"Ahh, Castle Lord . . . " Edward hurriedly bowed towards Zhang Tie when he passed by the hall of the palace tree at the sight of Zhang Tie .

Zhang Tie just passed by Edward as fast as the wind . Before saying anything, he directly rushed towards the small tree and picked off that latest trouble-reappearance fruit at once . Closely after that, he pushed the trouble-reappearance fruit into his mouth before revealing a smile towards Edward . Then, he disappeared right under the small tree . The entire process lasted less than 3 seconds, leaving Edward standing still there with a dumbfounded look . . .

. . .

When Zhang Tie came out of Castle of Black Iron, he was still chewing the latest trouble-reappearance fruit as he had already sat down with crossed legs .

Zhang Tie took the last trouble-reappearance fruit in the Earth-element Realm . Even though he had taken the last trouble-reappearance fruit, he didn't activate that trouble-reappearance situation . As he had not taken trouble-reappearance fruit for a long time, Zhang Tie almost forgot about the taste of trouble-reappearance fruit .

The moment the exotic energy of the trouble-reappearance fruit entered Zhang Tie's mouth, it had risen up like a curl of smoke and directly rushed into Zhang Tie's mind sea before converging with Zhang Tie's spiritual energy . After that, a sparkle appeared in Zhang Tie's mind sea while an exotic, hexagon entrance flew over here from the sparkle and covered Zhang Tie completely, bringing Zhang Tie into a bizarre trouble-reappearance situation . . .

. . .

Zhang Tie appeared in the same room .

At the sight of Zhang Tie standing there, the demonized puppet that he had killed just now immediately roared with bloody eyes like seeing its enemy before charging towards Zhang Tie .

This LV 9 demonized puppet was just as trivial as a fly for Zhang Tie . Zhang Tie didn't even feel like dealing with it; instead, he just punched a wall into pieces . In the rocks and roar, Zhang Tie instantly strode out of the room and entered the manor .



The manor remained as peaceful as before . Besides nobody was here, every tree and bush here was as same as that Zhang Tie saw a few minutes ago .

The alloy cage was still on the lawn . Although there were still blood stains in the cage and the smell of blood was still in the air, there was no black spider in the cage anymore .

The LV 9 demonized puppet closely followed Zhang Tie out of the broken wall as it rushed towards Zhang Tie with bare fangs and brandish claws . Only by casually flicking towards the demonized puppet, Zhang Tie had blown up the two shanks of the demonized puppet . The demonized puppet shrieked miserably as it fell down . Even so, it continued to climb on the ground towards Zhang Tie as if it wanted to bite Zhang Tie forcefully . However, its moving speed was ten times slower than that before . Additionally, it looked pretty hilarious .

The whole world became quiet .

The moment Zhang Tie moved, he had come to the street outside the manor of Lord Guangnan over 100 m away benefited from his Kuafu bloodline .

The street lamps, roadside stores and nightscape remained unchanged .

After looking around, Zhang Tie found that the street was a bit more spacious than before . Something must have disappeared .

'Ah, all the alcohol-driven vehicles on the streets have disappeared . Only the buses that parked on the roadsides could be seen . After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie realized that it was a feature of the trouble-reappearance fruit . In the trouble-reappearance situation, moving objects under the control of humans, personal belongings of humans and any items that were interacting with humans or some living beings could not be captured .

Otherwise, trouble-reappearance fruits would really be too amazing .

Even so, Zhang Tie was also satisfied enough .

As for the small tree, Zhang Tie knew that the current Xuanyuan Hill in his eyes was nothing different than the former Wildwolf Valley or the Hidden Dragon Island; in another word, everything here was just a meaningless arrangement of material elements or sceneries in the photos . With a click, all the sceneries, including handsome boys, beauties, ugly ones, gold, silver, copper, iron, jewelry and wastes would be kept . Watching the completely open, empty Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie felt a bit thrilled as if he was pulling the strings in the public in an examination . . .



Zhang Tie started to run rapidly towards the emperor's imperial city . With the effect of Kuafu bloodline, even though Zhang Tie couldn't fly, he could still move as fast as the wind and lightning bolt on the ground . In each stride, he could move hundreds of meters . Such a speed was even a bit faster than the flight speed of common knights . After running for 2 minutes, Zhang Tie became pretty excited . With a roar, he immediately jumped onto the roof of a roadside building and started to run along the roofs of those buildings . . .

Under the two bright moons, Zhang Tie jumped over the roofs of the buildings in Xuanyuan Hill as fast as a meteor, leaving the roadside buildings and streets behind rapidly .

Sometimes, Zhang Tie would even break the roofs of those buildings if he used too much strength on his foot . However, nobody would claim compensation for him in the trouble-reappearance situation .

The linear distance between the manor of Lord Guangnan and Horse Bridge was over 90 miles . In less than 10 minutes, Zhang Tie had already fallen onto the gate tower at the bridgehead of Horse Bridge with a bang .

Standing on the top of the gate tower, Zhang Tie felt a cold wind blowing over . Although there were ripples in the Golden Water River, the gate tower was still empty . There was not even a guard or a knight inside it . After identifying the orientation, Zhang Tie jumped up once again and landed on the huge steel structure of the Horse Bridge . Only after a few steps, he had already rushed over the Horse Bridge and entered the territory of emperor's imperial city .

