The lake in the wilderness was in Yezhou Province, which was a barren province in the western border of Taixia Country. The realm of the disaster was in the west of Yezhou Province. After a few cities in Yezhou Province were collapsed, this province had already become demon"s territory or the territory of the puppet regime founded by the remnants of Heavens Reaching Church.

Even when Yezhou was not collapsed, very few people could be seen in the wilderness of this province, not to mention now.

Under bright moonlight and spa.r.s.e starlight, besides sparkling waves within 100 miles over the lake, twittering insects in the wilderness alongside the lake and some wild beasts that would always hide by day and come out by night, n.o.body else could be seen in the surroundings, not to mention any demon.

‘What a pity!" Zhang Tie sighed inside.

If that heavenly demon knight was still waiting for them outside there, Zhang Tie and Yan Feiqing had 70% possibility to kill it or capture it alive. Pitifully, it was not there. Therefore, they couldn"t even find some demons to test their promotion in cultivation base.

“Qing"er, where are you going?”

After standing still in the air and looking around for a few seconds, Zhang Tie asked Yan Feiqing.

“I"m going back to Fantasy Women Palace, Cloudy Dream Mountain, Wuzhou Province!”

“You"re going back to Fantasy Women Palace?” Zhang Tie became a bit amazed as he thought that Yan Feiqing would stay in the theater of operations for a few more days.

“Yup, 2 months later, I have to attend an appointed fight. I need to prepare for it…”

“Who"s that blind? How dare he offend my Qing"er? I will go deal with him together with you…” Zhang Tie said with an exaggerated expression on purpose.

Yan Feiqing then replied with a smile while covering her mouth by hand, “It"s between women. Hubby doesn"t need to go there. I will go there alone. It"s Zhu Qianqian, one of the 4 elders of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who appointed a fight with me. 10 years ago, the disciples of Fantasy Women Palace and Zhu Qianqian bore grudges against each other after going downhill. She and I then opted to have a fight 10 years later to end up this enmity. I was here to kill demons in the theater of operations so as to sharpen my battle strength and further improve my cultivation base…”

‘Zhu Qianqian?"

The moment Zhang Tie heard this name, he had felt being a bit familiar with it. He then remembered that this woman was Huaiyuan Palace"s reliance in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. She might even be Lan Yunxi"s master.

‘My G.o.d, what a coincidence!"

Zhang Tie suddenly felt his head swollen.

“Hubby, what"s wrong? Are you acquainted with Zhu Qianqian?” Yan Feiqing"s voice turned strange as she looked at Zhang Tie with a special, dubious eye light that would especially be possessed by women.

“Don"t think too much!” Zhang Tie rubbed her raised b.u.t.t twice as he said, “I"ve not seen Zhu Qianqian. But an elder of Huaiyuan Palace told me that Zhu Qianqian is closely related to Huaiyuan Palace. She"s even an old friend of Lord Huaiyuan…ahem…ahem…a disciple of Huaiyuan Place is even learning from Zhu Qianqian. I remember that Zhu Qianqian is still a shadow knight…”

“10 years ago, Zhu Qianqian reached 5 change realm of shadow knight. Even if she had entered the Dongtian of Taiyi Fantasy Sec for cultivation, she would not reach 8 change realm of shadow knight in one decade!” Yan Feiqing then added with a smile, “Now that Zhu Qianqian has a close relations.h.i.+p with Huaiyuan Palace and hubby is the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace, I will not make her too embarra.s.sed in the fight…”

“That"s great. That"s great…” Zhang Tie let out a sigh of relief at once.

“Zhu Qianqian only recruits female disciples like how I do. I wonder about the name of Zhu Qianqian"s disciple from Huaiyuan Palace. She might bring her disciples to watch the fight between us. By then, I will watch out in case of hurting that disciple…” Yan Feiqing asked casually.

Soon after Zhang Tie recovered his composure, Yan Feiqing"s question had made his heart race. He could only reply with a solemn look, “Zhu Qianqian"s disciple from Huaiyuan Palace is the daughter of Longwind Count called Lan Yunxi!”

“Although I don"t need hubby"s a.s.sistance in the appointed fight, welcome to watch it if you like…”

“Ahem…ahem…no need. As it"s between women, men would better not interfere with it. Additionally, I"m now serving as the Weiji General of the theater of operations and have not cared about public affairs for months. There should be a lot of public affairs in Kangzhou City to deal with. Therefore, I"m afraid that I will have no time to watch that…”

As Zhang Tie explained, even he felt that was a poor excuse. However, he had to be decisive in this case. Even if he wanted to see Lan Yunxi, it shouldn"t be in the fight between Yan Feiqing and Zhu Qianqian. That would be a catastrophe for him if Lan Yunxi found that Zhang Tie"s wife defeated her master…

Yan Feiqing kept gazing at Zhang Tie"s face with brilliant eye light. Not until Zhang Tie felt a bit embarra.s.sed did she reveal a sudden smile, “Now that hubby is busy with public affairs, you don"t have to go there. If hubby is going back to Kangzhou City, I could give you a ride…”

“Sure, thanks, wife…” Zhang Tie had no other choice but to agree with her suggestion. Actually, he still wanted to loaf around the theater of operations for some days; now that he had already said it, he should not regret whatsoever.

Yan Feiqing then pulled Zhang Tie"s hand. In the blink of an eye, the virtual image of Fantasy Woman Heavens-Breaking Boat had covered the two people.

Although the virtual image was only 10 m longer, it had already turned into a golden shuttle from a silver one after she promoted to a heavenly knight. Additionally, there were two fairies looming on both sides of her virtual image while their skirts and waistbelts were flying in the sky. Even Zhang Tie clicked his tongue in wonder…

The golden shuttle broke the skyline and flew towards east like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it had reached over 6 times the speed of sound. It was a sharp increase compared to when she was a shadow knight. Even ordinary heavenly knights couldn"t fly as fast as her.

On the way, Yan Feiqing and Zhang Tie met some teams of demon knights; however, as the golden shuttle moved so fast that it had flown far away before those demon knights responded to it…

Because there was more than one heavenly demon knight in the theater of operations, Yan Feiqing made a detour around the core region of demons which might exist high-level demon knights and dodged away from the eastern marching route of demon corps. After pa.s.sing by Yezhou Province and Wuzhou Province, they soon come to the border between Huanzhou Province and Wuzhou Province…

Fortunately, they were not intercepted by heavenly demon knights on the way here. However, when they were about 500 miles away from Helan Mountain Range, Zhang Tie saw a huge air battlefortress moving horizontally nearby Xuanyuan Fortress as if they had already discovered Yan Feiqing and were going to intercept her. However, when Yan Feiqing released a brilliant light towards the sky and shone the stars in the sky, a virtual image of the fairy appeared in the sky. Although the process only lasted for 2 seconds, the air battlefortress stopped its horizontal movement at once as it gave way to them…

…

Before daybreak, after a golden shuttle flashed by the air territory of Kangzhou City, Zhang Tie descended from the sky and appeared in the back garden of the Kangzhou Provincial Farming Administration…

A team of bodyguards, which was making an inspection tour in there, instantly surrounded him. After seeing clearly the one who declined, all the bodyguards knelt down as they greeted in unison, “General…”
