Castle of Black Iron 1686 The Marvelous Invisible Bead

On the second day, it was raining. The fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace entered a large rainy and cloudy area in Brokenstars Ocean. The entire air zone was facing heavy wind and rain. Even the sun was sheltered by clouds. The visible distance in the sky was only a few thousands of meters. On this occasion, the fleet moved more meticulously at the speed of only about 130 miles per hour. 

Despite such a cloudy and rainy day, Zhang Tie felt pretty joyful as he almost hummed a song.

After killing the red and blue devils, Zhang Tie had been a.s.similating their wind chakras in flight. Only after a few hours, Zhang Tie had already lit 3 scales, reaching 119 scales of his wind chakra. With 25 more scales, he would be able to promote to the four change realm of shadow knight and be intensified by 10% in all aspects again. 

Zhang Tie had taken the complete wind chakras of the red and blue devils last night. According to Zhang Tie's estimation, after a.s.similating all the wind elements, he would easily promote to five change realm of a shadow knight.

What was more, Zhang Tie got far more than this from the red and blue devils. Zhang Tie didn't know what was inside those s.p.a.ce-teleportation finger rings until two days later, namely April 1, the 3584th year of Calendar of Emperor NvWa. However, the invisible shen bead was definitely a rarity. If not Zhang Tie's spiritual energy had been completely real, even his lotus-flower eyes could barely discover the trace of the blue devil. It could be imagined how important this invisible shen bead was. What invisible shen bead to Zhang Tie was equivalent to what wings were to a tiger. 

Given the evil deeds of the red and blue devils, there must be one fruit of brilliance and one fruit of bloodline on the small tree.

With such a great achievement overnight, Zhang Tie felt pretty good.

If a person felt good, even the heavy rain would be taken as a drizzle, a gift from G.o.d. That felt pretty special!

When his duty was on due, before Zhang Tie called the next team for a s.h.i.+ft, Liu Yong, Liu Meng, Ji Yuelan, Jiang Ruoxin, Leng Manxue, Zhou Baifei, Lu Tianqiang and Xun Zizhou had already put on the flight suits and flew off the airboats one after another.

When he saw them fly out, Zhang Tie flew downward and greeted them. 

They all released a thin protective battle qi which was closely attached to their outfit so that raindrops couldn't penetrate through their outfits. The moment the fine raindrops fell onto the outfits, they had slid off. It felt like putting some oil on their outfits. Of course, it was widely accepted by ordinary fierce immortal generals and earth immortal generals. Because the long-term release of protective battle qi meant a large consumption, they had to conserve it. However, as for Zhang Tie who didn't have the concept of exhaustion of battle qi, he directly released 1 m thick battle qi. As a result, fine raindrops couldn't even approach him. 

Watching Zhang Tie fly towards them, all of them threw an admirable glance at Zhang Tie except for Zhou Baifei and Leng Manxue——This is the difference between nouveau rich and common working cla.s.s. 

"Deputy head, didn't you feel anything abnormal last night?" Leng Manxue asked Zhang Tie.

"Everything is fine. But as it's low visibility in the air today, you'd better not stay too far away from the airboats and not leave each other's sight..." Zhang Tie told them as Leng Manxue nodded.

"Thanks, deputy head..."

"Hahaha, it's my pleasure..." Zhang Tie replied with a smile.

"Hmm, what happened to your flight suit? I remember you wore the whole set of flight suit last night..." Ji Yuelan asked Zhang Tie with a confused look.

Women usually paid special attention to details like outfits. After being warned by Ji Yuelan, the others also noticed that Zhang Tie only wore a pair of wings. If Ji Yuelan didn't mention it, the others might have thought that Zhang Tie just came out in this way last night.

"When I was patrolling outside last night, I found that this set of flight suit didn't fit me. After wearing it for a while, it didn't feel comfortable; besides, it even weakened my flexibility. Therefore, I just returned to the airboat and took off the other parts except for the pair of wings..." Zhang Tie told Ji Yuelan as he blinked his eyes towards her. 

Of course, it was a lie. In fact, in the process of killing the blue devil, Zhang Tie's outfit was ruined partly; especially his abdomen armor and arms armor which had been completely destroyed. In case of not being asked about the reason, Zhang Tie directly dropped the other parts of the flying outfit.

"Humph, deputy head is really prodigal. The flight suit is purchased at a high price in our immortal palace. How could you just drop it? According to one of the 36 regulations in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, n.o.body is allowed to destroy the items in the immortal palace. Of course, your battle armor is the property of the immortal palace. Deputy head, you dropped it on purpose when there's no enemy, how would you be our role model..." Zhou Baifei finally caught a chance to give Zhang Tie a bite. 

"It's really not easy for you!" Zhang Tie said as he watched Zhou Baifei with a smile, "General Priest Zhou, you must be bearing it too pitifully these days. You must be thinking about putting me on the spot every day. And you finally got a chance today..."

Zhou Baifei changed his face at once as he pretended to stay calm, "Deputy head, why do you say so? I gave you the reason!"

"General Priest Zhou, you're right. I indeed should not drop the property of immortal palace. As a deputy head, of course, I should follow the rules so as to be a role model for you. How about deducting my one month's compensation..."

"The most precious part of the flight suit is this pair of wings. The others are not that precious. As the battle armor was not designed for deputy head, it might not fit him. Now that deputy head found it didn't fit him in the execution of the task, it's acceptable for him to drop it. When we come to Dragon Emperor Big Domain, I would apply for a customized, senior flying outfit for deputy head!" Leng Manxue said calmly as she took a look at Zhang Tie and Zhou Baifei.

