The day when the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect would hold the sacred sacrifice was March 23, the 3585th year of Emperor NvWa's Calendar.
On this early morning, the moment the sun came out and Zhang Tie left his courtyard, he had seen an immortal general in black robe on the side of Qian Changqing waiting for him respectfully besides the two attendants of General Manager Si.
"General Manager Si, Grand Justice Qian sent me here to inquire whether the sacred sacrifice has been prepared or not!"
The immortal general in black robe treated General Manager Si very politely. Although General Manager Si was not an immortal general yet, everyone across the castle knew that he would definitely promote to an immortal general in the future. Additionally, General Manager Si was deeply trusted by His Honor and was a member of His Honor's clan. Of course, such a person would have a bright future in Cyan Dragon Palace. Nobody dared neglect him.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he said, "Please tell Grand Justice Qian that the sacrificial altar has been prepared. We could hold the sacred sacrifice on the sacrificial altar in 1 hour!"
"Okay, I will go report it right now!"
The immortal general in black robe then left.
After being silent for a short while at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Tie told an attendant on his side, "Go inform Elder Xue that we will hold the sacred sacrifice on the sacrificial altar in 1 hour!"
"Yes, sir!" The attendant answered. Closely after that, he trotted away to inform Xue Yuxiu under the gaze of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie took in a deep breath as he looked up at the sky. It was a good day in Cyan Lotus City of Woods Medium-sized Domain. In the early morning, it was cloudless. Everything was as usual in the castle.
'I wonder what would happen here after a while.'
Zhang Tie muttered inside as he walked towards the dungeon in the hinterland of the mountain.
Grand Justice Qian was worried about the sacred sacrifice. Therefore, the moment it was time, he dispatched someone to inquire about it. Actually, it was what Zhang Tie wanted. Actually, Zhang Tie couldn't wait to hold the sacred sacrifice as soon as possible so that he could save the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect as soon as possible. These days, everything went well in the castle. Nobody found that he was disguised as General Manager Si. However, as time went by, he would definitely expose himself. Additionally, there would be more variables.
Cyan Lotus City was definitely a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. He had better solve this problem when the greater part of top powers and immortal generals in Cyan Dragon Palace were not in Cyan Dragon Palace. That was the best solution.
Of course, Zhang Tie's disguise as General Manager Si was not flawless.
Take the two maids in the courtyard as an instance, although they were still serving him when he went back, Zhang Tie didn't touch them anymore. When Zhang Tie met the two maids frankly in the bathhouse, the two maids were both hypnotized by Zhang Tie as they were full of sexual desire and high tide. They "thought" that General Manager Si had touched them; actually, it was not the case at all.
This was also the only thing that Zhang Tie couldn't do after incarnating as General Manager Si. As for Zhang Tie, it was not because he was pretentious or that he kept his chastity; instead, the two female servants had a hard life. They were mostly forced to come here at the beginning and couldn't resist at all. Later on, they just accepted their fate.
On this occasion, of course, Zhang Tie couldn't tell them everything about himself, which would bring great risks to himself and the members of Yin-Yang Sect. Additionally, he couldn't escape with the two common women or bring them back to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace after saving the members of Yin-Yang Sect, neither could he teleport them into Castle of Black Iron and have them change their lives. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only not drag them into trouble; neither could he "consume" or "bully" the two poor women based on his identity. This was Zhang Tie's bottom line.
In the castle, there were many servants like the two women who didn't know the background of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Si Clan, including maids, servants, handymen, gardeners and some guards who were recruited by Si Clan in Cyan Lotus City. They didn't know that there was another dark side in this castle. As for these people, they only knew that this castle was strictly regulated. There were rules about where people could go, what they could do and what they could say. If they didn't abide by the rules, they would be severely punished. Therefore, they were all meticulous in the castle.
As for Si Clan, these people were just decorations and coverings of this castle. One of the responsibilities of General Manager Si in the castle was to keep an eye on these servants. If someone knew something that shouldn't be known, General Manager Si could have these people disappear from the world at any time. Over these years, some servants in the castle would know something by accident. Closely after that, they would disappear from the world.
After becoming General Manager Si, nobody knew it better than Zhang Tie that not everyone in this castle deserved to die. Actually, there were many innocent people here.
Because of these people, Zhang Tie didn't feel as relaxed as he looked. He even felt very contradictory and tangled.
As long as Zhang Tie saved the members of Yin-Yang Sect, the secret of this castle would be exposed. Even if Zhang Tie didn't expose it, he couldn't stop the members of Yin-Yang Sect from exposing it. Additionally, it might cause a great disturbance today. As a result, many innocent people in the castle would be involved. In the eyes of the members of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, these innocent people in the castle were not reliable anymore. However, in the eyes of outsiders, these innocent people belonged to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. After today, if these innocent people still stayed here, they would die for sure.
After today, if these innocent people still stayed here, they would definitely die. Immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect were humans, so were so many innocent people in this castle. When Zhang Tie saved the 27 immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect, he might cause more innocent people in this castle to die. Each person's life value and personality were the same. They were all born and raised by their parents. Nobody's life was more precious than anybody else. Knights were more powerful than commoners; however, they were not more advanced than commoners. How could Zhang Tie determine the value of a person's life?
As a grassroots in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie sympathized with those innocent commoners in the castle. However, as Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were loyal to him and his friends, Zhang Tie couldn't just watch them die. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt contradictory and tangled inside.
It was a dilemma for Zhang Tie.
However, as long as one was alive, he had to face such a situation. No matter how difficult and helpless it was, he had to grit his teeth and make a decision. He only wanted to do his best and not feel guilty about it …
In such a dilemma, Zhang Tie came to the dungeon in the hinterland of the mountain. However, the moment Zhang Tie entered the dungeon, he had heard that his "old acquaintance" Zhou Baifei had already arrived at the dungeon and was reminding the two female immortal generals of Yin-Yang Immortal Sect.
The two female immortal generals being interrogated by Zhou Baifei were Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin …
