Chapter 623: 0507: Jiang Dali takes on disciples, welcomes them into Yingtianfu (guaranteed update, asking for monthly tickets)

As the Players began to grow increasingly powerful, Black Wind Village had gradually overcome the awkwardness of having no one useful during the early stages.

Especially after the Mountain Worshiping Arena at Black Wind came to an end, there were now more than ten Players in the Gang Qi Realm within Black Wind Village, and even more impressively, over two hundred in the Bursting Energy Realm.

Among them, more than half were strong Players who had deepened their cultivation in front of the Wuliang Jade Bi in the cave heaven of Wuliang Mountain. Nearly all were young bulls with incredibly high Martial Arts Realms and full combat strength.

Under the strategic guidelines given by Jiang Dali, these powerful Players were organized into elite squads.

The elite squads enjoyed the best benefits and privileges within the mountain village but were also required to take on high-difficulty and high-risk missions.

Moreover, Jiang Dali specifically demanded that the missions of the elite squads needed to be recorded and reported daily. Ultimately, the reports would be compiled by confidants from his Personal Guard before being handed over to him.

Originally, this daily mission reporting system was simply something Jiang Dali had wanted to test the players’ capacity for execution and to facilitate management.

But the Players’ level of "understanding and initiative" had exceeded his expectations.

They would post a locked forum thread on the Black Wind Village section of the Jianghu Forum during each mission, documenting the process.

And the password for the locked thread was the code name he gave to each mission.

This allowed Jiang Dali to check the status of each elite squad’s missions on the Jianghu Forum at any time.

At this moment,

he was viewing mission videos posted by an elite squad led by Player "Conspiring Noble Lady," gaining real-time knowledge of the status of this Player squad that had set sail for Ice and Fire Island.

This squad had only just embarked on their voyage.

According to the boatman at the helm, it would take at least around ten days to reach Ice and Fire Island.

The mission Jiang Dali gave to this Player squad was to "assist the disguised Xuanming Two Elders and the Three Kings" in completing their mission.

Assist was just a polite way of saying they were to act as mobile eyes to prevent any tricks from the Xuanming Two Elders and the Three Kings.

Although the five members of the Xuanming Two Elders were now tightly controlled by Jiang Dali,

The task he had assigned this time, which involved the Nine Yang Divine Skill and taking on Zhang Wuji as a disciple, was a significant matter.

Having Players present ensured that the five members of the Xuanming Two Elders knew to give their best effort in completing the mission without any slack.

"Ten days from now, when this group reaches Ice and Fire Island, my visit to Yingtianfu will be nearly over.

If there is time, I might as well take a tour overseas.

Right, I could also issue an additional mission to this elite squad of Players, letting them start developing in advance overseas, establishing the Wuxiang Sect first, and incidentally clearing up the whereabouts of Hero Island and that old fellow, Wu Ming."

Jiang Dali let his thoughts run wild, and a satisfied smile, the kind one has when reaping the rewards, appeared on his lips. The deep chuckle caused Wang Yuyan and the others, who were having a blast playing dice, to shiver simultaneously.

"This guy..."

Lu Xiaofeng held the dice in his hand and looked towards Jiang Dali, who was grinning suspiciously.

Kou Zhong felt a chill down the back of his neck.

Whenever the village chief laughed like this, it meant bad luck for someone.

He felt a sense of unease as if his sneaky moves had been found out, and the excitement of rolling ’One Pillar Holding Up the Sky’ on the dice no longer appealed to him.

"The village chief often laughs silly to himself like this in the middle of the night, I’m already used to it, it’s nothing. Let’s continue," encouraged Wang Yuyan, who was thoroughly enjoying the game and urged the two men to continue.

Lu Xiaofeng and Kou Zhong looked at her even more strangely, their eyes filled with a mix of pity and regret.

Lost in the thrill of reaping the crops, Jiang Dali sent a new mission reward to the elite squad afloat at sea.

The players on the boring sea voyage were startled as they were notified of a new mission update on their panels.

Player "Conspiring Noble Lady" perked up and immediately checked her panel.

"Your mission ’Journey to Ice and Fire Island’ has advanced to a new stage, and you’ve unlocked new mission rewards.

