"Congratulations, the Black Wind Village you lead has successfully been promoted to the sixth-level power in the Martial World, and has beco a formidable force that cannot be overlooked in the Martial World.
Your personal reputation has increased by 10,000, and your progress has attracted the attention of the Song Country and the heightened notice of the Holy Dynasty, please be sure to act discreetly."
"What a pity, after the promotion to a sixth-level power, besides the higher and more resounding reputation in the Martial World, there are no substantial rewards.
And this warning... it seems the experts from Song Country will be coming for soon."
During his contemplation.
Outside the narrow black door, a scholar dressed in white, gently fanning himself, tapped carefully on the door fra and entered, holding a heavy box with great respect.
Jiang Dali looked at ’Roushui God’ Yong Xiyu, who had already surrendered to him.
This was an expert of the Gang Qi Realm.
But for Black Wind Village now, experts in the Gang Qi Realm were indeed not rare.
’Fiery Fire God Monarch’ Cai Qishen and ’Roushui God’ Yong Xiyu, forr subordinates of Zhu the Great King, even had lower positions compared to the Xuanming Two Elders, who had joined the Mountain Village earlier.
Nonetheless, they were talents after all.
And Jiang Dali had shown rcy to every talent willing to surrender.
Each was bestowed a Three Corpses Brain God Pill, in addition to being controlled with the Life and Death Mother-Child Net infused with the skills of the ’Heart-breaking Blood-breaking Palm’.
Not anyone who surrendered could expect such treatnt.
So who surrendered only started with nial work at the lowest levels of Black Wind Village.
No matter how strong you are, you must coil like a dragon or crouch like a tiger.
Jiang Dali wasn’t afraid of anyone secretly trying to escape.
Because betrayers ultimately received what they deserved.
’Sword King’ Qu Hanshan, who secretly betrayed him while pretending loyalty, had received what he deserved.
The box that ’Roushui God’ Yong Xiyu was holding was indeed the box containing Qu Hanshan’s severed head.
He stepped forward to bow and was just about to report and open it.
But Jiang Dali raised his hand and said, "No need to open it, just bury it, Sword King was after all a real man. There are not many who dare to resist , and those who do usually have integrity, it’s a pity that n of integrity often don’t end up well..."
Hearing these words, ’Roushui God’ Yong Xiyu trembled, his heart filled with complexity and emotion.
Was he then, who now kneeled so submissively, not a man without integrity?
Thinking this made him feel gloomy once more.
Even the hot-tempered ’Fiery Fire God Monarch’ had surrendered without pride, so his own surrender as ’Roushui God’ seed neither shaful nor unreasonable.
He responded with a yes, then stood up and reported, "Village Chief, the Battle Armor and Sword that you entrusted to be recast have been completed. Moreover, Qianluo Mountain Master has co to bid farewell, while the Four Great Evildoers of the Xixia First-class Hall arrived at noon, coming to pay a visit to you."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali was surprised and nodded, instructing, "Let Qianluo and the Four Great Evildoers co in to see together. Also, have the forged Battle Armor and Sword brought here as well."
"Yes!"
Yong Xiyu imdiately bowed down, carefully not to turn his back on Jiang Dali, showing disrespect, and slowly backed out of the palace before turning and quickly leaving.
...
’Poisonous Hand Qianluo’ was a person of great renown on the Black List of Ming Country, even if his na and power were completely inferior to Lang Fan Yun.
But except for ’Evil Spirit’ Li Ruohai, no other expert on the Black List could be compared with the top-ranked Lang Fan Yun.
So everyone was more or less equal; as long as one was in the top ten of the Black List, they could show off their prowess in the Martial World.
He had indeed made quite a foundation and reputation for himself in Su State.
The title of Qianluo Mountain City Lord symbolized iron and blood.
However, at this mont, walking towards the grand hall with his retinue, looking at the glimring sunlight on the distant river, he gradually felt that he had aged and no longer possessed the ambition and power to stand atop everything like the person waiting for him inside the hall.
