Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1414 - 1086: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes! A Suspected Immortal God-Level Powerhouse! (11th Bonus for Monthly Ticket)
"Catch the palm!!"
Jiang Dali raised his palm to his chest, his eyes flashing with intensity, and suddenly struck out with controlled force. To Xu Ziling, it felt like an overwhelming attack.
He immediately shouted "Lin," raising both hands high, fingers tightly clasped like a budding flower, the ring fingers tilted upward, fingertips touching.
It was clearly the Immovable Root Seal, his entire essence, energy, and spirit condensed into a unified form like towering mountains.
However, at the moment their palms touched, Xu Ziling’s face turned deathly pale, and he staggered back ten steps or so, crashing into a beam, with two streams of blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, his forehead covered in sweat, dizzy and in immense pain.
Jiang Dali smiled indifferently as he withdrew his palm, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "You can go now! Though I have removed your position as Squad Leader, I haven’t expelled you from the village. This palm might cause you unbearable pain, but no one in the Martial World will dare provoke you."
Xu Ziling struggled to clasp his fists and said, "Village chief, take care," then turned and stumbled out of Yiqi Hall.
Jiang Dali turned around and gazed at the tiger and rose relief sculpture behind him, his eyes filled with wildness and disappointment towards Xu Ziling.
He had only discovered when leaving the stone chamber of Wuliang Mountain Sword Lake Palace that outsiders had been there, and it was apparent that the intruder was a woman.
A bit of thought quickly led him to conclude that the woman must be Li Canghai from Cihang Jingzhai.
This woman had some connections with Wang Yuyan. Since her escape from Cihang Jingzhai, he hadn’t pursued the grudges further, considering them settled with the deaths of Di Ni and Shi Feixuan.
He hadn’t expected the woman to return and linger at the site.
While it wasn’t a major issue, Sword Lake Palace was secretly set as a Resurrection Point, and he didn’t want anyone discovering his secret.
If Li Canghai was present during his resurrection, his secret could be at risk of exposure. Of course, he would eliminate such risks beforehand, but it also signaled Xu Ziling’s failure as the Wuliang Mountain Squad Leader.
Jiang Dali always knew Xu Ziling had little ambition and was too benevolent. While these traits weren’t bad, they were unsuitable for the position.
Xu Ziling was tasked with maintaining Wuliang Mountain because a powerful expert was needed to oversee and deter challenges.
Now that the Black Wind Village was famous, there was no need for an expert at Wuliang Mountain as no one would dare challenge them. It was time to remove him from the position.
However, he noticed that Xu Ziling had advanced exceedingly in the Longevity Technique, and his True Qi and mental concentration were near the brink of a breakthrough to Heavenly Human Communication, so he decided to use this punishment to expedite his growth.
That simple-looking palm infiltrated Xu Ziling’s limbs and meridians, applying mental pressure that would leave a profound shadow on his spirit and mind.
If Xu Ziling could withstand the pressure, he not only would survive but would have a fortuitous breakthrough to Heavenly Human Communication, entering the Heavenly Human Realm.
If he couldn’t endure, he would die within half a year, with body and soul destroyed.
Jiang Dali allowed Xu Ziling only six months.
If he couldn’t break through within half a year, he would die.
Because within half a year, he aimed for Black Wind Village to elevate to a third-tier power.
Currently, the village needed more Heavenly Human Realm experts to advance to a third-tier power.
After calming his mood, Jiang Dali intended to open the Jianghu Forum to check the current Martial World dynamics.
Suddenly, a message prompt appeared before him.
"You have completed the task ’Heavenly Monk’s Demon Extermination Request,’ receiving the rare title ’Defender of the Faith,’ a Heavenly Monk relic (pending collection), Di Ni’s Rebirth Blessing, and unlocking the Spiritual Worlds of Di Ni, Heavenly Monk, and Xie Tiao."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Dali showed surprise, thinking briefly, and realized that Xie Tiao must be completely dead.
Initially, he hadn’t considered this; he believed Xie Tiao died in the explosion of Xiong Ba’s Primordial Spirit alongside Pang Ban eight days earlier.
But the task completion notification for ’Heavenly Monk’s Demon Extermination Request’ revealed that Xie Tiao survived until now before dying.
Realizing this, Jiang Dali felt a sudden jolt.
If Xie Tiao only died recently, it was evident he died after him, raising the possibility he witnessed everything after Jiang Dali’s death.
If so, Xie Tiao could have spread this information in the past eight days.
"Did Xie Tiao’s Primordial Spirit naturally perish in the world, or was he taken out by someone? If it’s the former, that’s fine; if it’s the latter..."
