Chapter 1119: Setting a Trap
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After the flock of sparrows and pigeons in the manor ate up the wheat that Zhang Tie had spread over the grass, they had flown off by flapping their wings. After flying around the garden for a short while, they flew out of the high walls of the manor towards afar...
Pigeons could reach high as they rushed into the sky in the blink of an eye. The flock of sparrows flew away while tweeting. Among those sparrows, some very strong and young sparrows flew towards the emperor's imperial city.
As there were too many birds in Xuanyuan Hill, nobody would pay attention to the movements of some sparrows and pigeons.
...
When the flock of birds flew off the manor, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian had just left the manor by a black limo.
The sound caused by the sparrows flapping their wings in the sky attracted Bai Suxian's attention. Bai Suxian then turned around and watched the sparrows flying over the treetops. Not until the flock of sparrows disappeared did Bai Suxian turn around and watch Zhang Tie with a smile, "It's said that you were feeding birds in the garden just now?"
"Haha, I just waited for you by playing with birds!" Zhang Tie explained casually.
"Can you control animals?" The young sister asked seriously.
After hearing that question, Zhang Tie's heart raced, 'Were my trivial movements discovered by Bai Suxian? No way, although I was feeding birds, I started the two secret methods in the "Gain Section" and "Control Section" of the Great Wilderness Sect silently. As for the secret method in the "Gain Section", I formed special runes in wheat by battle qi and helped some to strengthen some sparrows' health; after that, I control them using the secret method of the "Control Section". I made them my ears and eyes so that they could "raise or enlarge their army" outside. How could she notice that I was using the secret methods of Great Wilderness Sect ?
'The secret methods in the Great Wilderness Sect are top secret methods in controlling animals. All the secret methods in the Great Wilderness Sect are silent in use. Unless Bai Suxian has also learned the Great Wilderness Sect and has great accomplishment than me in it, she could never discover it.'
"Why do you ask me about this?" Zhang Tie asked leisurely.
"Do you know that I've also learned some animal controlling skill?"
"Of course, I know. When in the Earth-elements Realm, I saw that you had a red spider as your concierge. Finally, I was even drugged by your spirit and raped by you. My good reputation was completely ruined by you overnight!" Zhang Tie let out a long sigh, "Who could imagine that a young sister could put a love potion in the spirit of a man? However, I encountered such a fortunate thing!"
"Stop..." Bai Suxian beat Zhang Tie once with a bashful look. Zhang Tie burst out into laughter.
They sat at the back seats which were isolated from the front seats; therefore, they were not afraid that their words were eavesdropped by the driver.
"I mean it!" Bai Suxian turned solemn, "If a knight grasped some animal controlling skill, it would be very useful in an emergency. In Earth-elements Realm, even a bit of animal controlling skill would be more useful than having a LV 15 battle spirit as my concierge in the hidden place. I learned how to control animals from a guest in my father's mansion. Although it's just a bit, it's enough in a special environment. If you want to learn it, you could go to Lord Guangnan's Mansion with me next time; I will tell my father and have you learn some animal controlling skill from the guest of the mansion. Whatever, the more skills you grasped, the safer you would be. After learning some animal controlling skill, you would be a bit safer in the Earth-elements Realm if you went there in the future!"
'It turns out Bai Suxian is going to introduce her teacher of animal controlling skill to me.' Zhang Tie was startled too much. Closely after figuring out Bai Suxian's meaning, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside at once. Although he knew that Bai Suxian had a good intention, Zhang Tie still felt it was a bit hilarious, 'As long as I'm free, I could cultivate the Great Wilderness Sect , it's just a matter of time for me to reach the peak of animal controlling skill. Why do I learn any inferior animal controlling skill?' Although Zhang Tie thought in this way, he couldn't tell Bai Suxian what he was thinking about; especially when Bai Suxian was very passionate. Therefore, Zhang Tie just went through the motions.
"Of course, I could. It's nothing bad to learn a bit animal controlling skill. When I go to Lord Guangnan's Mansion with you in the future, I could learn it from a guest instructor in the mansion. And, I heard that animal controlling skill is a major knowledge in the south border of Taixia Country!"
"Previously, when the Great Wilderness Sect was not exterminated, animal controlling skill was predominated in the south border of Taixia Country. Many elders of the Great Wilderness Sect even had knight-level mutated beasts as their battle mounts at that moment. Many knight-level mutated beasts had special abilities which were even more powerful than that of common knights. Additionally, they had telepathy with the elders of Great Wilderness Sect ; therefore, when in a fight, one knight-level elder of Great Wilderness Sect could easily defeat more than two common knights!"
"Knight-level mutated beasts? Are there such high-level mutated beasts in the south border?"
"Of course, there're mutated beasts in many places across Taixia Country. However, many mutated beasts have been hunted or driven away over the past hundreds of years as they are too close to cities and human habitations and posed great threats to humans or have special values. Therefore, we could barely see them now. However, the south border of Taixia Country is covered with numerous huge mountains, dense mountain caves and abysses. It's absolutely the paradise of mutated beasts and various animals. After entering that place, even earth knights could not leave safe and sound, not to mention commoners..."
