Although Zhang Tie knew that Star Emperor Pavilion had dispatched its representatives here and felt thrilled, he didn’t return to Dragon Emperor Pavilion at once; instead, he loitered outside leisurely for quite a while. Apanied by Leng Manxue, Zhang Tie traveled across the Forbidden City and posed some genuine suggestions before returning to Dragon Emperor Pavilion slowly.
When he came back, it was already dusk.
The moment Zhang Tie and his bodyguards arrived there, Hong Yukun hade to his side.
“Where are they?” Zhang Tie asked straightforwardly.
Of course, Hong Yukun knew whom Zhang Tie was referring to as he answered, “I’ve already arranged them to wait for Your Majesty in Yunshui Pce. Your Majesty, do you want to see them now?”
“Hmm, I will meet them now!” Zhang Tie replied. At the sight of Zhang Tie’s gesture, some bodyguards immediately moved forward and helped him take off the metal wings. After that, Zhang Tie headed for Yunshui Pce.
“That envoy from Star Emperor Immortal Pce is a wind immortal general. Do we need...” Hong Hukun hurriedly caught up with Zhang Tie as he asked.
“Never mind. It’s just a wind immortal general...” Zhang Tie replied with a casual smile...
Of course, a heavenly knight was not a big deal for Zhang Tie; not to mention that he was apanied by a general manager of Emperor NvWa Pce, which was the best guarantee for safety.
...
In Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Heavenly Safe Building provided the assembly hall for Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce. Those who essed to Heavenly Safe Building were all immortal generals in Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce. Additionally, if the foreign guests were important, they would be arranged in Yunshui Pce which meant a very solemn and official meeting.
Being in the west of Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Yunshui Pce was a small artificialke nearby Dragon Emperor Pavilion. Being girdled by a verdant purple bamboo wood, it was a tranquil ce. Because of the arrival of important foreign guests, some immortal generals were guarding outside Yunshui Pce. At the sight of Zhang Tie, they hurriedly gave a salute to Zhang Tie.
“Your Majesty!”
Zhang Tie nodded as he strode into the gate of Yunshui Pce.
After hearing the footsteps and the greetings of the bodyguards outside the gate, the two people inside Yunshui Pce had long stood up. When Zhang Tie walked in, he started to observe them.
Given their costumes, Zhang Tie could easily identify them.
The general manager of Emperor NvWa Pce in Dragon Emperor City was in the uniform of immortal generals of Emperor NvWa Pce, which was featured by yellow in the upper half and green in the lower half. The colors of the uniform were separated by the waistband. Additionally, there were many purple auspicious clouds in the shape of scales on it, which was said to be used tomemorate Emperor NvWa.
In Motian Realm, Emperor NvWa Pce didn’t upy arge area. Actually, it only had one city; however, Emperor NvWa Pce’s power was unpredictable, which was thought to be greater than all the other immortal human pces. The other immortal pces might perish or be prosperous; however, Emperor NvWa Pce remained unchanged since its founding. Given the beginning years of Motian Realm, people would know the profound background and history of Emperor NvWa Pce. Because of the magnificence and greatness of Emperor NvWa Pce’s position, people in the uniform of immortal general of Emperor NvWa Pce were all something. They would win respect from any force and anybody as long as they’re in the territory of humans.
The general manager of Emperor NvWa Pce in Dragon Emperor City was fatty with three beautiful strokes of beard. Although he looked kind, his eye light was shrewd. Like Zhang Tie, he was also a water immortal general. In the past half a year, although this fatty was in Dragon Emperor City, he didn’t pay a visit to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie had long heard about him and it was also his first time to meet this guy today.
The envoy from Star Emperor Immortal Pce was more easily identified. Zhang Tie had seen many uniforms like that of his in Heavenly Square City. The difference between this guy and those in Heavenly Square Cityy in his higher rank. Given his look, this envoy was genial and elegant, which felt like bathing the spring wind.
Only after taking a look at this envoy from Star Emperor Immortal Pce, Zhang Tie had known that Star Emperor Immortal Pce was here for a cease-fire.
Zhang Tie and the two guests looked at each other at the same time.
To be honest, although the two guests were told that the new Dragon Emperor was young, they were still shocked by Zhang Tie’s look as it was as young as that of a 17 years old boy.
Before Zhang Tie took the throne of Dragon Emperor, Ji Yun and Jiang Ruoxin always thought that Zhang Tie had a form or secret method for skin care. After Zhang Tie became the Dragon Emperor, his young look appeared being the best exnation for him to be the disciple of the former Dragon Emperor. As Zhang Tie couldn’t always show off his trump cards such as Dragon Emperor’s Immortal Fist Skill,moners would regard his young look as the first standard for being the disciple of the former Dragon Emperor, an unrivaled person in Motian Realm.
Gradually, Zhang Tie’s young look became an ID card of him as the new Dragon Emperor. Zhang Tie had not imagined about that; however, it was not bad for him.
“Wu Qiankun from Emperor NvWa Pce...”
“Yuan Lang from Star Emperor Immortal Pce...”
“It’s our great honor to meet Your Majesty!”
