Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Chapter 901: Chapter 718: The Sword Casting Invitation and Suspicious Matters

”Black Wind Village Chief, you struck too hard! You almost crippled my apprentice.”

Guan Yutian finished examining Ren Qianxing’s injuries and returned to the main stage with a grim face, rebuking.

Jiang Dali smiled calmly and said indifferently, ”Alliance Leader Guan, you might be pampering your subordinates too much. If not for the agreement to suppress power, my punch just now would have been enough to kill him. Alliance Leader Guan should know, a fledgling must eventually soar, and too much concern only stifles his growth.”

Guan Yutian frowned, let out a cold snort, and said with a wave of his sleeve, ”How I teach my disciples is not something Village Chief Jiang needs to worry about.

Since the matter is now settled, I will promptly present the ’Mighty Dragon Divine Palm’ and ’One Sword Separates Life’ manuals to you. Village Chief Jiang, how will you fulfill the agreement to hand over Sea Shark Palace?”

”Hahaha. That’s a small matter.”

Jiang Dali laughed out loud, his gaze falling on Bai Ting.

Bai Ting, startled, immediately rose, cupped his hands respectfully, and said, ”Village Chief! Please give your command!”

”Hmm.”

Jiang Dali slightly raised his thick eyebrows, his eyes emitting a majestic light, and said, ”Bai Ting, during my absence, you’ve taken charge of Sea Shark Palace. Now, follow Alliance Leader Guan and ensure the complete transfer of Sea Shark Palace into his hands. Remember, anyone from the old faction of Sea Shark Palace who dares to resist, kill without mercy!”

”Yes!”

Bai Ting bowed respectfully and then stood up straight, looking at Guan Yutian with a smile and cupped hands, ”Alliance Leader Guan, rest assured, I will fully cooperate with the transfer of Sea Shark Palace.”

The onlookers, seeing Bai Ting’s compliance with Jiang Dali, all marked the Divine Fire Sect as complete traitors to the Yuan Country’s Martial World, and their fear of the Black Wind Village Chief deepened.

At this moment, Yao Yue stood up, looked at the Sword Master, and her eyes shone impatiently, ”Sword Master, now that Alliance Leader Guan and the Black Wind Village Chief have reached an agreement, isn’t it time to start the matter we agreed on? How much longer until you can forge the Lingshuang Sword?”

Hearing this, Liao Rushen, Baili Que, and others also turned their gazes towards the Sword Master.

The reason they all came to Sword Casting City—except for Liao Rushen who came of his own accord—was because they were invited, aiming for the legendary divine weapon, the Lingshuang Sword.

Among them, Baili Que and Yan Cangfeng purely wanted to witness the Lingshuang Sword that everyone in the Martial World desired.

Guan Yutian and Liao Rushen intended to seize the Lingshuang Sword.

But Yao Yue was not interested in the Lingshuang Sword.

Yet, she knew that once the Lingshuang Sword emerged, Yan Nantian, who had been missing from the Martial World for years, would surely come.

Because no peerless swordsman can resist the lure of a supreme divine sword.

As for the Sword Master inviting many people, it wasn’t just to handle Guan Yutian and the Black Wind Village Chief; it was to seize this opportunity to harness the collective power of everyone and the strength of the Nine Dragon Stone to successfully forge the Lingshuang Sword.

”It seems Sword Master and the others have their own agenda? Is it about the Lingshuang Sword? I wonder if this Village Chief has the honor to witness the Lingshuang Sword firsthand?”

Jiang Dali also turned his gaze to the Sword Master, showing a keen interest.

The Lingshuang Sword was first held by the legendary figure Six Paths.

Before being sealed in Mirror Lake, Six Paths injected magic power into the Lingshuang Sword to pass it down through the Martial World.

Now, people in the Martial World don’t know that the Lingshuang Sword is divided into two parts, the Heart Sword and the Demon Sword, also commonly known as the Life and Death Swords.

Either sword alone is considered a divine weapon.

The two combined are even more of a divine weapon among divine weapons, their true power unknown to Jiang Dali.

However, the Lingshuang Sword in Sword Casting City seems to already be damaged, and the Sword Master has been trying to repair it.

If he could...ahem...take a look at the legendary divine weapon infused with magic power, Jiang Dali thought it would be a worthwhile trip.

