    Zhang Tie was also startled when he saw Elder Murray rushing toward him, directly engaging in close combat with the knights and starting a bayonet fight.  [

    Elder Murray was very fast, but Zhang Tie was not slow either. After avoiding Elder Murray's first blow, he retreated 300 meters away.

    "Did Elder Moon forget to treat me to a drink of the best wild spring from the Eastern Continent on the airship outside Tianhan City? Didn't I think it was sweet enough and wanted to put sugar in it?" Elder Murray was furious at this moment, Zhang Tie  He didn't have time to explain to him, but while avoiding Elder Murray's attack, he yelled at Elder Munn who was still looking surprised.

    ¡°This incident, only two people were present at the time, was also the personal experience of two people. What¡¯s more, it was just such a small detail while drinking tea, and the possibility that other people would know about it was very low.

    "Brother Murray, wait a minute!"

    As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking, Elder Munn's expression changed, his body transformed into a stream of light, and he rushed directly in front of Elder Murray to hold him back.

    In just one sentence, Zhang Tie avoided three more attacks from Elder Murray without fighting back.

    Zhang Tie felt that in terms of close combat, Elder Murray was only slightly stronger than the knight who was chasing him. What was truly terrifying about Elder Murray was his brilliant longbow.  Suitable for distant combat.

    "Do you also believe that this person is Zhang Tie?" The angry elder Murray's face turned completely purple, looking very powerful, "How can Zhang Tie become a knight? This person dares to use such a method to come to my Huaiyuan  If you cause trouble in the hall, you are clearly mocking me for being unmanned in Huaiyuan Hall!"

    "The scene that Zhang Tie and I wanted to meet outside Tianhan City a few years ago. It is difficult for outsiders to know the details of drinking tea!" Elder Zhang of Munn looked at Elder Murray with a serious face.

    "But it's not completely impossible. There are some secret techniques. Soul searching and reading are easy. If Zhang Tie falls into the hands of the demons, it wouldn't be surprising if the demons know these details" Although Elder Murray said  But the movements of his hands slowed down.

    "If this person is really Shadow Demon in disguise, we will work together to kill him later. It will only take a moment. He won't be able to run away!"

    Hearing what Elder Munn said, Elder Murray finally stopped, but still looked at Zhang Tie with angry eyes.  He seemed to want to see what tricks this guy disguised as Shadow Demon could do.

    Zhang Tie also stood up again in the sky with a distance of fifty meters between the two people.

    "You said you are Zhang Tie, what proof do you have?" Elder Moon asked Zhang Tie in a calm tone.

    Zhang Tie smiled and said, "Elder Murray, have you forgotten? Didn't I use the bloodline crystal to verify my identity once in the Zongren Pavilion's Ancestral Vein Hall? Whatever I said at the moment, both elders thought it might be fake.  "Well, it's better to take another test. I can continue to wait here while the two elders go to get the blood crystal. I can also go to the Zongren Hall with the two elders. It's not far anyway!" Zhang Tie pointed at his feet!  The location of the Zongren Pavilion.

    Hearing what Zhang Tie said, even the angry Elder Murray was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Tie to be so straightforward.  If Zhang Tie is really a fake, how can he be so confident?  You must know that under the bloodline crystal, no matter what conspiracy or disguise, the shadow demon can turn into Zhang Tie's appearance, and even some secret methods can let others know Zhang Tie's memory, but the bloodline inheritance is not accessible to anyone.  None can be counterfeited.

    The two elders glanced at each other and nodded slightly in tacit understanding. Then the two elders said nothing. Elder Murray stayed here, and Elder Munn turned around and turned into a stream of light, flying towards the Zongren Pavilion.  Going over, at the speed of the knight, the round trip only took two or three minutes. Even if Zhang Tie was the Demon Commander, Elder Moon did not believe that Elder Murray could not last even two or three minutes.

    As soon as Elder Mu En left, looking at Zhang Tie's calm and composed manner waiting for Elder Mu En to come back, Elder Murray finally couldn't stand it any longer. He looked at Zhang Tie with doubtful eyes, "Are youreally Zhang Tie?  "

    Zhang Tie sighed and looked at Elder Murray calmly, "Elder Murray and I met for the first time in Zumai Pavilion. We each had our own persistence that time, and the result was a bit unpleasant. But last time outside the city of Ampton,  I was being chased by the demon knights, and Elder Murray rushed to my rescue. In the critical moment, Elder Murray's roar was like fire and thunder, but it also let me know the concern Elder Murray had for me.  I would like to thank Elder Murray again!"