"Now that the mutated beasts and elders of Great Wilderness Sect in the south border are so powerful, how could Great Wilderness Sect be exterminated by others?"
"I was told by the animal controlling teacher that the Great Wilderness Sect was indeed the predominance of the south border previously; they were in their heyday at that time. However, there was also a bad atmosphere among the Great Wilderness Sect . Many cultivators of the Great Wilderness Sect paid special attention to the cultivation of animal controlling skill and gave up the cultivation of battle skills completely. Numerous people were jealous of the Great Wilderness Sutra of the Great Wilderness Sect which was a top treasure. Later on, the Great Wilderness Sect fell from the pinnacle of its power and was finally exterminated by a domineering power overnight. This is a suspension case in Taixia Country."
Zhang Tie had not imagined that the Great Wilderness Sect had such a vice of "tending to go overboard on one subject". However, after realizing that there were so many secret methods in the Great Wilderness Sect , Zhang Tie became reassured, 'As for many disciples even elders in the Great Wilderness Sect , as long as they could reach the highest level of Great Wilderness Sutra , they might be able to solve all the problems. Therefore, they might consider the time in cultivating battle skills as a waste...'
The history of the Great Wilderness Sect made Zhang Tie sigh with emotions inside. Meanwhile, he made a decision inside that he would not make the mistake of the Great Wilderness Sect. 'Compared to those mutated beasts, the human body is the largest treasury. The ultimate purpose of cultivation in battle skills is to open this treasury. No matter what, I would not give up cultivating battle skills. I have to keep the secret that I have the Great Wilderness Sutra . After finishing the plan in Xuanyuan Hill, I will never easily expose my cultivation base in controlling animal.'
"Alas, it's too pitiful!" Zhang Tie let a sigh for the Great Wilderness Sect sincerely, "Is your teacher great?"
"Yes, he's really something!" Bai Suxian nodded, "Now that he's recruited by my father as the guest instructor, of course, he's not usual. My father told me that this instructor was as powerful as the disciples of the Great Wilderness Sect who had reached the 9th floor of the tower. Additionally, some of this instructor's abilities indeed originate from some secret methods left by the Great Wilderness Sect..."
"Disciples who had reached the 9th floor of the tower?" Zhang Tie's look turned weird because Bai Suxian's words reminded him of the All-Spirits Pagoda in his mind sea. He then asked, "The level sounds a bit weird!"
"I don't know it either. I just heard that the levels of animal controllers in the south border almost originated from the Great Wilderness Sect. Generally, the criteria of the Great Wilderness Sect are the criteria of the entire animal controlling system in Taixia Country!"
"Are disciples on the 9th floor of the tower very powerful?"
"Yes, they're very powerful. This instructor could control all the mutated beasts below LV 8!"
"Hmm, it sounds indeed great!" Zhang Tie praised as he thought that, 'If a disciple on the 9th floor of All-spirits Pagoda is powerful, what about me the disciple who has reached the 15th floor of All-Spirits Pagoda?'
"I feel that you look a bit strange!" Bai Suxian said as she blinked her eyes after glancing at Zhang Tie for a short while suddenly.
"Hehehe, really?" Zhang Tie rubbed his face by fingers, "Perhaps, I was thinking about the affairs between me and Guan Clan and was a bit absent-minded!"
"Oh, you said that you're going to cooperate with Guan Clan in a business in the future, what's that business?"
"We just joined hands to make some alcohol machines!"
"Liar!" Bai Suxian pouted with an unbelievable look.
"I'm not lying!"
"If you lack money, I have some case-dough given by my mom in the south border. You can take it!"
"How much case-dough did your mom give you?"
"8 cities and 1 basin. Among the 8 cities, there's a Class A city. The basin covers about 300,000 square miles. Additionally, I could have over 10 million gold coins' annuity per year from Xuanyuan Hill..."
After hearing her words, Zhang Tie became speechless. Even the "case-dough" of the princess of Taixia Country left many people behind...
"Whatever, the case-dough will follow me when I get married!" Bai Suxian threw a glance at Zhang Tie and lowered her head before whispering tenderly.
After throwing a glance at Bai Suxian, Zhang Tie scratched his finger over her nose as he said, "Money is boring. I'm just looking for an ally in Taixia Country by cooperating with Guan Clan!"
When she thought about Zhang Tie's original identity, Bai Suxian understood something, "But how much could you make from alcohol machines?"
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he said, "You will see after a few months..."
"But one ally is a bit weak!"
"Have you heard about the story of buying horse's bones at the cost of 1,000 gold coins? Starting from Guan Clan, there will be more and more allies!" Zhang Tie revealed a confident smile.
Bai Suxian didn't know what Zhang Tie wanted to do; she just felt that Zhang Tie was setting a trap, a great trap.
...
2 hours later, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian arrived at the Gold and Power Market in Xuanyuan Hill...
