Chapter 1211: The Plot of a Plot

After hearing that question, Zhang Tie looked at the seats of Taiyi Fantasy Sect's representatives once again.

That representative of Taiyi Fantasy Sect might not ask this question out of a good intention; however, it was indeed a good chance for Zhang Tie to launch a counter-attack towards Taiyi Fantasy Sect.

It was a knight at his 50s who asked that question. He had a dislikeable long face and an emaciated figure. His words made all the guests move their eyes onto Zhang Tie once again.

Zhang Tie replied with a smile, “May I know your name, sir?”

“This humble man is Bai Zhonghe, a junior of Taiyi Fantasy Sect!” That man stood up as he replied and cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie.

Under the gaze of everyone else, Zhang Tie looked at Bai Zhonghe for a short. After that, his body started to ripple like water waves. After the water waves calmed down, Zhang Tie had already incarnated into the look of Ba Zhonghe; besides clothes, his figure, look and hairstyle became as same as that of Bai Zhonghe.

With a sound of cras.h.i.+ng, the entire auditorium was in an uproar. Many people stood up out of amazement while watching Zhang Tie who had incarnated into another person.

“This humble man is Bai Zhonghe, a junior of Taiyi Fantasy Sect!” Zhang Tie stood up as he repeated Bai Zhonghe's words in the same voice and the same movement.

“You…you…you…” Bai Zhonghe stammered like seeing a ghost as he pointed towards Zhang Tie.

Actually, Bai Zhonghe was not the only one who felt like seeing a ghost; besides very few people who had seen Zhang Tie's body-changing immortal bloodline, almost all the 2,000-odd guests became stunned at the sight of Zhang Tie's performance.

Zhang Tie just incarnated into another person casually in such a short while. That was what made people feel terrified.

All the knights had stood up out of amazement, including the royal highness of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.

After repeating Bai Zhonghe's words, Zhang Tie's body rippled and incarnated into his original look once again under the gaze of the public.

“Immortal bloodline, immortal bloodline…” The auditorium was in an uproar as many people exclaimed.

As it was their first time to witness the legendary and unique immortal bloodline, many guests thought that they were dreaming. Therefore, they all pinched their thigh forcefully.

If the deacons and disciples of Huaiyuan Palace were not maintaining order on the spot, the exclamations would have soon turned into chaos.

“Right, it's my body-changing immortal bloodline. I could change my figure and look casually. It's just a small trick of disguise. Don't laugh at me!” Zhang Tie cupped his hands towards all directions. After that, he sat back. Closely after that, he stretched out one hand, which released a ball of five-elements battle qi which carried the features of gold, wood, water, fire and soil and constantly changed its color. At the sight of it, those who were familiar with it would know that Zhang Tie was cultivating “Five-elements Ground-look Sutra”. After a few seconds, that five-elements battle qi disappeared. Zhang Tie closed his eyes for a short while. When he opened his eyes once again, the same hand released the fiery fire-dragon battle qi. “This is the secret method of chaotic treasure body that I cultivate. As long as one grasps this secret method, one's surging points would be chaotic. At that time, one could simulate the effect of any secret method as long as one has the secret method!”

Previously, Zhang Tie told the elders of Huaiyuan Palace that it would normally take his secret method of chaotic treasure body about half an hour to convert between different battle qis and secret methods, except today. According to Zhang Tie's explanation to the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace, the rapid conversion between the battle qis of different secret methods would consume him a lot of vitality; additionally, after a rapid conversion, he could only release 30% of the total battle qi in almost one day. That was an evident and severe sequela. When in special occasion, rapid conversion might bring him fatal outcomes by sparing a chance for the enemy to attack him. However, it was very special today. In order to shock all the people who had malicious intentions about Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Tie would expose his trump cards to the public even if he had to “pay the price for that”.

