Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 1244: Apprenticeship

Invincible was loneliness, fleeting like the snow!

With just one strike, the weapon of the number one swordsman of the younger generation was taken away. It was life or death.

Tang Zhen no longer looked at the young seed master whose grandeur had been completely taken away. In the end, he walked to Ye Ziling, who was sitting on the ground, without looking back. He said coldly, “Lady Ye is the number one beauty in the pugilistic world, This Tang will kindly accept her. The few of you go back and tell your master, whoever dares to disturb This Tang’s leisurely life, This Tang will decimate his whole family. Get lost!”

The few young masters cultivated by the biggest families dared not stay any longer. They left immediately.

Soon, only Tang Zhen and Yi Ziling were left in the entire fairy trail bamboo forest. Tang Zhen bent down slightly, reached out his hand, and said gently to Ye Ziling, “Lady Ziling, please get up.”

“Tang Zhen, you...” Ye Ziling was shocked. She would never have thought that this was how it would end. Tang Zhen actually said he would kindly accept her. What did that mean? Although she thought this way, Ye Ziling placed her hand on Tang Zhen’s wrist.

“How is it possible for This Tang not to know how Lady Ziling feels? This Tang is not a blockhead.” Tang Zhen gently helped Ye Ziling up and smiled. “If Lady Ye had taken the initiative, I’m afraid it would damage your reputation. Hence, This Tang became the bad guy. In this way, This Tang will bear all the infamy. This Tang is known as the Devil Lord, anyway. It will not matter if my reputation gets worse.”

“Tang Zhen...” Just one sentence and Ye Ziling had already burst into tears.

She couldn’t control it anymore. She buried her head in Tang Zhen’s arms. Two years of yearning and grievances melted into tears as she got everything off her chest.

“Cry it all out.” Tang Zhen gently stroked her long waterfall-like hair and said softly, “What can be better than letting it all out by crying...”

Telling the story up to this point, Tang Zhen finally finished. A few women’s faces were already covered with tears. Tang Muxin cried, “It’s so touching, wuwuwu... What happened to Lady Ziling after that?”

Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head. He murmured, “It’s a pity. This Tang was not able to spend many happy times with Lady Ziling. Fate played a joke on us. It’s sad and regrettable.”

Upon seeing Tang Zhen’s expression, Hong Dali knew there must be something else. He rolled his eyes and immediately asked, “This Lady Ziling is a Heaven’s Chosen One?”

“Brother Hong is smart, indeed.” Tang Zhen nodded slightly and said, “That’s right. She’s a Heaven’s Chosen One.”

“That’s what I thought. Otherwise, with Brother Tang’s ability, unless she’s a Heaven’s Chosen One and is forced to enter the Shuraba, what can be too difficult for Brother Tang?” Hong Dali sighed and said, “But the Shuraba is different. By the way, Brother, what’s with this Shuraba? I’ve always heard from my lackeys, who are all Heaven’s Chosen Ones, that this Shuraba is very cruel?”

Shuraba, Hong Dali had long heard about it. As a Devil’s Chosen One, he had never gotten any news about it. Hence, he was unsure of how it worked. He only knew that it was extremely cruel—it was said all the Heaven’s Chosen Ones were put on the battlefield to fight each other to their deaths.

Tang Zhen was knowledgeable and might know more about it.

“Shuraba, that was where Ziling went.” Indeed, Tang Zhan said slowly, “The Shuraba is where countless worlds’ Heaven Chosen Ones are gathered to fight together. Only one will survive in the end. This is something that only a powerful person with amazing strength can do. It seems that Brother Hong’s dimension has it as well. That makes things easier. There should be many almighty ones! Every Dimension should have one. From the day that This Tang saw Ziling disappear from my arms, This Tang’s pursuit for power has reached the extreme.”

This was easy. Simply put, Tang Zhen’s goal was to continue to become strong, until he could directly look for the highest almighty, the Dimension Master that Hong Dali had already heard of. By then, no matter the results, he would have done his best.

A person with unparalleled dominance and deep affection.

“It seems there’s a long way ahead.” Hong Dali sighed. “That’s the Dimension Master, he must be really powerful.”

“So what if he’s really powerful?” Tang Zhen smiled disdainfully. “One day, This Tang will meet him. This Tang swears!”

Having said that, the story had almost come to an end. Hong Dali took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I’m still quite happy to know more about Brother Tang. I feel like our relationship has gotten closer, hehe. But it’s late and I have to quickly return with these flying swords. Also, en, yes, there has to be a way for the people on your side to disappear. I was thinking they can hide in the Zergs’ mouth, and the flying swords can be sent out separately. In this way, no one will find out. It sounds good.”

