5 minutes later, the two parties encountered each other in the underground tunnel. When Zhang Tie and his team were going downstairs, the opponents were going up.
There were 123 people on Zhang Tie's side; however, there were only 5 people on the opponents' side, an old man with silver hair, a middle-aged man with a common look and 3 20-odd young men.
'Earth knight? '
'Earth knight! '
When Zhang Tie and the old man saw each other, they exchanged a glance with each other as they both sensed that the opponent was an earth knight. However, compared to Zhang Tie, the old man was a bit shocked inside. Because Zhang Tie was still too young even for an earth knight. Earth knights in their prime could rarely be seen. Additionally, Cui LI's tower-like terrifying figure and murderous bald head were also very oppressive.
Bai Suxian's temperament was also very outstanding. As a result, the others couldn't help but throw more glances at her. Except for Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian's movements in front of others were very consistent with her identity as the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. She was elegant and noble everywhere.
Coincidentally, the middle-aged man on the side of the old man was a black iron knight. Bai Suxian on the side of Zhang Tie was also a black iron knight. The two knights were followed by a lot of young men.
At the sight of each other, Zhang Tie and the old man both nodded with a smile. Closely after that, they passed by each other in the underground tunnel.
The middle-aged man on the side of the old man raised his head and threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie and his team continued to walk downstairs while the old man led some people towards the ground.
When they almost reached the ground and could see the light at the entrance of the underground tunnel, the old man turned around and asked the middle-aged man, "How's it going?"
The middle-aged man with a common look looked pretty solemn at this moment. After hearing the old man's question, he turned around and replied seriously, "Very powerful, very powerful. That man is not only an earth knight; additionally, his hands are stained with the blood of at least 2 earth demon knights. Additionally, he might have killed over 10 black iron knights..."
"At least 2 earth demon knights and over 10 black iron knights?" After hearing this man's words, the old man took in a deep breath. Those young men on his side exchanged a glance with each other as they changed their faces at once, "So many? Are you sure?"
"Second uncle, I'm sure. With my ancestral bloodline, I could sense the special fierce qi left in that man's qi field after killing knights. The more knights he killed, the more powerful the fierce qi would be. Additionally, the fierce qi in this man's qi field is very terrifying. Additionally, I could sense it clearly. I feel that this man has killed far more knights!"
"When did such a terrifying earth knight appear in Taixia Country? Why have we not heard about it?" A young man asked out of shock, "I'm afraid that such a person is not a trivial figure in the Earth-elements Realm!"
"The woman beside that man also sensed some fierce qi of black iron demon knights. Additionally, the perfume that she used was specially made by the Imperial Financial Bureau of Xuanyuan Hill. It was a top-class dew of moonlight which was specially provided to the imperial harem and the royal clans of lords' mansions. It would never be available to commoners. The two people are definitely not common knights..."
"As Taixia Country is so large, it's normal for there to be some unknown powerhouses!" The old man frowned as he waved his hand, "Let's go back to the airboat first..."
The moment they walked out of the underground entrance, they had caught sight of Iron-Dragon Airboat which was longer than 500 m. It was suspending not far from here like a far-ancient fierce beast. At the sight of Iron-Dragon Airboat, they were shocked once again. Of course, they knew that such an airboat which surpassed the standard of a commander could never be bought with money. Across Taixia Country, only imperial households, top 7 sects, some super major clans, moguls and lords' clans in Xuanyuan Hill could have such an airboat.
After gazing at Iron-Dragon Airboat for a short while, they immediately returned to their airboat.
The moment they returned to the airboat, the old man had told a young man, "Zhixuan, contact our clan and have them check the latest intelligence from Northeast Military Region; especially those about sects!"
"Northeast Military Region? Second granduncle, why do you suddenly pay attention to Northeast Military Region? Especially the sects over there? I remember that there are Immortal Fist Position Sect and some small and medium-sized sects over there... "the young man called Zhixuan asked out of amazement. The two people on his side also watched this grand elder of their clan with dubious looks.
