Chapter 23: 025: Crisis at Black Wind Village

Time passed, and half a day had gone by in the blink of an eye.

After the two members of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency were captured, Jiang Dali immediately sent informants who had been observing the Dragon Gate Escort Agency at the foot of the mountain. They directly informed the Chief of Dragon Gate Escort Agency, Dou Dajin, that Multi-Armed Bear, to come and retrieve his people.

This act was nothing short of a provocation.

It made Second Master, Xiong Ba, feel somewhat nervous and anxious.

However, Jiang Dali remained composed and did not take it too seriously.

He was sitting in the courtyard on a tiger skin pear wood chair, his hands resting on the armrests, sitting upright and motionless, nourishing qi and refining essence, keeping his spine straight, his breath surging to the top of his head, entering a state of contemplation and sharpness, maintaining the vigor of his spirit, energy, and soul.

He had been psychologically prepared for a battle with Multi-Armed Bear, Dou Dajin, and was somewhat looking forward to it.

Even though the opponent was a well-known veteran expert of the Inner Qi Realm, he had only just entered the Inner Qi Realm.

But in the Martial World, victory is not dictated by realm alone.

As long as the gap is not too wide, there are numerous instances of the weaker overcoming the stronger.

Moreover, as a former expert who had entered the Gang Qi Realm in his previous life, Jiang Dali, though currently less powerful, still possessed significant insight.

He reckoned, regardless of recklessness, that he could manage to handle someone like Dou Dajin.

Based on his experience, defeating or even capturing Dou Dajin could likely trigger a certain mission related to the "Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" storyline after contacting the emissary dispatched by the Ru Yang Royal Mansion.

At that time, it would naturally be more convenient for him to exploit the situation for profit.

...

Meanwhile.

A post titled "Black Wind Village vs Dragon Gate Escort Agency" also appeared on the Jianghu Forum.

The poster was none other than the player, Huakai Jianhong.

He had obtained the consent of other players before revealing likely plot-related missions involving Black Wind Village on the Jianghu Forum.

His hope was to draw more players’ attention.

Ideally, it would attract more players to join Black Wind Village.

Thus, their recruitment plan could proceed smoothly with more progress being made and ample rewards being earned.

After the post appeared on the Jianghu Forum, it immediately stirred up significant reactions like a stone causing ripples in a thousand layers of waves.

It should be noted.

This was only the second day of the beta test in the Mixed Martial Arts World.

Many players had just managed to solve their basic survival needs.

A few lucky and capable ones had just started to touch the threshold of joining a faction.

Except for the high-level experts secretly cultivated by the officials, almost no one had accessed any significant faction missions yet.

The explosive news of "Black Wind Village vs Dragon Gate Escort Agency" naturally attracted countless players’ attention.

Black Wind Village thus entered the players’ field of vision once more within two days, becoming a topic of conversation.

This frequency of appearance was even more frequent than some major sects, almost like a stirring stock in the stock market, revealing a glimpse of its formidable impact.

Especially since Huakai Jianhong also posted a video capturing Jiang Dali, the Great Master of Black Wind Village, in action, which thrilled countless viewers.

In the video, Jiang Dali’s figure was as solid and dominant as a small mountain...

The scene where he, after exhibiting the Iron Cloth Shirt technique, forcefully collapsed a wall with a punch that settled the adversary...

Many players felt their blood surge with excitement, crying out to see "frontal footage" and expressing eagerness to ascend Black Wind Mountain to seek adventure.

Ultimately, Jiang Dali’s merciless and brutal scene, where he punched a female NPC causing her to vomit blood viciously,

Struck a soft spot in many male players who had once praised themselves as ’flower protectors’. They were completely awakened, shouting in thrill and expressing eagerness to step forward and help deal the finishing blow.

"Don’t mention anything about Black Wind Village being just a small force the size of a sesame seed — at least they are thriving now. Look at how well the people from Zhongyuan Miao Renfeng are doing now? I heard they have already received and completed three faction missions in just the past day or two, and they are about to become experts of the Power Training Stage."

"That’s right, while we are still miserably struggling with basic needs, they are already feasting and drinking heartily. They might just learn some Martial Arts from that formidable Great Master very soon."

"Brothers, I am currently in Qilang County, just below Hui City, neighboring Mengyin County, and I am already on my way to join Black Wind Village."

"Don’t get too excited too soon. Despite Black Wind Village seeming to thrive, it is clearly in imminent danger.

