Chapter 1569 Betray Them Just Like That?
Mengmeng walked through the crowd, accompanied by Nina, Felina, Zhao Feng, Chu Qingyi, and others.
They were surrounded by their own people.
The scene was chaotic.
The enemies lost quite disastrously. Most of the elites from the three districts of the Prime Yang Palace had been eliminated in the first round, as well as countless other disciples.
“What a great defeat!”
“No, this is a crus.h.i.+ng defeat. The Prime Yang Palace has suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat. The forces of their three districts have lost all their members in the Tribulation Stage and their elite disciples. Their ordinary disciples have been crippled. They really have no chance to win. Zhang Hanyang is too powerful.”
“He seckilled a cultivator at the second tier of the Tribulation Stage. How powerful is he?”
“No wonder, no wonder he dared declare war on the two sects that day. Now, the consequences have come. He crushed three districts of the Prime Yang Palace. This is a head-on blow.”
“The war has begun. Next, Zhang Hanyang and his people will face the counterattack of the Prime Yang Palace. I wonder if they can withstand it.”
“The key is that Zhang Hanyang is too flexible and can come and go as he pleases. Both the Prime Yang Palace and the Black Dragon Palace have fixed territories.”
“…”
While these people were talking about it, Zhang Han and his people finished their pursuit. Some of the enemy’s fleets were destroyed, and the rest escaped.
With victory in mind, Zhang Han’s teams returned to their own s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps and left for the Red Fish Planet in the Red Wind Region.
“Victory!”
“We won so easily.”
In countless s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, there were people celebrating with each other.
They ate and drank.
This was the rest time after the victory.
It would take a day to get to the destination from here.
However, on this day, Zhang Mu was greatly tortured.
He silently came to Zhang Han and tugged at his arm, saying, “Han, take Kong Ling’er away and ask her to let me go. I’m getting old. My heart can’t stand too much pressure…”
Zhang Han’s face darkened.
“Let’s give it a try. Take her in as a disciple. There’s nothing we can do if she doesn’t agree,” Zi Yan said faintly.
She was very smart and knew that Kong Ling’er had become too stubborn, and would not give up until she hit a dead end.
Kong Ling’er was the reason why the Starlight Divine Sect did not take action although Mo Qinghan was killed.
If they turned against each other and the Starlight Divine Sect took action, the three sects would join hands and put Zhang Han and his people in danger. Under the correct guidance, their armies were very powerful, but there was a limit to their strength.
The second reason was that Zi Yan felt that although Kong Ling’er was stubborn, she was not a bad person. The third reason was that she was confident. She felt that Kong Ling’er was excellent, but it was impossible for her to make trouble under Zi Yan’s nose.
After comprehensive consideration, Zi Yan felt that Zhang Han should try to take Kong Ling’er as his disciple and see if she could adjust herself. If it didn’t work out, she would drive her away.
Zhang Han pondered for two seconds, hesitated a little, and finally nodded. “Okay.”
Zhang Han ordered, “Xiaofeng, go call Kong Ling’er over.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Zhao Feng nodded and left.
He felt a little awkward and thought to himself, “This seems to be the first time that the Master has to accept a disciple pa.s.sively. Kong Ling’er is quite powerful.”
After he entered Kong Ling’er’s room and reported what had happened-
“Did you say that Zhang Hanyang called me?”
Kong Ling’er chuckled and followed him out.
On the way, Zhao Feng couldn’t help asking, “Do you know what love is?”
“I don’t know.”
“Love… is the kind of heartbeat that makes people dizzy and suffocate. Love needs to go through the test of time.” Zhao Feng said slowly with a sweet smile, “I’m married, and my lover’s name is Liang Mengqi. It was very interesting at first because Liang Mengqi also adored Master at the beginning.”
Kong Ling’er was stunned.
She was very puzzled. “Then why did she still marry you?”
“Because adoration is different from love, such as wors.h.i.+p, admiration, or other kinds. I think you may like Master.”
At this point, Zhao Feng stopped talking.
Kong Ling’er wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she fell silent. Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she relaxed, as if she was thinking about something.
Finally, they arrived at the central control room.
Dozens of people stood there, and Kong Ling’er calmly walked over.
She walked closer and asked, “Did you ask for me?”
Zhang Han stared at her with a serious look and said, “Kong Ling’er, you’ve inherited the martial arts heritages of my remnant will. I’ve left many treasures or martial arts heritages in the Cultivation World. You’re not the only one that has got some of them. But since I’ve met you and you helped Mount New Moon, I’ve decided to give you a chance.”
“A, a chance?” Kong Ling’er asked, her eyes suddenly lighting up.
“A chance to become my disciple,” Zhang Han added.
“Huh?” This seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
But Zhang Han didn’t give her much time to think about it.
“Not everyone can be my disciple. If you want to, you need to pa.s.s my test. If you don’t want to, I’ll send you off the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p now and we’ll be strangers. You only have these two choices.”
When everyone heard this, there was silence in the field.
Kong Ling’er was also stunned. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Mengmeng touched her beautiful face from behind and said, “Oh my G.o.d, Dad is going to take in another beautiful disciple. Can my mum bear it?”
Zi Yan was speechless.
Ning Chen said with a smile, “It’s a great honor to be a disciple of Hanyang. If we weren’t so familiar with him, we would have been apprenticed long ago.”
“Yes. Back then, Hanyang, alas, I’ll just leave it here. I’ve kept it in mind.” Li Shan shook his head with a smile.
“Little girl,” Elder Bai said softly, “this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Seize it. In the future, you will get to soar in the Cultivation World. The world is so big that there are many places where you can enjoy the scenery. Of course, you have to follow your heart. As an experienced person, I can tell you that when you are about to go through the Tribulation Stage, your mentality is not stable. Now, you have fallen into a psychological misunderstanding. When you figure things out, it will be easier for you to pa.s.s the Tribulation Stage.”
