"The left alliance actually discovered the sleeping place of Orochi, and it was from there that they obtained Orochi’s poison blood. They also surmise that the Divine Grass Cutter Sword might be hidden in that sleeping place?"
"Hiss—"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dali’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was secretly alarmed, and he thought of some discrepancies.
Dongfang Bubai had told him earlier that Orochi had been cut into eight pieces and sealed by successive generations of the Emperor collaborating with experts from Ying Country.
What Dongfang found was just one of the sealing places.
The part of Orochi in that sealing place was in an awakened state, extremely dangerous.
However, the Orochi mentioned by the left alliance was in a sleeping state, so it must be another sealing place.
Moreover, there is even a suspicion that the Divine Grass Cutter Sword exists within that sealing place.
"The left alliance told me these, clearly because they couldn’t access it themselves, so they used it as a resource to exchange for benefits from me.
While I guard Lingyun Cave, I’m indifferent to Orochi, but now that Dongfang is interested in Orochi...
Resources that can strengthen an ally are also a pretty good resource..."
As Jiang Dali pondered, Cao Cao appeared at that very moment.
A sudden gust of wind brought the rustling sound of clothes billowing.
Dongfang Bubai’s figure in red clothes approached with a "swoosh," like a red cloud.
With a wave of His hand, His sleeves billowed, and a force of Qi Force directly knocked the left alliance members seven or eight steps back, His bright gaze suddenly fell on the stone box in Jiang Dali’s hand.
"Do you want it?"
Jiang Dali tossed the stone box.
Dongfang Bubai glanced at the left alliance members with authoritative cold eyes, "No. I just didn’t expect something with no use for abnormal people to have such an item."
Saying so, His gaze suddenly locked onto Wu Lei, who looked miserable, and with a slight tremor of fingers in His sleeve, He was about to act.
"Hey!~"
Jiang Dali raised his hand to stop, speaking calmly, "If you kill him, you’ll allow him to escape. Though he’s a minor role, he’s provoked me several times. I don’t want him to leave that easily just yet."
Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly, giving up on killing, then looked at Jiang Dali, "It seems you’ve agreed to cooperate with them. I’m very interested in how they got this poison blood."
Jiang Dali casually slipped the poison blood into his arms, saying, "I know you’re interested. Otherwise, do you think I’d easily change my mind?"
Saying so, he looked at the earnest big man and said, "You’re called Feng Ruhuo, right? Go back and tell the real boss of your left alliance that just these three displays of sincerity aren’t enough.
I still want more information about the Divine Martial Country, Ying Country, and the ancient tomes of the world.
And by the way, it would be best if you have intelligence on the Holy Dynasty.
If you can satisfy this village chief, whatever you wish to obtain won’t leave you disappointed either."
After contemplating internally, Jiang Dali felt that sparing the left alliance for now wasn’t problematic.
Once, he spared the Yun Family to utilize them for acquiring ancient tome information.
He could also spare the left alliance to use them for accessing other ancient tome information.
The intelligence from the Four Great Families might have overlaps, but they may not be entirely the same.
Using these families to gain more intelligence on ancient tomes was highly beneficial for him.
Moreover, these families currently posed no real threat to him.
As for their ambitious hearts, they were trivial to someone like him now.
Feng Ruhuo and the left alliance members were overjoyed when Jiang Dali finally relented and quickly thanked him with gratitude.
Feng Ruhuo bowed with sincerity, "Thank you, village chief, for your leniency. Since we’ve now established preliminary cooperation, I have to report a piece of information that can’t be fully confirmed yet.
Our informant in the Imperial City reports that the Emperor is very displeased with your recent actions in Ying Country.
Because of this, formidable figures led by the likes of Purple Lightning and Fierce Thunder from the Purple Qi Sect seem to be on their way to the No God Absolute Palace. I urge the village chief to be cautious..."
Having said this, Feng Ruhuo and the others left Wu Lei behind, gave their respects, and hurriedly departed.
