Chapter 1888: Zhang Tie’s Blackmail
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
When Zhang Tie appeared in the palace, he found that all the immortal generals of Black Blood Immortal Palace were holding women in their arms and having a drink riotously. Almost nobody noticed this youth in black robe in the center of the palace.
However, some were exceptions.
Sword sage and Saber sage had already sensed it when Zhang Tie observed and targeted at Two Blackblood Sages by lotus-flower eyes presumptuously. At that moment, Sword Sage who took his glass and was going to have a sip suddenly stopped. Saber Sage knitted his brow as he looked at Sword Sage…
However, they didn’t imagine that Zhang Tie could move so fast. Zhang Tie had appeared in the palace soon after Sword Sage put down his glass and before Saber Sage turned back.
Standing straight, Zhang Tie watched Sword Sage and Saber Sage who were sitting under their own huge sculptures, hands on his back. Sword Sage and Saber Sage who were relaxed just now soon became froze as they squinted their eyes and looked straight into Zhang Tie’s eyes.
With their strong qi fields and great perceptions as sage-level knights, they instantly knew that uninvited guest was on the same level as them the moment they caught sight of him. The only difference was that Zhang Tie looked too younger than them. Additionally, Zhang Tie was releasing a great tension which powers on their level didn’t have.
All the other immortal generals and women instantly became Zhang Tie’s inferior and blurry background when he stood there. They were all like bustling average people on the street or flickers who could never scramble for brilliance with the sun and the moon.
From over 100 m away, the three people had already released light bolts through their eyes which collided, rocked, squeezed and surged in the air like sabers and swords. However, none of the surrounding immortal generals could sense it. When Zhang Tie’s light bolts collided with that of the other two blackblood sages, the 1 m-higher flames in the two bronze tripods beside the two blackblood sages instantly flickered and were finally pressed to 15 cm high…
At this moment, the two blackblood sages were not only shocked but also a bit scared. Through the invisible fierce battle, Zhang Tie had already controlled the wind. He was standing straight there like an irresistible iron body. By contrast, the glass in the hand of Sword Sage had been transformed, one palm of Saber Sage had already made a 1.5-cm deep fingerprint on the table quietly.
In Motian Realm, although there were numerous immortal generals, supreme-level immortal generals or demon generals were not as cheap and common as white cabbages. All of them were famous. However, Sword Sage and Saber Sage had not ever heard about such a young supreme-level immortal general at all.
‘Is he cultivated by Star Emperor Immortal Palace or Force Emperor Immortal Palace secretly or a mysterious owner of a sect?’
The same whim occurred to Two Blackblood Sages almost at the same time…
Even at this moment, Two Blackblood Sages still didn’t know that Zhang Tie was the incumbent Dragon Emperor.
Finally…
“Ah, who are you? What are you standing there for?” An amazed and abrupt voice sounded in the palace.
After pouring a glass of wine into the mouth of a woman on his side with an obscene smile, an immortal general turned around. Right then, he caught sight of Zhang Tie who was standing in the center of the palace. Therefore, he exclaimed at once.
At this moment, besides those immortal generals of Black Blood Immortal Palace, Two Blackblood Sages and some waiters, there should be no other man. However, Zhang Tie didn’t wear the uniform of Black Blood Immortal Palace; neither was he a waiter; additionally, he looked strange. At the sight of him, they had known that he didn’t belong to Black Blood Immortal Palace. However, this stranger suddenly arrived and stood in the center of the palace, hands on his back. He even looked at the two “His Majesties” in the main seats of the palace. Therefore, the immortal general exclaimed in an instant.
After hearing this sound, the entire palace became quiet at a stroke. At this moment, all the immortal generals who were enjoying drinks, food and beauties in all sorts of ugly behaviors immediately fixated onto Zhang Tie with surprise and deep confusion——Who is he? When did he enter the palace?
“Hahahaha…” When the entire palace became quiet, Sword Sage suddenly burst out laughing and uttered, “Friend, now that you could come here without notice, you must be an able man. Coincidentally, we’re holding a banquet to invite these immortal generals of Black Blood Immortal Palace. If you like, how about having some glasses with us?”
Sword Sage then waved his hand. Closely after that, some waiters set a table right beside him and Saber Sage.
