Chapter 1587: The Changing Situation

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

Time flew past on the airboat, at least for Zhang Tie.

Celestial Woodbuilding, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and Bai Runshan were all wise. They just cultivated in their own airboats and waited for their own elders and disciples. Even if they had something to talk with Zhang Tie, they just used remote-sensing communications finger rings to contact Zhang Tie.

During these days, what happened in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect had already spread over the country and arisen many topics, causing the turbulent overall situation facing Taixia Country more weird and unpredictable.

During these days, despite being in South Border, as long as one browsed the articles in the forum of Mountain of Brightness, he would find that the entire forum had been pretty active.

The bloody case of the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect became a hot topic across Taixia Country again.

Although Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion both delivered articles on Mountain of Brightness to refute a rumor, the gossips concerning that the two sects joined hands to exterminate Great Wilderness Sect still spread over the world. Even ordinary swordsmen had already known that, not to mention knights. As a result, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion which always regarded themselves as the orthodox and righteous sects of Taixia Country suffered unprecedented doubts and condemnations. The two sects were both deeply mired in the swirl.

Those who doubted and condemned Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion held the same reason——the deed that Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion chose to exterminate another top sect of Taixia Country by killing so many knights had already broken the tolerance of Taixia Country as a whole.

As for those ordinary knights and clans, now that Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion dared do that to Great Wilderness Sect, they were afraid that the two sects might do the same to their own sects and clans.

As for the official, namely Xuanyuan Hill, what Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion did was intolerant either. According to Taixia Laws, if knights killed people, they should accept the same punishment as commoners. Although this law was flexible to a certain degree, for instance, when knights scrambled for rarities and cultivation resources in Earth-elements Realm in terms of fight or duel, this law would not be applicable. According to an unwritten rule widely accepted by the official of Taixia Country and the circle of knights, duels between ordinary knights and top sects due to vendetta would not be resolved through official means.

就比如说这次大荒洞天之内的夺宝行动,如果有参与这次行动的骑士在这个过程之中与其他骑士发生冲突被杀,那么,太夏的官方和朝廷是不会管这种事情的,如果真有傻子骑士想去”报案”,那个骑士只会受到所有人的一致的鄙夷和唾弃,他自己也难以在骑士圈子中再混下去,这样的规则就有点像民间江湖帮派或者黑社会之间的恩怨和斗争的胜败不会通过廷尉府去解决是一个道理.

Take this treasure exploration in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect as an instance, if some knights were killed by other knights due to conflicts in this process, the official and the royal court of Taixia Country would not care about it. If some idiots wanted to report the case to the official, they would get the consistent contempt; besides, they would be repelled out of the circle of knights. Such a rule was similar to that the duel between gangs due to vendetta would not be resolved by the criminal courts.

However, the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect was not caused by the vendetta between sects. Actually, Great Wilderness Sect had no vendetta with Taiyi Fantasy Sect or Heavens Holding Pavilion at all. It was a pure murder and crime. Besides the death of almost all the knights of Great Wilderness Sect, that night, tens of thousands of ordinary disciples and commoners in the sect and in a town nearby were killed. Besides barbarians from the South Border, many of the commoners were Hua civilians and individual traders from South Border.

If Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion really did that, as the ruler of Taixia Country, Xuanyuan Hill had to give an explanation for the death of those innocent victims. If Xuanyuan Hill chose to be silent in this case, its authority would be severely weakened.

Therefore, on the second day since Zhang Tie exited the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Xuanyuan Changying the honorary emperor of Xuanyuan Hill had delivered an order to thoroughly investigate the case of the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect. On the said day, the document of Xuanyuan Hill had already reached Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, which was requested to coordinate with the Supreme Court of Taixia Country to investigate the case.

Of course, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion would not wait for punishment in this case; instead, the two sects immediately labeled Yun Zhongzi as demons’ lackey as they commonly declared that the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was a conspiracy of demons. Yun Zhongzi just slandered and framed them. In addition, demons wanted to use the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect to destroy the internal unity of Taixia Country and waver the foundation of Taixia Country as a whole.

The two sects’ declaration acquired the support of Qionglou Pavilion at once. Closely after that, the three sects sent a shiki-jitsu to Yun Zhongzi with a reward more than that for Zhao Yuan who always ranked first on the Criminals Wanted List of Supreme Court.

However, Yun Zhongzi’s trace was mysterious. After leaving the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Yun Zhongzi had disappeared.

The battle in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border directly influenced the overall situation facing Taixia Country. Besides stimulating hidden turbulent forces, it also caused Imperial Alliance to confront with Xuanyuan Hill face-to-face for the first time. As a result, Zhang Tie, who as an outsider but knew everything about it, held his breath unknowingly and waited for the result patiently.

Only after staying in the airboat for two days, Zhang Tie’s overall strength had already recovered to his heyday. That gentle yet powerful sun rose up from his qi sea again while the void above his mind sea was filled with bright moons and sky again. With surging spiritual energy and battle qi in each cell, Zhang Tie mastered the long-awaited power again.

Compared to the intention of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion, Zhang Tie, although being indulged in Bai Suxian’s concern in the airboat, had shocked the world again together with his heroic deed “saving over 10,000 human knights at the risk of his own life. As a result, Zhang Tie became the symbol of righteousness in the mouths of all the human knights in Taixia Country. He became the number one knight in Taixia Country while his reputation reached a new high.

Lord Guangnan, Zhang Tie’s father-in-law was resolute. After knowing that Zhang Tie got the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Lord Guangnan directly gifted the entire Centralpillar Mountain and the area within 6,000 miles to Zhang Tie as his bounty land for awarding that Zhang Tie saved so many human knights of Taixia Country.

Previously, the orders of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion were only applicable to Bazis in South Border, which was only restricted to the regions nearby Bazi. The farther it was to Bazis, the weaker the influence of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion would be. Previously, the surrounding areas of Centralpillar Mountain were the hinterland of barbarians in South Border. Although they belonged to Taixia Country nominally, they had their own way of dominance. At that time, the barbarians in numerous mountains would never admit the effect of the orders from Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. Whereas, this time, when Lord Guangnan’s Mansion awarded these areas as Zhang Tie’s bounty land, the first ones who rooted for it were those barbarian knights…
