High above, an eagle soared through ten thousand li, as a storm carried the herald of spring’s return.
Four days later.
From the South Sea Hero Island to Leshan City, Jiang Dali and Bai Ting had only stopped to rest for one night, eventually arriving at their final destination under the cloak of night and guidance of stars.
Bai Ting had never experienced the thrill of riding an eagle through such lofty heights before.
In the course of these days, overlooking the world from above as scenes swept past like clouds and smoke, he felt deeply in his heart that this trip was "truly worthwhile," and his thoughts about Jiang Dali, the Black Wind Village Chief who possessed such an exotic beast, beca even more complex.
He deeply felt that this man was truly a person of exceptional strength and fortune; unless absolutely necessary, one should not make an enemy of him.
Jiang Dali looked into the distance where the great Buddha sat beside the vast river overlooking the gushing Jiang water, and he laughed heartily from atop an Ice Soul Jade Stone throne, "Such a Buddha is rarely seen in the world, suppressing the Qi Fortune of the Three Rivers and possessing the Spiritual Charm of five provinces. Every ti I see it, I can’t help feeling deeply moved."
Bai Ting knew the purpose of this trip.
Even though he had been containing his tension during these days, he couldn’t help but look towards the navel of the great Buddha, where Lingyun Cave was, and asked,
"The Martial World is rife with rumors that the Fire Qilin inside Lingyun Cave is ferociously formidable, the most vicious among fierce beasts. Countless experts have fallen under its claws over the years. Village Chief, do you really have a foolproof strategy to deal with this beast?"
Jiang Dali smiled indifferently, "To speak of a foolproof strategy, of course, there is none. However, I do have the confidence to co out unscathed.
Sect Hierarch, rest assured, last ti I fought with this beast, I was able to injure it and discovered its weakness.
After all, it’s rely a wild beast. We are not aiming to kill it, so it should be manageable."
As he spoke, Jiang Dali paused and added, "Moreover, this ti I have sought additional help. Before we truly enter Lingyun Cave, we also need to visit a senior. If he is willing to take action, our safety and chances will be greatly improved."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ting felt a sense of relief wash over him.
He thought that since the Black Wind Village Chief had already injured the Fire Qilin before, even if it was incredibly strong, it probably only matched the Chief’s strength. Furthermore, with the additional help and even a senior, as long as he remained cautious, there shouldn’t be any issues.
As the two conversed, the Demon Hawk made a dive.
However, instead of heading straight for Leshan City, it flew directly towards a remarkably imposing sub-branch of Black Mountain Village located in the suburban outskirts near Leshan City.
Ever since the Tianyun Guild, once dominant in Leshan City, was destroyed by a group of Independent Players led by Jiang Dali,
mountain bandits from the Luoyang Branch declared their occupation of the forr guild’s stronghold, announcing the establishnt of a Black Wind Village sub-branch in Leshan City, inviting those with shared ambitions to join.
The day the Black Wind Village Leshan Branch was established, it was an exceptionally lively affair.
A large number of Leshan City Players ca to show their support, privately taking on the identity of a disciple of the Eight Desolates,
simply waiting for the day Jiang Dali would return to call them to raid Lingyun Cave and battle the Fire Qilin once again.
Now, with the arrival of Jiang Dali,
the Black Wind Village Leshan Branch, having received news in advance, was ecstatic and eagerly awaiting.
When the lookout brothers spotted the Demon Hawk in the sky, they imdiately blew the whistle.
Instantly, the large gates of the Black Wind Village Leshan Branch swung wide open.
Two columns of Black Wind Village’s stalwart n rushed out, lined up on either side, setting a grand welco, shouting slogans of "Warmly welco the Village Chief."
Seeing the scale of this Black Wind Village sub-branch, Bai Ting realized that the majority of its mbers were actually Abnormal People.
Judging by these Abnormal People’s movents and skills, they were quite impressive, almost at the elite level of his Divine Fire Sect, instantly raising his estimation of Black Wind Village by another notch.
Jiang Dali descended on the eagle, and the Squad Leader Players of the Leshan Branch, Yin Feng Double Killers’ Yin Sha, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "On behalf of all the brothers of the Leshan Branch, Yin Feng diligently welcos your grand presence, Village Chief."