"Haha, thank you so much, General Deacon Leng. But I deserve the punishment. Everyone should follow the 36 rules of the immortal palace. If one destroys a property of the immortal palace, he should pay 10 times greater than it in value. As an immortal general, I'm absolutely not an exception. That's the deal!" Zhang Tie wove his hand before taking a look at Zhou Baifei, asking him with a smile, "General Priest Zhou, how do you feel about my solution?"

"Now that deputy head could follow the rules and become our good model, of course, we have nothing to say!" Zhou Baifei said with a gla.s.sy-eyed look.

10 wind crystals were almost as valuable as over 100 sets of flying outfits in Motian Realm. It was even 100 even 1,000 times greater in value. Of course, Zhou Baifei couldn't say anything else about it anymore.

"You'd better bear it in mind. Ask about your consciousness before doing something. Don't do it because it's a trivial evil thing; don't skip it because it's a trivial kind thing. Laws are usually merciless. The 36 rules of the immortal palace is not a joke!" Zhang Tie told the others a lesson with a smile as he threw a stealthy glance at Zhou Baifei. Waving his hand towards the others in a handsome way, Zhang Tie said, "Well, I'm going back. It's your job now..."

When the others were still considering Zhang Tie's proverb "Don't do it because it's a trivial evil thing; don't skip it because it's a trivial kind thing", Zhang Tie had already returned to his airboat. After being transfixed for a few seconds, Xun Zizhou instantly became thrilled as he took out his portable notebook and scribbled down Zhang Tie's words on it.

As for Zhou Baifei, after being glanced by Zhang Tie, his heart suddenly raced out of fear unconsciously.

'Did he know something? Impossible! Impossible. How could he know what I've done...'

Zhou Baifei encouraged himself inside, 'Zhang Tie is just bluffing me.'

However, soon after Zhang Tie returned to his airboat, he had received Ji Yuelan's apology from the formation bead inside his mind sea, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know it would make you so embarra.s.sed today..."

"It's fine. It's just 10 wind element crystals!"

"Really?"

"Hehheh, if Inspector Ji feels sorry about that and would like to compensate me in another way. I won't refuse it. Oh, Inspector Ji, don't you feel your breast armor is too tight?"

"You're so coquettish..."

After flirting with Ji Yuelan for a few seconds, Zhang Tie hummed a song and returned to his room.

After killing red and blue devils, Zhang Tie knew that Star Emperor Immortal Palace would have no other means to deal with their fleet anymore. That was to say, their fleet of airboats would not encounter any danger on the way anymore. After all, the heavenly knight was not as cheap as white cabbage; especially those who would like to do such a dirty job. Perhaps when Star Emperor Immortal Palace confirmed the death of red and blue devils, the fleet of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had already arrived at Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

After returning to his room, Zhang Tie closed his door and took a seat for a short while quietly to recover his composure. After that, he couldn't wait to take out that invisible shen bead which he was pretty curious about...

Shen was one of the nine sons of the dragon king, who excelled at being invisible. Given its name, Zhang Tie could guess its function.

Invisible shen bead was fixed onto a mithril necklace. The upper half of the bead was cupped by two delicate mithril feathers. On the two feathers, there was a special symbol of the divine dominator. If it were a few weeks ago, Zhang Tie definitely didn't know the meaning of the symbol. However, after learning so much these days, Zhang Tie could identify that the symbol belonged to a big force in Motian Realm——Lightfeather Immortal Palace.

This invisible shen bead didn't belong to red and blue devils at the beginning; given their talk in the mountain cave, it should belong to Lightfeather Immortal Palace; however, n.o.body knew why it was in the hand of red and blue devils.

Of course, this rarity belonged to Zhang Tie now. Zhang Tie was not as innocent as preliminary students who would hand everything they picked to the policemen. As he robbed this rarity from red and blue devils through a fight, which was pretty useful to him, of course, Zhang Tie would not return it to Lightfeather Immortal Palace which had nothing to do with him. 

The invisible shen bead contained an extremely blurry mist which was constantly changing its color. After playing with it for a while, Zhang Tie didn't see any rune or trigger device outside this bead. According to his experience, it meant that this bead probably was driven by spiritual energy or battle qi. 

When Zhang Tie thought about it, he injected his spiritual energy into it to see whether there was any effect. 

However, Zhang Tie had not imagined that the blurry mist suddenly poured into his mind sea along the route the spiritual energy entered it as fast as a lightning bolt the moment he injected his spiritual energy into it.

In the blink of an eye, the invisible shen bead lost its l.u.s.ter. Like a broken eggsh.e.l.l, it became powder at once, leaving an empty pendant in Zhang Tie's hand. 

Zhang Tie was startled so much that he flurriedly checked his mind sea.

At this moment, there was one misty bizarre bead on the marvelous arch door above his mind sea. Zhang Tie touched the bead using his spiritual energy, causing it to rock slightly; meanwhile, Zhang Tie felt being spread over by bizarre energy.

At the same time, Zhang Tie couldn't see any image in the mirror anymore as his body had completely disappeared. Just now he was evidently standing in front of the mirror; however, it was empty in front of it now. Zhang Tie became as transparent as the blue devil; even more than it. Unless using spiritual energy, Zhang Tie couldn't see anything of his body even using his lotus-flower eyes...

'F*ck, what happened?'

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhang Tie contracted his spiritual energy, showing himself up in his room once again. In the mirror, he saw his amazed look.

'If this bead is used in this way, how could I get it from the blue devil?'

'Is it real usage? It should be stored in one's mind sea instead of being hung out. Only real spiritual energy could completely activate and a.s.similate the energy of this bead...'

After trying it many times, Zhang Tie finally confirmed that he had got one more powerful ability——being completely invisible in front of others. 'As for the invisible shen bead, I might not be able to return it to Lightfeather Immortal Palace even if I want!'
