Castle of Black Iron

After the young man finished his words for less than 5 minutes, hundreds of people’s tidy footsteps and armor frictions had drifted inside from outside the boîte.

Given the sound, although hundreds of people were running over here, their footsteps were consistent. Only elites could have such rapid, constant and extremely shocking footsteps.

After hearing the tidy footsteps outside the boîte, some customers who were watching the young man in the private room revealed a sneer as they were waiting for a good performance.

The two guards of the young man became intense evidently. Even the young man slightly changed his face. He had not imagined that the troop of Jinwu City could arrive so fast. Although he slightly changed his face, the young man might have a reliance as he picked up his glass and had a mouthful of liquor in a calm way. Closely after that, he said loudly. “Morality, ethics, mercy and righteousness are the four basic demands for humans. If one couldn’t comply with them, one is nothing different than an animal. There’s a saying on the Far-ancient Moral Stele…”

The tidy footsteps stopped outside the boîte and surrounded it at once. In less than 10 seconds, the stairs of the boîte had started to rock. Under the leadership of a waiter of the boîte, a red-face tough man in black armor, a team of armored soldiers had clattered upstairs while their footsteps interrupted the young man’s words.

“Where’s the rumormonger? Who dared slander Elder Mushen?” The tough man in the red face with a pair of dense machete-shaped eyebrows asked with full of killing intent as he glanced around.

“That’s him!” The situation that nobody dared be the witness in the film would never appear at this moment. Over 10 fingers pointed at the 3 customers in the private room in a split second, including the waiter who led the team of Jinwu guards upstairs.

Closely after that, over 10 spears and 6 heavy crossbows targeted at the 3 people in the private room and besieged the 3 customers.

At this moment, besides that young man who was still sitting on the chair, his two guards had already stood up in a vigilant manner. The two guards both had sharp eyes. At the sight of the heavy crossbows, they had known that the safes of the crossbows had been opened. Such heavy crossbows could penetrate through common armors and helmets, unless battle demon-level powerhouses who had formed protective battle qi or heavy armor. Given their cold eye light and stable hands on the crossbows, these crossbowmen were all experienced elites, who didn’t care about killing a person at all.

The red-face tough man squinted at the 3 people; especially the young man who pretended to be calm before saying in a colder voice, “Heavens Reaching Church colludes with demons and are causing troubles across Taixia Country. Besides, Heavens Reaching Church fermented the tragedy in Fuhai City in order to slander Elder Mushen. I doubt that you 3 are colluding with Heavens Reaching Church and cooking rumors in Jinwu City so as to ruin the reputation of Elder Mushen. Please coordinate with our investigation. I count 3, you’d better kneel down on the ground with your hands on your head. If anyone of you dares resist, you will die, 1…”

“Hoho, Zhang family of Jinwu City are really imposing. Do you really think that this childe could be scared so easily…” The young childe sneered.

“2…” The red-face tough man uttered like a pendulum while putting his hand onto the handle of the sword at his waist.

The young childe changed his face once again as he sprung up at once, “How dare you be that presumptuous? My grandpa is…”

“3…”

“Watch out, childe…”

Soon after the 3 words, before the red-face tough man sent the order, those crossbowmen had triggered their weapons while shooting 6 bolts towards the 3 people.

The sonic boom caused by the strong bolts and the roars of the two guards of the young man and the miserable shriek of the young childe.

The 2 guards blocked 5 bolts, while the rest one penetrated through the gap and nailed onto the thigh of the young childe, causing a punch-sized bloody hole on his thigh.

The young childe fell down while shrieking in a heart-wrenching way.

Over 10 sharp spears formed a cluster and stabbed towards the two guards like a cluster of steel spikes. The two guards were both above LV 10. However, at this moment, they dared not hurt those Jinwu guards. They both knew that they would never leave Jinwu City alive if they killed any Jinwu guard. There were knights in Jinwu City. The entire Youzhou Province belonged to Huaiyuan Palace. However, the two guards had just promoted to battle generals. When one of them blocked off the cluster of spears by one palm, the other one was blocked by the red-face tough man who was rushing towards him.

In the blink of an eye, they had collided 3 times, causing loud sounds, “bang, bang, bang”. The table and chairs in the private room were shattered at once. Additionally, that guard of the young childe was sent flying backward. The other guard noticed that the spears soon targeted at the 3 of them once again and were ready for the second round of attack while the red-face tough man who had defeated his partner was evidently a battle-demon level powerhouse, he immediately made a decision. He hurriedly moved backward and came to the side of that young childe. After that, he raised his hands as he shouted, “Stop, we would like to surrender. We’re not members of Heavens Reaching Church. We came from Shengzhou Province and stayed in Jinwu City for a short period. Our childe is the grandson of the provincial governor of Shengzhou Province…”

…

The chaos in the boîte was soon appeased. In the blink of an eye, the former private room had been messed up. Additionally, 2 of the 3 people in the private room had lain on the ground while the other 1 was kneeling down.

