Watching White Bones Immortal with a sneer, Zhang Tie opened the door and entered the cell quietly. After that, he moved his finger and pointed over 10 locations on White Bones Immortal’s body before standing aside.

Only after a short while, White Bones Immortal’s stiff body had turned red as it started to twist on the ground. Then, he woke up and started to scream loudly as he incessantly tore his clothes, causing many bloody marks on his skin. He appeared as painful as in the purgatory.

“Aah…how do you know the solution of Dragon and Snake’s Qi Concealing Method…aah…who the hell are you…”

Dragon and Snake’s Qi Concealing Method was a secret skill of the Great Wilderness Sect. Its cultivation method and solution were completely recorded in the Great Wilderness Sutra.

As long as one activated this secret skill, he would appear dead, in which state, the executor couldn’t sense anything wrong with his body at all. However, he was still sensitive to the surrounding environment while maintaining extremely low consumption of life energy.

Dragon and Snake’s Qi Concealing Method was used by knights in the former Great Wilderness Sect in emergencies. After activating this method, one could maintain such a state for months, even years long until the arrival of the rescue force. In addition, by activating this secret method, knights of the former Great Wilderness Sect could be free from pain and fear when they were caught and interrogated.

That was how White Bones Immortal prepared to do.

Of course, Dragon and Snake’s Qi Concealing Method was nothing but a joke in front of Zhang Tie.

Dragon and Snake’s Qi Concealing Method could be hardly resolved; however, once being resolved, it would cause an adverse effect——the executor’s life energy would burn rapidly and he would feel as itchy as being bitten by tens of thousands of ants or how a boa cast off its skin. He couldn’t help but tear open his skin to alleviate the pain and itch. Meanwhile, he would become ten times more sensitive and painful.

To experience ten times greater pain of casting off his skin in terms of burning his life energy, White Bones Immortal was in his purgatory.

The Great Wilderness Sutra had long been missing. The solution of Dragon and Snake’s Qi Concealing Method was recorded in the Great Wilderness Sutra, which even White Bones Immortal himself was confused about. Therefore, he was not fearful at all. Nevertheless, White Bones Immortal could never imagine that his Dragon and Snake Qi Concealing Method was preposterous in Zhang Tie’s eyes. When he remembered the reputation of Qianji Immortal, it had been too late…

Zhang Tie watched White Bones Immortal rolling like a water snake on a piece of soldering iron. Only after a short while, his clothes had been shabby as he was covered with blood on his chest, back and thighs. Many pieces of his skin had been torn off.

“Aah…help me…help me…stop…stope me…quick…”

After pretending to be a tough man for over one month, White Bones Immortal almost collapsed at this moment as he was rolling, whining and dropping tears on the ground. Due to incontinence, his blood mixed with his urine, covering everywhere on the ground and himself. As a result, he looked like a horrible ghost, who was poor as a beggar. The reversal of Dragon and Snake’s Qi Concealing Method brought a sharp pain which was enough to destroy one’s will no matter how strong it was.

If Zhang Tie didn’t stop, White Bones Immortal would tear off all of his skin, along with his muscles and finally his guts in the most painful manner in the world.

Zhang Tie just watched him whining without any sympathy. After a while, Zhang Tie opened his mouth, “Answer me and I will keep you alive…”

“Aah…go ahead…go ahead…I will tell you everything…everything…quick, stop me…” White Bones Immortal rolled as he tore off a piece of bloody skin on his arm, revealing his muscles and blood vessels beneath his skin…

“Who’s His Majesty?”

This question might have brought greater pain to White Bones Immortal as he became a bit hesitant.

Zhang Tie instantly turned around as he intended to leave.

Watching Zhang Tie striding out of the door, White Bones Immortal completely collapsed…

“I will say it…I will say it…I will tell you everything…” White Bones Immortal rolled and whined, “His Majesty is the third royal prince of Emperor Xuanyuan——Xuanyuan Infinity…”

Although Zhang Tie had long predicted that the “His Majesty” probably was one of the royal members, he was still transfixed and felt much colder in the cell all of a sudden when he heard White Bones Immortal’s admission.

Previously, Zhang Tie had already heard the third royal prince in Xuanyuan Hill. Among those royal members, only two people were qualified to scramble for the throne from Xuanyuan Changying, namely Xuanyuan Infinity and the ninth royal prince Xuanyuan Lie.

“Who’s that shadow knight together with you that day?” Zhang Tie asked another question to test his royalty.

“Aah…he’s Immortal Fiery Huang Botao, the grand elder of Huang clan of Mercury Palace, Qizhou Province…”

Zhang Tie asked another two questions about Huang Clan and Qitian Sect to test him and White Bones Immortal answered him faithfully…

Zhang Tie then touched one location on his head, relieving his sharp pain by almost 10 percent so that he could pant…

“Why do you follow the command of Xuanyuan Infinity?”

“Because Xuanyuan Infinity…is the leader of Imperial Alliance…Huang Botao and I are both members of Imperial Alliance…”

The two words “Imperial Alliance” brought Zhang Tie greater shock than that caused by the exposure of Xuanyuan Infinity.