“Haha, Brother Dali’s idea is not bad.” Jiang Shili appeared pleased with Hong Dali’s idea. “We will pretend to engage in a few large-scale battles and I will ask my men to appear to be eaten up by your Zergs. Then, you can send them away in spacecraft to a secluded area. This is a good idea.”

“It’s not bad, indeed. Brother Hong is really intelligent.” Tang Zhen appeared very satisfied with Hong Dali’s idea. “This Tang will not say more. If Brother Hong doesn’t mind, This Tang can give your friends a few pointers. It might be useful to them.”

Woah, did you hear that? Tang Zhen ah! That’s Devil Lord Tang Zhen! The person who is able to move the planet’s continental plates by himself! He actually said he’s willing to give my lackeys some pointers! This is something that one would never dream of!

“Sure, no problem! Haha!” Hong Dali grinned from ear to ear. “Lackeys, quickly greet your Master. What are you waiting for?!”

Hence, Li Yang and the others quickly came forward to greet their master earnestly. “Disciple Li Yang (etc), greets Venerable Master!”

“Okay.” Tang Zhen smiled. “There’s no need for the formalities. En, please return to get ready. This Tang will wait for you in the palace.”

Since everything was settled, Tang Zhen left immediately. His figure gradually blurred and soon disappeared. He really did come as he wished and left as he wished. Carefree, a godly man, indeed!

“Alright. Since there’s nothing else, I will return first.” Hong Dali smiled. “You can make arrangements for the people under you. There are one billion of them, right? I think we should be able to transport ten million people on one trip. One hundred million will be ten trips and one billion will be one hundred trips. As for the remaining people, I will ask Li Yang to lead the team and transport them in batches.”

“En, no problem.” Jiang Shili cupped his fists. “Words cannot express my gratitude. I appreciate everything Brother Dali has done for us. Just let me know if you need help in the future. I will be sure to help you.”

“Alright, I’ll leave first.” Saying that Hong Dali brought along his lackeys, took the flying swords, and got ready to return to make the necessary arrangements—although one billion Cultivators might seem like a lot of people, it actually wasn’t. After all, the universe was infinite. Billions of people in the universe would be inconspicuous. This big transfer plan was absolutely no problem.

...

Li Longfei had been dispirited for a few days.

He felt that Lieutenant General Lei Zhe took too much care of Hong Dali. Look at Hong Dali, since he came, he either slept all day or rode on Zergs to see the scenery.

Jiang Shili was inexplicable as well. Since Tang Zhen came to arrange this inexplicable battle, he always felt that something was wrong. But this damn Hong Dali had been giving a few orders sneakily, and he couldn’t figure out what exactly was going on.

“What’s this Hong Dali up to?” Li Longfei frowned as he mumbled. Thinking up to this point, there was suddenly a commotion over at the command center. Li Longfei hurried over and was suddenly stunned. “Dali, where did you get so many flying swords? Seized?”

“Oh, the flying swords I got previously sold quite well. Hence, I asked the Zergs to fight another battle with them to get a few more flying swords. Hehe,” Hong Dali replied cheekily. “There are quite many of them this time, more than ten thousand.” Then, he returned to his room to rest.

“He asked the Zergs to fight the Cultivators again?” Li Longfei touched his chin. “Exchanging Zergs for flying swords? That seems quite profitable. Each flying sword is worth two to three million. Won’t ten thousand swords be worth tens of billions?”

If he could get tens of billions out of a battle every day, it would become a huge sum over time.

“That’s not right.” Li Longfei suddenly felt that something was amiss. “I didn’t hear of any troop movements or fights happening these two days near the border... This won’t do, I must go take a look. Something is not right!”

Battles required the mobilization of troops. Li Longfei had always wanted to study Hong Dali’s tactics, but he had never heard of any fights happening. The disciples sent to Dali Mountain Range did not mention fighting as well.

The more Li Longfei thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He quickly went to a computer and began to observe the distribution of troops as well as battle reports for the past few days.

“Nothing, absolutely nothing. There are no battles anywhere. The Zergs are not even dispatched.” Li Longfei frowned and said, “Is this Hong Dali lying? They didn’t fight? Where did his flying swords come from, then?”

No battles, but he came back with more than ten thousand flying swords...

“Something is definitely wrong!” Li Longfei rolled his eyes and chuckled when he suddenly thought of something.

At night, when everyone was asleep. Li Longfei went up to the big boxes of flying swords sneakily. While nobody was around, he sneaked out a flying sword and observed it carefully.