Jiang Dali’s sharp eyes flashed, and he didn’t care about the task rewards he received. He immediately opened the Jianghu Forum to check the interface of the Divine Martial Country’s Heaven Mountain section.
Upon checking, he found several newly posted threads with high popularity, all titled with messages about experts appearing in Heaven Mountain, engaging in battle.
Upon entering to view, Jiang Dali saw blurry videos from different angles in several posts. The players who recorded these were obviously at some distance, even the nearest player filmed from the downward angle across a mountain ridge.
In these video images, Jiang Dali only saw two blurry figures fighting, too far to see any clothing details, and the videos were intermittent, clearly players were live broadcasting at the time.
After watching several players’ live videos for a few minutes, Jiang Dali quickly judged from the disturbance and aura emitted during their battle that the two were at least experts of the Heavenly Human 9th Realm, with one likely being a Buddhist expert.
Combining this with the information gathered during his retreat from the Jianghu Forum about people heading to Heaven Mountain, Jiang Dali immediately determined that one of them must be the Sweeping Monk.
Thinking of this, his expression became grave.
Watching until the end, when he saw the Sweeping Monk fall into a distinctly unfavorable position, even being knocked off the mountainside beyond the range of the players’ filming, he frowned, crossed his arms, and fell into thought.
The Sweeping Monk’s current strength must undoubtedly be in the Returning to Truth Realm, yet someone could fight him and even defeat him, must also be a Returning to Truth Realm expert.
But experts of the Returning to Truth Realm wouldn’t casually appear in a vassal state. Who exactly is the opponent? Perhaps only upon finding the Sweeping Monk can clarity be attained.
"Xie Tiao just died, and the timing of these two fighting also matches up, given the Sweeping Monk’s identity as a Shaolin High Monk, he might not make a move against Xie Tiao. It’s very likely Xie Tiao died at the hands of this mysterious expert... also wonder if this guy executed efficiently, hopefully not giving Xie Tiao the chance to speak."
Upon reaching this thought, Jiang Dali gave up the idea of continuing to hide secretly, planning instead to go out immediately to understand the situation, while simultaneously completing the previously unfinished advanced task.
However, this active arrival, he doesn’t plan to be too high-profile, still focusing on hiding behind the scenes, only meeting with a few friends.
Through this way of lurking in the shadows, he calmly observes who can’t resist jumping out to make trouble and provoke without his deterrence sitting at Black Wind Village.
Of course, this idea is just one factor of the plan and not the primary purpose.
Because Jiang Dali knows clearly, with the current scale of Black Wind Village and the intimidation of his friends, even the most top-tier small factions within the vassal state wouldn’t dare act rashly.
His other purpose is to secretly investigate the God-searching Palace and some potential enemies, including that mysterious expert who prevented Wu Ming from meeting him.
Initially, he contacted Po Jun to inform Wu Ming about Xiong Ba’s appearance at the World Association.
Unexpectedly, the player responsible for transmitting the message couldn’t find Wu Ming.
It was then that, a mysterious person guided the player to find Wu Ming and took him out right in front of Wu Ming, resulting in Wu Ming never appearing until now.
All this information, that player had already informed Po Jun.
And Po Jun quickly conveyed the message to his connected player.
When the connected player couldn’t find him, according to the backup plan, he recorded the message and posted it in the Personal Guard’s private post on the faction section, waiting for the Personal Guard’s players to relay the message upon seeing him.
But these complex relays, in truth, once it gets recorded in the post on the forum, he will know and grasp them immediately.
This is also a meticulously designed huge intelligence network, convenient for communicating information in the Mixed Martial Arts World in the fastest and most convenient way without exposing himself. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Now knowing there’s a mysterious expert capable of stopping Wu Ming from intervening, Jiang Dali is highly suspicious that the mysterious expert may very likely be the Immortal God of the God-searching Palace.
Because based on all the information and intelligence currently held, only this mysterious God of the God-searching Palace would have the strength to stop Wu Ming.
The opponent’s background is mysterious, his whereabouts are elusive, if investigated out in the open, it’s feared that before discovering the opponent’s trail, the opponent would notice.
Only by using the same means to counter the opponent.
Jiang Dali decided to remain in the shadows, while gathering strength and waiting for the clowns to jump out, borrow the forces of ancient family intelligence to secretly investigate the God-searching Palace and the mysterious expert suspected to be the Immortal God, as well as the expert who battled the Sweeping Monk.
"Let these crafty guys all think Laozi dead, and when they are most complacent, Laozi will give them a great surprise! This plan is named the [Anti-Yin Plan]."...
