After thinking about it for 2 hours, Zhang Tie filtered all the details and information in his mind; however, he still didn't know the trump card of demons.
In order to deal with the catastrophe that demons might arouse in Taixia Country through puppet worms, since 3 years ago, each military region, each province, each prefecture, each prefecture, each city, each town and each household across Taixia Country had started to carry out the strictest control measures on food and water sources and large-scale physical examination on people.
Each city's water pipe network was guarded by people from the source to the outlet; especially the source of water in each city, which was directly guarded by the military of Taixia Country. From the source to the faucet, a drop of water had to pass through 5 checkpoints before entering a resident's home. Even so, the official measure of Taixia Country was water dispersion mechanism. Even in the places that could be covered by the tap water in each city, the official of Taixia Country also recommended people to use water separately. Besides tap water, all the qualified families would try to dig a well at home. They would use their own well water or stream water or spring water according to the local conditions.
In Taixia Country, all levels of officials had assigned special personnel to dig wells everywhere. There were many public wells in each city, each street, each community and each village. Each well was guarded by special personnel 24 hours a day so that people could fetch water separately. In this way, very few people would be influenced even if demons wanted to play tricks on the water source.
Even common families had started to pay attention to the safety of water, not to mention major clans. Since the event in Heavens Cold City dozens of years ago, all the capable major clans in Taixia Country had started to pay attention to the risks caused by puppet worms.
Besides water source, grains and food circulation in Taixia Country were also strictly controlled.
All the grains as primary agricultural products could circulate freely; however, all the processed ready-to-eat food could not leave the prefecture.
Even the commoners were like that, not to mention the army's food safety control. All the food that soldiers ate every day had to pass many tests.
Based on these arrangements, Zhang Tie believed that demons could control the demon disaster in a very small range even though they could still cause demon disasters in Taixia Country using puppet worms.
The ultimate purpose of the Lion Fortress entering the Earth-elements Realm from the Military Province was to monitor the abnormal movements of the demon army in the Earth-elements Realm and prevent the army of demon knights from appearing in the Military Province again.
The army of demon knights was not terrifying at all. No matter how many demon knights there were, they were just seeking food for Zhang Tie. What Zhang Tie was really worried about was that demons would break up their army of demon knights and rush into the hinterland of Taixia Country to burn, kill and destroy. In this way, even if Taixia Country could kill all of these demon knights, it would also suffer a great loss.
…
Taixia Country had already prepared various countermeasures; however, all the countermeasures seemed to be useless now. That was the most fatal!
…
Where were the Demon Race's trump cards and killer moves?
This whim constantly lingered in Zhang Tie's mind like a ghost in the black fog.
Meng Shidao and the Gobbling Party flashed across Zhang Tie's mind. Zhang Tie's train of thought paused for a second.
'The best time to deal with Meng Shidao and the Gobbling Party is to drive demons underground. I've already reached a consensus with Zuoqiu Mingyue on this point. However, it's not the right time yet. Tang Ling, the premier of the country, has been eliminating the influence of the Gobbling Party and disarming it over these years. As a result, the backbone forces of the Gobbling Party had gradually left the power center of Xuanyuan Hill. Meng Shidao's influence in Taixia Country was weakening bit by bit. The local forces of the Gobbling Party were also under control. When fighting demons, it was really a taboo for Zhang Tie to arouse the chaos of the Gobbling Party inside Taixia Country …
When Zhang Tie thought about this, he forgot about Meng Shidao and the Gobbling Party.
…
Humans were not deities after all. Even though Zhang Tie had started to form his immortal chakra, he was still a human. He was not omnipotent like the legendary deity who could control everything.
…
After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie still couldn't figure it out. Therefore, he directly picked himself up and left the room for his cultivation backroom.
After entering the backroom, Zhang Tie flashed and disappeared in a split second. Closely after that, he entered Castle of Black Iron.
It was empty in the lobby of the palace tree. The small tree was still the same small tree. However, there was one more pool not far from the small tree. That piece of immortal stone was in the pool while Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring was gurgling out of the immortal stone and flowing into the pool below the immortal stone. Everything was as same as what Zhang Tie saw in Heavens of Light.
Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy as he sensed that Heller was doing species experiments in the species lab upstairs. Agan, Aziz and those women of Yin-Yang Sect were not here.
Heller also knew that Zhang Tie was back. The moment he wanted to come downstairs, he stopped what he was doing.
"Heller, you don't need to come downstairs. I will go to Mountain Ruins …"
"Fine!"
"Where are Aziz and Aziz?"
"They're building an immortal palace at the foot of the mountain!"
