Chapter 1076: The King Roc Flapped Its Wings

In a chaotic world, one had to do something that he didn't like to do.

Zhang Tie felt that he was a bit unfortunate. Previously, when in Waii Subcontinent, he always felt that Taixia Country was a safe place. Even in the holy war, Taixia Country would also be a safe place for humans which would maintain prosperity forever. Zhang Tie thought that he and his family members could have a safe and stable home here. Even before coming to Taixia Country, Zhang Tie had a faintly crazy idea——at the critical moment, he would organize a fleet from Taixia Country to evacuate those people from Ice and Snow Wilderness.

However, only after coming to Taixia Country for a short period, Zhang Tie had already been involved in the turmoil of Taixia Country. At the arrival of the 3rd holy war, Taixia Country which had been peaceful for hundreds of years might become the center of the storm.

Demons' plots in Taixia Country were too deep-rooted. Zhang Tie didn't know how long had demons prepared for such a day, 100 years or 200 years. When this day finally arrived, the bombs that demons buried in Taixia Country started to be detonated one after another. The future of the entire Eastern Continent then became complicated.

Besides training his apprentices, Zhang Tie had another purpose in Zhongzhou Province, namely, he wanted to find that culprit among the top 9 chancellors in Taixia Country. Given the current situation, after reading the memories of those bloody figures, Zhang Tie found it was very difficult to realize that.

Wen Haoyun, the master of Wen Clan in Pingsha Valley should know something; however, that guy had already escaped away. He was still being wanted across Taixia Country. It might also be unrealistic for Zhang Tie to catch Wen Haoyun and gain some information from that guy.

'Whatever, now that I've come to Zhongzhou Province, I will take a round in Zhongzhou Province before broadening my vision in Xuanyuan Hill.'

With this thought, Zhang Tie became reassured.

After completing its materials supply in Xingyu City, Zhang Tie had Iron-Dragon Airboat leave Xingyu City for Longxi Prefecture, Zhongzhou Province on the same day.

Those alive bloody figures that Zhang Tie caught came from a branch of those bloody figures who had broken through Huian City. After destroying Huian City, facing the combined strikes from the knights of Supreme Court, knight-level powerhouses that came here from all directions and local garrisons, all the bloody figures scattered in all directions. Covering over 700 miles, they destroyed one prefecture and constantly divided into smaller teams to make troubles everywhere.

When those bloody figures escaped from Xingyu City, their total population reached over 10,000. Later on, after being struck by knights for a few times on the way, the troop started to divide into 5 regiments, each of which contained over 2,000 people. Facing constant strikes, each regiment of further divided into 5 camps, each of which contained about 400-500 people. A few days ago, these camps were further struck by local garrisons for a few times near the border of Zhongzhou Province before scattering into teams, each of which contained 40-50 members. When a team of bloody figures entered Shanghe Prefecture, Mingzhou Province, they almost killed all the people inside Xujia Village...

Although this team of bloody figures was killed, Zhang Tie had borne in mind the marching routes of the bloody figures; especially the general directions of those bloody figures after each strike.

When in Xingyu City, Zhang Tie drew a route chart on the aero map in the command module of Iron-Dragon Airboat after a consideration.

According to Zhang Tie's route chart, Iron-Dragon Airboat would fly in a snake-shaped curve instead of a straight line from Xingyu City to Pingsha Valley, Longxi Prefecture, Zhongzhou Province. Previously, Xingyu City was only over 1,300 miles away from Pingsha Valley. It only took an airboat 2 hours to finish this distance; However, according to Zhang Tie's route chart, they needed to spend almost 1 month from Xingyu City to Pingsha Valley.

On the new route chart, Zhang Tie changed the airboat into a movable military camp. It only moved 130 miles ahead a day at a very slow speed. However, Zhang Tie 121 disciples were divided into two teams. One team was composed of 60 people; the other team was composed of 61 people. They would march forward on the ground according to the route chart. At the same time, they would kill all the bloody figures that they met on the way.

Bai Suxian was a bit worried about this, "Is it okay?"

"Don't worry. There're 53 LV 9 fighters in the 2 teams totally. I've estimated that they might rarely meet a team of over 50 bloody figures on the way. All these bloody figures are disbanded, stragglers. Additionally, Liu Xing and the other 6 black-armored figures have rich battle experiences in Earth-elements Realm. They know how to deal with emergencies. Even if they met a team of over 50 bloody figures and couldn't deal with them, they only needed to send a signal to me. I'd be there soon! My disciples come from different clans and are greatly different from each other in gender, age and family background. It's a good opportunity for them to coordinate with each other; otherwise, they are just a heap of loose sand!"

Bai Suxian understood it. By doing this, Zhang Tie intended to train his apprentices and make them coordinate with each other much better besides hunting bloody figures. Additionally, he aimed to help Liu Xing, his first apprentice who had no family background, to establish his prestige among his apprentices. Among Zhang Tie's apprentices, the group of seven black-armored fighters represented by Liu Xing had poorest family backgrounds. Meanwhile, they also had the richest battle experience. Zhang Tie's plan might be very difficult for the others; however, it was as easy as pie for the seven black-armored fighters who had practiced in Earth-elements Realm.