“We just pa.s.sed the Tribulation Stage.” Ning Chen coughed softly, glanced at Zhang Han with a strange look, and then said, “The Thunder Tribulation is very horrible. When you pa.s.s it, no matter what, you will suffer from the Inner Demon Tribulation. It took us less than a minute to go through it.”
“Haha.” Chu Qingyi smiled faintly and said, “That’s not what you should be considering now. If you want to pa.s.s, you have to pa.s.s Master’s test first.”
Ning Chen and the others were relatively enthusiastic. On the one hand, they wanted to solve the small problem at hand. On the other hand, they thought highly of the talent of Kong Ling’er. The Inner Demon Tribulation would indeed make people question what they had learned for a period.
They all thought that Kong Ling’er might be like that. However, no one knew what the truth was.
“I have a question.”
Kong Ling’er said, “After I become your disciple, will you speak to me normally?”
Zhang Han didn’t need to answer this question.
Mu Xue said, “Of course. Master usually teaches us a lot and chats with us, but don’t think it’s so easy to pa.s.s the a.s.sessment. It’s also possible for you to fail.”
“I’ll take the test.”
Kong Ling’er took a deep breath.
“Let’s leave the secondary s.p.a.ce.”
Zhang Han waved his hand.
As Zhao Feng gave the order, more than 500,000 s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps jumped out of the secondary s.p.a.ce at the same time.
Soon, dozens of people stood in the void of the universe.
Zhang Han and Kong Ling’er faced each other in the air.
“Show me your strongest attack,” Zhang Han said flatly.
Swoos.h.!.+
Kong Ling’er made a hand seal, and two black and white dragons flew out, forming a huge seal with great power.
“It’s Double Dragon Seal.”
Zhang Han narrowed his eyes slightly and directly suppressed it with the Qing Ming Seal.
“Everyone says that you have good apt.i.tude, but there’s nothing special about you,” Zhang Han said, “and your comprehension ability is not strong.”
Kong Ling’er narrowed her eyes. “I only used 70% of my strength.
“Take this!”
Buzz!
The Frozen Sword appeared.
This cold light was very eye-catching.
“If I were in your realm, my attack power would be at least ten times stronger than yours.” Zhang Han shook his head. “In terms of the comprehension of Tao of the sword, you can’t even compare with Xue.”
“Illusions!”
Kong Ling’er was a bit angry.
The stars moved.
An illusion of a Star Map was displayed.
The Star Map was a powerful illusion that Zhang Han had mastered.
He smiled. She had even learned this. It seemed that his remnant will was quite optimistic about Kong Ling’er.
“Your illusions aren’t good enough. You have learned a lot of them, but you are not skilled at any of them!”
Zhang Han waved his hand to dissolve the illusion.
“Cloudy Spell.”
Kong Ling’er attacked again.
“It’s still too complicated and unrefined. You don’t have enough control.”
“…”
Under the crowd’s gazes, Kong Ling’er’s attacks were all easily neutralized.
At first, Kong Ling’er looked angry. Then, she looked a little depressed, worried, and finally a little disappointed.
Was she at a loss after her defeat?
“Have I pa.s.sed the a.s.sessment?” Kong Ling’er gave up attacking and looked at Zhang Han.
In the face of such a situation, Zhang Han shook his head slightly and sighed.
“I’m sorry, your apt.i.tude is not bad, but there are many problems. As for…”
He seemed to be turning her down.
Kong Ling’er was a little depressed. “I didn’t pa.s.s the test…”
“Alas, forget it.”
Zhang Han said, “Since you got the martial arts heritage of my remnant will and are friendly to Mount New Moon, you have pa.s.sed the a.s.sessment and become a nominal disciple.”
“I succeeded?” Kong Ling’er eyes brightened.
“Yes.” Zhang Han nodded and smiled, “I don’t care too much about apt.i.tude, but I care about sincerity and kindness. You have succeeded for the time being. You are my fifth disciple, a nominal disciple for the time being. If you perform well in the future, you will become a real disciple.”
“Okay!” Kong Ling’er said happily, “Is there any benefit? I want to have a chat with you.”
“Let’s go back to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.”
Zhang Han tacitly agreed and took the lead to fly to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
Not far away, Ning Chen pouted repeatedly. “Look what he’s doing. He’s too scheming. She’s been fooled and stunned.”
“She’s still too young.” Elder Bai couldn’t help laughing. “How can this little girl be a match for Hanyang?”
“Yes. They decided to take her in as his disciple, and yet he made the process full of ups and downs.” Li Shan sighed with emotion. “Hanyang is indeed ruthless. He deserves to be a man who has seen the world.”
“…”
Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Guangyou, Rong Jiali, and Zi Yan were also watching from the side.
Rong Jiali even took Zi Yan by the hand and said, “Yan, don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on her with you and never give her any chance to be with Han alone.”
“Okay. Thank you, Mom.” Zi Yan smiled.
Back on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
“Well, do I need to perform the apprentice ceremony?”
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Kong Ling’er was a bit nervous.
This was different from what she had imagined.
“Aren’t we supposed to chat casually?
“Why is everyone looking at me?
“I see. I may need to perform an apprentice ceremony.”
“When you become an official disciple, you’ll perform the apprentice ceremony.” Zhang Han said, “Take a seat and tell us how you got my martial arts heritage.”
“Okay.”
Kong Ling’er sat at the side and began to recount some of the details of her story.
Zhao Feng and Instructor Liu were standing aside.
“Another disciple.”
Zhao Feng said, “Oh, by the way, isn’t Kong Ling’er from the Starlight Divine Sect now? She betrayed them just like that?”
