Castle of Black Iron

All the elders of Iron-Dragon Sect arrived at Centralpillar Mountain, including Yan Feiqing, Guo Hongyi, Hermit Mountain Lifting, Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi.

Zhang Gui, Aurola and Zhang Su arrived there too.

However, Zhang Yang didn’t come; because when these people were setting for the South Border, Zhang Yang was setting for Heavens Fortune Sect to cultivate for 2 decades in the Dongtian of Heavens Fortune Sect. Zhang Yang had already prepared well for it. As the access of 2 decades to Dongtian was gifted to Zhang Tie by Heavens Fortune Sect, now that Zhang Tie didn’t go there, Zhang Yang would not waste the good opportunity.

After all the knights of Iron-Dragon Sect left Iron-Dragon Sect, Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and Jinwu Palace became boring; therefore, Zhang Yang took his parents and Zhang Tie’s children to Heavens Fortune Sect for visiting Zhang Chenglei by the way. Of course, these people were safe in Heavens Fortune Sect.

Zhang Tie’s wives also had a holiday these days as they appointed to travel and go shopping in Xuanyuan Hill while enjoying the prosperity over there.

Zhang Tie had a mansion in the central region of Taixia Country. With the protection of the royal prince, nobody dared find those women trouble. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn’t worry about them.

As a result, Donder was responsible for attending the entire Fiery-Dragon Bounty Territory.

When those knights of Iron-Dragon Sect, Aurola and Zhang Gui met Zhang Tie again, they were all thrilled.

Previously, Zhang Tie was coming for South Border to propose marriage to Bai Suxian; however, none of the members of Iron-Dragon Sect and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory could imagine that Zhang Tie would shock the country again and acquire the entire Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect.

That was really fantastic!

Zhang Tie was so happy to meet them as he summoned them to describe what he experienced in the Dongtian of Iron-Dragon Sect, how he cooperated with Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley, his intention to open the first floor of the Dongtian of Iron-Dragon Sect to the public and displayed the power of the two snakes around his wrist to the others. The two snakes moved as they grew into 7-8 m long boas and flew around the others before returning to his wrist.

That was too amazing. Not until the two snakes returned to Zhang Tie’s metal bracelet did everyone in the room gaze at it, including Yan Feiqing.

Before the others said something, Zhang Tie continued, “Heavens Fortune Sect, Demons-kill Valley and Jiang Clan would rent the towers of time on the second floor and the third floor of the Dongtian of Iron-Dragon Sect in the future. As compensation, they would constantly provide Devil-fire Pills, Seven Colors Pills and All-spirits Liquid to Iron-Dragon Sect. From now on, the towers of time from the 4th floor to the 7th floor would be available to Iron-Dragon Sect, 22 in total. In the following two months, all of you at present could promote to one level higher, except for me and Qing’er!”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, everyone fixated onto Zhang Tie’s face. No matter how powerful the two snakes were, it could never match their promotion in level.

“Do all of us go inside?” Yan Feiqing asked Zhang Tie as she stroked her lower abdomen by hand.

“Yes, all of us. After entering it, you could at least promote to one change realm of a sage-level knight in 2 decades, even if you couldn’t promote to a semi-sage level knight. You would grow more powerful; additionally, our baby would not be influenced!”

Watching Zhang Tie, Yan Feiqing became silent for a second as she nodded.

“As it’s in the holy war. We mostly depend on our own power. This time, the god favors Iron-Dragon Sect by gifting us such a chance to promote to a higher level. Hopefully, you all could seize it!” Zhang Tie said as he threw a glance at the others, “Now, I will talk about the distribution of towers of time. The four towers of time on the 4th floor are for me, Aurola, Elder brother Lu and Sister Lin; the five towers of time on the 5th floor are for Suxian, Hongyi, Elder brother Mountain Lifting, Zhang Su and Zhang Gui; Qing’er is on the 6th floor. After making preparations, we will enter the secluded cultivation together. We will reunite after 20 days. Given our progress, we will make a further decision on the secondary distribution. If there’s no problem with you, let’s go back to prepare and enter the Dongtian of Iron-Dragon Sect together next morning!”

“Owner, this old slave should not enter it!” Zhang Gui, who always remained silent and had no sense of existence among them, finally opened his mouth, “As the tower of time is so precious, you’d better not waste it on this old slave…”

Zhang Tie watched Zhang Gui seriously as he said, “You’re also a member of Jinwu Palace. You’ve made great contributions to Jinwu Palace. I take you as a family member. I would be pretty happy if you could promote to a shadow knight!”

Zhang Gui lowered his eyes as he shrunk his shoulders, saying in a low tone like a timid old dog, “Yes, owner, this old slave would work hard to live up to your expectation!”

After throwing a glance at all the others, Mountain Lifting Hermit said, “Now that owner has already made a decision, I will make a preparation back in the room. Let’s enter the Dongtian of Iron-Dragon Sect next morning!”

After exchanging a glance with each other, Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi also stood up and intended to leave the conference room with Mountain Lifting Hermit, followed by all the others. Aurola even threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie.

After a short while, Zhang Tie had become alone in the conference room.

Sitting on the main seat, Zhang Tie stroked his beard for a few minutes before picking himself up and leaving the conference room.

Although they all left, it didn’t mean that they didn’t want to talk anything with Zhang Tie; instead, they wanted to talk with him privately. Zhang Tie could understand them from their eyes.

There were many cabins on the airboat. Zhang Tie came to the front of Aurola’s room before knocking at it.

After Aurola opened the hatch door with a calm look, Zhang Tie entered it. Aurola then closed the door as she suddenly, tightly hugged Zhang Tie from his back and pasted her face onto Zhang Tie’s back.

Zhang Tie thought Aurola was just a bit afraid as she had to cultivate alone for 20 years after entering the tower of time tomorrow. Therefore, he comforted her, “Don’t worry, in fact, if you could concentrate on your mind, time passes by quickly in the tower of time. I’ve already prepared enough All-spirits Liquid and Seven Colors Pills for you. The combination of the two medicaments would see a better effect. You could definitely promote to a knight if you cultivate inside for 2 decades. Besides, I’ve prepared some secret books, tens of thousands of various books, an array of cosmetics, many clothes and some interesting items which could help you kill time…”

Aurola didn’t speak as she just shook his head. Zhang Tie felt that his back turned wet at a stroke…

After turning around and raising her tearful, petite face, Zhang Tie asked, “What’s wrong?”

Aurola kept shaking his head as she poured out tears heavily and watched Zhang Tie with a fascinating look, “I don’t want to be a knight; nor do I want you to be the world-renowned divine dominator. Let’s go back to Ice and Snow Wilderness. You could be the very Peter Hamplester, the very wanted murderer of mine and I could be the very Aurola again, shall we?”

Zhang Tie became stunned as he asked, “Why? Aren’t we good now?”

Aurola smiled with tearful, miserable beauty and bitterness as she replied, “These days, I would always dream about the situation where we met in Ice and Snow Wilderness. At that time, you were not a knight; nor was I the queen of Ice and Snow Wilderness. Despite lacking power and struggling in our own fates, I feel we were happiest in that period. I could stay with you every day, listen to you, watch you hunt, eat with you and share moods with you. At night, we even sit by the bonfire and watch the stars all over the sky. I felt pretty happy and full in those days. However, now, I have no idea about the meaning for me to stay with you…”

Aurola’s tears and miserable, bitter smile petrified Zhang Tie…