The deputy Squad Leader, Dongfang Jian, imdiately followed suit with a respectful bow and salute, exceedingly reverent.
He was acutely aware that his forr master, Sky Wolf Venerable, was killed by the Village Chief not too long ago.
This not only removed all his pressures but also added a greater psychological burden when facing Jiang Dali.
Jiang Dali’s eyes were piercing as he scanned over Player Yin Feng and the adjacent Dongfang Jian, offering a slight smile.
Dongfang Jian’s legs went weak, and he knelt on one knee. Glancing sideways, he realized that all his subordinates, who were usually known for their boldness and bravery, had already knelt behind him, not daring to raise their heads.
Only Players like Yin Feng managed to keep their footing steady.
Jiang Dali, with his hands behind his back and his gaze deep and penetrating, assessed Yin Sha and nodded in approval, "You’ve reached the strength of the Gang Qi Realm. It seems after obtaining the complete inheritance from Yin Demon Master, you’ve diligently practiced and trained."
Yin Sha imdiately responded with a respectful smile, "It is all thanks to your support, Village Chief, that I am able to achieve what I have today."
His words were true.
Without Jiang Dali’s support and assistance, appointing Dongfang Jian and others to help Yin Feng Double Killers obtain the complete inheritance of Yin Demon Master,
it would have been impossible for the duo to beco Gang Qi Realm experts just half a year into Mixed Martial Arts World.
In their previous life, it took the two full years in the Mixed Martial Arts World to reach the expert level of the Gang Qi Realm and establish a Player force like the Yinfeng Sect.
"Hm. You should spend more ti studying our Village’s Martial Arts on regular days. You must understand that the Martial Arts I’ve created are far stronger than anything from the likes of Yin Demon Master," Jiang Dali casally advised.
Yin Sha’s heart skipped a beat and he bowed deeply in acknowledgent.
Jiang Dali shook his head inwardly but said no more.
For Players like these who defected halfway, it’s quite difficult to abandon their encounters and switch to studying other Martial Arts.
However, it depends on one’s vision.
With the status and strength of Jiang Dali, the Black Wind Village Chief, surpassing Yin Demon Master by countless tis, the Martial Arts he created were definitely more formidable.
At this stage, Players who follow his path will surely have a bright future.
If Yin Feng has too narrow a vision and sees only the imdiate path, he might manage to retain his position as Squad Leader for now,
but in the future, he will inevitably be overtaken and eliminated by other outstanding brothers from the village.
After all, for Players to advance to the Heavenly Human Realm after reaching the Gang Qi Realm, it won’t be easy.
The breakthrough not only requires an imnse number of Cultivation Points but also the Mastery of one Heavenly Rank Martial Arts or three Earthly Rank Martial Arts to a level of Shocking the Ancient and Modern, allowing them to enter a State of Heavenly Human Communication during Martial Arts practice.
These standards and conditions, although much easier than for native NPCs, were practically insurmountable for players without profound Martial Arts foundations.
Moreover, the vast number of Cultivation Points required at this stage were extrely difficult for players to accumulate.
Hence, although many outstanding players had entered the Gang Qi Realm within two years of starting in the Mixed Martial Arts World in the previous life,
by the fourth year, those who had ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm were still as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns.
"Village Chief, Miss Murong has been waiting for you in the mountain village for quite so ti,"
Yin Sha said with a respectful smile.
"She isn’t coming out to et personally and wants to go to her?"
Jiang Dali nodded slightly, "Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
Yin Sha imdiately turned around to lead the way.
The surrounding players were all excitedly watching Jiang Dali’s sturdy and imposing figure as he walked towards the interior of the mountain village. It was only after he had gone far that anyone dared to whisper and discuss.
"The village chief is so powerful and impactful; my legs nearly gave out when I was closest to him just now."
" too, I’m still sweating. It’s mainly because big Bosses like him have an intimidating aura; I just went into a state of shock."
"The village chief’s visit to Leshan is so grand this ti, could he be planning to attack Lingyun Cave again? There hasn’t been a surge in the River’s waters recently, right?"
