Castle of Black Iron Chapter 1182 - Convergence

Chapter 1182: Convergence

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
If Zhang Gui concealed his real battle strength in the public, besides avoiding from outsiders’ disputes and the embarrassing conflicts in Huaiyuan Palace, the biggest benefit was that Zhang Gui could easily deal with more difficult situations at the critical moment.
At any time, concealing one’s battle strength would bring unimaginable benefits. A black iron knight was too weaker than an earth knight in battle strength. As long as the opponent underestimated Zhang family’s overall strength at the critical moment, Zhang family would be safer and reverse the situation.
After killing Han Zhengfang, Zhang Tie found that he became increasingly “grimmer” and more “cunning” in considering and dealing with problems.
…
The thunder hawk moved very fast and smoothly on the way.
After flying about 2,000 miles away from the volcanic area, the thunder hawk met an unknown airboat in the air. The crew on the airboat might have discovered the thunder hawk, Zhang Tie and Zhang Gui; however, they must be scared by the high speed of the thunder hawk. Therefore, after chasing after the thunder hawk for a few seconds, the airboat soon lost their target as its speed was even slower than the speed of sound in air. Zhang Tie didn’t care about it. Whatever, this thunder hawk would always appear in the public in the future. It was nothing strange for others to be curious about it. He didn’t need to overreact in others’ response.
At this moment, one claw of this thunder hawk had already put on a mithril foot loop which was specially made by Edward like a label on the foot of a homebred pigeon. It indicated that this thunder hawk had its owner; instead of being a mutated wild species. Even if the thunder hawk flew away itself and met a heavenly knight-level old monster on the way, it wouldn’t be robbed away.
Although it was a bit chaotic in Taixia Country, except for b*stards of Heavens Reaching Church, people could still comply well with the basic orders and rules of Taixia Country apparently, including commoners and supreme knights. The “Laws of Taixia Country” were still unshakable in Taixia Country. The imperial court of Taixia Country was still in a ruling position. If not want to enter the wanted list of the Supreme Court, even knights dared not casually kill people and rob people’s objects blatantly.
Because Zhang Tie’s destination was Zhongzhou Province, which was not far from Xuanyuan Hill, he didn’t see any bloody figures on the way. As the traffic arteries and dangerous terrains in the periphery of Xuanyuan Hill were strictly defended by the top 4 armies of Taixia Country, those bloody figures couldn’t access to Xuanyuan Hill at all.
The thunder hawk could fly at almost 1,500 miles per hour. At afternoon, after 7 hours’ high-speed flight, a class-A city had appeared on the horizon.
Zhongzhou Province was one of the top 9 immortal provinces of Taixia Country. As the capital city of Zhongzhou Province, Zhongzhou city was much more prosperous than ordinary class-A cities. Besides the inside of Zhongzhou City, the entire Zhongzhou City was surrounded by densely populated districts. The radiated urban regions of Zhongzhou City were 5 times larger than that of ordinary class-A cities. After a long-term peaceful life, even if these people didn’t settle in the city, they didn’t need to worry about any dangers while living at the periphery of the city.
Perhaps, people near Zhongzhou City were still not worried about dangers a few months ago, it was hard for them to persist in the same firm belief now.
Watching airships and airboats setting off and landing at the airports inside and outside Zhongzhou City, Zhang Tie directly contacted with Bai Suxian and told her to have the airboat drive to 30 miles away from Zhongzhou City. He would converge with them outside the city instead of joining the fun inside Zhongzhou City.
After gaining benefits, making a fortune, exterminating the powerful enemies and screwing Meng Shidao, of course, he needed to be low-key as it was not far from Xuanyuan Hill.
Zhang Tie let the thunder hawk slow down its speed from twice the speed of sound to equivalent to the speed of sound in air. They were not moving as fast as ordinary knights.
Old slave Zhang Gui had already loosened the sharp claw of the thunder hawk and started to fly after the thunder hawk in case of arousing others’ attention.
In less than 10 minutes, the thunder hawk had passed through the border of Zhongzhou City, exposing Iron-Dragon Airboat to Zhang Tie, Zhang Gui and the thunder hawk.
The movable deck on the top of Iron-Dragon Airboat had opened while Zhang Tie’s disciples were standing on the deck and waiting for Zhang Tie.
With a strong wind, a sparkling golden light and an air-splitting sound, the thunder hawk dove downwards onto the deck, causing them to widely open their eyes as they hurriedly turned around; some female disciples’ skirts swayed in the air.
