After Jiang Dali and Xiong Ba, the two main figures, left Ma Si Town, what the players referred to as the "Blood Rising Huo Family Manor plot" officially ca to an end.
The outco of the battle between these two super bosses, Jiang Dali and Xiong Ba, quickly spread like a whirlwind on the Jianghu Forum.
Even before this battle occurred, players from the two prominent families, the Li Family and the Yun Family, had already taken action, drawing players’ attention. Videos of the players from these two families being slaughtered by Xiong Ba had long since appeared on the forum.
Subsequently, when Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali rode the Fire Phoenix to confront Xiong Ba in an earth-shattering battle, the event’s heat and attention peaked.
Countless posts began to appear on the Jianghu Forum, many of which adopted a pessimistic tone towards the Black Wind Village Chief, with quite a few gloating and adding insult to injury.
For most players, this fierce struggle was not only a battle between Jiang Dali and Xiong Ba but also a clash between two of the most powerful forces in the vassal states.
Ultimately, Jiang Dali seed to have left without gaining any advantage, which to many players, appeared more like Black Wind Village being overshadowed by the World Association.
The leading power among the vassal states seems to have erged.
So players who could not stand Black Wind Village’s rampant behavior previously, now stepped forward to gloat, declaring the end of the Black Wind era.
So players began to speculate boldly, clearly suggesting that the Mixed Martial Arts World was about to start a new Chapter.
The new Chapter would feature Xiong Ba, the overlord of the World Association, with Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali as the boss of the "Black Wind Era," ending with his defeat by the stronger boss, Xiong Ba.
This theory gained traction among many players.
Among them, forr mbers of the Tianyun Guild and Black Slaughter Alliance, whose families were wiped out by the Leshan Branch of Black Wind Village, resurfaced at this ti, rallying to join the World Association.
However, despite the many naysayers, there were also many players loyal to and supporting Jiang Dali.
Most of these individuals were disciples of the Eight Desolates, whose interests were aligned, while so were lifestyle players captivated by his charisma.
After all, players aren’t blind, nor are they lacking intelligence. Over the year-long developnt of the Mixed Martial Arts World, the fact that Black Wind Village Chief grew from an obscure mountain bandit’s Third Master to a super big boss renowned throughout the north and south is an uncommon phenonon.
Looking at the Mixed Martial Arts World, no other hero or bandit can match such terrifying progress in such a short ti.
More importantly, the Four Great Families have not yet announced the discovery of any ancient texts related to Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali, or perhaps they’ve found them but are withholding information due to certain interests.
If that’s the case, considering the ambiguous cooperative attitude of the Four Great Families towards the Black Wind Village Chief, it’s clear they favor him over the World Association’s overlord Xiong Ba, which is a very promising signal.
Moreover, despite being at a complete disadvantage in power realm, Black Wind Village Chief still managed to injure Xiong Ba. If he makes another breakthrough in strength, Xiong Ba might not hold any advantage, and it’s uncertain who will erge victorious.
Considering all these factors, there are still many on the Jianghu Forum who support Jiang Dali, believing in his limitless potential and not clamoring to abandon ship over a minor setback. Instead, most see it as just a minor storm, and they believe that the World Association and Xiong Ba will eventually fall to Black Wind Village, just like the previous power gang and Li Chenzhou.
However, the frightening power Xiong Ba demonstrated, which players at this stage cannot comprehend, has also sparked heated discussions and research among many players.
"Isn’t Xiong Ba the NPC who has showcased the strongest power so far? Goodness, with one roar, he grows a third eye, altering the course of heaven and earth. Even if Wudang Master Zhang ca, he’d kneel, wouldn’t he?"
"I can’t fathom this level of strength. It’s clear that Black Wind Village Chief’s power level is still an entire level lower. Although he also harnessed heaven and earth power during battle, the disparity is evident."
"Xiong Ba keeps talking about Heavenly Will, claiming those who follow it prosper and those who defy it perish. Maybe he pleased the heavens and received a portion of its power as a reward? If I were the heavens, I’d strike down anyone opposing with lightning."
Jiang Dali was currently watching the lively discussions on the forum. So players’ rather wild ideas might have been offhand comnts, but they sparked inspiration in him.
"Xiong Ba is favored by the heavens, explaining his extraordinary ability to induce natural phenona and even receive blessings from the heavens... Although it’s a joke, this might just be the source of life chart power, Heavenly Destiny... Is this the ability to borrow heaven’s power?"
Jiang Dali lifted his head, gazing at the vast and endless vault of heaven.
Endless heaven, how difficult it is for human power to contend against it!?
Yet human potential is also infinite; people are endless. Under certain special conditions, human power can contend against heavenly power. The most typical example is "Shattering the Void," possessing the power to break heaven’s constraints.
Another type of power is what he knows belongs to Feng Yun’s growth—Feng Yun’s synergy, Mahavira’s boundless power.
However, for the ti being, he hadn’t discovered this power within Bu Jingyun’s body, nor did Nie Feng possess it, suggesting it might not be the ti for the two of them to acquire this power yet.