"Maybe he’s just here to et a friend. Do you think Miss Murong, who stayed in the village a couple of days ago, could be the village chief’s old fla? She wears a mask so her face isn’t clear, but I heard she’s the heir to the sect leader position in the Sky Zither Sect."
"Don’t talk nonsense! I’m the first to disagree; our village chief’s wife is Miss Wang. She helped advance through multiple Martial Arts, and if Miss Wang becos the village chief’s wife, we’ll all be blessed in the future."
"I prefer Dongfang Sect Leader. I’ve been besieged by righteous factions several tis while traveling through the Martial World, and I owe my escapes to the brothers from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. Dongfang Sect Leader has long legs, a beautiful appearance, and is strong; it would also be good if she beca the village chief’s wife."
"I think you’re all confused. Didn’t you see that the village chief brought the Divine Fire Sect Leader this ti? The village chief always has so many strange companions in the Martial World."
...
Led by Yin Feng, Jiang Dali entered a courtyard in the mountain village branch, where the trees were swaying gracefully.
The courtyard was constructed with ingenious elegance and leisure, a sharp contrast to the rough mountain village scenery outside.
Jiang Dali looked around with a faint smile: "Such a gentle retreat is indeed nice."
Yin Feng quickly bowed, "Thank you for the complint, Village Chief."
After that, he gestured towards the two-story pavilion inside the courtyard: "Miss Murong, our village chief has arrived; please co out to et him."
As he spoke, his heart was tense and nervous, sweat forming on his forehead.
Who would dare to not greet the Black Wind Village Chief with such fanfare upon his arrival?
They must be tired of living.
But he couldn’t grasp the relationship between Murong Qingqing and Jiang Dali, and at this mont could only put on a forced smile.
"Ding ding!"
At this mont, a few notes from a zither began to sound from the pavilion.
The music was soft as if a wanderer who had been away from ho for a long ti suddenly rembered their family, filling one’s heart with warmth.
But soon it stopped, and a few sharp notes burst forth, purifying the mind of worries.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed, showing a hint of surprise, as a faint sense of tranquility erged in his spirit, dispelling the impatience from just before.
Hidden within these zither sounds seed to be the essence of Heavenly Human Communication.
Beside him, Bai Ting also noticed keenly, his face revealing astonishnt.
"You’ve already reached Heavenly Person?"
Jiang Dali looked towards the pavilion in surprise.
A lodious and gentle female voice then descended from the second floor: "Qingqing must thank the village chief for the gift of the Jade Cicada from the past, which saved my master’s life.
Sadly, even though my master was saved, all his Reach Profound Power was lost, and he used our sect’s highest treasure of Spirit Communication, the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds, to help Qingqing break into the Heavenly Human Realm. He has since passed away..."
"Six-fingered Demon is dead?"
Jiang Dali paused, his gaze flickering as he said, "Now that your master is gone and you’ve obtained the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds, you must have also acquired the Heavenly Demon Zither.
So now you should be the Sect Master of the Sky Zither Sect. I sent a ssage for you to co here, why are you unwilling to leave the pavilion to et? Could it be that you’ve beco too haughty?"
After saying this, Jiang Dali snorted coldly and strode towards the main building.
As soon as he stepped onto the floor, two maids by the door, seeing his robust figure, imdiately lowered their gaze and bowed respectfully, opening the door fearfully.
Jiang Dali frowned and entered the room.
A beautiful woman in purple stood elegantly beside a zither just behind a bead curtain, bowing: "Qingqing greets the esteed arrival of Jiang Village Chief!"
Jiang Dali’s sharp eyes, like that of an eagle’s, darted over Murong Qingqing’s slender and delicate figure.
He could feel the even more potent aura of Heavenly Human Communication from her, clearly indicating she had just entered the Heavenly Human Realm not long ago.
At that mont, Murong Qingqing turned around, surprisingly wearing a silver-white mask. She lifted the bead curtain and stepped out gracefully, removing her mask in one smooth motion.
Suddenly, an extrely terrifying and cold demonic aura assaulted everyone present.
"Hmm? This is... Demon Nature?"
Jiang Dali’s pupils tightened...
