<h4>Chapter 1186: Politely Declining</h4>
<strong>Trantor:</strong> WQL <strong>Editor:</strong> Aleem
If he told others about all the secrets, he was an idiot!
If he cheated them in a perfunctory way, he was treating others as idiots!
Zhang Tie was not an idiot; neither were the other elders of Huaiyuan Pce and the n head.
Facing these elders and the n head of Huaiyuan Pce, Zhang Tie knew that he could barely exin it only by lip service. Therefore, he directly disyed his talents in front of the others.
People needed to change ording to the situation. On the premise of not exposing the secret that he was cultivating an emperor-level secret method <i>King Roc Sutra</i> , Zhang Tie told the others that he had grasped a top secret method called <i>Chaotic Treasure Body;</i> he even aplished the shift between <i>Fire Dragon Sutra</i> and <i>Five Elements Ground-look Sutra</i> in 30 minutes in front of the others, causing them to be speechless once again.
Actually, it would take Zhang Tie less than 1 minute to aplish the shift between two familiar secret methods. However, Zhang Tie didn’t feel that it was appropriate to shift between two secret methods too fast in front of the other elders of Huaiyuan Pce; therefore, he performed it in a seemingly difficult way on purpose.
After witnessing how Zhang Tie changed his looks, absorbed a water-element crystal at a high speed and shifted his battle qis casually, all the other elders of Huaiyuan Pce became dumbfounded.
It took Zhang Tie about 2 hours to disy all of his talents. It might be longer in normal times; however, it was as fast as blinking their eyes for the other elders and n head of Huaiyuan Pce in the conference room at present. Zhang Tie had performed all of his talents before the others recovered theirposure.
“Elder Mushen, you mean <i>Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra</i> originates from the <i>Mental Arithmetic by Abacus</i> ?” Elder Muan who had been silent since the beginning couldn’t stand to ask Zhang Tie.
“Yes!”
“Does it mean that the other elders and I might also reach your realm if we cultivate <i>Mental Arithmetic by Abacus</i> from now on?”
Elder Muan’s question attracted all the other elders’ attention.
“Theoretically, yes. If you could reach the level of carrying out 10 tasks at the same time by Mental Arithmetic by Abacus, you could indeed absorb elements crystals 10 times faster. However...”
“Go ahead!”
“Besides <i>Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra</i> , my current achievement is also rted to the experience that I was struck by a lightning bolt...” Zhang Tie used the same almighty trick, which would never be exposed at all; neither did need he to exin about it, “After being struck by the lightning bolt, my spiritual energy increased very fast. I couldn’t reach such a realm without the help of the great spiritual energy and the <i>Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra</i> . I’m afraid that it’s a bit difficult if you just depended on <i>Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra</i> without the great spiritual energy!”
“Cui Li was born in Youzhou Province. We’ve heard that Cui Li had returned home to meet his old servants before heading for Earth-elements Realm; the local officials even built a knight’s imposing memorial archway for Cui Li. As you’ve not been to Taixia Country before, how were you so familiar with Cui Li’s bygones?” Elder Muan asked.
“The real Cui Li was actually one incarnation of Zhu Liang the poisonous wolf on the wanted list of Supreme Court. Before returning to Youzhou Province, I met Zhu Liang in an unpopted isle in the open waters of Qiongzhou Province. He wanted to kill me; however, he was killed by me. Before his death, I read his memory by a secret method and knew that he had an incarnation of Cui Li in Yongzhou Province!”
“Memory reading method, this...this seems to be a secret method of Bloody Soul Temple of Taixia Country!”
“Right, it’s indeed a secret method of Bloody Soul Temple. When I was in Selnes Theater of Operations, I gained a secret method called <i>Soul Forbidden Method</i> , I learned this memory reading method from it!” Zhang Tie exined as he directly took out the book of Soul Forbidden Method and disyed it to all the others. “I will donate this book to our n. If elders are interested in it, you could learn it. Sometimes, it might help you a lot. I was told that some sects in Taixia Country also grasped some secret methods of Bloody Soul Temple. It’s normal for Huaiyuan Pce to grasp one too!”
As Zhang Tie had already got theplete version of Bloody Soul Sutra, it was nothing pitiful for him to gift <i>Soul Forbidden Method</i> to Huaiyuan Pce. No matter what, they were of the same family.
Those in the conference room had just been shocked too much by Zhang Tie’s secret immortal bloodline and secret methods. Therefore, they did not feel strange that Zhang Tie had grasped <i>Soul Forbidden Method</i> .
Elder Muan suddenly let out a long sigh as he watched Zhang Tie, “At the beginning, Elder Muyu and I were well known as Double Jades of Huaiyuan Pce. I’m afraid that we don’t need to talk about itter on!”