Because they were here to take some young disciples of their clan out for experience, the old man was very patient. After hearing the young man's question, he explained patiently, "You've not got the knight's consciousness yet. Therefore, you're not sensitive. Before I met them just now, I've heard some young people whispering behind the man and the woman. Given their accent, they must be from Youyan Country, Northeast Military Region. Additionally, they call each other senior and junior brothers. Additionally, given their ages, most of them must be from rich and noble clans. Even if the man and the woman are not their masters, they should be their seniors. If they're from sects outside Northeast Military Region, they would not only accept disciples from Northeast Military Region!"
Hearing the old man's words, the young men all looked at the old man with admiration. This was the combination of strength and experience, shrewdness and wisdom. While the young men were still guessing the origin of that group of people, their second granduncle had already figured out the origin of that group of people just now by meeting them and listening to their whispers.
After they boarded the airboat, the airboat started to move.
Over 10 minutes later, the young man called Zhixuan walked into the command module of the airboat with an admirable look with a new intelligence. Meanwhile, he brought the intelligence inquiry result of the clan.
— — Cui Li the Fire Dragon Hermit held the opening ceremony in Northeast Military Region on August 18 and founded Iron-Dragon Sect. On the opening ceremony, he defeated Nangong Sheng the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect who had already reached the realm of integrating with the universe. It was said that Cui Li the Fire Dragon Hermit had an epiphany when he competed with Nangong Sheng in fist position and entered the realm of integrating with the universe, which was very terrifying.
— — In the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect, Fire Dragon Hermit even presented 18 secret pearls as the wager, which shocked the whole world.
— — On the battlefield between humans and demons in the Earth-elements Realm, Fire Dragon Hermit killed an earth shadow demon. Therefore, he was granted the title of Fire Dragon Bounty Territory.
— — Over 1 month ago, Fire Dragon Hermit left Fire Dragon Bounty Territory with his 121 disciples by airboat.
— — Fire Dragon Hermit was tall and sturdy with the power of dragons and elephants. Additionally, he had an eye-catching bald head. Bai Suxian the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion and Fire Dragon Hermit stuck to each other like glue. They left Fire Dragon Bounty Territory together.
— — It was said that Fire Dragon Hermit won the airboat from Feng Yexiao, one of the 4 elders of Taiyi Fantasy Sect in the Earth-elements Realm. The details were unknown.
Combining with these pieces of intelligence, everybody knew that they met Fire Dragon Hermit just now. That man was Cui Li the Fire Dragon Hermit while that woman should be Bai Suxian the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
After reading these intelligence reports, the old man revealed a bitter smile as he let out a sigh, "I've not imagined that there's such a powerful person in Northeast Military Region. Pitifully, our ancestral clan of Black Tiger Palace missed a chance to establish a relationship with Iron-Dragon Sect..."
"Second granduncle, do we need to..."
After thinking about it for a short while, the old man shook his head, "If we join them at this moment, we would be despised by them. Just tell our business groups in Northeast Military Region to pay more attention to them. If there's a chance, our young disciples could also join Iron-Dragon Sect and learn something from Fire Dragon Hermit. It's always good for our ancestral clan to have one more friend in Northeast Military Region..."
"Second granduncle, do we still go to Gold and Power Market?"
"Of course. This year's Treasures Meeting will be held in Gold and Power Market. Gold and Power Law also has a great influence on continents and subcontinents besides Taixia Country. In the Treasures Meeting in Gold and Power Market, treasures from all over the world will be gathered. If we're lucky, we could even buy some good items from overseas! Of course, our Black Tiger Palace will also show our face there... "
All the young men became thrilled as they revealed an interested look.
Watching the sky outside the airboat, the old man and that average-looking middle-aged knight didn't smile too much. At this moment, they were thinking about the same thing that Zhang Tie once had — — if each province in Taixia Country had such a bloody sea...
The moment this whim occurred to them, the two knights felt cold inside at the same time. After exchanging a glance with each other, they both saw a bit concern in each other's eyes...
"Our Black Tiger Palace indeed should make some preparations for ourselves. After Emperor Xuanyuan is missing, many things are unreliable. As long as Taixia Country is in chaos..." the middle-aged knight whispered.
After a short while, the old man slowly nodded...
...
After the airboat of Black Tiger Palace flew away, Zhang Tie's group was walking leisurely in the underground tunnel.
"Oh, is your perfume called Dew of Moonlight?" Zhang Tie suddenly asked Bai Suxian in a secret way. (To be continued.)
