Chapter 1066: Towards Zhongzhou Province
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The airboat of Supreme Court was blue all over. It was about 200 m in length. Additionally, there were symbols of the Supreme Court on both sides of the airboat.
Two people got off the airboat, one of them was Gao Tianqi whom Zhang Tie had met before.
When Zhang Tie saw Gao Tianqi for the first time, he was staying with Feng Cangwu. Later on, Zhang Tie saw him in White Tiger Platform when Zhang Tie knew that this youth was a chief of bodyguards of Commander Cheng Honglie of Northeast Military Region. He was the trusted subordinate of Commander Cheng who had a bright future.
The other one who flew off the airboat together with Gao Tianqi was an earth knight given his qi. He was elder than Gao Tianqi. In an official uniform of the supreme court in Taixia Country and a standard Xiezhi crown, he had slim eyebrows and eyes and looked solemn.
Watching Gao Tianqi and an earth knight of supreme court flying towards him, Zhang Tie almost mistook that they were here to arrest him. However, after thinking about it for a short while, he forgot about this thought.
‘Are you kidding me? Besides my elder brother, nobody else knows my real identity. Additionally, even if the Supreme Court of Taixia Country was going to arrest me, they would never do that at this moment. As the bloody figure event has just broken out, the Supreme Court of Taixia Country doesn’t even have time to care about me at all. I think they are here to cancel my order for arrest.’
Many people on the ground identified Gao Tianqi. Although Gao Tianqi was just a black iron knight, he enjoyed a high position in Northeast Military Region as the chief of the bodyguards of Commander Cheng. Additionally, it seemed that Gao Tianqi was leading the way for that guy from the Supreme Court of Taixia Country.
Out of etiquette, almost everyone at present had stood up, including Zhang Tie.
“Is Huaiyuan Palace’s elder here?”
Gao Tianqi’s voice arrived ahead of his body.
‘They didn’t come here for me on this occasion?’
Zhang Tie and everybody else at present became curious as they wanted to see what the two people were going to do.
Elder Muyu became a bit stunned; however, he made a response immediately.
Elder Muyu cupped his hand as he looked up and said, “I’m Elder Muyu from Huaiyuan Palace!”
Gao Tianqi and the earth knight then landed on the ground.
“Ahh, Elder Muyu, long time no see!” Gao Tianqi hailed Elder Muyu with a smile before nodding towards all the others at present. Closely after that, he watched Zhang Tie’s bald head for a second before cupping his hands towards Zhang Tie respectfully, “This one must be Fire Dragon Hermit!”
“Yes, it’s me!” Zhang Tie touched his bald head.
“Fire Dragon Hermit, please forgive me. This one is Lord Cao from the Supreme Court of Taixia Country. Previously, Lord Cao wanted to release a news to Huaiyuan Palace in Youzhou City; I know that there must be an elder of Huaiyuan Palace here; plus so many friends from different provinces, it might be better for Lord Cao to declare the news here. Additionally, we were near here; therefore, I brought Lord Cao here!”
“Hahahah…go ahead, go ahead!” Zhang Tie burst out into laughter generously, “Now that you two could come, you’ve already brought me glory, just let me know if you need any help!”
“We don’t need your help, but Lord Cao wants to say something to Elder Muyu of Huaiyuan Palace in the public!”
“Please!”
When Zhang Tie talked with Gao Tianqi, Lord Cao from Supreme Court of Taixia Country had already looked over Zhang Tie carefully before catching sight of the 18 secret pearls in the distance. Lord Cao blinked his eyes as he felt that he was dazzled. After confirming that they were secret pearls, Lord Cao became amazed. Zhang Tie knew that Lord Cao had already identified the background of these secret pearls.
“Go ahead, Lord Cao!” Elder Muyu cupped his hands towards Lord Cao from the Supreme Court in neither kind nor cold attitude. Since Zhang Tie was framed and escaped away, the relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Supreme Court had been neither close nor cold like how Elder Muyu behaved now.
Lord Cao looked around before saying loudly on purpose so that everyone at present could hear it, “I’m here to notice the Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace on behalf of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country that Elder Zhang Mushen, namely Zhang Tie’s order for arrest has been officially canceled. From today on, Zhang Tie will gain his freedom and not be wanted anymore across Taixia Country. The Supreme Court of Taixia Country will investigate the tragedy in Fuhai City that happened 4 years ago from the scratch!” As Lord Cao declared, a document appeared in his hand. He then passed it to Elder Muyu.
In the distance, Zhang Tie could only see a red seal of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country on the document.
After taking that document and skimming over it, Elder Muyu’s hands quivered. After hearing Lord Cao’s declaration, Zhang Yang directly pushed into one side of Elder Mushen and read it too.
As Lord Cao didn’t know Zhang Yang, when he saw Zhang Yang approaching him, he even slightly frowned. However, Gao Tianqi knew Zhang Yang.
“This is Zhang Yang, Zhang Tie’s elder brother, the boss of Jinwu Business Group!” Gao Tianqi told Lord Cao in a secret way. After hearing Gao Tianqi’s explanation, Lord Cao relieved his frown. He knew that if not that Zhang family in Jinwu City received the news ahead of them, when the bloody sea became mature, the result would definitely be much worse than now.
Although the Zhongzhou Provincial Court suffered a great loss, the judicial agencies of Taixia Country had definitely made a great meritorious service this time.
Everybody at present could guess that the file that Lord Cao gave Elder Muyu was the official document about canceling off the order of arrest for Zhang Tie.
