Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal-Chapter 1241: You Know

Chapter 1241: You Know

In Hong Dali’s command center.

“Are there any movements from Jiang Shili’s side for the past two days?” Hong Dali laid on Li Nianwei’s thigh and asked the soldiers monitoring the screen 24 hours a day. “Such as deployment of troops and the Cultivator troops the planet.”

He was the commander, after all. There was a need to be concerned about these matters.

“Reporting to Second Lieutenant, there are no movements from the Cultivators. It seems they are restructuring,” the soldier replied. “The Cultivators near Dali Mountain Range are just patrolling and not making any moves. There’s not much movement from Cultivator troops outside as well. It seems they’re just looking for a habitable planet.”

“No movements? That’s weird.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Since I have been selected as his opponent, he should be attacking so we can retaliate. But there’s no action on his side…”

Typically in such battles, time was life. Even if they didn’t attack, it was necessary to distribute their troops or something. The Cultivators were different from Hong Dali, after all. On Hong Dali’s side, ten billion Zergs patrolled non-stop. The Cultivators should be on guard all the time.

“What is this Jiang Shili up to?” Hong Dali frowned. Something must be up if things were abnormal. It was unusual that there were no movements on Jiang Shili’s side.

He thought for a while and suddenly beamed. He sat up and stretched lazily. “I got it. Xiaoyi! Where is Xiaoyi?”

“Young Master, I’m here.” Hearing Hong Dali’s call, Ling Xiaoyi quickly made her way over. “Young Master, what do you need me to do?”

“Help me pass my orders.” Hong Dali laughed. “Have the honorary disciples of the families who came to experience treasure hunting arrived?”

“Most of them are here. There are about ten million of them now,” Ling Xiaoyi replied.

“En, tell them that they can go to the Dali Mountain Range to look for treasures and train.” Hong Dali issued a command with a smile. “Remember to take a flying Zerg with you when you go. If something seems amiss, retreat immediately. Don’t fight.”

“This…” Ling Xiaoyi was curious. “Young Master, isn’t it too dangerous to train over there?”

“Of course, how will they train without danger?” Hong Dali said, “Oh, right. I almost forgot. Tell them not to go in groups. It’s best to split up. Also, be careful not to cross the boundary. Go on. Jiang Shili will understand my move.”

Everyone was a little puzzled with such a strange command. When Ling Xiaoyi left, Lei Zhe tugged at Hong Dali’s sleeve and asked softly, “Dali, aren’t you afraid of sending them to their deaths?”

“Of course I’m afraid.” Hong Dali said, “But that won’t happen. If Jiang Shili thinks the same way as I do, he will understand why I did this.”

“Aiya, Dali, don’t keep us guessing,” Tang Muxin said coyly. “What is it exactly? Tell us about it!”

Looking at the expressions of everyone around him, Hong Dali was somewhat embarrassed to keep them guessing. He could only tell them. “I was actually wondering previously why Jiang Shili isn’t doing anything. But when I thought about it carefully, it seems he never had the intention to do anything.”

“No intention to do anything? What do you mean?” Lei Zhe asked.

“It’s actually simple. Uncle Lei Zhe, think about it,” Hong Dali explained with a smile. “If the Cultivators crossed the boundary, there is no escape for them, right? If they can’t go back, they can only charge forward. However, how many of them are there? So what if Tang Zhen is invincible? If one person dies, there is one less person. There will be a time when all of them die, right? Hence, Tang Zhen set up a game and asked me to battle with Jiang Shili. Jiang Shili will simply just loaf on the job. If I attack, he will defend. If I don’t do anything, he won’t do anything either. As long as I’m the commander here, naturally, no one will intervene. We will just hang around and stall time until they all split up into parts and merge with us in this dimension. At that time, no one can tell who belongs to which side and the Cultivator troops will then have survived.”

Woah, what Hong Dali said made sense!

Tang Zhen was playing a big game of chess to trick everyone. In fact, his actual plan was to disperse all the Cultivators and let them survive here?

Hong Dali was right. This was Tang Zhen’s real motive.

The reason was very simple. This time, Tang Zhen, the leader of the Cultivators, was different from the past!

Tang Zhen was not a Heaven’s Chosen One!

In the past Dimensional War, almost all the leaders were Heaven’s Chosen Ones. It was absolutely impossible for them not to fight as they were manipulated by Dimension Masters. But Tang Zhen did not have this concern. Hence, there was no need for this Dimensional War to happen!

