Chapter 1500: Being Troubled

The moment Zhang Taixuan opened his mouth, all the others had fixated on him, including Zhang Tie.

Although Zhang Tie appeared a bit shocked, he was extremely calm inside; because Zhang Taixuan’s response was within his expectation.

The three knights followed Zhang Taixuan into that mountain cave. According to their talk, they were very familiar with Zhang Taixuan; especially that shadow knight surnamed Huang.

Additionally, they were not wanted by the supreme court and didn’t need to hide. Therefore, they might have already met Zhang Taixuan in Youzhou Province, in the public. Zhang Taixuan couldn’t disavow it. If Zhang Taixuan remained silent at this moment, when supreme court figured out the background of the shadow knight surnamed Huang and his trace in Youzhou Province, Zhang Taixuan’s silence would bring him big troubles. Therefore, Zhang Taixuan had to take his stand at this moment.

The reason that Zhang Tie mentioned this shadow knight surnamed Huang lay in that he wanted Zhang Taixuan to expose and denounce him himself.

After the three people were reported, the “His Majesty” must think that he was betrayed by Zhang Taixuan.

However, Zhang Taixuan had to do that at this moment for the sake of his own life. Conversely, the relation between him and that “His Majesty” would further deteriorate. Zhang Taixuan had to sacrifice something for his own safety. The deeper supreme court investigated along this clue, the more that “His Majesty” would be furious about Zhang Taixuan. That was to say, Zhang Taixuan would be cornered.

Zhang Tie’s drawing was more piercing than a direct poke into Zhang Taixuan.

“You know him?” the chief justice asked as he instantly fixated on Zhang Taixuan.

“We knew each other in the Earth-elements Realm. I always treated him as a friend. A few days ago, when Elder Mushen disappeared, this person even went to Embracing Tiger City and posed to do me a favor. Unexpectedly, he’s such kind of person...” Zhang Taixuan said with a painful and hateful look.

“Who’s he?”

After gritting his teeth inside, Zhang Taixuan replied, “He’s Huang Botao, the Immortal Raging Flame, the grand elder of Huang Clan, Mercury Palace, Qizhou Province...”

It didn’t matter even if Zhang Taixuan didn’t say it. Because the supreme court could figure out the background of this shadow knight surnamed Huang within one day. However, it would be different after Zhang Taixuan revealed it.

After hearing Zhang Taixuan’s words, the chief justice slightly moved his fingers as if he had already issued an order. These people dared screw Zhang Tie and hurt Zhang family despite world condemnation, violating Taixia laws and breaking the bottom line of a human knight, the entire Huang Clan, Mercury Palace in Qingzhou Province would be cleaned up for sure regardless of their quantity.

“Immortal, do you have other clues...” the chief justice asked Zhang Tie again.

Zhang Tie slightly frowned as he said, “I remember that the two knights planned to send me to Yinzhou Province; they even mentioned Sagus, the Abyss King of demons...”

Yinzhou Province was the “capital” of Heavens Reaching Empire. Although Zhang Tie didn’t say the two knights colluded with demons as remnants of Heavens Reaching Church, Zhang Tie’s words had already branded them with the stigma of lackeys of Heavens Reaching Church and demons.

Heavens Reaching Church and demons were the public enemies of humans. Supreme Court, the Military and Xuanyuan Hill would never show mercy to them; instead, all of them would be killed in the end.

Although neither the three people nor Zhang Taixuan belonged to Heavens Reaching Church or demons, they were as Zhang Tie told. Who else could refute Zhang Tie at this moment? Additionally, it was reasonable for Zhang Tie to owe it to demons and Heavens Reaching Church, which adapted to the guess and anticipation of many people.

Zhang Tie was using supreme court even the military of Taixia Country to kill people, namely driving tigers to engulf wolves. Zhang Tie essentially aimed at that “His Majesty”.

At this moment, the so-called truth became unimportant.

No matter how powerful was that prince, he didn’t take any action in this case. Because if they took any action, it was nothing different than admitting themselves as the lackeys of demons and the remnants of Heavens Reaching Church. By then, they would become the public enemy of humans as a whole. Additionally, Zhang Tie could avenge them without having to shoulder any outcome.

As was imagined by Zhang Tie, both the chief justice and Cheng Honglie revealed a solemn look when they heard Zhang Tie’s words.

Zhang Tie threw a stealthy glance at Zhang Taixuan. Although Zhang Taixuan looked calm, his face turned much paler when he heard demons and Heavens Reaching Church.

The deeper the supreme court and the military of Taixia Country investigated along the clue of Huang Botao, the greater condemnation would Zhang Taixuan carry from that prince.

After catching such a clue, Mr. Li, the chief justice couldn’t wait to watch Zhang Tie, saying, “It’s said that immortal has brought back Ma Aiyun. I wonder...”

“Ma Aiyun was cheated. She knew nothing at all. These days, she had been terror-shocked and fatigued. I’ve already had her take a rest. If Mr. Li has any question, just ask me...” Zhang Tie said straightforwardly.

Only one of the three senior sister apprentices who invited Zhang Tie for a party stayed alive. Now that Ma Aiyun was kept alive, it indicated that she was something different than the other two or that she could influence Zhang Tie’s decision. They could definitely find clues from Ma Aiyun. However, as Zhang Tie had already brought the head of an earth knight and exposed the clue of Huang Clan, it could already clarify the problem. A LV 9 fighter of Huaiyuan Palace was at most a piece being used to seduce Zhang Tie. Her life was of significance. It was unnecessary for them to stir up Zhang Tie because of her.

As many thoughts flashed through his mind, the chief justice instantly stood up as he said with a solemn look, “This event is very important. I shall notice His Majesty right away. Now that it’s concerned about Heavens Reaching Church and demons, it couldn’t be determined by me. I shall go to Qizhou Province to catch Immortal Raging Flame Huang Botao and the remnants of Heavens Reaching Church at once in case they escape away. Before you hear any action in Qizhou Province, please don’t leak this message to the public. See you...”

...

Zhang Tie and the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace then saw off the chief justice and commander of the Northeast Military Region. Watching that airboat heading southwards at the fastest speed, Zhang Tie fixated on Zhang Taixuan as he asked surprisingly, “Clan head, are you okay? You don’t look good...”

Zhang Taixuan indeed didn’t look good. After hearing Zhang Tie’s question, he forced a smile, saying, “I was very intense these days. After Elder Mushen came back, I feel a bit tired perhaps...”

“Clan head just stayed in Embracing Tiger Mountain these days for the sake of Elder Mushen. He almost didn’t rest...” Elder Muyuan sighed on one side.
