In many cases, profit and reputation were integrated. If one had profit, he would have a reputation; if one had a reputation, he would have profit. Just like how one became rich or passed the imperial examination.
Sometimes, profit and reputation were contradictory. If one wanted reputation, one had to grit one's teeth; if one wanted profit, one had to be shameless. For instance, borrowing money from relatives and friends or selling prostitutes in brothels.
Everyone would like to have profit and reputation. However, in many cases, they would make a fool of themselves. In the eyes of others, they would take advantage of others. Especially when it came to blackmailing others by assuming the majesty of a tiger, it was already good for them to have profit; however, it was very difficult for them to have a reputation.
If the fire immortal general that was dispatched by Star Emperor Immortal Palace was regarded as a master-level powerhouse, Zhang Tie's method of preserving his face was definitely that of a grandmaster-level powerhouse. Only after one sentence, Zhang Tie had aroused Yuan Lang's awe at once as he felt that Dragon Emperor was really righteous and generous.
Zhang Tie's words were — —
"I wonder whether Star Emperor Immortal Palace has found Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Woods Medium-sized Domain?"
Zhang Tie didn't talk about compensation anymore; he didn't care about the huge gap between Star Emperor Immortal Palace's apology and his own demand; he didn't mention that fire immortal general or Star Emperor's mistake anymore; instead, he directly asked about Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Versatile Demon Emperor.
Yuan Lang felt that Zhang Tie asked Zhang Tie as the leader of humans. The subtext behind Zhang Tie's words was that given the crisis facing Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and the unstable Motian Realm, just let bygones be bygones.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Yuan Lang couldn't help but admire Zhang Tie. Because Yuan Lang intended to persuade Zhang Tie when Zhang Tie was not satisfied with the "apology" of Star Emperor Immortal Palace — — As Dark Emperor Immortal Palace appeared, demons were casting covetous eyes on them. Why would His Majesty make two human immortal palaces hostile to each other and benefit demons?
It was out of Yuan Lang's imagination that Zhang Tie had said it before he finished his words. In this way, the effect was completely different. Yuan Lang instantly understood the hidden meaning in Zhang Tie's words.
After hearing Zhang Tie's question, the envoy of Star Emperor Immortal Palace straightened up at once as he watched Zhang Tie with more respect, "Woods Medium-sized Domain has already been corrupted. Many clans in Woods Medium-sized Domain, including Si Clan and Heavenly Sunlight Immortal Palace. Although Woods Medium-sized Domain is scattered and has many forces superficially, it has long been under the control of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. What Dark Emperor Immortal Palace did in Woods Medium-sized Domain is indeed malicious, brutal and bloody. It's almost the same as the style of demons!"
"Are you sure which demon emperor is on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace?"
"I'm not sure about that. However, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace have discovered something terrifying in Woods Medium-sized Domain. Given the intelligence from all parties, Dark Emperor Immortal Palace might have already mastered the secret method of turning immortal generals into puppets. That secret method should be a very profound rune skill!"
"Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
"Yes, that secret method is called Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Two disciples of Star Emperor Immortal Palace were imprisoned by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. A couple of days before the event, they heard those jailers and heads of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace saying that they were going to sacrifice a batch of immortal generals that a grand justice and an elder of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace had just caught using Golden-Soul Rune Virus. After the sacred sacrifice, those immortal generals might become the puppets of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. According to the disciples of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, over 20 immortal generals were caught by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace from Nine Heavens Big Domain."
"Ahh? They were caught by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace from Nine Heavens Big Domain?" Zhang Tie asked out of amazement as he continued, "If any clan or immortal palace in Nine Heavens Big Domain lost so many immortal generals at once, they might have long been in chaos. But I've not heard that any clan or immortal palace in Nine Heavens Big Domain has lost so many immortal generals recently!"