”Village Chief Jiang is too polite.”

The Sword Master looked at Jiang Dali, eyes gleaming, smilingly said, ”Since I invited the Village Chief here, you can certainly admire the Lingshuang Sword together.

However, my real reason for inviting such esteemed guests here is to ask a few of you to help in the forging of the Lingshuang Sword. Since you wish to participate, let’s join forces? After it’s done, my Sword Casting City will offer a great reward.”

Jiang Dali pondered, ”A great reward?”

The Sword Master laughed proudly, ”My Sword Casting City has stood in the Martial World not by force but by crafting rare divine weapons.

If the Dragon Slayer Sword on your back were given to me, I could refine it further and make it stronger.

Aside from Baijian Villa, Divine Iron Island, and Iron Gate, few forces can match our crafting standards.”

At this point, Jiang Dali felt a prompt appear on his panel.

”You have triggered the storyline task ’Sword Master’s Invitation’

Task Content: The Sword Master invites numerous top experts from the Yuan Country, aiming to forge the Lingshuang Sword with everyone’s power and the Nine Dragon Stone’s strength, and you expressed willingness to participate, leading to the Sword Master’s invitation.

Task Requirements: Participate in the forging of the Lingshuang Sword and infuse it with power!

Task Rewards: Reputation in Sword Casting City +3000, Sword Master’s favor +500, Cultivation Points 800, Potential Points 800, and a chance for the Sword Master to personally forge or enhance a divine weapon for you.

Accept?

”Infuse power into the Lingshuang Sword? Once the Lingshuang Sword is forged, how will the Sword Master keep it? Surely it can’t be as simple as it seems.”

Jiang Dali mused over the task prompt in his panel but ultimately chose to agree.

However, almost the moment he verbally agreed,

a red glow suddenly emanated from the Sword Master’s body.

”Hahaha, with the Black Wind Village Chief’s help, the process of forging the Lingshuang Sword will be much smoother. It’s truly a fortune for my Sword Casting City!”

The Sword Master laughed and said courteously.

Those around, including Guan Yutian and Liao Rushen, couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly, frowning secretly, guessing that Jiang Dali’s sudden participation might mean he’s also interested in the Lingshuang Sword, thus adding another competitor.

Only Baili Que and Yao Yue, who were not coveting the Lingshuang Sword, remained unchanged in their expression.

”Well said, well said.”

Jiang Dali’s eyes held a smile as he gazed at the Sword Master, who was emitting a faint red glow, and calmly asked, ”I wonder when the Sword Master plans to start forging the Lingshuang Sword?”

The Sword Master was about to speak.

Yao Yue coldly interjected, ”No rush, the person I’m waiting for hasn’t arrived yet. Let’s wait three more days, we’ll start after three days.”

”Wait three more days?”

Guan Yutian and Divine Lord Liao Ru frowned.

Delays could lead to changes. With a new player like the Black Wind Village Chief now involved, who knows what might happen in three days?

Furthermore, if the person Yao Yue is waiting for arrives, it would mean another strong competitor.

”No!”

Guan Yutian snorted coldly and looked at Yao Yue, ”Three days is too long. As the Alliance Leader, I have countless affairs to attend to. I don’t have time to linger here. If the Palace Master of Yao Yue doesn’t mind, let’s start tomorrow!”

Yao Yue’s expression instantly turned as icy as frost, and she coldly stared at Guan Yutian.

”Hmm?”

A gleam flashed in Guan Yutian’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold arc, ”Could it be that the Palace Master of Yao Yue is displeased with my arrangement?”

”Ah! You are both people of status and rank, why argue over such a trivial matter?”

The Sword Master quickly stepped out to mediate, advising, ”How about this: the day after tomorrow, I’ll open the Holy Land and formally begin forging the Lingshuang Sword. Tomorrow is actually a bit too soon.”

”Sword Master!”

Guan Yutian was displeased.

The Sword Master gently smiled and shook his head, lamenting, ”I mock myself for growing old and useless. Earlier, Hall Master Ren’s sword injured me quite a bit. I need some time to recover.”