Despite their high social positions, the two people still dared not offend Zhang Tie when they saw Zhang Tieing in.
Zhang Tie went all the way to the main seat and sat down there. After that, he took a look at the two people and raised his arm, saying, “Please take a seat!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“May I know your purpose here?” Zhang Tie asked straightforwardly like how an emperor always did.
Yuan Lang threw a nce at Wu Qiankun.
“We’ve got two things!” Wu Qiankun said with a smile, “First, Emperor NvWa Pce determines to return the Immortal Wind Pces to Dragon Emperor City as our gift for the return of Grand Dragon Emperor and the ascension to the throne of Your Majesty...”
Previously, there were two immortal wind pces in Dragon Emperor City, which were used to receive the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce. In the heyday of Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce, immortal generals and their guards would make reports or pay visits to Dragon Emperor City from all the other cities due to different reasons constantly every day. These people lived in immortal wind pces at that time.
Immortal wind pce was like internal hostels of Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce. However, immortal wind pces were not only used for reception. What was more important was that there were two sets of heavenly balls inside the two immortal wind pces which the former Dragon Emperor gained from Mountain Ruins. Those immortal generals who came to Dragon Emperor City could not only live in immortal wind pces but also improve their battle skills in the heavenly balls.
Pitifully, before Huang Baimei’s group moved to Dragon Emperor City, the two immortal wind pces together with the two sets of heavenly balls had been sold to Emperor NvWa Pce by the five elders. From then on, if immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce wanted to continue to use heavenly balls in immortal wind pces, they had to pay money or element crystals.
Later on, Zhang Tie was told that the two immortal wind pces were sold at the price of 2 million earth element crystals.
In order to sustain the awful mess facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce, the five elders had tried every means they could. However, no matter what, Zhang Tie felt it was stupid to sell the two immortal wind pces to Emperor NvWa Pce. Given Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce’s situation at that time, even if they had 2 million more earth element crystals, it didn’t work at all. Conversely, after selling immortal wind pce, they would demoralize the people of Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce badly. The loss weighed out the gain.
This might be a dilemma caused by the disappearance of the former Dragon Emperor. All the decisions across Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce were made through negotiation, which were usually over conservative. Sometimes, the decisions would be inappropriate. As the old saying went, <i>one monk will shoulder two buckets of water, two monks will share the load, but add a third and no one will want to fetch water </i>due to considerations and mutual suspicions.
It was definitely a bounty for Emperor NvWa Pce to return the two immortal wind pces back to Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce. Perhaps Emperor NvWa Pce was afraid of being avenged by “Dragon Emperor”. However, Zhang Tie had to ept it.
After hearing the words of the general manager of Emperor NvWa Pce, Zhang Tie became much more rxed at a stroke. He even replied with a smile, “I appreciate Emperor NvWa Pce and General Manager Wu. I was thinking about negotiating with Emperor NvWa Pce about buying the two immortal wind pces back in a few days. Now that General Manager Wu has mentioned it, I will ept your bounty. By the way, I will return the same 2 million element crystals to Emperor NvWa Pce!”
“You’re too polite, Your Majesty. It’s just a gift that Emperor NvWa Pce presents to Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce. We don’t mean to take the 2 million element crystals back!” Wu Qiankun hurriedly exined.
“Hahaha, I appreciate Emperor NvWa Pce’s sincerity. However, I have to return the 2 million element crystals back!” Zhang Tie urged generously as he continued in a firm and joking tone, “Otherwise if the old man knew about it, he would think that I made him embarrassed by taking advantage of Emperor NvWa Pce. By then, I would have big trouble. That’s a deal. The old man cares most about his dignity and reputation even today...!”
If Zhang Tie wanted to cheat others, he had to make himself believe in that. Since Zhang Tie entered Yunshui Pce, the invisible wrestle between Zhang Tie and Star Emperor Immortal Pce had started. The 2 million element crystals were the first strike that Zhang Tieunched towards Star Emperor Immortal Pce.
As was imagined, watching Zhang Tie presenting 2 million element crystals in such an overbearing and casual way, Wu Qiangkun and Yuan Lang were both shocked too much.
Neither was it 2,000 nor 20,000 element crystals; it was 2 million element crystals. Fewer than 5 of the 3 emperor-level immortal generals and 14 throne-level immortal generals in Motian Realm could consume over 1 million element crystals annually. As for an emperor-level immortal general, 2 million element crystals was not a small figure. Actually, 2 million element crystals could meet the demand of a supreme immortal pce for 3-5 years.
However, Zhang Tie casually presented 2 million element crystals to Emperor NvWa Pce. Few people across Motian Realm could be as generous as him...
The astonishment of Wu Qiankun and Yuan Lang could be imagined.
The key was that Emperor NvWa Pce and Star Emperor Immortal Pce were both crystal clear about the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce. If Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce lived well, the five elders would not have exchanged two immortal wind pces for 2 million element crystals. If Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce was still as powerful as before, Star Emperor Immortal Pce would not have dared to plunder its cities tantly.
Because the two people were both clear about the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Pce, they were shocked by Zhang Tie’s decision.
