Chapter 378: 0310: Jade Bi’s second visit, Tong Lao’s furious crusade! (Guaranteed update, asking for monthly tickets)

"You have monopolized Wuliang Mountain, driven away Xin Shuangqing and Zuo Zimu of the Wuliang Sword Sect, forcing the Wuliang Sword Sect to leave Wuliang Mountain. However, the Wuliang Sword Sect has long secretly pledged allegiance to Lingjiu Palace. Your actions are very likely to bring hostility from Tianshan Tonglao of Lingjiu Palace, leading to an attack by Lingjiu Palace."

Inside the Wuliang Sword Sect, when Jiang Dali entered the main hall under the watchful eyes of the public, he immediately received such a panel prompt.

Upon seeing this message, Jiang Dali’s lips curled into a light smile, clearly not taking it too seriously.

Even before sending Xu Ziling to attack the Wuliang Sword Sect, he had considered the possible repercussions of taking down the Wuliang Sword Sect.

This included offending Tianshan Tonglao of Lingjiu Palace.

Tianshan Tonglao once, in order to investigate the Wuliang Jade affair, ordered the Shennong Gang to command Sikong Xuan to lead an attack on Sword Lake Palace, only for the operation to fail due to the intervention of people like Duan Yu.

Therefore, to Tianshan Tonglao, the Wuliang Sword Sect was already like a fat piece of meat in her own bowl.

In the memories of his past life, Jiang Dali knew that Zuo Zimu later led the eastern and western branches of Wuliang Sword Sect to join Lingjiu Palace, changing Wuliang Palace to Wuliang Cave.

But now, it seemed Zuo Zimu had already secretly pledged allegiance to Lingjiu Palace during this period.

However, Zuo Zimu probably didn’t expect that, having just resolved the threat of Tianshan Tonglao from Lingjiu Palace, he would encounter an attack from his Black Wind Village.

At this moment, in the spacious hall, Jiang Dali sat in the chief seat, tapping the armrest of his chair with his fingers, listening to Xu Ziling report the details of the conquest of Wuliang Sword Sect.

"So you’re saying, you didn’t leave Xin Shuangqing and Zuo Zimu behind, not because of your incompetence, but because they were too strong?"

Jiang Dali’s face was cold as he interrupted Xu Ziling, his gaze holding a hint of mockery.

Xu Ziling’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had aroused Jiang Dali’s discontent, and hastily organized his language to explain.

Jiang Dali snorted coldly, raised his hand to dismiss the matter, "I don’t want to hear any explanations. I know your strength, and so do you. Whatever you’re plotting, I hope you know it yourself. I don’t want to see things like this happening again."

Xu Ziling’s heart chilled as he bowed in acquiescence, his heart filled with helplessness and frustration, but he shifted the subject saying,

"After Xin Shuangqing and Zuo Zimu fled, many Abnormal People from Wuliang Sword Sect did not run away. Instead, they stayed and voluntarily surrendered, expressing their desire to join the Mountain Village. Their behavior is as odd and unconventional as ever."

At this point, Xu Ziling also felt quite bewildered.

If a large number of Abnormal People without a sect came to join, he could understand.

But these Abnormal People from within the Wuliang Sword Sect, instead of resenting the Black Wind Village Chief who left them homeless, wanted to join Black Wind Village after their territory was snatched away, which is utterly disgraceful and spineless.

In response, Jiang Dali nodded slightly, unsurprised, and said indifferently,

"For now, take them into the Mountain Village. I will take time to meet with them later."

When Black Wind Village had unified Hui Prefecture, it already had the rule of sparing those who surrendered.

Even those who surrendered could pledge allegiance to the village and serve it, learning the Martial Arts of the village.

This led to the current state where most of the manpower in Black Wind Village’s 20 sub-branches actually came from capturing and recruiting defectors.

The players who had joined Wuliang Sword Sect clearly knew this, and after sect leader Zuo Zimu and others were defeated and fled, they smoothly defected to Black Wind Village, probably even self-congratulating on their enlightened switch.

