The moment Zhang Taixuan opened his mouth, all the others at present had fixated onto him, including Zhang Tie.
Although Zhang Tie looked a bit amazed, he was extremely calm inside. Because Zhang Taixuan's response was completely within his expectation.
The three knights in the mountain cave followed Zhang Taixuan here. Additionally, they seemed to be very familiar with Zhang Taixuan; especially the shadow knight surnamed Huang.
As they were familiar with Zhang Taixuan and had followed Zhang Taixuan to find Zhang Tie, they were not wanted criminals of the Supreme Court. Therefore, they didn't need to hide themselves. They must have contacted Zhang Taixuan in Youzhou Province. Additionally, they might have contacted Zhang Taixuan in the public. Therefore, Zhang Taixuan couldn't deny it. If Zhang Taixuan didn't say anything at this moment, as long as the Supreme Court investigated this person's background and trace in Youzhou Province, Zhang Taixuan's silence would be exposing himself. Therefore, Zhang Taixuan had to express something at this moment.
The reason why Zhang Taixuan exposed this person at this moment was that he wanted Zhang Taixuan to expose him at this moment.
Since those people were familiar with Zhang Taixuan, and something happened to them after meeting Zhang Taixuan, and now they were exposed by Zhang Taixuan, when this information fell into the ears of the "Royal Highness", how would the "Royal Highness" feel? He would only feel that he was betrayed by Zhang Taixuan.
Zhang Taixuan's exposure at this moment was for self-protection; meanwhile, it would further deteriorate the relationship between him and that "His Majesty". Zhang Taixuan chose the lesser of two evils. The deeper the Supreme Court dug along this line, the deeper Zhang Taixuan would offend that "His Majesty". That was to say, Zhang Taixuan's retreat route was to force Zhang Taixuan into a corner and make him a trapped beast.
The portrait that Zhang Taixuan drew was more painful than stabbing Zhang Taixuan with a saber.
"Do you know this person?" The chief justice fixated onto Zhang Taixuan at a stroke.
"We got acquainted in the Earth-elements Realm. I always treat him as my friend. A few days ago, when Elder Mushen disappeared, this person came to Embracing Tiger Mountain for my help. I've not imagined that he's such a person …" Zhang Taixuan said with a bitter look.
"Who's he?"
Zhang Taixuan gritted his teeth, "This man is Huang Baitao, the Grand Elder of the Huang Clan of Mercury Palace in Qizhou Province..."
At this moment, it didn't matter whether Zhang Taixuan said it or not. Given the ability of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country, it would take them less than 1 day to find such a famous shadow knight. However, the moment Zhang Taixuan opened his mouth, it would be different.
After hearing Zhang Taixuan's words, the president of the supreme court of Taixia Country slightly moved his fingers as he might have already issued an order. These people dared frame Zhang Tie, hurt Zhang Tie's family members and violated the bottom line of the laws of Taixia Country and knights. Even 10 Huang clans of Mercury Palace in Qizhou Province could not kill them.
"Immortal, do you have any other clues …" the president of the Supreme Court asked Zhang Tie.
Faintly frowning, Zhang Tie thought for a short while before replying, "I remember that they wanted to send me to Yinzhou Province; they even mentioned Sagus, the Monarch Abyss of demons …"
Yinzhou Province was the "capital" of Heavens Reaching Empire. The two people even mentioned Sagus, the Monarch Abyss of demons. Although Zhang Tie didn't say that the two people colluded with demons and were members of Heavens Reaching Church, Zhang Tie's words indicated that the two people were lackeys of Heavens Reaching Church and demons.
Heavens Reaching Church and demons were the enemies of humans. The Supreme Court, the military and Xuanyuan Hill would never show mercy to these people. They would only hunt them down and exterminate them.
Neither the two people nor Zhang Taixuan were members of Heavens Reaching Church or demons. However, Zhang Tie said that they were. Nobody else could refute it except Zhang Tie. Additionally, it was reasonable for demons and Heavens Reaching Church to do this. It was in the guesses and expectations of many people.
Zhang Tie was going to kill people with the help of the Supreme Court even the military. He was driving a tiger to swallow a wolf with a borrowed knife. His saber was aimed at that "His Majesty".
At this moment, the so-called truth was not important anymore.
No matter how powerful that "His Highness" was, he dared not act rashly at this moment. Because if he acted, he would be admitting that he was the lackey of demons and had colluded with the remnants of Heavens Reaching Church and become the public enemy of the whole world. Meanwhile, he would be free to take revenge later on without bearing any consequences.
As was imagined, after hearing Zhang Tie's words, both the president of the Supreme Court and Cheng Honglie revealed a solemn look.
Zhang Tie threw a stealthy glance at Zhang Taixuan. Although Zhang Taixuan looked calm, his face turned much paler when he heard that the two people were demons and Heavens Reaching Church.
Because the deeper the Supreme Court and the military of Taixia Country dug along the clue of Immortal Raging Fire, the more ruthless they would be. As a result, Zhang Taixuan would be blamed by that "His Highness".
After catching such a clue, Mr. Li couldn't wait to ask Zhang Tie, "It's said that Immortal Raging Fire brought back a person, Ma Aiyun, I wonder …"
"Ma Aiyun was just used by others. She doesn't know anything. These days, she has been too frightened and fatigued. I've already had her take a rest. If Mr. Li has any other questions, just ask me …" Zhang Tie said decisively.
Of the three senior sister apprentices who invited Zhang Tie to the party, two had died, only one survived. Now that those people could keep Ma Aiyun here, it indicated that Ma Aiyun must be different than the other two senior sister apprentices or could influence Zhang Tie in some way. Ma Aiyun definitely had some clues. However, Zhang Tie had already taken out the head of an earth knight and the clue of Huang Clan of Mercury Palace in Qizhou Province, which was enough to explain the problem. As a LV 9 fighter and a foreign disciple of Huaiyuan Palace, even if she knew something, she was at most a pawn being used to lure Zhang Tie. Her life or death didn't matter at all. It was unnecessary for her to offend Zhang Tie for such a trivial thing.
After thinking it through, the chief justice of Taixia Country instantly stood up with a solemn look, saying, "This event is very important. I have to notice His Majesty right away. Now that this event is involved with Heavens Reaching Church and demons, it's out of my control. In case that the members of Huang Clan of Mercury Palace in Qizhou Province escaped away, I will go to Qizhou Province to catch Huang Baitao, Immortal Raging Fire and the remnants of Heavens Reaching Church. Before there's any movement in Qizhou Province, I hope you don't leak this news to the public. See you …"
…
After seeing off the chief justice and Commander Cheng, Zhang Tie and the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace watched the airboat flying towards the south at the fastest speed. Zhang Tie then moved his eyes onto Zhang Taixuan's face as he pretended to be amazed, "Clan head, what's wrong? You don't look good …"
Zhang Taixuan indeed didn't look good. After hearing Zhang Tie's question, Zhang Taixuan forced a smile, saying, "I've been very intense these days. After knowing that Elder Mushen has come back, I suddenly became relaxed; instead, I feel a bit fatigued …"
"Clan head has been staying in Embracing Tiger Mountain these days for the sake of Elder Mushen …" Elder Muen sighed with emotion on one side.