    After speaking, Zhang Tie bowed deeply to Elder Murray again.

    Zhang Tie did not say anything about Elder Murray's killing of the head of the Senel family. He was not around at that time. If he told it, it would be unexplainable and make people suspicious. Instead of doing this, it would be better to bury the matter.  It feels better in my own mind.

    Hearing Zhang Tie accurately say these two things, MuThe elder's snow-white long eyebrows trembled, and the tense and sharp aura of his whole body suddenly slowed down by half.

    "I know what Elder Murray is suspecting. I was being chased by demon knights. Before Elder Murray could arrive, I was forced to flee into the Earthly River. The channels in the Earthly River were extremely complicated. Fortunately, I  I had developed strong water skills on Qianlong Island and earned myself some vitality in the Nadi River. However, I was finally swept away by the water of the Nadi River and taken to an underground space. In that underground space,  After some adventure, I was promoted to knight in just one month!"

    A hint of emotion appeared on Elder Murray's face, and before Elder Murray could say anything, Elder Moon's figure had already soared into the sky from the sect pavilion under their feet and returned here again.

    What Elder Moon held in his hand was a piece of blood crystal.

    Elder Mun En, who came back, didn¡¯t say much and threw the bloodline crystal directly to Zhang Tie, ¡°Since you have already used it, you should know how to use it!¡±

    Zhang Tie looked at the crystal in his hand that exuded a kind of blurred brilliance, with a ball of red blood rolling in the middle. He didn't say much, and just stood in front of the two elders.  While watching, he pricked his finger with the tip of the crystal, letting a few drops of his blood fall on the crystal.

    Zhang Tie's blood was absorbed by the crystal, and when it met the red blood in the crystal.  The red light of the bloodline crystal shines brightly, illuminating the surrounding sky hundreds of meters like sunset, and not only that.  The crystal seemed to have no weight at all, floating in the sky.

    The red light of the crystal shows that the person in front of him is of the bloodline of Duke Huaiyuan, and the fact that the crystal can float means that the drop of blood dripping into the crystal is already the true blood flowing from the knight.

    Seeing this scene, Elder Moon and Elder Murray were both surprised and happy.

    Seeing the red light emitted by the blood crystal has attracted the attention of some people below.  Elder Mun En waved his sleeves and put away the blood crystal, "Let's go. Return to the ancestral hall first!"

    Zhang Tie followed the two elders and flew directly towards the ancestral hall of Huaiyuantang below.

    This was Zhang Tie¡¯s first time visiting a place like the ancestral hall. He followed the two elders to the terrace outside the ancestral hall, and then walked into a magnificent hall.

    The end of the hall.  There is a huge metal statue.  It is more than 20 meters high. A man is holding a bow and shooting. The arrow is pointed directly at the door of the hall. It is extremely powerful. There are huge pillars dozens of meters high that can only be hugged by several people. Several huge pillars are everywhere in the hall.  Purple gold and copper tripods are placed in several corners of the hall, burning a special kind of whale oil. When the oil burns.  There is no smoke, but there is something strange.  The calming fragrance, the power, wealth and family heritage of Huaiyuantang are all displayed in this hall.

    As soon as Zhang Tie saw the words Huaiyuantang on the huge metal statue, he knew that this person was Zhang Huaiyuan, the founder of Huaiyuantang, and his direct ancestor.

    At the foot of the huge statue of Duke Huaiyuan, there is another staircase.  From high to low, from top to bottom, there are long rows of spiritual tablets. All the spiritual tablets add up to tens of thousands, divided into more than twenty rows.  Standing neatly and solemnly at the feet of the giant.  At the bottom of these spiritual tablets, there is an altar, and in the center of the altar, there is a piece nearly one meter high.  A huge black crystal that is so transparent that there is no trace of impurities.

    Everything here is very solemn.

    When he saw the ancestors¡¯ tablets and statues in Huaiyuan Hall, Zhang Tie didn¡¯t say much. When he saw the incense and burners on the altar in front of the memorial tablets, he walked directly there, picked up three incense sticks, and lit them.

    "Zhang Tie, a disciple of Huaiyuan Hall, pays homage to all the ancestors and heroes today. He hopes that the spirits of all the ancestors in heaven can protect my Huaiyuan Hall's prosperity and continuous bloodline, and protect my father and mother's long life and long life without disaster.  Please inflict all pain, pain, and suffering on me, and I am willing to bear it for you!"

