Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

”This explanation deserves me taking a drink and then laughing loudly three times! Hahaha!”

”Old chap, this time you and your son and daughter-in-law are headed outside the border, who knows when we’ll see each other again. We must drink to our heart’s content today! The next we meet, may both of us be Heavenly Persons!”

...

As swiftly as rain, time slips through the fingers unnoticed.

Merely two days later.

Inside Hulong Manor.

Only Jiang Dali, Wang Yuyan, Kou Zhong, and the Fire King, who had just arrived this morning to await orders, were left.

Xiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan, and Azhu, after Dongfang Bubai’s departure, had also left for the area beyond the border.

Jiang Dali had given a Blood Bodhi to Xiao Feng, advising him not to waste his strength.

Living as a shepherd beyond the border was something Xiao Feng had long promised Azhu.

But much had happened since, and, thankful for Jiang Dali’s kindness, Xiao Feng knew that retreating from the Martial World with Azhu for a peaceful life was not yet possible.

For as long as the name of Jiang Dali, Black Wind Village Chief, resounded in the Martial World,

Xiao Feng would not retire from it.

This was not Jiang Dali’s demand.

It was his own.

One drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain.

Heavy in sentiment and righteousness conception, that is Xiao Feng.

He didn’t know when Jiang Dali’s struggle for dominance would end,

But he also didn’t want to express any disagreement or prevention, worried that his thoughts might affect his benefactor’s judgments and decisions.

All he could do was extend a helping hand when needed.

Fortunately, thus far, the actions of Jiang Dali had been honorable and had not disappointed him.

Especially after Jiang Dali decided to return to Song Country and help Yue Fei against the Jin invaders, stabilizing the country, it was thrilling news for him.

Therefore, the trip beyond the border wouldn’t last long.

With Xiao Feng and the others gone, Lu Xiaofeng could not stay inactive and had already gone to the city’s Art House to seek pleasure.

In his words, mixing with women could considerably prolong the state of Heavenly Human Communication, aiding his step into the Heavenly Human Realm.

Jiang Dali, of course, scoffed at such talk.

Heavenly Human Realm.

He could cultivate it using his buttocks.

Nothing that complex was needed.

Having thoroughly discussed with Wang Yuyan and outlined the new Cross Training Martial Arts technique ”Golden Bell Unbreakable Body” in these two days,

He spent tens of thousands of Cultivation Points and Potential Points he’d accumulated over these days.

He completely merged ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill” with the ”Sun and Moon Golden Bell Shield” and added many theoretical ideas from himself and Wang Yuyan, successfully creating his unique Cross Training Divine Skill ”Golden Bell Unbreakable Body”!

Once this Cultivation Technique was created, it immediately reached the 2nd state of Initial Insight and was classified as a Divine Skill in the Heavenly Human Realm.

Despite not having a higher Martial Arts level than ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill”,

Jiang Dali knew that ”Golden Bell Unbreakable Body” was stronger for him than the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill.”

Because, this was a Cross Training Divine Skill ”tailor-made” for himself.

It represented that his Cross Training System was completely established, embarking on his path, rather than following others.

Hereafter, ”Golden Bell Unbreakable Body” would constantly be refined and strengthened as his understanding of Cross Training deepened, becoming even more powerful and more perfect.

While this Cross Training Divine Skill had already brought his combat ability and style to its fullest expression,

it was under such an invigorated state that through the discussions of Players on the Jianghu Forum Yingtianfu section, Jiang Dali also came to know that the Ming Emperor had been informed today about the Fake Golden Throne Hall within Hulong Manor.

As expected, the Ming Emperor was extremely enraged.

He had to be angry because by the time the news reached his ears, the Players with big mouths had already spread it throughout the city.

This rage, in fact, came somewhat belatedly.

It might have just been the Ming Emperor putting on a show for the public, but he had already known before the news had spread throughout the city and was constantly pondering countermeasures.

Accompanied by the news of his fury, the Ming Emperor also immediately summoned the Iron Gall Divine Constable at great haste.

Unbeknownst to him, the Iron Gall Divine Constable had already left Yingtianfu a day earlier and had informed the Emperor that the news of the Fake Golden Throne Hall was a plot by the Black Wind Village Chief to frame and entrap him, urging him not to trust it and that he would immediately return to handle and capture the Song Country’s malefactor, the Black Wind Village Chief.

This statement was, of course, just an excuse.

The Ming Emperor also cooperated by immediately showing a stance of thorough investigation but willing to give the Iron Gall Divine Constable time to deal with it, ordering the constable to provide a satisfactory reply within seven days.

”Seven days...these two old foxes seem determined to settle their scores within these seven days.”

Jiang Dali sorted through the information leaked on the Jianghu Forum, his eyes flickering, ”The Ming Emperor wants to remove the Iron Gall Divine Constable, but who can he rely on now? And where is he exactly at this moment?”

Such an outcome did not surprise Jiang Dali at all.

His purpose, from beginning to end, was to force the Ming Emperor and the Iron Gall Divine Hou into a dog-eat-dog fight.

Now, the goal had been achieved.

Within seven days, there would surely be one or even several very terrifying and intense confrontations between these two.

The Ming Emperor was willing to give one extra day, letting the Iron Gall Divine Constable leave Yingtianfu first before he showed a temper of fury and sent out summonses.

This was also out of concern for the strength of the Iron Gall Divine Constable, not daring to let him stay too close after the death of the old eunuch and other experts, thus preferring to strategically withdraw and let the Divine Constable leave first.

The reason the Iron Gall Divine Constable was willing to leave voluntarily, instead of staying in Yingtianfu and putting the Emperor in an awkward position,

was mainly because the sudden discovery of the Fake Golden Throne Hall and the raid on his den threw him into disarray and guiltiness, prompting him to leave proactively.

This was firstly because he did not dare to gamble on the Emperor’s determination to kill him, to avoid being trapped inside Yingtianfu; better to escape before collapsing from unsturdy walls.

Secondly, being alone and unsupported in the Imperial City, he must first retreat from Yingtianfu to regroup and gather his forces to be able to accomplish anything.

”Thirdly, it’s possible that... until now, the Iron Gall Divine Constable has probably not even found the Ming Emperor’s hiding place. Even if he wanted to act, there is nothing he could do about it.”

Jiang Dali sat on the rosewood Taishi Chair, eyes closed as he pondered, then thought about whether the Ming Emperor would employ the people from Cihang Jingzhai to eliminate the Divine Constable en route.

The answer was a definite yes!

Within these seven days, the Ming Emperor absolutely wanted the Iron Gall Divine Constable dead.

Whether or not the Divine Constable was involved in the creation of the Fake Golden Throne Hall or harbored any treasonous intentions was no longer important.

Even if the Iron Gall Divine Constable was truly loyal, he still had to die.

This was because the current Ming Emperor, with the death of the old eunuch and others, was seriously lacking in security and was afraid that any direct lineage with royal family blood suitable as successors would suffer this time around.

He had just come to this realization.

Suddenly, Jiang Dali heard Wang Yuyan outside let out a low exclamation.

At the same time, he felt a special, faint Qi Mechanism appear in the outer courtyard, a familiar yet strangely alien Qi Mechanism.

”Hmm? Is this...people from Cihang Jingzhai? They’ve actually found this place? Seems like they are coming for me.”

Jiang Dali opened his eyes, a glint of odd brilliance flashing through them...

...
