Those items in the room were worthless for Zhang Tie. Additionally, if Zhang Tie took them away, there would be endless troubles as long as they were identified by others. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't move them.
Since Zhang Tie blew up Wen Haoyun's head by one punch, he had planned to not let anyone else know that it was done by him. Although Wen Haoyun's head could bring him a lot of benefits and great reputation, it was nothing compared to the risk of being revenged by a powerhouse above shadow knight level for the death of his son.
It was very sophisticated in Taixia Country. Not until today did Zhang Tie figure it out a bit. Zhang Tie had not enjoyed his life yet. If he lifted his head above the parapet, it wouldn't do him any good.
When Zhang Tie walked towards the pool, he separated the veil with the ability of divine dominator.
Five stunning 18-year old naked girls were playing with water in the pool. Watching Zhang Tie coming over here, those girls directly walked out of the pool without any fear and wanted to play with Zhang Tie. Some of them even started to seduce him by twisting their waists and stroking his body.
In a split second, Zhang Tie had been surrounded by the 5 naked, innocent, romantic girls.
These girls were faintly panting and doing various seductive movements.
'These girls are definitely abnormal.'
"Brother, come on, play water with your young sister..."
"Brother, the young sister feels itchy here, touch it..."
When the girl said this, she pulled Zhang Tie's hand and had him touch her groin.
"Ta..." Zhang Tie uttered a loud syllable which contained a special strength. When they heard this sound, all the girls stayed still like being applied with a magic.
When the girls stayed still, they were still watching him with enchanting smiles. However, when Zhang Tie looked at their eyes seriously, he found their eyes were empty. The black pupils were like black stagnant water, which were lifeless and terrifying.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside. After having a try with a secret skill in Soul Forbidden Method, Zhang Tie realized that these girls had been fixed. They were just like the walking dead. Although they were still alive physically, they were already dead spiritually. They were just decorations in this pool and this room. Like those paintings on the wall and the vase on the table, they had become lifeless furnishings and tools for others to give vent to. No matter what happened in this room, they would just play with water innocently and romantically like machines here. Anyone who entered the veil could control them and become their master.
They were the most advanced and brutal furnishings and props.
If the 5 girls had just been fixed with Soul Forbidden Method, Zhang Tie could still save them. However, their spirits and souls had vanished. All their movements were preset. Even immortals could not save them. They'd better die than live.
'How many heartless things has that b*stard called the young master done?'
...
"Wish you could be others' daughters, wives, mothers and have a lot of children in the next lives; Wish you have safe lives and meet your beloved ones and never fall in the hand of bad people in the next lives!"
After whispering something to the 5 statue-like girls, Zhang Tie slightly pointed at their foreheads respectively. The 5 girls then closed their empty eyes at the same time as they lay on the ground breathlessly like having fallen asleep. They were free from pains completely.
All the living beings had their souls. Even though they had lost their spirits, they could still understand Zhang Tie's last words. When they finally closed up their eyes, they dropped off a tear at the same time...
After watching their tear stains and beautiful naked bodies by the pool for a long while, Zhang Tie finally pulled off the veil and wrapped the 5 girls' naked bodies by it. After that, he teleported them into Castle of Black Iron and had Edward bury them under flowering shrubs on the Immortal Mountain.
After doing all this, Zhang Tie's expression turned icy once again. He turned around and strode towards the gate of the room, closely followed by the saber and the sword which had just chopped off the two earth knights' limbs like a swimming fish.
When Zhang Tie was 2 m away from the gate, the golden gate had opened automatically. The two rows of fully-armored guards flatted on their arms to Zhang Tie. At the sight of the stranger walking out of the room with a solemn look, they all became stunned.
Zhang Tie didn't spare any time for them to utter a voice.
The 10 guards' metal helmets and armors were collapsed and shrunk almost at the same time by a great force as if they were made of paper.
The two rows of guards fell down silently at the same time while thick blood spurted out of their helmets and armors, covering the sumptuous carpets in a split second.
After promoting to an earth knight, with the effect of his earth chakra, Zhang Tie made a great breakthrough and entered a terrifying realm in controlling various metals with the ability of a divine dominator. When Zhang Tie was a black iron knight, he couldn't collapse and shrink those LV fighters' hard metal helmets and armors only by glancing around them. However, at this moment, it was pretty easy for him to do it.
Zhang Tie discovered this ability after promoting to an earth knight. He then became more curious about the ability of divine dominator after promoting to a shadow knight.
'After forming my earth chakra, I gained an amazing ability in controlling metals that are produced in the earth. His ability as divine dominator could resonate with metals. Although it looks unbelievable, it's pretty easy for Zhang Tie to do that. He could control metals with the ability of divine dominator even more easily than holding them.'
'If I form water chakra, could I control water with the ability of divine dominator? In the current situation, I could not control water and liquid with the ability of divine dominator.'
'What if I formed wind chakra and fire chakra?'
'Pitifully, there are very few divine dominators in this world, very few people could figure out the potential ability of this profession. Cultivation methods about this profession could be rarely touched by commoners. Therefore, I have to explore it myself step by step.'
...
