It soon came to January 28, the last day before the duel between Zhang Tie and the top three sects.
The representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion, Qionglou Pavilion, Heavens Fortune Sect, Demons-kill Valley, Gold and Power Law and all the major sects, sects and clans in Taixia Country had already arrived. Even the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect had arrived; however, they still didn't see Zhang Tie. Therefore, the atmosphere across Yinhai became weird.
After the event of Han Zhengfang, Gold and Power Law had been silent for 2 years. It was always in a low position and was almost excluded by the top sects and knights in Taixia Country. However, Gold and Power Law appeared in Yinhai, Gobi Desert in a pretty high-profile.
Compared to the other sects and clans who only sent one airboat to Yinhai, Gold and Power Law dispatched 6 airboats to Yinhai. Each airboat was longer than 1,000 m, which was majestic and unrivaled. The airboats of Gold and Power Law had surpassed the airboats of the other top sects.
After the six airboats arrived at Yinhai, they were divided into two groups, three in each group. They joined each other in the air and formed a huge air platform. Additionally, they were not far away from each other. The two huge air platforms were open to all the human knights at present for free. Anyone who could board an airboat could enjoy free drinks and accommodation on the airboat. After the match, if you like, you could even have an airboat carry you out of the Gobi Desert so as to avoid your tiring journey.
The arrival of the six airboats of Gold and Power Law brought good news to those independent knights and made Yinhai more boisterous. Almost on the first day since the six airboats arrived, the air platforms composed of the six airboats had become the most boisterous place above Yinhai. Tens of thousands of knights were gathering near the two air platforms composed of the six airboats. They were enjoying the super free service provided by Gold and Power Law and exchanging messages with each other. They were waiting for the arrival of Immortal Qianji. Some of them even placed bets on the airboats for the result of the competition between sects' black invitation cards.
In this case, only a rich organization like Gold and Power Law was qualified to be the banker and accept the bets of so many knights.
This time, they only accepted element crystals. The odds were 1: 3 for Zhang Tie and 3: 1 for the three top sects. As for a tie, there was no such bet at all. As the three top sects had sent out black invitation cards, they would not stop until the winner was determined.
All the decks on the top of the airboats of Gold and Power Law were opened. When the decks of the three airboats were connected with each other, they became the knights' square in the sky. A lot of knights arrived here, making it very boisterous.
On the afternoon of the 28th of January, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the air was scorching hot. The glare from above was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. The sky of the Gobi Desert was like a steamer basket, and the Gobi Desert under one's feet was filled with steaming hot air.
However, the atmosphere on the decks of the airboats of Gold and Power Law was hotter than this.
The top sects had arrived yesterday; however, Zhang Tie had not shown up until today. On the deck of the airboat, especially at the stalls for placing bets, a lot of knights were gathering there and discussing about the rolling bets on the deck.
"Argh, do you think Immortal Qianji won't show up? The duel is going to break out tomorrow. Why hasn't Immortal Qianji shown up yet …"
"According to the news from Iron-Dragon Sect, Immortal Qianji is in secluded cultivation. He will definitely arrive here before the duel …"
"What a hero Immortal Qianji is! He didn't even flinch facing the army of hundreds of millions of demons at the bank of Weishui River. Such a scene could never scare Immortal Qianji …"
"Yes, I also think so. Immortal Qianji has seen the so-called sage-level knights. A few days ago, Immortal Qianji had fought a sage-level knight in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border and escaped safe and sound. Even the sage-level knights of the top three sects could not scare Immortal Qianji …"
"It's different. This duel might be a life-and-death duel. Someone said a couple of days ago that if Immortal Qianji was smart enough to not show up at this moment, even if he had to bear a bad reputation for the time being, when he promoted to a heavenly knight or a sage-level knight, he would still be able to get his revenge!"
"If Immortal Qianji doesn't show up, what about Iron-Dragon Sect? As Taiyi Fantasy Sect has already sent black invitation cards, if Immortal Qianji escaped at this moment, he would not be afraid of being ridiculed. Would the top three sects let go of Iron-Dragon Sect?"
"Hehheh, don't forget that Immortal Qianji has body-changing immortal bloodline and a lot of secret methods. If Immortal Qianji doesn't show up, the top three sects would never do anything to Iron-Dragon Sect. If a divine dominator wanted to retaliate against Immortal Qianji by any means, none of the top three sects could bear it. Therefore, the top three sects sent black invitation cards and wanted to have a duel with Immortal Qianji here …"
"You're right. It seems that even if Immortal Qianji doesn't show up, we don't need to be too surprised!"
When those knights near the betting booth were in a heated discussion, a crispy voice drifted over, which covered the buzzing discussion.
"My dad will come for sure!"
All the knights became silent in a split second as they turned around at the same time. Closely after that, they saw three teenagers flying towards here from afar and landing on the deck.
