After they were all driven away, Zhang Ning snorted coldly, then landed in front of Zhang Tianle and handed him back the Haoran Ruler: "What are you doing back here? Is this a place for you? Go back."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger again, about to press his apprentice back down.
"Master! Wait!"
Zhang Tianle quickly called out to Zhang Ninghe.
Zhang Ninghe paused, looking at him.
"I have something to ask you."
Zhang Ning sighed, "There are some things I can't tell you. Go back. This is not something you can get involved in."
Even if Zhang Tianle didn't say it, Zhang Ninghe could guess it.
At this moment, Zhang Ning's gaze towards Zhang Tianle was filled with complex emotions.
He truly never imagined that his apprentice would one day reach this point.
He went further than he had imagined.
Everything he did back then was worth it.
"Why are you here? Kneeling before Him?" Zhang Tianle pointed at the faceless statue.
"Don't be rude!" Zhang Ning frowned. "This is none of your business. Any other questions? If not, go back."
Zhang Ning didn't want his disciple to get involved in the affairs of the Demon God Realm.
This matter only requires his participation.
This was also part of the deal he made with certain entities back then.
"Master, I want to get you out of here. Please come back with me. I..."
Before Zhang Tianle could finish speaking, Zhang Ning smiled faintly and said, "I think I'm doing quite well now. Don't you think so, my good disciple? I could never have reached this level in my entire life, but now I've achieved it with ease. I can annihilate powerful figures with a mere gesture; this is a level I could never have imagined before."
Moreover, with just one glance, I can see through a person's past and future, a power that our line of work dreams of.
Now that I have it, how could I possibly go back with you? Child, don't be silly! How could I possibly give up everything!
Zhang Tianle frowned and looked at Zhang Ninghe.
It seems they wanted to find the shadow of their former master in him.
Except for the moment when his master was worried about him at the beginning, Zhang Ninghe at this moment no longer resembled his master in any way, except for his appearance.
“Go back! I’m fine! Also, tell your junior sister not to wait for me.” Zhang Ning waved his hand, and a sword appeared, landing in front of Zhang Tianle: “This is the sword she gave me before, and I’m returning it to her now. Tell her that she is now a member of Qingxia Ancient Temple and no longer a member of our Great Dao lineage, so please ask her not to bother the Great Dao lineage anymore.”
As Zhang Ning spoke, his clothes turned white, and his whole body emitted a faint white light.
At this moment, he seemed to be affected by the ruthless divinity within him, becoming cold and indifferent.
Zhang Tianle stared calmly at Zhang Ninghe: "Master, are you serious?"
Zhang Ning smiled faintly: "Do you think what I said is false?"
The white light emanating from Zhang Ning became even more dazzling, and his divine aura became even stronger.
As Zhang Ning spoke, he pointed a finger at Zhang Tianle: "Our master-disciple relationship ended the moment I died. Don't come back. What awaits us now is probably a war."
A door flashing white light suddenly appeared behind Zhang Tianle.
Before he could react, a powerful suction came from inside the door and pulled Zhang Tianle inside.
Before being sucked into the door, Zhang Tianle's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ninghe. This time, Zhang Tianle did not struggle or shout anything else.
He just stared at Zhang Ning quietly, without saying a word.
Soon, Zhang Tianle was completely sucked into the door.
The door closed.
Before the door closed, Haoran's ruler was thrown inside.
Before the ruler flew out of Haoran's hand, it asked, "Why did you do this?"
Zhang Ning said calmly, "He shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. Our Great Dao lineage has already sacrificed enough for the common people. My generation has sacrificed enough."
The words fell.
The door closed.
The divinity emanating from Zhang Ning completely dissipated, and he floated down onto the lotus flower.
His gaze was fixed calmly on the faceless statue: "You promised me, don't forget."
"Your apprentice is more talented than you."
A merciless yet powerful sound exploded in the surrounding space.
The voice boomed like thunder, shaking the entire space, and the words came from Zhang Ninghe's mouth: "If we use him as the Dao Body, the success rate will rise to 100%."
Zhang Ninghe said this with a blank expression.
"If you dare to do that, the fish won't die, but the net will definitely break." Zhang Ning chuckled, "If you dare, go ahead and try!"
This time, Zhang Ninghe's expression once again turned ruthless.
But at that moment, he didn't say anything.
It seems he's also weighing things up.
In the end, he smiled faintly and said nothing.
The next moment, Zhang Ning shuddered, and his eyes regained their clarity.
He glanced at the spot where Zhang Tianle had disappeared with a complicated expression.
The reason he repeatedly drove Zhang Tianle away was to prevent him from having too much contact with the Heavenly Dao.
Because the more he comes into contact with the Heavenly Dao, the more marks the Heavenly Dao will leave on him.
Once you've been marked too many times, you sometimes lose control of your own destiny.
The current Heavenly Way will calculate based on the completeness of the plan, regardless of anything else, as long as it benefits their plans.
He can still counterbalance the Heavenly Dao, and thus still keep it in check.
In fact, he now has some doubts about things that happened a thousand years ago.
It was truly because all the gods and immortals of the Pangu Realm sacrificed their own interests to prevent the collapse of the Pangu Realm, that they all transformed into the Great Wall when the God and Demon Realm invaded, to protect the people of the Pangu Realm and to give back to the Pangu Realm.
Is all of this really true?
Zhang Ning was no longer sure if the matter was true or false.
To be precise, what role does the Heavenly Dao play in this?
"You have quite the nerve."
Just as Zhang Ning was thinking about these things, his expression turned expressionless again, and he uttered a cold and ruthless rebuke: "Don't think too much about things that aren't your business. Get those filthy thoughts out of your head."
Zhang Ning chuckled lightly: "So you're scared? Or rather, did I touch on something I shouldn't know?"
The more he aligned himself with the Way of Heaven, the clearer his thinking became.
So the way of Heaven isn't so impartial after all, is it?
There must have been selfish motives involved, right?
Or rather... is the current Heavenly Way still the Heavenly Way?
As Zhang Ning's thoughts wandered, his expression grew increasingly indifferent.