If they hadn’t reached an agreement with Jiang Dali this time, in an ongoing antagonistic relationship, they naturally wouldn’t have disclosed this last piece of information, hoping to use Purple Lightning and Fierce Thunder to strike the Black Wind Village Chief.
But now that an agreement has been reached, it’s appropriate to offer a gesture of goodwill.
"Does the Emperor underestimate Jiang Dali, or does he truly believe that Purple Lightning and Fierce Thunder are powerful enough? Hmph, do they intend to deal with me, the Black Wind Village Chief, without acting personally?"
Jiang Dali stood with folded arms, a disdainful sneer on his face.
Dongfang Bubai remarked calmly, "Purple Lightning and Fierce Thunder are the sect masters of the Purple Qi Sect. Purple Lightning belongs to yin, and Fierce Thunder to yang.
It’s said that these two are both experts at the Heavenly Human 6th Realm, but combined, they harmonize yin and yang, with ever-increasing power. Perhaps they could even contend with experts of the Heavenly Human 9th Realm.
Moreover, with their ten Great Qi Refiners forming the Purple Qi Tiangang Formation, their strength is extraordinary."
Jiang Dali’s gaze flickered slightly, thinking, "Previously, left alliance’s ancient tomes recorded that these two surpassed the strength of Heavenly Persons.
Now Dongfang says they’re at the Heavenly Human 6th Realm, though still very strong, they aren’t as formidable as their future selves would be.
If that’s the case, then running into them this time would be the perfect opportunity to eliminate these two."
Jiang Dali looked at Dongfang Bubai, his eyes bright, "Since they’re this strong, do you think our combined strength could take them down before we leave, and send the Emperor a great gift?"
"You truly are confident."
Dongfang Bubai’s lips curved slightly, "The Emperor is confident that Purple Lightning and Fierce Thunder can take you down, yet you have the confidence to take them down instead.
I, too, am curious to see whose confidence will prevail."
Jiang Dali laughed heartily, "I’ve never lost in terms of confidence."
As he spoke, he exerted strength with a single arm.
He lifted Wu Lei, looking at this player who showed resentment and no fear of him.
A slight smile curled his lips, and he spoke,
"I know that you abnormal people aren’t afraid of death.
You’re also not afraid of being imprisoned by me.
Because for you, the greatest punishment would be the left alliance abandoning you.
This means that from now on, you’ll lose the protection of the left alliance and the foundation for standing in this world.
Comparatively, whether I imprison you becomes somewhat irrelevant."
Wu Lei shuddered all over, staring in astonishment at Jiang Dali.
This expression showed that everything was just as Jiang Dali said—he was already fearless.
The moment Jue Wushen didn’t die, he knew that his journey in the Mixed Martial Arts World had ended.
The left alliance would no longer use someone as reckless as him and would choose to abandon him and curry favor with the Black Wind Village Chief.
Even if the Black Wind Village Chief imprisoned him, he need not fear anything.
Because from this point on, he would completely exit the Mixed Martial Arts World, never log on again, and all the benefits and perks in reality would be completely revoked, even facing hefty compensations for breach of contract.
After more than seven days, his body in the Mixed Martial Arts World would forever become a corpse, unable to log on or be resurrected.
This was also the only way for players to escape imprisonment—by remaining offline for seven consecutive days while in a kidnapped state, thus abandoning their body in the Mixed Martial Arts World.
But this abandonment also meant a reset.
Trying to have a second life would be utterly impossible.
This was also the way Jiang Dali currently knew to permanently eliminate a player: imprison them until they mentally collapse and give up.
Wu Lei thought that after Jiang Dali said this, he would follow an unconventional path to recruit him.
To use him to learn about and investigate the situation of the left alliance, rather than continue meaningless punishment.
Instantly, boundless hope and mockery surged in his heart.
As long as Jiang Dali truly intended this, then he would become valuable once again.
The left alliance would also once again entrust him with great responsibilities, using his relationship with Jiang Dali to form a restraint.
As for helping the Black Wind Village Chief monitor the left alliance, that was impossible, he could only play along.
