The five-color plum blossoms were in full bloom outside the window. Birds' chirps drifted from the garden from time to time. In the attic, two black invitation cards which represented the most powerful sects in Taixia Country were placed tidily on the dark red table made of acacia tree wood beside the window. The other black invitation card was fiddling with Zhang Tie.
"No need to look at it. According to the Hua tradition, iron is evil gold. Therefore, this black invitation card is made of iron. Although it's made of common material, its meaning is not common. As of now, only the top six sects in Taixia Country are qualified to send black invitation cards to their sects..."
Since the event of Gold and Power Law was exposed, even Yan Feiqing didn't treat Gold and Power Law as a sect in Taixia Country, not to mention that the top six sects had already excluded Gold and Power Law from the sects in Taixia Country.
There were only Yan Feiqing and Zhang Tie in the attic. Stroking her lower abdomen by one hand, Yan Feiqing introduced the background of the black invitation cards to Zhang Tie in a tone that had lost its calmness.
"Black invitation cards are the means for the top six sects to declare war on other sects or clans in Taixia Country. As long as the top six sects send black invitation cards, it means that the one who receives the black invitation card should either admit his mistake or fight one of them!"
"Fight one another?" After hearing this, Zhang Tie moved his eyes away from the black invitation card as he watched Yan Feiqing with a frown, "Do the two parties dispatch people to fight one another like how the ruffians in the city did?"
"Of course not. It's not necessary for knights at all. The black invitation cards of the top six sects are actually the result of the compromise between the authority of the top six sects and the authority of the imperial households of Taixia Country. The top six sects need to establish their own authority; however, the authority of Xuanyuan Hill should not be influenced by these top six sects. The top six sects could show off their battle force on the premise that Xuanyuan Hill would never allow such large-scale wars and fights between sects in Taixia Country. Otherwise, it would affect the stability of commoners and local regions and weaken the authority of the imperial households. The battles after the black invitation cards refer to the duels between powerhouses of the top six sects. At the appointed time and the appointed place, the knights of both parties would solve the problems by fists. It's like a duel until none of the parties could stand out and completely surrender. After the top six sects send out the black invitation cards, the sects that receive the black invitation cards have 100 days to make preparations …"
"They're really considerate and merciful. How could they give 100 days to the sects that receive the black invitation cards …" Zhang Tie sneered. As for the top six sects which had sage-level knights, as long as they sent out the black invitation cards, they would be as oppressive as Mount Tai. What could knights do in 100 days? Even if they could enter the tower of time, they could only let the sects that receive the black invitation cards prepare for their funeral or live in fear. "Have the top six sects sent out the black invitation cards before?"
"In the past hundreds of years, Taiyi Fantasy Sect had sent out 6 black invitation cards; Heavens Holding Pavilion had sent out 4 black invitation cards; Qionglou Pavilion had sent out 2 black invitation cards. The three major sects had sent out 12 black invitation cards in total …"
"What's the result?"
"Most of the sects or clans that received the black invitation cards have disappeared. Some of them even became the branches of the top six sects! A situation like this, three of the six major sects sending black invitations to the same sect at the same time, this kind of thing has never happened before! "
"Haha, they're really considerate. 1/5 of the 15 black invitation cards that the top three sects sent out over hundreds of years are here …" Zhang Tie said with a smile as he casually threw that black invitation card onto the table, saying, "Keep these three black invitation cards well. They could be displayed in Iron-Dragon Sect later on so that the disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect could see how Iron-Dragon Sect developed …"
"Don't you worry about that at all?"
"Didn't you say that it's just a duel between powerhouses? It's fine as long as they don't swarm you!"
Yan Feiqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh as she gritted her teeth, saying, "But this time, the sage-level knights of the top three sects would definitely help you. It's three sage-level knights. I don't know how many years it would take me to promote to a semi-sage level knight, not to mention promote to a sage-level knight. There are only a few sage-level knights across Taixia Country. Don't you worry about facing the sage-level knights of the top three sects at the same time? You know, even a heavenly knight is two levels higher than a sage-level knight."
"What's the use of worrying about that?" Zhang Tie shrugged as he said, "Do you think it's too late for me to surrender to the top three sects?"
Yan Feiqing glared at Zhang Tie as she said angrily, "It's too late. As long as you lower your head and admit your mistake to the top three sects 100 days later above Yinhai, Gobi Desert under the gaze of the public and meet all their conditions, it would be enough!"
Zhang Tie became stunned at once. Watching Yan Feiqing's look for quite a while, he rubbed his face bashfully, saying, "Erm … I'm afraid that even if I want to, your baby doesn't want to. Do you want our baby to know that he has a coward as his father? Additionally, if we lower our head this time, Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace would either perish or become the vassals of the top three sects in the future. It's absolutely impossible."
Yan Feiqing's look melted at once as she let out a sigh, saying, "If so, you'd better prepare to deal with the sage-level knights of the top three sects at the same time. You should know that sage-level knights are the most powerful beings in this age. In such a battle, the sage-level knights of the top three sects would never show mercy to you. This battle is utterly different than the compromise between you and Yun Zhongzi in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect!"
Zhang Tie watched Yan Feiqing with an amazed look. He had not imagined that the secret between him and Yun Zhongzi couldn't be concealed from Yan Feiqing at all. He had not told Yan Feiqing about it at all.
"Don't look at me like that. We've lived together in the tower of time for 6 decades. Now, I'm pregnant with your baby. Do you think that I couldn't discover any of your secrets after living with you for over 6 decades?" Yan Feiqing let out a sigh as she continued, "I don't know how you and Yun Zhongzi reached a compromise; however, I'm sure that you've not experienced the power of a sage-level knight in the realm of Yun Zhongzi. You're just a shadow knight. Even though you're a divine dominator, you can't defeat more than one sage-level knight …"
