Chapter 508: 0411: Demons run amok, grave battle situation! (Guaranteed update, asking for monthly tickets)

The battle within the Ming Country Cold Palace went completely unnoticed by any Players.

And the Ming Royal Family, whether out of reasons too disgraceful to publicize or because the old eunuch utilized his own Energy to cover up the incident,

ensured that the battle, which was capable of shaking the Martial World, didn’t leak even a whisper of rumor.

This also led to two consecutive days passing by, where apart from intensifying reports of battles between the Power Gang and Black Wind Village on the Jianghu Forum, no other news concerning the Black Wind Village Chief emerged.

It’s as if after escaping the Heavenly Prison, the Black Wind Village Chief had completely vanished from the Players’ sight, with no one knowing his whereabouts.

These past two days, what undeniably diverted the Players’ attention frequently away from the Black Wind Village Chief was none other than the powerfully influential Gang Leader of the Power Gang, who commands a great many sects in the Martial World to join forces in Hui Prefecture—Conquer the World Li Chenzhou!

Mighty fists equate to mighty power!

Li Chenzhou was undoubtedly a man who had perfected the use of power and Fist Skill to the extreme.

He ruled Conquer the World and governed with great aspiration.

Since taking over from Yan Kuangtu, the Power Gang aligned a multitude of famous sect masters and Martial Arts Masters to its cause.

It commanded fifty thousand strong, with elite troops and ample provisions.

It also absorbed and reorganized more than thirty major alliances within the Martial World.

It could be said to have founded an unparalleled dynasty in five hundred years.

At present, within the Martial World, sects such as "Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall," "Nangong Family," "Shangguan Family," "Iron Armor Sword Sect," "Blue Waves Sword Sect," "Hainan Sword Sect," "Zhongnan Sect," "Hengshan Sect," "Five Tigers Peng Sect," "Heavenly Ruin Gang," "Wuyi Gang," "Mantis Sect," "Qixia Temple," "Chen State Yan Family," "Snow Mountain Sect," and dozens of other factions, all look up to the Power Gang as the leading authority.

If one were to discuss the influence of their forces, it would span across more than a dozen states.

And with its core control over two states, Song State and Jiangzhou, the foundation was rock solid.

A person with both power and Fist Force, such as him, could undoubtedly look down upon all the heroes.

The Players inside the Mixed Martial Arts World analyzed.

Within the scope known by the Mixed Martial Arts World Players,

probably only Xiong Ba, who established the World Association up north with aspirations to dominate the northern Martial Arts world, could firmly outshine him in both popularity and power.

As for Black Wind Village, despite its rapid rise,

aside from a few strong individuals like Jiang Dali, Shuanglong, and the Xuanming Two Elders, who could rival the Power Gang,

the rest, whether in terms of territory, resources, or the number of experts, all fell short significantly.

Not only were the Players well aware of this gap,

but also the native NPCs, this group of old hands from the Martial World, were acutely conscious of it.

So when Li Chenzhou issued his command,

Hui Prefecture was instantly engulfed in a surge of activity.

Experts from many sect forces like Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, Chen State Yan Family, Hainan Sword Sect, Iron Armor Sword Sect, and others responded to his call,

all rushing to Hui Prefecture to target Black Wind Village.

In just two short days,

the situation in Hui Prefecture had become extremely grim.

The surviving sixteen of the Power Gang’s Nineteen Demons came one after another in a chaotic flurry.

The Eight Kings from the two Guang regions also brought Player troops to attack multiple mountain villages in Black Wind Village, seizing two more in one go, retrieving some morale that had plummeted due to the Black Wind Village Chief’s tricks.

However, the battle had now essentially reached a stalemate.

The Power Gang’s offense was fierce,

but Black Wind Village was no pushover either.

Cangling Master and Thunderclap Hand Cheng Kun, Green and Black Double Killers, Dongfang Jian, and others,

were all experts stronger than the Nineteen Demons.

And Wan Wan as well as Kou Zhong, who returned after mastering his skills under Heavenly Blade Song Que to defend the village, were both easily more formidable than the Eight Kings, with strength surpassing Li Sui Feng, the second-in-command of the Power Gang, by a margin.