The emperor's imperial city of Xuanyuan Hill didn't look different than the other places in Xuanyuan Hill essentially . The roadside buildings were tidier; additionally, the residences and signboards of central authority agencies in Taixia Country could be seen everywhere across the emperor's imperial city . All of these places were magnificent and solemn . Even the courtyards in the emperor's imperial city looked special .

If Xuanyuan Hill was regarded as the ground at the foot of Emperor Xuanyuan, emperor's imperial city could almost be regarded as the ground under the eyes of Xuanyuan Hill .

As Zhang Tie ran, he kept recalling the map of the emperor's imperial city in Xuanyuan Hill .

Although commoners could not enter the emperor's imperial city; the map of the emperor's imperial city was nothing confidential . Even the location of the imperial palace was marked on the map, not to mention the central residences of authority agencies, the manors of top 3 chancellors and 9 ministers .

A few minutes later, Zhang Tie landed before the gate of a grand manor . He raised his head and caught sight of the golden words above the gate——Finance Minister's Manor .

There were copper lions outside the gate of this manor . The footsteps were made of white jade . Besides, 4 lanterns were hanging over the gate . Besides one main entrance in the middle, there were two smaller ones on both sides . All the three entrances on the gate were tightly closed .

After looking at it, Zhang Tie shook his head . Closely after that, he walked onto the jade steps and ascended to the front of the main entrance . Only by one kick, he had blown up the closed gate . After that, he walked inside .

The finance minister's manor covered over 60,000 square meters . It contained pavilions, waterside terraces, open halls, rockeries, gardens and pools .

Zhang Tie started to travel around the manor leisurely like a curious tourist . With lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could see everything clearly in the manor .

There were three underground buildings in the manor, an icehouse which contained many ice cubes, a cellar which contained many drinks and a cultivation room for knights which contained a senior elements gathering matrix . Additionally, there were two secret tunnels from where people could access the finance minister's manor secretly .

Zhang Tie didn't feel it was strange for a manor of one of the 9 ministers in Taixia Country to have such secret tunnels . Given the locations of those secret tunnels, they should have been built together with the manor .

As most of the people living in this manor were servants and guards, their rooms above the ground were nothing special .

Among the rooms above the ground, there were two buildings which looked like private warehouses . Some jewelry and gold coins were inside the two buildings . Even though they were of great value and rare, they were valueless for Zhang Tie in the trouble-reappearance situation .

There was nothing eye-catching in the rooms of the master of this manor .

After looking around seriously in the manor, Zhang Tie finally came to the study on the side of the lotus-flower pool .

This study was not large; however, it was pretty tranquil and tidy . The moment Zhang Tie entered it, he had seen a treasured calligraphy on the wall, which contained two words "The Best" . The signature of the calligraphy was "Scrawled by Water Hearing Mountain Hermit in Hiding Dragon Month, Kuimou Year" . Beside that signature, there was a small private seal, which contained three small seal characters " 韩正方 1 " . . .

Standing in front of this calligraphy, Zhang Tie watched the three seal characters silently as he slightly narrowed his eyes .

Han Zhengfang, the name of the very finance minister in Taixia Country .

Water Hearing Mountain Hermit must be Han Zhengfang's elegant appellation . Among the top figures in Taixia Country, elegant appellations were very popular . The traditional Chinese chronology was also known as stems-and-branches . If not have studied about it previously, Zhang Tie might not know which year did Kuichou Year refer to .

The latest Kuichou year should be the 891st year of Black Iron Calendar . Each circulation contained 60 years . Given the look of this calligraphy, it should be made on the 891st year of Black Iron Calendar . Hiding Dragon Month should refer to November .

If not have known the other identity of Han Zhengfang, Zhang Tie would not pay too much attention to this calligraphy . After knowing that he was the master of Heavens Reaching Church and colluded with demons, Zhang Tie could have a different feeling about this calligraphy .

The 891st year of Black Iron Calendar should be the very year when the holy war broke out . If Han Zhengfang left this calligraphy at that time, it would be meaningful .

'The best, hiding dragon, interesting . What an ambitious guy!' Zhang Tie revealed a sneer, 'I will change this ambitious hiding dragon into a dead snake . '

After looking at this calligraphy for a short while, Zhang Tie came to the front of the bookshelves .

Most of the book on the bookshelves were political and historical works and poems . There was no trick in those books . After glancing around them, Zhang Tie walked towards the desk over there .

On one side of the desk, there were writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and inkstones . There was a delicate gold folder on the table containing a lot of names cards and invitation cards, which had been arranged well by Han Zhengfang's trusted subordinates for Han Zhengfang's selection .

Zhang Tie picked an invitation card on the top and opened it . It was sent by the minister of Recreational Affairs Ministry, who invited Han Zhengfang for a party 3 days ago . According to the date, they would meet each other today . . .

Looking at the gold folder on the table, Zhang Tie's eyes suddenly sparkled, 'If I could have a trouble-reappearance fruit every day, won't I get hang of the trace of Han Zhengfang in the emperor's imperial city in advance?'