“What’s the doctrine of Imperial Alliance? Did Imperial Alliance exterminate the Great Wilderness Sect? Is your animal driving skill from the classics of the Great Wilderness Sect? Who else is in the Imperial Alliance besides you?” Zhang Tie asked and fixed his eyes onto White Bones Immortal in a shrewd manner as he appeared catching a great conspiracy. After asking these questions constantly, Zhang Tie pointed his body once again, relieving his pain by 10% more, providing him a driving force to answer…

“The doctrine of Imperial Alliance is helping Xuanyuan Infinity be the celestial emperor of Taixia Country…the Great Wilderness Sect in the South Border and the Bloody Soul Temple…were both exterminated by Imperial Alliance…my animal driving skill also comes from a secret method that Imperial Alliance acquired from the Great Wilderness Sect… Besides us, Imperial Alliance’s influence covers Taixia Country as a whole; among the top six sects, Taiyi…”

Right then, a bizarre blue rune flew out of the forehead of White Bones Immortal who was still rolling on the ground. In a split second, Zhang Tie felt four elements gathering towards that rune from the near elements abyss and filled that blue rune. Closely after that, the rune sank into the forehead of White Bones Immortal, exploding his head right away.

With some blood stains on his face, Zhang Tie became stunned as he didn’t believe that White Bones Immortal had already died.

The process appeared magical.

Heller had already been standing in front of Zhang Tie with a solemn look.

“This is an extremely powerful secret skill like a curse of spiritual constraint. It displays the power of rules. That rune seed was hiding in the depth of his mind sea. Even I couldn’t discover it until it flew out and gathered four elements. However, it was too late. The isolation between the Castle of Black Iron and the principal world was like a time and space barrier which delayed the duration of the curse, causing it two minutes late. If in the outside world, it might have already taken effect the moment he opened his mouth…”

Heller explained calmly.

“You mean I could have barely got any information from him in the outside world?”

“Yes!” Heller nodded as he added, “The constraint of that rune is very powerful which couldn’t be subdued by this person. He couldn’t even realize that a time bomb had been buried in his mind…”

Watching that headless corpse, Zhang Tie let out a sigh suddenly, saying, “I am a bit regretful. I prefer to have not known anything about that. I prefer to have shattered him by a hammer. Sometimes, only idiots are the happiest…”

Although White Bones Immortal didn’t complete his words, Zhang Tie had already known that he wanted to say Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Taiyi Fantasy Sect was a member of Imperial Alliance as it had been involved in the scramble for the throne and rooted for Xuanyuan Infinity to be the celestial emperor of Taixia Country, the highest position of humans. That was amazing! If Xuanyuan Emperor knew that the top six sects had attended the scramble for the throne, the entire world would be in trouble. What was more, it was uncertain whether other sects of the six top sects of Taixia Country had been involved in this scramble; because White Bones Immortal probably say the word “and” after “Taiyi Fantasy Sect” according to his tone…

Besides, how many major clans and other sects were involved in it? How did the Imperial Alliance bought over these people and won their trust?

No wonder the Great Wilderness Sect could be exterminated overnight. The destroyer was too powerful to make Zhang Tie feel no warm.

****!

In this case, Zhang Tie only murmured inside, “What the f*ck!”

Even Heller sighed, “Castle Lord, you could pretend to have known nothing about that…”

“Hmm, we could only pretend to have known nothing about that for the time being!” Zhang Tie said after being silent for a while.

“Castle Lord, you need to recover your battle strength, even promote to a heavenly knight as soon as possible. That’s the safest way by far…”

…

On the second day, Zhang Tie exited the backroom as he found Bai Suxian had long dressed well and been waiting for him to return to South Border.

“You don’t look good!” Bai Suxian said after throwing a glance at Zhang Tie.

“It’s fine. I tried too hard last night…” Zhang Tie stroked his face in a casual way.

“Let’s go. I’ve already told Mountain Lifting Hermit and the others not to bid farewell to us…”

Zhang Tie looked around as he truly found nobody. Therefore, he nodded, saying, “Well, let’s go!”

Bai Suxian grinned as she directly pulled Zhang Tie’s hand and flew onto the imperial airboat which was waiting for them in the sky. After that, the airboat flew towards South Border.

“This airboat is too ostentatious. Why not change one?” Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian.

“That would be better. Which son-in-law doesn’t use a good vehicle that he could when he pays the first visit to his wife’s home?” Bai Suxian riposted with a charming smile as she pulled Zhang Tie into her room and closed the door.

“Aah, what are you doing?”

“It would take us one week to arrive at South Border. As you’re not cultivating now, will you be in a trance during that period?” Bai Suxian said as she made a circle in front of Zhang Tie and made a cute pose by drawing her skirt, “Look, am I beautiful?”

“Could we do that in the evening?”

“No way!” Bai Suxian urged as she approached him and put her arms around Zhang Tie, nibbling Zhang Tie’s ear, “Yan Feiqing has been pregnant; I want a baby too…”