Zhang Tie then turned around and walked out of the lobby of the palace tree. Closely after that, he rushed into the sky …
…
At this moment, Castle of Black Iron had completely changed its look.
On the land, Castle of Black Iron covered hundreds of millions of square miles. It looked boundless like a small subcontinent being surrounded by ocean. In the ocean, there were many pearl-sized islands. After integrating with Mountain Ruins, the sky area of Castle of Black Iron increased by dozens of times at a stroke. Numerous air-floating mountains were floating in the sky of Castle of Black Iron like islands. All the air-floating mountains in Mountain Ruins in Motian Realm had become decorations in the sky of Castle of Black Iron. The core of Buzhou Mountain was at the highest point of the sky.
At this moment, there were some new cities at the foot of the immortal mountain. Before leaving Motian Realm, Zhang Tie had visited those cities being controlled by demons in Nine Heavens Big Domain and moved over 10 million people into Castle of Black Iron. As a result, the population of Castle of Black Iron had increased by many times.
After mastering the strength of realm, it became easy for Zhang Tie to move people into Castle of Black Iron. As long as he covered a city with his realm, he could move a lot of people into Castle of Black Iron at once.
Those women of Yin-Yang Sect were in those cities below Castle of Black Iron as their leaders.
It seemed that they were too depressed in Motian Realm. When those women of Yin-Yang Sect found that they could develop their talents in Castle of Black Iron, all of them became very passionate as they started to enroll apprentices in Castle of Black Iron so as to continue the inheritance of Yin-Yang Sect.
Zhang Tie was even ignored by those women of Yin-Yang Sect in front of those women who were "pursuing their careers".
…
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had arrived at the depth of Mountain Ruins and entered an air-floating mountain as high as tens of thousands of meters.
There was a labyrinth-like old mountain cave inside the air-floating mountain. After wandering in this mountain cave for a short while, Zhang Tie had come to the depth of this mountain cave.
It was pitch-dark in the depth of the mountain cave. However, there was a 2-m higher cyan light looming in the pitch-dark mountain cave like a portal. Zhang Tie instantly passed through the cyan light and entered a bizarre space.
It was a huge space like a Dongtian in front of Zhang Tie's eyes. There were 36 towers of time in different sizes in this space, which could be divided into three categories: large, medium and small. Each category contained 12 towers of time. The 36 towers of time could provide Zhang Tie with 20 years' cultivation, 10 years' cultivation and 5 years' cultivation respectively.
The 35 towers of time in this secret realm were still in the cooling period. However, a small tower of time had been available a few days ago, which could provide Zhang Tie with 5 years' cultivation inside …
Previously, this place was the territory of demons in Motian Realm. Almost nobody in Motian Realm knew that demons had such a secret realm here. However, after Mountain Ruins was integrated with Castle of Black Iron, all the secrets in Mountain Ruins were exposed to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie instantly became the one who knew Mountain Ruins best besides Heller between the two worlds. Of course, this secret realm which was once occupied by demons became Zhang Tie's backyard.
As Castle of Black Iron had just integrated with Mountain Ruins, most of these towers of time were still in the cooling period as they had been used by demons.
Two years ago, Zhang Tie had already used a tower of time in another secret realm and stayed there for 10 years. During that period, he had reached 3 change realm of his immortal chakra. It would be enough for Zhang Tie to promote to 5 change realm in 5 years' time.
After flying to the front of that tower of time, Zhang Tie directly entered it and started to cultivate.
When Zhang Tie couldn't solve the problem with wisdom and thinking, when he didn't know what other trump cards demons had, it was the best way to deal with the unknown crisis that he could think of to enhance his battle strength and make himself more powerful.
…
When Zhang Tie was thinking about demons' trump cards on the bank of Weishui River, the entire Gobbling Province and the lair of the Gobbling Party became boisterous these days. Because the Opening Stele Festival would be held on April 17th.
The Opening Stele Festival was not a festival of Taixia Country; instead, it was a festival of the Gobbling Party. Many years ago, Far-ancient Morality Stele was discovered on this day.
In order to celebrate the birth of Far-ancient Morality Stele, the Gobbling Party would hold a grand celebration in Gobbling Province on this day every year. Gradually, this day became the Opening Stele Festival of Gobbling Party in Gobbling Province.
In recent years, with Zhang Tie's return in an unrivaled manner and Meng Shidao's retirement from the position of prime minister, the Gobbling Party's influence in Taixia Country had been restrained a bit. However, in Gobbling Province, even though the provincial governor of Gobbling Province was replaced, the Gobbling Party was still the dominant force in Gobbling Province …
