Zhang Tie was also shocked by Elder Muray's bayonet-charge .
Elder Muray moved very fast; however, Zhang Tie also had a quick response . He dodged from the first strike by retreating 300 m away in a split second .
"Elder Muen, have you also forgotten that I wanted to add sugar to the Top Quality Wild Spring Tea from Eastern Continent in the airship outside the Heavens Cold City?" Zhang Tie roared towards Elder Muen, instead of explaining it to Elder Muray .
Only Zhang Tie and Elder Muen were at present when this happened . Additionally, such a detail could be barely known by others .
"Brother Muray, wait for a second!" Elder Muen urged .
The moment Zhang Tie finished his words had Elder Muen flashed towards Elder Muray as fast as a lightning bolt and stopped him .
In such a short period, Zhang Tie had dodged three strikes from Elder Muray; however, he didn't launch any counterattack at all .
Zhang Tie felt that Elder Muray was just a bit better than that knight who chased after him . Elder Muray's true trump card was his brilliant huge bow, which was suitable for long-distance fight most .
"You believe him?" Elder Muray's face turned completely purple, which looked pretty majestic, "How come Zhang Tie became a knight at such a young age? This demon is obviously disrupting and mocking our Huaiyuan Palace!"
"The drinking details, a few years ago outside Heavens Cold City, could hardly be exposed to the public!" Elder Muen watched Elder Muray with a solemn look .
"However, it's possible . With some secret skills, people could easily get one's memory . If Zhang Tie fell into the hand of that demon, it's not strange for the demon to know the details . . . " Elder Muray urged as he slowed down .
"If it's a real shadow demon, we can cooperate to kill it after a short while . He won't escape!"
After hearing Elder Muen' words, Elder Muray finally stopped . However, he was still glaring at Zhang Tie as if he wanted to see what other tricks could this shadow demon play .
Zhang Tie just suspended about 50 m away from the other two Elders .
"How can you persuade us that you're Zhang Tie?" Elder Muen asked Zhang Tie calmly .
Zhang Tie smiled, "Have you forgotten about it, Elder Muray? You've already identified my status in the Ancestral Bloodline Palace of Clansmen Pavilion with bloodline crystal . As you might feel that I'm disguised no matter what I say now, why not identify it once again? I can wait here . You can go back to get the bloodline crystal; I can also follow you in the Clansmen Pavilion . No matter what, it's not far from here!" Zhang Tie pointed at the location of the Clansmen Pavilion below his feet .
After hearing Zhang Tie's answer, even Elder Muray became stunned . He had not imagined that Zhang Tie could be such straightforward . If Zhang Tie was really a disguised one, how could he be so confident? In front of the bloodline crystal, any disguised person would expose his original look . Shadow demon could disguise as Zhang Tie . Some people could get Zhang Tie's memory through some secret skills . However, bloodline heritage could never be disguised .
After exchanging a glance with each other, the two elders nodded slightly and tacitly . After that, Elder Muray stayed here; Elder Muen turned around and flew towards Clansmen Pavilion as fast as a lightning bolt . In the knight's speed, it only took him a couple of minutes to come and go . Even if Zhang Tie was the Demon General, Elder Muen believed that Elder Muray could also stand a couple of minutes' fight with Zhang Tie .
Soon after Elder Muen left, watching Zhang Tie waiting for him back with a calm look, Elder Muray finally couldn't help but ask with a dubious look, "You . . . you're really Zhang Tie?"
After letting out a sigh, Zhang Tie watched Elder Muray calmly, "Elder Muray and I met in the Ancestral Bloodline Pavilion for the first time . As we have our own persistence, I made you unhappy at that moment . However, I could also sense Elder Muray's concern about me when I was chased by the demon knight . I have to extend my thanks to Elder Muray!"
After saying it, Zhang Tie deeply bowed towards Elder Muray .
Zhang Tie didn't tell Elder Muray that he had witnessed how Elder Muray killed Koz, the head of Senel Clan . As he was in the incarnation of a beetle, it would be hard to explain about it .
After hearing the two relevant events, Elder Muray's snowwhite eyebrows jumped one time as his aggressive qi instantly relieved .
"I know your doubt, Elder Muray . As I was chased by the demon knight, I was forced to jump into the subterranean river before you arrived . The watercourse of the subterranean river was very complex . Thankfully, I had a good diving skill which was formed when I was in Hidden Dragon Island . I had a chance to survive myself in the subterranean river . However, I was taken into an underground space by the subterranean river, where I had a marvelous experience and promoted to a knight within 1 month!"
Elder Muray now looked a bit relieved . However, before Elder Muray said anything, Elder Muen had already returned from the Clansmen Pavilion with the bloodline crystal in his hand .
