Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1307: Unexpectedly Gained a Cheap Disciple

”Aika, let’s go.”

Fang Zheng returned to the inn and waved to Aika. Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Aika quickly clicked save, stored her progress, then packed up her laptop and looked curiously at Fang Zheng.

”Father, where are we going?”

”Island of Immortals, things aren’t going as expected, I fear something might happen... prepare for battle.”

Fang Zheng was no fool. After a moment’s thought, he had it figured out. The reason the Black Miao Tribesman hadn’t gone to the Island of Immortals earlier was probably because the island’s formations were particularly effective or restraining against Black Miao, so they used Li Xiaoyao as a scapegoat. Otherwise, with Li Xiaoyao’s tricky amateur skills in the game, he’d have long been dead encountering a large formation. Now, they found a way to push the young tiger forward, probably following a similar pattern as with Li Xiaoyao.

But in any case, if the Black Miao Tribe breaches Shuiyue Palace, it’s all over!

”Let’s go!”

After confirming the coordinates of Shuiyue Palace, Fang Zheng nodded at Aika. He then reached out his hand, and the next moment, the radiance of magic flashed by, and the two of them disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao, who was following Fang Zheng, widened his eyes in astonishment.

”Truly Immortals!!!”

In an instant, the scene before them changed. In the blink of an eye, Fang Zheng and Aika transitioned from the quiet and harmonious inn to a fierce battlefield.

At the scene outside Shuiyue Palace, the disciples of Shuiyue Palace were engaged in combat with a group of Black Miao People. Unlike the two or three isolated cases in the game, a whole horde of Black Miao People, numbering twenty or thirty, had appeared this time. Thinking it over, it made sense. After all, the game only had a few people, how could they wipe out all of Shuiyue Palace’s members?

So in the game, it might have been due to plot needs. Otherwise, look, in the game three Black Miao People could wipe out Shuiyue Palace, even Granny died. Yet, they were wiped out by Zhao Ling’er and Li Xiaoyao who had just practiced swordsmanship for a day, which only shows that Shuiyue Palace was filled with weaklings.

”I’ll go find the BOSS, you handle the small fry!”

”Understood, Father, leave it to me.”

Watching the fierce battle ahead, Aika smiled slightly and nodded, then Fang Zheng charged straight towards the main hall of Shuiyue Palace.

”Father, be careful on your way.”

Watching Fang Zheng leave, Aika obediently bowed, then she looked up again, glancing around at the Black Miao soldiers.

”Modifying the UI has been frustrating lately, I’m in need of a good outlet, looks like you guys will do!”

”Go to hell!”

Just as Aika finished her words, suddenly, a Black Miao soldier appeared from behind her, swinging a blade at her with a roar. However, the next moment, the radiant Luen Runes floated beside Aika, forming intersecting solar beams that easily sliced the Black Miao soldier into fragments.

”Hehehe, is this all you’ve got?”

Looking at the charred remains, Aika squinted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

”Well then... is it my turn now?”

Meanwhile, Fang Zheng had reached the main hall of Shuiyue Palace, and soon, he heard an angry roar ahead.

”Old woman, hand over the princess quietly, and I’ll leave you a whole corpse!”

Soon, another elder’s voice rang out.

”Dream on! You despicable, shameless thieves, I won’t let you succeed even at the cost of my life!”

At this moment, Fang Zheng could clearly see the three people in confrontation at the main gate of Shuiyue Palace. At the forefront was the burly Black Miao Leader, who looked like a typical game mini-BOSS, flanked by two minions. Facing them was an old woman clutching a cane, glaring angrily at them.

Behind this elder stood... yes, a young lady with blue robes and twin ponytails, it was indeed Zhao Ling’er.

”Hmph, old woman, do you think you alone can stop us?”

Seeing the elder, the Black Miao Leader let out an angry shout and suddenly lifted his scimitar, swinging it forcefully at the elder. Soon, a golden Sword Qi whistled forth, streaking directly towards the elder. Facing the incoming Sword Qi, the elder lifted her cane and thumped it forcefully on the ground.

With the elder’s action, a golden barrier stood up immediately, blocking between them. The fierce red Sword Qi smashed directly onto the barrier, yet before the elder could do anything more, the barrier shattered with a sound, and the Sword Qi continued flying towards the elder without pause.

”Granny!!!”

Zhao Ling’er was shocked to see this unfold, yet just as the Sword Qi was about to hit the elder, a ”boom” resounded, followed by a pitch black greatsword wreathed in fiery red flame, soaring in, embedding itself before the elder. The Sword Qi that could tear through a Spiritual Energy barrier vanished without a trace upon hitting the pitch black greatsword. Seeing this greatsword, both the elder and Zhao Ling’er’s expressions changed dramatically!!