The elders of Huaiyuan Palace believed in Zhang Tie's words firmly; besides, they were touched too much. Whatever, only Zhang Tie could grasp the secret method of “Chaotic Treasure Body”, Zhang Tie didn't worry that his lies would be exposed. Additionally, he didn't feel that he could have any chance to fight the others in 2 days after the rotating chakra ceremony.

Zhang Tie didn't know whether gentlemen would tell lies. Actually, Zhang Tie didn't completely treat himself as a gentleman until today. He was not simply telling lies but responding to the situations timely with the chance of the rotating chakra ceremony. The latter was the main purpose of Zhang Tie's rotating chakra ceremony. However, Zhang Tie really had not imagined that he could receive so many gifts.

Thousands of people at present witnessed the power of Zhang Tie's body-changing immortal bloodline and secret method of Chaotic Treasure Body. Therefore, the entire auditorium was in an uproar. Exclamations and communications made the square before the Ancestral Shrine Palace as boisterous as a marketplace.

In this chaos, a person in cla.s.s VI official uniform stood up as he cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie said loudly, “Please forgive me, Elder Mushen, this humble man is the land resources administer of the northeast military region. Because Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory was rewarded to Fire-Dragon Hermit Cui Li and all the certificates about Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory were signed by Cui Li, Elder Mushen should prove that Cui Li was your incarnation although you've just displayed your body-changing immortal bloodline before inheriting all the rights of Cui Li in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Whatever, we have to follow the Taixia law. Commander Cheng especially ordered this humble man to confirm the relations.h.i.+p between Elder Mushen and Cui Li and the owners.h.i.+p of all the rights and interests of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory in case of disputes and troubles!”

After hearing the official's words, the square became quiet once again. They all wanted to see how Zhang Tie proved that he was Cui Li. It would be better if Zhang Tie could display his body-changing immortal bloodline once again. He finished it too fast just now. Although many people had witnessed how Zhang Tie incarnated into another person, they wanted to watch that one more time.

“How do you want me to prove it?” Zhang Tie asked kindly. At this moment, Zhang Tie didn't believe that the imperial court of Taixia Country and Northeast Military Region would make him embarra.s.sed on this issue. They just wanted to end the gossips. Additionally, Zhang Tie would indeed meet problems in inheriting the owners.h.i.+p of properties of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory if he didn't prove the relations.h.i.+p between Cui Li and him. ‘These problems should be solved as soon as possible. Although Commander Cheng didn't come here, he has already expressed his goodwill to me.'

“Cui Li has left the complete handprints on the doc.u.ments of inheriting Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. The two complete handprints are the most important reference and certificate for us to confirm the ident.i.ty of Cui Li. If Cui Li is indeed the incarnation of Elder Mushen. As long as Elder Mushen could show us the same complete handprints, we will believe that Cui Li is your incarnation!” That official of Northeast Military Region Command said as he took out 2 lead slime seals that could keep Zhang Tie's handprints from his portable s.p.a.ce-teleportation equipment. After that, he threw a glance at the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace and had him hand the two seals to Zhang Tie.

“It's simple…” Zhang Tie replied with a smile as his two hands started to grow larger and coa.r.s.er and darker; even the grains of his palms and fingers were changing. Finally, they turned as large as a pair of cattail leaf fans. After that, Zhang Tie pressed a clear handprint on each lead mud seal, including the complete prints of his 10 fingers.

One deacon of Huaiyuan Palace handed the two lead mud seals back to the land resources administer of Northeast Military Region. The land resources administer took out an item like projector from his portable s.p.a.ce-teleportation equipment under the gaze of the public. He put a photographic negative-like semi-transparent black card on the mirror of the machine before inserting the two lead mud seals into the two slots of the machine. Four clear handprints were reflected onto the screen. After that, the 4 handprints gradually aligned with each other under the manipulation of the land resources administrator, which proved that Cui Li was indeed the incarnation of Zhang Tie.

