Chapter 1977: The Leader (I)
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
White clouds were slowly moving in the azure sky which was as clean as a mirror. A golden airboat longer than 7,000 m was flying in the sky at a low speed like a huge whale. The shadow of the huge airboat was like that of a cloud. With the movement of the airboat, its huge shadow passed by those hillsides, rivers, villages and cities, causing numerous people to look up at the sky with awestruck exclamations inside...
Those who were familiar with Taixia Country knew that airboats in Taixia Country were basically divided into three levels given their sizes, namely cyancloud level, purplecloud level and heavenlycloud level. According to strict regulation, different levels of airboats were exclusive to different people. Cyancloud level airboats were exclusive to provincial governors and those on the same level. Many major clans had cyancloud level airboats. Purplecloud level airboats were exclusive to ministers, which were usually taken by the 9 high-level ministers of Taixia Country and could be seen in some major sects and clans in Taixia Country. Heavenlycloud level airboats were exclusive to three counselors and six lords or some talents being deeply appreciated by the emperor. In Taixia Country, there were very few heavenlycloud level airboats. However, the longest one among the three levels of airboats was less than 5,000 m. Across Taixia Country, only one kind of airboat could be longer than 7,000 m——Xuanyuan Level airboats.
Xuanyuan level airboats were exclusive to imperial households of Taixia Country. It belonged to ritual vessels. Generally, only Xuanyuan Emperor could take Xuanxuan level airboat when he was making an inspection tour across the country so as to manifest the dignity of imperial households. Crown prince and the other princes could only take Xuanyuan level airboats in special cases. Besides, someone who was invited and treated in the most solemn of ceremony by the imperial households of Taixia Country could also take Xuanyuan level airboats. However, very few people could receive such a great treatment since the founding of Taixia Country.
At this moment, there were four heavenly level airboats being marked with the emblems of the top four armies of Taixia Country were opening a path ahead of the Xuanyuan level airboat. On both sides and the back of this Xuanyuan level airboat, there were 36 purplecloud level airboats. Therefore, it was like a huge pair of feathered wings crossing the skyline.
In the periphery of these 36 purplecloud level airboats, it was a huge double-wing formation composed of over 2,000 airplanes driven by air cavalries in Taixia Country who were escorting the Xuanyuan level airboat.
As one of the 9 big immortal provinces in Taixia Country, Pingzhou was grossly prosperous. In normal times, it was bustling in the air zone of Pingzhou Province as many airboats and airships were accessing to this air zone. However, it was very clean in this air zone today. Besides this Xuanyuan level airboat’s fleet and those air cavalries, no more airboats or aircraft could be seen in that air zone.
The air zone of Pingzhou Province had already carried out air control today.
When the Xuanyuan level airboat entered Enping Prefecture in Pingzhou Province, although the other airboats were still flying at a low speed, those escorting air cavalries were reluctant to transfer the escort mission to their colleagues who had already set off Enping Prefecture.
The air cavalries in Enping Prefecture couldn’t wait to drive over 2,000 airplanes and join the glorious escort mission. For a few hours’ accompanying flights today, over 2,000 air cavalries were selected from millions of air cavalries in Enping Prefecture and had accepted over one month’s tough training.
When the Xuanyuan level airboat left Youzhou Province, it meant the start of a glorious and great review for those air cavalries across Taixia Country. Those being selected to join the escort mission would be admired by people. Those airboats didn’t need to stay; however, air cavalries would change one batch after another. The Xuanyuan level airboat had already been escorted all the way from Youzhou Province to Pingzhou Province and would go to Xuanyuan Hill in the end.
...
Standing on the observation deck on the top of the Xuanyuan level airboat, hands behind his back, Zhang Tie was watching the ground moving slowly under his foot. Standing next to Zhang Tie, Bian Heng the Yama was watching the scenery on the ground with great interest and the escorting airplanes in the distance.
As for a person who came to the main world from Motian Realm, he wouldn’t be fed up with the scenery in Taixia Country even if he kept on watching it for one more year.
Bian Heng was still Bian Heng, however, he got a more special identity——employed elder of Jinwu Palace.
When Zhang Tie destroyed the three major camps of demons, he had already invited Bian Heng to come out of Castle of Black Iron so that they could go back to Youzhou Province together.
Except for Zhang Tie, nobody else knew the background of Bian Heng. Zhang Tie only introduced Bian Heng’s name and his current identity as the employed elder of Jinwu Palace to the public; nothing else.
Now that Zhang Tie didn’t want to expose more information about Bian Heng, of course, nobody would ask him about that.
Besides Bian Heng, his old lover in Motian Realm also came to Taixia Country with him. The cross-realm flower that Zhang Tie gifted to Bian Heng was eaten by his old lover.
Of course, now that she could win the favor of Bian Heng the Yama, this woman was not average. Bian Heng’s old lover was Jiang Mingyue. As a sage-level knight, she was known as Woods Goddess in Motian Realm. Additionally, she was a founder and grandmaster of Woods Sect, a major clan in Motian Realm.
Given their names, Yama and Goddess, they were a perfect match. As for how they fell in love with each other, Zhang Tie didn’t care. He only cared that Bian Heng brought another employed elder to Jinwu Palace apart from himself.
Therefore, there were two sage-level knights among the employed elders of Jinwu Palace.
In the past months, Bian Heng lived up to the expectation of so many people and cured Yun Zhongzi’s disease. Yan Feiqing, who had long promoted to a semi-sage level knight, also promoted to a sage with Zhang Tie’s help.
Zhang Tie brought back 2 sage-level employed elders; Yun Zhongzi’s disease was cured; Yan Feiqing promoted to a sage-level knight. In only a few days, Zhang Tie had got 4 sage-level knights on his side. Plus him, the power of Jinwu Palace was already overwhelming.