Guan Yutian squinted his eyes, hearing the dissatisfaction in the Sword Master’s words. He snorted and looked at those like Jiang Dali and Divine Lord Liao Ru, who hadn’t stopped the conversation, then said with a faint smile, ”Fine! Since the Sword Master is injured by my disciple, I’ll give you one more day to recover. Hahaha!”

As he spoke, Guan Yutian’s laughter grew louder, proud and rampant. He turned and cupped his fists to Jiang Dali, ”The secret manual will be delivered to the Village Chief tonight. Guan bids farewell first!”

With those words, Guan Yutian flicked his sleeve and left.

Jiang Dali looked at the Sword Master, whose face was unpleasant, raised his hand, cupped his fists plainly, and said, ”In that case, I’ll stay in Sword Casting City for a couple more days.”

The Sword Master’s expression reluctantly eased, and he nodded with a smile towards Jiang Dali.

Then he immediately instructed an attendant beside him to lead Jiang Dali and his group to the prepared residence to rest.

Soon after, Yao Yue and others dispersed individually.

The Martial World people and players who had entered the city saw the big shots leave and felt unsatisfied, wanting to find some entertainment in the city. However, finding no casinos or art houses, they felt the place dull and many left Sword Casting City to seek fun elsewhere.

...

”Village Chief, since you don’t care much for swords, why agree to stay and help the Sword Master forge the Lingshuang Sword? Moreover, with Elder Yu’s capabilities in our mountain village and using the Earth Fire of Ice and Fire Island, it wouldn’t be weak compared to Sword Casting City’s divine weapons in the future.”

Inside the lodging, Wang Yuyan personally removed Jiang Dali’s cloak and protective bracelet and wiped his strong frame with a handkerchief. She asked in a confused tone.

Jiang Dali looked at his majestic physique in the bronze mirror, smiled faintly, and said, ”Though I don’t care much for swords, the Lingshuang Sword is indeed extraordinary. Divided into two, the Heart and Demon swords, if restored and combined, they could become a second-grade divine weapon of significant value.

Most importantly, the demonic power of the Six Paths infused in the Lingshuang Sword also greatly intrigues me...”

Murong Qingqing was both surprised and unsurprised, saying, ”Village Chief, do you mean... you intend to seize the Lingshuang Sword?”

Jiang Dali casually extended his hand, cooperating as Wang Yuyan, on tiptoe, dressed him in fragrant and soft casual attire, lightly laughed, and said, ”Of all who came to Sword Casting City, how many are not eyeing the Lingshuang Sword?”

Wang Yuyan was shocked and asked, ”In that case, why did the Sword Master invite so many people to collaborate on forging the Lingshuang Sword? Is he that confident he can protect it?”

”From the looks of it now, the Sword Master indeed seems to have something to rely on.”

Jiang Dali walked around the room with his hands clasped behind him, ”Think back to the Sword Master’s words and actions today. First, he mediated between Yao Yue and Guan Yutian, and then he endured Guan Yutian’s public mockery without complaint. This is his character.

His manner might not only show weakness to deceive others but also have greater designs.”

Murong Qingqing frowned, ”However, both you, the Village Chief, and Guan Yutian are not easy to deal with. The Sword Master knows this, yet still dares to plot. This indicates that there’s likely a big trap involved.”

”Indeed. It’s not just us who see this as a trap; Guan Yutian and the others aren’t fools either.”

Jiang Dali shook his head, ”But they participate despite sensing something amiss, each having their confidence.

If the Sword Master doesn’t rely on the strength of others, he might not be able to repair and forge the Lingshuang Sword in a short time, and Guan Yutian won’t give him much time.

Thus, the Sword Master might as well stir the water this time, inviting everyone to forge the Lingshuang Sword together. Once the sword is forged, let’s see who has the capability to take it. So far, he indeed seems very confident!”

At this point, Murong Qingqing suddenly twitched her ears, hearing the peculiar sound of tiles and the breaking wind nearby. Her cold, pretty eyes turned chill, ”Who!!”

Her slender fingers suddenly tapped on the case holding the Heavenly Demon Zither on the table.

”Thud!” With a sound.

A muffled sound wave, as if skipping a beat, instantly penetrated the wall, surging towards the uninvited guest outside.

”Calm down.”

Jiang Dali, with hands behind his back, calmly watched the window, ”Knowing this Village Chief is here yet still coming, they might not necessarily be enemies.”...