Zhang Tie traversed the bloody aisle with a glassy-eyed look.
After Zhang Tie promoted to an earth knight, his ability as a divine dominator was too terrifying for those who were below knight level. Only after glancing around them, Zhang Tie had collapsed their helmets and armors and broken their heads, skeletons and guts, causing their helmets and armors their own coffins.
Zhang Tie killed everyone he saw on the way from the prow to the stern of the airboat, from the bottom to the top. Nobody could utter a voice before death.
The massacre proceeded silently.
As was predicted by Zhang Tie, there wasn't any knight on the airboat anymore.
10 minutes later, Zhang Tie killed hundreds of guards on the airboat and finally came to the cockpit of the airboat.
When he came to the cockpit, the gate opened automatically. After hearing the gate opening, the group of 7 in the cockpit turned around at the same time. Zhang Tie walked in like nobody was inside. Closely after that, the cockpit was filled with the sounds of cracking bones and splashing blood. In a split second, all the workers in the cockpit were cleaned.
Now that Zhang Tie could drive airships, he could drive airboats too because the latter was more easily operated than the former. Additionally, the airboat was matched with autopilot function.
After glancing at the navigational chart of the airboat, Zhang Tie found that the airboat was heading for Gold and Power Market. Therefore, Zhang Tie altered the course and flight height of the airboat. After making a turn, he had the airboat ascend constantly until it almost reached the highest point. When it approached the sparsely populated top region of the stratosphere, it flew towards the east at its maximal speed. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie closed all the entrances of the airboat and had the airboat enter the silent long-range flight.
After fixing the course and navigational speed of the airboat, Zhang Tie left the cockpit.
Actually, Zhang Tie could teleport this airboat into Castle of Black Iron with his spiritual energy after promoting to an earth knight. However, after considering it carefully, he gave it up. First, it was too eye-catching for him to do that. Zhang Tie didn't know whether it would arouse others' attention if such a giant suddenly disappeared in the air. By doing this, he would risk exposing his trump card. After all, it was in Taixia Country, even a thunder hawk could attract the attention of an old monster, not to mention such a huge airboat. Zhang Tie didn't want to be a target at all.
Second, this airboat was involved with the bloody soul temple, the most mysterious and terrifying force in Taixia Country. Zhang Tie didn't know how many trump cards did the bloody soul temple had in Taixia Country at all. Before the bloody soul temple was completely exterminated, if he presented this airboat in the public, it was nothing different than telling the bloody soul temple that their young major was killed by Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie would never do such a stupid thing.
Even the top 7 sects in Taixia Country couldn't completely exterminate the bloody soul temple through cooperation. As a result, some remnants of the bloody soul temple developed into the Heavens Reaching Church and disrupted the country. Given this point, Zhang Tie realized the great power and tolerance of this sect. Facing such a sect, even if someone told Zhang Tie that the bloody soul temple and Heavens Reaching Church had been exterminated once again, Zhang Tie would not fully believe in it. Because nobody knew whether this sect had any remnant and would rise again from the ashes to screw them one day.
In conclusion, as this airboat might expose his trump card and incur revenge from lunatics and conspirators, it might be worthless in Zhang Tie's eyes no matter how precious it was.
If he wanted airboats, with the ability of lotus-flower eyes, he could have a lot of opportunities to gain them. He didn't need to do that at such a great risk.
Zhang Tie was clear-minded in front of temptation.
...
After leaving the cockpit and cleaning all the corpses, Zhang Tie came to the bottom of the airboat.
There were some strange items in a room at the bottom of the airboat. Just now, Zhang Tie saw two guards leaving this room meticulously by lotus-flower eyes.
The two guards were the very ones who had carried the corpse being covered with white cloth out of the young master's room just now. They left this room empty-handed. After that, they met Zhang Tie and were killed immediately.
After coming to the front of the gate of that room at the bottom of the airboat, Zhang Tie found that the gate of that room was tightly locked. Besides, he smelt a strong bloody smell drifting from inside.
Zhang Tie slightly started his ability as a divine dominator while the three safety locks on the metal gate were unlocked automatically as if they were welcoming Zhang Tie in. After entering the room, Zhang Tie saw an 8-m high huge jar made of super-strong alloy which was always used to make senior helmets and armors. Additionally, the huge alloy jar was covered with some exotic runes. On both sides of the jar, there were stairs and handrails. On the top of the jar, there was a lid made of the same kind of alloy which could slide towards both sides.
Like the gates of the coffers in banks, the lid was thick and heavy. As it was locked by a hydraulic spiral lock, it was very difficult for one or two commoners to unlock it.
There were dense, fine pores on the lid. The strong bloody smell was drifting out of the huge jar. Zhang Tie felt that there must be something very terrifying in the huge jar.
There was indeed something very terrifying in the huge jar because Zhang Tie heard terrifying rustling from inside.
Zhang Tie didn't open that lid; instead, he just threw a glance into the huge jar by his lotus-flower eyes out of curiosity.
At the sight of the things inside the jar, Zhang Tie felt goosebumps all over.
