Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal - Chapter 1245 - Dimensional War Inspectorate
The flying sword was exquisitely made. The sword handle was brand new and the blade was carved with mysterious pentacles. It was even inlaid with beautiful rubies that sparkled in the darkness.
Li Longfei thought for a while and suddenly froze. Then, he looked closely at the sword body and muttered, “This flying sword is indeed very good, but why do I keep feeling that something is not right?”
“It’s normal to have no scabbard, but I still feel something is wrong.” He thought for a while and suddenly came to a realization. Wide-eyed, he exclaimed, “That right! I know what’s wrong. There’s no killing aura on this flying sword! The killing aura that should be on a flying sword like this is absent!!”
Thinking this, he immediately gritted his teeth and gently nicked his fingers with the flying sword. A drop of blood immediately dripped onto the body of the sword.
“Buzz…” A small sound was heard and the flying sword floated up. This was a sign that it had recognized and acknowledged its owner. There was nothing wrong with that, but Li Longfei realized something—after the flying sword acknowledged its owner, the blood on its blade did not disappear! What did that mean?
“This flying sword was not seized through battle!” Li Longfei was already 80% sure. “If it had fought against the Zerg, there would definitely be traces of blood and gore left on it, but these swords are spotless! That can only mean one thing, these swords have not been used in battle at all!”
Wars and battlefields were cruel. Even if the flying sword was seized during a battle, it was impossible for its owner to die before his blade touched a Zerg, right? If the flying sword did touch a Zerg, how was it possible there was no trace of blood and gore on it?

Thinking up to this point, Li Longfei already had a rough idea in his mind. However, he needed time to verify it.
For the next few days, Li Longfei stared closely at the computer screen every day, waiting to see when Hong Dali would arrange for the Zergs to attack the Cultivators. Finally, early morning one day, Li Longfei saw a large number of Zergs flying towards the Dali Mountain Range on the computer screen. Li Longfei immediately disguised himself as a regular disciple and went to the Dali Mountain Range. His purpose was very simple. He just wanted to see what the Zergs were going to do there.
Soon, he arrived at the Dali Mountain Range. Li Longfei followed the Zerg army, keeping a distance from them.
“There are at least ten million Zergs. That’s a lot!” Li Longfei looked at the overwhelmingly huge number of Zergs and was really shocked. This scene may sound ordinary when described, but in reality, it was rather scary. After all, Zergs had always been known for their numbers. The winds caused by more than 10 million of them moving were enough to scare a timid person to death.
Despite the horror, Li Longfei knew that it was something he had to see with his own eyes. He immediately gritted his teeth and secretly followed.
After crossing the Dali Mountain Range, the Zergs flew straight for another few hundred kilometers. Finally, an army made up of an overwhelming number of Cultivators finally appeared. Tens of millions of them swarmed in the sky.
“So many people!” Just how many people were 10 million? It was almost equivalent to bringing half the entire population of the imperial capital into the sky. They would cover the sky like a huge dark cloud. But seeing the formation of these Cultivators, Li Longfei was a little puzzled. “Neither Hong Dali nor Jiang Shili is stupid. It’s impossible for Hong Dali to send so many Zergs to die, and it’s also impossible for Jiang Shili to send so many Cultivators all at once. It looks like they arranged this all beforehand…”
The more he thought, the more he felt something was wrong. Li Longfei hid in the mountains far away, looking at the two camps in the sky.
Soon, the battle began.
The Cultivators charged towards the Zerg. There were magical flying swords all over the sky. The whole scene was very beautiful, but the more Li Longfei looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. “No, these Cultivators cannot be so weak. Not even a single Zerg has been killed so far?”
It looked like a fierce battle, but not even one of the Zergs all over the sky died. However, Cultivators were getting gobbled up whole, bones and all, by the Zergs.
“In just a short time, half the Cultivators have been eaten?!” Li Longfei was completely dumbfounded. His scalp tingled. “No, no! Hong Dali and Jiang Shili are not fighting. It looks as if they’re trying to send the cultivators away by using the Zergs! These Zergs are not eating the Cultivators at all. Otherwise, it’s impossible for no stray broken limbs to appear at all! These Cultivators are obviously hiding in the Zergs’ stomachs!”
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Li Longfei immediately understood. “Well, well, Hong Dali, you actually dare to collude with the enemy and accept bribes from them. Hehehehe, you’re dead this time!”
Li Longfei had been extremely jealous of the fact that Lei Zhe seemed to value Hong Dali a lot. He had been unable to come up with any plans so far. Now that he knew Hong Dali was colluding with the enemy and engaging in shady deals, he had a handle on him.