Elder Muen directly threw the bloodline crystal towards Zhang Tie, "Now that you've used it, you should know how to use it!"
Watching the crystal which radiated a fantastic brilliance with a drop of blood roiling inside, Zhang Tie directly pierced his finger with the tip of the crystal, having his fresh blood drop onto the crystal .
When the blood inside the crystal met Zhang Tie's fresh blood, the bloodline crystal instantly radiated the glow, brightening hundreds sq m, making it like an afterglow . The crystal even floated in the sky weightlessly .
When the crystal radiated the glow, it indicated that this person was the offspring of the Lord Huaiyuan . The crystal floating in the sky indicated that the drop of fresh blood entering the crystal truly came from the knight .
At the sight of this scene, Elder Muen and Elder Muray were both surprised and excited as their eyebrows and mustaches both raised .
Realizing that someone on the ground had paid attention to the glow radiated from the bloodline crystal, Elder Muen waved his sleeve and put away the bloodline crystal before saying, "Go back to the Ancestral Hall first!"
Zhang Tie then followed the two elders towards the Ancestral Hall of Huaiyuan Palace .
It was Zhang Tie's first time to go to Ancestral Hall . After arriving at the terrace outside the Ancestral Hall, Zhang Tie then followed them in a magnificent hall .
At the end of the Ancestral Hall, there was an over 20-m high huge metal statue, which was heroically drawing open a crossbow towards the gate of the hall . There were many huge pillars as high as dozens of meters and as wide as 3-4 m in the hall . Some huge purple gold-copper cauldrons were standing in the corners while burning a special whale oil . Without causing any smoke, the burning oil released an exotic fragrance that made people reassured . The power, wealth and family background of Huaiyuan Palace were all exhibited in the hall .
The moment Zhang Tie caught sight of the characters " 怀远堂 1 " above the metal statue had he known that this man was Zhang Huaiyuan, the founder of Huaiyuan Palace and his direct ancestor .
At the foot of the huge statue were over 20 rows of more than 10,000 memorial tablets in total that were tidily and solemnly placed in stages . Beneath these tablets was a worship desk . In the middle of the worship desk was a piece of huge, pure, transparent black crystal as high as almost 1 m .
Everything here was very solemn and majestic .
Zhang Tie just watched the ancestral tablets and the statue of his ancestor silently . He then moved forward and took 3 sticks of incenses from the worship desk and lit them .
"Zhang Tie, apprentice of Huaiyuan Palace worships ancestors . I hope you could safeguard Huaiyuan Palace, keep it prosperous forever and keep my parents safe and happy for the rest of their lives . Please let me shoulder the diseases, aging, sorrows, pains and all the disasters for my parents!"
After saying that, Zhang Tie reverently knelt down and kowtowed three times before inserting the incenses into the incense burners .
Elder Muray and Elder Muen had long heard that Zhang Tie was extremely obedient to his parents . When Zhang Tie's family lived in Blackhot City, they were poor . Zhang Tie's mother sold rice brew to make up his father's income at the price of 2-3 copper coins per bowl . Zhang Tie liked to eat rice brew very much . However, after 4 years of age, he didn't eat anymore . When his family members asked why, he said he didn't want to take too much as he knew his parents were working too hard . Later on, when Zhang Tie's family returned to Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Tie then saved his father out of the prison using a "Mental Arithmetic by Abacus" . After that, Zhang Tie invented all-purpose medicament and became the pillar of the whole family . Although he could make too much money per day, he still didn't complain about his parents at all; instead, he always disguised as a naive kid to please his parents .
As all these things about Zhang Tie were too trivial, of course, the two elders would not pay attention to them until Zhang Tie had 3 outstanding sons .
Listening to Zhang Tie's prayer, the two elders felt emotional . As an old Hua saying went, parents were the pillars of a family . If there was an obedient son in a family, the family would naturally be surrounded by fortune qi and always have good lucks . Even if the whole family was in a dilemma, they could still get rid of it due to bliss . As Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang were both obedient sons, although their family had just returned to Huaiyuan Palace from Blackhot City a few years ago, their family lived better one year after another . After promoting to a knight, Zhang Tie made Zhang Clan even the entire bloodline of Golden Sea City of Huaiyuan Palace prosperous . With one more knight, Huaiyuan Palace also became more powerful . Being obedient counted most in Hua culture . What a simple truth!
Watching Zhang Tie finishing his prayer, Elder Muen had Zhang Tie take a seat and wait for a few seconds . After then, he pointed at a golden jar with a narrow neck while a strand of battle qi flew out, causing a muffled sound . At the same time, Zhang Tie felt a bizarre strength spreading in the hall like ripples .
"Elder Muen, what's that for?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity .
