Chapter 1858: Entering Heavenly Wind

Although he had not got any evidence about the connection between the events in Woods Medium-sized Domain, Dark Valley and Versatile Demon Emperor, Zhang Tie strongly felt that Versatile Demon Emperor and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were on the back of the two events.

Previously, Woods Medium-sized Domain was the sphere of influence of Cyan Dragon Palace of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. There were more stories about Dark Valley. Versatile Demon Emperor had spent a lot on the two regions. Given the periods of time that the events happened in the two regions, they were closely after Versatile Demon Emperor’s failure outside Emperor NvWa City and Zhang Tie’s disappearance.

Would Versatile Demon Emperor continue to stay outside Emperor NvWa City after losing his target? Of course, he might continue to stay there. However, he probably would leave Emperor NvWa City rapidly and start his actions in Woods Medium-sized Domain and Dark Valley, which was exactly what a superpower would do in this case. Now that he was unsuccessful in the plan of killing Zhang Tie outside Emperor NvWa City, as a superpower, Versatile Demon Emperor preferred to carry forward the next action as soon as possible instead of wasting time.

Big figures’ time was very precious. No matter how threatening was Zhang Tie to demons, Versatile Demon Emperor would not continue to waste time after losing his target.

As for what had happened in Woods Medium-sized Domain, even though Versatile Demon Emperor and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were on its back, in the final analysis, it was the outcome of the long-term conflicts between emperor-level immortal palaces and supreme immortal generals’ immortal palaces. If there were no such conflicts between these immortal palaces in Motian Realm, Versatile Demon Emperor could never instigate such major events easily no matter how powerful he was.

What did Versatile Demon Emperor want to do? Did he only want to instigate internal frictions and turmoils among humans?

Zhang Tie always felt it was not that simple. However, he couldn’t figure out the real purpose of Versatile Demon Emperor for doing these. Even so, due to Versatile Demon Emperor’s terrifying, unprecedented tricks, Zhang Tie still felt a great threat from him.

Versatile Demon Emperor had already known that Zhang Tie came from another world and pretended to be dragon emperor. However, Versatile Demon Emperor didn’t expose it to the public. It was like a stone suspending above Zhang Tie and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. As Zhang Tie had escaped away, he would not be hurt by that stone anymore. Even though Versatile Demon Emperor exposed Zhang Tie’s real identity, he could not hurt Zhang Tie even a bit. Whereas, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was still there. After two traitors were discovered among the elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Versatile Demon Emperor was crystal clear of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace’s power. In this situation, why didn’t Versatile Demon Emperor expose the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and attack it?

After Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu betrayed Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, their lackeys in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were cleaned up. As a result, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was heavily inflicted. Given the overall battle force of the powers in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, excluding Zhang Tie, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was even weaker than that before Zhang Tie joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. The others might not know it; however, Versatile Demon Emperor must be crystal clear about it.

Even so, Versatile Demon Emperor still didn’t attack Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Therefore, the reason was worth pondering.

No matter what, even though Zhang Tie didn’t know what Versatile Demon Emperor was going to do, he was sure that Versatile Demon Emperor would never treat Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace well.

Since the center of Mountain Ruins was going to open, Motian Realm had started to be chaotic. In order to respond to the possible threats, through considerations, Zhang Tie delivered three orders to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace through Qianji Agency.

Firstly, speed up the site selection and construction of many auxiliary production bases of Dragon Emperor Medicament in Dragon Emperor Big Domain. As long as Cloudriver Valley was damaged, the other production bases could be put into production at any time. At the same time, contact Emperor NvWa Palace as soon as possible and try to build a production base of Dragon Emperor Medicament inside Emperor NvWa City. Later on, the Dragon Emperor Medicament being sold to Emperor NvWa Palace would be produced in Emperor NvWa City. Within a short period of time, all the capacity of production of Dragon Emperor Medicament could even be transferred to Emperor NvWa City. After the production base in Emperor NvWa City was completed, 2 of the 5 elders and some immortal generals in Earthly Treasures Department could stay in Emperor NvWa City for long on duty like that in Qianji Agency, who would be responsible for the management of the production of Dragon Emperor Medicament.

Secondly, from that day on, the 5 elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t need to appear in the same place or gather together if not necessary. Additionally, the duty system of the elders in Qianji Agency should also be slightly adjusted. From that day on, only one elder was required to stay in Qianji Agency for one time. All the others should find some safe places to cultivate secretly outside Dragon Emperor City.

