The large-scale battle between humans and demons around the huge earth-element crystal mine that they discovered in the first ring of Tiewei Mountain had lasted over one year.
This super earth-element crystal mine was discovered by demons. Closely after that, humans and demons started to scramble for it.
In the first abyss where knights of both parties were intertwined, it was hard for one party to hide any major movement from the other party. The resources and manpower that demons needed to exploit earth-element crystal mine on a large scale would not appear out of thin air. Of course, the movement and transfer of these resources and manpower would arouse the attention of humans. Therefore, humans would make tit-for-tat arrangements.
To a certain degree, the so-called holy war was a tit-for-tat battle regardless of the result. After over 100 years, it would become a holy war.
The older knights all knew that the so-called Holy War was something that could only be achieved through grinding.
Humans and demons were like two sides of a millstone. When they squeezed together and rotated in opposite directions, they both wanted to grind the opponent into pieces. The two millstones were facing the firmest fighters on their own side. Each time the two sides of the millstone rotated a tiny scale, numerous fighters would be shattered into pieces.
The 3rd holy war was the first large-scale large-scale large-scale battle between humans and demons. In this holy war, the first fierce collision between the hardest parts of the two millstones occurred in Tiewei Mountain, the first abyss of the Earth-elements Realm.

On March 27, the 903rd year of Black Iron Calendar, after leaving Black Armor Battlefortress for a few days, Zhang Tie appeared in the second ring of Tiewei Mountain.
Yesterday, March 26th, it was Zhang Tie's 30th birthday. He celebrated this birthday alone. Like the previous two years, he would always reply to the post "The Epitaph of the Despicable" in the Mountain of Brightness with that knight's crystal plate which was codenamed "Chakra's Tiger". It was equivalent to telling his family members that he was safe and sound.
— — Another one year has passed. The scenery in the first abyss of the Earth-elements Realm is good. It's covered with dense black mist, which makes me a bit safer. In the Earth-elements Realm, as long as you look like a human, you are basically safe. As the large-scale battle in Tiewei Mountain is fierce, I'm wandering in the periphery of Tiewei Mountain. I'm trying to kill one or two black iron demon knights so as to not waste my trip to the Earth-elements Realm. I'm not going to prove anything with one or two demon knights' heads. As a wanted criminal in Taixia Country, no matter how many demon knights' heads I've taken, the Supreme Court of Taixia Country would not easily withdraw the order for arrest of me. Over the past 2 years, some people have died unknowingly because of my affairs. However, the truth still hasn't surfaced. The culprit who mastered the Bloody Demon Imitation Method is still hiding in a corner of Taixia Country and holding a high position. I just want to tell you that I'm fine. Moguls of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country, moguls of the Gobbling Party, how are you... '
This was Zhang Tie's reply to his post yesterday.
...
Something was out of Zhang Tie's imagination. Over the past 3 years, the article "Epitaph of a Despicable One" that he published on the forum of Mountain of Brightness had become the most popular article on the forum of Mountain of Brightness. He received over 100,000 replies and the number was increasing every day. After escaping for 3 years, he became the most famous black iron knight among humans because of an article he published on the forum of Mountain of Brightness. Zhang Tie had already surpassed his master Zhao Yuan in terms of reputation and popularity.
When Zhang Tie risked his life in Waii Sub-continent, he was not famous among human knights. When he fought for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Huaiyuan Palace in Youzhou Province, he was just a bit famous in Youzhou Province. After inflicting heavy losses on the Heavens Reaching Church, he became famous across the Northeast Military Region. However, after becoming a wanted criminal, he became famous across the knights' world as a sympathetic tragic hero.
As long as it was a knight with a normal intelligence quotient, he or she would have a strong emotional resonance after reading Zhang Tie's autobiographical article. Additionally, he or she would have his or her own judgment about the truth.
Because this event had a widespread influence, Green Flute Hermit and Guo Tieyi, the elder of Lancang Sect who had been mentioned in Zhang Tie's article both replied to Zhang Tie at the cost of exposing their code names in Mountain of Brightness and disclosed the process of chasing Zhang Tie that night in detail at the end of Zhang Tie's article.
The replies of the two people directly proved the "fatal details" that Zhang Tie mentioned in the previous article — — that night, the two people were attracted by Qin Wu's battle qi smoke. In the process of chasing after Zhang Tie, the two people both admitted that their target had left their sight for a period. The entire process of chasing after Zhang Tie was indeed dominated by Qin Wu. Additionally, it was Qin Wu who discovered Zhang Tie's real body and attacked Zhang Tie first when he suddenly changed his search area. When Qin Wu started to attack Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie indeed questioned why Qin Wu would leave Fuhai City, appear in that place and attack him. Additionally, Zhang Tie even explained to them that he was lured to that place by someone...
