If Zhang Tie had not recovered his battle strength, of course, he could ignore the black invitation cards of the three major sects aboveboard. However, everything had its advantages and disadvantages. Zhang Tie had not imagined that after he completely recovered his battle strength in the Dongtian and performed a play with Yun Zhongzi, the three major sects could find a chance to attack him at once.
The honor and reputation of Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace didn't belong to Zhang Tie alone. No matter what, Zhang Tie would never allow others to trample on the reputation of Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace.
Watching Zhang Tie's look, Mr. Fang let out a sigh inside as he thought that Zhang Tie didn't understand it. "Superficially, the three major sects expressed that they wanted to solve the old scores with you; actually, the three major sects have already intervened in the scramble for the throne of Taixia Country and made a choice between the third prince and the ninth prince. As you support the crown prince, you've become the thorn in the eyes of the three major sects. They want to suppress you. Although His Majesty doesn't know which prince the three major sects have colluded with for the time being, he's already assigned people to investigate it. It will not take long for him to get the clue."
Zhang Tie just knew the existence of Imperial Alliance by chance; however, this Mr. Fang could instantly figure out the secret of the black invitation cards of the three major sects. 'There's really a powerhouse on the side of the crown prince.'
Zhang Tie thought as he looked so amazed that Mr. Fang couldn't find any loophole. "You mean there's a scramble for the throne behind the black invitation cards of the three major sects?" "Right. Therefore, the black invitation cards of Iron-Dragon Sect are not related to immortal alone.
The so-called black invitation cards of Iron-Dragon Sect are not imperial decrees or laws. To put it bluntly, it's just a rule among sects in Taixia Country. If immortal could bear it for a short while and take a step back now, even if you're ridiculed by others, you would definitely make it up one day. Heroes should be flexible. Sometimes, you could even bear the humiliation, not to mention such a small hurdle. When immortal promotes to a heavenly knight or a sage-level knight in the future, given your battle strength, who else in the world could defeat immortal? Immortal is on your side; instead of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion. Therefore, they couldn't wait … "
Zhang Tie watched Mr. Fang with a calm look, "His Majesty wants me to escape …"
It's like a battle between two armies. Although cornered beasts are brave, judging the situation is also a wise move. His Majesty regards immortal as a good teacher and helpful friend. On this occasion, His Majesty doesn't want immortal to be involved in the conflict between the three top sects for no reason; neither does he want immortal to be in danger 100 days later. Therefore, His Majesty assigns me to persuade immortal in Iron-Dragon Sect! " Mr. Fang said, "As long as Perfected Immortal agrees to leave temporarily, His Highness the Crown Prince will deal with the aftermath for you!"
"I wonder how Your Highness plans to deal with the aftermath?"
"The investigation result of Great Wilderness Sect is a chess piece. If immortal leaves, His Majesty would definitely make use of the event of Great Wilderness Sect to deter the three major sects from taking action for fear of breaking the vases. This is only one reason!"
"What's the second reason?" Zhang Tie asked out of interest.
"His Majesty has a daughter who is 16 years old. She's His Majesty's pearl. As Your Majesty knows that Perfected Immortal has 3 sons in Heavens Fortune Sect, His Majesty would like to marry his daughter to one of Perfected Immortal's sons. From then on, Zhang Clan of Jinwu Palace would be the relatives of the emperor of Taixia Country. Even if Perfected Immortal leaves Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace for the time being, the three top sects would not dare hurt Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace anymore!"
Zhang Tie was really shocked by the crown prince's second trick. It was not a trivial thing to marry a member of the imperial household no matter where it was. Even a prince's marriage would have a far-reaching influence, not to mention the crown prince's marriage. According to the rule, if the crown prince ascended to the throne one day, marrying the crown prince was equal to marrying Emperor Xuanyuan in the future, which would have a great influence. As long as Jinwu Palace became a member of the imperial household of Taixia Country, Jinwu Palace would almost be unrivaled in Taixia Country.
Zhang Tie didn't agree right away; instead, he watched Mr. Fang with a smile, "Your Majesty, are you so sure that I have no chance to win the duel 100 days later?"
