"Lizhou Province and Xianzhou Province have been recovered 3 days ago. The Lion Fortress has already entered Military Province. The overall situation in the frontline is good. It's said that demons on the Western Continent have already started to retreat underground. The allied human forces on the Western Continent have already started to launch counterattacks in some regions …"
When Zhang Gui said this, he lowered his head and looked at his tiptoes in an extremely respectful manner. He didn't even dare to look up. After finding that Zhang Tie remained silent, Zhang Gui continued, "Emperor Xuanyuan has already sent invitations to the heads of the major countries on the other continents and subcontinents. They're going to hold a conference in Xuanyuan Hill to discuss the war plan of humans and strive to drive demons back underground as soon as possible after Taixia Country recovers Military Province this year. According to the news from Xuanyuan Hill, Taixia Country and the Western Continent might finally join forces in the Realm of Disasters …"
"Hmm, not bad!" Standing on Pandora's back, Zhang Tie finally loosened his grip on Pandora's hand. After moving one step away from Pandora, he threw a satisfied glance at the two people's poems and paintings on the drawing paper and nodded.
The painting was drawn by Zhang Tie and Pandora. It was an agile and natural landscape painting after a rain. On the painting, a slim and elegant woman was standing in a pavilion in the middle of a mountain and watching the valley in the distance gloomily. This painting was very vivid. The woman's back figure, especially her long hair, looked like Pandora.
After finishing the painting, all the women on the side surrounded them at the same time as they praised the painting.
At this moment, besides Bai Suxian, Yan Feiqing, Guo Hongyi, Linda, Beverly, Fiona, Aimei, Aixue and Pandora, O 'Laura, Olina, Sabrina and the 6 sisters of Spencer Clan were all here. All of Zhang Tie's wives had been here.
Because all the women had consumed the fruit of the two-cycle flower, even after a few years, these women didn't seem to have changed at all compared to before.
In an attic of the Suzerain's Pavilion on the top of Xuantian Peak of Iron-Dragon Sect, besides Zhang Tie and his beautiful wives and concubines, only Zhang Gui was reporting something to Zhang Tie with his body lowered.
It was already March. It had been a few months since Zhang Tie came back. During these months, too many things had happened in both Taixia Country and the Western Continent; especially the overall situation in the holy war, which had long changed dramatically.
Since he returned to Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie had not left Youzhou Province; instead, he stayed with his family members. In the beginning, he met Zuoqiu Mingyue, Cheng Honglie, Heavens Fortune Sect and Lord Guangnan's Mansion in Youzhou Province. Later on, Zhang Tie didn't meet anyone else; instead, he spent all his time with his family members.
Pandora had been picked up by Zhang Tie from Demons-kill Valley to Youzhou Province. The news that Zhang Tie picked up Pandora from Demons-kill Valley had been spread across Taixia Country. With Zhang Tie's son-in-law, the reputation of Demons-kill Valley also rose.
After picking up Pandora, Zhang Tie picked up O 'Laura and Olina from Ice and Snow Wilderness. As for Zhang Tie, picking up these women from Ice and Snow Wilderness was as convenient as a family man going out to buy vegetables by car.
Zhang Tie found that the same strength could be used to protect the entire human race and fight demons; however, sometimes, he found that the same strength could also be used to protect his family so that his beloved women could return to his side.
Although Zhang Tie had long been a grandfather, the entire Jinwu Palace, even the entire Youzhou Province was busy preparing for Zhang Tie's wedding.
Zhang Tie had promised these women that he would hold a grand wedding for them in Youzhou Province and let them wear bridal gowns and ceremonial dresses.
Zhang Tie felt that he owed them the most. Starting from Beverly, Fiona, Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian, although these women had titles and positions and even had kids, Zhang Tie had not held a real wedding for them and let them wear beautiful bridal gowns. Zhang Tie always felt a bit regretful and incomplete. After coming back, Zhang Tie determined to hold an unprecedented grand wedding for them so as to make up for all the regrets.
Zhang Tie still remembered their looks when he gathered all the women together and told them that he wanted to hold a real wedding and ceremony with them.
"I think this painting needs a poem that could match the artistic conception in the painting!" Aimei and Aixue said at the same time.
"The landscape painting of Taixia Country should match the poems of Taixia Country. I'm not good at poems of Taixia Country. Elder sister, please do it …" Pandora said with a smile as she passed the brush pen to Yan Feiqing.
Yan Feiqing replied with a smile. After taking the brush pen, she left two lines of delicate words on the painting without any hesitation.
— — Rain and clouds; cool breeze. Water and green mountains; birds flying in the sky.
— — Tea in the morning and evening; I think of you when I'm awake; I think of you when I'm drunk!
"Good …" Everyone praised in unison, especially the last sentence that Yan Feiqing wrote, which completely expressed the thoughts of all the girls.
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he put his arms around Yan Feiqing and kissed her face in front of the others like a playboy. Closely after that, he turned around and asked Zhang Gui as if he was asking about something trivial, "How's the Gobbling Party these days?"
