Lying on the icy ground, Zhang Tie seemed to be in a coma as he was calculating the time inside.
About 2 hours after Zhang Tie drank "Soul Leave", Zhang Tie saw that 50-year old dare-to-die fighter leading another dare-to-die fighter to the courtyard of the manor and waiting there silently. About 10 minutes later, a person flashed in the sky as he fell into the manor above the underground cave in the heavy rain.
Closely after that, that person showed something in his hand. All the other dare-to-die fighters in the manor bowed towards that person at the same time. The 50-year old dare-to-die fighter moved forward and said something to that person. After that, he led that person into the manor and walked down the underground cave.
In the beginning, as Zhang Tie looked up, he couldn't see that person's look clearly. However, when that person walked towards the mountain cave where Zhang Tie was locked up, he finally saw that person's look; especially when the 50-year old dare-to-die fighter led that person to the underground cave where Zhang Tie was locked up, that person's look finally appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
That person's figure was a bit different. He looked a bit short and fat. He wore a metal mask and a disguising mask. However, when that person opened the door and entered the mountain cave, Zhang Tie could see through all the falsehoods.
Lotus-flower eyes could see through all the falsehoods.
In Zhang Tie's eyes, that person's bones, that person's face under the two masks and that person's glow had long revealed his identity — — Zhang Taixuan.
It was Zhang Taixuan, the head of Huaiyuan Palace.
'Zhang Taixuan! '
'Zhang Taixuan! '
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt that his heart was even colder than the rock on the ground that he was leaning against.
He was waiting for the culprit who wanted to murder him; however, it was the head of Huaiyuan Palace, Lan Yunxi's father.
Zhang Tie remained silent; however, his heart had been in a mess as his brain became stiff.
'No, no, it should be a coincidence. Zhang Taixuan might be here to save me! '
A voice was shouting in Zhang Tie's heart.
However, the moment that dare-to-die fighter opened his mouth, he had shattered Zhang Tie's only hope mercilessly. As a result, Zhang Tie sensed the cruelty of the reality and an unspeakable despair once again.
"Master, Zhang Tie is right here. I've already fed him Soul Leave according to your request. Like your judgment, as long as we bring that woman surnamed Ma to him, even though he knows that it's poisonous, he would still eat it obediently!"
"Everyone has a weakness. Zhang Tie's weakness is that he cares about his family too much and trusts the people around him too easily!" Zhang Taixuan's hoarse voice drifted from his mask, which was utterly different than usual. However, Zhang Tie could still identify it at once. With lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could even see that Zhang Taixuan was controlling the muscles on his vocal cords on purpose so that he could utter a weird tone. Zhang Taixuan waved his hand as he said, "You go out first. I want to stay here alone for a few minutes..."
"Yes!" That dare-to-die fighter replied respectfully as he walked out of the mountain cave and closed the metal gate.
Zhang Taixuan slowly came to Zhang Tie's side and stood two steps away from Zhang Tie. His eyes behind the mask flickered with weird brilliance as he glanced over Zhang Tie from head to toe seriously. After that, he took in a deep breath and raised his hand. Zhang Tie then saw that the colorful finger ring on Zhang Taixuan's finger was radiating a dim blue brilliance, which started from the bottom of Zhang Tie's feet and started to scan upwards.
When Zhang Taixuan's light touched Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie felt that the marvelous arch gate in his mind sea slightly rocked. Closely after that, a god's hiding rune in his mind sea shot towards the arch gate as fast as a lightning bolt and integrated with the arch gate like a drop of water. Closely after that, the arch gate became transparent and slowly melted in the void of his mind sea.
Since Zhang Tie owned Castle of Black Iron, this was the most thorough time for Castle of Black Iron to be hidden in Zhang Tie's mind sea. Before this, Zhang Tie didn't know that his hiding rune could be applied to the arch gate of Castle of Black Iron.
The small tree and Castle of Black Iron must have sensed something. Therefore, they made such a response.
The blue light shot out of the colorful finger ring all the way up from Zhang Taixuan's soles and swept over Zhang Tie's calves, knees, thighs, crotch, lower abdomen, chest, hands, shoulders, neck, and finally over Zhang Tie's head. However, the blue light didn't make any response.
Zhang Taixuan didn't give up as he scanned Zhang Tie twice with that blue light again. However, he still didn't find anything.
"Does Zhang Tie really not carry the immortal item with him; instead, he hides it somewhere else …" Zhang Taixuan muttered in front of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie had completely heard Zhang Taixuan's words.
After letting out a sigh, Zhang Taixuan resolutely turned around and left the mountain cave.
When the iron gate was opened once again, Zhang Tie heard Zhang Taixuan telling that dare-to-die fighter, "Keep an eye on him. Don't make any mistake. I will send you a message if there's any problem!"
"Yes, sir!"
It only took Zhang Taixuan less than 5 minutes to leave here. Under the gaze of Zhang Tie's lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Taixuan flew off the courtyard of the manor castle and entered the clouds in the heavy rain towards the south...
Zhang Tie had already opened his eyes. Watching the grey rocks in the mountain cave above his head, Zhang Tie's eyes were hollow with an unknown despair.
Just now, when Zhang Taixuan was standing on Zhang Tie's side, Zhang Tie's ambivalence and struggle couldn't be expressed in words. He wanted to open his eyes and tear Zhang Taixuan into pieces right away. However, not knowing why, what appeared in Zhang Tie's mind was not Zhang Taixuan, but Lan Yunxi's beautiful eyes. Zhang Tie felt that Lan Yunxi was gazing at him quietly with tears in her eyes, which made him heartbroken.
Zhang Tie had not been so sad and struggling in his entire life.
Zhang Tie was waiting for the hare. However, when the hare arrived, Zhang Tie became hesitant for a second. Finally, he saw the hare leaving again.
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt that the God had played a very bad joke on him.
When Zhang Tie felt that no more hare would come here tonight, he suddenly saw three more people in the rumbling thunders in the courtyard above the underground cave...
