Castle of Black Iron

“Is that speaker Mr. Plum?” Zhang Tie whispered to Bai Suxian.

“Yes, he’s the old freak plum!”

After receiving Bai Suxian’s confirmation, Zhang Tie nodded inside as he started to admire four sage freaks more or less.

Besides being resolute, the old freak plum’s words were most effective in destroying one’s mental defense. Although the opponents were overwhelming in quantity, in fact, they just appeared so due to the temporary combination. At such a life-or-death moment, each of them would only consider themselves. In one word, they definitely lacked cohesiveness like sands. As a result, the old freak plum’s words made these selfish and vile people hesitate.

What a wise man!

According to the old freak plum’s words, the three people didn’t scramble for entering the tower; instead, they allowed the old freak bamboo to enter it while guarding at the entrance. That exemplified the meaning of friendship.

As they had wisdom, friendship and braveness, Zhang Tie started to admire the four people at a stroke.

“Don’t believe him. If we fight them together, the three of them could never defeat us. When they hand in what they’ve acquired here, we’ll share it lest of coming here for nothing!” Qi Tianhao shouted among the crowd again.

“Yes, we outnumber them absolutely. We don’t have a concern…”

“It’s said that four sage freaks have discovered thousands of element crystals and some space-teleportation equipment on the sacrificial altar…”

Being instigated, some hesitant ones started wriggling again.

Right then, an earth knight in half-body outfit said in an overwhelming way, “A flock of wastes is dreaming about scrambling for the tower of time and treasure of Great Wilderness Sect? That’s ridiculous. As long as you three join in Heavens Holding Pavilion now, I guarantee that nobody here dares do any harm to you…”

After he finished his words, he became silent at once. Only after a few seconds, another younger yet aggressive earth knight who was always watching him silently aside revealed derision, “You Heavens Holding Pavilion is really good at doing business. After four sage freaks join you, all their achievements would belong to you. Even the tower of time would also belong to Heavens Holding Pavilion in the future. What a scheme!”

“Who’re you?” that knight from Heavens Holding Pavilion asked distantly.

“Fang Tongzhen from Demons-kill Valley!”

“You Demons-kill Valley also intends to join the competition?” the knight from Heavens Holding Pavilion said as his voice turned cold.

“Hahaha, no crap! The owner of this place was Great Wilderness Sect. After Great Wilderness Sect was exterminated, this place will belong to nobody. According to the rules among knights, anyone would get it as long as they could. Now that Heavens Holding Pavilion could come, why couldn’t Demons-kill Valley? We, Demons-kill Valley, are not as hypocritical as you Heavens Holding Pavilion!” Fang Tongzhen said in an acrid tongue with a sneer. Closely after that, he told the old freak plum, “We, Demons-kill Valley, are always straightforward; we prefer to be evil than being hypocritical. We don’t compel you to join in Demons-kill Valley. As long as you agree, we could make a trade. Hand those b*stards who want to kill you for your achievements. Demons-kill Valley could guarantee that nobody here dares to hurt you. As repayment, the access of this tower of time would be shared between you and Demons-kill Valley, 50/50. If you don’t plan to use it, you could exchange your access of this tower of time for element crystals, secret knowledge, pills, cities and land, as much as you wish…”

The condition of Demons-kill Valley was absolutely much better than that provided by Heavens Holding Pavilion. At least four sage freaks could remain free as they still had half of the access of the tower of time.

Certainly, after hearing his suggestion, the three people of four sage freaks exchanged a glance with each other as if they had been moved by this condition. At least, they were not inimical about it.

Zhang Tie was also attracted by the argument between the representatives of Heavens Holding Pavilion and Demons-kill Valley, each of which was a member of top six sects. Therefore, Zhang Tie fixated onto Bai Runshan.

“South Border is the survival training fields of Heavens Holding Pavilion and Demons-kill Valley. Over the past hundreds of years, the two sects always had conflicts and skirmishes in scrambling for training resources or rarities. It’s said that the disciples of the two sects almost fought to death for a 1,000-year-old 9-leaf glossy Ganoderma in South Border. After those disciples who participated in survival training here became the pillars of their own sects, the two sects’ relationship would not be good for sure. As long as it’s not a duel, the two sects would always pretend to be blind about it. Even the other four of the top six sects had mutual contradictions instead of being kind to each other!” Bai Runshan told Zhang Tie secretly using battle qi as he noticed Zhang Tie’s doubt.

‘Really?’ Zhang Tie nodded inside. At the same time, Zhang Tie’s heart raced——given the poor relationship between Demons-kill Valley and Heavens Holding Pavilion, if one of them joined Imperial Alliance, the other one would probably not join it or neither of them would join it.

By contrast, even though Pandora was excluded, Demons-kill Valley’s manner won Zhang Tie’s admiration.

However, when he saw the expression of the three of the four sage freaks again, he heaved a sigh inside, ‘In this world, when small figures’ treasures are discovered by big powers, they might suffer from similar results, be plundered or shared with a price. That’s small figures’ sadness. Even knights couldn’t avoid facing such a fate. Even I was screwed because of Castle of Black Iron.’

When Zhang Tie recalled his own experience, he understood the feelings of four sage freaks as he opened his mouth forthrightly, “Brother Fang, albeit being outright, no need to be that mean. Now that we’re in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, there must be more than one tower of time. We should be only in the vicinity of the Dongtian. There should be some more inside. We could look for it with our own ability. As it’s the four sage freaks who discovered this place first, they deserve to have it. Without their help, we couldn’t even have a chance to find this place. It’s advisable that we don’t make them too embarrassed. Why not be a bit more generous?”

Zhang Tie’s words aroused the others’ attention at once as the others wondered who dared be the mediator for the top six sects…