    After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he knelt on the ground respectfully. After kowtowing three times, he stood up and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

    The two elders, Murray and Moon, had long heard that Zhang Tie had been extremely filial at home since he was a child. When Zhang Tie's family lived in Black Flame City, their life was very poor. His mother made rice wine to supplement the family income. The rice wine only cost two or three dollars.  Zhang Tie loved to eat rice stuffed rice when he was a child, but after he was four years old, he stopped eating more. When his family asked him why, he said that he saw his mother working hard making rice stuffing and his father working hard, so he couldn't bear to eat more.  In order to make his parents suffer more and gain less, later the Zhang family returned to Huaiyuan County, and Zhang Tie even used a book "Abacus's Divine Arithmetic" to save his father from death. Later, even if Zhang Tie invented a full-effect potion, he became the pillar of the family.  , has become very important, and he is making money every day. At home, he is also?Not saying a word harshly to parents, obeying their parents' advice, and often pretending to be a childish child to make their parents smile

    These news about Zhang Tie are all matters in the market. Originally, it was impossible for the two elders to know and pay attention to them. However, after Zhang Tie gave birth to three great sons, as the elders in Huaiyuan Hall began to pay more attention to Zhang Tie,  As attention deepened, these things slowly reached the ears of the two elders through various channels.

    At this moment, listening to Zhang Tie's prayer, the two elders were filled with emotion. As an old Chinese saying goes, the father is heaven and the mother is earth. If there is a filial son in the family who respects heaven and loves earth, there is no need to ask for anything, and everything will be natural in the family.  If a hundred blessings come to your door, auspiciousness lingers, and you are blessed by heaven and earth, even if your family is in trouble, you can still escape and be blessed by God.  The Zhang Tie brothers are both filial sons. It has only been a few years since the family returned to Huaiyuantang from Black Flame City. However, in these few years, the Zhang family has been changing every year. Now Tie Tie is soaring into the sky.  To be promoted to a knight, not only the Zhang family, but also the entire Jinhai City line of Huaiyuantang will prosper because of this. If Huaiyuantang has one more knight, its strength will be even higher - filial piety comes first, this Chinese saying  An old saying.  Don't deceive me sincerely. Although there are only a few words, they are concise and profound.  A cardinal who can tell all the blessings and misfortunes of heaven and earth in one word.

    After watching Zhang Tie finish offering incense and praying, Elder Mun En asked Zhang Tie to sit down and wait for a while, then he pointed at a golden fou covered with runes on a table in the hall, and a line of fighting spirit flew out.  The golden fou made a soft sound, and in the sound, Zhang Tie felt a strange force spreading from the hall like ripples.  A fleeting moment.

    "Elder Mun En, what are you doing?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.

    At this moment, Elder Munn and Elder Murray had already made a 180-degree turn towards Zhang Tie.  The two of them glanced at each other with smiles, but it was Elder Murray who spoke first, "This is the sound-transmitting golden fou. As soon as this golden fou makes a sound, it will be within a thousand miles. The sound-transmitting jade carried by several family elders  The cards will vibrate, and they will rush to the ancestral hall as quickly as possible? "

    "Isn't that the same as remote sensing crystal?"

    "Absolutely. However, the remote sensing crystal is a natural thing and can only be used one-on-one. However, the sound-transmitting golden can and the sound-transmitting jade tablet are alchemical objects that can be used one-to-many. There are also limitations on the distance they can operate.  , the two can only resonate, but they cannot convey as much information as remote sensing crystals!¡±

    Zhang Tie nodded, indicating that he understood. He did not expect that there was such a thing in Huaiyuan Hall.

    "Your matter is of great importance. It is best to wait until the two elders, Elder Mu Yu and Elder Muke, who are staying at Huaiyuantang, arrive together, and then you can explain it to everyone!" Elder Mu En added.

    Among the five elders in Huaiyuan Hall, apart from Zhang Tie¡¯s sixth uncle and Elder Mu Yuan who went to the Eastern Continent, there are four elders who are currently in Huaiyuan County.

    "OK!"

    At this time, even the hot-tempered Elder Murray was sitting quietly, waiting for the arrival of the other two elders. This was a major matter and must be explained clearly to the other two elders.

    ¡­¡­

    More than ten minutes later, Elder Mu En saw Zhang Tie's ears moving, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

    "Why, do you feel it too?"

    "Zhang Tie felt that an elder had flown to a place more than fifty kilometers away. That elder had released fighting spirit while flying at full speed. The fighting spirit was very powerful, so I felt it!"

    Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie's knightly realm has been completely stabilized. Murray, Zhang Lai and Elder Moon looked at each other again, both of them were a little surprised. It is impossible for someone whose knightly realm is not stable to be so sensitive to the knight's aura.  Sensitive, and to stabilize the realm of knights, it takes an average person at least ten years after being promoted to a knight. A person may have adventures when becoming a knight, but the stabilization of this realm is a process that cannot be taken advantage of

    Both elders vaguely guessed something.

    ¡­¡­

    In just a few minutes, Zhang Tie felt a movement outside the ancestral hall. The figure had already landed outside the hall, and then walked in.

    "Zhang Tie" The elder looked at Zhang Tie who was sitting with the other two elders and called out Zhang Tie's name. There was unconcealable surprise in his voice.

    "Brother Mu An, please be patient. Zhang Tie has returned. Let's wait until Brother Mu Yu arrives!" Elder Mu En said.

    As an elder, everyone¡¯s physical and mental cultivation has reached an extremely deep level. At this time, even if Elder Mu An was surprised, he shut up and didn¡¯t say anything more. Instead, he walked over and sat down.

    Elder Mu An, who was sitting down, looked at Zhang Tie's calm and composed look in front of the two elders, and suddenly felt something??I took a breath of air-conditioning - the aura on Zhang Tie's body at this moment was completely the same as that of the two elders. Could it be

    Elder Mu An looked at Elder Murray, who nodded slightly.

    A few minutes later, the last elder staying at Huaiyuan Hall, Elder Mu Yu, also arrived.

    The four elders gathered together, and everyone fixed their burning eyes on Zhang Tie

    ¡­¡­

    "The mission I received from the Allied Forces Command was a trap. The Senel family had long known that I would go to Tokeyi to investigate. They and several high-level winged demons had been waiting in Tokeyi City for a long time.  Me, almost as soon as I arrived in Tokey City, I was discovered by several high-level wing demons. During the battle with the wing demons, my glider crashed and I was captured by Ke Ze, the head of the Senel family.  ¡­¡±

    "You can probably guess what happened next. The Senel family and the Three-Eyed Society wanted to bribe me to work for the Demon Clan and the Three-Eyed Society, but I refused. They used despicable means to slander me, and finally  I was imprisoned in a castle outside the city of Tokoi by the Senel family, trying to make me surrender!"

    "I didn't give in. Instead, I found an opportunity and escaped from that castle. Because I had some special encounters. After escaping from the territory of the Senel family, I spent a period of time in hiding and recovered from my injuries.  , after improving my strength again, I returned to the Cernes War Zone. At that time, the Cernes War Zone had been broken through by the demons, from the Cernes War Zone to the Republic of Saipan, and then to Norman.  Empire, I followed the demon army all the way, looking for a chance to take revenge!"

    "This opportunity has not been found. The strength and number of the demon army are too great, and there are demonized puppets everywhere. I don't even know where the Senel family is, and there is no way to contact them. God has not avenged me at all.  opportunity, later, the demon army suffered a heavy setback under Niyin City, and the entire demon army was in chaos. After two months of wandering in the chaos of the demon army, I still did not find the Senel family.  Traces. Then I left the Norman Empire and came to Ampton!"

    "Then in Ampton, I unexpectedly met a familiar person. That person was a young elite from the Arthur family of the Three Eyes Society, named Salant. I was following that Salant in Ampton.  , and finally discovered that Salant was actually carrying out a conspiracy in Apton, trying to cooperate with the demon army to close the gate to the north of the Kalei Mountains. "

    "Then I informed my brother of what I found"

    "Later, it was the Battle of Ampton. Several elders probably knew what happened at that time. I was chased by a demon knight and finally escaped by jumping into the Dihe River. However, the Dihe River brought me into a mysterious place.  In the underground space, in that underground space, I discovered a huge pyramid made entirely of crystals. I was very shocked at the time and walked in without knowing it"

    When Zhang Tie said this, several elders who were listening attentively exclaimed, "Ah, the Tower of Time!"

    Elder Murray could hardly help but stand up, "What happened next?"

    Zhang Tie spread his hands and said helplessly, "To be honest, those things happened a long time ago to me now. After I just walked into the pyramid, the demon who was chasing me  The knight arrived. He was also swept into the mysterious underground space by the current in the river, but he was far away from me and did not catch me in time. I almost thought that I was finished and there was no way to escape, but let  What I didn't expect was that after I entered the pyramid, the demon knight could not come in no matter what. No matter how he attacked outside, he could never open the door of the pyramid again, so I felt a little relieved.  Come on!"

