After seeing off Princess Candis, Zhang Tie saw a black sedan parking on his side silently .

This was an exclusive vehicle for the elder of Huaiyuan Palace, a super luxurious sedan imported from Taixia Country, Eastern Continent .

This sedan shared the same brand with the super sports car Faire Dragon T9 that Zhang Tie once drove . However, they had utterly different styles . If Faire Dragon T9 with sharp lines belonged to those rebellious youngsters, this square, stable vehicle was definitely the favorite of elders .

Being lowkey, its 5 m-long and 2 m-wide body and the square silver and crystal grates of its head made it dignified . However, what made this car more majestic was its license plate . Compared to the other license plates in Huiayuan Prefecture, this one only had a golden bow instead of any number on it . Across Huaiyuan Prefecture, only the license plate of elders' sedans was the symbol of power and majesty .

After the car parked, the driver hurriedly got off and pulled open the door for Zhang Tie .

This driver was not a commoner, but a LV 12 great battle master who had accepted strict training . The driver himself was enough to handle many troubles .

The driver's name was Zhang Long, the offspring of Zhang Clan in Huaiyuan Palace . He was definitely loyal to Zhang Clan .

After Zhang Tie entered the car, Zhang Long closed the door from outside . After that, he returned to the driver's seat and drove the car out of the airship base .

"Elder Mushen, where are you heading for?" Zhang Long asked respectfully .

"Take me to Yiyang Mountain first!" Zhang Tie replied as he leaned against the comfortable pillow on the backseat and gradually relaxed himself .



Zhang Long then drove towards Yiyang Mountain . Meanwhile, the double glass between the cab and the backseats silently rose up, enabling Zhang Tie to have a good rest .

Until he saw Candis off did Zhang Tie feel like truly completing the rotating chakra ceremony, which had actually come to an end one week ago, though .

The Faerie-dragon vehicle had very luxurious trim——bright platinum and ceramic decorative sheets, dark purple sandalwood grains and comfortable crocodile-skin seats . As for commoners, over 5,000 gold coins was already a high price; however, it was trivial to Zhang Tie . In this rotating chakra ceremony, Zhang Tie had received over 1500 tons of gold, which were worth at least 60 million gold coins . Plus all the other gifts, he had received over 100 million gold coins for sure .

However, not each knight could receive so many gifts when holding the rotating chakra ceremony . Zhang Tie understood that most of his achievements were benefited from the brand "Huaiyuan Palace" . Like celebrating babies' birthday, the gifts that he received on his birthday could never match that of those babies in Gregory Clan . This displayed the different influences of different clans .

With the license plate of golden bow, the vehicle "Faerie-dragon-Elder" went through Yiyang City without hindrance . On the way, many vehicles in front of this vehicle gave way to it voluntarily . At the cross, traffic policemen would even block the other vehicles from the roads on the left and on the right, allowing this sedan to access to it in advance . Zhang Tie watched the flow of people on the streets .

He could sense the change in Yiyang City——the number of Hua people on the streets was decreasing while the number of people coming from outside was increasing . A lot of Hua people would leave Yiyang City by passenger liners every day for Eastern Continent . Meanwhile, a lot of people would pour in this city from the north of Blackson Humans Corridor each day . Some were seeking for a shelter, some were seeking for a chance to move their whole families away .

The housing price in Yiyang City had already increased 3 times compared to that 5 years ago when the holy war broke out . It was even hotter than cooking oil by fire .

A large number of properties and industries of Huaiyuan Palace in this city had been sold out constantly in the past couple of years at high prices . Due to the abnormal prosperity brought by war, most of Hua people in Huaiyuan Palace and Huaiyuan Prefecture realized a nice evacuation .

Those who first bought industries and properties of Huaiyuan Palace and the other Hua clans had sold them at higher prices . However, many people were still craving for that, which indicated a thriving market demand .

Nobody knew when demons could reach here . Therefore, nobody knew who would pick up the last plate . It was like beating the drum to pass the parcel . Until the one stopped beating the drum would someone else be the final idiot .



Watching the prosperous scene in Yiyang City, Zhang Tie faintly narrowed his eyes . He knew that the prosperity here would not stagnate until the demonized puppets corps climbed over Kalay Mountain Range . As the final protector of Huaiyuan Palace in Waii Sub-continent and the leader of Hurricane Corps, Zhang Tie was actually not responsible for fighting demons at the risk of his life; neither would he be the savior . Instead, he preferred that these cities could maintain prosperity as long as possible and Huaiyuan Palace could extract the value of these cities to the utmost . In a euphemistic and noble expression, his responsibility was to keep smooth the southernmost tunnel in Waii Sub-continent, it might be the last maritime escape tunnel for many people to have a chance to leave out of here before the arrival of demons .

The other clans of Jinyun Country almost adopted the similar strategies .

Zhang Tie was clear about his responsibility .

A knight was enough to safeguard 3 cities .

After arriving at the foot of Yiyang Mountain, Zhang Tie got off the car and came to the Shrine Palace of Huaiyuan Palace .

Compared to the extreme, brilliant Shrine Palace 6 days ago, the Shrine Palace at this moment looked completely different . Dense steel frames and a ceiling were put up outside the entire palace like a bird's nestle . A lot of craftsmen in Huaiyuan Palace were busy disassembling the entire Shrine Palace in a very high efficiency .