To declare this news on this occasion was definitely more effective than declaring it to Huaiyuan Palace in Youzhou Province alone.
“Lord Cao, is my brother Zhang Tie free now?”
“He’s free. Being entrusted by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, I’m especially here to notice Huaiyuan Palace about this news. The chief justice of the Supreme Court felt pretty pitiful about what Zhang Tie has experienced these years. This time, the Supreme Court is going to restart the investigation of the tragedy in Fuhai City. The chief justice said if Zhang Tie likes, he could continue to serve as an official in a judicial agency when he comes back. He could even participate in the investigation of the tragedy in Fuhai City himself!”
When Zhang Tie served as the chief justice of Youzhou Province, he had inflicted a great loss to the Heavens Reaching Church and spread his reputation “Lion of Youzhou Province” over the entire judicial system in Taixia Country. Nobody could imagine that the Supreme Court of Taixia Country could cancel off Zhang Tie’s order for arrest and would even entrust him with an important post once again.
In a split second, a well-known human criminal became innocent and might be entrusted as an awe-struck important post in the judicial system of Taixia Country, ‘Is this the plot of the chief justice of the Supreme Court or a compensation or both of them?’
Those at present were considering the attitude of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country carefully. Zhang Tie felt complex inside.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that his stigma and crime could be cleared only after returning to Jinwu City and identifying the plot of Heavens Reaching Church, ‘I could finally be free in the public in my original look.’
‘Four years ago, I unconsciously became a widely wanted criminal across Taixia Country.’
‘Four years later, the stigma and suspicion of being a wanted criminal were cleared unconsciously.’
‘That’s my destiny.’
After experiencing all this, Zhang Tie felt that his destiny was played by an invisible hand like how a clown performed acrobatics of throwing bottles. His life contrail rolled many circles in the sky in a very risky way before coming back to its original point. It seemed that nothing had changed at all.
‘But really?’
Watching these knights from major clans who came here to celebrate the opening ceremony of Fire Dragon Hermit and Bai Suxian who was watching him with her big watery eyes, Zhang Tie could only swear many times inside, ‘f*ck!’
At this time, Zhang Tie became reassured and depressed. With this complex mood, Zhang Tie could neither laugh nor cry.
No matter what, both Elder Muyu and Zhang Yang were satisfied with this result. After hearing this news, no matter what they thought inside, they also started to congratulate Elder Muyu and Zhang Yang apparently.
Zhang Yang threw a glance at Zhang Tie stealthily and found that Zhang Tie was watching him. They soon moved their eyes away. However, due to the privity between the two brothers, they had exchanged much information silently.
Zhang Yang, “Are you going back?”
Zhang Tie, “Do you think I can come back now?”
Zhang Yang, “What to do then?”
Zhang Tie, “I will finish the affairs of Iron-Dragon Sect first. If I go back now, it might not be good.”
“Fire Dragon Hermit, are those balls secret pearls?” Gao Tianqi asked Zhang Tie with an uncertain tone which drew Zhang Tie back to the helpless yet hilarious reality.
“Hahaha, yup. I’ve got some delicacies from Earth-elements Realm. I use them to entertain the guests today!”
‘Entertain?’ Even though Gao Tianqi had seen a lot of rarities on the side of Commander Cheng, it was his first time to hear someone using so many secret pearls to “entertain the guests”…
“May I have your attention, please? Good things should be in pairs. Besides my opening ceremony, an elder of Huaiyuan Palace also became innocent. As we’re happy now, let’s try our luck. If you have a good luck, you might get a silver secret item. I’m afraid that many people can’t wait for that…”
Zhang Tie said as he applauded twice. Closely after that, Wang disciples carried out a special tool for hitting golden eggs…
After that, Zhang Tie made a brief introduction about the game rule to enliven the atmosphere in the opening ceremony…
Of course, the game rule was pretty fair for the other knights. As Zhang Tie was a supreme dominator and had lotus-flower eyes, he especially prepared the secret pearl which contained a silver secret item for Huaiyuan Palace. Nobody else could take it away. Therefore, it was just an entertainment for the others.
…
Watching the Zhu Elder entering the stage in high spirits to get numbers from a fully enclosed metal cylinder, Zhang Tie waved his hand and fetched Liu Xing.
“Notice the outside. Iron-Dragon Sect will enroll 3,000 exterior door disciples. You’re responsible for accomplishing it in 3 days.”
“3 days?”
“Yes, because I will take you to Zhongzhou Province to have a practice 3 days later…”
…
The day when the Iron-Dragon Sect opened made many people unforgettable…
Compared to the first day in Xuantian Courtyard, the following 3 days were more boisterous across Xuantian City.
As for many ambitious young men, if they could become exterior door disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect, they would also have a chance to become the internal door disciples even elite disciples and disciples being directly taught by Fire Dragon Hermit if they were excellent enough. It depended on their destinies…
Zhang Tie kept dealing with many affairs and meeting many people in Xuantian City for consecutive 3 days without a sleep. After confirming the local representatives of the 10 cities in Fire Dragon Bounty Territory, Fire Dragon Bounty Territory was almost on the right track. After that, Zhang Tie took the 121 inside door disciples to Zhongzhou Province by airboat…
At this moment, Zhongzhou Province, one of the nine immortal provinces in Taixia Country was the most boisterous place in Taixia Country as many airships, airboats and bounty criminal hunters were gathering there…