As for the high-ranking experts from sects like Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, who came to aid the Power Gang, they were intercepted by a host of Hall Masters and elders from the Black Wind Village ally, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

Thus, although Black Wind Village’s top-ranking experts were few due to its weaker foundation compared to the Power Gang,

its defenses were stronger than enough to make up for it in a siege.

Even though Black Wind Village lost two outposts in two days, it was a deliberate decision made by Jiang Dali, who was well aware of the thinness of his foundation, to gather the troops to defend the other main battlefields.

Once these outposts were abandoned, the Power Gang needed time to digest them.

Before Li Chenzhou and the many allied forces arrived in Hui Prefecture, the Power Gang’s troops found it difficult to take even half a step past the Thunder Pond.

Such changes in the battle situation were entirely within Jiang Dali’s control.

On the surface, it seemed like Black Wind Village was temporarily at a disadvantage,

but only the discerning knew

that as long as the Black Wind Village Chief remained, Black Wind Village was as Solid as Gold Soup and stood unshakeable.

The key to victory or defeat rested entirely upon the shoulders of the Black Wind Village Chief.

"Black Wind Village Chief..."

Li Chenzhou stood on the deck of the ship, with his cloak fluttering wildly in the raging winds above the river.

Beneath him rushed a torrent that amazed the onlookers, and a burning ambition surged within his heart.

Despite knowing the peril of the journey, he was still undeterred and determined to proceed.

"A heart of courage will eternal stay, heroes’ deeds to Heaven and Earth convey. Should I die today, where in this world would my descendants be found?

Ah... Li Gang Leader, oh Li Gang Leader, had you not killed my son, at this critical time when you need people, wouldn’t there be one more helping hand for you?

Looking at the current situation, I see it’s extremely dire, extremely dire indeed, hehehe..."

Just then, a hoarse yet firm voice sounded from behind.

An old man in his sixties with white temples and a gaunt face but a sturdy posture, walked up slowly with hands clasped behind his back.

His demeanor was weary, yet his face held a proud air, as if he once lived through a time of glory.

Li Chenzhou didn’t turn around, his lips curving into a cold, low chuckle, "Mr. Murong, your son met his end at my hand; it’s a grudge between us.

We agreed beforehand to set our personal grievances aside.

The pressing matter now is that you serve me in my conquest, and in return, I will strive for a place for your Great Yan within the Holy Dynasty once successful.

If the matter is accomplished, who fears not leaving descendants in this world?"

"You’re still vigorous despite your age; surely you don’t think you’ve become useless so quickly, do you?"

The elder snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Thirty years for one child, and how many sets of thirty years in a lifetime of a hundred years?

Enough, let’s just talk about the current situation. Don’t tell me Li Gang Leader hasn’t noticed how critical things are at the moment?"

"Are you talking about Dongfang Bubai of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect?"

Li Chenzhou said lightly.

"Exactly!"

Murong Bo nodded, "Originally, in the battle between your Power Gang and Black Wind Village, with my assistance, compounded by the experts from Thunder Hall, Yan Family, Iron Armor Sword Sect, and other such groups who responded to your call, you could have charged straight into the heart of the enemy, unstoppable.

Even for the Black Wind Village Chief, with your strength, you would have been more than capable of handling it.

Regrettably, now the experts of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect have joined the battle to assist Black Wind Village, evidently by the will of Dongfang Bubai.

This number one powerhouse of Hezhou, proudly bearing the title of ’the unbeaten,’ it’s rumored that not long ago He stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm.

Even if you were to take action personally, victory is not guaranteed, let alone with the addition of the Black Wind Village Chief..."

"Heh heh heh heh..."

Li Chenzhou chuckled, interrupting Murong Bo, his eyes glowing as he spoke, "Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Dongfang Bubai is certainly very strong, but in this world, there are those who are even stronger than Him."

"Oh?"

Murong Bo’s eyes flickered briefly, "When you led our gang to attack the ’World Society,’ killing the Jiang brothers who possessed the ’Forget Love Heaven Book.’

That battle was supposed to be extremely brutal, and it was possible that many of your brothers would meet a grisly end.

Yet in the end, you all returned safely.

