Castle of Black Iron 1654 Playing With Fire

Within a few days, it was Zhang Tie's second time to accept a blood test. The high frequency aroused him a doubt——Are there many shadow knights or disguised demons in this world? Otherwise, why are humans so anxious about defending disguised demons as if they are facing great enemies?

The test method in the immortal palace was stricter than that in the airboat. In the airboat, they only pierced Zhang Tie's finger for a blood test; however, in the immortal palace, besides piercing each finger of his two hands, they even pierced his two earlobes.

It was that hot girl in fiery outfit who tested Zhang Tie's blood.

Although Zhang Tie accepted the test frankly, he still had a question as he asked Ji Yuelan secretly using battle qi, "Why do they have to test four places? Isn't one place enough?"

"Previously, it indeed worked only by piercing the objective's finger; however, disguised demons above wind demon general could master blood changing secret method and have human blood stay in their body locations for a long term. Through this secret method, they could cheat the examiners. Previously, we didn't know that disguised demons mastered such a secret method. As a result, many disguised demons mixed with humans and caused a great loss. Some immortal palaces were even destroyed. Therefore, for the sake of safety, everyone who would join the immortal palace should accept the blood test on three body parts!"

"Why on three?"

"Because it's said that disguised demons could store human blood in more body parts as they enhance their levels. Therefore, it would be safer by testing three body parts!"

Zhang Tie finally understood as he continued, "Are there many disguised demons?"

"Erm, my naive young brother. Don't you remember anything? All right, the number of disguised demons could even run a demon emperor palace. Among disguised demons, there's a Tricky Demon Emperor who plays a myriad of vicious tricks. Over the past thousands of years, Tricky Demon Emperor alone has toppled many human immortal palaces. That's terrifying..."

After hearing Ji Yuelan's words, Zhang Tie didn't fear at all; conversely, he became thrilled. Licking his lips, Zhang Tie exclaimed inside, 'Motherf*cker, previously I thought I couldn't take the fruit of source of shadow demons anymore. It appears that I might have a chance to take such fruit in Motian Realm. I might even take some fruits of plunder.'

As for the secret disgusing method of shadow demons, Zhang Tie just took it as sh*t because his lotus flower eyes were especially for identifying this ability.

The hot girl tested Zhang Tie's blood very carefully. The old man in black robe gazed at Zhang Tie during the whole process. Not until the four body parts of Zhang Tie were all proved safe did the hot girl take a look at the old man in black robe as she slightly nodded. The old man then revealed a slight smile.

In a short period of time, the five people had undergone the blood test. They all pa.s.sed it.

"I'm Huang Baimei, the head of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City. This is our general deacon Leng Manxue. On the fifth day of next month, we would hold a ceremony of making a b.l.o.o.d.y pledge in the immortal palace officially. Before then, you could live in the immortal palace and get acquainted with each other meanwhile. If you have any question, come for me or General Deacon Leng..."

After saying these words, the old man had the hot girl lead the five freshmen and women to their residence in the immortal palace.

Not until then did Zhang Tie know that hot girl was called Leng Manxue, the general deacon of this immortal palace.

After leaving the room, General Deacon Leng took the five people to their residence as she kept introducing the immortal palace for them.

"The bas.e.m.e.nt of the immortal palace is the immortal prison. The floor above the immortal prison is warehouse; the floor above warehouse is the residence for guardians, historians and deacons. Your residence is on two flanks of the top floor. Our head lives in the Head's Pavilion on the top of the immortal palace. As the grand justice, commander and driver have been dispatched to other branches, these jobs were in vacancy in our branch. I'm a.s.suming these t.i.tles for the time being. When you join the immortal palace officially and your abilities are approved by the head, you would take your jobs accordingly..."

"Driver?" Zhang Tie asked as he looked at Leng Manxue with a weird expression.

"Yes, is there any problem?"

"Haha, it's fine; it's fine!" Zhang Tie shook his head with a smile as he realized that the t.i.tle driver in the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace of Motian Realm was absolutely different than those drivers who were responsible for driving cars in Taixia Country; especially those "old drivers" in the p.o.r.nographic stories in folk boites or teahouses or brothels. Therefore, he almost laughed out.

Leng Manxue threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie. Closely after that, she said distantly, "There's a senior recovery pool in the immortal palace. You could stay inside for a few days. It might cure your brain disease. If not, when there's a chance, we will find a top doctor for you in the headquarter of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

"Haha, it's fine; thank you, thank you!" Zhang Tie said hastily.

"You seemed to not really care about your bygones?" Leng Manxue threw another glance at Zhang Tie as if she was studying him.

"Whatever, I feel good now. It's like having a fresh start. Although I couldn't remember what happened, I feel much relaxed!"

"You really think so?"

"Motian Realm is like a river. Each of us is just a fish in the river. To wet the others using one's saliva could never match forgetting each other in the river!" Zhang Tie said in a poetic way, which was actually a cla.s.sic line which had been carried forward for thousands of years in Taixia Country.