“Dali, you’re really smart! You actually thought of this?!” Lei Zhe stared in bewilderment. This Hong Dali was really amazing. He could actually think of this! Thinking carefully, it was absolutely possible!

Otherwise, with Tang Zhen’s strength, why didn’t he kill Hong Dali and the others? One should know that with Tang Zhen’s real strength, he was completely capable of killing them all instantly when they first met him. But he did not do that. Why not? Because he did not want to amplify the war! If he killed Lei Zhe and the others, this war would be escalated immediately. Tang Zhen was invincible, but what about the people under him? Where would they run to?

“Okay, hehe.” Hong Dali stretched, satisfied. “This kind of thing is more suitable for me. No need to be nervous, everyone. Just go do whatever you need to do. If you want to, you can even visit Jiang Shili’s main troops…”

En, though everyone was already secretly sure that Jiang Shili would not kill unnecessarily, they still had to further observe him…

…

Within the headquarters where Jiang Shili was located.

“Venerable One, we have the latest news from Dali Mountain Range.” A Cultivator stood respectfully outside Jiang Shili’s room as he reported, “Hong Dali sent about ten million people to Dali Mountain Range and each of them brought along a Zerg. They are now active inside the mountain range.”

“Oh? More than ten million?” Jiang Shili frowned and suddenly asked, “Are these people entering in teams or alone?”

“Venerable One, they are all alone.” The Cultivator whispered, “What do we do next? Do we exterminate them all?”

“Don’t worry, let me think.” Jiang Shili slowly walked out of the door of his room and walked around the area twice with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly. “Hahahaha, good move, Hong Dali. Master is not wrong about you!”

Saying that he immediately ordered, “Notify everyone, no one is allowed to go into the mountain in teams, only alone. Also, let everyone know. If they meet the enemy, don’t kill them unless they attack us with intent to kill. Go, quickly!”

“This…” The guard hesitated for a moment, then hurried off to inform everyone.

After the guard left, Jiang Shili got more excited as he thought about it. He laughed and said, “Hahahaha, this Hong Dali is really interesting! Interesting! He’s indeed a person whom Master thinks highly of! He’s really extraordinary! He should have guessed my intention. Otherwise, he would not have scattered his men into the mountain range instead of ordering them to advance in teams. These people are just here to train and test my stand! Hahahaha! Good, good! Yes, speaking of which, he gave us such a big gift. It would not be right if we do not send a return gift.”

Jiang Shili thought about it while stroking his chin. Then, he said decisively, “Guards!”

“Venerable One.” A Cultivator immediately ran over. “Your subordinate is here.”

“Relay my orders.” Jiang Shili thought about it again and said, “Arrange for someone to send the 10,000 flying swords that were recovered from the battlefield previously to Hong Dali secretly. Hmm, no. It will be easily discovered. How about this? Pack the flying swords up nicely, then get ready 1,000 superior flying swords. I will inform Hong Dali. Go, quickly!”

“Yes!” The Cultivator hurried off to prepare.

…

In Hong Dali’s command center.

Hong Dali was resting when the message talisman activated and Jiang Shili’s voice said, “Brother Hong, are you available tomorrow at noon? I was bored yesterday and came across an interesting place while traveling. I sincerely invite Brother Dali to visit it with me.” The specific location was provided next. The map was well and clearly drawn. It was very easy to understand.

“Dali, what is Jiang Shili up to?” Tang Muxin asked curiously, “He asked to meet you again?”

“Hehe, this should be something good. I’ll go, of course I will go.” Hong Dali chuckled. “It seems he’s quite smart, hahaha.”

One night passed quickly. At around 10 AM the next morning, Hong Dali headed straight to the location where he was to meet Jiang Shili with his lackeys.

Jiang Shili was already there with a few Cultivators. When he saw Hong Dali, he immediately rushed forward, held out his hand, and grabbed Hong Dali’s hand. He said, laughing “Hahahaha, Brother Dali is really punctual. You make me really happy.”

“Hey, Brother Jiang, you must have something good for me. That’s why you asked me here, right?” Hong Dali smiled. “You know.”

“Hahaha, I really can’t hide anything from Brother Hong.” Jiang Shili burst out laughing when he heard Hong Dali’s words. He said, “Come and see the gift I have prepared for you.”

As he spoke, he motioned to the people who had come with him to open the ten super huge wooden boxes behind him.

As soon as the boxes were opened, Hong Dali and the others gasped as soon as they saw what was inside.

Flying swords! Ten big boxes of undamaged flying swords!