Reward requirements: 1: Assist the disguised Xuanming Two Elders in striking young Zhang Wuji with a palm (Note: Must not endanger Zhang Wuji’s life);

2: Assist the Three Kings in transmitting the secret manual entrusted by the Black Wind Village Chief to young Zhang Wuji for cultivation, take Zhang Wuji in as a person of Black Wind Village, strictly as the disciple of the Black Wind Village Chief, and successfully take the Dragon Slayer Sword from Xie Xun’s hands.

Mission rewards: 1, The token of the Wuxiang Sect Leader—Youluan Order;

2, Direct appointment by the Black Wind Village Chief and allocation of resources to establish the Wuxiang Sect in Ice and Fire Island overseas, with the Head temporarily held by ’Conspiring Noble Lady.’ Other participants can assume positions such as elder, protector, etc., and operate as a sub branch for Black Wind Village’s expansion overseas."

"Shit! Did I just strike it ridiculously lucky?"

Conspiring Noble Lady became extremely invigorated after reading the mission rewards.

These additional mission rewards were nothing short of a giveaway.

And the rewards were incredibly generous.

She was directly being supported to become the leader of a sect as a Player overseas.

It’s known that although there were many sub branches in Black Wind Village led by high-level Players as Squad Leaders,

a sub branch wasn’t as prestigious as an independent sect.

Moreover, it was apparent that the Wuxiang Sect, established with the Youluan Order, would have the Luck Index of a sixth-tier power from the get-go.

That starting point was much stronger than all the sub branches under Black Wind Village.

The other members of the Player squad were also extremely excited as they clarified the details of the mission.

Overseas territories were uncharted areas for Black Wind Village so far.

It seemed now that the village chief intended to cultivate a force of his own overseas.

These pioneers, if they worked hard, were bound to enjoy the spoils of success.

"This mission reward is awesome. But it seems like our village chief really values this native named Zhang Wuji."

"Have you investigated? Is there any record of this native in ancient books?"

"We’ve only found partial information about the Golden Lion King Xie Xun, Wudang’s Zhang Cui Shan, and the Demoness Yin Susu.

These natives are all no trifles but compared to our village chief, they fall short. I wonder why he cares so much about their son."

"Who knows? Maybe Zhang Wuji doesn’t have the surname Zhang but Jiang instead. Eh? Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t say anything! You all know the village chief holds grudges."

"Stop guessing, it probably has nothing to do with the village chief. Haven’t you seen the mission requirements? It’s asking for the Xuanming Two Elders to strike Little Zhang Wuji with a palm before the Lord Three Kings can begin transmitting. The village chief’s arrangement seems to have some deeper meaning."

Players fiercely debated among themselves, occasionally glancing toward the grim-faced Xuanming Two Elders drinking on the deck in front of them, struggling to suppress their laughter.

Ever since the Xuanming Two Elders had received this kind of mission, their faces hadn’t seen a good day.

After all, they were about to take action against a child.

And they had to use their esteemed Mystic Netherworld Divine Palm, while also being careful not to strike with lethal force.

Such an odd mission felt awkward and depressing, no matter how one looked at it.

The control over their strength was, in truth, not easy to master.

If they failed to control their strength and ended up killing Zhang Wuji by accident, they would definitely not escape punishment upon their return.

Nobody could have expected this.

Jiang Dali had arranged things this way in the hope that Zhang Wuji would follow the developmental path outlined in the ancient texts as much as possible.

Only under pressure could a person muster even greater motivation.

If Zhang Wuji was born with great parents and a wonderful grandfather,

Along with the Nine Yang Divine Skill personally sent to be taught by the Black Wind Village Chief,

Starting life at the pinnacle, who knew what kind of person he would become when he grew up or if he would achieve greatness.

But Jiang Dali’s arrangement was not because he valued Zhang Wuji’s Martial Arts talent.

Rather, he was interested in the Luck Index that came attached to a protagonist from a known ancient text.

If Jiang Dali were to take in Zhang Wuji as a disciple, then the Luck Index of Black Wind Village would definitely surpass 200 points, meeting the promotion requirements for a fifth-tier power.

...

Three days later, in Yingtianfu City.

The streets were difficult to navigate; the river was crowded with passenger ships. Sail shadows followed the tide and the song’s vigor was chilled by the rain.

