Castle of Black Iron

The color of cloak represented the identity of high-level demon general on the battlefield. Red cloak represented supreme demon general, namely sage-level demon knight; golden cloak implied demon emperor; black cloak represented fire demon general, also semi-sage level night. Those below fire demon generals were not qualified to wear cloaks.

At this moment, that spider demon general in red cloak was followed by 2 spider demons in red cloaks and 4 spider demons who didn’t wear cloaks. Even the 4 spider demons who didn’t wear cloaks were also wind demon generals…

Facing such a team, even though Zhang Tie and Immortal Being in Cloud were still hiding in that pit, they dared not come out either. They could only start Plan B to survive themselves, not to mention hunting demons.

After glancing over the valley, the demon sage-level knight in red cloak instantly gazed at the place where Immortal Being in Cloud broke that jade vial one day ago. He rushed towards that place. Closely after that, some pieces of the jade vial flew towards his hand as he sucked the air.

The sage-level knight slightly moved his nose. Closely after that, a gloomy green light flashed across his eyes. Then, he roared in a hoarse voice which sounded like how a rusty saber was used to scrape a stone, “Essence of 10,000-year-old Tranquil Grass in flower…”

After hearing his growl, all the other 6 demon generals instantly flew away and started to search over the surroundings in 6 directions before the sage-level knight opened his mouth.

They searched over the surrounding valleys and mountain peaks in the same way——first, see and sense; then, strike those uncertain places with battle qi.

In the rumbling battle qi strikes, only after a short while, all the surrounding places where people might hide in had been bombed. As a result, it was messy all over with broken stones over the ground. Some places even changed their topography.

“Lord, there’s no human immortal generals in the surroundings…” After 6 demon generals flew back, a fire demon general in black cloak reported.

“It means that they’ve already gone… for almost a day…” The sage-level spider demon knight opened his mouth icily.

“Lord, do we need to…” that demon general in black cloak asked as a sharp fierce qi flashed across his eyes. At the same time, all the other demon generals started to breathe heavily.

“No need. His Majesty summons us for something more important. We shouldn’t miss the more important thing only for such a small thing. Let’s go back to our gathering place and talk about it later!” As he said, the sage-level knight had already flown far away, closely followed by the other demon generals.

“Inform all the demon generals, humans have already mastered the method to extract the essence of 10,000-year-old Tranquil Grass with flower. In the future, all the spider demon generals should take precautions against the trap that humans set with the essence of 10,000-year-old Tranquil Grass with flower…” The sage-level spider demon knight sent another order in the air.

“Yes, sir…”

Coincidentally, the 7 demon generals’ direction was consistent to where Zhang Tie left for yesterday…

…

When these demon generals left the deep valley, Zhang Tie was hovering and looking for his prey like a goshawk in the sky with looming lotus-flower light in his pupils. Additionally, he kept scanning the air territory within 600 miles.

After leaving the valley, Zhang Tie didn’t know where to go. Therefore, he determined to fly towards the direction where that demon general left for 13 days ago.

At this moment, Zhang Tie had already activated the ability of invisible Shen bead and applied a master-level hiding rune to himself. Although he was in the sky, he didn’t release any qi. He was absolutely transparent. If not being approached by a demon emperor, he could almost not be discovered.

It was very risky in Mountain Ruins. Anyone here was above the level of wind immortal general. Even sage-level knights, immortal emperors or demon emperors always wandered in Mountain Ruins. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to be careful for the sake of safety.

Of course, a prey that could conceal its body and its qi at the same time could barely be discovered by hunters. However, if a hunter could conceal his body and qi at the same time, it would be a catastrophe for preys.

At this moment, Zhang Tie was aware that he might be a prey; meanwhile, he was brave and decisive enough to be a hunter.

Zhang Tie was not turning around blindly despite that he was trying his luck. He kept flying in zigzag in a huge fan-shaped air zone.

Zhang Tie had determined to catch some demon knights. He believed that he could encounter some demon knights in this way sooner or later unless all the demon generals in Mountain Ruins had disappeared or died. He was already in the 7 change realm of the heavenly knight. If he was lucky enough, after killing 5-6 demon heavenly knights or semi-sage level knights, he could definitely promote to a semi-sage level knight.

