Chapter 1689: Concerns Facing Dragon Emperor City
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The vehicle driven by the flying lizard was not heading for the prosperous core region of Dragon Emperor City, but a village outside the city.
It took them about 2 hours to arrive at a manor at the foot of a mountain in the east of Dragon Emperor City at dusk by the wonky vehicle.
The manor was very large. Leaning against a high mountain, it was facing a village with a river in between. It was the suburb of Dragon Emperor City while a large area of farmlands was neighboring that village.
After getting off the vehicle, they were all stunned by the manor and the wisps of smokes that rose from so households in the village on the opposite of the river.
At the sa ti, an old man was passing by with a herd of sheep on the path leading to the manor, leaving so many fresh excrents which were like black pine nuts.
With a different state of mind, Zhang Tie felt that everything here was interesting; instead of feeling embarrassed at all. By contrast, given Liu brother’s looks, Zhang Tie almost burst into laughter. They were like travelers being cheated by illegal guides.
A stern water immortal general within a dragon pattern of seven red threads in white robe was standing on the stairs outside the manor and waiting for Huang Baii’s group, hands on his back. Although he had seen them get off the vehicle, he didn’t an to approach them; instead, he just threw a glimpse at them.
“Head Huang, it’s Flyingdragon Manor, if I’m not needed here, I better get going...” The humble deacon bade farewell to Huang Baii.
“Hmm, thanks!” Huang Baii forced a genial smile towards this deacon, adding, “How are those wind immortal palaces doing in Dragon Emperor City?”
“Don’t you know about that, Head Huang? It’s said that those wind immortal palaces in Dragon Emperor City have been sold to the Emperor NvWa Palace by the church...” The humble deacon wanted to speak more; however, after taking a look at that person in white robe, he stopped. “As for others, Head Huang would know it after staying in Dragon Emperor City for a period of ti...”
“Thanks!”
“See you!”
The deacon then drove away. After taking a look at the others, Huang Baii entered the gate of the manor, followed by the others.
“Are you Huang Baii’s group from Heavenly Square City of Nine Heavens Big Domain?” That person didn’t stop talking until Huang Baii’s group ca to his front.
“Yes!” Huang Baii replied calmly.
“Follow then!” That person turned around and entered the manor, followed by Huang Baii’s group.
“These days, you will be living in Flyingdragon Manor. The daily lifestyle here is nothing different than that in the immortal palace. Two als a day, right in the canteen of the manor. No food after noon. Each one of you will have a room. New immortal generals should especially bear in mind the awards and punishnt rules in the immortal palace. Anyone who dares violate the rules would be punished two tis more severely! In addition, so immortal generals from other domains have already lived in Flyingdragon Manor. Brawl is forbidden between immortal generals here. Once being found, you would be severely punished.” that person said coldly as he turned around and looked around the others with a warning. After noticing the silver dragon pattern of seven threads at Zhang Tie’s wristbands, he slightly frowned.
“General Deacon Leng, where does this scumbag co from? Why do I feel like we owed a lot of money to him in our forr lives...” Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue using his battle qi.
“Supervision Departnt!” Leng Manxue answered Zhang Tie straightforwardly.
‘This is the Supervision Departnt?’ Zhang Tie shook his head. ‘No wonder he’s cold to everyone else.’
At the sight of Huang Baii’s group, all the servants in the manor hurriedly moved aside, waiting there and showing their respect to them. They didn’t raise their heads and return to the aisles until Huang Baii’s group passed by.
Watching their deeds, Zhang Tie knew that it was even more hierarchical in Dragon Emperor City than Heavenly Square City.
They were soon led to a courtyard by the person in white robe. The mont they entered it, they had heard broken sounds from a room along with one’s curse, “What the f*ck is this place? There’s not even a single cultivation room. This father didn’t join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to suffer from this mistreatnt, nor did I co here to take others’ orders. Damn it! We’ve been here for five days; however, we’ve not even got a job. Besides 10 elent crystals a month, we got nothing else. What the hell does that an? If I knew that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was such a sh*t place, I would never have joined it...”
At the sa ti, a fierce immortal general with whiskers slamd his door forcefully and left there, coincidentally encountered with Zhang Tie’s group. When he caught sight of the immortal general in white robe from the Supervision Departnt, he beca stunned at once.
The immortal general in white robe looked straight into that person’s eyes distantly as he scolded, “As you’ve ruined properties of the immortal palace, you need to pay tens tis more for that. The fine would be deducted from your monthly compensation. As you’ve already joined the immortal palace, if you betray the immortal palace, even if you survive the damage of the bloody pledge, you would not survive the chase of the killers dispatched by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!”
After saying these words, the immortal general in white robe ignored the fierce immortal general directly as he led Zhang Tie’s group through this courtyard and ca to a neighboring courtyard, leaving that fierce immortal palace standing still with a flush, feeling being put on the spot.
After penetrating through this courtyard and detouring around a pond, they ca to their own courtyard.