However, Jiang Dali’s next words made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Come on! Take this left alliance fearless hero away, pierce through his scapula, break his limb bones, and imprison him completely!"
"Woooo!!"
Wu Lei’s eyes widened and he whimpered, being dragged away by a few Eight Desolate Disciples who rushed up like wolves, laughing sinisterly.
The hope that had just ignited in his heart was instantly extinguished again, even more desperate and angry than before.
This native NPC Black Wind Village Chief had caused him to end up in such a state, yet he was still toying and tormenting him.
Who exactly is the player, and who is the one being played!!
...
Except for dealing with players who are difficult to tame by normal means, Jiang Dali would choose to toy with them, while with any other enemies, he would only choose to reason with them.
Because reasoning is the most convenient and polite way of greeting.
Very few enemies would find his reasoning unconvincing.
If there truly were such a rare existence, then just use a little more force.
So when he learned that the Emperor had already sent Purple Lightning Fierce Thunder to deal with him.
Jiang Dali had already decided to find these enemies and convince them with reason.
However, perhaps the words spoken earlier were too prophetic.
Or perhaps Ximen Chuixue’s sour face was indeed more prone to disaster. Updates are released by novel·fire.net
The first ones found by Purple Lightning Fierce Thunder and the other Emperor’s lackeys were not Jiang Dali, but surprisingly Ximen Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng.
After leaving No God Absolute Palace to catch up with Ximen Chuixue, Lu Xiaofeng learned that Ximen Chuixue didn’t want to reunite with everyone; he only wanted to return alone, so he also dismissed the idea of forcing Ximen Chuixue to return.
Also, considering Jiang Dali’s mention of the Emperor’s revenge, he didn’t abandon Ximen Chuixue but instead accompanied him, the two preparing to discreetly return to Song Country.
As a result, before they had run far, players traveling at night recognized their identities on the way.
The message quickly reached the ears of the Purple Qi Sect people heading to No God Absolute Palace.
Headed by Purple Lightning Fierce Thunder, the Purple Qi Sect calculated.
If they could capture Ximen Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng first.
Whether using them to threaten the Black Wind Village Chief or preemptively eliminating effective combat power beside the enemy, this was the best choice.
So they immediately changed plans and pursued Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue, launching a ferocious encirclement and interception.
If not for the Eight Desolate Disciples obtaining the news on Jianghu Forum and promptly finding Jiang Dali to report.
Jiang Dali wouldn’t have noticed that these two unlucky fellows were already helping him block blades on the road.
Opening Jianghu Forum to take a look.
He saw the related combat video.
Ximen Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng, despite joining forces, found themselves at a disadvantage, trapped by the Purple Qi Tiangang Formation set up by nine of the ten Great Qi Ninjas of the Purple Qi Sect. No matter how they attacked, they couldn’t break through, falling into a bitter struggle.
And in the video, it was clear to see Purple Lightning Fierce Thunder and his companion only hovering nearby, waiting for an opportunity, but not immediately taking action, leisurely like a cat toying with a mouse.
Seeing this, Jiang Dali no longer delayed.
Now that his brothers were being beaten up outside.
As a big boss, he certainly had to show up and restore the situation.
If arrogant Ximen Chuixue getting beaten was one thing, it would be fitting to rename him Ximen Chuxue to take the edge off, also for when he couldn’t hold back from beating him personally someday.
But Lu Xiaofeng, with his small stature, needed to be rescued immediately; otherwise, despite his Heavenly Human 1st Realm strength, he might accidentally get killed if not careful.
Immediately, Jiang Dali, pulling along the half-drunk Xiao Feng, calling on Ye Gucheng who came upon hearing the news, Dongfang Bubai, and Murong Qingqing, among others, split into two teams, rapidly rushing towards the battle zone like the wind.
This group left in a hurry, also fully witnessed by the players.
Instantly, the Jianghu Forum became lively again.
Some players watching the battle at the scene knew that the Black Wind Village Chief’s boss fighting group had already formed a team on the way.
Suddenly, Ying Country players boldly approached the battle scene, found Purple Lightning Fierce Thunder and his companion, and tattled...
