Castle of Black Iron Chapter 1535

Chapter 1536 - Zhang Tie’s Doubt

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Bai Suxian instantly revealed a shocked look as she looked around and said, “You mean…”

“Enclosed space, metal ground and walls, nothing could be easily destroyed; and the sculptures are similar to war puppets. If this place was closed, have you imagined about the outcome?”

“You think these sculptures are war puppets?” Bai Suxian asked out of exclamation as she pointed at an over 100 m long-winged snake with a bit terrifying look. At the same time, she fired a battle qi towards the head of the snake.

Besides a muffled sound, she only left a shallow fingerprint on the head of the snake.

All the other statues on the walls remained still with eyes closed.

Zhang Tie observed the vivid, long metal snake once again by his lotus-flower eyes as he found that this long snake integrated with everything in this space. It was completely like these war puppets that he saw in the bloody sacrifice hieron. When those war puppets remained still, Zhang Tie couldn’t find that they were anything different than normal sculptures; however, when they moved, their battle strength could even match that of black iron knights. Additionally, they could be barely exterminated, which was the most terrifying aspect of war puppets.

Although this Dongtian had a large space, Zhang Tie noticed that many of those fierce beasts on the five walls had wings like this boa. This might be a coincidence; however, it might also be a purposeful setting.

“Civilisations in far-ancient times look like myths now! We could barely figure out such myths!” Zhang Tie heaved a sigh, “We don’t know about the secret of the tower of time; we don’t know about the secret of war puppets; we don’t know about the secrets of space-teleportation equipment and silver secret items. However, this place is absolutely a sacred land for Great Wilderness Sect. In these places, it’s very normal to have war puppets as guards. In addition, Great Wilderness Sect was always immersed in driving various animals and special beasts. If we’re indeed in a sacred land of Great Wilderness Sect, do you feel strange that those sculptures on the walls would turn into war puppets on some occasions?”

“However, all the sculptures look good. Additionally, after so many human knights have arrived, they remained still. If they were like war puppets in the bloody sacrifice heiron, they should have long been activated when strangers entered for driving us away!” Bai Suxian retorted seriously after thinking about it for a few seconds, “Additionally, according to my knowledge, war puppets would be activated the moment outsiders intrude in the space that they were defending. Most of the places with war puppets meet this condition besides bloody sacrifice hieron!”

“As I say, there are still too many things about these far-ancient civilizations that we don’t know. The manufacturing skills and control mode of war puppets are still unknown to us all. What if these war puppets could be under the control?”

“Impossible. I’ve never heard that anyone could manipulate these war puppets. Additionally, Great Wilderness Sect has already perished for so many years. Even if these war puppets could be under control, who would make it? Aren’t we safe here?” Bai Suxian said as she pointed at the entrance on the dome, “Even if it’s unsafe here, we could leave here at least.”

Kneading his face, Zhang Tie revealed a smile and said, “I always feel something is not right about that tunnel. Perhaps, I’m thinking too much. But do you know what did I feel when I passed through that tunnel?”

“How did you feel?”

“I felt like passing through a living object’s belly!”

“A living object? Impossible! They’re just metal!”

If it was Zhang Tie who said so, Bai Suxian might have touched his forehead to see whether he had got a fever.

Zhang Tie didn’t know how to answer Bai Suxian. In fact, the weird feeling rightly came from the resonance between the Great Wilderness Sutra that he was cultivating and this place.

“I always feel it’s a bit too coincidental. We should take care of ourselves. We don’t feel any danger here at this moment, because we could leave here every once a while. Have you imagined about the outcome when those war puppets are triggered and so many knights couldn’t leave here?” Zhang Tie squinted his eyes as a sagacious light flashed across his eyes.

“You mean we’ve walked into a trap?” Bai Suxian asked as she looked around.

“I didn’t mean it. I just feel that it’s not as safe as it appears. Additionally, some aspects couldn’t be seen through. As a large number of knights gather in a small place, once they lose their way of retreat, they would face a very serious outcome…”

Her face turning solemn, Bai Suxian said, “Do we need to tell my third uncle? If it’s as dangerous as you say, we knights of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion could leave first…”

After considering it for a few seconds, Zhang Tie shook his head as he replied, “No need. I couldn’t prove it. Additionally, it’s just a feeling. Perhaps, I’m just thinking too much. We should take care of ourselves…”

Bai Suxian nodded. Closely after that, they flew back to the base of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion in this space and entered a tent. Like the other knights, they just waited for the full-moons gates to open.

In fact, there were many words that Zhang Tie didn’t tell Bai Suxian. Humans died in pursuit of wealth while birds died in pursuit of food. As for knights, the lure of secret items and the tower of time were almost irresistible. The moment he came to this Dongtian, Zhang Tie had recalled the scene where Stars and Moons Sword Sage Samaranqi was trapped and killed in Ice and Snow Wilderness.

It was too coincidental for the four sage freaks to discover this place. According to the popular gossip, the group of four occasionally discovered a map and some clues left by Great Wilderness Sect which led them here. Although this reason sounded reasonable, Zhang Tie always felt something was wrong when he connected the discovery of this Dongtian with the following series of events…

After taking a round here, Zhang Tie found that everything in this Dongtian was as same as that of All-spirits Tower that was manifested by Great Wilderness Sutra that he was cultivating in his mind sea. When he arrived here, the All-spirits Tower in his mind sea even resonated with this place. However, strangely, when he entered this place, the response of his All-spirits Tower appeared having been restricted and isolated by something, making it a bit constrained…

This feeling from his All-spirits Tower was like returning to his home after a long journey outside while the owner of the home had been changed.