There were many bloody rats in the huge jar. Giving out metallic luster all over, those rats were gnawing the smooth wall of the jar with sharp teeth.
The inside smooth wall of the huge jar had long been covered with pits. If not the inside wall of this huge jar was 20 cm thicker, it had long been bitten through by those rats.
There were some white strips of cloth, scattered broken bones and fresh blood stains inside the huge jar.
Zhang Tie realized that this huge jar was used for dealing with corpses on the airboat.
Zhang Tie was familiar with those bloody rats. When in Ice and Snow Wilderness, Zhang Tie had seen mutated rats of their same kind. Although these mutated rats were smaller to those in Ice and Snow Wilderness, they were more destructive and flexible.
Watching those runes over the huge jar and those mutated rats inside it, Zhang Tie realized that the sc*mbag called the young master might want to cultivate a mutated rat king or have these rats mutate once again.
Zhang Tie immediately recalled the letter that Cloud Crane left to him. In the letter, Cloud Crane expressed his opinion about cultivating millions of mutated rats so as to reinvigorate the undertaking of the Great Wilderness Sect in the south border of Taixia Country. Given this point, Zhang Tie knew that mutated rats were pretty terrifying.
'Was the extermination of the Great Wilderness Sect related to Heavens Reaching Church or it was just a coincidence?'
The rustling drifting from inside the huge jar made Zhang Tie quiver all over unconsciously. After thinking for a short moment in the room, he ran his spiritual energy and opened the lid on the huge jar.
The lid was composed of two layers. The lower layer of the lid could prevent the mutated rats from escaping out of the huge jar. They could put in corpse onto the lower layer. After that, they closed the upper layer and manipulated a device outside the lid to drop the corpse into the jar from the lower layer.
However, Zhang Tie opened the two layers. In a split second, those mutated rats had rushed out of the lid flexibly.
Zhang Tie was not even afraid of those mutated rats previously, not to mention now.
Zhang Tie injected a great wilderness seal into the jar while all the mutated rats ran to his side like his pets. After surrounding Zhang Tie, they all looked up at him.
"Heller, how about these mutated rats?" Zhang Tie asked Heller spiritually.
"Castle Lord, don't worry, hand them to me!" Heller replied. He had already understood Zhang Tie's thought before the latter uttered, "We've not had such thrilling mutated living beings in Castle of Black Iron for a long time, these mutated rats could help me kill time!"
"Well, they are yours!"
"After coming to Xuanyuan Hill, if Castle Lord is free, you could look around for some special living beings and teleport some into Castle of Black Iron, plants or animals if there are. They might be very useful in the future..."
"Right! Even if you didn't warn me, I was also thinking about increasing some biological resources."
"That's fine, aww, we've got a great achievement this time!"
After contacting Heller and bearing Heller's requirements in mind, Zhang Tie had teleported 2/3 of these mutated rats into Castle of Black Iron. The rest hundreds of mutated rats immediately rushed out of the room after receiving the command of Zhang Tie when he pointed at the outside of the room.
...
A few minutes later, after cleaning his traces on the airboat, Zhang Tie found a secret tunnel and left the airboat through it mysteriously in the incarnation of a little beetle before watching such an extremely magnificent unpopulated airboat disappearing in front of him.
At such a speed, this airboat could fly over 13,000 miles a day. By the next morning, this airboat would completely fly out of the border of Zhongzhou Province and continue to fly towards the west. A few days later, this airboat would leave the air territory of Taixia Country and enter the wild air territory in the west. Without a powerful external strength, this airboat might keep flying in this way forever like a ghost ship. As for where it would reach and whether it would fall into the hand of the others, it had nothing to do with Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie was sure that nobody dared prevent such a giant airboat with the air territory of Taixia Country even if some knights could catch sight of it at least in a short period. The size and magnificence of this airboat represented the identity and position of its owner in Taixia Country. Therefore, common knights dared not stop it.
Those mutated rats that Zhang Tie left in the airboat could swallow everything eatable in the airboat in a few days, leaving no bones of those dead people at all.
Therefore, this airboat was destined to disappear in the sight of everybody else. Nobody would know what happened on this airboat, except Zhang Tie himself...
...
After suspending in the air for a few seconds, Zhang Tie forcefully flapped his wings. At this moment, Zhang Tie suddenly found that the little beetle could definitely not reach the height of stratosphere with its own ability. Although the airflow in the stratosphere was stable, it was a bit excessive for a little beetle to enter it.
However, now that Zhang Tie brought the little beetle to this height, of course, he could descend.
Thankfully, the little beetle was good at flying itself. Even so, Zhang Tie still didn't plan to have this little beetle fly in the stratosphere and make any amazing movements in the air. He just had the little beetle curl up as a little heavy lump and fall off freely. Not until it entered the troposphere did it start to flap its wings once again to control its falling speed and height. After stabilizing its speed and height, the little beetle drilled into an airflow in the troposphere and flew rapidly like surfing in the airflow.
After surfing hundreds of miles away in the airflow, Zhang Tie landed in a hidden place. After that, he rushed into the sky in the incarnation of Cui Li once again towards Zhongzhou City as fast as a lightning bolt...
