Zhang Tie had already left behind the fiercely burning Si Clan's castle in Cyan Lotus City. Being invisible, Zhang Tie was flying towards Nine Heavens Big Domain at hundreds of thousands of meters high in the sky.
At this height, there were no airboats and very few immortal generals. Additionally, it was unnecessary for Zhang Tie to race against time. Even though he met one or two immortal generals occasionally, they were far away from each other. Those immortal generals couldn't discover Zhang Tie at all. Therefore, Zhang Tie just flew at a high speed.
Zhang Tie didn't fly at his fastest speed; even so, his speed was absolutely amazing.
After saving the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect and exposing the conspiracy of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie became relaxed. As for the future of Yin-Yang Sect, Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and how human immortal palaces would deal with Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, it was none of Zhang Tie's concern. Zhang Tie could only do what he could and try his best to have a clear conscience. Zhang Tie felt that it was a bit lucky this time besides his battle strength. If His Honor Cyan Dragon and Grand Justice You were still in Cyan Dragon Palace at this moment, he would never make such a smooth trip.
Not knowing why, after leaving Cyan Lotus City, Xue Yuxiu's face had been looming in Zhang Tie's mind. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't rush back to Dragon Emperor City; instead, he directly flew towards Sunnyview River in Nine Heavens Big Domain. He wanted to fulfill that woman's last wish.
Sunnyview River was a huge river in the north of Nine Heavens Big Domain, which stretched over 6,000 miles. At Zhang Tie's current speed, it only took him less than half an hour to arrive at a mountain ridge in the north of Nine Heavens Big Domain. Sunnyview River was meandering through that mountain ridge.
Only after a flash, Zhang Tie had come to a huge rock on the bank of Sunnyview River.
The huge rock was on the riverbank. It was surrounded by woods. The riverbank was covered with blooming purple wildflowers. The river of Sunnyview River was flowing by the huge rock. The river was crystal and tranquil. There was nobody within 60 miles. Zhang Tie could only see undulating green mountains and woods, which were tranquil and beautiful.
Zhang Tie then took out some ice beads from his luggage. Closely after that, the ice beads flew out of Zhang Tie's palm and came to the middle of the river. Closely after that, the ice beads were vaporized. With a breeze, the bone ashes flew over the Sunnyview River and integrated with the flowing river. Closely after that, they could not be separated anymore.
"In your next life, I hope that you and your Senior Brother Luo can still be together. There won't be any trials and tribulations, and people who love each other will never be separated …"
Zhang Tie muttered. This was what he had promised Xue Yuxiu and the last thing that he could do for that woman.
Watching the flowing river silently, Zhang Tie felt a bit sad. Since her senior fellow apprentice Luo left this world, that woman had been living in hatred and pain. That woman had tasted all the three sufferings in life, being unable to get what she wanted, being separated by love and resentment. In order to take revenge, she would do whatever she could. Perhaps, this moment was a real relief for her.
Besides being deeply moved by Xue Yuxiu's death, Zhang Tie also understood one thing — — the control of Golden-Soul Rune Virus over immortal generals was not absolute. Now that Golden-Soul Rune Virus wanted to turn immortal generals under its control into puppets, it had to face the resistance of the self-consciousness of those immortal generals under its control. Of course, such a resistance would lead to the counterattack of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, which would lead to death.
Xue Yuxiu was not killed by Qian Changqing; instead, she was killed by the counterattack of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Although Qian Changqing's strike heavily injured her, it was not fatal. By contrast, the counterattack of Golden-Soul Rune Virus killed her in the blink of an eye.
This was a loophole of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. However, less than one person among 10,000 people might have the courage to take advantage of this loophole; because it meant committing suicide. Even immortal generals didn't have the courage to end their own lives.
That His Majesty was definitely familiar with human nature. Those who had been used to hardships or being constantly oppressed and couldn't see the future would probably commit suicide. Therefore, they would be relatively casual about their own lives. However, there were almost no immortal generals or knights who would commit suicide. Even in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie had not seen or heard that someone would commit suicide after becoming a knight. Because these people had transcendent social positions and superior lives, they had a bright future and a longer life span. Therefore, these people would cherish their lives more. Nobody would like to end their own lives unless they had to or on the battlefield.
From this point of view, even though the loophole of Golden-Soul Rune Virus existed, it wouldn't affect the control of Golden-Soul Rune Virus over those immortal generals.
Standing on the bank of Sunnyview River, Zhang Tie's mind raced. After quite a while, Zhang Tie recovered his composure as he rushed into the sky and flew towards Dragon Emperor City.
The appearance of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace was a wake-up call for Zhang Tie. It reminded Zhang Tie that there might be more dangerous figures and roles on his side besides demons. In order to deal with these challenges and dangers, Zhang Tie had no choice but to have greater battle strength.
The event of Yin-Yang Sect had come to an end for the time being. Next, Zhang Tie's top priority was to promote to a semi-sage level knight by utilizing all the favorable conditions.
On the way to Dragon Emperor City, a question suddenly occurred to Zhang Tie — — I've exposed Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to the public. Although Dark Emperor Immortal Palace doesn't know that Donder is me, I will not lead the fire of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. However, will Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace really watch the fire from the other side?
Dark Emperor Immortal Palace has four subordinate palaces. Besides Cyan Dragon Palace, Zhang Tie knew nothing about the other three palaces. In the past years, due to the disappearance of Dragon Emperor, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was like a piece of fat meat. Many human and demon forces in Motian Realm were casting covetous eyes on Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Given His Majesty's shrewdness and the style of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, why didn't he realize that it was a good opportunity? Even a sage-level knight could be recruited by His Majesty and become the lackey of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, not to mention those semi-sage elders and grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.
Based on a reasonable deduction, if Zhang Tie didn't appear and the fake Dragon Emperor didn't appear, if His Majesty could really control some elders or grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and promote one of them to a sage-level knight, that sage-level elder or grand justice would be able to take over the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. By then, the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Dragon Emperor Big Domain would be under the control of His Majesty indirectly.
It was a profitable business. Additionally, it was an important means for Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to expand its power by controlling a clan or an important figure of a clan.
This whim made Zhang Tie's heart pound at once.
