Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1869
Chapter 1869: Being Free
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After the thing that he was concerned about the most was exposed to the public by Versatile Demon Emperor, Zhang Tie should have the reason to feel frustrated or flurried facing so many unrivaled powers. However, after exposure, Zhang Tie felt being free like a person who was in mask could finally pick off his mask and breathe the air and enjoy the sunshine freely, exposing his real face to the public…
Zhang Tie was also a bit amazed by his mental change. However, after analyzing his own mentality, Zhang Tie immediately figured it out. In the final analysis, his temperament determined that he was not that kind of a person who liked to play tricks or enjoyed living in the dark.
Since he came to Motian Realm, although Zhang Tie had not hidden his name, he was always meticulous and afraid of exposing his own secrets. He had many concerns. Although he had promoted to higher levels at a high speed over these years in Motian Realm, he didn’t feel free at all; instead, he was also depressed and cautious subconsciously.
After so many secrets were exposed to the public, Zhang Tie’s concerns were finally gone. He was finally free and could become himself.
In the final analysis, in this world, battle force determined everything. As long as one had great battle force, he would be safe in this world as nobody dared hurt him. If one was weak, he couldn’t even hold one gold coin in his pocket as many people would cast greedy eyes on it.
If one had great battle force, he would always be taken as a powerful and able one even if he pretended to be weak!
If one didn’t have great battle force, he would always be taken as a coward even if he pretended to be something!
It was a universal law in both Taixia Country and Motian Realm.
After thinking it through and abandoning all the concerns, Zhang Tie looked frank with a faint smile; instead of the expression that Versatile Demon Emperor longed for.
At this moment, Zhang Tie suddenly saw the light and won great wisdom. Meanwhile, his thoughts became clear and smooth. His mentality instantly reached a new height. With this new mentality, Zhang Tie instantly figured out Versatile Demon Emperor’s purpose by unveiling his background to the public.
It was definitely not Versatile Demon Emperor’s sudden inspiration or that it purely wanted to strike Zhang Tie by exposing his background to Force Emperor and Star Emperor; instead, it had multiple purposes.
Firstly, Versatile Demon Emperor wanted to tell Force Emperor and Star Emperor that the Dragon Emperor who had been missing for more than 900 years would never come back. Versatile Demon Emperor, Six-armed Demon Emperor and Black Mountain Demon Emperor and so many demon generals had already taken the upper hand.
Secondly, it might be related to the chaos that Versatile Demon Emperor aroused in the domains below. The turmoil in Woods Medium-sized Domain and Dark Valley had been expanding. On this occasion, if everyone knew the background of the incumbent Dragon Emperor and that there was actually no immortal emperor on the back of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; instead, it was an alien who usurped the throne of Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace which had just recovered its vigor would become the target of many ambitious ones across Motian Realm again. The internal competitions among humans in Motian Realm would be further aggravated.
Thirdly, Versatile Demon Emperor wanted Zhang Tie to be the target for all. It might even want to stimulate Force Emperor or Star Emperor to kill Zhang Tie so as to eliminate a big threat facing demons in the future.
Although Zhang Tie was not crystal clear about the ultimate intention of Versatile Demon Emperor by arousing such great chaos among humans, he had absolutely known the general frame of Versatile Demon Emperor’s tricks.
As Versatile Demon Emperor exposed Zhang Tie’s background, all the immortal emperors or demon emperors present including those demon generals who had just fought Zhang Tie just now fixated onto Zhang Tie at a stroke.
At this moment, if Zhang Tie was a match, he might have long been lit by those sights.
As for these powers, they didn’t care about Zhang Tie’s secret methods or the fact that he usurped the throne of Dragon Emperor at all; because they knew that the throne of Dragon Emperor would be usurped and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would break apart sooner or later given the former situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. What shocked them the most was that Zhang Tie was an “alien”.
Of course, a man who didn’t come from Motian Realm was almost like an alien compared with commoners in the eyes of those powers in Motian Realm.
“Most of Versatile Demon Emperor’s words were real. I indeed came from an alien world. According to my knowledge, I’m not the first alien who had entered Motian Realm; probably not the last one either. Therefore, don’t be curious about that. As for my real name, I’m the very Zhang Tie…”
Zhang Tie’s voice and look were both calm. Like an invisible strength, his calmness temporarily caused those eager, restless eyes to calm down. All the others just listened to him quietly.
“But Versatile Demon Emperor made a mistake. Although I’ve not seen Dragon Emperor, I’m indeed the disciple of Dragon Emperor. When I came to Dragon Emperor City, I acquired the secret methods that His Majesty Dragon Emperor left in Dragon Emperor City. Nobody else across Motian Realm would be more qualified than me to inherit the throne of Dragon Emperor…” As he spoke, Zhang Tie released a golden dragon-shaped flame. In the blink of an eye, the air within tens of thousands of meters had been heated like being in a furnace. Although nobody present was afraid of this high temperature, everyone could recognize that the golden flame was the brand of the former Dragon Emperor——Real Dragon Flame. Nobody would deny it.
“As long as you could find someone who’s more qualified than me to inherit the throne of Dragon Emperor, I’d like to abdicate; instead of being unwilling to leave this throne!” Being surrounded by the golden realm dragon flame, Zhang Tie was safe and sound; instead, he watched Versatile Demon Emperor with a smile. “If you call it a usurpation, what about that you screwed up Runed Emperor and killed him, acquiring his Tadpole Rune Sutra and founding Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in the name of Rune Emperor secretly? What do you call it when you made the golden-soul rune virus and instigated internal competitions among human immortal palaces? You cannot wait to kill me because that I unveiled the background of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Cyanlotus City; destroyed the Cyandragon Palace and the branch of Si Clan of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace; knew your real identity and refused your profitable allure…”
It was impolite not to reciprocate. Therefore, Zhang Tie unveiled Versatile Demon Emperor’s conspiracies among humans at once. Even Star Emperor and Force Emperor might not know these information.
