Chapter 571: 468~469: Promoted to a sixth-tier power, cultivating Wang Yuyan (Extra update for 7 monthly tickets)

"The Sweeping Monk of Shaolin Temple, just a common old monk, indeed there are many, but which one are you referring to?"

Xiao Feng was drawn to Jiang Dali’s mysterious and profound words, and couldn’t help but wonder.

He had been an apprentice of Shaolin Master Xuan Ku in his early years, and had spent a considerable amount of time in Shaolin.

Although those were his youthful days, he still had vague impressions and was aware of many situations within Shaolin.

Now, with Jiang Dali bringing it up like this, Xiao Feng was inwardly full of amazement.

For in his eyes, Jiang Dali’s strength had indeed reached a level that shocked and astonished the world.

Those whom he described as "formidable" must be characters that could match the old eunuch in prowess.

Yet the thought that such a figure could hail from Shaolin seemed somehow not so surprising.

"That person has a mysterious origin, but indeed he is an enlightened monk, as open-minded as a valley, unfathomably deep—I even suspect that this old monk has inherited the true teachings of Dharma.

So after I handle the affairs of the Mountain Village, I shall also make a trip to Shaolin."

Jiang Dali’s eyes held a tinge of nostalgia as he drank a bowl of wine leisurely.

Xiao Feng was internally stirred, nodding thoughtfully, "It seems that you believe that old monk will appear and prevent me from seeking revenge on Leader?"

"Indeed, that Leader holds a special status in Shaolin; it’s natural for the old monk to come forward and take charge.

However, if you were to appear at that time as well, the old monk would surely have to consider."

Jiang Dali smiled, "That’s not necessarily the case. As I said, the Sweeping Monk sees the world through a deep hollow, has long been detached from the Martial World and does not easily intervene in worldly affairs, though some things happen due to destiny – those meant to meet will meet."

At this point, Jiang Dali shook his head, "Alright, let’s not dwell on boosting others’ morale while undermining our own spirit. We’ll talk about the matter of Shaolin when the time comes.

Nothing beats a cup in hand! Today, let’s sit down and drink to our heart’s content, thoroughly enjoy ourselves."

"Good, let’s drink! Today we shall drink to our heart’s content!"

Clang!—

The bowls collided, the bubbly liquor surging, its fragrance filling the air.

...

One day later.

Xiao Feng and Azhu had already departed on the Divine Phoenix.

Only Duan Yu, the lovelorn seed, found various reasons to stay behind.

However, what made Duan Yu distraught was that, although Wang Yuyan was now without her cousin Murong Fu,

he still had no chance to grow closer to the lady of his affection.

For him, Wang Yuyan’s happiness and joy were more important than anything else.

He was willing to bear the pain for it.

Yet, how could his inner torment and loss be expressed to outsiders?

Such matters of romantic affection.

Jiang Dali naturally had no time to bother with them.

As far as he was concerned, if Duan Yu wanted to stay, then stay he might.

Just keep out of trouble, remaining as an unobtrusive presence or a temporary tool.

When necessary, with a word from Wang Yuyan, he would be dispatched in a hurry to take care of the matter.

This situation was much like "Your goddess ignores you, yet is obedient to another man’s words; when she commands, you must comply."

Sometimes, thinking about it, Jiang Dali felt Duan Yu was quite pitiable, becoming an unwitting tool person, and approaching eagerly and willingly, far inferior to the tricks of his supposed father Duan Zhengchun—maybe he really did inherit some gene from Duan Yanqing.

Time quietly slipped by in these unremarkable days that lacked any chance to show off.

Three more days passed.

The Lianhuan Dock Water Fort had been completely assimilated by Black Wind Village.

Associated with this, the entire scope of the Yangtze River, including the territories in Jiangzhou and Cangzhou once under the Power Gang, were thoroughly incorporated into the domain of Black Wind Village.

Thus, Black Wind Village truly moved out of Hui Prefecture.

In the domains of Jiangzhou, Hui Prefecture, and Cangzhou, they had obtained absolute influence.

This essentially met the completion conditions for the main quest "Green Forest Tyrant III."

However, what’s disappointing, is that "Green Forest Tyrant III" requires one to become the Zhou Green Forest’s "Grass King" and lead a 5th-tier force to resolve the Holy Dynasty Six Gates’ blockade and suppression of the Hui State Green Forest Force.

Currently, Black Wind Village, in terms of territorial scale, indeed meets the standard of leading the three provinces within its domain.

However, the Luck Index is still insufficient to rise to the 200 points necessary for a 5th-tier force, only having the 80 points gifted by the presence of Shuanglong.

Moreover, with Zhu Xiawu taken down, Song State Government also lacks a capable contender.

This has resulted in the once completed task "Resolving the Holy Dynasty Six Gates’ blockades and suppressions of Hui State Green Forest Force" to re-emerge, signifying that a new crisis has indeed appeared.

So upon reviewing the panel,

Jiang Dali was thoroughly aware that the current state of Black Wind Village was merely superficially glorious, but in reality, due to the rapid pace of expansion, it was fraught with hidden dangers and harbored numerous time bombs.

"The Village’s cohesion is high now, but it is mostly due to the Players’ fervent contributions.

The natives... especially those I coerced or lured into the Village, their sense of cohesion is not strong, and that presents a hidden danger.

Besides, the Village indeed has made a number of enemies; the reason there has been no trouble is that the Village is currently at its peak, and no one dares to provoke it... All these, left for later, are problems indeed."

In a spacious and grand palace, Jiang Dali sat on a high chair with a Flying Dragon Screen behind him, one hand propping his chin, the other tapping the desk in thought.

He looked at another message prompted on the panel.
