Castle of Black Iron

When Zhang Tie was flying towards Dragonsea City, Dragonsea City or Blackblood City was as same as usual. Nobody had felt that a fierce battle god was coming.

Blackblood Alliance had been renamed as Blackblood Immortal Palace; however, the members of Blackblood Alliance maintained their temperaments as bandits. Previously, Blackblood Alliance occupied Brokenstars Sea where Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Star Emperor immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t care. With Two Blackblood Sages on their back, Blackblood Alliance tyrannically abused their power in Brokenstars Sea and took in many fearless bandits. They set passes there and formed a local force. Almost nobody dared offend them. Even ordinary immortal palaces didn’t want to clash against them.

A few years ago, as Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was heavily damaged and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were causing turmoils in Motian Realm, Blackblood Alliance invaded Dragon Emperor Big Domain under the leaderships of Two Blackblood Sages. After defeating the garrisons of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they instantly occupied a large area of land and over 100 cities in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain. As a result, Blackblood Alliance promoted to Blackblood Immortal Palace.

In the beginning, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace assigned Dragon Teeth Army and powerhouses to suppress the alien force. Pitifully, before the army of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace arrived, more and more forces and immortal palaces had started to invade Dragon Emperor Big Domain while widely opening their bloody mouths and exposing their fangs. As a result, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could barely cope with them and gradually became weak due to great losses. After a few years, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn’t even preserve itself facing so many hungry wolves and tigers. They were unable to make effective counterattacks to Blackblood Alliance which had two supreme-level immortal generals and take back their land and cities anymore. As a result, Blackblood Alliance became more blatant and unscrupulous in the land and cities of Dragon Emperor Big Domain where they occupied.

In the cities that they occupied, those fearless bandits of Blackblood Alliance had intruded the mansions and assets of influential clans. Those lucky rich people had been driven away naked and became poor overnight. As for those unfortunate rich people, the immortal generals of Blackblood Alliance directly killed those men and became the lords themselves; besides occupying their mansions and properties, they even kept their wives, concubines and daughters.

After Blackblood Alliance arrived there, dead people could be discovered in the rivers outside the cities every day. Those ruffians and scoundrels who were beaten and sworn like mice passing the streets inside the cities or put behind upon bars joined Blackblood Immortal Palace and found their reliances. Closely after that, they all became local dignitary and lived a well-off life assuming the authorities of immortal generals of Blackblood Alliance as their own. At the same time, they imitated their superiors and started to be tyrannical in cities too. In only a few years, few women in brilliant clothes could be seen on the streets of Dragonsea City in the daytime. Even though some women were on the streets, they only lowered their heads and trotted. If they had to raise their heads, they would cover their faces and hair with dust and soil in case of being robbed away…

Previously, Dragonsea City was one of the biggest city in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain. The entire city and its surrounding areas contained over 22 million people. The city was pretty prosperous. However, after being occupied by Blackblood Alliance for only a few years, the city had gradually become sluggish.

Even so, the powers of Blackblood Alliance still didn’t stop enjoying themselves. These fearless immortal generals and bandits lived in a humble abode in the cold and hard environment of Brokenstars Sea before; after occupying such a big city, of course, they would relax as if they wanted to compensate the former “losses”.

At noon, those fearless bandits of Blackblood Alliance had already gathered in the original location of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace again. They were holding a grand and luxurious banquet where they were exclaiming and drinking heartily like what they usually did in Brokenstars Sea…

The former solemn Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragonsea City had already changed its look. The statue of Dragon Emperor standing in the hall which covered over 10,000 square meters had long been broken into pieces and thrown away; they were replaced by two wholly-new statues of Two Blackblood Sages who were both higher than 20 m. The entire hall was resplendent and magnificent. The fountain in the hall was spurting out quality liquor; the singers and dancers were top beauties; even those mermaids serving yummy food were beauties in semi-transparent yarn skirt.

At this moment, Two Blackblood Sages were sitting behind the tables in front of their own statues and drinking while squinting their subordinates drinking heartily and exclaiming madly.

Saber Sage was sitting before his statue on the left of the end of the hall. In black Samurai robe, he looked like a crazy lion featured by hawk nose, tall frame, silver hair, rugged and flamboyant look. Meanwhile, a cold light flashed across his eyes every once in a while.

The one who was sitting behind the table over 10 m away from Saber Sage was Sword Sage. Compared to Saber Sage’s rugged and flamboyant look, Sword Sage in white robe looked like a decent and well-preserved middle-aged scholar. There was not even a wrinkle on Sword Sage’s face. His fair and slim fingers which were holding a glass made many women feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

Sword Sage and Saber Sage were their nicknames. As for their true names, very few people knew that after they gradually established Blackblood Alliance.