After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Star Emperor and Force Emperor exchanged a glance with each other. Closely after that, Versatile Demon Emperor’s face turned gloomy. He squinted at Zhang Tie as a ferocious light flashed across his eyes. Versatile Demon Emperor knew that Zhang Tie was tricky; however, he had not imagined that Zhang Tie still stayed calm and fearless about him at this moment…
“You mean you were the very person who unveiled the conspiracy of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace outside Cyanlotus City?” Force Emperor opened his mouth as he watched Zhang Tie.
“Yes, two female disciples of Yin-Yang Sect are familiar with me. The branch of Cyandragon Palace of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace attacked Redmountain City from the inside and with the golden-soul rune virus and captured all the immortal generals of Yin-Yang Sect. Previously, they wanted to take these captives to space beneath the castle of Si Clan and offered sacred sacrifice with the captives before activating the golden-soul rune virus in their minds so as to make those captives their puppets. Unexpectedly, I caught up with them and saved all the captives of Yin-Yang Sect in Cyanlotus City. Additionally, I destroyed the plan of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and exposed the background of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace to the public…”
“Why did you do that in Cyanlotus City?” Force Emperor asked. Force Emperor knew the tragedy outside Redmountain City. At that time, he was pretty infuriated; because he had not imagined that the remaining ones of Yin-Yang Sect that Force Emperor Immortal Palace had been chasing for so many years were hiding in the territory of Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Additionally, he had not imagined that someone in Motian Realm dared find trouble in his territory by exterminating a branch being subject to Force Emperor Immortal Palace. After hearing Zhang Tie’s explanation, he finally knew the details about the event outside Redmountain City.
“Humans and demons are implacably opposite to each other. Even though I’m not a native in Motian Realm, I’m still a human. After discovering demons’ conspiracy on endangering humans in Motian Realm, of course I should stand on the side of humans and consider how to deal with it safe and sound…” Zhang Tie explained seriously.
After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Force Emperor raised his dense eyebrows and praised loudly, “Good, what a disciple of Dragon Emperor!”
Superficially, Force Emperor was speaking highly of Zhang Tie; actually, he had accepted the fact that Zhang Tie had inherited the throne of Dragon Emperor. As an immortal emperor, of course, Force Emperor could sense the intention of Versatile Demon Emperor. However, we should oppose everything that our enemies support and support everything that our enemies oppose. This was the golden law of the competition between humans and demons. Versatile Demon Emperor wanted to use Force Emperor and Star Emperor to kill Zhang Tie and disrupt the overall situation facing humans; therefore, Force Emperor would stop Versatile Demon Emperor from doing that.
“If you want to have a free chat, please change the place. I would never stop you. But you have to leave the tower here before leaving…” Six-armed Demon Emperor finally opened its mouth coldly as it kept a close eye on Star Emperor.
“Hahaha, Infinite Immortal Prison is a legendary object in Motian Realm. Of course, the one who gets it would have it. If you want to stop me from leaving, it depends on whether demons have that ability!” Star Emperor said after taking a cold and arrogant look at Six-armed Demon Emperor and Versatile Demon Emperor. After that, Star Emperor took a look at Force Emperor and said, “If I could keep the Infinite Immortal Prison today, Star Emperor Immortal Palace would like to share everything inside the immortal prison with Force Emperor Immortal Palace, 60/40. If there’s really a deity’s secret method inside the immortal prison, we two could study it together…”
Force Emperor took a look at Star Emperor. Only after less than 1 second’s consideration, he had nodded and said in a muffled voice, “Good, let’s see whether the legendary immortal prison which was said to be used to suppress all the evil forces in the period of deities belongs to humans or demons…”
Of course, Star Emperor didn’t think that Zhang Tie was qualified to share the benefits with him at this moment even though he represented Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace…
After hearing the talk between Star Emperor and Force Emperor, although Zhang Tie looked calm, his inner heart had actually been pounding. ‘Deity’s secret method? What does that mean? Deity’s secret method is an emperor-level secret method. Is there an emperor-level secret method in immortal prison? Is there any more emperor-level secret method besides Xuanyuan Deity Sutra and Infinite King Roc Sutra in Motian Realm?
‘Wait!’ A whim suddenly flashed into his mind. ‘What if Infinite King Roc Sutra that Bian Heng and the others discovered was inside the immortal prison?’
Zhang Tie was shocked very much by this presumption. At the same time, Six-Arm Demon Emperor launched a strike…
Six-armed Demon Emperor couldn’t wait anymore; because a large batch of human immortal generals were flying towards here from thousands of miles away as fast as they could…
Force Emperor and Star Emperor were not single commanders…
Six-armed Demon Emperor targeted at Star Emperor.
When Six-armed Demon Emperor moved, Star Emperor moved too, closely followed by Versatile Demon Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor…
Force Emperor rushed towards Versatile Demon Emperor so that the two demon emperors couldn’t attack Star Emperor at the same time…
“Hurry, go. Six-armed Demon Emperor and Versatile Demon Emperor both want to kill you today. Human powers inside the Mountain Ruins are on the way here. You’re not qualified to join the following scramble…” Force Emperor told Zhang Tie.
Following after, two sage-level spider demon knights in red cloaks had charged at Zhang Tie…
The real battle broke out immediately…