"The Gobbling Party across Taixia Country has basically been exterminated. Most of the people who joined the Morality Association have already quit. Besides Northeast Military Region, many people who joined the Morality Association and the Gobbling Party have been telling the truth everywhere in the other provinces, prefectures and cities. They're exposing the dirty things that the Morality Association has done before. The local authorities are lenient to those who sincerely repent. Only a few of them were put into prison and their family members were exterminated. Everybody is praising Emperor Xuanyuan's benevolence and how Emperor Xuanyuan and Meng Shidao were exterminated …"
As for the Gobbling Party, after Meng Shidao died, the Far-ancient Morality Stele which served as the spiritual sustenance of many diehard members of the Gobbling Party was broken, plus the fact that Emperor Xuanyuan had returned and Meng Shidao had framed Emperor Xuanyuan, the Gobbling Party would be exterminated in a split second. Therefore, nobody wanted to have anything to do with it.
Zhang Tie was very satisfied with Xuanyuan Hill's action. It was indeed a meritorious deed to eliminate this hidden danger at the lowest cost and reduce the turmoil across Taixia Country. In the final analysis, as commoners and commoners, many people joined the Gobbling Party not because of any belief or high moral requirement; instead, they just wanted to gain some benefits from the Gobbling Party and the Morality Association. Even though many major clans and officials joined the Gobbling Party, their purpose and motive might not be nobler than this.
"Oh, there's one more thing …"
"Go ahead!"
"I'm told that there's a rumor in Xuanyuan Hill that when Eastern Continent and Western Continent drive demons into the underground space, the two continents would organize 300,000 human knights to establish a real allied human knights. The ambassadors of Xuanyuan Hill and Western Continent have already spread the news in Xuanyuan Hill. They all want to recommend you as the commander-in-chief of the allied human knights and lead the allied human knights to break into the underground space and exterminate demons …"
Closely after Zhang Gui's words, all the women in the room stopped commenting on that painting and calligraphy; instead, they all stared at Zhang Tie with widely opened eyes.
Zhang Tie shook his head with a smile as he said something that the others couldn't understand, "Demons couldn't be eliminated by wars and massacres!"
Those people thought it too simple. When Zhang Tie returned to Taixia Country from Motian Realm, he had actually traveled to the underground abyss of the Earth-elements Realm from the Chaotic Space. They all thought that demons came from the underground abyss. Actually, it was a one-sided understanding. There was a weird black demonic ocean in the core of this planet below the underground abyss of the Earth-elements Realm, which was connected to the world where the Demon Overlord lived. Although the Demon Overlord couldn't descend to Taixia Country from that world, the powerful demonic qi and energy in the world where the Demon Overlord lived could penetrate into Taixia Country from that world and breed demons one after another. Even if the allied human knights finally reached that place and killed all the demons, new demons would be bred very soon.
If they wanted to exterminate demons, they had to exterminate the Demon Overlord. If they wanted to exterminate the Demon Overlord, they had to exterminate everyone's greed, jealousy, hatred, foolishness and massacre. Because these human emotions and behaviors of harming each other were the source of the Demon Overlord's power.
The real demons were not in the abyss or the hell; instead, they were in the darkest and most ferocious place in everyone's heart.
Unless everyone's heart was full of brightness, the war between humans and demons would never cease.
The real holy war wasn't between humans and demons, but between humans and the darkness and ferociousness in the depths of their hearts.
They didn't understand it yet. Neither did Zhang Tie want to explain it to them.
'Perhaps it's not bad. From then on, humans would live above the earth's surface while demons would live underground. The two races could deal with their own affairs. Without demons, humans would also have wars, massacres, turmoil and oppression. Perhaps, there would be a terrifying, covetous race in the underground world. By contrast, humans would have fewer massacres and wars and the order above the earth's surface would be more harmonious. It's not a bad thing.'
Perhaps, their holy war had not come to an end; however, Zhang Tie's holy war was about to come to an end.
These days, Zhang Tie had reached an unknown agreement with the Demon Overlord through the heart which was suppressed in the Infinite Immortal Prison. From the day the agreement was reached, Zhang Tie would not attack demons who returned to the underground world anymore. Additionally, the Demon Overlord would not allow the demon army to appear on the earth's surface anymore. None of the human cities on the earth's surface would fall into the hands of demons. The current demon army would gradually retreat to the underground world. As long as Zhang Tie was alive, all the humans living on the earth's surface and all the human cities would be under Zhang Tie's protection. This agreement would always be effective.
After this agreement was reached, it meant that the vast Earth-elements Realm between the earth's surface and the abyss where demons lived would be the real battlefield between humans and demons in the future …
When they were thinking about Zhang Tie's words, an abrupt and urgent voice suddenly sounded outside the attic.
"I have something urgent to see Elder Mushen …"
The moment Zhang Tie heard it, he had known that it was Elder Muen of Huaiyuan Palace...