"Your Majesty, you could never imagine that those immortal generals caught by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace were actually subordinates of Force Emperor Immortal Palace superficially; however, their real identities were actually the members of Yin-Yang Sect who were wanted by Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Yin-Yang Sect had been missing these years. I've not imagined that they've long joined Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City of Nine Heavens Big Domain. The head of Yin-Yang Sect even became the head of the branch of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City. Yin-Yang Sect turned the most dangerous place into the safest place.
"No way! The members of Yin-Yang Sect have joined Force Emperor Immortal Palace?"
"It's true. Force Emperor Immortal Palace has lost its face greatly this time. Although the members of Yin-Yang Sect were hiding in Force Emperor Immortal Palace, Dark Emperor Immortal Palace directly destroyed an immortal palace of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City of Nine Heavens Big Domain. Additionally, some disciples of Force Emperor Immortal Palace were caught by Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. As a result, Force Emperor was infuriated. Therefore, he dispatched a lot of powerhouse immortal generals to Woods Medium-sized Domain as if he was going to dig out all the secrets of Woods Medium-sized Domain. Additionally, he offered a reward of 1 million element crystals to arrest the immortal generals of Si Clan and the forefather of Si Clan!"
After hearing Yuan Lang's words, Zhang Tie became silent. After a short while, he opened his mouth solemnly, "Now that Dark Emperor Immortal Palace has Golden-Soul Rune Virus and Golden-Soul Rune Virus could control immortal generals, I wonder whether Star Emperor Immortal Palace has discovered any immortal generals being controlled by Golden-Soul Rune Virus in the three emperor-level immortal palaces in Motian Realm?"
Yuan Lang shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "As of now, we only know the existence of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. However, nobody has seen its look. Neither do we know the features of immortal generals being controlled by Golden-Soul Rune Virus nor how to check it. According to His Majesty Star Emperor's judgment, Golden-Soul Rune Virus should be parasitic in one's mind sea and brain. Although it doesn't look abnormal in normal times, it might be sensed by some spiritual secret method in one's mind sea. Although we haven't caught any immortal generals of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, His Majesty Star Emperor has already summoned many rune experts in Star Emperor Immortal Palace to study and crack Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Force Emperor Immortal Palace should be doing the same thing!"
"The method of rune of Golden-Soul Rune Virus might be the key clue for us to find the culprit behind Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. Across Motian Realm, there should be very few human and demon powerhouses who could do that …"
Additionally, His Majesty Star Emperor said that if Rune Emperor was still alive, Rune Emperor would probably be the one who could produce Golden-Soul Rune Virus. However, Rune Emperor has already died. Therefore, the one who could produce Golden-Soul Rune Virus should be the one who got Rune Emperor's secret method Tadpole Rune Sutra. His Majesty Star Emperor suspects that the one on the back of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace might be Versatile Demon Emperor, the weirdest and trickiest one among demons. Versatile Demon Emperor excelled at assassinating important human figures and subverting human immortal palaces. Over these years, there's no news about Versatile Demon Emperor. Versatile Demon Emperor might be the culprit of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. In this case, the news that Rune Emperor's secret method Tadpole Rune Sutra and immortal outfit in Dark Valley might be a trap … "
Yuan Lang watched Zhang Tie seriously as he continued, "I'm entrusted by His Majesty Star Emperor to warn Your Majesty that there might be moles of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace among the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Although it's boisterous in Dark Valley, you'd better not be too involved in it in case of being trapped by others …"
No matter whether Star Emperor's warning was sincere or not, at least Zhang Tie agreed with this immortal emperor's judgment. Because Zhang Tie also thought so, he shouted that Demon Emperor controlled Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in the disguise of Donder the handsome man.