Thirdly, Zhang Tie asked Dragon Teeth Army to shorten the reaction time. Additionally, Zhang Tie forbade the heads and directors of the branches of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Big Domain to convene their subordinate immortal generals in a large scale without the order from Dragon Emperor City. Earthly Treasures Department, Supervision Department, Personnel Department, Heavenly Craftsmanship Department and Military Department which worked in the Forbidden City separated again. Besides Qianji Agency which continued to work in Dragon Emperor City, all the five departments should move out of Forbidden City as soon as possible and find another city as their station respectively…

Zhang Tie’s three orders were very unusual. Apparently, he wanted to break up the complete battle readiness and top powers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace into parts. Such an arrangement was only suited to unfavorable situations when Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace faced a powerful enemy and was in passive defense.

Zhang Tie didn’t explain too much about his decisions. After delivering his orders to the elder in Qianji Agency, he contacted Huang Baimei and the other elders respectively and asked them to follow his requirement. After doing that, he cut off the contact with Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Later on, as long as the elders and powers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were not caught together, even if there was some loss and his real identity was exposed to the public by Versatile Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could continue to survive on with stable element crystals from selling Dragon Emperor Medicament.

After doing that, Zhang Tie heaved a deep sigh in relief.

After arranging the future of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie could finally focus on promoting to a semi-level sage knight.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed…

Zhang Tie’s resilience was superb. As long as he got enough water and food, he could recover in the shortest period of time, not to mention that he drank some Dragon Emperor medicament that was brewed in Castle of Black Iron. By the evening of the 15th day of this month, Zhang Tie, sitting with crossed legs in the air, had opened his eyes at a stroke. As a shrewd light flashed across his eyes, he stood up and stretched himself as he watched the Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer in front of him.

In the evening, red and blue lights flashed by inside Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer, making it more brilliant. Being reflected by the colorful lights, Cui Li’s bald head became a neon…

After feeling that Zhang Tie was awake, Immortal Being in Clouds also opened his eyes as he watched Zhang Tie with a confused look.

“Let’s go!” Zhang Tie suggested.

“Ah? Now?” Immortal Being in Clouds asked while blinking his eyes.

“Of course!”

“But I’ve not completely recovered. Won’t it be better if we enter it tomorrow…”

“Let’s enter Mountain Ruins now. Even if some demons are ambushing there, they won’t believe that someone entered Mountain Ruins today. Additionally, you could stay by my side. I will block off the greater part of Ice and Fire heavenly wind for you. Therefore, it won’t cost you too much energy…” Zhang Tie said in a domineering way.

“But…”

Zhang Tie then burst out laughing and broke into the azure blue zone at the bottom of Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer as fast as a lightning bolt before receiving Immortal Being in Cloud’s response. With a deep frown, Immortal Being in Cloud hurriedly followed him in.

Zhang Tie still remembered how he entered Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer last time: his flight ability of divine dominator became ineffective for the first time. Besides, the high-speed wind elements as dense as mercury prevented him from extending his spiritual energy. Therefore, the moment he entered Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer, he had lost the control of his own body like a leaf in a hurricane.

The fact proved that only wind could be accepted by the wind!

This time, it was much better when Zhang Tie entered it with the ability of his wind chakra.

With the drive of wind chakra, Zhang Tie instantly rushed into the blue torrent like a motorboat being installed with a powerful engine…

At the same time, dozens of blue icicles started to cut and hit Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi at a terrifying, high speed like flying sabers. Their destructive power and penetrating power were definitely not weaker than that of a heavenly knight’s strike.

Soon after these flying sabers disappeared, tens of thousands of sharp icy sands had appeared beside Zhang Tie. Like how raindrops hit a palm tree leaf, they caused dense cracks on Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi…

“Wait for me…” Immortal Being in Cloud shouted behind him. Zhang Tie slowed down a bit as the latter caught up with him at once…

The wind elements in Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer flew directionally. Therefore, those icicles and icy sands also attacked them directionally. When Zhang Tie entered it, all the strikes came from Zhang Tie’s right side. Therefore, Immortal Being in Cloud instantly came to Zhang Tie’s left side and march forward with Zhang Tie side by side. Zhang Tie’s huge body and outflowing protective battle qi immediately blocked off over 80% of Heavenly Wind like an irresistible wall…
