1505 Zhang Ties Vengeance (1/2)
At dusk, the shrine palace of Huaiyuan Palace in Embracing Tiger Mountain, Embracing Tiger City...
When Zhang Tie's airboat arrived at Embracing Tiger Mountain, the sun was going to set. On the top of Embracing Tiger Mountain, one could see a pretty beautiful scenery——dense sunglow gradually sunk in the sea level.
The Embracing Tiger Mountain appeared pretty majestic in the sunset; especially the shrine palace of Huaiyuan Palace. In the afterglow of the sunset, the three characters Huaiyuan Palace above the gate of Shrine Palace appeared especially magnificent.
The afterglow gradually moved to the top of the gate of the shrine palace from the square outside the shrine palace, and finally went to the golden glazed tiles and auspicious beasts on the eaves of the shrine palace.
Before the afterglow moved away from the row of auspicious beasts on the top of the shrine palace, bronze cauldrons being filled with whale oil had been lit inside the shrine palace and over the square. The light inside the cauldrons brightened up the entire shrine palace.
”Elder Mushen...”, two clan deacons had come over here to greet Zhang Tie the moment he got off the airboat which was suspending above the square outside the shrine palace.
Zhang Tie came here alone, even without the accompany of Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing. He wanted to meet Zhang Taixuan alone.
”Has clan head arrived?” Zhang Tie asked calmly when he threw a glance at the two deacons.
”Yes, clan head has already arrived. He's waiting for Elder Mushen in the shrine palace!” a clan deacon answered respectfully.
”Deliver my order. Nobody else is allowed to approach the shrine palace tonight without my consent. I would negotiate with the clan head tonight. Anyone dared violate my order would be beheaded!” Zhang Tie said before walking towards the gate of the shrine palace.
”Yes, Elder Mushen!” the two clan deacons exchanged a glance with each other as they both felt Elder Mushen's faint, shrill tone. Hearts pounding, they became quiet at once.
After Zhang Tie entered the shrine palace, the gate of the shrine palace had been closed from outside.
Zhang Taixuan was standing in front of the statue of Lord Huaiyuan as he watched Zhang Tie coming in with a solemn look, eyes squinting.
”I've heard about Miss Ma's death. What a pity! However, now that your beloved one is already deceased, Elder Mushen, you'd better not be too grieved...” Zhang Taixuan comforted Zhang Tie.
Hearing Zhang Taixuan's words, Zhang Tie didn't reply at once; instead, he just walked to the front of the statue of Lord Huaiyuan. After looking up at the heroic statue, he lit 3 incenses and bowed towards it before inserting them into the censer. After that, he turned around and told Zhang Taixuan, ”Indeed, I would like to pay anything I could to save her if possible; if not, we could merely do something to soothe the deceased!”
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, a sagacious light flashed across Zhang Taixuan's eyes. Closely after that, Zhang Taixuan turned serious as he said, ”You're right, Elder Mushen. We shouldn't call it an end. I've already used 10 million gold coins to reward people who could catch those escaping members of Huang Clan, Mercury Palace, Qizhou Province and Qitian Sect; additionally, I've assigned some corps of elites to look for clues in Qizhou Province!”
