Two days later, in the deep night, it was windy and rainy in Embracing Tiger City. As a coastal city, the sudden rainstorm made the area within 600 square miles of Embracing Tiger City extraordinarily tranquil. It was covered with water vapor, causing very low visibility.
There was a forest behind Embracing Tiger Mountain. There was a mountain stream dozens of miles away from the Ancestral Shrine Palace in the north. There was a waterfall in the mountain stream. As a result, the rainstorm abruptly increased the water flow of the waterfall. As a result, the turbid water mixed with mud and fallen leaves rushed into a deep pool at the foot of the mountain stream, causing a rumbling sound. Closely after that, it converged into a river and flowed towards the ocean.
In such a weather, such a night and such a wild view, nobody could be seen. Even birds and beasts had almost hidden in their nests.
A head popped out of the pool almost soundlessly.
This person was dry. When the water in the pool was 1 cm away from his body, it had been separated by his protective battle qi.
Given his protective battle qi, Zhang Tie knew that this was a knight. However, his look was strange.
After popping out of the pool, this person looked around for a short while. Closely after that, he flew off the pool and rushed into the clouds at an extremely high speed under the cover of the heavy rain. Closely after that, he flew towards the north under the cover of the dense clouds.
After this person left the mountain stream for over 10 minutes, with a lightning bolt, the sky and the earth turned white. At the same time, three more people appeared in the mountain stream under the heavy rain.
"Elder Brother Huang" whom Zhang Taibai had met that day was among the three people. One was an earth knight in sky-blue battle armor with a gloomy look; the other one was a shadow knight with a bizarre braid, tattoos of various animals on his face and arms and a string of bone beads around his neck. Given his qi, Zhang Taibai knew that he was also a shadow knight.
At this moment, on the palm of the shadow knight with the bizarre bone beads around his neck, a colorful bizarre butterfly whose two pairs of wings would change colors like a rainbow was fluttering. The two antennas of the butterfly were pointing at the direction where that knight disappeared.
Before the faint thunders drifted from the sky, the three knights had already rushed into the sky and chased after that knight towards the north.
"Zhang Taixuan is as cunning as a fox. This time, if His Majesty didn't dispatch White Bone Immortal to help him stealthily, even I would have been cheated by him …" The old man surnamed Huang said with full of fury in the air, "His Majesty has long known that Zhang Taixuan is ambitious and could not be easily controlled. After hearing the words of the old man surnamed Huang, the knight with the string of bone beads around his neck let out a sigh," His Majesty has long known that Zhang Taixuan has a great ambition and could not be easily controlled. When Huaiyuan Palace was in trouble, His Majesty had already thought about Zhang Taixuan once again.
Of course, the so-called immortal was a shadow knight. After hearing the words of the old man surnamed Huang, the knight with a string of bone beads over his neck let out a sigh, saying, "Your Majesty has long known that Zhang Taixuan has a great ambition and couldn't be easily controlled. When Huaiyuan Palace was in trouble, Your Majesty immediately thought of Zhang Taixuan. Pitifully, this soul-chasing butterfly is a top-quality mutated species among soul-chasing butterflies. It's called Four-symbol Butterfly. It could lock onto a knight's chakra from 10,000 m away. After locking onto a knight, the sensing distance would be over 2,000 miles. Additionally, it could survive for 1 month. Even Your Majesty only has less than 5 Four-symbol Butterflies. Your Majesty has paid a great price to get them. They have always been treasured by Your Majesty. For the event in Youzhou Province, Your Majesty has considered for a long time before taking out one. Such a butterfly should at least be used on a heavenly knight at the critical moment …"
"Your Majesty is really far-sighted. You told me to have immortal hide in the airboat and activate the spiritual butterfly when I met Zhang Taixuan that day. As a result, the spiritual butterfly locked the qi of Zhang Taixuan's chakra. Otherwise, we could only be fooled by him tonight …"
"I only hope that this Four-image Butterfly will not be wasted!"
"It's better to use Four-image Butterfly on Zhang Tie than on Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Taixuan is just an earth knight. He could not fly too far away tonight. Given his weird trace, he must have a plot. This time, we will let him know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. How could an earth knight play a trick in front of us? How ridiculous …"
"Hope so!"
…
Zhang Tie didn't sleep tonight. Outside the underground space, sea waves were crashing against the reefs on the seaside and the crisscrossed karst caves at the bottom of the mountain, causing loud sounds and echoes. Even though Zhang Tie didn't use his lotus-flower eyes, he knew that it must be stormy with billows tonight …
It had been 3 days since Zhang Tie woke up. During the past 3 days, that dare-to-die fighter didn't come here anymore besides sending clean water and some cold rice to Zhang Tie. Therefore, Zhang Tie muttered inside, 'Does the one behind the scenes really not want to negotiate with me?
Is it a psychological warfare or does that person not want to see me for the time being? '
Now that that person was not anxious, Zhang Tie didn't need to be anxious at this moment. He just waited patiently.
In the underground mountain cave, Zhang Tie was sitting on the ground with crossed legs and cultivating the endless true words of Great Wilderness Sutra peacefully. The 3 bloody soul needles in his body had already turned into 3 bloody fine threads which were coiling around his finger like a finger ring.
As for Zhang Tie who had Bloody Soul Sutra, using bloody soul needles on him was like playing a broadsword in front of Guan Yu or cutting wood in front of Lu Ban. Although such a secret skill could make others fearful, it was as easy as blowing off dust for Zhang Tie to deactivate it.
After hearing the faint sound from the top of the mountain cave, Zhang Tie who was cultivating the endless true words of Great Wilderness Sutra opened his eyes. After glancing around with his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie found that the 50-odd dare-to-die fighter was escorting senior sister apprentice Ma downstairs from the top of the mountain cave with a gloomy look.
Watching them coming downstairs, Zhang Tie stopped his cultivation. He raised his finger which was coiled with bloody soul needles and put it under his nose. Closely after that, he slightly inhaled. Closely after that, the 3 bloody soul needles which were thinner than hair wiggled like moving earthworms and spiritual snakes. After loosening their coiling around Zhang Tie's finger, they drilled into Zhang Tie's nostrils.
Zhang Tie then put down his finger while the iron gate of the mountain cave was opened with a squeak. Closely after that, that dare-to-die fighter and Ma Aiyun walked downstairs.
When he saw senior sister apprentice Ma again, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside.
With a haggard look, Ma Aiyun looked a bit thrilled at the sight of Zhang Tie …
