Chapter 1697: Detention

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

At night, Supervision Department, Dragon Emperor City.

Elder Xiang who was in charge of Supervision Department of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was listening to the report of a trusted subordinate in an attic.

“You mean...those battle qi smokes didn’t arouse any trouble?”

As one of the five elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Elder Xia Yangming had grey hair and black eyebrows, who didn’t look old. At this moment, he was sipping a simple green porridge as supper when he asked what happened just now calmly.

“Those immortal generals who released battle qi smokes were all fresh. They were all shocked by Zhang Tie at that moment. Although they had released their battle qi smokes, they dared not approach Zhang Tie at all; neither did Zhang Tie continue to find them trouble. When our men arrived there, they were fine...” a person replied. As the trusted subordinate of Elder Xia, he was in a black robe with a golden dragon pattern of two threads at his wristbands. Given his costume, he could almost be unrivaled in Dragon Emperor Big Domain.

“It’s Dragon Emperor City, how dare they release battle qi smokes here?” Xia Yangming said as he sipped his porridge without even looking up, “Fresh immortal generals are too silly and reckless. They need practice. How do you plan to deal with them...”

“As those immortal generals have just joined Immortal Generals Department and were with the disciples of Elder Shi at that moment, this humble man especially came here for your order.”

“Hmm, given Immortal Generals Department and Elder Shi, don’t make those immortal generals who released battle qi smokes embarrassed. Just put them in jail for a week and set them free...”

“Yes, sir!”

“Oh, and you said that man called...Zhang Tie...it sounds familiar...”

“Elder, as you hear a lot of new immortal generals a day, you might not remember it. Zhang Tie is the same person that Huang Baimei recommended to you before he left...”

“The same person?” Xia Yangming slowed down his movement as he looked up, asking out of amazement.

“Yes, the same person. He’s just joined the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City for a short period of time. Previously, elder arranged me to meet him in Flyingdragon Manor tomorrow; it seems that I don’t need to go there now...” the subordinate immortal general said with a smile.

“Hoho, this man is funny. He’s bold and has great battle strength. He even sent a water immortal general flying away and defeated two earth immortal generals in the blink of an eye! Not bad!”

“Mainly because those people didn’t imagine that Zhang Tie could attack them. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to defeat one water immortal general and two earth immortal generals. The water immortal general who was sent flying away had just been roped in by Elder Shi. That person is fine. He was just sent flying away by Zhang Tie’s great physical strength...” the reporter said as he asked in a low voice after a short silence, “I wonder how will you deal with Zhang Tie?”

“Deal with? Why?” Elder Xia who was in charge of Supervision Department of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace put down his green porridge as he asked meaningfully.

“But Elder Shi...”

“No matter how Elder Shi thinks about it, he could not make Zhang Tie embarrassed in the public. By contrast, his disciple would be condemned for real...”

The reporter became stunned for a second as he replied, “Ahh? But why...”

“In Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, earth immortal general who’s not in charge of supervision is never allowed to offend a water immortal general. Zhang Tie’s slap is not bad. If Elder Shi is not silly enough, he would not speak for his disciple on this issue. No matter what, he has to bear it!”

“I see, so we set Zhang free then...”

“How do we punish immortal generals when they start a brawl in Dragon Emperor City?”

“It depends. Put him in jail for 3 days at least or punish him to death in the worst scenario!”

“Put him in jail for 3 days then!” Elder Xia said calmly as he added, “Three days later, go meet him and ask whether does he want to join Supervision Department or not!”

“Ahh, patrolling inspector?”

“No, the supervisor of Dragon Emperor Pavilion!” Elder Xia replied as he took a look at the subordinate, repeating, “Supervisor of Dragon Emperor Pavilion!”

“Supervisor of Dragon Emperor Pavilion?” The reporter confirmed it with a dumbfounded look as this title was too humble instead of being too senior and profitable. He had not imagined that Elder Xia could arrange some a humble title to Zhang Tie as he appreciated Zhang Tie so much just now.

“We should consider the feeling of Elder Shi. Don’t pour oil on the fire. Zhang Tie is a bit wild. He doesn’t even care about the disciples of Elder Shi. After being honed, he would become useful for us in the future!”

“I see. But what if Zhang Tie doesn’t agree...”

“He doesn’t have a say in it. If he dislikes, I will send a transfer order to him. Now, who else would like to offend Immortal Generals Department for him except us?”

“There’s one more thing...”

“Please go ahead, elder...”

As a shrewd light flashed across Elder Xia’s eyes, he said, “Go through Zhou Baifei’s background...”

...

The prison of Supervision Department was not as wet and dark as Zhang Tie could imagine; instead, it was pretty clean.

When he was brought here by some immortal generals of the Supervision Department, Zhang Tie didn’t oppose them; instead, he coordinated with them pretty well. Five fierce immortal generals were also put in the same jail right beside Zhang Tie’s cell.

When those immortal generals left, Zhang Tie immediately sat on the bed with crossed feet as he started to extend his spiritual energy into the sky limitlessly, trying to gather the two bizarre energies in the void as fast as possible.

Starting from Heavenly Square City, Zhang Tie had made great progress with constant efforts and found the secret to improve this ability. As a result, he could gather the two energies in the void at an increasingly higher speed.

In the beginning, it would take Zhang Tie 10 minutes to gather the two bizarre energies and made them as powerful as the most powerful kinetic strike that he could launch; now, he only needed five minutes. However, it was not Zhang Tie’s ultimate target. Zhang Tie intended to accomplish this process in a few seconds. He’d better complete it in a split second. Given the equivalent power, if it would take him a long time to gather the two energies in the void than to release his kinetic strike, it would be meaningless for him.

As long as he could realize it, he would study how to use it in real combat. Zhang Tie had already got some preliminary plans about applying it in real combats. However, he still needed to further explore it...

Three days passed while Zhang Tie was in silent cultivation...