After all, in the eyes of the players, from any aspect, the Black Wind Village that possessed a variety of exclusive skills was more promising than the now defunct Wuliang Sword Sect.

Only, most were unable to choose Black Wind Village in the past due to distance and regional reasons.

Now with the opportunity in front of them, it was quite normal for the players from Wuliang Sword Sect to make such a drastic act of betrayal.

Before, they had no choice, but now they can turn over a new leaf, who needs integrity anymore?

"From now on, Wuliang Mountain shall serve as the most important bridgehead of Black Wind Village in Yunzhou. You will remain here on my behalf, to recruit people and develop the village.

I promised you, if you could take a whole prefecture’s land for me, I’d release you and Kou Zhong. This Yunzhou, is your chance!"

Jiang Dali looked at Xu Ziling with a level gaze, continuing to entice the other with grand promises, while simultaneously warning him not to try any slick maneuvers or cunning tricks.

After conversing for a while longer, Jiang Dali instructed Xu Ziling to recruit the players who had come seeking refuge at the foot of the mountain. Then he waved his hand to dismiss Xu Ziling, crossing his hands under his chin in contemplation.

"Xu Ziling has learned the Undying Seal Technique, clearly, he must have been favored by Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

Now I’m controlling him like this; even if he worries about Kou Zhong’s safety and doesn’t dare seek the Evil King’s help recklessly, once the news of Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali using the Double Dragon Gang to take down Wuliang Sword Sect spreads in the Martial World, Shi Zhixuan is likely to pay a visit."

Thinking of this, Jiang Dali’s mind became wary.

The strength of Evil King Shi Zhixuan was formidable.

However, to threaten him in his current state was also rather difficult.

But if Shi Zhixuan set his mind to save Xu Ziling, that would be troubling and required precaution.

"There are still too few people I can use...

If Tianshan Tonglao comes to cause trouble for me, it might actually be a good thing. The Life and Death Talisman and those controlled by it, heh heh heh..."

With such reflections and amused thoughts, Jiang Dali left the grand hall.

Visiting the old grounds, he headed towards the back mountain of Wuliang Sword Sect.

Along the way, seeing his towering, demon-like figure, the native underlings of Double Dragon Gang were all nervously bowing and scraping.

Some players, on the other hand, excitedly shouted "Village Chief," watching his dangerous, mountain-like silhouette wrapped in black gleams recede, secretly thrilled with the video segments they had just covertly filmed, each boasting on the Black Wind Village section of Jianghu Forum.

Jiang Dali went straight to the great waterfall at the back of Wuliang Mountain, listening to the roaring water below, and looking at the misty, seemingly bottomless chasm, his face revealed a trace of a smile.

Nearly two months had passed since he last came here.

He didn’t know if he could defeat Wuyazi, who was in the same Realm as him when he was in the External Energy Realm.

Now that he was in the Gang Qi Realm and had created several Divine Skills, could he win?

Eager to test his movement technique after consuming the Phoenix Gold Fruit, Jiang Dali let out a long howl, his voice echoing like a dragon’s roar, which drowned out the roar of the waterfall. Then, his Qi Force burst forth, and his body gently rose.

His legs moved slightly, gliding through the sky like a roving dragon, before darting toward the cliff below in an instant.

In almost a straight up and down fashion on the cliff face.

Like a dragon descending, Jiang Dali occasionally needed to catch his breath and brace for landing. He would use the Gecko Wall Climbing technique coupled with the Cloud Dragon Probe Claw move, forcibly inserting his tough claws into the cliff to stabilize his figure.

Then, like a gecko rapidly climbing down again, he leapt, covering more than ten meters in one bound.

After thirty minutes had passed, the sheer cliff, which used to be accessible to Jiang Dali only by eagle, was now easily conquered.

Jiang Dali’s feet landed on the surface of the pool beneath the cliff, making a splash over a meter high with each step. Using the simple technique of Eight Steps to Catch a Cicada, he relied on the force generated by the depression of the water surface to quickly reach the shore and stand firmly.

Turning back, he looked up at the misty cliff overhead and couldn’t help feeling joy and accomplishment after his advancement.