When they found this stranger could stand beside the Two Blackblood Sages, all the immortal generals of Black Blood Immortal Palace widely opened their eyes. Someone even glared at Zhang Tie with sparkling eyes as they wondered where did this “brat” come from.
‘What cunning bandits!’
Zhang Tie mumbled inside. When he fought the Two Blackblood Sages with light bolts, he was also observing the two people. He wondered how could the two bandits devour such a large area in the west of Dragon Emperor Big Domain in only a few years. On one hand, the two people’s total battle force was far greater than ordinary forces; what was more, the two people; especially Sword Sage could take temporary setbacks, because of which Black Blood Alliance could occupy Brokenstars Sea for so long. Additionally, when they launched strikes, they were like cunning wild wolves and jackals who could instantly bite off a big piece of bloody flesh from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace when their target was weak…
“No need. I’m not here for a drink; I want to take something back!” Zhang Tie said calmly.
‘Take something back?’
Sword Sage and Saber Sage turned gloomy at once. After exchanging a glance with each other, they had known what the opponent was thinking about——This unknown supreme-level immortal general is really a dauntless guy. When he sees Black Blood Immortal Palace enjoying drinks and meat at Dragon Emperor Big Domain, he determines to blackmail us.
The two people were a bit confused and furious; however, they admitted that Zhang Tie was qualified to “take something back” given his excellent performance in the invisible combat just now. It was similar to that when they did business with no cost in Brokenstars Sea. When they met more powerful opponents, they had to pay for that no matter whether they wanted to kill him by force, rob him or ask him for the toll. If they really wanted to fight their opponents by force, they would suffer a great loss even though they could win in the end. Additionally, after killing these powerful opponents, they would face endless threats and might not even sleep well in the future.
Sword Sage and Saber Sage watched Zhang Tie with flickering eyes as if they were considering whether they were going to fight him or share some wealth with him in case of disaster. After over 10 seconds’ silence, the two people had considered all the possible situations. After exchanging a glance with each other, Sword Sage who maintained a cold look suddenly revealed a smile and said, “Friend, now that you’ve opened your mouth, although being poor and humble, we are always generous to those poor friends in trouble. Here’s a space-teleportation finger-ring. It contains 30,000 element crystals and some gold coins. Please take it. We’re friends…”
After saying that, Sword Sage waved his hand, sending a space-teleportation finger ring flying towards Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie remained expressionless. When he saw the space-teleportation finger ring flying towards him, he just took it calmly. After taking a look at the items inside it, he shook his head and said, “I will take those items in this finger ring, but I’m afraid that it’s not enough for you to make friends with me by them…”
Sword Sage’s smile became shortly frozen. Closely after that, he recovered his smile. After taking a deep look at Zhang Tie for a couple of more times, he slightly knitted his brow and squinted his eyes. Closely after that, he waved his hand again. Then, two more silver secret items flew towards Zhang Tie, one long spear, one pair of wristers.
“It should be enough with two more items. Friend, you could get 30,000 element crystals and two immortal outfits the moment you opened your mouth. We’ve tried our best to show our respect to you…”
When the two items arrived at the front of Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie put them away at a stroke. However, he maintained a cold look as he continued to shake his head, and said word by word,”Still not enough…”
“F*ck, do you think Black Blood Immortal Palace is weak? How dare you blackmail us,” a water immortal general over 50 m away from Zhang Tie at 5 o’clock direction swore at him as he stood up, pushing over a beauty who was accompanying him to drink. He then glared at Zhang Tie with bloody eyes and grinned in an odd way. “Fish, I really wonder how you sneaked in. Let me try you first…”
When he said that, he found Zhang Tie didn’t even take a look at him. Therefore, a vicious light flashed across his eyes. Almost at the same time, his battle qi surged all over. Closely after that, a huge ax appeared in his hand. He then jumped up and slashed his ax towards Zhang Tie’s head while roaring, “Go die…”
At the same time, a short and thin earth immortal general behind Zhang Tie flashed out from the bottom of his table and stabbed at Zhang Tie by a snake-shaped dagger.
One was in the air; the other was close to the ground. One was blatant, the other was silent. What a perfect, fatal combination!
