Castle of Black Iron
chapter-1707

"It might have long snowed in Youzhou Province. I wonder what are my parents, elder brother and children doing..."

Within Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Zhang Tie looked at the distance from the window. The heavy snow immediately reminded him of the snow scene in Youzhou Province. In a split second, Zhang Tie felt homesick.

'I'm not in Waii Subcontinent, Earth-Elements Realm, or the Western Theater of Operations in Taixia Country; instead, I'm in Motian Realm, which is a marvelous place being utterly different than that in the world where I came from. Perhaps all of my family members believe that I'm already dead. Bai Suxian, Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi should have been mothers. I've got some more babies in that world.'

Zhang Tie did not worry about his children, but his parents. He wondered whether his parents could stay healthy and as open-minded as before after losing him. Now, Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Palace must have been opposite to Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Qionglou Pavilion and Heavens Holding Pavilion.

'I've made a lot of arrangements over there. Therefore, within a short period of time, the three top sects cannot do any harm to Jinwu Palace. However, I'm not sure either after a long time. After all, it's in the holy war. Taixia Country is not peaceful internally in addition to demons' threats. As a result, everything might change. The high-end powers of the top three sects had an absolute advantage over Jinwu Palace. Despite the top three sects couldn't do harm to Jinwu Palace for the time being, it's hard to say in the future.'

As Zhang Tie was crystal clear about the terror of the battle strength of high-end powerhouses, he knew what did it mean when a powerhouse above heavenly knight determined to fight a clan. Additionally, there were more than one such powerhouses facing Jinwu Palace.

On this occasion, Zhang Tie realized that he had made a correct decision to have O'Laura, Sabrina and the other wives and concubines leave Eastern Continent for Ice and Snow Wilderness.

When Zhang Tie came to Dragon Emperor Pavilion this morning, it was a bit gloomy. However, it was not snowing. At noon, the temperature declined sharply again when it started to snow. In the beginning, it was just light snow in the chilly wind. In less than half an hour, the scouther had become fluffy snow. The entire Dragon Emperor City was soon covered with white snow.

Standing by the window of the Dragon Emperor Pavilion, Zhang Tie watched the snow scene with concerns silently.

Meanwhile, the concerns drove Zhang Tie to make a decision in a split second.

'No need to wait anymore; just make it tonight...'

'There're many powerhouses in Dragon Emperor City from all parties. I might have not discovered all the roles; however, what happened before could already push me to the throne of the Dragon Emperor.'

'Thank you, demons; thank you, shadow demons; thank you, the ancestors of shadow demons...'

...

Outside the pavilion, Hong Yukun in fox-fur robe passed the arch door behind the shadow wall outside the pavilion, followed by two maids who were holding umbrellas and servants who were carrying one stove, some drinks and food. The moment Hong Yukun looked up, he had seen Zhang Tie who was standing by the window of the pavilion. Therefore, he hurriedly greeted Zhang Tie with a smile diligently.

"Director, it's snowing and a bit colder. I brought you a stove so that you could warm up in the pavilion..."

Zhang Ti didn't speak; instead, he raised his hand towards Hong Yukun. Hong Yukun then had the two maids and servants send those things in the pavilion. At the same time, Zhang Tie went downstairs.

The charcoal in the stove was burning well without smoke. The moment the stove being covered with delicate patterns was put on the table on the first floor, the whole room had turned warm. Besides, a flagon was put on the table; some simple trays of food were held in a container. As the temperature rose, aroma started to fill the entire room, arousing people's appetite at once.

"You're so kind..." Zhang Tie slowly went downstairs as he appreciated Hong Yukun.

Hong Yukun waved his hand as those maids and servants moved backward and left there, heads down.

Zhang Tie had come to Dragon Emperor Pavilion for almost 9 months. Everyone in Dragon Emperor Pavilion knew Zhang Tie's temperament. Therefore, all the beauties in Dragon Emperor Pavilion gave up going off into wild flights of fancy. After trying for a few times, Hong Yunkun also dared not play the trick of roping in Zhang Tie with beauties anymore.

"Director, I thought you were napping just now; therefore, I didn't have people send them to you at that time. Now, I guess director might be interested in this snow scene; therefore I had people bring drinks and food here. It's nice to enjoy snow scene while drinking. This is the latest rice wine in Dragon Emperor City. When Dragon Emperor was here, it was said that he used to enjoy snow scene while drinking rice wine..." Hong Yukun said with a smile and slightly bowed as if he was a butler.

"With new rice wine and a red-clayed little stove, may I have a cup of drink facing the late snow?" Zhang Tie murmured two stylish lines of a poem, which shocked Hong Yukun in a split second.

"Director, I've long been told that you are a talented scholar and could speak lines at any time. I'm finally convinced today..." Hong Yukun praised with a big smile after being shocked for a second when he showed his reverence to Zhang Tie very much.

"Well, I forgot about it. I remember there was a lot of good wine in the cellar of Dragon Emperor Pavilion. As it's snowing, send some to the military officials and soldiers, waiters and servants so that they could warm up. One flagon for one person."

"Director, there're 13 kinds of wines in the cellar of Dragon Emperor Pavilion. Which wine do you want to gift them?"

Dragon Emperor Pavilion was not a beautiful garden, but the nominal residence of the Dragon Emperor. Although Dragon Emperor had not come back for hundreds of years, there was still a lot of tasteful wine in the cellar of Dragon Emperor Pavilion. Additionally, the new wine would be moved in there annually which carried a trivial hope of Dragon Emperor Pavilion and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. This wine was one of the invisible benefits of Dragon Emperor Pavilion, also the only materials that Zhang Tie could manipulate in Dragon Emperor Pavilion at his discretion.

"Just send them a wine that they could never drink in usual days...let them enjoy too..."

"Let's make it Jade Spirit Pulp then. There're many jars of Jade Spirit Pulp aged above 80 years in the cellar. Even many immortal generals in Dragon Emperor City could not drink it not to mention those common immortal soldiers outside. Additionally, Jade Spirit Pulp aged above 80 years was definitely a rarity. Besides those elders and grand justices who kept some, only Dragon Emperor Pavilion has it across Dragon Emperor Big Domain..." Hong Yukun said after gritting his teeth as he looked at Zhang Tie.

"Okay, quick. By the way, fetch Xu Gang here. Let's enjoy it together..." Zhang Tie sent an order by waving his hand. Hong Yukun hurriedly ran outside. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had heard exclamations across Dragon Emperor Pavilion...