After hearing Zhang Tie's last words, except for Liu Meng and Liu Yong, all the three women fixed their eyes on Zhang Tie with amazed looks as they slowed down their pace in the split second. Ji Yuelan's eyes were flickering while a brilliant light flashed across Jiang Ruoxin's eyes.

The line actually originated from Zhuangtzi, a Hua sage in ancient times, a great philosopher and man of letters. His cla.s.sic words contained exceptional thoughts and human moods, which were enlightening and shocking even after thousands of years.

Not knowing why, after hearing Zhang Tie's words, Leng Manxue didn't say anything; instead she was thinking about something. After taking them to their residence, Leng Manxue opened her mouth again. According to Leng Manxue, Zhang Tie knew that the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City had already recruited three immortal generals before today. Two of the three fresh employees were cultivating in their own rooms while the other one was executing a task outside. Today, the Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City recruited 5 more immortal generals, the most over these days.

"Each one of you would have a private room. Each room is installed with rune instruments for the sake of your safety. Therefore, you could cultivate inside your room without any concern. Additionally, you would have two free meals a day in the immortal palace, one breakfast and one lunch. If you have any questions, you could reach to the deacons here..."

The five people's rooms were close to each other in the same corridor. Zhang Tie's room was in the corner. After taking him to his room and handing him a rune metal plate which served as the key, Leng Manxue left there directly.

Watching Leng Manxue leaving, Zhang Tie played the metal plate for a few seconds. Just now, he had already seen Ji Yuelan open the door using the key. Therefore, he imitated her to insert the metal plate into the slot on the doorframe. With a "click" sound, the door was unlocked. Zhang Tie then drew out the metal plate and pushed open the door before walking in.

Being very large and clean, this room covered over 100 square meters. It was matched with the whole set of furniture and beddings. From the windows, he could take a bird's-eye view over the entire Heavenly Square City as the immortal palace was the highest building in this city. He could even see the cascading waterfall from the airborne snow mountain in the distance.

After taking a look around this room using his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie found the furnis.h.i.+ngs in this room were indeed safe and private as was told by Leng Manxue. He could cultivate in the cultivation room without any concern.

'It's fixed?' Zhang Tie heaved a deep sigh.

There was an empty bookshelf in the room. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt pitiful as he lost a chance to quickly learn about Motian Realm. Right then, he heard knocks.

Zhang Tie opened the door as he found it was Ji Yuelan and her female partner Jiang Ruoxin.

"Young brother, it's said that flying pulp in Heavenly Square City tastes good. As there's no supper in the immortal palace, how about hanging out and eating some food..." Ji Yuelan said as pa.s.sionately as before. As for Jiang Ruoxin, although she remained distant, her eyes contained more curiosity about Zhang Tie as if she didn't oppose to take a walk with Zhang Tie outside.

"It would be nice..." Zhang Tie nodded as he walked out of his room and closed the door.

When they arrived at the door of Liu Meng, Liu Meng's door suddenly opened while two heads were exposed. At the sight of Zhang Tie and the two girls, Liu Meng and Liu Yong uttered, "Erm, what a coincidence...you...you're going out too?"

"Yes, we're going to hang out and eat some food. Would you like to come with us?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile; instead of revealing the awkward "coincidence" created by the two brothers.

"Yes, yes..." the two brothers hurriedly answered. Closely after that, they walked out and smirked before leaving with Zhang Tie, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin.

Ji Yuelan didn't know whether she should laugh or cry about the two brothers' deed. As a result, she glared at Zhang Tie, not knowing whether he was really silly or not. By contrast, Jiang Ruoxin became more curious about Zhang Tie——just now, when Zhang Tie flirted with Ji Yuelan, he was like a handsome, romantic veteran; even Ji Yuelan couldn't help being fascinated by him. Facing the two Liu brothers, he was so frank and generous. Very few men could do that. Besides, he was full of bizarre charisma, he could easily win the favor of a woman...

"This man is very dangerous..." Jiang Ruoxin told Ji Yuelan secretly using his battle qi.

"Hmm, do you want to scramble for this young man with me? If you want, I don't mind sharing him with you..." Ji Yuelan answered with a joke.

"This man is not young or innocent. I feel he's different than any other men that you've met before. If you're really fascinated by him, you might be fooled by him in the end. Hopefully, you don't cry then..."

"Impossible!"

"Do you think you understand him?"

"At least better than you do..."

"If so, do you know his level?"

After being silent for a second, Ji Yuelan replied, "He should be a fierce immortal general. Some immortal generals could cover their cultivation base through secret methods. It's nothing strange at all..."

"But I think he's more than a fierce immortal general!"

"Whatever, it's better if he's an earth immortal general. It's fine as long as he's not a disguised demon. Don't you feel such a young man is charismatic? I would not say no even if he could fool me in the end..."

"You're playing with fire!"

"Heh heh, I'm gonna burn him using my fingers..."
