Jiang Dali's gaze flickered slightly, "Did you get this information from higher up? Do you know who from Dragon Gate Escort Agency has co? What exactly did they say up there?"
Seeing his composure, Xiong Ba felt sowhat embarrassed and calmly said, "Yes, our superiors are the Li Family of Hui City County, a prestigious wealthy household. It's always the Li Family who instructs us on what to do.
In return, for many years, Black Wind Village has never been besieged by officials, and the local powers know our background too and don't dare provoke us rashly. The Li Family also often provides us with weapons, money, and other resources.
What we need to do is to take on tasks issued by the Li Family, handling matters that are inconvenient for them.
Originally, only I and the second-in-command knew about this arrangent.
Now that you are in charge, I must of course inform you.
This task commanded by the Li Family, we took it on tough last ti, and now it has paid off, as we're dealing with the Dragon Gate Escort Agency."
Jiang Dali replied, "What's there to panic about? Didn't I play the lead role last ti we faced the Dragon Gate Escort Agency? Now that I'm in charge, they would have to co to first."
Xiong Ba's old face reddened upon hearing this.
Indeed, last ti it was he and Life-stealing Scholar who were dishonorable, neither daring to defy the Li Family's orders nor willing to offend the Dragon Gate Escort Agency too grievously.
Thus, such deadly offensive tasks were bravely undertaken by Jiang Dali, while the two of them happily took credit without facing risks.
Xiong Ba nervously said, "This ti, the person from the Dragon Gate Escort Agency is Chief Dou Dajin himself. Though Dou Dajin is only an expert of the Inner Qi Realm, he is known as Multi-Ard Bear, possessing considerable skills in fists, palms, and saber as a Shaolin lay disciple, particularly adept with his Linked Steel Darts, able to fire forty-nine steel darts in one breath.
Damn, I never expected the chief of the escort agency to personally step in. The goods we looted last ti were rely a batch of precious herbs, was it worth such a huge fuss?"
"Multi-Ard Bear Dou Dajin," Jiang Dali heard this and his expression also turned grave.
Although in the mories of his previous life, Dou Dajin was just a very marginal minor character in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, who died early.
But if one were to delve deeper, this person was still a Shaolin lay disciple, indeed a pivotal character who ignites the plot developnts in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
In his previous life, the destruction of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency directly affected the entire martial world, leading to the involvent of the two covertly opposing sects, Shaolin and Wudang, while Skyhawk Sect added fuel to the flas, plunging the martial world into a whirlwind of bloodshed.
And within all these events, there were so shadows of the Ru Yang Royal Mansion.
So, although Dou Dajin was just a lesser expert of the Inner Qi Realm, he was by no ans simple for those supre experts of the martial world.
Seeing Jiang Dali's grave expression, Xiong Ba reminded, "Our superiors have signaled that soon they will send an expert to assist us, and we need not panic excessively. However, that expert from Hui City County will surely arrive later than Dou Dajin."
"Sending an expert?"
Jiang Dali pondered and nodded slightly, waving his hand.
"Since it has co to this, Dou Dajin has already arrived, and we cannot be intimidated. Let's draw the line and face it."
Thinking that the other party might only arrive in two days and that players were already present, Jiang Dali wasn't too panicked.
As long as he made good use of the players, even with an interval of a day or two, he could rapidly enhance his strength.
In this martial world, although the levels of realms are important, what matters more in combat is the proficiency of martial arts.
However, the original plan was definitely to be changed now, as Dou Dajin's arrival had disrupted so of Jiang Dali's rhythms.
After dismissing Xiong Ba.
Jiang Dali imdiately prepared to instruct soone to relay the next plan to the mountain bandits who had descended the mountain.
However, as soon as he called soone over, he saw the person frantically run towards him.
"Great Master, there's trouble! So formidable foes have injured many of our brothers down the mountain."
"Hmm?" Jiang Dali was taken aback. "What happened?"
"It was Hu Ling, the master of Hu Family Martial Arts Hall from ngyin County. Our brothers were roaming near ngyin County when they encountered so new faces you told us to watch out for. They actually had the audacity to attack our brothers.
So our brothers struck back, killing so of them. Who would have thought these supposedly dead fellows would co back to life, bring Hu Ling with them, and injure many of us, and they have even tied up our people and are still down the mountain."
The mountain bandit spoke very fast and trembled as he spoke, especially when talking about the players coming back to life, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Jiang Dali was also aware that these locals were not yet accustod to the peculiarities of the players.
In his previous life, the special ability of players to resurrect indeed terrified many of the locals.
At that ti, so high-level experts from the Evil Sect specifically targeted the players' immortality, capturing a large number of players to cultivate their evil skills, and so experts even secretly captured players for experints on immortality.
Soon, however, the locals figured out the players' weaknesses, knowing that although they could not die, they would weaken significantly with each death, which sowhat reassured them.
"Co, let's have twenty or thirty people follow down the mountain to check it out."
Jiang Dali acted quickly and decisively, grabbing the Golden Back Big Ring Saber and striding towards the mountain base.
Imdiately, a group of mountain bandits followed, shouting and cursing nacingly as they descended.
"Brother, why trouble yourself with such a minor issue? Let handle it."
Second Master Xiong Ba was very obliging, and upon hearing the news, imdiately ca over with the Drumming Golden Hamr.
"No need, I'll go myself. You and the other brothers stay up here and guard the village to prevent anyone from sneaking up," said Jiang Dali.
Xiong Ba suddenly realized, "Yes, we can't fall for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain."
The group rushed down the mountain, and as they reached the foot of the mountain, they could already see a faint light and hear so of their brothers screaming for rcy.
"Hehehe, these mountain bandits were so arrogant when they bullied us, but now, they are being taught a lesson by Master Hu like stray dogs."
"So people on the forum suggested I join the mountain bandits, but now it seems joining the martial arts hall has a more promising future."
"It's Master Hu Ling who's impressive, even allowing so bandits to go and call for reinforcents. This isn't diamond-cut porcelain business, Master Hu must be confident in thoroughly teaching these scoundrels a lesson."
"There'll be a good show to watch. If the bandits' boss cos down, he'll surely be beaten to a pulp."
On the trail, ten players were watching the scene of the pleading bandits with satisfaction, trying to curry favor with Hu Ling, the martial arts hall master, who stood like a tower with his arms crossed.
At his side, about ten martial arts academy disciples were gathered, so excited and so nervously agitated. One female disciple heard the shouting from the mountain and looked anxiously at Hu Ling.
"Master, it seems like quite a few people are coming down from the mountain. I've heard that Black Wind Village has three very powerful Masters. You—"
With a slight self-assured smile on his tough dark face, Hu Ling reassured, "You'er, don't worry. Your master wouldn't dare co if he wasn't prepared.
As you've heard from these bandits, today Black Wind Village is in a state of upheaval, changing leadership to a new and inexperienced leader, and the Second Master is dead.
Today, your master intends to admonish these evildoers who do nothing but villainy every day, to let them know that ngyin County is not a place for these vermin to wreak havoc..."
"Clap, clap! — Clap, clap—"
Just then, a round of crisp applause ca from the mountain path followed by a loud male voice,
"Well said, I, Jiang Dali, am here to see what kind of formidable person can co from this tiny place in ngyin County to take on?"
