Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

There was also a pool of water inside Lingyun Cave, which was a bit of an oddity, but since this cavern lay at the confluence of the Three Rivers, with countless intersecting tunnels running in all directions, it was perfectly normal for underground water to bubble up here and there to form a pool or two.

After roughly rinsing the sweat and blood off his body in the pool, Jiang Dali put on the heavy Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, which was already damaged in several places, then left the Fire Qilin and Guang Chengzi’s Immortal Bone Relics inside Lingyun Cave, mounted the Demon Dragon, and departed.

He would continue exploring Lingyun Cave in the future.

After all, the cave was rich in Treasures, and it still held Da Fantian’s remains and legacy, of immense value. But he already planned to leave the related exploration to the Fire Qilin remaining within the cave.

Once the Fire Qilin discovered any important area worth attention, it would notify Guang Chengzi’s Immortal Bone Relics left in the cave; at that time, the portion of his Primordial Spirit injected into Guang Chengzi’s Immortal Bone Relics would awaken and accompany the Fire Qilin in exploration.

This way of having your main body outside while an Avatar hangs idle in a dungeon to hunt for Treasure had a very strong Player flavor to it—like using a smurf account to farm loot while the main account roamed the Martial World.

However, the limitations and hidden dangers were also quite obvious.

The most serious hidden danger was that if the Primordial Spirit remained inside Guang Chengzi’s Immortal Bone Relics for too long, it might mutate and slip out of his control, even causing this corpse to ”return from the dead,” break free of the main Primordial Spirit’s control, and turn on its master.

Therefore, the portion of Primordial Spirit Jiang Dali had driven into Guang Chengzi’s Immortal Bone Relics usually stayed dormant and isolated from the flesh shell, to avoid entering a State where Spirit and Essence Qi merged; only with Spirit and Essence Qi kept in long-term ”non-union” could the safety be maximized.

...

In less than half a stick of incense, Jiang Dali rode the Demon Dragon out of Lingyun Cave. A gust of mist and the noisy voices from the opposite bank hit him in the face, lifting his spirits. He couldn’t help but let out a long howl, like a Hidden Dragon’s low chant, making the River outside rumble with surging waves.

”Aaaaooo——”

The Demon Dragon, freed from the cramped cavern, plunged into the lake in excitement, blasting up a sky-high column of water that fell like rain, splashing great ripples across the surging surface. The water was thrown into chaos; all the fish and beasts scattered in panic, drawing startled cries from the shore.

”Big Sis, that’s the Black Wind Village Chief? What a ferocious man indeed. I didn’t expect his dragon to be this huge—it really matches the rumors.”

In a carriage farther off on the opposite bank, a blue-clothed young girl’s bright eyes flashed constantly with excitement as she stared fixedly at the scene of the River churning over there, anxiously searching for the dragon’s shadow in the water. Witnessing such a spectacle sent her heart into turmoil; she hurriedly reached back to tug at the Purple-clothed woman behind her.

The Purple-clothed woman had been cold as ice, yet upon seeing the girl like this, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. She said lightly, ”Third Sister, weren’t you saying earlier that you had to see this Black Wind Village Chief with your own eyes to know if his reputation was undeserved? How is it that after just one glimpse, you’re this excited already? Don’t tell me you’ve been conquered by his heroic aura?”

”Ah?”

The blue-clothed girl froze for a moment, then her ears turned red. She immediately lowered her delicate head and weakly tried to explain, ”I just—it’s just that it’s my first time seeing a dragon this big, of course I’d get a little excited. But if this Black Wind Village Chief wants to make me truly submit, that won’t be so easy.”

The Purple-clothed woman smiled at this. ”Very well, then we’ll go over now and see whether this Black Wind Village Chief can win my Third Sister’s heartfelt respect.”

With that said, before she could give further orders, the four burly men outside the carriage were already moving in unison, and the horses pulling the carriage began to move along with them, needing no urging from the Coachman—remarkably intelligent.