Elder Muyu shook his head as he revealed a bitter smile. Closely after that, he nodded.
Elder Muray suddenly patted his thigh forcefully, causing a loud, crisp sound in the conference room, scaring all the other elders so much.
“Elder Muray, what do you want to say?”
“Hahaha...” Elder Muray burst out intoughter, “Body-changing immortal bloodline, Soul Forbidden Method, Chaotic Treasure Body. Do you realize what do they mean? With these immortal bloodlines and secret methods, Elder Mushen could almost change whoever he wants below knight level. It’s even more terrifying than shadow demon. If this news is exposed to the public, I will see who else dare screw Huaiyuan Pce. Even if Huaiyuan Pce was exterminated, as long as Elder Mushen was still alive, our Huaiyuan Pce’s bloodline would definitelyst and reinvigorate once again. As long as those people who want to screw Huaiyuan Pce think about that Elder Mushen might lurk on their side to kill them at any time in the incarnation of their familiar ones, they would not sleep well!”
“However, after Elder Mushen exposes your real identity to the public, your secrets such as body-changing immortal bloodline, Chaotic Treasure Body Secret method and Soul Forbidden Method would be barely covered...” Being different than Elder Muray who was very excited, Elder Muyuan who came from the same branch of Goldensea City with Zhang Tie looked sad as he continued, “If so, the mortal enemy of Huaiyuan Pce would definitely treat Elder Mushen as the eyesore. If I were the enemy of Huaiyuan Pce, I would kill Elder Mushen first if I wanted to exterminate Huaiyuan Pce!”
After Elder Muyuan mentioned it, the entire conference room became quiet once again. The other elders could easily understand it. If they were the enemy of Huaiyuan Pce, they had to kill Zhang Tie first; otherwise, they would beat the grass and frighten away the snake.
As Zhang Tie came back to Huaiyuan Pce in the public, it was equal for him to stand in the front of Huaiyuan Pce as the shield.
Of course, Elder Mushen had realized it. However, he still came back to be the target of the enemy of Huaiyuan Pce, what a responsible hero!
Zhang Tie told the world at the risk of his life——Huaiyuan Pce would survive on as long as Elder Mushen was alive!
Watching Zhang Tie’s calm and extremely young face, Zhang Taixuan sighed as he stood up from his chair and bowed deeply towards Zhang Tie, followed by all the other elders.
Zhang Tie stood up and bowed towards them at the same time as he said, “Don’t be that polite. We have the same ancestors and bloodlines, we’re of the same family. We’re closely rted to each other. I will just be myself frankly!”
Zhang Taixuan’s face turned extremely solemn at this moment. As he was standing, everybody else just stood up. Zhang Taixuan nced around before throwing a deep nce at Zhang Tie and saying, “Huaiyuan Pce is founded by Lord Huaiyuan. When Lord Huaiyuan was alive, he left 8 branches of descendants along with the ancestral doctrine. The position of the n head of Huaiyuan Pce and Count Long Wind should be inherited by the most excellent one; instead of being upied by the eldest son of the eldest wife of the branch in Yiyang City. The return of Elder Mushen counts most in Huaiyuan Pce. Elder Mushen is not only young and talented but also willing to fulfill his responsibilities. His secret methods, battle skills and reputation are far greater than me. As all the elders of Huaiyuan Pce are at present, I propose to reelect the n head for Huaiyuan Pce ording to the regtions of Huaiyuan Pce. I vote Elder Mushen, what do you say?”
Zhang Taixuan’s words shocked all the other elders, including Zhang Tie.
Watching Zhang Taixuan’s generous and righteous face, Zhang Tie wondered whether Zhang Taixuan was probing or sincerely wanted to abdicate his n head position to him out of other considerations. All in all, Zhang Taixuan’s words were indeed unimaginable.
All the other 5 elders exchanged a nce with each other with a confused look.
No matter what Zhang Taixuan was thinking about, Zhang Tie would never promise it. The simplest reason was, if Lan Yunxi’s dad abdicated the position of n head to him, the marriage between Lan Yunxi and him would be impossible. Zhang Tie would never take the position of n head at the cost of losing a perfect wife...
Honestly, was the position of Huaiyuan Pce’s n head more powerful than the throne of Tsar in Ice and Snow Wilderness?
Additionally, the position of Huaiyuan Pce’s n head was just a count. He had already abandoned the reward of the dukedom, not to mention the hereditary position of Count Long Wind.
Zhang Tie let out a long sigh, “I’ve already been satisfied to be an elder of Huaiyuan Pce at such a young age. n head, please don’t say such words in the future; otherwise, I would have to leave Huaiyuan Pce!”
Zhang Tie expressed his “firm stance” immediately...