But none of this mattered anymore.
What was most important was that this invited visit had already secured him many benefits and relationships.
As the Black Wind Village Chief feasted, he, ’Poisonous Hand Qianluo’, could also sip so soup.
The most important thing was that although the Power Gang had disappeared, his Qianluo Mountain City was still able to exist.
Because at the most critical mont, he had made the right Choice.
Sotis, "Choice" is far more important than persistence and effort.
Duan Yanqing had also made what he believed to be the right Choice at this ti.
So after traveling thousands of miles to Black Wind Village only to find himself empty-handed, he trudged another thousand miles from Leshan all the way to the Twelve Linked Water Fortresses, just to see the Black Wind Village Chief again.
Now.
They entered the extrely spacious hall that was as vast as a plain, their gaze crossing the thirty-zhang long extravagant marble table to see Jiang Dali sitting before the Flying Dragon Screen.
This sight inevitably reminded them of their first eting.
The man remained the sa, strong as an iron tower.
But his aura seed even more powerful than before, his reputation resonating louder, causing them from afar to involuntarily hold their breath, straighten up respectfully, and advance to pay their respects with a formal bow.
"Everyone here is an acquaintance of mine; there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Co, sit and let’s talk."
Jiang Dali greeted these people with a smile.
Even though there had been so unpleasantness with both groups in the past.
But now, that unpleasantness had disappeared with the change of status and interests.
With his current status and reputation in the Martial World, there was no need to show an unpleasant face.
And even so, neither group dared to be negligent simply because he was smiling.
Half an hour after the brief eting.
Poisonous Hand Qianluo left contentedly and with humility.
Duan Yanqing was also satisfied after secretly visiting Duan Yu, he left to attend to the tasks that Jiang Dali had assigned.
After dealing with these minor social interactions.
Jiang Dali summoned Wang Yuyan, setting aside Duan Yu.
With this woman, who had suddenly beco tense, nervous, and sowhat resistant, he walked into the sealed and gloomy secret chamber.
"You... you’re really going to do to what you did last ti again? I don’t... I don’t want to!"
"Have you forgotten what I told you last ti? When a woman says ’no,’ she ans ’yes.’ I’ll just take it that you want it."
In the darkness, Wang Yuyan stomped her feet in frustration, "Then I say I want it."
Jiang Dali’s mouth curved slightly, "That’s better; saying you want it is the right thing. With your foundation in Martial Arts, inheriting Zhu Xiawu’s Inner Strength would add another trustworthy expert under my command."
Wang Yuyan’s eyes widened as she stuttered in protest, "You... you’re playing dirty, I said I want it!"
After speaking, she realized she had been played, and imdiately biting her lip in annoyance, she turned to run out of the secret chamber, resisting.
"I don’t like that feeling, it’s too uncomfortable. Moreover, I don’t like taking soone else’s Power."
Jiang Dali grabbed Wang Yuyan’s arm firmly, pulling her back forcefully as he commanded, "Even if you don’t like it, you have to grow to like it.
I need to discuss many Martial Arts with you in the future; if you were just a fragile flower vase, it would be too easy for soone to target you to get at ."
Wang Yuyan struggled, "If you force like this, aren’t you afraid that I will turn strong and co after you?"
Jiang Dali laughed heartily, "The Life and Death Mother-Child Net was created by you and ; you should understand how powerful this technique is.
Besides, I don’t think your nature allows you to do sothing so out of line. If you really dare to stab hard, I might be very pleased."
"You!!"
Even for soone as gentle as Wang Yuyan, she was furious at this point and exclaid, "I thought you had changed a lot, but I did not expect you to still be a Great Evil Man. I will never help you refine a Cultivation Technique ever again."
Jiang Dali was unmoved, lifting Wang Yuyan up by her waist, ignoring her tickling punches, and walking deeper into the chamber with teasing banter, he laughed lightly.
"You speak as if you’re a child playing house, saying ’I won’t play with you anymore.’ If you can persist for more than ten days, I might actually start to admire you."
