that accessed to Castle of Black Iron.

The small tree and Castle of Black Iron must have sensed something. Therefore, they made such a reaction themselves.

Zhang Taixuan scanned over Zhang Tie’s body from his toe to his head with the dark blue light that was given out from that colorful fingerstall, including his shanks, knees, thighs, crotch, lower abdomen, chest, hands, shoulders, neck and head, only to find nothing special.

However, Zhang Taixuan didn’t abandon it as kept scanning over Zhang Tie two more times in vain.

“Has Zhang Tie really hidden the immortal item somewhere…” Zhang Taixuan muttered.

After letting out a sigh, Zhang Taixuan decisively turned around and left the mountain cave.

When that iron gate was opened again, Zhang Tie even heard Zhang Taixuan leaving words to that middle-aged man, “Keep an eye on him in case of any trouble. I will send you a message when in need!”

“Yes, sir!”

It only took Zhang Taixuan fewer than 5 minutes in here. After that, under Zhang Tie’s lotus flower eyes, he flew off the courtyard of that chateau and entered the clouds before flying southwards…

Zhang Tie had already opened his eyes as he was watching the grey rocks on the top of the mountain cave in a trance. He appeared being extremely hopeless.

Right then, When Zhang Taixuan was standing beside him, Zhang Tie was struggling hardly which state couldn’t even be described by words. He wanted to open his eyes and tear Zhang Taixuan into pieces; however, Lan Yunxi’s beautiful eyes appeared in his mind sea instead of Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Tie felt that Lan Yunxi was watching him calmly with tears and imploration in eyes.

Zhang Tie had never struggled so mentally before.

Zhang Tie was waiting for his target; however, after the target arrived, he became hesitant and finally saw the target to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Tie felt that God had played an extremely bad joke with him.

When Zhang Tie felt that no more preys would come, he saw three more people abruptly with rumbling thunders in the courtyard above the underground mountain cave…