There are rumors in the Martial World that it was Yan Kuangtu, the former master of Power Gang and a peerless expert, who took action. Could it be that he is the one you’re relying on...?"

When Yan Kuangtu was mentioned, Li Chenzhou’s eyes also slightly narrowed, as if remembering some past events.

But he still shook his head with a smile, "No, it’s not the former Gang Leader, but another person.

I killed your son and drew out you, a man who faked his own death, that’s asking for trouble.

The Black Wind Village Chief killed Li Chimei, how is that not asking for trouble as well?"

"Are you saying... Demon Master Pang Ban?!"

Murong Bo’s pupils shrank, and an inexplicable terror tightened his heart.

...

There are plenty of troubles in the Martial World; if you don’t seek them out, they will find you on their own.

Jiang Dali was actually not someone who often asked for trouble.

But someone who asked for even more trouble was his friend, Lu Xiaofeng.

However, this time, Lu Xiaofeng really did not want this particular trouble.

Unfortunately, trouble had already sought him out and set its sights on him.

To be precise,

The trouble had begun when he first approached Black Wind Village to ask Jiang Dali for help.

Weizhou.

Inside a small lakeside pavilion,

The fragrance of wine filled the air, water murmured gently.

There were three people drinking.

Two of them drank with great gusto.

The third person, however, was drinking with a troubled expression, his four eyebrows appearing unwilling, whether they would hang down or not, he sighed.

"Ah! I, Lu Xiaofeng, am truly unlucky. Why did I have to find you? Why?"

"Knowing full well that you are a troublemaker, I still went out of my way to find you, thinking I was too idle. How foolish I am!"

Though the third person sighed as he spoke, the pace at which he drank did not slow.

Often, with a movement like his mustache-shaped eyebrows, a thin sip of his lips meant a jug of wine was emptied all at once. This sight made Qiao Feng by his side applaud continuously.

Jiang Dali belched after swallowing a mouthful of alcohol and laughed, "Alright, Lu Xiaofeng, stop putting on an act.

Though I have caused you trouble, I didn’t skimp on sharing this alcohol with you.

This is a wine that Chen Guifei from the Imperial Palace once offered me to drink. One sip, and you’ve also now enjoyed its flavor.

We’ve drunk quite enough now; you should settle down."

As Jiang Dali spoke, looking at the empty wine jugs in front of him, he also felt a bit wistful.

Back in the Imperial Palace, Chen Guifei indeed had him drink a cup of wine.

Just that one cup.

It increased his Inner Strength by 200 points.

Late, just before leaving, Qiao Feng did not forget to grab a jug of this wine and carry it away.

Only then were they still enjoying a drink at this moment.

However, the more they drank this unknown wine, the less his Inner Strength increased, the only lingering pleasure being the strong and spicy taste of the liquor.

"This little bit of wine is not enough to make up for the trouble you’ve caused. Later, I want at least five famous wines, each not less than three jin. Only then will I help you with this matter."

Lu Xiaofeng’s mouth formed dimples as he twirled his mustache by the mouth and snorted, "You really are audacious, to have stormed the Heavenly Prison and even stirred up trouble in the Cold Palace. If it weren’t for the battle at the Forbidden Peak happening in two months, and I could still negotiate a bit with the Ming Royal Family, I wouldn’t even consider helping."

"Alright, you’ve scolded me several times now, doesn’t the Black Wind Village Chief deserve some face?"

Jiang Dali waved disapprovingly but then spoke in a solemn and serious tone, "However, our trip to the Imperial Palace this time was indeed extremely dangerous. We encountered a very formidable old monster.

In theory, with such an old monster in the Imperial Palace, the Emperor of Ming shouldn’t have to worry about anything; even Ye Gucheng at full strength should not necessarily be a match for this old monster..."

"What?!"

Lu Xiaofeng’s eyes bulged, but soon he burst into laughter, laughing as if he were a Lu Xiaoji, shaking his head and narrowing his eyes, "Are you joking? Do you think that experts like Ye Gucheng are common in the Martial World?"

However, as he laughed, seeing the serious faces of both Jiang Dali and Qiao Feng, Lu Xiaofeng gradually couldn’t laugh anymore, his eyebrows furrowed, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth disappeared...