Pitifully, the two people didn't believe in Zhang Tie's words at that moment.
At the beginning, Zhang Tie was indeed just defending himself. Later on, after being infuriated by the three people, Zhang Tie's response became more intense. However, he still didn't fight them at the risk of his life.
Even Qin Wu's death was like what Zhang Tie said. At that moment, Qin Wu's battle qi was boiling. Therefore, the two people didn't see Zhang Tie killing Qin Wu; instead, they only saw Qin Wu's body being split into pieces.
In the replies of Green Flute Hermit and Guo Tieyi, the two people were full of self-blame and guilt.
They both thought that if they could be a bit calmer at that moment, the final result might not be so bad. Indirectly, the two people felt that they had become Zhang Tie's accomplices.
An elder of Fan Clan also admitted Zhang Tie's judgment in the article, namely, as the first eyewitness and the victim of the tragedy, Director Fan was indeed wearing clothes when he saw Zhang Tie doing the beastly thing. Additionally, he didn't leave any body fluid on the spot which could be used for comparison.
One year ago, Green Flute Hermit even went to Yanghe Prefecture, Youzhou Province to apologize to Zhang Tie's parents.
...
Because of these events, over 95% of the replies to Zhang Tie's article didn't believe that Zhang Tie would do such a horrible thing in Fuhai City. They all believed that Zhang Tie was innocent. Only a few people were doubtful about some details. It could be said that Zhang Tie had been vindicated by his article in the eyes of most of the human knights across the country. Zhang Tie not only vindicated himself, but also made himself a sympathetic tragic hero. Zhang Tie's "Beloved Ones" was composed into a melody and spread across the world...
During the past 3 years, Zhang Tie was still wanted. Under the one-sided pressure of the public opinion and the overwhelming doubt, the Supreme Court of Taixia Country and the Gobbling Party were involved in the tragedy in Fuhai City and became the target of censure. If it was just commoners who accused and doubted the Supreme Court and the Gobbling Party, the Supreme Court and the Gobbling Party could put on airs or ignore it; however, if it was tens of thousands of human knights who accused and doubted them, even the higher-ups of the Supreme Court and the Gobbling Party couldn't ignore it.
In this case, both the Supreme Court and the Gobbling Party had dispatched their elites to Yingzhou Province to investigate the truth of the tragedy in Fuhai City.
Death was the dark curtain that covered everything.
During the past 3 years, the entire family of Yang Yushan, the former head of the Morality Association in Fuhai City was slaughtered. Closely after that, all the famous doctors in Yingzhou Province who treated Director Fan committed suicide by taking poison one after another. After that, some relatives of Qin Wu who were close to Qin Wu disappeared completely. Finally, when the officers of the Supreme Court traced back to the Yingzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion according to some clues, the director of the Yingzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion was found dead in his own home by swallowing gold...
The truth of the tragedy in Fuhai City was still a mystery.
In this case, the castellan of Fuhai City resigned in advance; the dean of the Provincial Court of Yingzhou Province was demoted; the provincial governor of Yingzhou Province was evaluated as lower; Cheji General of Yingzhou Province was transferred away from his post; over 20 backbones of the Gobbling Party in Yingzhou Province were held accountable and exiled. Due to the aftermath of the tragedy in Yingzhou Province, the Gobbling Party across Taixia Country started to carry out strict rectification these two years...
Especially in the past one year, louder and louder voices started to call the Supreme Court of Taixia Country to revoke the order for arrest of Zhang Tie so as to clear Zhang Tie's name.
Especially two months ago, two noblemen of Jingzhou Academy in Taixia Country submitted a letter to Xuanyuan Hill at the same time. They wanted to clear Zhang Tie's name, which shocked the entire world. Because of this event, the Supreme Court of Taixia Country started to be in a difficult position. Zhang Tie's road to clear Zhang Tie's name also showed a bit of light.
Also in the past 3 years, the Heavens Reaching Church in Taixia Country had ceased its activities as if it had disappeared, which looked weird.
...
Only after a few hours, Zhang Tie's reply had aroused another shock.
Because Zhang Tie didn't mention that he was in the Earth-elements Realm in the previous two replies; this time, Zhang Tie revealed that he was in the Earth-elements Realm. Therefore, all the people would think that Zhang Tie had just arrived at the Earth-elements Realm. Of course, even if all the human knights who had entered the Earth-elements Realm over the past one year were arrested and interrogated, they could not find Zhang Tie in the Earth-elements Realm; neither could they imagine that Zhang Tie had been so popular in the Earth-elements Realm in only 3 years. Besides promoting to an earth knight, Cui LI also gained a bounty land.
Even the most imaginative person could not imagine the relationship between Zhang Tie, the escaping tragic hero, and Cui LI from Yongzhou Province...