Reflecting on the experience just now, every time he felt his movement technique falter or become unsustainable midair, the True Qi that erupted within him would mysteriously make his body feel lighter.

Or when it felt impossible to catch his breath, the swift circulation of True Qi suddenly allowed him to breathe easily, resulting in perfect continuity, maintaining a longer hang time, or having the strength to propel himself further with True Qi.

Such an experience was something he had never had before.

Clearly, this was the extraordinary effect of the Phoenix Gold Fruit on his body and the condensation of True Qi.

Jiang Dali collected his thoughts and looked across at the Wuliang Jade Bi, then glanced upward at the sky.

It was already approaching dusk, with the Western Heaven showing hints of darkness.

The days in winter darken quickly, and within one or two hours, the thick moonlight should penetrate the clouds and shine upon him.

Jiang Dali was not in a hurry. He sat cross-legged by the lake, smelling the fragrant camellias nearby, feeling the splash from the waterfall hitting his face, and quietly awaited the arrival of the moonlight, when strange changes would occur on the Wuliang Jade Bi and bring forth the Heart Shadows of people like Li Qiushui and Wuyazi.

Meanwhile,

Inside Lingjiu Palace, an urgent secret letter had already been delivered into the hands of a girl, who appeared to be only eight or nine years old, by a maid from the Nine Heavens Nine Divisions.

The girl had a round, rosy face like an apple, very cute but simultaneously serious and authoritative, which was comically incongruent, yet intimidating.

Those serving her were all nervous, holding their breath, not daring to show the slightest disrespect or mockery toward the young girl.

"Read!"

After receiving the secret letter, the girl casually threw it to a maid by her side, ordering coldly.

The maid hurriedly opened the letter, her face changing color upon reading it, but she had no choice but to steel herself and read it aloud.

"Hmph! Zuo Zimu, that failure!"

The girl snorted coldly after hearing the contents, and furiously slammed her palm onto the dressing table.

With a loud bang, the dressing table shattered, and the small jars containing rouge exploded, filling the room with the scent of cosmetics.

Those serving her were so frightened they knelt and continuously kowtowed.

"Grandma, please calm down!"

"Grandma, please calm down!!"

"Hmph!"

Tianshan Tonglao stood up swiftly, her petite figure of only about 1.3 meters exuding a terrifying and domineering presence that made the whole room feel oppressive.

"Let’s see how many nails that Black Wind Village Chief has in his body, daring to tamper with something Grandma has her eye on."

As she finished speaking, Tianshan Tonglao’s gaze turned to one of the maids outside the palace.

"Feng Ying, come in. Grandma seems to remember that you once led an attack on Black Wind Village. Why didn’t you succeed?"

The maid outside promptly walked in; it turned out to be Feng Ying herself, without wearing a veil.

Bowing respectfully, Feng Ying said sincerely, "Grandma, I did indeed lead a group to attack Black Wind Village, knowing that the Black Wind Village Chief was erratic and unusual and hoping to recruit him.

But in the end, we were near success when I and many comrades and friends were killed by the Black Wind Village Chief.

Since then, the Black Wind Village Chief has grown stronger by the day, and even if we wanted vengeance, he’s no longer our match."

Having stayed in Lingjiu Palace for so long, Feng Ying knew that in the eyes of a senior like Tonglao, all clever tricks were simple ruses, insignificant.

The best approach to avoid suffering was to honestly answer whatever was asked; otherwise, there would only be dire consequences.

"Oh? So it seems the Black Wind Village Chief is indeed an extraordinary and peculiar person, with rapid advancements in strength. There must be some fortuitous encounter."

Tianshan Tonglao was a bit surprised but did not take it too seriously.

In her view, a robber leader, no matter how strong, was still just a junior to her. He would be thoroughly suppressed by her superior power and unable to make any splash.

"Order the cave masters of the Thirty-Six Caves and the island masters of the Seventy-two Islands to quickly gather their forces and await my command. Leave immediately for Wuliang Mountain! Take back Wuliang Mountain and capture that Black Wind Village Chief!"