In the hall, immortal generals directly jumped into the dance pool and caught a dancer and drew her back to their own table every once in a while. Closely after that, they guffawed and made a cup of liquor before pouring it into the woman’s mouth. Meanwhile, they started to gnaw and lick her breast crazily. Additionally, soon after some mermaids served dishes, they had been caught by someone on their side and pressed down. Closely after that, they started to fumble crazily in her skirt…

Among their guffaws, the hall was filled with women’s exclamations from time to time as if many devils were dancing in riotous revelry.

However, there wasn’t any woman beside the Two Blackblood Sages. From the beginning, their eyes had been calm and cold. They just drank quietly as if nobody was in front of them.

Two Blackblood Sages were always like that. Therefore, they could win the admiration of so many fearless bandits.

When Saber Sage looked at Sword Sage for the third time, gentle Sword Sage finally drank up the glass of liquor. Closely after that, he flicked his glass by finger, causing a clear “buzz”, which covered all the other sounds in the hall. Those immortal generals who were drinking heartily, guffawing crazily and burying their heads in the breasts of women gradually became quiet together with those musicians and women who were singing and dancing. A few seconds later, the boisterous hall was in dead silence.

“Jia Zhang, how many people escaped away from Dragonsea City last month?” Sword Sage asked kindly as he looked at a nearby tall, thin and black-faced wind immortal general who had just drawn his hand back from inside the skirt of a quivering maid.

“247 people escaped away from Dragonsea City last month. We’ve already caught 218 of them. 29 people are still missing. However, they can never escape away from the territory of Blackblood Immortal Palace. We might be able to catch all of them in a couple of days,” the wind immortal general said as he licked his lips.

“How do you cope with those whom you’ve caught back?”

The wind immortal general named Jia Zhang grinned grimly and terrifyingly, exposing his metal teeth. “I’ve decapitated all of them and hung them over the city gate. 16 of them had family members. I decapitated their family members too. Some of them were decapitated together with their neighbors. I’ve chopped off 687 people’s heads in total. I believe these heads could scare many people…”

“Not bad. Not bad!” Sword Sage nodded with a smile. After making a glass of drink for himself, he raised his glass and said, “Thanks for your help…”

All the other immortal generals hurriedly responded to him by raising their glasses and bottomed up their glasses at a stroke.

“How are you living these years after you came to Dragon Emperor Big Domain?” Sword Sage asked them with a smile.

“Haha, needless to say, we’ve got drink and meat. We could have as many beauties as we want. We’re living much better than those days in Brokenstars Sea…”

“Last night, I found 6 more beautiful virgins and played with them all night. Pitifully, two of them died. Hahaha…”

“I’m living better. When I saw a mansion that I liked, I would rush inside and kill all the men. Then, I would have all the women, properties and servants. Those people had to serve me like how they served those men before. Heh, heh, heh, these rich people are really luxurious…”

Those subordinates started to reminisce about their “good days”.

“Not bad, not bad!” Sword Sage nodded as he asked, “Do you want to continue or not…”

“Of course…”

“Jerks don’t like that…”

“Did we mistreat you these years?” Sword Sage continued.

“Never!”

“Why did you say that?”

“Your Majesty, what are you talking about? If I hear anyone say that Your Majesty mistreated him, I will chop off his head immediately…”

“Sigh, but I’m afraid that we cannot continue to live on like this for long…” Sword Sage suddenly said with a deep sigh.

“Ah? Is Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace going to launch counterattacks? How dare they do that? Even if they intend to do that, dare they fight Blackblood Immortal Palace?”

“F*ck, Your Majesty, why not occupy Dragon Emperor City? If all the survivors of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace are killed, they will not dare to find troubles any more…”

“It’s not that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace doesn’t want us to live well. After a short period of time, the core of Mountain Ruins will be opened. On that day, supreme-level immortal generals would enter the core of Mountain Ruins. If someone could drink Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, they’re going to promote to immortal emperors soon. By then, if there are a couple of more immortal emperors in Motian Realm; I’m afraid that we will not be able to live such well…”

“Ah, but why?”

“Think about it. As long as new immortal emperors appear, the pattern of human forces in Motian Realm will be changed. Will the new immortal emperors abandon such a huge piece of cake of Dragon Emperor Big Domain? We’ve already occupied such a large area in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain. It’s difficult for other human forces to not cast greedy eyes on this area…”

“As long as Your Majesty could drink Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring and promote to immortal emperors, won’t the entire Dragon Emperor Big Domain will belong to us?” a smart immortal general instantly said.

“Even if we could drink Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, due to the constant loss of population of Blackblood Immortal Palace, we would barely win the favor of those commoners. On this occasion, how could we promote to immortal emperors? What should we do to prevent those followers of Blackblood Immortal Palace from escaping and let them be loyal to Blackblood Immortal Palace?” Sword Sage said as he stroked the glass by two fingers and watched those fearless immortal generals with a smile…

Watching the faint smile of Sword Sage, all the fearless immortal generals in the hall felt their hearts palpitating once. Those smart ones instantly got the meaning of Sword Sage after taking a look at Saber Sage who remained silent beside Sword Sage. Closely after that, they all trembled once due to fear…

The atmosphere in the hall turned cold gradually…
