Chapter 1404: Being Determined
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
“Master, Zhang Tie has left Xuanyuan Fortress this morning...” a disciple of Feng Yexiao passed this news to him soon after Zhang Tie left there for more than 10 minutes.
As Zhang Tie was already a pillar in Xuanyuan Fortress like a star, each of his movement would catch others’ attention for sure.
Feng Yexiao frowned. After hearing that Zhang Tie was assassinated by a heavenly demon knight yesterday, Feng Yexiao felt pretty good. Although he couldn’t celebrate it apparently, he couldn’t stand hiding his smile. However, after hearing that Zhang Tie came back and killed an earth spider demon knight outside Xuanyuan Fortress, Feng Yexiao felt completely disappointed. He had sworn that the heavenly demon knight was as silly as an idiot many times inside.
Feng Yexiao didn’t have a liking for Zhang Tie since they met in Earth-elements Realm. After Zhang Tie won an airboat from him, Zhang Tie had become sore in his eye.
Zhang Tie was an earth knight; Feng Yexiao was a shadow knight. Previously, Feng Yexiao could still look down upon Zhang Tie as Zhang Tie was just sore in his eyes; after Zhang Tie got the essence of sword song on the battlefield, this sore had become a rising morning star, whose brilliance ached Feng Yexiao’s eyes, scorching his heart. As a result, Feng Yexiao could not look down upon him in a discomposed way anymore...
“Where is he going?” Feng Yexiao asked with a frown.
“He left for the east by his thunder hawk...”
Feng Yexiao sneered as he told his disciples, “After his substitute was assassinated by that heavenly demon knight yesterday, he has resigned as Weiji General out of fear. I’ve not imagined that he has left the theater of operations for the rear end out of fear soon after being a guerrilla general. It’s so preposterous that such a timid guy who escaped with the onset of the large-scale war could have such a great reputation in the theater of operations...”
“I agree with you, master...”
“I agree with you, Elder Feng...”
“Zhang Tie is just an undeservingly honored person...”
Those disciples of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who had suffered a loss from Zhang Tie started to swear Zhang Tie one after another after getting the essence of Feng Yexiao’s words.
In less than 1 hour, the news that Zhang Tie had left Xuanyuan Fortress for the rear end out of fear had been spread over Xuanyuan Fortress being pushed by someone malicious...
After hearing this news, someone held his own wrist out of concern, someone was disappointed, someone was driven mad, someone swore, someone was delighted in his discomfiture...
Zuoqiu Mingyue also got the news.
In the highest tower in the center of Xuanyuan Fortress, Zuoqiu Mingyue stood there with hands on his back and a slight frown as he looked at the gloomy sky in the far.
‘Where’s Zhang Tie?’
Zuoqiu Mingyue would never believe that Zhang Tie escaped out of fear. However, with the outset of the large-scale war, Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Fortress for the east soon after he was appointed as a guerrilla general. No wonder it arose heated discussions...
...
When many people in Xuanyuan Fortress were talking about Zhang Tie’s sudden departure, the thunder hawk had already landed in a remote, lofty and towering mountain in Ningzhou Province over 1,200 miles away.
Snowflakes were flying over the vast land of Ningzhou Province, whitening the ground. Facing strong wind and snow, Zhang Tie could barely open his eyes. Nobody else could be found within hundreds of miles of this mountainous area, except for Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie landed on a boulder that reached out of the cliff in the mountainous area. It was a clough beneath this cliff. In dense mist and cloud, the cliff was enshrouded by woods, making it a pretty hidden place.
There was an old vigorous pine beside the boulder. A mountain cave was right behind the boulder.
“Go back to Youzhou Province. Don’t come back unless I call you...” Zhang Tie whispered to the thunder hawk while stroking its furry head.
After receiving Zhang Tie’s order, the thunder hawk rubbed its head against Zhang Tie for a few seconds before rushing into the sky towards Youzhou Province.
As the thunder hawk only stayed here for less than 10 seconds, nobody could find that Zhang Tie had already got off his thunder hawk within hundreds of miles.
Seeing off his thunder hawk, Zhang Tie turned around and entered the mountain cave behind him.
A faint, sweet flavor emitted from the mountain cave. However, it was definitely not from an exotic herb.
A 30 cm-thick and over-30 m-long mutated bloody boa was hibernating in the cave while emitting a faintly sweet flavor.
After sensing someone entering the cave, the boa opened its eyes. However, the moment it looked into Zhang Tie’s eyes, it had been still out of fear. After sensing a bit of Zhang Tie’s looming qi, the bloody boa had felt soft all over, including its bones as if the doomsday was coming. It didn’t even have the thought to resist.
It was the qi from the “Weapon” sutra in “King Roc Sutra” that Zhang Tie cultivated. Any sort of dragon or snake would be completely oppressed by this qi, whether it was a virtual image or a mutated beast, not to mention such a tiny bloody boa.
“Baby, just sleep; don’t look around; I will not hurt you. However, if you see something, some animal controlling powerhouses might get some information from you. By then, I have to kill you...” Zhang Tie said with a smile.
Zhang Tie entered this mountain cave only for the sake of changing his clothes and look. While resting inside, he started to wait for the night.
The bloody boa seemed to have understood Zhang Tie’s words as it nodded and closed its eyes.
Zhang Tie then sat down on a clean rock inside the mountain cave. With eyes closed, he took out a water element crystal as he started to absorb it.
Zhang Tie left Xuanyuan Fortress only for promoting to a shadow knight.
He had to promote to a new stage of shadow knight at his utmost effort before Weishui River was completely frozen. Only by making it come true could he carry out his plan for a greater probability of success.
He only had fewer than 7 days left. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to break through it within 7 days.
As for common knights, it was a pretty tough breakthrough; however, for Zhang Tie who had already lit 357 scales on his water chakra, he only needed 1 or 2 earth knights of demons or heavenly reaching church to accomplish this promotion...
As earth knights of demons and heavenly reaching church were in the west, Zhang Tie especially left the theater of operations towards the east so as to eliminate suspicion.
