On the way, he had only recently learned "Whale Tooth Cry and Whale’s Call," which suddenly exploded.
With a long whale call reverberating in an instant, a large swath of poison sand, accompanied by the sonic waves of the whale’s call, ford a storm-like barrier blocking the incoming Sword Qi.
However, the Sword Qi pierced through the poison sand in the blink of an eye, writhing like a snake, and then exploded into a myriad of smaller Sword Qis that attacked at an even greater speed.
Such an unexpected twist took everyone by surprise.
Jiang Dali frowned at that mont,
while Xiao Feng had already co to aid, throwing a punch, executing the Shaolin Grand Ancestor Long Fist. Though a common Martial Art, he infused it with powerful Fist Power, instantly blocking all strands of the fine Sword Qi.
"What a formidable sword strike! Could it be Ye Gucheng?"
Jiang Dali’s expression changed, staring intently at a sword hole torn through the pavilion wall.
Beside him, Xiao Feng also imdiately beca as if facing a formidable enemy, staring solemnly into the pavilion.
Anyone capable of unleashing Sword Qi over a distance of more than ten ters with such power was indeed a formidable opponent among the tough.
"Whale Tooth Cry and Whale’s Call? Sea and Sky White Whale Miao Guangzong? And the King of Joy? What brings you here? Have you already dealt with the Black Wind Village Chief?"
A voice of surprise ca from inside the pavilion.
The door opened.
Two silhouettes appeared at the entrance.
The white-clothed man wearing a mask and holding a sword looked on with puzzlent.
The handso young man by his side, equally astonished, looked at Xiao Feng wearing his hat and bowed, "King of Joy, have you succeeded?"
Xiao Feng was surprised, not yet recognizing who the youth was, but had no choice but to remain calm, raising his hand and smiling faintly, "Indeed, the Black Wind Village Chief, concerned over his brother Cheng Shifei’s safety, ultimately had to make concessions, willingly pulling out of the gamble, no longer stepping into Yingtianfu City."
Jiang Dali, however, had already recognized that the handso young man was none other than King of Joy and Yun ng Fairy’s son, Wang Lianhua.
Wang Lianhua was known in the Martial World as the Thousand Faces Young Master. Not only was he a great talent in the Martial Arts, excelling in both letters and arms, his eclectic knowledge and wide range of studies were unmatched.
His knowledge spanning Martial Arts, dical Skill, Poison Technique, Disguise, Gu Poison, and Mind Control had been compiled into the "Wang Lianhua’s Exquisite Manual," stunning the entire Martial World.
However, the current King of Joy surely did not recognize that Wang Lianhua was his son, much less that Wang Lianhua always sought to kill him for revenge.
Imdiately he laughed heartily, "Your plan to leverage the Black Wind Village Chief’s concern for his brother was truly cunning. With his compromise, we have one less formidable adversary, and our grand plan can succeed. You’ve nothing to worry about now, Brother Wang."
Before the white-clothed man could speak,
Wang Lianhua’s eyes lit up with a smile, "That indeed would be a good turn of events, otherwise if the Black Wind Village Chief did not compromise, and I failed to capture Wang Yuyan, there really would be no one who could control the Black Wind Village Chief. But I find sothing puzzling."
"Oh?"
Xiao Feng, surprised and with Jiang Dali’s hint recognizing the identity of Wang Lianhua, raised his hand and asked calmly, "And what might that be?"
Wang Lianhua paced and said, "By all accounts, we had a plan earlier. If we could detain the Black Wind Village Chief, you were supposed to contain him outside the city. Now that you have suddenly returned, what if the Black Wind Village Chief reneges at the last minute?"
"Oh."
Jiang Dali patted his round belly and laughed, "Worry not, Brother Wang. In truth, Cheng Shifei is still in our hands, only we have moved him to another location.
If the Black Wind Village Chief remains docile and doesn’t stir trouble, we will certainly hand over his brother to him, so fearing we might injure the rat, he wouldn’t dare make any moves."
"I see."
