Since Po Jun was seriously injured and fled, his movents were witnessed firsthand by players who ca to watch after hearing the news.
Although the players eventually lost track of him, so posts on the Jianghu Forum still recorded videos of Po Jun’s hasty escape.
This type of recorded video was clearly just taken by players who happened to be passing by and fild out of curiosity.
But now it has beco one of the thods Jiang Dali uses to track Po Jun.
However, there is another minor incident on the Jianghu Forum that caught Jiang Dali’s attention.
It turns out that the players who earlier coveted the Fire Qilin Sword and Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom were resurrected near the City God Temple in Hangzhou City after being taken out by him.
Among these players, the one who died at his hands imdiately posted a video on the forum titled "Black Wind Village Chief Breaks His Promise, Forcibly Steals Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom and Refuses to Give Rewards."
This type of headline instantly attracted a lot of attention from curious players.
The video clearly shows Jiang Dali appearing and ruthlessly killing soone to take their items, evoking sympathy and indignation from many players.
This is the first incident where the Black Wind Village Chief failed to deliver mission rewards and directly stole mission items, which quickly beca a major event, spreading rapidly on the forum.
Many instigators took the opportunity to fan the flas, increasing the incident’s heat and controlling the narrative.
As a result, by the ti Jiang Dali saw the incident, it had already turned into a scandal with many players angrily criticizing him.
This obviously began to shake and influence his status in the minds of players, damaging his core appeal to them.
For players, mission rewards are their lifeline.
In the Mixed Martial Arts World, there have been NPCs in the past who issued missions but reneged on rewards.
These NPCs were inevitably blacklisted by players, labeled as unreliable, and included in the players’ "Untrustworthy NPC List," unwelco by the community.
Jiang Dali, the NPC role of Black Wind Village Chief, was adored by players because he often issued missions and was affectionately known as "Devil Muscle Task Man" and "Task Muscle with No Emotion."
Furthermore, Jiang Dali was known for tily and generous rewards, which established him as a reputable NPC.
Being exposed now as untrustworthy amounts to ruining his image, naturally stirring up a controversy and causing players to worry about their personal interests.
The forum was suddenly filled with various ssages, becoming quite a spectacle.
Seeing this, Jiang Dali couldn’t help but feel furious.
After days of cutting players’ leeks, he was unexpectedly tripped by a wild leek.
Although the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom was indeed a mission item he posted, it was already considered his spoils of war at the ti.
The player not only attempted to take the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom but also tried to take the Fire Qilin Sword; this amounted to attempting to take from the mountain bandit king, and naturally, he was severely punished.
However, after being uploaded and edited by players, it ford a poor image of players finding the mission item but instead getting murdered without rewards.
Jiang Dali clamped his legs around the horse’s belly, kicking the stirrups heavily, causing the horse to neigh in pain and speed up.
Following behind, Tie Kuangtu felt bewildered, vaguely sensing that the village chief’s mood seed suddenly very angry, but he couldn’t figure out exactly why, making him even more cautious and wary.
Various solutions flashed through Jiang Dali’s mind, but none were convenient to implent.
After all, with players causing trouble on the Jianghu Forum, he couldn’t personally step in to teach them a lesson.
Even ordering the brothers in the mountain village to issue the Black Wind Seven Killings Order would only escalate the matter further during a ti of negative public opinion.
While contemplating, an unusual post suddenly surfaced, and in the embroiled debate on the Jianghu Forum, it stabilized the storm like a "stabilizer," silencing all discussions.
Soon, the content of the post caused a sensation, with its heat beginning to surge, attracting a large group of players to gather and watch.
Jiang Dali curiously opened the post to check.
He found the poster claid to be a Huashan disciple, posting only to expose the true character of the players defaming the Black Wind Village Chief, clearing his na.
Subsequently, another video from a third-party perspective began playing within the post.
This video detailed the latter part of the intense battle witnessed by a group of players when Black Wind Village Chief fought with Po Jun and others in a courtyard.
As the fight ended with deaths and escapes, the group of players set their sights on the remaining treasures like Divine Weapon Fire Qilin Sword in the courtyard.
So, with courage inflad by wickedness, they ford a plan to enter the courtyard and loot the Divine Weapon Fire Qilin Sword and Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.
Once achieved, this group of individuals would undeniably beco the first in the player community to effectively loot.
However, before the plan was implented, this Huashan disciple worried about retaliation from the Black Wind Village Chief and due to his true identity as a legitimate Eight Desolate disciple, didn’t want to engage in betrayal with disproportionate risk and reward.
Thus, he decisively backed out of the plan, unwilling to risk getting trapped, and thereby was abandoned by the group.
Originally, this matter would have ended here.
But seeing the group of companions furious at getting nothing, they began attacking the Black Wind Village Chief on the forum.
Knowing the truth, the Huashan Eight Desolate disciple felt even more panic, fearing being dragged into the pit, so he proactively stepped forward, posting the alternative video he recorded from a third-party perspective.
After this version of the video was released, it imdiately changed many players’ previous perceptions.
Especially the detailed account in the video of the intense battle between the Black Wind Village Chief and Po Jun and others, it further proved the authenticity of Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom being the spoils of the Black Wind Village Chief.
And finally, when the Black Wind Village Chief returned to the courtyard and saw a group of players daring to pick up his spoils, he naturally beca furious and started a killing spree.
