After Wu Qiankun left Yangxin Palace, Zhang Tie emptied his mind and meditated in Yangxin Palace.
One of the most important reasons that Zhang Tie chose to build another Forbidden City in Motian Realm was that Zhang Tie felt that Forbidden City was full of Hua culture and tradition. For instance, the word "Yangxin" could extend to a lot of principles of moral cultivation. In the world where Zhang Tie came from, such a profound cultural background was the foundation for Hua people to be unrivaled in the world where Zhang Tie came from.
Each brick, wood, house and tile in Forbidden City even the names of those palaces carried a special charm. As for a person who left his hometown, Zhang Tie missed this charm and felt reassured. At least, he didn't feel that lonely anymore.
Pitifully, after less than 10 minutes after Wu Qiankun left Yangxin Palace, Zhang Tie had heard Leng Manxue's familiar footsteps again.
"Your Majesty, this is the work report of Qianji Agency over the past one month!"
Leng Manxue said the last four words a bit awkwardly as she was not used to it. Because the word "work report" was invented by Zhang Tie. Additionally, it was also one of the tasks that Zhang Tie assigned to her. As the general manager of Forbidden City, Leng Manxue had to keep an eye on Zhang Tie while keeping an eye on the operation of Qianji Agency and the five major departments.
Rubbing his forehead, Zhang Tie opened his eyes as he found there was an item on the table in front of him.
Zhang Tie picked up the report on the table and started to read it.
The report was about what happened in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace over the past one month. It was written in chronological order like the title of a newspaper. Below it were brief explanations. Only after a glance at it, Zhang Tie had got a general idea about the operation of Qianji Agency over the past 40-odd days.
In Zhang Tie's opinion, what was on the report was trivial.
Some of the things that Qianji Agency dealt with in the report were related to the transfer of positions of some immortal palaces and immortal generals. All the immortal generals being transferred were earth immortal generals who had served Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for a long time. Some of them were allocated by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for road repair, city repair, the expansion of some flying lizard farms in Dragon Emperor Big Domain, and some were used for disaster relief. Dragon Emperor Big Domain was so large that it contained so many cities. Earthquakes, floods, strong winds and mountain fires were unavoidable. Each year, many places would encounter such disasters. In this case, Dragon Emperor City would allocate funds for relief.
According to the report, some areas in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain near Brokenstars Ocean suffered a wind disaster at the end of July.
Zhang Tie only skimmed over the other information on the report; however, he threw more glances at this disaster out of concern.
More than ten cities were hit by the disaster, with tens of millions of people affected. More than a hundred thousand people were missing or injured, and countless houses had collapsed …
Watching those cities being hit by the disaster, Zhang Tie recalled the messy scene after the strong wind as he let out a sigh inside. In many cases, even a sage-level knight was as weak as an ant in front of the power of the universe. Even though Zhang Tie had great abilities, he could only deal with the aftermath well.
Thankfully, Earth-Treasures Department, Immortal Generals Department and Qianji Agency had already made responses in time. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about anything. All he could do was to deal with the aftermath well.
"Do the areas in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain near Brokenstars Ocean often suffer from wind disasters?" Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue as he read the report.
"Not often. The situation in Brokenstars Ocean is very weird and dangerous. We've not encountered such a big wind disaster for over 10 years!"
"Hmm … there was an earthquake in Yulin City, Jade Brilliance City and Yellow Dragon City on August 6th …" Zhang Tie slightly frowned when he saw another message. However, when he found that the three cities didn't suffer a great loss or casualty and Qianji Agency had already made an appropriate response, Zhang Tie relaxed his frown.
At the end of the report, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had also received the message about the relic of Rune Emperor in Dark Valley. After discussion, some elders of Qianji Agency decided to have Earth-Treasures Department dispatch some immortal generals to Dark Valley for investigation. As to whether Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would participate in the scramble for it had not been decided yet.
After reading the report, it only took Zhang Tie a few minutes to master the operation of Qianji Agency over the past 40-odd days.