Even with the drizzle continuing for three days, Yingtianfu City was still bustling, especially the outer city.

People from the Martial World all over the world had heard about the battle at Forbidden Peak and came, almost bursting the inns of Yingtianfu City. The girls in the surrounding Art Houses were so busy every day they could hardly dress neatly, their faces nearly frozen from over-smiling.

The battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng hadn’t even started yet.

Numerous Martial World people who had rushed to Yingtianfu City had already erupted into dozens of small and large skirmishes.

However, under the repeated suppression of expert Ming Country imperial guards, as well as agents from the eastern and western factories and the Six Gates organization, all the Martial World people who had arrived were blocked outside the Inner City.

Only a few famous and high-ranking individuals from the Martial World were allowed to enter the Inner City from afar and watch the battle between the two Sword Gods on the day of the fight.

Many players who had come to watch the excitement looked at the Inner City walls filled with Ming Soldiers and its tight defenses like an iron barrel, and could only complain a lot, feeling rather depressed.

"Damn it! Traveling such a long way, and we can’t even get into the Inner City. How can we watch the battle between the two Sword Gods on the night of the full moon? This is purely a mockery of us."

"Alas, it’s a pity. Some higher-level players who joined the Six Gates have the qualifications to watch the battle in the Inner City. I don’t envy anything else, just this treatment."

"I heard some players from the Black Wind Village also have spots."

"Stop talking crap. Isn’t the Black Wind Village Chief still wanted by the Ming Country Official? He himself dares not show up in Yingtianfu, to speak nothing of those underlings!"

While a group of players discussed in a teahouse, suddenly, several white pigeons flew through the rain curtain and into the room.

A few players who received the pigeon messages were surprised, immediately opening the messages and changing their expressions to stand up.

"The Black Wind Village Chief actually came to Yingtianfu City!"

"No way? How could the Evil Star be so bold? Does he wants to be thrown into the Heavenly Prison again?"

"Quick, let’s go out and see."

...

Yingtianfu City.

On the damp streets soaked with rain,

The crowd was split by two lines of the imposing Ming Country Official soldiers.

Jiang Dali, who was two meters tall with a frame like a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist, sat on one of the majestic black horses. Alongside him riding shoulder to shoulder were Lu Xiaofeng and Kou Zhong, among others, following the divided street toward the Inner City.

The astonished and admiring gazes of the natives and Players alike fell upon him, and their discussions buzzed incessantly like the flapping of ten thousand flies.

Jiang Dali looked upon this spectacle with a sense of reflection.

From time to time, he waved to a group of Eight Desolate Disciples whose gazes were crazy with fervor, which immediately brought cheers. In terms of popularity, he far exceeded all native NPCs.

Even then, some enthusiastic Players were posting videos on the Jianghu Forum of the Black Wind Village Chief riding into Yingtianfu, greeted by Official soldiers, which sparked hot debate among many spectators.

"Is it against the law to be arrogant? It is not! Look how arrogant the Black Wind Village Chief is; these Ming Soldiers don’t even dare to lay a hand on him!"

"Alas, my Da Li is really too unconstrained. He was wanted by the authorities not too long ago, and now he is being officially welcomed into the Inner City of the Forbidden City by Ming Soldiers."

"My body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. What water temperature do I need to be in to become as tough as the Black Wind Village Chief?"

"Everywhere in the Martial World there are stories about Brother Da Li! I guess some players from the Black Wind Village really can get into the Inner City. I’m dying of envy."

Players on the Jianghu Forum blew up in discussion.

At the moment, Jiang Dali was also thoughtfully regarding a group of respectful Ming Soldiers.

Not long ago, he had killed quite a few Ming Soldiers.

Yet now they were enthusiastically welcoming him in.

He wondered if he would encounter Cao Zhengchun again, or people from Hulong Manor.

"Presumably, Iron Gall Divine Constable Zhu Wushi already knows that Gu Santong is dead... Perhaps this time he will come looking for me."

Jiang Dali’s lips curved into a slight smile as he crossed his arms and looked around the streets. His puffed chest muscles rose like small hills with his movement, hard as iron plates, shimmering with a coppery golden hue, unhuman-like.

A thought crossed his mind, and looking at the large number of players gathered in the Outer City, he immediately issued a mission to find someone...
