Castle of Black Iron
chapter-1832

When Bian Heng set needles for him, Zhang Tie’s mind was occupied with that moment when the spike shrimp launched a fatal strike. It aroused an unprecedented palpitation deep in Zhang Tie’s heart. Therefore, Zhang Tie just chatted with Bian Heng absent-mindedly. Bian Heng appeared to have a load in his mind as he just set needles for Zhang Tie with a frown.

“Starting from tomorrow, I have to leave Tigerback Mountain for a period which varies from one week to half a month. During this period, I won’t be carrying out medical treatment for you anymore. You could make your arrangement freely!” When Bian Heng almost finished his job, he warned Zhang Tie.

After hearing Bian Heng’s words, Zhang Tie was shocked as he uttered, “Ah? You’re going to leave Tigerback Mountain? What for? Do you need my help?”

“Glad that you remember that you’re my butler!” Bian Heng replied with a cold harrumph as he added, “But you cannot help me, I have to do it myself!”

“It must be something very important!”

“Star Emperor Immortal Palace got a sample of Golden-Soul Runed Virus. They’ve already sent it to Emperor NvWa’s Palace and wanted to have Emperor NvWa work out the therapy for detoxifying Golden-Soul Rune Virus. In the worst case scenario, we should find a solution to detect Golden-Soul Runed Virus. Emperor NvWa’s Palace had already invited many powers who are proficient in runes, medicinal pills, medical skills and secret skills to negotiate the countermeasures together. Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace have assigned powers to Emperor NvWa’s Palace too. Golden-Soul Rune Virus might have a connection with demons. This event is concerned about the safety of humans in Motian Realm. Now that Emperor NvWa’s Palace invited me, I have to go there…”

Bian Heng was modest by using the word “proficient”. All the powers that could be invited by Emperor NvWa’s Palace might be on the same level as Bian Heng. They were definitely top moguls or masters in each industry. Many of them were living somewhere in Emperor NvWa City just like Bian Heng.

“Ah? Golden-Soul Rune Virus?” Zhang Tie uttered, mouth agape as he had not imagined that Star Emperor Immortal Palace was able to get a sample of Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Zhang Tie really admired Star Emperor Immortal Palace’s tricks.

“You know about Golden-Soul Rune Virus?”

“Of course!” Zhang Tie replied casually. Closely after that, he asked Bian Heng out of curiosity, “How did Star Emperor Immortal Palace get the sample of Golden-Soul Rune Virus?”

“I don’t know. It’s said that Star Emperor made it himself. When he discovered a mole of Star Emperor Immortal Palace in Star Emperor Immortal Palace, he chopped off his head; meanwhile, he froze his head in a secret method. Therefore, that head didn’t explode itself. It contained a complete sample of Golden-Soul Runed Virus…”

When he thought about Star Emperor’s unpredicted tricks, Zhang Tie admired him very much.

To be honest, Zhang Tie had some complete samples of Golden-Soul Rune Virus which had not been used yet. He almost wanted to gift some to Bian Heng for study. However, he instantly closed his mouth due to reason.

If Zhang Tie took out the samples of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, his identity and many secrets would be exposed to the public. Smart ones could know a lot of information about him. Therefore, Even though he wanted to gift it to Bian Heng, he had to choose the right moment. Now that Emperor NvWa’s Palace had already got one sample, Zhang Tie would not present those samples of Golden-Soul Rune Virus for the time being.

“Master, take care of yourself!” Zhang Tie sighed as he added, “I could tell you that Golden-Soul Rune Virus definitely belongs to Demons. Because I’ve discovered that Versatile Demon Emperor was Dark Emperor of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, Versatile Demon Emperor wanted to kill me. Golden-Soul Rune Virus was produced by Versatile Demon Emperor. After killing Rune Emperor, Versatile Demon Emperor acquired the Tadpole Rune Sutra of Runed Emperor. He then developed Golden-Soul Runed Virus by combining a rune skill in Tadpole Rune Sutra with a demon puppet worm which could control one’s brain. To put it simply, Golden-Soul Rune Virus is used to control one’s brain and awareness in terms of a rune puppet worm in a rune skill!”

Bian Heng watched Zhang Tie with great shock. Although he knew that Zhang Tie’s identity was special, he was still shocked by Zhang Tie’s words——Across Motian Realm, even top forces such as the two emperor-level immortal palaces and Emperor NvWa’s Palace didn’t know anything about Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Therefore, Zhang Tie’s intelligence was definitely strategic. The source and manufacturing principle of Golden-Soul Rune Virus is invaluable.

