Chapter 1768: The Part under the Tip of the Iceberg

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

Zhang Tie had seen the great force of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace beneath the tip of the iceberg through the memory of General Manager Si.

Each of the four palaces being affiliated to Dark Emperor Immortal Palace had their own His Honor. Besides His Honor Cyan Dragon, there were also His Honor White Tiger, His Honor Rosefinch and His Honor Tortoisnake.

As His Honor Cyan Dragon was already a supreme immortal general or sage-level knight, Zhang Tie estimated that the other three should also be supreme immortal generals. Such a high-level combination could almost match Force Emperor Immortal Palace, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and defeat any supreme immortal general-level immortal palace.

Among the four His Honors, besides His Honor Cyan Dragon, Zhang Tie got nothing about the other three His Honors and palaces under Dark Emperor Immortal Palace through the memory of General Manager Si.

Undoubtedly, only powers on the level of immortal emperors could subdue four sage-level knights. Zhang Tie’s speculation was verified once again.

This information put strong stress on Zhang Tie.

As long as Zhang Tei thought that such a terrifying “monster” was hiding among humans across Motian Realm, he would feel like smelling the coming storm facing Motian Realm. “His Majesty” didn’t establish a Dark Emperor Immortal Palace for fun.

Of course, Zhang Tie discovered the existence of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace by accident. However, even though he had not discovered it, he could also learn it through the memory of General Manager Si that this terrifying and powerful secret organization was already not unwilling to lurk here anymore as it kept expanding territory; instead, it wanted to expose itself to the public.

The two grand justices of Cyan Dragon Palace Qian Changqing and You Zhongshu were both fire immortal generals.

General Manager Si didn’t know how many powers were in the other three palaces either. However, according to the number of powers of Cyan Dragon Palace, Zhang Tie estimated that the other three palaces of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace should have as many powers as that in Cyan Dragon Palace. The difference between them should not be sharp even if there was. Therefore, the personnel system of the entire Dark Emperor Immortal Palace became transparent to Zhang Tie.

Dark Emperor Immortal Palace was affiliated to 4 palaces, namely Cyan Dragon Palace, White Tiger Palace, Rosefinch Palace and Tortoisnake Palace. Each of palace was headed by 1 His Honor, 2 grand justices who were both fire immortal generals or semi-sage level knights and a lot of elders directly appointed by His Honor who were respectively responsible for different things. Elders were water or wind immortal generals. Plus Xue Yuxiu, Cyan Dragon Palace had five elders including 4 water immortal generals and 1 wind immortal general.

Even though the elders of each palace were not included, the top powers of this Dark Emperor Immortal Palace also included 1 immortal emperor, 4 sage-level knights and 8 semi-sage level knights…

Such a great power shuddered Zhang Tie for a short while. ‘F*ck, it is almost equal to the total strength of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou Pavilion.

Before long, Zhang Tie couldn’t even defeat any of the top three sects in Taixia Country. At that time, he was almost overwhelmed by them. However, even though Zhang Tie had already promoted to a heavenly knight now, he still didn’t have any confidence to win Dark Emperor Immortal Palace which was even more powerful than the total of the three top sects in Taixia Country.

Zhang Tie felt that he could easily kill a semi-sage level knight; however, it was still very difficult for him to defeat a sage-level knight.

At the terrifying high speed of divine dominator, Zhang Tie could easily escape away from a sage-level knight; however, even if the sage-level knight didn’t use any golden secret item or aiding strength, Zhang Tie could still barely defeat a sage-level knight by butting heads with the each other. If he could escape at full speed, a sage-level knight might not be able to catch up with him. Therefore, Zhang Tie could at most go to deuce with a sage-level knight. Although this result was much better than that of the battle above Yinhai Desert, Zhang Tie still couldn’t guarantee that he would escape away if being besieged by 2 or 3 sage-level knights.

After generally figuring out the background of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie realized that it was a wise decision for him to not have Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace involve in this action by changing his look. If someone should be the scapegoat for this action, just let it be Donder who actually existed in Taixia Country.

After receiving this key information, Zhang Tie soon got the information about “sacred sacrifice” that he was concerned about the most.

The sacred sacrifice would be held in the sacrificial altar of Cyan Dragon Palace, which was a large-scale rune array which Zhang Tie didn’t understand.

As General Manager Si had already arranged and watched sacred sacrifice for a few times, he was crystal clear about the process of sacred sacrifice.

The entire process of sacred sacrifice was divided into three steps.

First, bring the sober-minded immortal generals to the sacrificial altar.

Second, lead Golden-Soul Runed Virus out of their mind sea and have it resonate with the sacrificial altar.

Third, let Golden-Soul Rune Virus recognize its owner by returning to the mind sea of those immortal generals. When those immortal generals woke up again after a second, this process of sacred sacrifice would be completed.

Zhang Tie carefully analyzed each detail and scene in the memory of General Manager Si so as to discover something available. After studying them for quite a while, Zhang Tie finally realized that he could only do something in the third step of the process. Namely, he could only save the captives of Yin-Yang Sect in the third step of the process when Golden-Soul Rune Virus recognized its owner.

In the first step of the process, Zhang Tie didn’t have any chance. As the second step was completely dominated by Grand Justice Qian and Xue Yuxiu, Zhang Tie couldn’t complete it without mastering their special secret method. If he took the captives away before they completed their sacred sacrifice, it would be as useless as taking them away from the airboat on the way here. In a few days, all the remaining immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect might die.

As General Manager Si was not an immortal general, he couldn’t host the rite of sacred sacrifice; neither did he know how to apply the secret method that could resonate with Golden-Soul Rune Virus.

The step of having Golden-Soul Runed Virus recognize its owner was most important in the whole process of sacred sacrifice. The most important detail in this step was that Grand Justice Qian and Xue Yuxiu should have a drop of their blood integrate with the Golden-Soul Rune Virus of those captives.

According to what His Honor Cyan Dragon told General Manager Si, the drop of blood would determine who the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in the mind sea of the captive would recognize as their owner and who would be under control. If that drop of blood came from the immortal general himself who was affected by the Golden-Soul Rune Virus, the virus would be detoxified.

After pondering it carefully, Zhang Tie finally found that there might be only one way left for him to save the captives of Yin-Yang Sect. However, the moment he did it, Grand Justice Qian and Xue Yuxiu would find it in an instant. Therefore, a fierce battle would be inevitable closely after that.

Fortunately, Grand Justice Qian was the most powerful one in Cyan Dragon Palace at that time, as long as Zhang Tie could move fast enough, he would definitely escape away after destroying Cyan Dragon Palace and detoxifying the captives of Yin-Yang Sect…

Zhang Tie felt it was a perfect plan!