    Several elders all nodded secretly. It is indeed the case. Only one person can enter the Tower of Time at a time. Since Zhang Tie has entered, it is impossible for the demon knight to enter again no matter what. Don't talk about him, even if the demon commander is called  In the past, it was of no use. I didn't expect that Zhang Tiefu, who was so lucky, could still have a chance of survival in that situation.

    "The demon knight was guarding outside. I didn't dare to go out. I began to think that I would die in that tower because there was nothing to eat in the tower. But I didn't dare to go out because of the demon knight.  The knights must be guarding outside. I began to feel that I had spent a few days in the tower. Unexpectedly, I was not thirsty or hungry, and I didn't feel any discomfort in my body. It was very empty inside and there was nothing to do.  , the demon knights were guarding outside again, so I just started practicing in the tower!"

    "I don't even remember how long I practiced in that tower. I just remember that there were times when I was almost driven crazy by that person's environment. But thinking that the demon knight was outside the pyramid, I forced myself to do it.  Holding on to oneself constantly?Practice, practice, practice. Later, I entered a state of tranquility. I forgot about time and the demon knight. I just practiced with all my heart. Until one day, when I discovered that I was the first  The first time I felt hungry and wanted to find something to eat, I came out of the pyramid and found that I had been promoted to a knight"

    "Ah, how many years have you stayed in that Tower of Time?" Elder Moon asked.

    Zhang Tie frowned and thought seriously, and finally shook his head helplessly and sighed, "In such a state, I forgot how long I had been in the Tower of Time. I felt like I had already  It feels like I have stayed there all my life. Such a period of time is really too long"

    This is of course Zhang Tie¡¯s lie. If Zhang Tie told a few elders that he was successfully promoted to a knight after staying in the Tower of Time for fifteen years, then all the elders would be upset, and at the same time they would be distrustful of their own skills and opportunities.  There will be more curiosity, because even fifteen years is still too short for a knight to be promoted. If he says he can¡¯t remember, then how long he has been practicing in the Tower of Time, let him  The elders can think about it for themselves. They can take as long as they think is appropriate. Anyway, according to the information they learned from the Knight of Garret, there is more than one flow rate of time in the Tower of Time. How much time have they spent in the Tower of Time?  , even if Huaiyuantang wants to solve this mystery, he will have to wait until 60 years later. If it really comes to that time, what if people know that he was promoted to a knight in the first fifteen years?

    The elders of Huaiyuantang all looked at each other

    Everyone knows that there are some secrets hidden in Zhang Tie's words, such as how he escaped from the prison of the Senel family, such as how his strength can improve so fast, but this kind of problem  , were all mentioned by Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie didn¡¯t want to talk more, so who could force him to do so.

    If a king does not keep secrets, he will lose his country; if ministers do not keep secrets, they will lose their lives; if officials do not keep secrets, they will lose their lives. Who in this world does not have a little secret of his own? Even the billboard hanging on the roadside for everyone to see.  Someone cannot see the backside, let alone a person. The elders of Huaiyuantang also have their own secrets and things they don¡¯t want everyone to know. Therefore, none of the elders will understand some of the details that Zhang Tie deliberately obscured.  Ask really seriously because it's not necessary at all.  The most important thing is that there are only two things. Zhang Tie is from Huaiyuantang. He has been promoted to a knight, and he is standing in front of several people. At this moment, Zhang Tie is no longer the same Zhang Tie.

    "Do you still remember where the Tower of Time is? Do you remember when the Tower of Time will be opened next?" Seeing everyone digesting what Zhang Tie said in silence, Elder Mu An  Asked a question that everyone is most concerned about.

    "Well, when I came out of that underground space, I had already marked all the way. The time when the Tower of Time will be reopened should be 60 years later" Zhang Tie made an effort to remember and frowned, "  When I left the pyramid, I seemed to feel a message running into my mind. After leaving the underground, I recalled that what the message told me was the next opening time of the Tower of Time, right  That¡¯s 60 years from now!¡±

    Hearing what Zhang Tie said, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Do the elders have any questions?" Elder Moon glanced at the remaining three elders.

    Several elders looked at each other and shook their heads.

    "Then, from today on, our Huaiyuantang will have another family elder. In the entire Weiyi subcontinent, we are the only family elder who was promoted to a knight before the age of twenty-five!"

    Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, what, a family elder (To be continued)
