Time passed very fast on the airboat, at least for Zhang Tie.
Celestial Woodbuilding, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and Bai Runshan were all sensible people. When their representatives arrived, they didn't come to disturb Zhang Tie these days; instead, they just cultivated in their own airboats. Even if they had something to do, they would contact Zhang Tie through remote-sensing communications finger rings.
Over the past few days, what happened in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect had been spread over the world, arousing a great shock. As a result, the chaotic situation facing Taixia Country became more weird and unpredictable.
Over these days, even though Zhang Tie was in South Border, as long as he took a glance at the Mountain of Brightness, he would find that the entire Mountain of Brightness had been in an uproar.
The bloody case of the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect was exposed once again and became the hot topic across Taixia Country.
Although Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion both published articles on the Mountain of Brightness to refute the rumor, the rumor that the two sects joined hands to exterminate Great Wilderness Sect had already spread across the world. Not to mention knights, even commoners in Jianghu had heard about it. As a result, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion who always regarded themselves as righteous sects in Taixia Country suffered unprecedented doubts and denunciations. As a result, the two sects were deeply troubled.
All the people who doubted and denounced Taiyi Fantasy Sect shared the same reason — — now that Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion could easily exterminate other major sects and kill so many knights in Taixia Country, their behaviors had definitely broken the bottom line of Taixia Country's tolerance towards sects.
As for those commoners and clans, now that Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion could do that to Great Wilderness Sect, they couldn't guarantee that their sects and clans wouldn't be slaughtered by Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion one day.
As for the official of Taixia Country, namely Xuanyuan Hill, the behaviors of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion were also intolerable. Because according to the law of Taixia Country, knights were as guilty as commoners if they killed someone. Although this law was flexible in some cases, for instance, when knights scrambled for treasures and cultivation resources with other knights in the Earth-elements Realm, it would not be so effective. According to a hidden rule among the official of Taixia Country and the circle of knights, the conflicts between knights and major sects would not be solved through the official of Taixia Country.
Take this treasure-snatching action in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect as an instance, if a knight who participated in this action was killed by other knights in the process, the government and the imperial court of Taixia Country would not care about it. If a silly knight wanted to "report" the case, he would be despised and spurned by all the others. He could barely survive in the circle of knights anymore. Such a rule was similar to the fact that the animosities and conflicts between gangs or underworld would not be solved by the Supreme Court.
However, the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect was not due to the enmity between two sects. Neither did Great Wilderness Sect have any enmity with Taiyi Fantasy Sect or Heavens Holding Pavilion; instead, it was pure murder and crime. Besides killing almost all the knights of Great Wilderness Sect, tens of thousands of disciples and commoners in the nearby town of Great Wilderness Sect were killed that night. Although many of those commoners were barbarians in South Border, many Hua commoners and itinerant merchants in South Border were also killed.
If Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion really did that, as the ruler of Taixia Country, Xuanyuan Hill had to give an explanation to those commoners. If Xuanyuan Hill chose to remain silent at this moment, its authority would definitely be gone.
Therefore, on the second day after Zhang Tie exited the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Xuanyuan Changying the supervising crown prince in Xuanyuan Hill had ordered the Supreme Court to investigate the case of the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect thoroughly. On the same day, the official document of Xuanyuan Hill had been delivered to Lord Guangnan's Mansion, which required Lord Guangnan's Mansion to cooperate with the Supreme Court of Taixia Country to investigate the case of the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect.
Of course, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion would not wait for their doom at this moment. The two sects immediately defined Yun Zhongzi as a lackey of demons. The two sects jointly declared that the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was a conspiracy of demons. Everything that Yun Zhongzi said was slandering and framing the two sects. Demons wanted to destroy the unity of Taixia Country and shake the foundation of Taixia Country through the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect.
The two sects' statements gained the support of Qionglou Pavilion at once. Closely after that, the three sects issued a kill order for Yun Zhongzi at once. The reward for Yun Zhongzi in the kill order instantly surpassed that of Zhao Yuan the Alchemist Demon who was on the wanted list of Taixia Country.
However, Yun Zhongzi's whereabouts were mysterious. After leaving the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, nobody had seen Yun Zhongzi anymore.
The battle in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border directly changed the overall situation facing Taixia Country, causing undercurrents across Taixia Country and the first face-to-face competition between Imperial Alliance and Xuanyuan Hill. As a result, Zhang Tie who was clear about everything in the competition held his breath and waited for the result of this competition patiently.
Only after staying in the airboat for 2 days, Zhang Tie's battle strength had recovered to his heyday. The mild and powerful hot sun rose up in his qi sea once again. Meanwhile, the bright moon and the stars in his mind sea shone with each other once again. Surging spiritual energy and battle qi were surging in each cell of Zhang Tie's body, enabling Zhang Tie to master the long-awaited and powerful strength once again.
Compared to the hard work of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion, Zhang Tie's fame and his heroic deed of saving over 10,000 human knights in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect shocked the world once again. As a result, he became the No. 1 knight in Taixia Country who was righteous and merciful. As a result, Zhang Tie's reputation reached a new height.
Lord Guangnan, Zhang Tie's father-in-law, was straightforward. After knowing that Zhang Tie had the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, he immediately conferred the entire Centralpillar Mountain and the land within 6,000 square miles to Zhang Tie in the name of "meritorious deed of saving human knights". It was a real "knight's bounty".
Previously, the order of Lord Guangnan's Mansion only applied to the Bazis in South Border. It also had a certain influence on the region of hundreds of millions of mountains nearby the Bazis. The farther away from the Bazis, the weaker the influence of Lord Guangnan's Mansion would be. Whereas, Centralpillar Mountain was the hinterland of barbarians in South Border. Although it belonged to the territory of Taixia Country nominally, it was independent. Previously, if the order of Lord Guangnan's Mansion reached here, the barbarians in hundreds of millions of mountains would never show respect to Lord Guangnan; neither would they admit it. However, this time, after the order of Lord Guangnan's Mansion arrived here, the barbarians in hundreds of millions of mountains expressed their support first …