Evil never triumphs over good. Haven’t you seen that the Chief of Dragon Gate Escort Agency is already preparing to take down Black Wind Village?"

"I think Black Wind Village is about to be wiped out soon, and those Players who joined Black Wind Village will likely perish as well."

"Pssh! What nonsense Chief, I don’t think he stands a chance against the Great Master of Black Wind Village. You skeptics just keep watching. Now is the perfect time to join Black Wind Village. Maybe after they deal with Dragon Gate Escort Agency, they won’t be recruiting anymore."

In the Jianghu Forum, many Players were discussing fervently, each holding their own opinions.

Some were optimistic about the future prospects of Black Wind Village, while others believed Black Wind Village was merely a fleeting sesame-sized force in the Martial World, destined to perish soon and not worth the risk of joining.

At that time, inside Black Wind Village, Players like Zhongyuan Miao Renfeng were both excited and anxious.

They were unsure whether Black Wind Village could win if they really went to battle with the Dragon Gate Escort Agency.

If they lost, then their group, who had just joined Black Wind Village, might indeed face a bad fate.

If Black Wind Village were wiped out, they might become homeless drifters, or even be pursued and killed by Dragon Gate Escort Agency.

...

Time passed, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Soon it was the afternoon.

A pigeon flapped its wings and flew into Black Wind Village, caught by a mountain bandit who took down the message it carried. Upon reading the message, his expression changed drastically.

"Report!"

The mountain bandit immediately rushed into Jiang Dali’s courtyard, bowing down to relay the message, "Great Master, a message from the front lines. Those bastards from Dragon Gate Escort Agency have already reached Su Lin Plain, ten miles down the mountain."

Jiang Dali slowly opened his eyes, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Bring out those two from the prison and tell the brothers to prepare to welcome the guests up the mountain."

"Yes!"

Thirty minutes later.

On the mountain road below Black Wind Village, the sound of horse hooves echoed.

A flag embroidered with the words "Dragon Gate" appeared on the mountain road.

A group from Dragon Gate Escort Agency showed up below the mountain.

The Chief of Dragon Gate Escort Agency, Dou Dajin, rode on a tall horse, wearing a black headgear.

He was in his fifties, with a tall and burly physique, muscular arms, and a commanding appearance. His eyes were sharp and intense, coldly staring at the Black Wind Mountain that resembled a crouching tiger, as if he could see the wary and fearful gazes cast from above.

With a cold snort, he shouted loudly, his voice resonating like a steel wire fiercely thrown into the air, clearly audible to those inside the mountain.

"Chief Dou Dajin of Dragon Gate Escort Agency is here to pay respects. Is the current village chief Jiang Dali of Black Wind Village present? Why not come out and meet?"

This shout immediately stirred up the entire Mountain Village.

A group of Players bustled around like ants in a heated pot, rushing to the cliff edge only to see the group on the mountain road below that was clearly formidable.

One name in particular seemed almost to darken to purple-black in their eyes, signifying an extremely high level of danger.

"Shit! This expert’s name is as dark as purple-black!"

"It’s over, it’s over. Can our chief even match him?"

The Players suddenly became panicked, their hearts pounding.

Even their village chief’s name was only turning from green to purple, while the chief of Dragon Gate Escort Agency was already darkening to purple.

This was not a good sign.

At that moment, Jiang Dali, also surrounded by mountain bandits, walked over, and a group of Players quickly made way.

From his elevated position standing by the cliff, Jiang Dali looked down at the group on the mountain road below, his gaze particularly lingering on Dou Dajin for a moment. He chuckled lightly while channeling his Inner Qi to speak loudly.

"If the Chief truly comes with sincerity, why not come up the mountain for a chat? Your daughter and disciple have already been our uninvited guests and have rested here for quite a while."

"Well done, Black Wind Village! Well done, Black Wind Village Chief!"

Dou Dajin’s face darkened slightly, straining his eyesight to focus on the imposing figure appearing atop the mountain, feeling both angry and surprised.

He had previously heard of Black Wind Village.

The strongest were nothing more than the Gathering Power Realm’s Xiong Ba,—not worth his attention.

Who would have thought Black Wind Village would dare to rob his agency’s goods and now even had the audacity to be insolent.

But now, seeing Jiang Dali speak, Dou Dajin realized where Black Wind Village’s confidence came from.

A minor expert in the Inner Qi Realm, capable of capturing Hu Ling and even his daughter disciple indeed has the right to be defiant.

But targeting him, Dou Dajin, was certainly a mistake...