After reading it, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside, 'It's really not easy to be the head of a clan; especially such a big clan like Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Closely after that, Zhang Tie felt lucky. Thankfully, I've established Qianji Agency and straightened out the internal authority of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Otherwise, I would have no time to cultivate if I had to deal with these affairs all day long.'
"Thanks for your hard work. I'll make the report in this way …" Zhang Tie told Leng Manxue as he put down the report. After raising his head, Zhang Tie found that Leng Manxue was watching him with a weird and inquisitive look. Zhang Tie touched his face as he asked, "What? Is there a flower on my face?"
"No!" Leng Manxue shook her head as she suddenly let out a sigh, "Wu Qiankun is here on behalf of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, right?"
Zhang Tie became slightly stunned. Closely after that, he nodded frankly as he replied, "I've not imagined that you've already known it!"
"When Wu Qiankun met Your Majesty for the first time, he came with the immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace. This time, he came to see Your Majesty with some heavy iron boxes. Additionally, the immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace didn't come here. I guess that Your Majesty has already reached a compromise with Star Emperor Immortal Palace. Emperor NvWa Palace and Wu Qiankun are just the middlemen!"
"They've indeed reached a compromise. From then on, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace would mind our own business. The old scores would be written off. After all, if we continue to fight with them, it would bring no benefit to anyone; instead, demons would benefit from it!"
"Benefit from it?" Leng Manxue slightly frowned. Given the context of Zhang Tie's words, she could almost guess the meaning of "benefit from it". However, she didn't know what it meant.
Watching Leng Manxue's look, Zhang Tie instantly remembered that there should be no such story in Motian Realm. Therefore, he blurted it out carelessly again.
"Ahem … ahem … it means … it means to let demons watch the show and take advantage of it!" Zhang Tie hurriedly added.
"Indeed, if demons know that Your Majesty and Star Emperor Immortal Palace traded with living demon generals, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Your Majesty would definitely suffer from the revenge of demons. I'm afraid that the elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would also complain about it!" Leng Manxue suddenly told Zhang Tie using her battle qi.
"You know that?" Zhang Tie watched Leng Manxue with an amazed look. As the keys of those safes were still in his hand, Leng Manxue couldn't open them at all. How did she know that?
"Your Majesty, don't be surprised. I know it because it's related to the ancestral bloodline that I've awakened. As long as a living demon approaches me, I could sense it passively even though there's a restrictive spell. When I arranged people to send those iron safes to the foot of Jiaotai Palace, the moment I approached those iron safes, my ancestral bloodline had responded a bit. I tried it for a few times and got the same result. Therefore, I knew that there should be demon generals in those iron safes!"
Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile as he had not imagined that Leng Manxue could awaken her ancestral bloodline. Previously, he thought that the trade was secret; however, it was discovered by someone at a stroke.
"You're the second one who knows it in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. The fewer people who know it, the better!" Zhang Tie warned Leng Manxue with a bit warning.
Leng Manxue nodded as she warned Zhang Tie solemnly, "Your Majesty, you might not know what kind of person Star Emperor is. No matter what trade you've made with Star Emperor, you'd better keep an eye on him. Among all the human powers, Star Emperor is the shrewdest. He could almost match Versatile Demon Emperor. Additionally, he has endless means. Across Motian Realm, numerous powers have been killed by Star Emperor …"
"Well, I see. Thanks for your warning …" Zhang Tie took a serious look at Leng Manxue as he nodded. Closely after that, he stood up, saying, "Well, I'll go back to Palace of Heavenly Purity. Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare a supper for me …"
After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he took a bath, changed his clothes, and arranged a few matters. After eating a sumptuous dinner to his heart's content, the trace of exhaustion that he had felt after continuously cultivating for over a month had already disappeared without a trace.
After letting out a sigh, Zhang Tie finished his supper. After that, he came to Jiaotai Palace and moved the 5 safes into the backroom before continuing his cultivation.
In such a cultivation, the five demon knights' wind chakras were broken and absorbed by Zhang Tie one after another …