“Right now, it seems Lieutenant General Lei Zhe is on Hong Dali’s side. It’s useless to tell Lieutenant General Lei Zhe.” Li Longfei touched his chin and chuckled. “This time, I will report it directly to the Dimensional War Inspectorate! Hahaha! The Dimensional War Inspectorate is under the direct command of the Oracle, even Lieutenant General Lei Zhe has to be humble in front of them! If they know that Hong Dali is colluding with the enemy, there’ll be a good show! I will definitely be rewarded then!”
The Dimensional War Inspectorate, as the name implied, was an inspecting team under the Oracle, put together to oversee the Dimensional War.
In any Dimensional War, if the commander did not fight wholeheartedly or colluded with the enemy, they had the authority to investigate and deal with it. Their methods were swift and they were powerful. Even Lieutenant General Lei Zhe could do naught but whisper when in front of them.
With this thought in mind, Li Longfei returned with the Zergs after their “battle”. The truth of the matter was indeed within his expectations. Those cultivators were not eaten by the Zerg at all. They were hidden in their stomachs. After returning, they were immediately put on board the interstellar spaceship and prepared to be transported away.
Seeing this, Li Longfei was even more certain that Hong Dali was colluding with the enemy under the guise of war!
“Colluding with the enemy on the Dimension Battlefield is a grievous crime!” Li Longfei chuckled. “Hong Dali, just you wait. You’re in for it this time!”
Now that he had conclusive evidence, Li Longfei secretly left Tuka Planet in an interstellar spacecraft and headed for the headquarters of Pengyun Astral Alliance. That was where the Dimensional War Inspectorate Li Longfei mentioned was located!
…
In the command center, Lei Zhe sat not far from Hong Dali. He reminded him. “Dali, although we have reached an agreement with Jiang Shili, you should still be careful. After all, the dimension battlefield is different from other places. Colluding with enemies from another dimension is a grievous crime.”
Lei Zhe did not see anything wrong with Hong Dali’s method. After all, Tang Zhen was there. With his power, if they accepted the Cultivators, it could be considered a good thing. Lei Zhe was the Lieutenant General, a soldier, but he was not bloodthirsty. If he could resolve things peacefully, who would want to send their men to their deaths?
With Tang Zhen heading the group of Cultivators, it was easy to communicate with them. If they did as Hong Dali suggested and slowly and secretly assimilated them, turning them into friends instead of enemies, would that not be a good thing?
The problem was, Lei Zhe thought that it was a good thing. The people from the Inspectorate might not think the same. To the inspectors, there could only be one ending to the Dimensional War. That was, all invaders from other dimensions were to be killed. Not one should be spared!
“Yes, I understand.” Hong Dali nodded. He also knew that it was a serious matter for him to have secretly assimilated these Cultivators. Once the news regarding the Dimension Master and the Heaven’s Chosen One was discovered by their superiors, there may be dire consequences. “I’ll just be as careful as possible, hehe.”
He could only remind him. Lei Zhe nodded and said, “Alright, I will not say more. I believe you have your own ideas, Dali. We’ll leave it first. I will rest now. Let me know if anything happens.”
“Okay.” Hong Dali nodded.
Hong Dali liked Lieutenant General Lei Zhe.
“Dali, what do we do next?” After Lei Zhe left, Tang Muxin held onto Hong Dali’s arm and shook it as she asked, “It’s so boring. Li Yang and the rest have all gone to learn from Tang Zhen. There’s only a few of us left.”
Well, now that those war lovers had all gone to learn martial arts from Tang Zhen, there was only Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, Gu Feifei, and Cutie Ke left with Hong Dali…
“Where shall we go…” Hong Dali touched his chin. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “There’s a good place. Let’s go to the Enjoyment Dimension!” He had not been to the Enjoyment Dimension in a while and he wondered how things were over there, so he was naturally in a hurry to visit.
In fact, Hong Dali also had an idea. He wanted to take Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei to see his real hometown.
En, of course, he couldn’t tell them outright…
“Okay, let’s set off now?” Tang Muxin did not mind as long as it was fun.
“Let’s go now.” Hong Dali summoned the Dimension Door and took the lead with a smile, walking in. “Come on, this is a magical world.”
This visit to the Enjoyment Dimension felt a little different, mainly because Hong Dali had no idea how Tang Muxin would react when she found out that he was actually from this dimension.
Hong Dali soon knew…
“Dali, why does this place look so familiar?” Tang Muxin looked around. They had appeared in the villa that Hong Dali bought in the Water Creek area. The modern household appliances such as computers, TV, refrigerators…
“Where is this place?” Tang Muxin was still a little bit puzzled, but Gu Feifei quickly rushed upstairs as she screamed. “I must hurry and take a look at how my stocks are doing. It’s been a long time…”
After saying that, a sudden, shocking roar could be heard from upstairs. “Damn! What’s this situation in this stock market?!”
