Chapter 169: Searching for Tie Kuangtu

Passing through the small path, the group emerged from a rockery within the Imperial Mausoleum.

"This Tie Zhi's design ideas are truly unrestrained; to think he hid a secret passage inside this rockery—who in the world could have guessed it?"

Qin Shuang commented.

"Shuang, stop commenting, let's hurry and get down to business!"

Duan Fengyun said.

"Business?

Junior Brother Duan, what business do we have to attend to?"

Nie Feng and the other two were confused by what Duan Fengyun said; besides defeating Di Shitian and rescuing Wuming, what other business could they possibly have?

"You just promised someone and already forgot?

Why are you all so forgetful?"

Duan Fengyun replied with a smile.

"Junior Brother Duan, are you referring to Tie Kuangtu?"

Nie Feng asked.

"Yes, since we're idle anyway, let's go find Tie Kuangtu and have some fun."

Duan Fengyun said playfully.

The other three thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

Since there was nothing else to do, they might as well go and deal with Tie Kuangtu early.

After all, Kong Ci was here and still needed Tie Zhi's help to look after her.

And so, the group set off on their journey to find Tie Kuangtu.

Of course, they were certainly not the only ones looking for Tie Kuangtu.

At this moment, inside Heaven Gate, looking at the molten iron constantly flowing on the ground, Huaikong looked at his own hands with excitement.

"Huaikong, congratulations, you have finally mastered the Iron Refining Hand."

Bai Ling said from the side.

Huaikong nodded excitedly and said:

"Yes, I have finally mastered the Iron Refining Hand, and I can finally avenge Master.

Tie Kuangtu, just you wait, your death is not far off!"

Hearing Huaikong's voice, Huaimie walked in, and seeing the molten iron slowly flowing on the ground, Huaimie asked tentatively:

"Huaikong, have you mastered the Iron Refining Hand?"

Huaikong nodded and replied joyfully:

"Yes, Elder Brother.

I have mastered the Iron Refining Hand; the two of us brothers can now find Tie Kuangtu and avenge our old master."

Hearing that Huaikong had mastered the Iron Refining Hand, Huaimie was also very happy.

But then, his expression turned bleak.

Seeing this, Huaikong consoled Huaimie:

"Elder Brother, you don't need to be discouraged; I believe you will master the Sacred Heart Art very soon.

Now, with the strength of the two of us brothers, it is enough to deal with Tie Kuangtu."

Huaimie nodded; he was indeed frustrated because he had not mastered the Sacred Heart Art.

However, what Huaikong said was also right; now, the strength of the two brothers was more than enough to deal with Tie Kuangtu.

Huaimie also knew well that a divine art like the Sacred Heart Art, which could grant immortality and bring the dead back to life, would certainly be much harder to cultivate than the Iron Refining Hand.

Huaimie's goal had never been Tie Kuangtu; Tie Kuangtu was merely his target for revenge, while his true targets had always been Duan Fengyun, Bu Jingyun, and the others.

"Duan Fengyun, Bu Jingyun, sooner or later I will defeat you Martial Arts Myths."

Huaimie secretly vowed in his heart.

"Elder Brother, now we have enough strength to find Tie Kuangtu for revenge.

Do you think we should go ask the Divine Official for help and have him send people to find Tie Kuangtu's whereabouts?"

Huaikong asked.

"You are right, I will go find the Divine Official now."

After Huaikong agreed, he walked toward the Divine Official's room.

Of course, one wouldn't go to ask for favors empty-handed; Huaimie knew the Divine Official liked wine and women, so he didn't forget to bring two pots of good wine.

Huaimie walked to the Divine Official's door, knocked, and said:

"Is the Divine Official in? I've come to have a drink and chat with you."

Upon hearing Huaimie's voice, the Divine Official was extremely puzzled; what wind had blown this arrogant fellow here today?

As Di Shitian's prized disciple, the Divine Official certainly dared not offend Huaimie, so he hurried to the door, opened it, and said:

"Oh my, what wind has blown Lord Huaimie to my place?"

Huaimie raised the two pots of wine in his hands and said:

"I just happened to find two bottles of good wine, so I came to have you, Divine Official, taste them."

Seeing the good wine, the Divine Official's eyes lit up as he said:

"Since it is good wine, what are we waiting for?

Please, come inside."

Huaimie walked into the room, placed the wine on the table, and sat down.

The Divine Official had already brought down the cup, and Huaimie smiled as he opened a pot of wine.

Smelling the fragrance of the wine wafting toward him, the Divine Official smiled and said:

"Such a rich aroma of wine; it must be good wine."

After Huaimie slowly poured a cup for the Divine Official, he gestured for the Divine Official to taste it.

The Divine Official, who had long been impatient, picked up the wine cup, drained it in one gulp, then raised his thumb and said:

"It truly is good wine, fragrant and strong enough."

Huaimie did not speak and continued to fill the Divine Official's cup.

The Divine Official also remained silent, and after drinking three cups of wine in a row, he began to speak:

"One does not

visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason.

Lord Huaimie, I have drunk this wine, so you may state your business."

"Haha, as expected of the Divine Official, you are indeed exceptionally witty."

Huaimie did not forget to flatter the Divine Official.

The Divine Official waved his hand and said:

"Hey, there is no need for such formalities. If there is anything you need my help with, just say it, as long as I can help."

Huaimie began to state his request:

"I would like to trouble you, Divine Official, to help me find the whereabouts of a person.

This person is Tie Kuangtu, who injured my younger brother Huaikong at the Hero Assembly some time ago.

This person and we two brothers have a grudge over the killing of our master, so we must find this person to avenge our master."

Upon hearing that it was just to help find someone, and not someone Di Shitian had instructed him not to touch, the Divine Official waved his hand and said:

"I thought it was some big matter.

So it is to find that Tie Zhizhu who was beaten away by Duan Fengyun. Brother Huai, rest assured, this matter is on me."

After hearing this, Huaimie hurriedly poured another cup of wine for the Divine Official and said:

"Then I will trouble you, Brother Divine Official. After the matter is accomplished, I will bring you a few more pots of good wine."

The Divine Official picked up the wine cup, drained it in one gulp, and said:

"Good, leave everything to me.

You and Brother Huaikong just wait for my good news."

"Good, then I shall wait for your news, Brother Divine Official."

Huaimie stood up, finished speaking, and then left.

The Divine Official sat in his seat, picked up the wine pot, drank the remaining wine until it was completely gone, and shouted:

"Someone come here."

The underlings under the Divine Official heard the summons and hurriedly ran in.

"My Lord, may I ask what instructions you have for summoning this lowly one?"

The Divine Official, with his tongue tied, commanded:

"Pass down my order to scout for that Tie Zhizhu person—Tie Kuangtu—from the Hero Assembly some time ago.

Do not act rashly after finding information; return to notify me immediately."

"Yes, my Lord.

This lowly one obeys your command."

After receiving the order, the underling scurried off to arrange the command.

As for the Divine Official, he opened another pot of wine and began to drink it happily.

"Good wine, truly good wine, I can drink to my heart's content again.

Haha."

Huaimie, who was quietly hiding to the side, watched as the Divine Official kept his word and arranged the matter he had entrusted to him, and smiled with satisfaction.

He then turned and left.