The 3 teenagers looked similar to each other. They were as tall as each other. They seemed to be brothers. They were all handsome teenagers at 14 or 15 years old. They looked too young, shockingly young. They didn't look like knights at all. However, they were knights. Therefore, all the knights on the deck were shocked. What was more shocking was the words of the teenager — — My dad will come for sure!
'Are they the sons of Immortal Qianji?'
They had long heard that Immortal Qianji had a powerful bloodline and his sons were all talented. However, nobody could imagine that Immortal Qianji's sons had already promoted to knights at such a young age. Even in the top 6 sects, those who could promote to knights at 20 years old were already geniuses among geniuses. 'Is Immortal Qianji's bloodline really so powerful that his sons could promote to knights at such a young age?'
As all the knights were too shocked, the deck became quiet when Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei walked towards them. Everybody just watched them and forgot what they were going to say.
Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei walked to the stall. After exchanging a glance with each other, Zhang Chenglei directly slapped an authorization document onto the table. Closely after that, he told a staff of Gold and Power Law behind the stall in a muffled voice, "Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect bet 100,000 earth-element crystals and 100,000 water-element crystals on my dad Immortal Qianji …"
This sentence finally "awakened" all the surrounding knights as they uttered an uproar.
This was the largest bet that Gold and Power Law had received since the beginning of the competition. Therefore, the staff behind the stall dared not accept it as he hurriedly called the steward here …
…
At the same time, in the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect, Yan Feiqing whose belly had been bulging was sitting on the main seat, accompanied by Mountain Lifting Immortal, Bai Suxian and the others on her side. Watching the representatives of major sects in Northeast Military Region, Yan Feiqing said in a calm yet unquestionable tone, "Master will come for sure …"
…
On the deck of the airboat of Demons-kill Valley, Pandora had been standing here for one day and one night. She was watching the east of the airboat with a smile as if she was waiting for something. One day and one night might be very long for others; however, it was nothing for Pandora who had experienced a long wait in the tower of time. She was waiting with full of expectation and hope.
"Darling granddaughter, you've already stood here for one day. Are you going to keep standing here if he doesn't come?" Wu Dingtian appeared behind Pandora as he said helplessly.
Thankfully, Pandora was a knight with a normal brain. If it was another woman, Wu Dingtian would doubt whether that woman had a problem with her brain.
"He will come for sure!" Pandora said firmly, "I can feel that he will come for sure. He must know that I'm waiting for him here …"
"Didn't he have someone deliver your remote-sensing communications finger ring to you? Have you contacted him?"
"No need to contact him. Grandpa, don't you know that there's a tacit understanding?"
Facing love, even sage-level knights couldn't do that. The moment Wu Dingtian wanted to say something, he suddenly sensed something. With a frown, he turned around and looked towards the east at once.
Not only Wu Dingtian, all the other sage-level knights at the bank of Yinhai Desert also raised their eyebrows as they looked towards the east at the same time.
It's the east of Shazhou Province — —
…
After penetrating through thousands of miles' thick cumulonimbus clouds like a supersonic shell at a supersonic speed from tens of thousands of meters high, Zhang Tie finally saw the long-awaited sunshine.
The matching result of the map in his mind instantly told him that he was in Suizhou Province. The Gobi Desert was in front of him. Many people were waiting for him there, including Pandora.
Although nobody had told Zhang Tie that Pandora was waiting for him over there, Zhang Tie felt that Pandora was waiting for him with full expectations. Perhaps, Pandora was looking at the east and expecting Zhang Tie's arrival...
With a long roar, Zhang Tie's speed increased by two times once again. In the blink of an eye, he had reached over 10,000 m per second.
He canceled the effect of the Concealment Spell, no longer hiding his aura, and released all of his mental strength …
The high-speed shock wave and vibration spread in the air at the speed of over 30 times the speed of sound. As a result, the air around Zhang Tie seemed to be on fire. Under the control of Zhang Tie's spiritual energy, Zhang Tie condensed the moisture in the air and clouds within tens of thousands of meters in the air and turned them into a colorful rainbow …
Under the illumination from above, Zhang Tie flew towards the Yinhai of the Gobi Desert, riding the deafening thunder …
On the ground, numerous people in the cities, villages and towns across Suizhou Province and on the airships and airboats in the sky were raising their heads as they listened to the ear-splitting thunders and watched the long rainbow crossing the sky with a dumbfounded look as if they were dreaming …
In less than 1 hour, all the knights near Yinhai Desert had been in an uproar as they looked at the east.
In the eastern sky, the clouds that were originally floating in the sky shattered one after another. They changed color, evaporated, and transformed into seven-colored auspicious clouds. Within these auspicious clouds, a long rainbow spanned tens of thousands of li. It was like the legendary Celestial Emperor driving a war chariot as it pierced through the sun...
"Immortal Qianji is coming …"
Pandora revealed a smile on the airboat of Demons-kill Valley. Closely after that, she rose into the sky and flew towards the long rainbow in a black phoenix …
