After Zhang Taixuan heard Zhang Tie's words, a weird look flashed across his face. If not Zhang Tie had long figured out everything, he couldn't catch Zhang Taixuan's changing eye light either.

However, closely after that, Zhang Taixuan had recovered his generous and fair look.

“It's my pleasure, Elder Mushen! You're committed to the development of Huaiyuan Palace even at the risk of your life. In this case, I even hate that I'm limited to my ability!” Zhang Taixuan said as he let out a deep sigh towards the sky before asking Zhang Tie out of concern, “I wonder how Elder Mushen tided over these days? Do you know who's behind that conspiracy…”

At this moment, the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace had already approached them. Unlike Zhang Taixuan, these elders' concern towards Zhang Tie was real.

Soon after they had a short chat, Elder Muray had been furious as he shouted, raising his eyebrows, “What an audacious b*stard! How dare you screw Huaiyuan Palace? This time, our old guys would definitely not let you go even at the cost of our lives…”

“I think that we could figure it out starting from that knight surnamed Liu. Although Liu Changxiong has died, as long as we investigate it along this clue, we would discover something more or less!” Elder Muyun said with a solemn look too.

“Hmm, I agree with you!” the other elders said as they nodded in unison.

“It's indeed a catastrophe facing our Huaiyuan Palace. We should never give up the investigation until we find the culprit!” Zhang Taixuan said with a serious look.

At this moment, n.o.body else could understand Zhang Tie's complex emotions except Zhang Tie himself.

Soon after they had a short communication, an airs.h.i.+p, longer than 700 m, had flown over here. Before it landed, two beams of light had shot towards Zhang Tie. In a split second, they had landed in front of Zhang Tie.

They were Cheng Honglie the commander of Northeast Military Region and Zhao Guangli the chief justice of Supreme Court of Taixia Country. The moment they landed, they had started to look at Zhang Tie from his foot to his head with searchlight-like eyes. After confirming that Zhang Tie was fine, they finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

Zhang Taixuan and the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace hurriedly greeted the two people.

“It's not proper to have a conversation here. Clan head, elders and two lords, please take a seat in the palace. We will talk about it in details…”

After having a short reunion with Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit, Bai Suxian and the other peak owners had already left the palace for dealing with other affairs in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Yan Feiqing took Guo Hongyi to visit Zhang Tie's parents and family members.

…

10 minutes later, the entire palace became silent except for Zhang Tie's voice…

“…after I woke up, I found two strange knights standing in front of me with the antidote of Soul Leave in hand. They were also asking me about the recipes of fiery oil and all-purpose medicaments and the cultivation method of divine dominator!” Zhang Tie said as he took his teacup and had a sip before continuing, “As I didn't tell the former group of people about that, neither did I tell it to the two people. After realizing that I would not tell them about that, they opened the Dragon Binding Shackle to take me away from that mountain cave. I then found that all the former group of people in the underground s.p.a.ce who asked me about the secrets had died. The entire mountain cave was full of b.l.o.o.d.y stink!”

“You mean they came from two forces?” The chief justice couldn't wait to ask.

“I have no idea. When I woke up, the former group of people had died. The two knights wanted to transfer me to a new place. Therefore, I'm not sure whether they were killed by the two knights or not. I felt that the former group of people were all dare-to-die fighters below knight, who were not of significance!”

“How did you escape?”

“They used Dragon Binding Shackle and b.l.o.o.d.y Soul Immortal Needles to bind me. On that occasion, I could curb b.l.o.o.d.y Soul Immortal Needles for the time being; however, I couldn't open the Dragon Binding Shackle. Actually, I've already almost recovered. However, they didn't know that. Therefore, after they opened the Dragon Binding Shackle for me, I instantly launched a strike and killed one of them. The rest one escaped away after being injured…”

Only Zhang Tie understood whether his words were true or not. As he spoke, he threw a glance at Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Taixuan was watching him with a concerned look. After hearing that Zhang Tie didn't see the two knights until he woke up, Zhang Taixuan evidently let out a sigh of relief.

“Do you remember the looks of the two knights?” the chief justice asked Zhang Tie hurriedly.

“Of course!” Zhang Tie said as he instantly took out the head of the earth knight hunted by Ockham from Castle of Black Iron. Although the head was b.l.o.o.d.y, n.o.body at present felt uncomfortable at all; instead, all of them were gazing at that head. Zhang Tie pa.s.sed it to chief justice as he said, “It belongs to an earth knight. The one escaped away was a shadow knight…” Zhang Tie said as he paved a piece of white paper on the table and started to draw on it by a pencil. Only after a short while, the sketch of the “Elder Brother Huang” had appeared on the paper vividly. “I heard that this shadow knight's surname was Huang!”

With sketch, testimony, level and family name, if the supreme court still couldn't figure out this person, it should be revoked.

Watching the sketch, chief justice gave out shrewd eye light and strong killing intent. Cheng Honglie the commander of Northeast Military Region said with a frown, “Surnamed Huang? Ah, I might have seen him somewhere…”

Watching the sketch, Zhang Taixuan changed his face constantly. After turning shocked and vacant in the end, he suddenly opened his mouth, “I…I know him…I've not imagined…he's such a kind of a person…”
