"Dark Emperor Immortal Palace? Why haven't I heard about it?"
Sitting on the dragon chair in Yangxin Palace, Zhang Tie was watching the 7 elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace with a curious look with a slight frown.
At this moment, the seven elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, namely Luo Yunshang, Xia Yangming, Shi Zhongyu, Hou Moyuan, Wang Laisheng, Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng had already gathered here. All the seven elders were watching Zhang Tie. None of them could find any loophole from Zhang Tie's look. It seemed that Zhang Tie had heard this news for the first time.
"Today, Elder Wang, Elder Ying, and I were on duty at Qianji Agency. After receiving the urgent news from the Square Yard, we felt that it was a serious matter, so we called all the elders here to inform His Majesty and discuss countermeasures!" Luo Yunshang who looked pretty dignified with a round face, phoenix-like eyes and a high bun opened her mouth while the other 7 elders nodded solemnly.
"Dark Emperor Immortal Palace is related to demons and Versatile Demon Emperor. What they want is not trivial. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace has to pay attention to it!" Ying Gucheng opened his mouth.
"How's Si Clan in Woods Medium-sized Domain?" Zhang Tie asked solemnly.
"Since the event in Cyan Lotus City a few days ago, all the backbones of Si Clan have disappeared. Force Emperor Immortal Palace, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Emperor NvWa Palace have already dispatched a lot of powers to Woods Medium-sized Domain to confiscate the properties of Si Clan and trace the whereabouts of the immortal generals and backbones of Si Clan. Besides Si Clan, the other clans and Heavenly Sunshine Immortal Palace in Woods Medium-sized Domain are also involved in it. The entire Woods Medium-sized Domain is in chaos …" Elder Wang Laisheng said in a muffled voice.
"Why did Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace respond so fast?"
"It's said that some disciples of Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace have been caught by Si Clan and imprisoned in the dungeon beneath Si Clan's castle. They were tortured. On that day when Si Clan was in chaos, these people were saved by that mysterious powerhouse who exposed the background of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Si Clan. After that, the disciples of Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace got in touch with the two immortal palaces as soon as they escaped out of Cyan Lotus City. Force Emperor and Star Emperor Immortal Palace were both infuriated and shocked. Force Emperor immediately dispatched a deputy head to lead a lot of battleships and immortal generals to Woods Medium-sized Domain. Closely after that, the powerhouses of Star Emperor Immortal Palace arrived. Si Clan has a deep foundation in Woods Medium-sized Domain. Even though some backbones of Si Clan could escape away in a short period, many people of Si Clan couldn't escape away. After some people of Si Clan were caught, Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace discovered more and more dirty deeds of Si Clan in Woods Medium-sized Domain. It's said that they even found some weird places like sacrificial altars under the castle of Si Clan. Therefore, the existence of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace was confirmed.
Among these seven people, was there anyone from the Holy Lord's side? If there was, who could it be?
Hearing the 7 elders' words, Zhang Tie glanced over the 7 elders' solemn faces. However, he didn't show his thoughts on his face.
According to Qian Changqing, Zhang Tie knew that the Holy Lord might have already made Golden-Soul Rune Virus. The earliest Golden-Soul Rune Virus had been applied to some senior figures of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace by the Holy Lord. However, it might still have some defects. The latest Golden-Soul Rune Virus was made 7 months ago. If there was someone from the Holy Lord among the 7 elders at present, there must be Golden-Soul Rune Virus in his mind sea at this moment, no matter whether it was the new Golden-Soul Rune Virus or the old Golden-Soul Rune Virus. However, it could not be seen by eyes. Zhang Tie had to penetrate into that person's mind sea with his spiritual energy. It was not easy for the 7 powerful elders to accept his spiritual energy. It was like having them strip naked and allow themselves to be searched by Zhang Tie. It was not easy for them to do that. As they would resist it instinctively, it might lead to the division of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. As for the details, Zhang Tie had to make a plan.
As Zhang Tie thought about it, he asked another question.
"It's been 4 days. Why didn't Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace know it until now?" Zhang Tie asked as he glanced over the 7 elders with dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, you should be clear about the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Over these years, especially after Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace completed its contraction and gathered all of its forces outside Dragon Emperor Big Domain, our forces and intelligence channels outside Dragon Emperor Big Domain couldn't compare with before. If there's no immortal palace outside Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, our intelligence channels would always arrive a bit late …" Wang Laisheng coughed twice as he explained in a bit embarrassed way, "The Military Department didn't know what happened to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Cyan Lotus City until the next day. At that time, we just got a general idea. However, as this news was too terrifying and could not be verified, we dared not report it to Your Majesty. Not until a great batch of powerhouses of Force Emperor Immortal Palace arrived at Woods Medium-sized Domain did the news between Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Si Clan be verified through various channels.