“What’s puppet worm then?” Bian Heng asked Zhang Tie as he stopped his hand unconsciously.

“Puppet worm is a kind of insect. The parent puppet worm is like a cocoon. However, it’s much bigger than a cocoon. At least as large as a sea cucumber!” Zhang Tie made a hand gesture as he added, “The parent puppet worm could lay numerous eggs a day which could barely be seen by naked eyes. As long as the eggs enter one’s body, it would come to one’s brain through blood circulation and lurk in one’s brain like a parasite. Then, it will grow up there. In this process, the host couldn’t sense its existence. When those eggs become mature, their hosts would die. Meanwhile, the mature puppet worm would control that dead body to kill people everywhere without feeling painful. When the parent puppet worm suddenly dies, the larvae will become mature all of a sudden. After killing their hosts, they would become very berserk and lose control…” Zhang Tie told Bian Heng about the features of puppet worms that he had learned. He also hoped that Emperor NvWa’s Palace could find a way to restrict or detect Golden-Soul Rune Virus. “Master, when you listen to me, don’t stop it, I’m still suffering…”

Bian Heng then continued to set his needles as he asked, “How do you know that?”

“Have you forgotten where I came from? In my world, demons created a lot of troubles using puppet worms…”

“If one controls the parent puppet worm, could one control those walking dead’s through the parent puppet worm?”

“You got me. Remember that, don’t expose the information to anyone else; especially those immortal emperors or demon emperors. If they know it’s me who told you about that, they would know my real identity the moment they see me…”

“Humph, what kind of person do you think I am?” Bian Heng replied with a cold harrumph as he took a look at Zhang Tie, “Now that you knew that, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Zhang Tie instantly complained, “Look at me, how weak I am! I was almost killed by Versatile Demon Emperor for the sake of righteousness of humans, and I am still being chased by Versatile Demon Emperor. I’m still receiving medical treatment now. Who do I talk to? If I told ordinary people about that, who would believe me? If Star Emperor and Force Emperor saw me, what if they sliced me into pieces?”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s explanation, Bian Heng became quiet with a frown. Looking up at the roof, he recalled the contents that Zhang Tie exposed to him seriously as he mumbled Tadpole Rune Sutra and puppet worm…

“Ah…” Zhang Tie uttered a shrill cry all of a sudden.

Bian Heng lowered his head as he found that he set a needle in the wrong place when he was absent-minded just now. It penetrated through Zhang Tie’s short pants and stood on one of Zhang Tie’s testicles, causing Zhang Tie’s face dreadfully pale in a split second…

“Ah, sorry. I was absent-minded just now. I had already stopped. But you made me continue. Look, something is wrong…” Bian Heng blamed Zhang Tie first before drawing out that long needle and setting it in the right place.

“Bro, watch out. You could have almost killed me. What you’re doing is concerned with my life. If I died, it would ruin your reputation…” Zhang Tie yelled.

“Humph…” Bian Heng replied as he picked another needle and stared at Zhang Tie. Meanwhile, he looked a bit gloomy.

“Well, forget about that; forget about that. Continue, continue…” Zhang Tie hurriedly replied with a smile in case that Bian Heng made another mistake by inserting his needle into his another egg. Although he had already eaten 10 King Kong fruits, if Bian Heng really made another mistake, the effect of the 10 King Kong fruits could withstand the power of the sage-level knight.

When Bian Heng collected all the needles, Zhang Tie felt being burned all over. He then instantly sprung up and jumped out of Tideviewing Courtyard. In a split second, he had rushed into the ocean and disappeared.

“Brat…” Bian Heng cursed as he closed his case and left there. When Bian Heng walked out of the backroom and looked back, Zhang Tie had long disappeared on the beach…

…

When he returned back to the cave at the bottom of the ocean and soaked himself in icy fluid quietly, Zhang Tie’s mind was occupied with that spike shrimp’s image once again.

The period of over 10 hours was very tough. On second early morning, Zhang Tie rushed out of the cave the moment the heat in his body dissipated…

Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had come to a shallow sea of Whitedragon Gulf. Some fishing boats were casting nets in the waters. There were many coral reefs at the bottom of this shallow area, where lived many spike shrimps…