As Huaiyuan Palace would leave Waii Sub-continent, all the items of this Shrine Palace would be disassembled, marked with serial numbers, packaged and transported away by the sea . After they reached Youzhou Province, Taixia Country, the entire Shrine would be restored vividly .

As one of the elders left on Yiyang Mountain, Elder Muen was standing out of the Shrine Palace with hands on his back . Raising his head, he faintly narrowed his eyes and watched the Shrine Palace of Huaiyuan Palace with a reminiscent look .

The dusk almost fell, Elder Muen was bathing the sunshine, showing a longer yet lonely shadow on the ground . He was watching workers dismantling the Shrine Palace with an intricate feeling .

Until Zhang Tie walked to his side did Elder Muen move his eyes away from the Shrine Palace to Zhang Tie . He sighed, "When we built the Shrine Palace, even Lord Huaiyuan had not imagined that this Shrine Palace would be dismantled . This palace witnessed the vicissitudes of Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace over the past two centuries . I really feel a bit sorry about it being dismantled!"

Zhang Tie could understand Elder Muen's mood faintly . After all, there were so many guests in such a brilliant palace a few days ago; but now it was going to be dismantled and taken away, leaving nothing else . Such a sharp change from prosperity and brilliance to tranquility would indeed bring people a sense of vicissitude .

"I think Huaiyuan Palace and this Shrine Palace would definitely root in Taixia Country and have a bright future . More and more knights of Huaiyuan Palace would hold their rotating chakra ceremonies here!" Zhang Tie smiled .

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Elder Muen instantly got rid of the sentimental state with a smile on his face . As elders of Zhang Clan, their mentalities were much more mature than commoners . Few of them would be mired in such a poetic, sentimental state . Elder Muen was just sighing due to the scenery . After hearing Zhang Tie's word, Elder Muen recovered his composure at once .

"It's already a perfection that this Shrine Palace had witnessed another knight of Huaiyuan Palace before leaving Huaiyuan Prefecture!" Elder Muen said as he touched his long mustache . After that, he threw a glance at Zhang Tie, "Has that princess from Raymlan Empire left?"

"Yup!" Zhang Tie answered frankly . He knew that the romantic affair between him and Princess Candis could not escape the eyes of the other elders . As that woman always stayed with him these days, he didn't mean to disguise to be innocent in front of the other elders . Additionally, such an affair could not ruin his image at all, "I'm back to bid farewell to Deacon Yu and the other girls on Long Sight Peak . I will go to Stars Viewing City tomorrow . Besides cultivation outside the city, I would always stay in the encampment of the Hurricane Corps . Later on, I will have less time to visit here . Elder Muen, can you take those beautiful girls away? As they are at such a nice age, I don't want to harm them . Please take them back and give them a rearrangement in Taixia!"

Elder Muen became silent . He knew that Zhang Tie had stuck to his limit when in the elder's pavilion on Long Sight Peak these days . Besides, Zhang Tie even returned the 100 beauties gifted by Norman Empire without even looking at them . Although Zhang Tie liked beauties, he also had his bottom line . Although being a bit romantic, he was far from lady killers .

'As Zhang Tie is on the equal footing with the other elders, if he dislikes it, nobody else can force him to do that . Now that this way doesn't work, just call it an end . Anyway, after promoting to a knight, he has a greater longevity . If he wants to have a baby, he will have no problem for 200-300 years . Just consider it later . Additionally, Zhang Tie has already got 3 babies, which is a contribution to Huaiyuan Palace . Take it easy!'

Elder Muen nodded .

. . .

After handling the affair on Long Sight Peak, Zhang Tie directly had Zhang Long drive him back to the old mansion of Zhang's family in Golden Sea City .

It was Zhang Tie's first time to go back to the old mansion after becoming a clan elder . . .

When he arrived there, it was already dark . Even though, the guards of the old mansion became spirited at once at the sight of the golden bow-shaped license plate . Two people hurriedly opened the gate for Zhang Tie . After that, one of them hurriedly went to report to the family members in the old mansion .

When Zhang Long parked the car and opened the door for Zhang Tie . All the family members of the old mansion had been waiting for Zhang Tie in the courtyard, some of them were Zhang's guests .

"Elder Mushen . . . " Watching Zhang Tie getting off the sedan, everybody hurriedly bowed towards Zhang Tie except for Zhang Tie's grandpa .

Zhang Tie sighed inside at the sight of their movements as he revealed a genial smile, "Ahh, I've just come from Yiyang City . I'm expecting to have a meal at home . Just prepare a couple of dishes for me . No waste . . . "

The words "I'm expecting to have a meal at home" made everybody hyper .

The grand madam walked out of the crowd first . She went to take a look in the kitchen and had the cooks prepare supper for Zhang Tie . Zhang Tie's two aunts also hurriedly went to help grand madam .

After Zhang Tie posed his requirement, it became a major event in the old mansion .

Under the excited look of Zhang Haitian the old man, Zhang Tie walked to his front and called grandpa . After that, he supported the old man by his arm and returned to the main hall which was crowded with all the other family members .

Even the guards and servants became spirited, not to mention those family members in the old mansion .

The two guests in the old mansion found a chance to introduce themselves to Zhang Tie . After that, they left satisfactorily .

What an intricate feeling for Zhang Tie!