Especially the words shouted with resentnt by the last killed player, "Don’t think that just because you are the Black Wind Village Chief, I’m afraid of you! Look what’s in my hand? Isn’t this the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom you’ve always wanted? If you dare to kill , I will..."
This sentence in the original video was obviously handled, the sound almost inaudible.
Many people had initially just seen the player say a few emotional words before getting killed by the Black Wind Village Chief. Influenced by preconceived notions, most sympathized with the weaker side and naturally believed that the Black Wind Village Chief really reneged on the task’s reward and then brutally murdered.
Now, seeing the complete spectator video, they saw the person’s true nature. Imdiately, under this post, many players who were deceived and used felt humiliated and angry, harshly criticizing.
Many players who previously misunderstood also vented their anger in the comnt section below.
In an instant, the comnt section was bustling, and the previous posts slandering Jiang Dali were also taken over by the angry forum players.
The player who posted to gain sympathy and slander Jiang Dali was quickly doxxed. His exact location was traced to a teahouse near the City God Temple in Hangzhou City, and imdiately, many angry players in Hangzhou started going there for revenge, without Jiang Dali needing to worry.
...
"Who dares to slander the Black Wind Village Chief? His na even has the word ’black’ in it! A Green Forest Black Road underground emperor, who else but the sun can slander him? Besides, what’s wrong with mountain bandits really robbing and killing?"
"The Purple Dragon Guild in Hangzhou City requests to join the battle, brothers online, imdiately gather at the teahouse near the City God Temple in the west city, let’s beat up these bastards."
"I really didn’t dare to look at all the overwhelmingly posted threads just now, I cried for three minutes. I didn’t know what we players did wrong by taking the Black Wind Village Chief’s stuff. He only made a mistake that everyone made, you don’t even know how heartbroken I just was, looking at all those posts, my heart almost shattered, afraid he would just die a few tis so easily."
"The 40-ter-long broadsword I just borrowed from the Grandmaster almost couldn’t be restrained. It looks like we’re all family with the Eight Desolate Disciples! Now soone dares to slander our Grandmaster? Just beating them up is too light, throw them into the Black Prison at the Black Wind Village to serve guests!"
"I see these guys are getting closer and closer to eting their end!"
"Who posted this truth video? Can they be trusted or not?"
"Don’t worry, brother, the one who posted the video is not only an ally, but has also started self-punishing. Didn’t you see the end of the video where he said he’s at the west city gate, letting us go and kill him for entertainnt! Quite reliable!"
"Is this Huashan disciple so brave? So fierce, is he not afraid of retaliation?"
"Afraid of jail! Black Prison at Black Wind Village warning! Currently, so experts of Black Wind Village are already on their way there. Brothers, let’s go, find so fun at night!"
Jiang Dali, riding on horseback, watched leisurely along the way. In the end, he saw a potential crisis of public opinion being resolved by enthusiastic players organizing spontaneously, a storm in a teacup, really made him angry for nothing.
Especially the way this situation turned around, it was the initial allies of that player group who delivered a backstab divine assist.
Even that group of players probably didn’t expect to lose so confusingly.
"Didn’t expect such a righteous and understanding good player in Huashan, probably also a deeply hidden Eight Desolate Disciple, well done, let see what his na is..."
Jiang Dali carefully looked at the Huashan disciple whose nickna was Drunk Green Robe, seeking forgiveness and asking everyone to kill him for entertainnt, and couldn’t help but be taken aback.
It turned out to be a player familiar from his past life.
The other party was also one of the earliest players in the Mixed Martial Arts World during its initial testing phase, and now to see him faring so poorly was truly beyond Jiang Dali’s expectations.
Secretly noting this person’s rit in his heart, Jiang Dali breathed a sigh of relief, exited the Jianghu Forum, and instead focused all his energy on using spiritual sense to track Po Jun’s movents.
Though he had been multitasking just now, observing forum activity while using spiritual sense to track Po Jun’s actions, he didn’t scramble at all.
This ability, having cultivated True Qi to The Leader of the Six Suns and developed his brain, was essentially nothing to him.
Thus, following the trail all the way, he took each step on a path subtly sensed as correct.
At this mont, the night was dark and the wind was high, the dusk spread like water, vast and indistinct, under the fast galloping of hooves, the surrounding mountains, rivers, and forests quickly receded, like being covered with a gray veil.
Soon, a row of dark woods appeared ahead.
Jiang Dali suddenly received a tremor in his spirit.
He imdiately pulled the reins, "Woah," the horse beneath him, just about to rear up due to inertia, was forcibly pressed back to the ground by the weight exerted when Jiang Dali squeezed its flanks.
Bang! ——
He dismounted, entered the dark, deserted woods, and suddenly, under the gleam of Tie Kuangtu’s gaze, laid his body on the ground to listen for a while. After estimating, he walked to one side of a tree and struck it with a powerful palm, instantly shattering the soft soil.
Suddenly, a human face appeared in the soil, handso and arrogant, none other than Po Jun himself?
However, Po Jun’s face was pale as paper at this mont, eyes tightly closed, face dusty, nostrils and ears tightly sealed, evidently in a false death hibernation state, trying to muddle through while preventing further deterioration of injuries...
