Chapter 396 Redemption
Chang Hao's sword aura hardened, and the corner of his mouth twitched. It seemed that the Heavenly Dao of this primordial world was not very smart. He might as well not have this merit.
However, this interruption by the Heavenly Dao actually saved Tongtian, allowing Chang Hao's feverish mind to regain its composure and reason.
Chang Hao stepped on Tongtian's chest and used the tip of his sword to lift Tongtian's chin. "A sage is truly remarkable. Not everyone wants to be a sage's disciple, understand?"
These gods and immortals never took the human race seriously. Even though he was the human emperor and the highest-ranking human, these gods still had an arrogant look in their eyes.
Tongtian nodded blankly, surprisingly obedient to Chang Hao's expectations. His eyes were so clear that Chang Hao wondered if the person he was controlling was an idiot.
Chang Hao was silent for a moment before continuing, "I am a human being, not a kitten or puppy under your control, to be summoned and dismissed at will. You can summon me to play with me when you like and forget about me when you don't. Don't bother me again, understand?"
Chang Hao patted Tongtian's face with his sword. This sect leader has such a thick skin. How can he not feel ashamed?
Tongtian's eyes shone like stars. "Now you're not a kitten or a puppy anymore." Only then did Tongtian truly take Chang Hao seriously, instead of seeing him as a dispensable disciple.
Uh... of course, he's not my master anymore either.
Tongtian secretly shed tears. He was probably the most tragic master in the prehistoric world. He was the first to be betrayed and his ancestors destroyed, and the whole prehistoric world was notified of his loss of face and dignity.
"Shut up," Chang Hao slapped Tongtian Jiaozhu again, "Being defeated by a human you didn't even consider a threat, aren't you angry? Don't you want to destroy everything?"
However, Tongtian only stared at Chang Hao, and to Chang Hao's surprise, there was no anger, only a glint of light in his eyes. "Who are you?"
"I am your father," Chang Hao cursed angrily. "What, do you want me to call you father?" He asked the Eastern Tongtian Sect Leader, who answered in the west. Was he pretending to be stupid?
"Father..." Tongtian thought for a moment and actually called out. After the first time, the second time was easy, "Father, can you give me back my spiritual treasure?" What was the bottom line? Tongtian had already swallowed it himself.
Tongtian only knew that he was about to starve.
"Master, you should be glad you're a saint, still alive and kicking even after I've stabbed you hundreds or thousands of times..."
Only after being reminded did Tongtian begin to feel the overwhelming pain. How could it not hurt? It was excruciating. Before, he had only been numb by Di Xin's attack, but now he was finally exerting his full power.
"Damn it," Tongtian immediately lay flat, groaning repeatedly, "It hurts, it hurts so much..." His face was contorted, and he looked like he was really in pain.
Chang Hao once again suspected that this person was an idiot, directly showing weakness in front of the enemy...
In a fit of anger, Chang Hao didn't bother arguing with Tongtian and started searching Tongtian Sect Leader. After a thorough search, he found nothing. Damn, he was just a poor wretch.
"Get up, stop pretending to be dead." Chang Hao grabbed Tongtian by the front of his shirt and lifted him up.
Chang Hao pointed at the bamboo slips spread on the ground and casually tossed a brush in front of Tongtian. "I heard you have brothers. Write this down and have your brothers bring spiritual treasures, rare materials, and so on to redeem you."
hiss……
Tongtian glanced at the ferocious Di Xin, "What will happen if I don't write it?"
"Not writing?" Chang Hao turned his head and plunged a sword into Tongtian's side. "If your brother doesn't redeem you, you will be imprisoned by me forever within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, becoming my punching bag. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I'll come to you to practice my sword skills."
Tongtian glanced at the Zhuxian Sword Formation out of the corner of his eye and began to make plans in his mind.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. You've wielded the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation for an unimaginably long time, and you're the master of this path. It shouldn't be difficult for you to escape alive." Chang Hao stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then suddenly pulled out the World-Destroying Black Lotus, extracted rare and precious materials from it, and began setting up a formation within a formation…
Looking at the black lotus in his hand, and the top-grade natural treasure that Chang Hao only learned about after being reminded by Yuanshi Tianzun, Chang Hao suddenly thought of Yuanshi Tianzun. His expression flickered. The fool in his hand was Yuanshi Tianzun's younger brother. The brother's debt should be repaid by the elder brother. He wondered if Yuanshi Tianzun would be willing to sacrifice himself to save his brother.
Tongtian's face fell. Escaping the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was already difficult enough, but Di Xin was planning to set up another formation inside it. A formation that could coexist with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation must be of a level no weaker than the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. It was all over.
When Chang Hao returned after making the arrangements, he found the bamboo slips still empty. Enraged, he smashed the Heavenly Piercing Lotus with it, yelling, "What are you waiting for?! Write!!!"
Tongtian's eyes widened suddenly. "Is this black lotus my black lotus?" Jinling's words echoed in Tongtian's mind...
Oh right, Jinling said he has memory problems.
“This is my black lotus.” Chang Hao emphasized the word “I”.
"Yes, it's yours now. I mean, this black lotus, wasn't it a gift from me?"
Chang Hao was once again certain that the Tongtian Sect Leader was an idiot, and even more certain that the Black Lotus did not belong to this saint who was full of idiocy. "No, stop flattering yourself. This was given to me by Daoist Qingwei."
Black Lotus was incredibly kind to him; how could his former master possibly be the Tongtian Sect Leader?
"Stop talking nonsense and write it down." Chang Hao had completely lost his patience.
Tongtian was filled with doubts, but the situation was beyond his control. He had no choice but to write a letter for help, hoping that his elder brothers would not be too kind and would not come to redeem him. They could not bear the shame and he would escape with the Zhuxian Sword Formation on his own.
"A long and arduous journey through mountains and rivers, searching for my disciple who is now imprisoned. We have only been apart for half a month. Come and rescue my brother without further ado."
“Rewrite…” Chang Hao threw the bamboo slips back.
Tongtian immediately looked up. "Why?" Was his writing bad?
"Playing acrostic poetry with me?" Chang Hao's smile was chilling as he pointed to each character, "Thousand, ten thousand, don't, come..."
"Huh? Do you think I can't see it?" Chang Hao almost twisted Tongtian's head off. "No tricks allowed. These are all things I've done before. You haven't even scratched the surface." These tricks are utterly rubbish. Do you think he's blind and can't see it?
Chang Hao was hoping that Tongtian's wealth would bring him more rare and precious materials for troop deployment. He had paid the price of kneeling, and he couldn't let it go to waste. He had to regain his dignity in a respectable way.
Tongtian was exhausted. He raised his hand to wipe away the previous writing, no longer in the mood for fancy words. He picked up his pen and wrote, "Help! Come quickly!"
Chang Hao took the bamboo slip and checked whether the Tongtian Sect Leader had used any illusions. "Although it's simple, it's concise and to the point."
Tongtian glanced at Di Xin, exhausted. He had lost both the battle of wits and courage. He told him to rest, as his whole body was in real pain.
Chang Hao patted Tongtian on the shoulder, "Be honest, I think you don't want to lose face in front of all the disciples of the Jie Sect." The implication was that if Tongtian was honest, he would protect his reputation and prevent the news from leaking out.
Tongtian twitched his lips. He was truly grateful. This Di Xin was wicked, but he liked him.
This temperament suits him perfectly. Even if they can't be master and apprentice, they can still be close friends!