”Alright, finally found you idiots who don’t play by the rules.”

Fang Zheng slowly stepped out, coldly staring at the Black Miao Leader before him, then raised his right hand. Soon, the pitch black greatsword leaped up again, returning to Fang Zheng’s hand.

”Tell me, will you die yourselves, or should I send you to death?”

”W-Who are you?!”

Seeing Fang Zheng, the Black Miao Leader was shocked, while Fang Zheng let out a cold laugh.

”Me? I am...”

However, just as Fang Zheng was about to speak, the voices of the elder and Zhao Ling’er suddenly rose, interrupting him.

”Benefactor!?”

”Master!?”

”.........”

Meow, meow, meow?

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was completely stunned. He looked at Zhao Ling’er, who was not far away and both excited and thrilled, and could not understand what was going on. Come on, sister, isn’t this the first time we’ve met in this world? What do you mean by calling me Master? I remember your teacher was the Master of Shuiyue Palace, wasn’t it?!

”No matter who you are, if you dare to interfere with the Master Lord, it’s a dead end!!”

However, just as Fang Zheng was thinking about how to sort out this relationship, he saw that the Black Miao Leader had already roared angrily and attacked Fang Zheng. He clearly realized that this young man in front of him was not an easy opponent, so he didn’t show off like he did when dealing with Granny before. Instead, he waved his hand and charged directly with his two lackeys.

”Wait a minute, I still haven’t figured it out... never mind, never mind.”

Looking at the Black Miao Leader rushing towards him, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. He then stretched out his hand and pointed at the Black Miao Leader in front of him. The next moment, a scorching beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the Black Miao Leader, and then exploded instantly.

Solar Flame Burst!

Poor Black Miao Leader was, after all, just a mortal, unable to withstand a Seventh Level Spell released by a quasi-god. Accompanied by bursts and roars, the next moment he and his henchmen screamed and flew backwards, falling to the ground completely lifeless.

”Master!!”

Seeing the Black Miao People fall, Zhao Ling’er was also excited as she hurriedly ran over and hugged Fang Zheng... Um, come on sister, this development really isn’t right, are we really that close?

”Master, I finally see you again, I waited so long for you... I believed you would come to save us!”

”Oh? Is that so?”

Seeing Zhao Ling’er acting as if she was very familiar with him, Fang Zheng couldn’t really say anything like ”do we know each other?”

”Of course!!”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Zhao Ling’er nodded vigorously.

”Back then, Master, you told me that when we were in danger, you would come to save me, wearing a Golden Armor and stepping on Seven Colored Clouds...”

As she spoke, Zhao Ling’er curiously looked at Fang Zheng’s black shirt and coat...

”Master, this isn’t a Golden Armor?”

”...I was just saying something casually...”

Fang Zheng mostly guessed what was going on by now. He hadn’t forgotten the plot of the first Immortal Sword game; he remembered that Li Xiaoyao once traveled back ten years and had a brief encounter with Zhao Ling’er and the others. But now looking at Zhao Ling’er like this, was it him who had traveled back ten years?

But thinking about it carefully, Lin Xiaoyao turning into a passerby doesn’t seem that strange?

”Hehe, Master is still so amusing.”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s answer, Zhao Ling’er smiled slightly, and then seemed to have thought of something, and once again looked at Fang Zheng.

”Master, do you think I look good like this?”

”Hmm? Of course, very cute...”

”That’s great...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s answer, Zhao Ling’er let out a long sigh of relief.

”Back then, Master, you told me that twin tails were cuter, so I’ve kept them for the past ten years...”

”.........”

What on earth did I say to Zhao Ling’er ten years ago?!

While Fang Zheng was speechlessly looking up at the sky, Aika also walked in cheerfully.

”Father, those people outside have already been taken care of.”

”Oh, thank you, Aika.”

Hearing Aika speak, Fang Zheng also reached out and patted Aika’s little head. Meanwhile, Zhao Ling’er looked at Aika and suddenly walked over to her, kneeling on one knee. She respectfully bowed to Aika.

”This must be Senior Sister Aika, little Zhao Ling’er, pays respects to Senior Sister!”

”.........”

Aika looked at Zhao Ling’er kneeling in front of her in surprise, then blinked and looked towards Fang Zheng.

”Father, what’s going on?”

”.........”

Faced with Aika’s question, Fang Zheng looked up at the sky speechlessly.

You ask me, who am I supposed to ask?
