It seemed that women knew better how to maintain their health and youth than men. After many years, Gongsun Liniang still looked that capable and distant. Strangers could barely approach her.

Gongsun Liniang might have not discovered Donder’s lascivious eye light or realized that it was inconvenient for her to lose her temper on this occasion. This beautiful female knight with short hair just looked at Zhang Tie in a bizarre way as if she discovered a pre-historical dinosaur which jumped out of the rock.

The more people were familiar with Zhang Tie, the more they would be curious about Zhang Tie’s current achievement and position.

Heavens Fortune Sect also assigned their representatives here. Zhang Tie noticed the elders of Heavens Fortune Sect whom he had met in the White Tiger Platform in Youzhou Province and Feng Cangwu who looked shocked together with his 3 sons Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zheng Chengpei among the audience.

After 5 years, Zhang Tie’s 3 sons had been 9 years old. They all inherited the genes of Zhang Tie and their moms and looked pretty handsome. With black hair, black eyes, straight noses and snow-white skin, they looked half-blooded more or less. Before Zhang Tie appeared, his 3 sons were also the most eye-catching ones in the auditorium.

Although being only 9 years old, they looked as tall and straight as 12-year-old teenagers. Given their looks, they were undoubtedly elites. As there were so many knights at present, the moment they threw a glance at the 3 kids, they had known that Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei had lit all the surging points on their spines. In another word, they were LV 9 fighters.

LV 9 fighters at 9 years old? They were definitely geniuses in cultivation among the top 7 sects of Taixia Country. Such a talent in cultivation was really enviable.

Only after inquiring about that out of amazement, they had known that the 3 kids in the auditorium were Zhang Tie’s 3 sons. Because they were learning battle skills in Heavens Fortune Sect, according to the regulation of Heavens Fortune Sect, they were not qualified to leave the sect yet, including asking for a leave to go home. This time, they were allowed to attend the rotating chakra ceremony in the identity of disciples of Heavens Fortune Sect.

Last night, when the airboat of Heavens Fortune Sect parked in Jinwu City, the three boys had already returned home and met their moms. Since 2 days ago, Zhang Tie had taken a bath and changed his clothes in his elder’s pavilion on the top of Tiger Embracing Mountain and entered meditation while burning incense for the preparation of this rotating chakra ceremony. Therefore, his 3 sons didn’t see Zhang Tie last night. It was their first time to see their dad.

When Zhang Tie approached them, Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei almost dropped off their tears.

“You’re men. You didn’t let me down these years. Your dad is very happy about your achievement. Men should not cry at this moment!” Zhang Tie threw a deep glance at the 3 boys as he told them in a secret way.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei threw a glance at each other; meanwhile, they wiped off their tears as they chested out and accepted Zhang Tie’s review like soldiers. In their hearts, their dad was always their hero…They didn’t believe that their dad could do such a lunatic thing in Fuhai City. Now, Zhang Tie’s case had been redressed; additionally, he had promoted to an earth knight. Therefore, Zhang Tie’s image in the minds of his 3 sons became more supreme.

‘My 3 sons have already promoted to LV 9 fighters?’ Zhang Tie shook his head and revealed a bitter smile inside. When he was 9 years old, Zhang Tie was still playing mud in Blackhot City. At that time, cultivation was a fairy tale for him. However, his 3 sons had become LV 9 fighters in Heavens Fortune Sect, one of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country at 9 years old. What a sharp contrast!’ Zhang Tie even felt embarrassed to compare himself to his 3 sons.

After a few years, Feng Cangwu looked a bit thinner while his facial skin became a bit coarse. Zhang Tie couldn’t find any arrogance from him anymore; instead, Zhang Tie found that he became more profound and steadier. Besides the dashing spirit between his eyebrows which looked as sharp as an unsheathed sword blade, Feng Cangwu had completely changed. Zhang Tie wondered what Feng Cangwu had experienced in the Earth-elements Realm these years.

“Have a drink with me tonight!” Zhang Tie told Feng Cangwu in a secret way.

Feng Cangwu revealed a faint smile.

True friends didn’t need to talk too much.

Taiyi Fantasy Sect assigned some strangers to attend this ceremony under the leadership of an earth knight. Watching Zhang Tie coming over here, although they all revealed smiles politely, their eye light looked unscrupulous. They just glanced over Zhang Tie freely as if they wanted to discover Zhang Tie’s secrets.

Zhang Tie didn’t feel like caring about these guys of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. The reason that he would like to return the airboat to them mainly lay in that he didn’t want Lan Yunxi to be embarrassed in Taiyi Fantasy Sect; neither would he want to destroy the relationship between Lord Huaiyuan and Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Additionally, Taixia Country was more and more chaotic, it was necessary to ease tensions between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect. He had already made a compromise to Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Zhang Tie didn’t even care about the grand elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, not to mention the thoughts of the disciples of Taiyi Fantasy Sect.

Zhang Tie just threw a casual look at those representatives of Taiyi Fantasy Sect before passing by.

Those officials assigned by Northeast Military Region were in official uniforms. The Supreme Court of Xuanyuan Hill directly assigned a supreme court justice and an earth knight with a dark face. Their people were watching Zhang Tie out of curiosity; however, they didn’t behave as freely as those from Taiyi Fantasy Sect.

The officials of the Northeast Military Region were here to confirm the identities of Zhang Tie and Cui Li. Whatever, Fire-dragon Bounty Territory was under Cui Li’s name. If Zhang Tie couldn’t prove that he was Cui Li, he couldn’t prove that he was the owner of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory either, the ownership of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory would then have problems. The officials of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country were here to apologize to Zhang Tie for that he had been wanted by Supreme Court for a few years.

The most excited ones in the audience were those clan representatives whose disciples had been enrolled by Zhang Tie as his disciples in Xuantian City a few months ago. As the happiest ones, their smiles were sincerest and most enthusiastic. Because Zhang Tie’s powerful performance and great fame meant bright future of his disciples and profits for his disciples’ clans.

When Zhang Tie approached his family members, Zhang Haitian, Zhang Tie’s parents, Zhang Yang, Zhang Tie’s wives, elder sisters-in-law, uncles, aunts and cousins looked pretty spirited as they all bathed the glory of the clan brought by Zhang Tie.

The eyes of Zhang Tie’s parents and wives were already wet unconsciously. Zhang Yang was watching Zhang Tie with a smile as he tried to not drop off his tears. Zhang Haitian’s face had blushed as he chested out constantly. Zhang Su, Zhang Tie’s cousin revealed a smile and he held up his thumb in approval towards Zhang Tie.

Under the gaze of everybody else, Zhang Tie revealed a brilliant smile towards his family members.

All the others were looking at Zhang Tie with different expressions, such as admiration, jealousy, discontent, restlessness and gossip…

After passing by the audience, Zhang Tie burned 3 incenses for his forebears and inserted them into the incense burner solemnly. After accomplishing the tedious process, he returned and officially took a golden mace which represented the authority of the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace and a new remote-sensing finger ring from the hand of Zhang Taixuan, who looked solemn. After that, he sat on the golden chair.

“Elder Mushen has formed his 2 chakras. From today on, Elder Mushen becomes the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace. He could use his golden mace to beat muddle-headed clan head and unworthy descendants of Huaiyuan Palace…” Elder Muyuan’s sound reverberated around the square outside the Ancestral Shrine Palace, “Descendants of Huaiyuan Palace, please show your respect to Elder Mushen…”
