Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1429 - 1097: Thousand-Man Butcher, A Motley Crowd!

"If your village chief isn’t dead, why doesn’t he come out to deal with this Evil Star? Hmph! I think it’s just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Even if he’s not dead, upon learning that the Sweeping Monk was killed, he must be hiding and shaking."

As some players spoke rudely, the Jianghu Forum immediately became embroiled in heated debates.

The three Eight Desolate Disciples who caused the major event also stated that as long as their Grandmaster could show up to stop the pursuit of this Evil Star, they would be the first to log in and deliver the quest items to their Grandmaster.

At this moment, Jiang Dali, who had devoured the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable’s Divine Fragment, saw his progress in the Power Realm improve again. Watching the endless arguments among the player community on the Jianghu Forum, he couldn’t help feeling secretly furious.

He knew that in order to carry out the plan to secretly investigate enemies like the Eternal Life God, it inevitably had to be postponed due to the sudden emergence of this mysterious figure.

However, disappearing from the Martial World for ten consecutive days had also yielded some results.

For instance, Unrivaled City had brazenly annexed territory resources during these ten days, showing a greedy state resembling a snake swallowing an elephant. This gave him a legitimate reason to settle accounts afterward.

Additionally, the new management approach of covertly controlling forces these days and the subtle reactions of various forces can be considered quite successful attempts.

Based on the experience from these attempts, even if he has to show up due to this mysterious figure, he can completely disappear from the public eye again after achieving his goal, enhancing his enigmatic and inscrutable aura, making his enemies suspicious and unsure of his next step.

"It’s fine to show up now. If it were any later, judging from these followers’ reactions, they’d likely lose faith in me, reducing the core attraction of my Black Wind Village."

Jiang Dali rubbed his chin, looking at the distant mountain silhouette appearing in the night sky, knowing that Yuan Country was almost reached. He thought to himself, "It’s crucial to show up at this moment. As long as I display stronger power and defeat this mysterious individual, players will naturally support me more vigorously, which will also enhance the fervor of the Black Wind Martial World’s first convention."

As he expected, in places unknown to him, there were some individuals with evil intentions feeling suspicious and indecisive about his continued absence.

...

Divine Iron City.

Even though it was late at night, the city was still bustling with night markets.

Many merchants traveling late at night entered the city after inspection outside, along with wandering merchants from surrounding villages who couldn’t return home at night, choosing to stay overnight in the city. Moreover, there were quite a few martial artists carrying weapons, making the crowd diverse and lively.

However, regardless of who they were, even people from Yuan Country’s Government, upon arriving in Divine Iron City, would abide by the city’s rules, and no one dared cause trouble.

This place had already become an area beyond governmental reach, where people from the Three Religions and Nine Sects, even wanted criminals from multiple countries, preferred to gather. Due to this, even constables from vassal states wouldn’t dare to arrest anyone here.

Yet, the cost of living inside Divine Iron City was also staggering. Without enough Silver Tael in one’s purse, regardless of being a royal family member or a Demon Master, they’d have to leave if broke, as the city wouldn’t shelter vagrants, and even beggars from the Beggar Gang had to pay an entry fee first.

No one noticed a seemingly ordinary monk, along with a tall and burly man wearing a straw hat, mixing with the crowd to enter the city. Even though the man’s physique was astonishingly formidable, making him seem not easy to deal with, there were many such strong men within the city. Any blacksmith coming to study here was a mighty guy, so nobody paid any attention.

After entering the city, the pair, like other diners enjoying a nighttime feast, went to the second floor of Yingfeng Restaurant across from the Inner City, ordered a pot of tea, a table full of dishes, and began drinking and eating. Though appearing ordinary, they were actually listening to all kinds of news inside the restaurant, formulating plans in their hearts.

The monk, while drinking tea and watching the Inner City entrance, thought to himself, "The Black Wind Village Chief has not appeared within the Martial World for ten days now. It seems the master’s judgment is correct; he should be severely injured.

Now in Divine Iron City, there’s only City Lord Liao Rushen who is considered formidable, but he wouldn’t be my match, and it’s said that he has already left the city.

If I can infiltrate tonight with the Beast Slave, I can take Bu Jingyun away. But what if the Black Wind Village Chief is inside Divine Iron City recuperating..."

Thinking of this, the monk paused his drinking, glanced at the Beast Slave sitting beside him like a wooden stake, feeling somewhat hesitant internally.

He’s not afraid of encountering the Black Wind Village Chief, because he knows this individual is strong but has poor Qinggong.

And his Qinggong is unsurpassed in the world. Even when Divine Sovereign was young, he might not outrun him, so even if he encounters the Black Wind Village Chief, he has the confidence to escape promptly.

However, he fears the inability to complete the master’s assignment, hence needing further investigation of the situation now.

For example, the residential layout inside Divine Iron City, the general location of Bu Jingyun, and how to retreat swiftly after capturing Bu Jingyun, etc.

Fortunately, along the way, he has heard some news, knowing that right now, a mysterious and fierce expert is causing trouble at Yuan Country’s border, attracting many martial arts experts from Yuan Country to that border, including Divine Iron City’s City Lord Liao Rushen.

With Liao Rushen gone, Divine Iron City’s defenses will naturally be more vulnerable, and everyone’s attention is already drawn to that border’s mysterious expert, making it easier for him to exploit the chaos tonight, first figuring out the internal situation of Divine Iron City, then seizing the opportunity to take Bu Jingyun away.

Coincidentally.

Inside this restaurant in Divine Iron City, there’s more than just these two with evil intentions waiting.

Right now, inside a private room of the restaurant, there’s also a man and a woman, both wearing straw hats, sitting comfortably inside, also focusing their hearing on various conversations among Martial World people talking inside the restaurant.

These two simultaneously exchanged a conversation using a very discreet method.

"The expert appearing at the border should be the one the Divine Sovereign mentioned, the head of Seven Demon Hunters, Boss Zi Yi. But it’s unexpected that he’s become so powerful already, very strange."

"There’s nothing strange about it. This person has been hiding within the World Association for so many years. His son Xiong Ba, every time eliminating opposition, would deliver some experts to him for Power devouring through that Returning Blood Hand. So many years have passed, it’s rather normal he’s become so strong."

"It’s good he has appeared. This time he’s targeting those three Abnormal People, while they hold items meant for the Black Wind Village Chief. The Divine Sovereign wants us to approach the Black Wind Village Chief, but we’re struggling to find a reason. We can respond to this Yuan Country’s call, disguise ourselves as righteous martial artists, and seek refuge, displaying our strength. Naturally, it will allow us to interact with the Black Wind Village Chief later."

"With our strength, it’s doubtful we can handle Boss Zi Yi."

"Our goal isn’t to confront Boss Zi Yi, nor do we need to display overly astonishing strength. We just need to stand out a bit, and naturally, we can achieve what we want."