According to the ancient texts he obtained from the families, Mahavira’s boundless power originated from a strong figure in Buddhism, the power of Shaolin Ancestor Dharma, which humans cannot cultivate and perhaps involves nebulous issues like life charts or Zen hearts.
"Damn it. The further I cultivate, the more I realize how much I don’t know! I better imdiately start harvesting profits with all my strength, then combine it with the Breaking Realm Pearl’s power and break through to the Returning to Truth Realm!"
Jiang Dali internally cursed a bit, then, under the protection of Dongfang Bubai and Wan Wan, he took out a Blood Bodhi, consud it, and continued his healing process.
Now, although there are only two dicine Pearls with the juice of thousand-year-old yellow ginseng left, and no similar miraculous holy dicine can be used, the effects of the Blood Bodhi can also be harnessed for healing.
Though the healing effect of the Blood Bodhi is not as imdiate as the juice of thousand-year-old yellow ginseng, it can still rapidly heal severe injuries in the ti it takes to drink half a cup of tea. This recovery also includes a swift restoration of the True Qi within the body.
The only thing to be cautious about is that the Blood Bodhi, after all, is ford from the solidified blood of the Qilin. After the Fire Qilin’s fall, its blood still contains so traces of evil energy and fallen demonic nature. Consuming too much can lead to evil energy attacking the heart, with the risk of transforming into a Qilin Demon.
However, Jiang Dali, confident in his Heartless Extre’s Extre Realm mind, does not worry much about consuming multiple Blood Bodhis.
On the contrary, he is unwilling to consu the Fake Phoenix Blood, which also possesses extrely powerful healing effects. This is because he has noticed that the Fake Phoenix Blood seems to conflict with the trace amounts of Qilin Blood within him, causing him more harm than good.
Ti passes in a blur as he travels and heals.
...
Two days later, with Jiang Dali’s return to the Song Country, he temporarily rests at the sub branch mountain gate near Hangzhou West Lake.
At this ti, as the lights co on, the area around West Lake is filled with Art Houses and private halls, brilliance illuminating the night.
Compared to the scene of endless performances and dances during warti at West Lake, it appears even more prosperous and thriving.
Jiang Dali does not conceal his identity and walks directly into the West Lake Yingchun House, operated by the Yin Gui Sect, causing quite a stir throughout West Lake.
Within Yingchun House, many young gentlen and Martial World heroes who were originally enjoying music and laughter quickly sit up straight, not daring to make a loud noise. They watch with admiration and respect as his majestic figure enters the upper elegant room, only then daring to whisper and converse, their expressions clearly excited and thrilled.
It can be said that in all the vassal states outside the Song Country, even the people of the Ming Country may not dare not to fear the Black Wind Village Chief. Only the people of Song Country love him more than they fear him, which also includes many people of the Martial World.
Jiang Dali sits in the elegant room, taking large sips of tea served by a servant, listening to the joyful laughter outside. Amidst the sounds of strings and flutes, there is a lively and cheerful ambiance, which is quite unexpected.
Everywhere he goes outside, he is often feared. He thought that by coming to sit in this private hall, he would disturb the business of the Yin Gui Sect, scaring many guests into hurriedly paying their bills and leaving.
Unexpectedly, not only did no one leave, but even more people were attracted to Yingchun House, and there were even wealthy guests clamoring to pay the bill for him. This kind of genuine admiration and love from people gave Jiang Dali a unique emotional experience.
"Didn’t expect I’d bring you quite so business?"
Jiang Dali put down his teacup and, with a surprised smile, spoke to Wan Wan beside him.
Wan Wan gave a sweet smile and softly said, "The people of Song have been ravaged by the chaos of war. Chief, you saved them from deep water and scorching fire. People’s hearts are made of flesh, and they naturally know to be grateful to you. Not to ntion that the reparations agreents with the Liao and Jin countries have been signed. All the people of Song feel proud and naturally support you more."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali’s heart was moved, thinking of the many Eight Desolate Disciples who, during the Three Kingdoms War, were willing to betray and provide intelligence, eventually getting captured and thrown into prison. He chuckled softly, "In the compensation agreents with Liao and Jin, did they agree to release those betrayers and allow them to be brought into Song Country?"
This batch of Eight Desolate Disciples, loyal and steadfast, rather betray Liao and Jin to provide him with intelligence. Jiang Dali would naturally not abandon these rare loyal and righteous people among the Eight Desolate Disciples.
Of course, the main point is that once these people reach his territory, it would be easier to develop and cultivate them further.
"Chief, you’re really concerned about these Abnormal People, much more than you care for ," Wan Wan spoke with a slightly resentful smile, nodding, "The agreent has been signed."
"That’s good then."
As Jiang Dali was about to nod, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and a servant said through the door, "Sir, there are a few Abnormal People claiming to be Eight Desolate Disciples seeking an audience with you."
"Hmm? Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears?"
Jiang Dali felt a sudden warning in his spirit, sensing an ominous feeling, as if the world before him subtly turned dark red.
The fractured Breaking Realm Pearl glowed faintly, the injured Yin Yang Two Gods imdiately communicating with the blade, strengthening its connection, sensing a kind of transcendent power capturing and expressing his Qi chanism.
"Thousand-mile Soul Lock?" ...