If Liu Xing could establish his prestige among the other apprentices as Zhang Tie's first apprentice at this moment, Liu Xing's words would be followed by the other apprentices in the future.

Bai Suxian revealed a smile, "You've really cudgeled your brains for your apprentices!"

Zhang Tie also replied with a smile, "I have to. After becoming their master, I have to be responsible for them! Taixia Country might be in a greater trouble in the future. I have to have them adapt to it. If some of them were really hurt or killed, it's their destiny. They have to bear that. Even in the top 7 sects of Taixia Country, those knight-level knights might also be hurt or killed when they execute tasks. Their clans sent them to Iron-Dragon Sect not to become playboys. After entering Iron-Dragon Sect, they have to treat themselves as a piece of worthless iron no matter how dignified they were in their major clans."

Zhang Tie had made his firm determination. Actually, he had thought much more than Bai Suxian. Because the youngest and weakest two members among his 121 disciples were his nephews, Zhang Chengxu and Zhang Chengze. Zhang Tie's request was definitely a great, tough test for the two people. They were respectively 12 years old and 11.5 years old. It was indeed too young for them to participate in such an action.

However, they couldn't refuse it because of their age. Zhang Cheng Xu and Zhang Chengze were brothers; additionally, they had lit their shrine surging points and 4 surging points on their spines respectively. Given their battle strength, they had been LV 4 warriors. When Zhang Tie was at their age, he had just learned how to polish surging points. By contrast, Zhang Chengxu and Zhang Chengze had been learning battle skills from masters since very young; additionally, Zhang family didn't lack training resources; therefore, the two brothers lit 5 surging points at such a young age.

Zhang Tie could even let his nephews join in the action, not to mention the others.

During the process of materials supply, Zhang Tie went to the Building of Brightness in Xingyu City.

In the Building of Brightness of Xingyu City, Zhang Tie delivered a task to all the bounty criminal hunters in Taixia Country in the identity of the master of Fire Dragon Bounty Territory——alive bloody figures purchase. 10,000 gold coins for each bloody figure. The more, the better. The captors only need to exchange alive bloody figures for gold coins in the Northeast Military Region.

The reward of the imperial court was 5,000 gold coins for each bloody figure. However, Zhang Tie purchased alive bloody figures at two times higher price. Additionally, the more, the better. As for those bounty criminal hunters who poured in Zhongzhou Province, although alive bloody figures were a bit tricky and would take them some time to hire airships to transport alive bloody figures to the Northeast Military Region at some cost. Zhang Tie's purchasing price was still very attractive. Of course, it was not worthwhile to travel to Fire Dragon Bounty Territory only for the reward of one bloody figure. But if they could catch a lot of live bloody figures and hired an airship to transport these alive bloody figures to Fire Dragon Bounty Territory, it would be very profitable...

When Zhang Tie's airboat left Xingyu City, the news that Cui Li, the master of Fire Dragon Bounty Territory, was purchasing alive bloody figures at the price of 10,000 gold coins for each had been spread over the entire Buildings of Brightness across Zhongzhou Province and Mingzhou Province. Some clever ones had been considering how to make a fortune in this business. Over 95% of commoners in Taixia Country could not make so much money in their whole lives. Many small commercial organizations and business groups couldn't even make so much profit in one year. Everybody was crazy about this news. If not the event in Zhongzhou Province, where to find such a good opportunity to make a fortune.

When Zhang Tie was going to deliver a task in the Building of Brightness, Bai Suxian was cultivating silently in the cultivation room of the airboat. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't notice her. Until Zhang Tie came back, those people in the airboat still didn't know that Zhang Tie had delivered such a task in the Building of Brightness.

After promoting to an earth knight, gold coins had been meaningless for Zhang Tie. The gold coin was just a matter of number and material for him. Zhang Tie was clear about the purchasing power of 10,000 gold coins too. He knew that his purchasing price was even higher than that of the imperial court of Taixia Country. However, although 10,000 gold coins looked a bit much at this moment, it might be nothing in the future...

'I will make an advisement for myself in Taixia Country by the event in Zhongzhou Province only at a bit cost.' Zhang Tie believed that all the people across Taixia Country would know Cui Li the Fire Dragon Hermit and Iron-Dragon Sect after a short period.

If he wanted to do something big and make demons and those b*stards of Heavens Reaching Church feel bad, how could he have no popularity?

When Iron-Dragon Airboat left Xingyu City, many big figures and masters of major clans had received that news from their subordinates——Cui Li the Fire Dragon Hermit, also the owner of Fire Dragon Bounty Territory in Northeast Military Region is purchasing alive bloody figures at a high price. The more, the better.

After hearing this news, all the big figures and master of major clans frowned almost at the same time. Closely after that, they sent the same two orders.

First, figure out the background of Fire Dragon Hermit.

Second, figure out what Fire Dragon Hermit used those live bloody figures for.

In the coming storm that might roll over the entire Taixia Country, Zhang Tie started to forcefully flap his wings towards a looming iron wall in the future...
