Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1404

Chapter 1404: 1404




"Master, Zhang Tie has left Xuanyuan Fortress this morning . . . " a disciple of Feng Yexiao passed this news to him soon after Zhang Tie left there for more than 10 minutes .

As Zhang Tie was already a pillar in Xuanyuan Fortress like a star, each of his movement would catch others' attention for sure .  

Feng Yexiao frowned . After hearing that Zhang Tie was assassinated by a heavenly demon knight yesterday, Feng Yexiao felt pretty good . Although he couldn't celebrate it apparently, he couldn't stand hiding his smile . However, after hearing that Zhang Tie came back and killed an earth spider demon knight outside Xuanyuan Fortress, Feng Yexiao felt completely disappointed . He had sworn that the heavenly demon knight was as silly as an idiot many times inside .  

Feng Yexiao didn't have a liking for Zhang Tie since they met in Earth-elements Realm . After Zhang Tie won an airboat from him, Zhang Tie had become sore in his eye .

Zhang Tie was an earth knight; Feng Yexiao was a shadow knight . Previously, Feng Yexiao could still look down upon Zhang Tie as Zhang Tie was just sore in his eyes; after Zhang Tie got the essence of sword song on the battlefield, this sore had become a rising morning star, whose brilliance ached Feng Yexiao's eyes, scorching his heart . As a result, Feng Yexiao could not look down upon him in a discomposed way anymore . . .

"Where is he going?" Feng Yexiao asked with a frown .

"He left for the east by his thunder hawk . . . "

Feng Yexiao sneered as he told his disciples, "After his substitute was assassinated by that heavenly demon knight yesterday, he has resigned as Weiji General out of fear . I've not imagined that he has left the theater of operations for the rear end out of fear soon after being a guerrilla general . It's so preposterous that such a timid guy who escaped with the onset of the large-scale war could have such a great reputation in the theater of operations . . . "



"I agree with you, master . . . "

"I agree with you, Elder Feng . . . "

"Zhang Tie is just an undeservingly honored person . . . "

Those disciples of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who had suffered a loss from Zhang Tie started to swear Zhang Tie one after another after getting the essence of Feng Yexiao's words .

In less than 1 hour, the news that Zhang Tie had left Xuanyuan Fortress for the rear end out of fear had been spread over Xuanyuan Fortress being pushed by someone malicious . . .

After hearing this news, someone held his own wrist out of concern, someone was disappointed, someone was driven mad, someone swore, someone was delighted in his discomfiture . . .

Zuoqiu Mingyue also got the news .

In the highest tower in the center of Xuanyuan Fortress, Zuoqiu Mingyue stood there with hands on his back and a slight frown as he looked at the gloomy sky in the far .



'Where's Zhang Tie?'

Zuoqiu Mingyue would never believe that Zhang Tie escaped out of fear . However, with the outset of the large-scale war, Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Fortress for the east soon after he was appointed as a guerrilla general . No wonder it arose heated discussions . . .

. . .

When many people in Xuanyuan Fortress were talking about Zhang Tie's sudden departure, the thunder hawk had already landed in a remote, lofty and towering mountain in Ningzhou Province over 1,200 miles away .  

Snowflakes were flying over the vast land of Ningzhou Province, whitening the ground . Facing strong wind and snow, Zhang Tie could barely open his eyes . Nobody else could be found within hundreds of miles of this mountainous area, except for Zhang Tie .

Zhang Tie landed on a boulder that reached out of the cliff in the mountainous area . It was a clough beneath this cliff .  In dense mist and cloud, the cliff was enshrouded by woods, making it a pretty hidden place .

There was an old vigorous pine beside the boulder . A mountain cave was right behind the boulder .

"Go back to Youzhou Province . Don't come back unless I call you . . . " Zhang Tie whispered to the thunder hawk while stroking its furry head .

After receiving Zhang Tie's order, the thunder hawk rubbed its head against Zhang Tie for a few seconds before rushing into the sky towards Youzhou Province .

As the thunder hawk only stayed here for less than 10 seconds, nobody could find that Zhang Tie had already got off his thunder hawk within hundreds of miles .  

Seeing off his thunder hawk, Zhang Tie turned around and entered the mountain cave behind him .

A faint, sweet flavor emitted from the mountain cave . However, it was definitely not from an exotic herb .

A 30 cm-thick and over-30 m-long mutated bloody boa was hibernating in the cave while emitting a faintly sweet flavor .  

After sensing someone entering the cave, the boa opened its eyes . However, the moment it looked into Zhang Tie's eyes, it had been still out of fear . After sensing a bit of Zhang Tie's looming qi, the bloody boa had felt soft all over, including its bones as if the doomsday was coming . It didn't even have the thought to resist .

It was the qi from the "Weapon" sutra in "King Roc Sutra" that Zhang Tie cultivated . Any sort of dragon or snake would be completely oppressed by this qi, whether it was a virtual image or a mutated beast, not to mention such a tiny bloody boa .

"Baby, just sleep; don't look around; I will not hurt you . However, if you see something, some animal controlling powerhouses might get some information from you . By then, I have to kill you . . . " Zhang Tie said with a smile .

Zhang Tie entered this mountain cave only for the sake of changing his clothes and look . While resting inside, he started to wait for the night .

The bloody boa seemed to have understood Zhang Tie's words as it nodded and closed its eyes .

Zhang Tie then sat down on a clean rock inside the mountain cave . With eyes closed, he took out a water element crystal as he started to absorb it .

Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Fortress only for promoting to a shadow knight .

He had to promote to a new stage of shadow knight at his utmost effort before Weishui River was completely frozen . Only by making it come true could he carry out his plan for a greater probability of success .  

He only had fewer than 7 days left . Therefore, Zhang Tie had to break through it within 7 days .

As for common knights, it was a pretty tough breakthrough; however, for Zhang Tie who had already lit 357 scales on his water chakra, he only needed 1 or 2 earth knights of demons or heavenly reaching church to accomplish this promotion . . .

As earth knights of demons and heavenly reaching church were in the west, Zhang Tie especially left the theater of operations towards the east so as to eliminate suspicion .
