"Did you bring what I asked for?"
Jiang Dali’s words interrupted Ting Shui’s thoughts.
Ting Shui imdiately collected his thoughts, took out a thin book from his pocket, and said, "Here is all the ancient manuscript information we have regarding Wu Ming, Unrivaled City, and God-searching Palace. It’s mostly fragnted, with scattered records, but there’s quite a bit of useful information.
So of these ancient docunts were acquired by our Yun Family through transactions with the other three families.
I want to exchange these materials for three Blood Bodhi and a Third Grade Divine Weapon, as well as the thod for Undying Divine Skill."
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Dali shook his head, looking up with a laugh, and said, "Your Yun Family, aren’t you asking for too much?"
Ting Shui felt slight trepidation in his heart and said, "Our Yun Family has also paid a heavy price to acquire this information from the other three families."
Jiang Dali’s voice turned cold, "Do you know why I’m only trading intelligence with your Yun Family and not gathering all the people from the Four Great Families of Strange People?"
Ting Shui, of course, knew why.
Because their Yun Family has the best relationship with him and is the most compliant, but if we ever beco disobedient, he could easily kick Yun Family away and choose the other major families.
This situation, easily balanced by the other side, is well understood by the upper echelons of the Four Great Families, and they do not wish to be so passively controlled.
However, the benefits of cooperation with this person make it irresistible for the Four Great Families, forcing them to see each other as competitors.
In essence, the Four Great Families appear to be an interest community, yet indeed, they are not a monolith.
"One Blood Bodhi and the thod of Undying Divine Skill; Third Grade Divine Weapon is not a cabbage, there isn’t any."
Jiang Dali said flatly.
Ting Shui sighed inwardly, thinking that the other party held their family’s bottom line very precisely, and then after contemplating for a while, still chose to agree and handed over the recorded ancient manuscript information to him.
"I don’t want everyone in the Martial World to know about my affairs, you should know what to do."
Jiang Dali’s calm and dignified voice entered Ting Shui’s ears.
"I understand. Don’t worry."
Ting Shui nodded slightly, knowing that Martial World people are probably fooled by this person’s fake death news again, wondering which bold fools would be so unlucky this ti.
As he watched Ting Shui quickly leave, Jiang Dali then looked into the distance.
The white clouds drifted leisurely in the sky.
West Lake was calm and wave-less.
He drank the last sip of wine from the jug and opened the ancient manuscript content in his hand, containing fragnts of information about Wu Ming, Unrivaled City, and God-searching Palace.
These fragnted ancient manuscripts, which ordinary Martial World people might not even understand, are not only disjointed, making connections difficult to find, but even noticing so hints, they would find it unbelievable, with few willing to believe them.
But for him, he could use the massive intelligence network he controlled and combine the mories from past and present lives to fill in the missing parts, extrapolating so recorded information from the ancient manuscripts, even potentially predicting the developnt processes of so affairs.
That’s the greatest significance of his cooperation with the families.
Ting Shui provided only a small volu of ancient manuscript information this ti, including so parts about God-searching Palace and Unrivaled City that even Jiang Dali could not fully understand, so even seed baffling.
For example, so nas, like Divine Walk Grand Protector, Sutra King, Beast Heart Ghost, Human Face Envoy, he didn’t recognize at all.
However, he also found so surprising links through Wu Ming’s information and Unrivaled City’s information, gradually organizing and extrapolating so useful information, causing his expression to gradually beco serious.
"In early years, Wu Ming contested Po Jun over All Swords Return to the Sect, fighting in front of Po Jun’s father, Jian Hui of the Sword Sect. During that duel, Jian Hui invited twelve renowned Martial Arts experts of the ti to spectate and witness the match, including Unrivaled City Lord Dugu Yifang...
And Dugu Yifang didn’t want to miss the show, so he arranged for a lookalike, known as Human Face Envoy, to stand guard at Unrivaled City.
Unexpectedly, Jian Hui intervened at the mont Wu Ming was about to defeat Po Jun, favoring personal emotions, using the Rejuvenation Ice Technique to freeze the entire cave, causing Dugu Yifang to be buried there..."
Jiang Dali was slightly astounded, "So, the Dugu Yifang in Unrivaled City now is actually that Human Face Envoy pretending to be him? Why didn’t Po Jun tell this? Doesn’t he know that there was a real Dugu Yifang among the experts present that day?"
Thinking with curiosity, Jiang Dali couldn’t help but beco interested in the Human Face Envoy posing as Dugu Yifang.
This Human Face Envoy appeared solely as a na in the fragnted ancient manuscripts from God-searching Palace, most likely a person from God-searching Palace or soone related.
If that’s true, then God-searching Palace is truly ambitious, having already sent soone to impersonate Dugu Yifang, controlling Unrivaled City.
It’s likely that the spectator invitations of Wu Ming’s and Po Jun’s battle were influenced by God-searching Palace, leading Dugu Yifang to gladly accept the invitation and trustingly allow the Human Face Envoy to impersonate him, willingly falling into the trap.
If my assumptions are correct, the Immortal God of God-searching Palace is indeed as Bai Suzhen said, cunning and devious as always."
Jiang Dali beca alert, recalling the tis he t the fake Dugu Yifang before but failing to recognize the impersonation.
Even Dugu Jian, Dugu Yifang’s own brother, was deceived; the disguising ability of Human Face Envoy is indeed shocking.
But now that he uncovered this secret, even if Human Face Envoy has any plans, it would be hard to fool him.
"Right... Wu Ming went missing after getting injured; perhaps he retreated to Sword Sect to heal? I could inform Lu Xiaofeng and the others to check Sword Sect."
Jiang Dali had a thought, closing the ancient manuscript fragnts in his hand, suddenly cultivating his power on his palm, the thin book imdiately began smoking, and then caught fire, flas rising from his hands, quickly turning the book into ashes.
After doing this, he jumped onto the land temple and went towards the sealed Leifeng Tower.
From the ancient manuscript fragnts provided by Yun Family, he didn’t find anything useful about Bai Suzhen or God-searching Palace.
But the erging Human Face Envoy already exposed the terrifying nature of this force, and the insidiousness and ambition of the Immortal God exceeded his imagination, posing a greater threat than Xiong Ba and requiring vigilance.
This further solidified his plan to ally with Bai Suzhen and eliminate this God.
At the sa ti.
Jiang Dali sent out letters and orders to key figures like Ru Shen and Cangling Master in Black Wind Village, which began to be swiftly and loyally executed by these subordinates.
A task announcent jointly released for the first ti by the top of Black Wind Village quickly appeared on the player panels of Black Wind Village and Eight Desolate Alliance...