This odd scene, heading straight toward the cordon, instantly drew the notice of the Black Wind Village Players who had been watching this carriage for some time. Someone immediately stepped forward to intercept and question them.

Boom——!

A massive wave crashed onto the shore.

The Demon Dragon’s claws seized the air as it surged out with the wave. Its huge, powerfully built ink-black body, every scale gleaming under the water’s light, thumped down by the bank, carrying more than half of Jiang Dali’s Body.

Clang!——

Clang!——

Jiang Dali, clad in pitch-black, ferocious Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, landed heavily like a Demon God. He stood there at ease with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping around as he sized up the faces of the many Black Wind Village members nearby.

A crowd rushed over at this moment. Leading them was none other than the refined and dashing Leshan Branch Squad Leader, Dongfang Jian, along with the Yin Feng Double Killers and the others. All of them bowed from three zhang away toward Jiang Dali.

”Subordinates pay respects to the village chief!”

”Mm.”

Jiang Dali gave a faint nod in response. The Mystic Ice Mask on his helmet snapped open with a sudden click, revealing his rough yet handsome, hard-featured face. Suddenly sensing something, he turned his head to look at a carriage outside the cordon that was being inspected.

Almost at the very instant his gaze swept into the distance—

The carriage curtain ”just happened” to be lifted halfway, as if by a gust of wind, revealing two women inside, one in blue and one in purple. The Purple-clothed woman, graceful and veiled in light gauze, met Jiang Dali’s gaze head-on for a brief instant, before their line of sight was cut off again as the curtain dropped back down.

When everyone followed Jiang Dali’s line of sight in surprise, they only saw the curtain fall back into place. They hadn’t seen the two women inside at all, and couldn’t help quietly muttering in their hearts.

”Dongfang.”

Jiang Dali spoke, thoughtful.

”Subordinate is here!”

Dongfang Jian immediately bowed.

”Escort our honored guests in the carriage to the sub branch and see that they are properly entertained. I will meet them later.”

Jiang Dali said mildly, then stamped his foot on the Demon Dragon. At once, amid a surge of crashing waves and a dragon’s roar, he rode the dragon into the air and away. While he was still in midair, his gaze again drifted toward the carriage below, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes.

”What’s the background of those two... The four attendants at their side are all Heavenly Human Realm experts, and their own strength is no weak thing either. I wonder what power sent them.”

...

Inside the carriage, the two women who had just been swept by Jiang Dali’s gaze both felt their hearts tremble, their Spirit shaken. They each felt that his single glance seemed to pierce straight through their Bodies, seeing every secret in the depths of their Spirit—it was no less intimidating than when their father was enraged. In an instant, they put away the last trace of contempt and arrogance in their hearts.

”Young mistresses, this Black Wind Village Chief must have at least Returning to Truth stage 5 strength. Even in the Holy Dynasty, he would count as a major figure.”

Outside the carriage, a steady attendant respectfully reminded them.

”Returning to Truth stage 5 and above... and so young. This Black Wind Village Chief indeed has boundless prospects.”

The Purple-clothed woman silently nodded.

Just then, the sound of hoofbeats came from afar, and a clear, bright voice called out.

”Honored guests ahead, our village chief invites you! Please move to our sub branch so that we may talk.”

The blue-clothed girl lifted the curtain and glanced outside. Suppressing the tremor in her heart, she returned to her Ben Se, snorted, and said, ”Big Sis, that Black Wind Village Chief saw us yet didn’t come to welcome us himself, and even sent his men to greet us.”

The Purple-clothed woman smiled helplessly, her beautiful eyes fixing deeply on her for a moment before saying, ”Third Sister, these vassal states are not like the Holy Dynasty. As they say, a powerful dragon doesn’t suppress the local snake. We have come from afar as guests. When you meet this Black Wind Village Chief in person later, you must not speak so arrogantly again. Don’t forget what Father told us about the purpose of this trip.”