Zhang Tie's face became a bit relieved as he said, "It's not your fault. However, as information is of great importance, we have to pay more attention to it. The more Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace couldn't stand it, the more we have to pay more attention to information. We couldn't save money on this. Now, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace has a system for collecting information through Military Department, Immortal Generals Department and Supervision Department respectively. I suggest to establish a new agency under the jurisdiction of Qianji Agency, which is responsible for collecting external information. After a short while, elders could discuss about it and work out a plan to make up for this shortcoming. Although Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace indeed doesn't have any immortal palace outside Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, we could consider other methods …"
All the elders nodded.
As a person who came here from another world, nobody knew the importance of intelligence and information better than Zhang Tie. Sometimes, the weaker the party was, the more important intelligence and information should be. This was one of the rules of nature — — powerful fierce beasts could survive by their sharp claws and fangs; however, the weak party had to be sensitive, observant, and alert in all directions.
Previously, Zhang Tie might think that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace's slow response was caused by the abilities of the elders or the poor internal coordination. However, now, he had another possibility — — what happened to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace over these years might be done on purpose. Because a weak, bloated and disunited Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was the most delicious food for someone.
Zhang Tie's eye light gradually turned profound as he watched the elders, "Has it been confirmed that there's a demon emperor on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace?"
"It's not confirmed yet. However, given the current intelligence, Dark Emperor Immortal Palace probably has a top power on its back!"
"What about Golden-Soul Rune Virus? Could it really control immortal generals?"
"Erm … we don't know about it for the time being. All this information was revealed by the mysterious powerhouse who exposed the background of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace have not caught the major figures of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Si Clan yet. Therefore, we don't know whether it's true for the time being …"
Soon after Luo Yunshang finished her words, Shi Zhongyu had interrupted her, "I think it's a bit exaggerated about Golden-Soul Rune Virus. There's no such thing in Motian Realm at all. How could such a powerful thing appear all of a sudden? If immortal generals could be controlled like puppets, how could the others not know about it? I don't think we could fully believe in the words of the mysterious powerhouse who exposed the background of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. That person is unknown in Motian Realm. Nobody knows his identity at all. He might just want to mess up Motian Realm and make everyone feel insecure … "All the elders revealed contemplative looks.
After taking a deep look at Elder Shi, Zhang Tie nodded too, saying, "Elder Shi, you're right. However, Woods Medium-sized Domain is in chaos. We couldn't just wait here. I think we could dispatch powerhouses to Woods Medium-sized Domain to figure out the overall situation; at the same time, we could contact Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace. If Dark Emperor Immortal Palace is really related to demons, it would be a problem that all of us have to face. The two immortal palaces would not hide such a news …" "Elder Shi, you're right. But it's chaotic in Woods Medium-sized Domain.
After negotiating with Zhang Tie for almost 1 hour in Yangxin Palace, the elders finally left Yangxin Palace.
They could sum up the attitude of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace towards what was happening in Woods Medium-sized Domain and Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in two words — — stay out of it, observe it closely and act according to the changing circumstances …
What happened in Woods Medium-sized Domain was completely within Zhang Tie's expectation. Therefore, Zhang Tie was not surprised at all. As for what would happen in the future, he could observe it slowly and act according to the changing circumstances. The top priority now was to ensure that there was no problem inside Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. They had to pull out the poisonous spines that Dark Emperor Immortal Palace might control in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace at the lowest price.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhang Tie lightly stroked a space-teleportation finger ring as various whims occurred to him. Not until Leng Manxue entered Yangxin Palace did Zhang Tie raise his head.
"Call Commander-in-Chief Huang here tonight. I want to invite Commander-in-Chief Huang for a drink!"
"Sure!"
"Oh, help me inquire about whether there's a place called Redmountain City in Motian Realm and whether there's any special event in Redmountain City recently!"
Zhang Tie prepared to explain it to Ji Yuelan in the future by having Leng Manxue do this for him. Zhang Tie had even prepared a set of excuses when he met Ji Yuelan again — — As I was in meditation and cultivating a secret method these days, I didn't pay attention to her message. I didn't see the remaining message in the crystal plate until today. Therefore, I asked my subordinates to inquire about it …
On the premise that he couldn't tell Ji Yuelan that he was Donder and didn't let her think that he didn't care about her life or death, this was the kindest lie that Zhang Tie could think of.
After doing a good deed, Zhang Tie couldn't expose it to the public; instead, he had to cover it with a lie. Zhang Tie didn't know what he was doing. He could only reveal a self-deprecating smile.
An advertising slogan before the Catastrophe suddenly occurred to Zhang Tie's mind …
Men have more than one side!
