1612 Returning to (1/2)

Besides failing to accomplish a task requested by His Majesty, Fang Qingming left Iron-Dragon Sect with a puzzle.

Actually, Fang Qingming had prepared well for this task as he had considered well for Zhang Tie. He didn't know that Zhang Tie had wavered his mind for a second because of the condition provided by His Majesty and the scene in the memory crystal. Pitifully, when Zhang Tie closed his eyes and considered it, he further fixed his decision.

Imperial Alliance had their conspiracy and methods. Zhang Tie had his decision and trump cards too.

Imperial Alliance regarded this event of black invitation cards as an opportunity to deal with Zhang Tie; however, Zhang Tie also treated it as a chance to dissolve the threat of the Imperial Alliance.

Through the event of Zhang Taixuan, Zhang Tie had been clear that he had long become sore in the eyes of the Imperial Alliance. He didn't have the way to retreat at all. The contraction between both parties could barely be reconciled. Imperial Alliance had planned to frame Zhang Tie since he got acquainted with His Majesty.

What was intolerant and annoying was that the Imperial Alliance also involved Zhang Tie's family in the case and arranged a piece beside Zhang Tie's elder brother, targeting at their parents. This violated Zhang Tie's bottom line. Given this point alone, Zhang Tie would turn hostile against the Imperial Alliance. Therefore, Zhang Tie just treated the black invitation cards from the three top sects as an excuse and figleaf of Imperial Alliance, which was nothing but sh*t. When powerhouses above heavenly knights were needed to solve the problem, this excuse could be ignored as powerhouses on this level would always regard laws and imperial decrees as waster paper, not to mention unwritten folklore rules. Whereas, since Zhang Tie was too well-known and enjoyed an increasingly higher honor across the country, the Imperial Alliance had to find such an excuse for the sake of the condemnation from the public.

Standing in an attic of Xuantian Peak, Zhang Tie squinted at the airboat disappearing in the skyline, hands back while his tender face revealed some resolute muscular lines.

At this moment, he heard fine footsteps on his back, which were caused by Yan Feiqing, Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi.

”Did you refuse the help of His Majesty?” Yan Feiqing asked Zhang Tie as she heaved a sigh slightly while Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi were watching Zhang Tie with concerns.

Although Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi disliked each other, they didn't make any trouble any more at this moment.

After turning around, Zhang Tie watched the three women while slightly raising his mouth corners, saying, ”Do you think the three top sects would not deal with me after I evade from facing the black invitation cards from them? They would find me trouble whether there are black invitation cards or not. They would fight me for sure no matter whether I choose to confront them this time or not. It's not a matter of black invitation card; but the fundamental conflict of interest between me, Iron-Dragon Sect and the three top sects, which couldn't be reconciled at all. We have to face it!”

”But I think His Majesty's concern is right!” Bai Suxian opened her mouth.

”It's right from his point of view. But it's wrong from my perspective. Do you think that the top three sects have not considered that I might evade from confronting with their black invitation cards?” Zhang Tie shook his head as his eyes turned sharp, and he said, ”The Great Wilderness Sect was much more powerful than Iron-Dragon Sect in South Border; however, it was still exterminated overnight. Although the three top sects look decent verbally, nobody knows how many dirty things have they done secretly. If I treat them as disciplined gentlemen, I would be the No. 1 idiot in this world. In the eyes of the three top sects, there are only life or death and the great plans of their sects. Do you think they would value Taixia laws or black invitation cards? Even if they couldn't fight you aboveboard, they would also find you trouble secretly...”

Zhang Tie's words shocked the three women at the same time.

Yan Feiqing said after being silent for a while, ”But you have time!”