Two fighters walked forward and stabbed a fine, long needle into the shrine surging point of each guard. After that, they put on a set of special shackles for the two guards. The two guards looked depressed at once. Closely after that, they were taken away.

“You…are dead…how dare you to treat me in this way…you’re dead…my grandpa is…”

The young childe still swore on the ground with a huge hole on his thigh. The red-face tough man couldn’t stand it any more as he directly slapped the young childe’s mouth by his long sword together with the sheath. As a result, at least half of the young childe’s teeth had been sent flying away. Closely after that, he tilted his head and passed out before being drawing away like a dead dog by two fighters.

After the 3 people were taken away, the boîte became boisterous once again. Curiously, the greater part of customers didn’t leave. This also indicated the general mood in Taixia Country. Unless when they really met demons or members of Heavens Reaching Church, generally, a great number of people would like to stay to watch the fun on such an occasion.

“I’ve not imagined that these b*stards come from a clan of the provincal governor!”

“So what? They’re just b*stards of the Gobbling Party. Pah, even a b*stard of the Gobbling Party dare not be so presumptuous in Youzhou Province, doesn’t he know that the Gobbling Party don’t have a market in Youzhou Province? How dare he break wind here?”

“Yup, everybody in Jinwu City knows that Elder Mushen has an exceptional aptitude. Elder Mushen’s 3 sons in Fuhai City were all delivered by three madams after being pregnant for 1 year. The 3 sons of Elder Mushen were given birth to on the same day. They were born with leakless bodies; additionally, they had awakened some great ancestral bloodlines. It’s said that when they came to this world, the entire delivery room was full of special fragrance, which even shocked the entire Fuhai City. As someone of Fan Clan in Yingzhou was working as the household register director in Fuhai City. After seeing such a special phenomenon, household register director Fan posed to unite by marriage. Later on, Elder Mushen was screwed and wanted across the country; however, everybody in Huaiyuan Palace knew that it took his 3 wives 1 year to deliver his 3 sons…”

“If not being born to be special, how could Elder Mushen’s 3 sons be recruited as apprentices by an elder of Heavens Fortune Sect at a such a young age?”

“Is that b*stard blind? How dare he slander Elder Mushen in Jinwu City? Does he think that our Jinwu City could be easily bullied?”

The upstairs was in an uproar at once. Seeing the 3 trouble-makers being taken away in the blink of an eye, everybody else felt pretty cool.

At this moment, another constant clatter sounded while the boss who was a bit fat ran upstairs and hailed the red-face tough man with a smile, “General Lin, I told a waiter to report to Jinwu Guards; I’ve not imagined that General Lin could come here so fast. It’s cold outside. Please have brothers outside the boîte to have a hot drink in my boîte. I’ve already had people arrange well two courtyards downstairs. The drinks and dishes are ready!”

“No need. Just now, I was patrolling with my subordinates; coincidentally, we met the waiter. Therefore, we came here so fast. Jinwu City tonight is different than usual. I will not waste time here. I have to look around with my brothers in case these blind b*stards find us trouble. Damn, how dare they find trouble in Jinwu City? Are they seeking for death…”

The red-face tough man was a general of Jinwu Guards, no wonder he had such a great battle strength.

“General, why is it so boisterous in the internal city today?”

The red-face tough man burst out into laughter. He glanced around before chesting out and saying loudly, “Elder Mushen has come back today. He’s in the internal city. Besides, Elder Mushen has promoted to an earth knight…”

The red-face tough man’s reply shocked all the others. The boss’ fat face quivered for a short while. After that, his voice became shrill as if he was yelling his lungs out, “What? Elder Mushen has come back? He’s promoted to an earth knight?”

“Yup, The Fire-Dragon Hermit who had established the Iron-Dragon Sect in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory a few days ago was an incarnation of Elder Mushen. Elder Mushen’s secret methods had already entered an unpredictable realm. I will see who dare find Jinwu City trouble later on…”

After saying this, the red-face tough man directly left the boîte. After being silent for a few seconds, the boîte became boisterous in a split second. Closely after that, a great number of people rushed out of the boîte. Some of them were rushing back to their residences; some were hurriedly seeking for remote-sensing equipment. All in all, they would pass this important message back as soon as possible.

In less than half an hour, everyone across Jinwu City had known that Elder Mushen had come back and had already promoted to an earth knight. The entire Jinwu City was in an uproar. The news that Zhang Tie had come back to Jinwu City was soon spread across Youzhou Province, the entire Northeast Military Region and Taixia Country as a whole, causing a great shock…
