Chapter 1767: Reading Memory

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

As steam was rolling in the bathtub, General Manager was lying on the jade bed while Zhang Tie was sitting in the air at the head of the bed, legs crossed, pointing at the forehead of General Manager Si by one finger.

The gestures of the two people looked strange. This scene was a bit quirky. Meanwhile, more steam suddenly rose up from the bathtub as they completely covered Zhang Tie and General Manager Si. Even if someone pushed open the door and stood at the door at this moment, they could still not see clearly what happened in the bathroom.

Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy had already covered the entire courtyard. Just now, the two maids had already been controlled by Zhang Tie by a secret method in the room next to the bathroom. Therefore, nobody would disturb Zhang Tie’s action at all.

Like what Zhang Tie had speculated, this General Manager Si indeed had been controlled by His Honor or His Majesty.

When Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy entered General Manager Si’s mind sea, he instantly discovered a complete puppet worm composed of Golden-Soul Rune Virus over there, which was as same as that of Ji Yuelan. This also proved Zhang Tie’s speculation——a senior Golden-Soul Rune Virus could also take effect in the mind sea of low-level immortal generals or immortal soldiers.

If there was a real puppet worm in the brains of General Manager Si, Zhang Tie’s soul-reading skill would be useless no matter how high Zhang Tie had reached its realm; because it indicated that the brains of General Manager Si had already died. However, the puppet worm in the mind sea of General Manager Si was simulated by runes and he was still sober-minded and even desired for women. Therefore, Zhang Tie wanted to see whether his soul-reading skill could work on people under immortal generals being affected by Golden-Soul Rune Virus or not.

The fact was that it worked.

As Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy, the life experience of General Manager Si started to flash in Zhang Tie’s mind like a three-dimensional animation. Everything about General Manager Si including his senses, memories, feelings and experience became open to Zhang Tie.

In a split second, astronomical information had been transferred to Zhang Tie’s mind from the head of General Manager Si, including faces and scenes in memories. Zhang Tie then became clear about the Dark Emperor Immortal Palace or this castle in a split second.

The nest of Si Clan in Cyan Lotus City of the Woods Medium-sized Domain was Cyan Dragon Palace.

General Manager Si didn’t know who was “His Majesty” of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. He only knew about the existence of this person. However, General Manager Si was very familiar with “His Honor” who ruled Cyan Dragon Palace because “His Honor” was Si Dan the father of Si Hongen the incumbent head of Si Clan. In Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Si Dan’s official title was His Honor Cyan Dragon.

Si Dan the His Honor Cyan Dragon had already promoted to a sage-level knight. However, Si Clan didn’t expose it to the public. In the official announcements that Si Clan made to the public over these years, Si Dan was described as a wind immortal general who liked to travel across the world freely without a fixed residence. He always wanted to explore the secrets in Mountain Ruins so as to glorify the ancestors of Si Clan. Across the Woods Medium-sized Domain, nobody knew that the father of Si Hongen had already promoted to a supreme immortal general.

All the people surnamed Si across Woods Medium-sized Domain belonged to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. The young generation of Si Clan might not know the relationship between Si Clan and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace; however, all the immortal generals in Si Clan were clear about that. Many loyal servants of Si Clan also knew that although they were not immortal generals. Those who didn’t know the truth for the time being had been dispatched to places far away from Cyan Lotus City under secret observation. As long as there were good opportunities, they would be called back to join Dark Emperor Immortal Palace officially.

Over these years, the captives of Yin-Yang Sect were not the only batch of immortal generals being abducted and brought here. In the past, many immortal generals had been locked in the dungeon of Si Clan, male or female, old or young.

A few years ago, “His Majesty” even requested Cyan Dragon Palace to send him a batch of alive immortal generals to him for each period of time. “His Majesty” seemed to be making experiments with these live immortal generals.

Consecutively for a few years, hundreds of immortal generals had been abducted by Si Clan, most of them were humans, including immortal generals who left the territories of their own immortal palaces for cultivation, immortal generals who came from clans or small sects and independent immortal generals. Most of these captives probably had already died.

Motian Realm was full of complex forces and immortal generals. Humans and demons were fighting each other which would usually cause casualties. Additionally, many immortal generals’ whereabouts were quirky. Besides, some immortal generals always entered secluded cultivation for a long period of time. Due to such a complex situation, nobody could count how many immortal generals would disappear each year. Therefore, Si Clan won an opportunity to abduct immortal generals.

Some immortal generals were independent who would not be discovered even if they died. Even if some immortal generals were found missing, nobody would link it with Si Clan; instead, they would think those immortal generals who had disappeared might have been killed by demons or were in dangerous places in Motian Realm.

Over these years, Si Clan had been doing such a job smoothly. Superficially, Si Clan was a major clan in the Woods Medium-sized Domain. In fact, Woods Medium-sized Domain was like a gang’s base. Besides immortal generals, they even abducted people under immortal generals from many clans, business groups and small sects. After taking them here, they would use various means such as coercion, intimidation, lure by the promise of gain, murder, eradication of weeds and roots, fostering puppets and seizing the others’ territories. As a result, Si Clan realized a crazy expansion in Woods Medium-sized Domain and among some medium-sized and small domains and regions near Woods Medium-sized Domain. The hidden force of Si Clan was dozens of times greater than that it exposed to the public.

As the representative force of Cyan Dragon Palace, a branch of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, the real territory of Cyan Dragon Palace under the control of Si Clan had long caught up with that of the supreme immortal palace.

Especially in the late half a year, as “His Majesty” developed a new Golden-Soul Rune Virus, more and more immortal generals were abducted by Si Clan and Cyan Dragon Palace. After making the sacred sacrifice for these captives and turning all of them into the followers of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, the overall strength of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace would expand sharply.

As of now, Cyan Dragon Palace had already controlled over 600 immortal generals…

General Manager Si indeed knew a lot of secrets. Although he was not qualified to touch the most confidential information of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, as he was born in Si Clan with exceptional ability and deeply won the favor of His Honor Cyan Dragon, General Manager Si could almost see through everything in Cyan Dragon Palace. What he knew about Cyan Dragon Palace and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace shocked Zhang Tie too much.

Cyan Dragon Palace was not the only branch of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. General Manager Si once heard from His Honor Cyan Dragon that the entire Dark Emperor Immortal Palace was composed of Cyan Dragon Palace, White Tiger Palace, Rosefinch Palace and Tortoisnake 1 Palace, which were respectively in east, west, south and north with equal power…
