When tens of thousands of battle qi smokes and tornadoes rushed into the sky, the three old men on top of the airboat of Taiyi Fantasy Sect were also watching the battle qi smokes hundreds of miles away as they faintly frowned with deep eyes …
Not until Zhang Tie met his family members and the knights of Iron-Dragon Sect did the overwhelming battle qi smokes and tornadoes gradually dissipate did the three old men exchange a glance with each other. After that, they returned to the backroom of the airboat at the same time and sat down together.
Old Man Taiyi, the master of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, was in a black and white robe with a pattern of primordial Tai Chi on the front of his robe. His eyebrows and hair had been as white as silver; however, his face didn't have a wrinkle at all. In a primitive heavenly crown, his nose was like an eagle's beak while his eyes were like cold stars. He was giving out a looming, mysterious qi. Given his look, Zhang Tie knew that he was an extremely powerful figure.
Heavenly Hunyuan the owner of Heavens Holding Pavilion had white hair and black eyebrows. His inky black eyebrows were as sharp as sabers. Only by throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie would feel that he was being chopped by two huge sabers. Heavenly Hunyuan was wearing a sky-blue Taoist robe. He would always fiddle with a glassy Heavens Ruler, which was very famous in Taixia Country as the top treasure of Heavens Holding Pavilion and one of the few known golden secret items across Taixia Country. It was said that it had great power.
Shenkong Grand Master the head of Qionglou Pavilion was the only bald one among the three people. Shenkong Grand Master was also an immortal craftsman rune instrument manufacturing master in Taixia Country. He was very famous in Taixia Country. Not knowing whether it was because of his cultivation method or something else, Shenkong Grand Master was always covered with clouds and mist. Besides his face, the greater part of his body was covered with changing clouds and mist, making him look mysterious and unpredictable. Additionally, he always lowered his eyes, making him look kind and benevolent.
After the three people took a seat, Old Man Taiyi threw a glance at the other two people as he asked in a muffled voice, "I wonder whether you still think it's too early to send a black invitation card to Immortal Qianji?"
"I've not imagined that Immortal Qianji could be so popular at such a young age. With a wave of his arm, he could gather over 10,000 knights. That's really terrifying …" Shenkong Old Man let out a sigh.
Nobody else knew the meaning of Zhang Tie's reputation and connections better than the three sage-level knights who were at the peak of cultivation. Zhang Tie's reputation and connections were not given by others; instead, Zhang Tie earned them step by step. Since Zhang Tie came to Taixia Country and became famous in the White Tiger Complex in Youzhou Province, he destroyed the Heavens Reaching Church and escaped to the Earth-elements Realm, after being punished for his crimes, he developed Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and produced Fiery Oil, he took charge of the Western Theater of Operations, the battle at the bank of Weishui River and the recent battle in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border. It could be said that over these years, Zhang Tie's deeds in each identity and each place were impeccable in terms of moral standing and ability. Because of this, Zhang Tie had accumulated such a great prestige among knights that nobody could easily shake him.
In normal times, moral standing and prestige didn't work; however, at the critical moment, Zhang Tie could gather an overwhelming force with the assistance of capable people and become an influential force across Taixia Country. He could even control the destiny of the entire country at the critical moment. Zhang Tie might not have discovered this hidden ability; however, many people who had made great achievements in the past had the same experience as Zhang Tie before they made great achievements.
However, such a person was opposing the Imperial Alliance, which was something that the Imperial Alliance would never allow.
"Thankfully, it's not too late. Let's make up for it …" Heavenly Hunyuan's eyes were full of killing intent as he said, "Those who obey me will live; those who oppose me will die. As Emperor Xuanyuan is not here, who else across Taixia Country could defeat us? We've spared him a chance; however, if he insists on standing against us and blocking our way, we have to be sworn enemies …" After saying that, Heavenly Hunyuan sneered as he told Taiyi Old Man, "Perhaps they still think that you're the representative of the three major sects and are thinking about how to deal with your Real Sun Flame …"
"Thank you, Heavenly Hunyuan …"
Heavenly Hunyuan nodded as he patted his palm twice with his Heavens-Measuring Ruler. Closely after that, he let out a sigh as he said, "If only we could kill Zhang Tie in such a way. However, we have to consider the responses of all parties. Therefore, we chose the battlefield above Yinhai, Gobi Desert. Additionally, if we want to make it look like an accident, we have to sacrifice at least 10 pieces of precious space-teleportation equipment. What a pitiful thing …"
"Given Zhang Tie's current foundation and reputation, if we kill him by force, we would be the target of all the others. Xuanyuan Hill, Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley would never let us go. As a result, we would face numerous obstacles. As long as we treat this event as an accident, all the problems would be solved. When we conquer Jinwu Palace in the future, such a bit loss would be nothing!" Taiyi Old Man said calmly.
"That Lan Yunxi has already arrived at Datang City …" Shenkong Old Man said as he lowered his eyes, "After marrying Lan Yunxi, the third prince would have a relationship with Huaiyuan Palace. When Zhang Tie is not there, we can disintegrate Iron-Dragon Sect. Given the complex relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Jinwu Palace, we could dig out the death of Zhang Taixuan. By then, we would have a good reason to annex Jinwu Palace and control Fiery Oil and all-purpose medicament. However, there's one variable — — Lan Yunxi doesn't know the relationship between us and the third prince. If she knows it, she might not submit to us in the future. We have to make a plan for it in advance …"
"The Dao we seek is that whoever stands in front of us is our enemy, and if they are our enemies, then they deserve to die!" Taiyi Old Man said coldly, "By then, Taiyi Fantasy Sect would solve the problem of Lan Yunxi. Don't worry about it too much!"
"That's good, that's good …" Shenkong Old Man suddenly raised his head and took a look at Taiyi Old Man with a smile, saying, "We've not seen each other for a long time. It seems that you've made progress in your cultivation base. Have you already touched the threshold …"
Heavenly Hunyuan's eyes sparkled as he also looked at Taiyi Old Man.
Taiyi Old Man looked calm as he said, "Of course, you two know what's happening in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. As we share the same fate, how could I go against the heavens alone? As long as Taixia Country doesn't become our ideal country, we could barely make a breakthrough in our cultivation bases. The so-called progress is just that I've comprehended some secret methods in Taiyi Sutra …"
Shenkong Old Man didn't speak anymore; instead, he lowered his eyes as a weird light flashed across his eyes. Heavenly Hunyuan also took a look at Shenkong Old Man silently.
The backroom of the three sage-level knights became silent in a split second …
…
At the same time, soon after Zhang Tie returned to the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect, out of Zhang Tie's imagination, some figures came to visit Zhang Tie at the same time …
