Castle of Black Iron

Watching the small needle which was pointing at him, Zhang Tie thought it was a coincidence at the beginning. However, when he moved it a bit farther, he found the needle was still pointing at him. After changing another two directions, he found the needle was still pointing at him.

‘Motherf*cker!’ Zhang Tie swore inside.

At the same time, Zhang Tie’s face turned black as he gave that thing to Heller, asking, “What’s this?”

After taking that item, Heller replied, “According to my analysis, I found it could sense your existence within 25,000 m…”

“You mean I was discovered by others because of this when I left Emperor NvWa City?” Zhang Tie asked in an unbelievable way as he widely opened his eyes.

“Yes!” Heller answered as he nodded, “Castle Lord, when you left the city gate, as long as someone was near this thing, they would be able to position and discover you!”

“Impossible!”

“Castle Lord, have you forgotten about the effect of your tracing feather?” Heller asked. After receiving no response, Heller added, “Castle Lord, your tracing feathers could sense the whereabouts of your targets within 600 miles. Therefore, it’s not strange for this item to sense your whereabouts within more than 20,000 m!”

“I mean did they make it?”

“Castle Lord, look at this drop of blood in the crystal stone…” Heller said as he pointed at the drop of blood inside the crystal stone, “This drop of blood is actually yours…”

“How could it be mine?” Zhang Tie asked. However, before Heller answered, he had understood it. ‘It must be Versatile Demon Emperor. When I fought Versatile Demon Emperor, I lost almost a barrel of blood in his realm. Only Versatile Demon Emperor could get my blood.’

‘Those dense runes in this item are also consistent with the style of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. It means that it was made by Versatile Demon Emperor.’

‘When he found that I went to Tigerback Mountain for medical treatment, Versatile Demon Emperor must have made a lot of items like this. After that, he had people deliver them to his subordinates using the network of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and told them to stay at the gates of Emperor NvWa City. When I left Emperor NvWa City, this item would sense my whereabouts at once; then those agents outside the gates of Emperor NvWa City would deliver the intelligence to their superiors. After receiving the intelligence, Versatile Demon Emperor would go there to kill me as fast as he could.’

Only in this way could it be explained.

Previously, Zhang Tie even wanted to trap Versatile Demon Emperor and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. But after what happened today, Zhang Tie started to feel the craftiness of Versatile Demon Emperor. Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to play tricks with Versatile Demon Emperor; unexpectedly, he was almost killed by Versatile Demon Emperor.

If this item could really sense my whereabouts, it would be difficult for me to move in Motian Realm in the future.

Feeling a bit cold, Zhang Tie swallowed his saliva as he looked at Heller, asking, “You mean this item could completely position me through my blood?”

“Not exactly!” Heller shook his head under Zhang Tie’s gaze, “Through my analysis, I found that the drop of blood inside this item was just an indirect media. What counts most inside it is these runes. Castle Lord, did you see this little red needle? It’s made of a very special material which doesn’t exist in Taixia Country at all. It was very sensitive to the energy inside people’s surging points. It cannot position you only through this drop of blood; instead, it has to depend on the energy of the surging points on your spine!”

Heller’s explanation sounded a bit incomprehensible. After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie asked Heller solemnly, “You mean this drop of blood only meets one condition for discovering me. The other condition is that the energy in the surging points on my spine is not congenital. Only by meeting the two conditions could it discover me.”

“Exactly!” Heller nodded as he added, “Given its structure and design, based on the expertise of Versatile Demon Emperor in runes, if he could constantly acquire your fresh blood, he would absolutely make an item which would sense your whereabouts from tens of thousands of meters away or farther. Pitifully, Versatile Demon Emperor couldn’t acquire your fresh blood at any time. Even if he acquired it, it would only be available for 1 week. One week later, the blood that leaves your body will lose its precious activity and energy. Therefore, the item will lose its effect…”

Blinking his eyes, Zhang Tie said, “Therefore, he made this kind of items. Although it couldn’t discover me directly through my blood, it could also sense the special energy inside my surging points on my spine through my blood and help him discover my whereabouts.”

“Correct!” Heller replied as he nodded, “Additionally, this item is available for a long time. As long as the drop of blood inside it is not completely used up by those runes and this small needle, it could even be available for more than one decade…”

“If so, will it continue to sense my whereabouts after I take those soul-washing pills?” Zhang Tie hurriedly asked out of concern.

“If soul-washing pills could really be as effective as it was described by Bian Heng, after you take those soul-washing pills, this little item will not be able to sense your whereabouts anymore, Castle Lord…” Heller said affirmatively.

“If these soul-washing pills didn’t work, I would go back to Tigerback Mountain to ask Bian Heng to make effective ones for me…” After hearing Heller’s words, Zhang Tie totally figured out Versatile Demon Emperor’s tricks. Therefore, he finally became reassured. Although it was risky today, the adventure was worthwhile. “When I step out again, I will see how they look for me around the world with this item…” Zhang Tie said as he burst out laughter…

“Castle Lord, this small item could indeed cover you…” Heller said with a smile, “Castle Lord, I really admire your bravery!”

“I’ve not imagined that Versatile Demon Emperor could play such a trick. But now that we’ve checked it out, I will be reassured in the future…” Zhang Tie said. Then, he suddenly thought up something as he answered, “Oh, what about those people that I’ve just sent inside?”

“I’ve already dropped them into the dungeon. As for those who were heavily injured, I’ve already dealt with their wounds in case they were dead. They’re very stubborn. If you want to get some information from them, you have to wait for a few more days…”

“It’s fine. Step by step. I’m afraid that they’re just trivial roles being used as cannon fodder. I don’t think they knew who I was; nor did they know that it was Versatile Demon Emperor who arrived there after receiving their intelligence. In the final analysis, they were just made use of!” Zhang Tie said casually as he waved his hand. At the same time, he walked towards the small tree. After waiting for half a month, he could finally enjoy fruits…