Before they realized what happened, Zhang Tie had already appeared on the deck while an extremely handsome golden bird was standing on Zhang Tie’s side. The bird was even taller than Zhang Tie. The huge bird was preening its feathers on its neck as it squinted at the others with a pair of golden eyes in an extremely arrogant way. An old man was standing behind Zhang Tie in a docile way.
Liu Xing recovered his composure as he hurriedly deeply bowed towards Zhang Tie, followed by the other disciples; meanwhile, they said in unison, “Welcome back, Master!”
“Hmm!” Zhang Tie glanced around the deck and immediately understood the progress of the cultivation of the 121 disciples. Curiously, Bai Suxian was not on the deck. ‘This is not Bai Suxian’s style.’
After straightening up their bodies, at the sight of Zhang Tie, many people’s heart pounded as they hurriedly lowered their heads too.
Being limited to their overall strength, although his disciples didn’t know what happened to Zhang Tie these days, all of them could sense the change in their master. Their master became more imposing with milder eye light. However, after being casually glanced by their master, they would feel being seen through as they didn’t feel like struggling at all.
In only a few days, Zhang Tie had entered 4 change earth realm; especially after taking that fruit of brilliance, Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy had surged to a terrifying level. At this moment, although Zhang Tie didn’t mean to release his imposing qi field, his movements could still bring a great stress to his disciples who had not even reached LV 10.
“Zhao Bing, Wu Yinhui, Zhou Xiao, Ma Kuicheng, Linghu Biao, Sunzhan, Zhu Yuanguang, Qian Bingbing, Huang Chongyang, Bai Hua, Zhang Yueshan, Yu Xiaoai”, Zhang Tie called 12 disciples consecutively, including 2 females. After being called, all of them became flurried as they hurriedly lowered their heads. However, Zhang Tie’s words were out of their expectation, “You’ve made great progress in your cultivation bases these days; your LV 9 realm have become more complete with denser spiritual energy. This master will enlighten Fire-Dragon Sutra to you tomorrow!”
“Thanks, Master!” After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, these disciples became stunned for a second. Closely after that, they became overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed towards Zhang Tie. Being imparted with Fire Dragon Sutra through enlightenment, they would feel like having a new birth. None of them had imagined that their master could preach them Fire Dragon Sutra through enlightenment soon after he came back. As a result, they started to feel like climbing towards universal laws. Out of extreme excitement, someone’s eyes were even filled with tears at once.
When Liu Xing was preached Fire-Dragon Sutra through enlightenment by Zhang Tie, the others disciples were admiring about him pretty much. They encouraged themselves and expected that they could be that fortunate one day; unexpectedly, that day came so fast.
The 12 disciples that Zhang Tie called had made evident progress in cultivation bases with greatest efforts during these days. Even the other disciples whose names were not called had become spirited and hopeful, not to mention the 12 disciples. With such models in front of them, as long as they would like to make efforts in cultivation, they might be preached with Fire Dragon Sutra through enlightenment in the next round.
“Zhu Dabiao, Wang Pan, Xie Qingfeng. You need to make more efforts in cultivation. Don’t lag behind the others!” Zhang Tie called the three guys whose cultivation bases ranked last among all of his disciples. After hearing that, the three people hurriedly lowered their heads with a guilty look and dared not to throw a glance at Zhang Tie at all.
Zhang Tie then glanced around all the disciples before saying, “As for the others, keep it in mind, the road of cultivation is a long-lasting progress, you need to make constant efforts in a modest way!”
“Yes, Master!”
Zhang Tie succumbed all of his disciples only by three sentences. After that, he asked Liu Xing, “Where’s your Uncle Master Bai?”
“Soon after Iron-Dragon Airboat left Zhongzhou City, a maid of Uncle Master Bai had told me that Uncle Master Bai felt a bit uncomfortable and was taking a rest in the cabin!” Liu Xing replied in a solemn look. All the others just looked at the ground silently.
After hearing this answer, Zhang Tie touched his nose lightly. As a knight, of course, Bai Suxian wouldn’t feel uncomfortable like commoners. After promoting to a knight, it indicated that she had said goodbye to 36,000 kinds of diseases. Unless being possessed by the devil in cultivation or being poked some holes by a dagger, she would never feel “a bit uncomfortable”.
‘Bai Suxian must be losing temper. Because she has guessed that the event in Xuanyuan Hill is related to me, she must be blaming me for not having her as an assistant.’
Sometimes, women were narrow-minded, even being a knight.