Their courtyard was neither large nor small. Covering 1,000 square ters, it was composed of two storeys and over 10 rooms. There were a lush huge tree and a pond in the courtyard. A butler was waiting there. After leaving so words to the butler and having the butler give a key to each of Zhang Tie’s group, the person in the white robe had left.
Playing with the key in hand, Zhang Tie slightly shook his head. Commoners could live in such a courtyard; however, it was really improper for immortal generals to live here as immortal generals needed the secret environnt for cultivation. This courtyard didn’t have any isolated or preventive asures at all. Therefore, nobody would feel reassured entering cultivation here. As long as they were disturbed in cultivation, they might be possessed by devils. No wonder that guy with whiskers lost his temper.
“Zhang Tie, co to my room. I’ve got sothing to talk with you!” Before Zhang Tie returned to his room, he had heard Huang Baii’s voice; therefore, Zhang Tie followed Huang Baii to his room.
At that ti, Zhang Tie saw Zhou Baifei, who got his key first, catch up with that immortal general in white robe outside the courtyard and talk to him with a big smile.
Of course, Zhang Tie was crystal clear about the contents of their talk even if he didn’t want to eavesdrop it.
As Zhang Tie listened to the talk between Zhou Baifei and that person in white robe, he entered Huang Baii’s room.
“Take a seat...”
After entering the room, Huang Baii took a glance at the room before sitting down ahead of Zhang Tie.
“Head Huang, go ahead if you have sothing to talk with ...” Zhang Tie smiled as he sat beside Huang Baii.
Huang Baii took a look at Zhang Tie, feeling sorry about him. After being silent for one second, he started the talk using his battle qi, “The current situation facing Dragon Emperor City is out of my expectation. I just heard about it. The five elders and two grand justices of the Church are all busy cultivating so that they could promote to supre immortal generals as soon as possible. Therefore...therefore...the atmosphere in Dragon Emperor City is a bit...a bit subtle...”
Zhang Tie asked with an amazed look, “Head, what do you an by ‘subtle’?”
“The five elders and two grand justices are all fire immortal generals. As long as one of them could promote to a supre immortal general within one century, that person would beco the immortal king and inherit everything of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!”
Zhang Tie acted like he finally understood it as he replied, “Oh, I see. Head, you an the relationship between the five elders and the two grand justices are not harmonious...”
“Alas, who could imagine that Dragon Emperor City would deteriorate to such a situation in such a short period of ti!” Huang Baii sighed as he added, “Last year, Dragon Emperor City was still fine. The relationship between the five elders and the two grand justices was not such intense yet. They were still working together for the sake of the immortal palace. However, during the past one year, the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace has changed a lot. You’re smart, you know what I an!”
“I see!” Zhang Tie let out a sigh too. ‘As the dragon emperor is missing, it would be strange if Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, being such a large organization, was not a ss.’ Zhang Tie thought that the semi-sage knights in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might have long started a fight if not being threatened by demons and being afraid of being shared by the other forces of immortal palaces. The action that Star Emperor Immortal Palace occupied Biyao City of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was the last straw that broke the cal’s back. The external stress led to the basic stability and divisions inside Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Those elders and grand justices had their own plans. Even if they didn’t start a brawl in the public, as they were all striving for one title, it was impossible for Dragon Emperor City to run smoothly...
“I’ve not reported what you’ve done in Heavenly Square City to the Church. Previously, you should share those booties; however, if I told the truth to the Church, you might have trouble. Therefore...”
“Thanks for your concern, head, it’s just a bit otherworldly wealth. It’s aningless to . Just let the bygones be bygones. I would not care about it!” Zhang Tie said sincerely as he understood Huang Baii’s concern. Additionally, Zhang Tie didn’t want to expose what he had done in Heavenly Square City to the public. As too many people were competing inside Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and peoples’ hearts were most complex and unpredictable, in soone’s eyes, what Zhang Tie had done might be good; however, the others might not think so.
“Glad to hear that!” Huang Baii smiled, feeling reassured, “I got the right man!”
“Previously I wanted to develop my undertaking in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. It seems that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is facing a more complex situation than I had imagined!” Zhang Tie said with a bitter smile, “Now that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is facing such a poor situation and didn’t welco us, why did they determine to recruit more immortal generals in Nine Heavens Big Domain?”
“Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is unstable. Previously, according to the Church, they wanted to recruit so more immortal generals so as to train a big formation of thousands of immortal generals after Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace contracted its force for the safety of the Dragon Emperor Big Domain. However, Elder Shi who masters the foundation of the big formation changed his opinion these days. As the other elders disagreed with him, they couldn’t make a decision; therefore, it’s a bit disordered in Dragon Emperor Big Domain now!”
Zhang Tie shook his head as he asked, “Head, are you ready to join those elders and the two grand justices? I’m afraid that soone you know would co for you earlier than tomorrow...”
After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Huang Baii quivered slightly as he watched Zhang Tie with sparkling eyes. Zhang Tie just watched him with a smile. The room beca pretty quiet at a stroke.
