Chapter 1527: An Encounter on the Way
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After activating his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could see many airboats within thousands of miles. Even within 150 miles, Zhang Tie saw three airboats suspending on the verge of the influence of Centralpolar Mountain. Apparently, these airboats came here for the discovery from far away.
In the distance, some more airboats were suspending in the sky. Even in the daytime, a multitude of meteors could still be seen as many knights were heading for Centralpolar Mountain at their full speeds, fully releasing their battle qis.
Previously, the Great Wilderness Sect was almost a qualified ruler among numerous mountains in the South Border, which possessed a great influence there; especially among barbarians where it was like an unrivaled power. Additionally, South Border was abundant in rarities and treasures. Therefore, after receiving the news, numerous people were shocked as they set for Centralpolar Mountain in groups.
The speed of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian was even far greater than that of shadow knights. On the way, Zhang Tie had also met some waves of knights heading for Centralpolar Mountain. However, all the other knights kept far away from Zhang Tie’s route, showing their great reverence to him like avoiding from a huge prehistorical beast.
When a black iron knight saw Zhang Tie flying towards him, he instantly became flurried as he changed his direction and dove into the woods, destroying a row of huge trees on the ground. His embarrassed behavior made Zhang Tie speechless.
“What the hell? Am I a monster or what?” Zhang Tie sighed using the bit of remaining battle qi in his qi sea.
On this occasion, their moving speed was faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, they could only communicate by battle qi.
“How’d they know?” Bai Suxian answered with a smile, “Given our speed, they must treat us as heavenly knights. Of course, they are flurried. In peaceful times, heavenly knights would behave legally and not bully knights with lower levels; however, when it comes to treasure scramble, they would reveal their evil and ferocious temperament and easily kill any knights with lower levels because of one offensive word or behavior; especially those standalone knights with no special background. As long as they stir up high-level knights on this occasion, they might be killed and nobody would speak for them. Such events have happened more than once in Taixia Country. That one might be alone and timid. He must have been scared too much when he found himself blocking our way…”
“What are those standalone low-level knights doing here, aren’t they moths flying towards fire?”
“People die in pursuit of wealth while birds die in pursuit of food. That’s how humans do. Those standalone knights don’t have too many cultivation resources. In such case, even though they know there’re perils in front of them, they would also have a try with fluke mind. Additionally, the Dongtian and treasures of Great Wilderness Sect are too alluring. It’s no strange for so many people to try their luck here. Before the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect, everyone said that Bazis and plains are ruled by Lord Guangnan’s Mansion while numerous mountains were ruled by Great Wilderness Sect. Apparently, Great Wilderness Sect could be on the same footing with South Border. Even Lord Guangnan’s Mansion should show its courtesy to the Great Wilderness Sect at that time…”
Bai Suxian simplified the understanding of Great Wilderness Sect to Zhang Tie in flight, “It’s said that some secret skills of Great Wilderness Sutra elders and disciples of Great Wilderness Sect cultivated consumed them too much physical and spiritual energy. In order to mend up their losses, the warehouse of medicines of Great Wilderness Sect almost contained all the treasures, rarities and marvelous medicines that could be seen in South Border. In their heyday, Great Wilderness Sect even was exchanged for enormous element crystals and secret cultivation books with major sects and knights across Taixia Country using its collections. The collections in the secret warehouse of Great Wilderness Sect could even match that of major sects in Taixia Country. After the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect, even Xuanyuan Hill was jealous of their collections as they dispatched employed elders to search for the purported secret warehouse. This time, there must be many forces coming to South Border. What was more, if the Dongtian discovered in Centralpolar Mountain was real, the number of towers of time in the Dongtian must be out of imagination…”
“Aah? Why?”
“Previously, 7 people of Great Wilderness Sect promoted to knight elders within two months. Therefore, outsiders guessed that the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect at least contained 7 towers of time!”
When Zhang Tie recalled the letter left by Cloudcrane, a late disciple of Great Wilderness Sect, Zhang Tie felt sad about Great Wilderness Sect too. Who could imagine such a remarkable sect could collapse overnight.
While creating prosperity for Great Wilderness Sect, Great Wilderness Sutra also destroyed Great Wilderness Sect. In Zhang Tie’s eyes, after becoming the top sect in South Border and owning a large handful of knights and elders, Great Wilderness Sect still treated its animal controlling skills as its foundations instead of stressing its cultivation in battle strength which provided a chance for Imperial Alliance to destroy it. If Great Wilderness Sect could walk on two legs instead of one and not have those knight elders obsessed with the experience of the animal control, it might not have been easy for Imperial Alliance to destroy Great Wilderness Sect.
‘I gained Great Wilderness Sutra by chance in Waii Subcontinent; when I came to South Border, the Dongtian and a tower of time of Great Wilderness Sect were discovered. Is it destined for me?’
Zhang Tie had a strange feeling when he thought about the connections between him and the Great Wilderness Sect in the air.
…
“Pah..pah..pah…”
A dusty guy climbed out of the pit that he had created as he hid in the shade. After looking up at the sky out of fear, he found that “heavenly knights” who approached him at a speed three times greater than that of sound had been far away; closely after that, he jumped out of the shade, swearing towards the sky, hands on his sides, “Heavenly knights, so what? Heavenly knights could bully me? F*ck your grandma! When, I Fan Sanguang, become a sage-level knight, I will deal with you!”
After swearing for a while, he suddenly felt itchy on his neck. He touched there as he found a nail-sized, colorful spider was there and had already given him a bite silently.
“Aah…” that guy exclaimed miserably as he released his protective battle qi, shocking the spider off to the ground. Before the spider climbed away, he had raised his leg and stomped onto it. At the same time, he swore, “Shit spider, damn spider; how dare you bully me? how dare you bully me? Go to hell; go to hell…”
The spider had already turned into shit; however, he didn’t stop until he created another deep pit. Gritting his teeth, he forcefully spat towards the ground, saying, “Have you seen that? That’s your destiny. Son of a bitch! This father could also kill you even though I’m not a sage-level knight…”
Closely after his words, he felt his neck a bit heavy as if something was hanging over there. He touched there again as he found a steamed-bun sized bump over there where he was bitten. As a result, he appeared to have a big neck. Not only that, the swollen region was expanding; additionally, he felt dizzy…
“Aah…” This guy shrieked miserably as if being beaten by a number of tough guys. At the same time, he took out a container of medicaments as he took many vials out of it. Hands quivering, he hurriedly took pills and daubed ointment on his wound…
Over 10 minutes later, the knight whose head was as swollen as a pig-head staggered as he swore and flew off the ground towards Centralpolar Mountain…