Mr. Fang threw a glance at Zhang Tie. Closely after that, he took out a brocade box and opened it. There was a piece of bizarre black crystal in the brocade box. Meanwhile, there was a small tag on the surface of the bizarre crystal with a golden wire.
Mr. Fang passed the brocade box to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie picked up the crystal and took a look at it. It was a bit like a secret knowledge crystal; however, it was a bit heavier. One end of the crystal was covered with a layer of mithril. There was a master-level consolidating rune on the surface of the mithril. This rune could prevent the crystal from being easily damaged. The label and the golden wire were penetrated through a small hole on the mithril.
Zhang Tie took a look at the tag and found three lines of clear, dense words on the tag.
The line of words on the tag was — — Pavilion 367, Building Mao, Secret Characters Department, Treasures and Literature Department, Emperor Xuanyuan Hill, Taixia Country.
The line below the tag was — — On the 763rd year of Black Iron Calendar, Taiyi Old Man fought in the Deities Realm in the Earth-elements Realm.
There were only some keywords at the bottom of the tag — — sage-level aiding knight, Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Real Sun Flame.
At the sight of it, Zhang Tie had known that it was a confidential file from the Archives of the imperial households of Taixia Country. It might be brought here by Mr. Fang at the request of the crown prince.
Like reading a crystal of a secret book, Zhang Tie injected his spiritual energy into it. In a split second, a dynamic scene appeared in Zhang Tie's mind sea like watching a movie before the Catastrophe.
The scene was from a person's perspective, which was very vivid. He was flying at a high speed in the sky — — no, not flying, but chasing. Because Zhang Tie saw a figure fighting this person at the same high speed. The powerful sword qi penetrated tens of thousands of meters in the air like a crescent moon higher than 100 m and swept towards Zhang Tie in an overwhelming manner. As the scene flickered, it changed. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had moved thousands of meters away like teleportation. As a result, the sword qi missed the target and fell onto the ground, causing a huge gully as long as thousands of meters.
At the sight of such a great power and such a scene, Zhang Tie couldn't help being thrilled and shocked.
Through a glimpse, Zhang Tie found that it was a demon. Given its power, it was definitely a sage-level knight.
Being able to fight a sage-level knight was also a sage-level knight. After dodging away from the sage-level knight's strike, that person rubbed his hands, causing a thunder-like shock in the air. In the shock, numerous dense light spots like stars appeared in the air within dozens of miles. Those light spots surrounded the demon knight. The moment they appeared, they had shot towards the sage-level demon knight like tens of thousands of meteors.
A full moon appeared on the body of the sage-level demon knight and flew towards the tens of thousands of meteors.
The violent explosion, the scene that happened in a thousandth of a second, the dazzling changes, the flying, the 360-degree rotation of the sky and the ground, the earth-shattering exchange, bombardment, and collision …
The scenes changed too fast. If it was a commoner, he might feel dizzy at the sight of such a sharp scene. He would not know what was inside at all. Even common knights might not be able to keep up with the speed of the scene.
However, Zhang Tie didn't feel dizzy; instead, he just felt a bit thirsty. Because it was a battle between two top sage-level knights.
As the two sage-level knights fought each other, they moved rapidly. Only after a short while, they had already flown thousands of miles away and entered another battle zone.
As the sage-level knight rotated his sight and attention, a scene suddenly appeared in front of him, zoomed in and focused …
It was a sage-level human knight with silver hair and a grim look. He was fighting a sage-level demon knight in the air. At the same time, a heavenly demon knight was flying towards the battlefield from hundreds of miles away. When the scene focused on the old man at once, a light suddenly appeared over the old man. Closely after that, the entire space turned dark red like a furnace. In the dark red, the two sage-level demon knights who were besieging the old man flew backward at the same time. Meanwhile, a crack appeared in the Elements Realm beside the old man while numerous fiery fire elements poured down from the Elements Realm like a halo and a storm. As a result, the entire space rocked for a short while. Even the scene from hundreds of miles away couldn't help but tremble twice …
When the halo of fire elements swept over that sage-level demon knight who was flying backward rapidly, a black light curtain surged over him and covered him like a huge cocoon. At the sight of the light curtain and the cocoon, Zhang Tie had been familiar with it. It seemed to be a change of the realm of sage-level knight.
