"The temporary hidden mission you issued to Players led by "Don’t Move" to conceal the Master of Tyrant Hall and other prisoners has been completed. Player "Ting Shui" along with NPC Wu Lie, Wu Changchun, and others have been transferred into the secret passageways of the Mountain Village. Players like "Don’t Move" have voluntarily committed suicide, and the prisoners’ location has not been disclosed. Shall we proceed with the rescue and issue the rewards?"
Jiang Dali, although smiling, displayed a hint of perplexity on his face.
Seeing the prompt that Players like Don’t Move had been captured by a mysterious entity, he had guessed that Tyrant Hall must have made their move at this ti.
But the fact that the players had chosen to commit suicide was quite intriguing, indicating that the enemy was terribly fearso, forcing the players to take their own lives to evade capture.
As for who the enemy was, he truly had no idea.
Earlier, when Lu Xiaofeng arrived, he had sensed trouble brewing and discreetly issued a temporary hidden mission to his loyal Players (see Chapter 151).
Now, the mission prompt had arrived, proving there was still a hidden enemy.
The Black Wind Village was a target for trouble, and it seed that the enemies with new grudges and old vendettas had all co to settle their scores together.
However, it was clear that Tyrant Hall had also learned to be smart by changing their strategy, opting to stealthily rescue Ting Shui instead of sending experts to directly confront him.
Jiang Dali went on the Jianghu Forum to check.
He noticed that loyal Players led by Don’t Move had not left any ssages on the Black Wind Village section of the forum.
This was expected; after all, the mission he had issued was a secret one, so it was natural for Players like Don’t Move not to make it public on the forum.
Even if they had communicated on the forum, they would have created private threads with access restrictions.
As a visitor, he wouldn’t be able to enter those threads.
"Issue the rewards, and increase the goodwill reward by 200 points along with the opportunity for priority learning of new techniques. Each person will be rewarded with 3 Silver Taels, to be distributed by the accountant."
Jiang Dali logged out of the Jianghu Forum, generously increasing the reward distribution.
Goodwill was just a number, after all.
He could give more of it when he felt generous, with the only significant cost being the Silver Taels.
After attending to this matter, Jiang Dali promptly took out High-quality Jade Dew Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills, peeling off the wax coverings and consuming them.
Instantly, his Qi-Blood, which had fallen to fifty percent due to the full-force release of the Nine Yang Marrying Robe, began to slowly recover, as did nearly sixty percent of his depleted Inner Qi.
With Qi-Blood as robust as his, ordinary Jade Dew Pills that could at most restore about 150-230 Qi-Blood were no longer of much use to him.
Even the High-quality Jade Dew Pills that could restore about 370-520 Qi-Blood were only just adequate.
Frequent consumption of such dicinal pills could even lead to resistance, rendering the Qi-Blood recovery effects variable, contingent on his state at the ti of consumption.
Feeling sowhat better, Jiang Dali suppressed the turbulent and intense Inner Qi within, signaling his underlings to bring over the corpses of Ah Da and Ah Er for looting.
Players had a unique fascination with looting corpses.
Especially looting elite NPCs like Ah Da and Ah Er, who were not the heads of any factions and thus didn’t qualify as Big Bosses; they were all extrely enthusiastic.
"I’m touching your leg, oh how moist... touching your waist, oh how enticing..."
Forever Wang Gou Dan, while humming a bawdy song, searched Ah Da’s body. Suddenly, he exclaid, "Look what I found!"
Imdiately, all the Players turned to look.
Forever Wang Gou Dan jubilantly produced a ruined scroll that seed like a strip of cloth covered in tiny characters and drawings.
"We’ve got a book, hahaha! Quick, see what secret martial arts manual it is?"
"Fantastic, another martial arts from another faction has been added to Black Wind Village’s strength!"
"Soday, there will be a saying in the Martial World, ’All martial arts co from the Mountain Village! Master the secret manuals, and you’ll be fearless all over the world!’"
A group of excited players chattered away as they looked at the strip-like secret manual.
Jiang Dali, who was quietly popping pills and circulating his Nine Yang to recover his Qi-Blood, seated on a pear-wood carved chair, also felt a jolt in his heart and imdiately turned his attention to Wang Gou Dan, who was surrounded by Players.
He had initially thought that Ah Da and Ah Er had co to kill him, and traveling light, they probably wouldn’t carry anything valuable.
However, a secret manual had now turned up on Ah Da’s body.
A manual that he carried with him was certainly a treasure.
"I see the prompt; isn’t this manual sothing like a fragnt of ’Dragon Subduing Twenty-Eight Palms’?"
"It’s a fragnt of ’Dragon Subduing Twenty-Eight Palms – Dragon Subduing Eight Palms’... Shit? ’Dragon Subduing Twenty-Eight Palms’? Isn’t the Beggar Gang’s secret technique called ’Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms’? I saw Players from the Beggar Gang talking about it on the Jianghu Forum. How co there are ten more palms in this?"
"giao! This is an explosive find, a fragnt of a powerful secret technique? This feels like a dream; who in the Beggar Gang was this swordsman?"
At this mont, the Players had all received a prompt and were rejoicing ecstatically.
Jiang Dali’s heart pounded even more, and he promptly cleared his throat, beckoning with his hand.
Forever Wang Gou Dan quickly caught on, eagerly separating the crowd of Players and presenting the ’Dragon Subduing Twenty-Eight Palms’ fragnt to Jiang Dali with great earnestness.
Even a Player like Wang Gou Dan who coveted such a rare secret technique knew that such treasures weren’t sothing he could keep for himself.
Especially in front of the Boss’s watchful gaze, he could only hope to learn it in the Mountain Village later on.
"Village chief, please take a look!"
Wang Gou Dan, drawing closer and feeling the frightful aura emanating from Jiang Dali, shuddered as if he had encountered static electricity and spoke with a respectful smile.
Even as a Player, facing Jiang Dali in such a realistic world filled Wang Gou Dan with a fear comparable to facing a wild tiger, perhaps even more terrifying, an innate sense of dread rooted deep within his soul.