After a short while, Huang Baii hid his sparkling eye light as he revealed a bitter smile, saying, “It seems that you know everything. Would you believe that if I told you I don’t know either?”
“Of course!” Zhang Tie nodded as he added, “Head, you should belong to the centrist that were loyal to the Dragon Emperor before. You always kept a distance with those elders and the two grand justices. Otherwise, they would not dispatch you to Heavenly Square City which was far away from Dragon Emperor Big Domain for so many years. Facing the complex situation inside Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, I understand why head couldn’t make a decision!”
“What would you do if you were ?” Huang Baii asked Zhang Tie.
“On this occasion, if you choose to rely on an elder; of course you would be taken care of by that elder’s force. anwhile, you would be repelled by the other elders. If you don’t join any of them, you wouldn’t offend anybody; nor would you be favored by anyone. If I were you, head, I would choose the second way. I don’t care about them. I just do as sa as before!”
“Why?”
Zhang Tie revealed a disdainful smile, replying, “They just care about profits. None of them could promote to a supre immortal general after Dragon Emperor disappeared for 900 years. None of them could defeat the others and integrate the entire Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Even if all of them promoted to supre immortal generals in 100 years, they would also be defeated by immoral emperors. By following them, people wouldn’t see a bright future. If so, why do we waste our ti keeping them company? Why not jump out of this circle and find a place for cultivation. Just reply to yourself! Even if you prepare to rely on soone in the future, you should find soone with a prospect. At least, you will look clean in their eyes at that ti!”
Zhang Tie’s words shocked Huang Baii for quite a while. After a few seconds, Huang Baii asked Zhang Tie, “Now that you don’t look good at Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, why did you join it?”
Zhang Tie shrugged, saying, “It’s a coincidence. Heavenly Square City was the first city that I visited after losing my mory. As everything was strange to , I just joined the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City. It’s not bad to join an organization. I have not thought about getting anything from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. If I ca to Heavenly Square City a few days later, I might have already joined Unicorn Immortal Palace. If I ca to Biyao City at that ti, I might have already joined Star Emperor Immortal Palace...this might be God’s will!”
“What if Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace disappears in 100 years...”
“So what? Without Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, the immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace wouldn’t have to die for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; they would have other chances. Other immortal palaces would be founded in Motian Realm, and would assu their own responsibilities, fighting demons. Isn’t it good? It’s always better for human elites to fight demons under the leadership of talented ones than incompetent ones. A herd of sheep under the leadership of a lion is always more aggressive than a herd of lions under the leadership of a sheep!” Zhang Tie shrugged as if he didn’t care about anything, continuing, “After all, the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is not caused by . Those who should be responsible for it is Dragon Emperor or the Church. If the Dragon Emperor didn’t disappear and the Church was not incompetent, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would not face such a poor situation. I don’t feel sorry about it at all. I just live up to my monthly compensation and consciousness!”
Huang Baii watched Zhang Tie, shaking his head, then nodding before revealing a bitter smile, “Whatever, I’ve promised you to recomnd you to the Supervision Departnt. When I make my work report to the elders, I would fulfill my promise!”
“Just let it be...”
One minute later, watching Zhang Tie close his door, Huang Baii was slowly in ditation as he murmured, “Just let it be...would such a person really lose all of his mory...”
...
When Zhang Tie left Huang Baii’s room, Zhou Baifei had returned to the courtyard. At the sight of Zhang Tie, Zhou Baifei turned solemn at once as he returned to his room!
‘What a weirdo!’
Zhang Tie pretended to not know about it. On the way back to his room, Zhang Tie saw Jiang Ruoxin pulling Ji Yuelan out of the latter’s room with a blush. Ji Yuelan didn’t look good either.
“What’s up?” Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
“We couldn’t live in such a broken house...” Ji Yuelan lost her temper. At the sight of Zhang Tie, she instantly grabbed Zhang Tie’s hand, saying shalessly, “Whatever, we two would not live in such rooms. I’m afraid that General Deacon Leng would not live here either. As the deputy head, you have to solve this for us!”
“Ahh? Is there a cockroach, rat or sothing else disgusting inside the room?” Zhang Tie took a cursory glance at Ji Yuelan’s room as he continued, “But I don’t see any!”
“Alas, you don’t understand...” Ji Yuelan stomped her feet.
After taking a look at Jiang Ruoxin who slightly blushed and hearing the splashes of water from Liu Yong’s room, Zhang Tie understood it at once——erm, the reason is a bit ridiculous. Although they had their own rooms, all the n in the courtyard could hear clearly about those girls’ “songs” in their own rooms given the sharp auditory sense of knights. It was so embarrassing!
Zhang Tie realized that Jiang Ruoxin might have not discovered this problem at the beginning; however, when she prepared to “sing a song”, she suddenly felt sothing wrong. Therefore, she stopped it with a bashful look...
After thinking through it, Zhang Tie burst into laughter at once.