The fire elements pouring down from the Elements Realm didn't stop. The element storm was just the first wave. As more and more fire elements gathered, they constantly accumulated and caused qualitative changes. Closely after that, a burning blue sun appeared behind that human sage-level knight. The blue sun's high temperature could even twist the space …
A human sage-level knight pointed at the heavenly demon knight. Although it was over 60 miles away, the heavenly demon knight who had just arrived here had turned around and started to escape. At the same time, three blue flames came out of nowhere and surrounded the heavenly demon knight, burning it as much as possible.
The heavenly demon knight released its protective battle qi in vain. Facing the blue flames, the heavenly demon knight's protective battle qi, black armor, sawtooth-shaped weapon and its entire body were burning.
The heavenly demon knight shrieked miserably as it rushed into a bizarre green lake. In the blink of an eye, it flew out of the bizarre green lake and crashed into a mountain range. Closely after that, it penetrated through the cliff of the mountain range while its flames didn't die out either …
The silver-haired, gloomy human sage-level human knight turned around and threw a cold glance at Zhang Tie. Closely after that, his eyes flickered as he chased after that sage-level demon knight who was flying backward.
The whole process seemed long, but it only took a few seconds.
The scene continued to rotate. After a few minutes, the scene finally caught up with that heavenly demon knight along the burning blue flame. However, the heavenly demon knight had already become a pile of burning ashes on the ground …
The scene turned dark.
Zhang Tie also exited his spiritual energy from that piece of crystal with a shocked look, "What's this …"
"As long as you promote to a sage-level knight, you would be able to copy what you see in this crystal. This crystal is what a sage-level knight in the imperial palace of Xuanyuan Hill saw in the Earth-elements Realm. Less than 10 people across Xuanyuan Hill were qualified to see the scene in this crystal. Additionally, the items in the Treasured Runes Case of the imperial palace are forbidden to be taken out of the imperial palace. This time, His Majesty gave it to me and asked me to show it to immortal!" Mr. Fang said calmly as he slightly waved his feather fan. Closely after that, he picked up a teacup and had a sip of tea water. After that, Mr. Fang frowned as a bit of surprise flashed across his face. After looking at the teacup for a couple of seconds, he moved his eyes onto Zhang Tie, saying, "Immortal, what you saw just now was the power of the aiding skill of Taiyi Old Man, a sage-level knight of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. The aiding skill of Taiyi Old Man is called Real Sun Flame. We've already received the news that if immortal accepts the black invitation cards, the three major sects would recommend a sage-level knight to fight immortal. Taiyi Old Man would represent the three major sects. Immortal, do you think you could survive such a sage-level knight …"
Zhang Tie closed his eyes as he knocked the table by hand. Closely after that, the room fell into absolute quietness. Although it was only a few minutes, it felt as long as a few hours.
The tea seemed a bit special. Therefore, Mr. Fang couldn't stand having a few more mouthfuls of it. Meanwhile, he waited for Zhang Tie's decision.
After a short while, Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he stopped knocking the table. Closely after that, he clenched his fist and put it on the table, saying, "Mr. Fang, please tell His Majesty that I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness. I will repay you for sure. However, now that they've already come here and are ready to confront us with sabers and swords, Zhang Tie would never shrink back!"
Mr. Fang watched Zhang Tie with a bit dumbfounded look as he saw Zhang Tie's unshakable determination and will in Zhang Tie's eyes …
…
Half an hour later, Mr. Fang boarded the airboat once again. Before leaving Iron-Dragon Sect, he took 5 kg's specialty tea leaves of Iron-Dragon Sect that Zhang Tie gifted him. Meanwhile, he had a question — — why didn't Immortal Qianji flinch back after seeing the aiding strength of Taiyi Old Man?
It was Mr. Fang's first time to feel that someone was so unpredictable. Zhang Tie became a hot, hard mist in his heart …