“Elder Mushen, the handprints that you've just incarnated are as same as that left by Cui Li. It could be proved that Cui Li is your incarnation. Later on, you need to sign some more doc.u.ments so as to confirm your rights in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory!” The land resources administrator told Zhang Tie after teleporting the lead mud seals and the projector into his portable s.p.a.ce-teleportation equipment.

“Thanks!”

“You're welcome, Elder Mushen. It's my responsibility!” The land resources administrator sat down after saying that.

“Elder Mushen, I wonder where did you get the secret method of Chaotic Treasure Body? How could you not be discovered by others when you disguised as Cui Li?” Another official of Supreme Court stood up as he asked Zhang Tie politely.

“I gradually learned the secret method of Chaotic Treasure Body through gnosis in a bizarre state after being struck by a lightning bolt. My achievement mostly benefitted from the experience of being struck by a lightning bolt. As for how I could be not discovered by others when I disguised as Cui Li, Cui Li was also disguised by a wanted man in Taixia Country. That wanted man is called Zhu Liang the poisonous wolf. When I returned to Taixia Country at the beginning, I met Zhu Liang the poisonous wolf who was being chased after by some bounty criminal hunters. Zhu Liang found I was alone and wanted to kill me; however, I killed him; before his death, I read his memory in soul reading skill. Later on, I could only incarnate into Cui Li with the ability of body-changing immortal bloodline and the secret method of Chaotic Treasure Body!”

“Soul Reading Skill?” The official of Supreme Court quivered slightly all over.

“Yes, when I was fighting clans of Three-eye a.s.sociation in Waii Subcontinent, I discovered a secret method called “Soul Forbidden Method” from a member of the clan of Three-eye a.s.sociation. Therefore, I grasped soul reading skill!”

Body-changing immortal bloodline, Chaotic Treasure Body and the soul reading skill in the Soul Forbidden Method. After thinking about the 3 phrases for a short while, a gasp sounded in the auditorium at the same time.

Did it mean that Zhang Tie could disguise whoever he wanted below knight level? After reading one's memory, he incarnated into that one's look. Who else in the world could identify Zhang Tie's incarnation? If someone offended him, they didn't even know how they were killed.

Nangong Sheng's face changed a bit. Closely after that, the two elders of Immortal Fist Position Sect exchanged a glance with each other as they all saw a faint fear and shock in the opponent's eyes. ‘Thankfully, we didn't completely offend Zhang Tie at that time; otherwise, we didn't even know how we were killed…'

“Hahaha, what a soul reading secret skill…” When the others were shocked too much, a hoa.r.s.e laughter suddenly drifted from above Ancestral Shrine Palace. At the same time, a knight in a gloomy black robe appeared in the sky.

This knight had a hooknose. With weird sparkling eye light and silver hair swaying in the air, he was covered with a bizarre and grim black mist, which was constantly twisting around him like a vigorous flame as if it was going to shake off an invisible iron chain. What an amazing scene!

Black robe, hooknose, grim face, silver hair and weird mist. What a vivid image! Even though he had not appeared for a few years, the moment he showed up, he would be recognized by others at once.

“Black-robed knight Gorath, the most terrifying human voodoo pharmacist…” Someone immediately exclaimed in the west of the Ancestral Shrine Palace.

The well-known image of black-robed knight Gorath impressed people deeply. With the terrifying moons-demon miasma, this man had exterminated an entire demon corps and hundreds of millions of demonized puppets, turning a subcontinent into a ghost region. He was the most terrifying black iron human knight.

n.o.body could imagine that they could see Gorath here.

Gorath's intention was unknown; however, his extremely terrifying moons-demon miasma and changing black mist made many people in the auditorium intense.

Gorath could destroy a city or a subcontinent easily. Like a biochemical weapon which would explode at any time, this person would make others intense wherever he was. In some legends, even the air that Gorath exhaled was severely poisonous. Of course, his appearance would make some commoners feel intense. Even though those knights became alert at the sight of him; meanwhile, they all wondered why Gorath could appear here.