"Thanks for your kindness, Star Emperor. I will pay attention to it. Facing the threat of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, we, the three emperor-level immortal palaces should indeed cooperate with each other and exchange intelligence with each other so as to eradicate the evils and maintain the stability of humans in Motian Realm …" Zhang Tie said.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Yuan Lang revealed a smile at once as he asked tentatively, "Speaking of exchange intelligence, I've heard that Your Majesty has traded 100,000 vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament with Emperor NvWa Palace yesterday when I arrived at Dragon Emperor City. The Dragon Emperor Medicament has been praised as marvelous in Dragon Emperor City. I wonder …"
"If you want to know the effect of Dragon Emperor Medicament, the best way is to have a try. I will gift 2,000 vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament to Star Emperor Immortal Palace. You could take them back and have a try …"
Yuan Lang became thrilled at once as he replied, "Thanks, Your Majesty!"
"You're welcome. Courtesy calls for reciprocity. Hopefully, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace could forget the former animosities and work together from then on!"
"That's right!" Yuan Lang nodded as he asked, "I wonder whether Star Emperor Immortal Palace could purchase Dragon Emperor Medicament from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in the future?"
"Emperor NvWa Palace has a special position. Our Dragon Emperor Medicament could only be sold to Emperor NvWa Palace!" Zhang Tie said as he found Yuan Lang's face slightly changed, "However, if Star Emperor Immortal Palace wants more Dragon Emperor Medicament in the future, you could attend the auction. Besides those that we sell to Emperor NvWa Palace, I will select the buyers of all the other Dragon Emperor Medicament through auction!"
"Your Majesty, how do you want to auction it?"
Zhang Tie then told Yuan Lang about the auction rules of Dragon Emperor Medicament that he designed.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Yuan Lang let out a deep sigh at once. If Dragon Emperor Medicament was really that marvelous, Star Emperor Immortal Palace would not worry about it anymore by auction. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace couldn't get it, the other immortal palaces could forget about it. However, what shocked Yuan Lang was how did Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace produce millions of vials of Dragon Emperor Medicament? Generally speaking, the more precious something was, the rarer it would be. How could Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace produce it on a large scale?
However, this should be a secret of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Additionally, the name of Dragon Emperor Medicament revealed some clues. This medicament might be related to the former Dragon Emperor who had returned.
When he thought about this, Yuan Lang didn't ask about the details of Dragon Emperor Medicament anymore.
…
After chatting with Zhang Tie in Yangxin Palace for a short while and accomplishing this task, Yuan Lang bade a farewell to Zhang Tie.
Soon after Yuan Lang left, Zhang Tie had Leng Manxue arrange people to move that big iron cabinet into his cultivation backroom as usual.
As the spiritual energy inside was too plentiful, it would definitely take him more than one day to absorb it. Yesterday, Zhang Tie had not eaten the fruit of brilliance that was used to kill Grand Justice Qian and the lackeys of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and those immortal generals of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. Additionally, he had not fully refined the fire chakra that he absorbed by Purgatory Samsara Method a few days ago. Now, another demon fire immortal general was sent here. Zhang Tie felt so happy and full. If he could be like this every day, Zhang Tie was confident to promote to a semi-sage level knight within this year. Such a speed was even faster than riding a rocket.
…
Less than 2 minutes after Yuan Lang left, a lot of people had poured into Yangxin Palace.
Watching those elders and presidents' solemn or gleaming eyes, before Guan Minjun opened her mouth, Zhang Tie had interrupted, "The 100,000 element crystals of Dragon Emperor's Medicament will be allocated to Earth-Treasures Department to enrich the treasury. Today, each of you can take 100 vials of Dragon Emperor's Medicament back to have a try. Tomorrow, I will show you how Dragon Emperor's Medicament is produced. After knowing this, you will not need to worry about the shortage of element crystals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace anymore. From then on, Dragon Emperor's Medicament will become a stable source of income for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace …"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the others in Yangxin Palace exchanged a glance with each other as they became speechless at once …
Right then, Leng Manxue had people carry boxes of Dragon Emperor Medicament into Yangxin Palace.
…
Watching these people leaving, Zhang Tie who was sitting on the dragon chair of Yangxin Palace revealed a cold and solemn eye light — — I will know who's the representative of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace tomorrow.