‘In this way, I could take the initiative. Even though I couldn’t get any achievement within a short period of time, it was definitely much better than staying in the valley and keeping a close eye on the still trap.’

‘With so many secret methods, I should have long done that. Although it seems easier to wait for a target in a fixed place, it doesn’t suit me. I was really stupid these days…’

Zhang Tie mocked himself in flight.

Since he left that deep valley, Zhang Tie had been searching over enemies for a whole day in vain. However, Zhang Tie was not disappointed; because he had long learned to be strong-willed from wild wolves when he attended survival training in Blackhot City as a student.

Even though he looked around for another month in vain, it was nothing a big deal. In the worst scenario, he would search over another air zone. As long as he stuck to it, he would acquire something sooner or later.

With this mentality, Zhang Tie continued to wander in the sky at an average speed. At the same time, he scanned air-floating mountains one after another by extending his spiritual energy. Additionally, he meticulously stayed away from those space cracks in the sky.

In Zhang Tie’s eyes, those air-floating mountains were even more brilliant than gold mountains. Zhang Tie had intended to teleport those air-floating mountains into Castle of Black Iron for many times; however, he stopped himself in the end. Zhang Tie kept warning himself——my primary target here is to promote to a semi-sage level knight. As long as I could increase my battle force constantly, I will have many opportunities to teleport as many air-floating mountains as possible into Castle of Black Iron in the future. If I did that now, it would be too eye-catching…

Perhaps benefited from releasing spike shrimps during these days or because of good luck, a few hours later, Zhang Tie finally saw a demon general coming out of an undulating air-floating mountain over 600 miles away.

Although it was over 600 miles away, with lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could still spot the look of that demon general——it was a spider demon. Given its speed of over 1,000 m per second, it should be a heavenly demon knight.

Zhang Tie was ecstatic at a stroke as he immediately activated his flight ability as a divine dominator. At the same time, his speed surged by more than 10 times from over 1,000 m per second…

Like a wild wolf which had discovered its prey, Zhang Tie instantly targeted at his prey with shiny eyes and rushed over there.

The closer he was to his prey, the more meticulous he was and slower his speed would be. Only after a few minutes, the heavenly spider demon general had already appeared over 60 miles away ahead of Zhang Tie and gradually become clearer in Zhang Tie’s eyes, even though he didn’t activate his lotus-flower eyes.

Licking his lips, Zhang Tie estimated the distance between him and the heavenly demon spider demon. If Zhang Tie sprinted, 10 seconds later, he would touch his target. However, that heavenly spider demon general was just a piece of cake for Zhang Tie.

When Zhang Tie was ready for charging at his target like a wild wolf, another demon knight suddenly appeared in front of him…

An iron-armored demon knight in red cloak was approaching him from 3 o’clock direction.

Given the red cloak, Zhang Tie knew that it was a sage-level knight.

At the sight of the sage-level demon knight, Zhang Tie who wanted to charge at his prey became slightly hesitant.

Zhang Tie was confident that he could kill that heavenly spider demon knight and refine its chakra before the arrival of the iron-armored sage-level demon knight. However, if he suddenly showed up and escaped away right in front of the iron-armored sage-level demon knight, he would expose himself. Perhaps that iron-armored demon knight didn’t know who he was, as long as Versatile Demon Emperor know that it was him, he probably would discover his trace again.

The fire chakra of the spider demon was indeed alluring; however, Zhang Tie had to consider the risk of exposing himself.

When Zhang Tie became a bit hesitant, he caught sight of 3 more demon generals——all of them were spider demons; 1 semi-sage demon knight in black cloak, 2 heavenly demon knights. All of them appeared at 4 o’clock direction in the sky.

Zhang Tie was shocked at a stroke. ‘What happened? Why did so many demon immortal generals gather here all of a sudden? They are flying towards the same direction…’

In this case, Zhang Tie couldn’t launch a strike anymore.

However, after a short while, two more demon generals in red cloaks appeared at 9 o’clock direction in the sky. The two demon generals might come together. At the sight of their red cloaks, Zhang Tie silently swallowed his saliva…