At the sight Gorath, Elder Muray raised his eyebrows as he intended to shoot up and ask Gorath about his intention.

“Elder Muray, take easy. This person is my friend!” Zhang Tie stopped Elder Muray with a solemn look as he looked up at “Gorath” and said, “It's nice to see you again, my friend, do you want to have a drink downside here?”

“No need, my friend, it's not inconvenient to do that. I've just collected a new destructive ptomaine recently. I cannot control it easily for the time being. I prefer to stay in the air. It would be safer!” Gorath's cold sound drifted from the sky, “Soon after I left Earth-elements Realm, I've been told that you've returned to Youzhou Province and promoted to an earth knight. I especially came here to take a look at you. I remember that you were a black iron knight a few years ago, it's really out of my imagination that you've already promoted to an earth knight. Congratulations, you're really the best Hua knight I've ever seen.”

After hearing Gorath's words, everyone believed that Zhang Tie got acquainted with Gorath before. Additionally, they were good friends.

“Hoho, I'm just lucky…” Zhang Tie replied modestly.

“According to the proverb of you Hua people, n.o.body could promote to a knight by accident. It's all your hard efforts. I'm going to leave Taixia Country. Hope we could see each other later on!”

“Where are you going?”

“I've not decided. I will think about it after leaving Taixia Country, I might go to an unpopulated isle in the ocean or somewhere in a subcontinent!”

“Well, congratulations, bon voyage. Additionally, thanks for coming to see me!” Zhang Tie cupped his hands towards Gorath.

“Gorath” nodded in the sky. After that, he threw a distant glance at Zhang Tie before flying towards the open waters outside Tiger Embracing City.

When Gorath was flying away, some knights in the auditorium wanted to chase after him; however, they were all stopped by those on their side. Therefore, n.o.body chased after him in the end because of the words of Gorath. He had just collected a new destructive ptomaine. Even Gorath himself couldn't control it. They realized that they'd better stay far away from Gorath. What was more, Gorath targeted at demons and Three-eye a.s.sociation. Additionally, he had no evil deeds; therefore, those knights who used to treat themselves as righteous ones didn't have a reason to chase after Gorath. Additionally, it was in the territory of Huaiyuan Palace and Taixia Country. If Gorath was driven mad, he might release his terrifying ptomaine miasma in Embracing Tiger City or Taixia Country as a whole. By then, who would be responsible for that?

When they thought about this, they just watched black robe knight Gorath disappearing in the sky.

“Elder Mushen, you and Gorath are friends?” Elder Muray looked at Zhang Tie with a shocked expression.

Zhang Tie nodded seriously as he replied, “I got acquainted with him in Waii Subcontinent. At that time, I protected Huaiyuan Prefecture to the end. Occasionally, I met him. He was severely injured at that time and was being chased after by demon general and the knights of Three-eye a.s.sociation. I helped him beat back those knights of Three-eye a.s.sociation. After that, we became friends. I didn't know what he had done in Waii Subcontinent since I left there. We've not seen each other for many years!”

Zhang Tie replied as if it was the truth. However, n.o.body doubted him. Because Gorath just appeared in front of him and chatted with him just now. Someone might be able to disguise as Gorath; however, they couldn't imitate Gorath's temperament especially that vigorous black mist around him which was actually a terrifying ptomaine miasma or a form of moons-demon ptomaine.

In the chilly wind, the black-robed knight Gorath arrived above the ocean. After ensuring that n.o.body was chasing after him, he dove into the sea at once.

The moment Gorath entered the sea, he had reached 60 miles away and entered an oceanic trench being covered with reefs and marine plants.

It was absolutely safe here. n.o.body could see him. Gorath looked back at the direction of the Tiger Embracing Mountain. After that, he looked at his body and turned his black robe into powders by battle qi. After that, he muttered to himself, “What a powerful body-separation skill…”

After saying the words, Gorath's body disappeared into the bubbles and twisted shadow under the water…