Wang Lianhua, enlightened, smiled, "It seems we’ve indeed eliminated a strong enemy."
At that, he changed the subject again, "Then what are your intentions now, coming to Prince Nan’s Mansion?"
Jiang Dali glanced at the red glow emanating from Wang Lianhua, knowing the man’s shrewdness and cunning, still harboring doubts about their identities.
He then looked toward Xiao Feng, disguised as the King of Joy.
Xiao Feng imdiately understood, his expression turned stern and he snorted coldly, "What’s this? Are you instructing on how to do my business?"
Correct content is on )
"You botched the job and you’re asking why I’ve co back?"
"I, of course, have returned to share the Southern King’s worries and to strive with all my might to make sure this great endeavor succeeds."
Wang Lianhua’s gaze narrowed, a look of suspicion lingering on Xiao Feng’s fair, woman-like palms; a mix of complexity and deep-seated resentnt flashed in his eyes as he nodded with a slight smile, "It seems that Lianhua has said too much. In that case, since we were planning on departing right now, let’s go together."
The man in white frowned and snorted coldly, "The original plan was for to go alone. None of you need to follow. Now with two more people, isn’t this making too big of a scene?"
"Oh?"
Xiao Feng’s cold eyes turned to the man in white. Although he couldn’t fathom the stranger’s origin, he still asserted firmly, "Are you suggesting that I have now beco an unnecessary addition?"
He suddenly emitted a faint aura of a Heavenly Person, as if he was ready to strike at any disagreent.
"Hmm?"
The man in white’s gaze sharpened, his palm hugging the sword twitched, and an astonishing Sword Intent imdiately radiated from him.
In an instant, the spring grass on the ground all stood up, like a multitude of swords aiming directly at Xiao Feng, enveloping the scene with a terrifyingly sharp aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.
"All Swords Bowing? With such Sword Intent, who on earth is this person?"
Jiang Dali was astounded. No matter how much he scrutinized the man in white opposite him, all he could see were a few question marks above the man’s head.
And judging from the purple glow emitting from the man, he was a very formidable figure.
"The mysterious man attacked with a streak of Sword Qi earlier. Given that the panel prompt was just a mysterious person attacking , it seems I must either remove his mask or obtain more clues to figure out his identity," Jiang Dali thought to himself.
At that mont, Wang Lianhua had already stepped out to diate.
"Alright, both of you are influential people in the Martial World. With the Southern King’s matter still unresolved, we should value harmony and avoid internal conflict."
Saying this, Wang Lianhua looked at the man in white with a smile, "Perhaps I haven’t fully recovered from my injuries. How about I sit this one out, and the three of you go instead?"
Jiang Dali, noting the red aura still emanating from Wang Lianhua’s body, suspected that he might have begun to doubt their identities.
The reason they hadn’t acted was probably that due to his injury, he wasn’t confident of his chances and so was feigning agreent.
But if they were to let Wang Lianhua out of their sight, he was likely to cause significant trouble.
"Brother Wang, what are you saying? Even with your injuries, you’re definitely stronger than Old Miao here."
Jiang Dali slapped his belly and laughed, "Enough talk. Our movent techniques are all exceptional. If we’re careful, we shouldn’t draw any attention."
The man in white huffed coldly, thinking more people would indeed make it easier to operate.
When the ti ca, he might not even need to act; these people’s participation might suffice, and he could withdraw to et Xin Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.
As this thought erged, the man in white looked coldly at Wang Lianhua and said, "He’s right; you are indeed stronger than him. Let’s go and not waste any more ti."
Wang Lianhua, feeling helpless inside, knew that further refusal might raise more suspicion and imdiately nodded and smiled in agreent.
The four of them, each with their own cunning plans, might have the man in white as the only one with a sowhat simpler mind. Thus, they all set off together.
anwhile, Jiang Dali noticed a change in his interface panel.
At that mont, he realized that perhaps this disguise as allies to infiltrate enemy ranks had succeeded, and he might have triggered so special mission...
