Castle of Black Iron

The airboat penetrated through leisure white clouds and flew over ranges for eight days incessantly before arriving at South Border of Taixia Country, traversing hundreds of thousands of miles.

After arriving at South Border, they spent two more days in arriving at the ruling center of South Border. Zhang Tie finally knew how vast was the territory of the South Border.

South Border was famous for its numerous mountains. Zhang Tie saw long lasting, undulating ranges across the territory of South Border like endless billows in an ocean.

Some of those mountain ranges were magnificent and as high as the clouds. Additionally, these mountains were crisscrossed with rivers, deep valleys, grotesque karst caves and underground spaces. Dense woods could be seen everywhere. Many places were cloaked by rosy clouds and bizarre mists all the year round. Some mists were colorful and brilliant, which were actually poisonous miasma due to various reasons. Across the South Border, there were as many as 17 poisonous miasmas. In addition, there were countless rare beasts and materials among the multitude of mountains. In one word, the entire South Border was the largest, natural treasury.

There were too many big mountains and less flat ground in South Border. All the cities in South Border were built in basins girdled by magnificent mountains. Basins were called Bazi here. There were tens of millions of Bazi in South Border, which ranged from dozens of miles to hundreds of miles in size. The megalopolis of South Border was adorned by many a Bazis, large or small, among the countless mountains.

Some Bazis were close to each other with large populations and fewer obstacles, which could be linked by highway or railway. By contrast, some Bazis were surrounded by lofty mountains, which could only communicate with the outside world by airship.

Most of Hua people lived in those Bazis.

However, the main race living in South Border was not Hua people, but barbarians who lived in the countless mountains generations after generations. Although over 10 billion Hua people were living in South Border, the population of barbarians in South Border multiplied that figure.

Barbarians in South Border were ferocious and valiant, who excelled at using poisons and driving fierce beasts and insects with mantras. Superficially, these barbarians subdue themselves to Taixia Country; in fact, they had their own systems, including totem, culture and cultivation inheritance. There were too many recalcitrant barbarians, most of which were living in the mountains, where Hua people could barely access to. Of course, Hua people couldn’t manage and rule them effectively. One principal task for Lord Guangnan was to maintain the stability of the South Border. The conflicts between Lord Guangnan’s Mansion and those unruly barbarian tribes had been ongoing since its establishment.

Zhang Tie gained this information of South Border from Bai Suxian during these days on airboat every once in a while; because Zhang Tie was really “busy” these days…

These days, Bai Suxian had turned herself into an enchantress. As a result, Zhang Tie experienced the living style of a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler——spirits and sexy beauties. In fact, Zhang Tie almost had not left that brilliant room since he boarded the airboat. Begin with the second day, Bai Suxian had started to call in her maids one after another. The enthralling scenery was really forbidden for children.

Not until two hours before they arrived at Immortalwood Plains, the ruling center of South Border, Zhang Tie was still lying in a bathtub shrouded with steam vapor. Drinking spirits, he was enjoying the arbitrary service of Bai Suxian and some of her maids.

Not until one hour before they arrived did Zhang Tie end up his dissolute travel. After cleaning up himself, he changed a set of clothes. After that, he prepared to get off the airboat with Bai Suxian who had changed a wholly new set of a ceremonial robe, especially for a princess.

“Lord, which do you think will serve you better, this vassal and my apprentices or Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi?” Bai Suxian turned around as she licked her lip and whispered to Zhang Tie at the front of the hatch door when the airboat was slowly descending.

Of course, Bai Suxian’s apprentices referred to those beautiful maids on her side!

Females were really good at contending. Zhang Tie glared at her before patting her plump butt as he muttered inside, ‘What an enchantress! Always being unruly when staying with me alone.’ “Are you serious?”

Bai Suxian turned around with a big, enchanting smile as she answered, “Of course, when lord goes back home and have Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi serve you on bed, don’t forget to call this vassal. This vassal will check whether their service could match half of mine…”

After the airboat parked, the hatch door slowly opened. Bai Suxian immediately turned decent as she smoothened her skirt and put her hands in front of her lower abdomen with a smile in a pretty grand manner.

After finding that Bai Suxian changed completely at a stroke, Zhang Tie became speechless.

No sooner had the hatch door been opened than Zhang Tie saw Bai Zhengnan.

Bursting into laughter, Bai Zhengnan extended his arms and walked forward, saying, “Younger brother Mushen, long time no see. When I left Youzhou Province last time, you had just finished your rotating charka ceremony as an earth knight. I’ve not imagined that Younger Brother Mushen has already promoted to a shadow knight and been well known across the world due to the battle at the bank of Weishui River. That’s really cool! You should have the trump card as a divine dominator. Why not let me know lest my concern…”

“Hahaha, Brother Bai, forgive me. Trump card is to be covered; otherwise, it would not work anymore…” Zhang Tie said and burst into laughter as he got off the airboat and gave a fervent hug to Bai Zhengnan.

At the same time, Zhang Tie looked around as he found the airport outside the city had been surrounded by soldiers of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, 3-5 meters in between.

Some black vehicles parked aside. Additionally, a man who looked similar to Bai Zhengnan in long, blue gown and glasses was standing aside and observing Zhang Tie as if he was a prehistorical animal.

Zhang Tie at his 30s still looked like a 17-18 years old teenager in the neighborhood, which was really unbelievable…
