Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

After the initial few days allotted for the players to make their way, the first Martial Arts tournament of the Black Wind Martial World officially began today. The preliminary stage, in over forty divisions of Black Wind Village, commenced almost simultaneously. Over 300,000 players scattered across these divisions are expected to be reduced by more than two-thirds today.

Jiang Dali did not bother with the specifics of the competition rules.

He felt that he already had enough troublesome matters to deal with, and there was no need to worry about such trivial things.

Although there wasn’t any top-notch managerial talent who could hold the fort in the mountain village, there were still plenty of second-tier management personnel who could formulate reasonable systems and rules to ensure that the competition was fair, just, and proceeded smoothly.

What Jiang Dali needed to do was simply continue harvesting the ’chives’ during this period.

Therefore, even though the tournament officially began, he didn’t make an appearance to watch it personally. Instead, he confidently left the prison and went down the mountain to meet with many newcomers who had gathered in the Martial Arts Discussion Hall, according to the summoning order.

These newcomers seeking refuge were just a part of the recent large influx of people to the Black Wind Village, mostly gathering and waiting at Divine Iron City.

After perusing the submitted register, Jiang Dali took interest in a few individuals and decided to meet them personally.

Otherwise, if he had to meet every single one of the numerous strong experts joining daily, he would have no time for anything else.

At this moment, the group of newcomers congregated inside the Martial Arts Discussion Hall. Some were closing their eyes to rest, appearing calm and composed, while others were chatting with acquaintances in low voices, or simply sipping tea quietly.

Judging by their gaze and demeanor, these were formidable experts not to be underestimated, all behaving appropriately, clearly having weathered many storms in the martial world.

However, there was one person in the group who, despite his constant attempts to ingratiate himself, nodding and bowing in a friendly manner at everyone, was mostly avoided. The others looked at him with disdain and mockery.

Even the two Internal Affairs Elders responsible for hospitality at Divine Iron City seemed reluctant to approach him too closely.

So much so, that although this person was sitting among them, he seemed less like a guest and more like someone awaiting interrogation.

Of course, he was not a prisoner.

But his once sensitive identity doomed him to not belonging here.

Since he appeared here, he was destined to be treated this way.

Fortunately, not everyone was intimidated by his former identity.

Someone still chose to sit in the seat to his right, preventing an unusual gap from forming among the seats in the hall.

The person who dared to sit next to him was a man with disheveled long hair draping over his shoulders.

His complexion was dark, eyes like flickering lightning, clad in black beast-hide attire resembling that of the Mongolian tribe, slender yet possessing large bones, exuding a primal, wild charm. Judging by his imposing aura alone, one could tell he was not an easy character to contend with.

He was one of the twelve Heavenly Human Realm experts seated there—Chamu Long!

The other Heavenly Human Realm expert was someone who was the life of the gathering, chatting happily with everyone. Despite his ordinary appearance, his large joints and mysterious expression marked him as a renowned martial arts expert—Dugu Fang.

Among the twelve martial arts experts who had come to Divine Iron City seeking refuge, these two were by far the most significant.

Next in uniqueness was a pale-faced man in a long, wide-sleeved and bright yellow garment, wearing a tall yellow hat—the most comically absurd.

In the martial world, such a clownish disguise was naturally associated with the infamous clown and head steward of the former World Association under Xiong Ba’s command—Wen Chouchou!

He was the chief steward of the once-greatest faction in the martial world, the World Association, which had been wiped out by Black Wind Village not long ago.

Someone who should have been hunted and killed by Black Wind Village.

Yet he dared to come to Divine Iron City to seek asylum with the Black Wind Village Chief?

Was it boldness courting death or sheer ignorance?

He was certainly not ignorant.

Intelligent people could see through his scheme, yet had to admire his cunning and audacity, although this did not stop many from disdaining and keeping their distance from him.

Back when the World Association, under Xiong Ba’s leadership, dominated many countries, Wen Chouchou reaped countless people’s hatred with his power.

When the World Association fell, he naturally became the target of numerous former enemies of the World Association’s relentless pursuit, trapped without an escape.

If the pursuit by the World Association’s numerous enemies was terrifying, the siege by Black Wind Village and Unrivaled City on the remnants of the World Association was even more dreadful.

Under such dire circumstances, Wen Chouchou naturally faced a dangerous predicament with no way out.

Yet, in his cleverness, he boldly appeared at Divine Iron City, declaring his willingness to hand over all of Xiong Ba’s secretly amassed wealth and to seek sanctuary with the Black Wind Village Chief.

Upon this announcement, Liao Rushen, who was overseeing Divine Iron City at the time, naturally did not dare be negligent. He immediately took Wen Chouchou into the City Lord’s Mansion for control, intending to await instructions from the Village Chief Jiang Dali before properly handling him.

Thus, many enemies of the World Association who were chasing Wen Chouchou, including the people from Unrivaled City, all held back, helplessly watching Wen Chouchou being escorted into Divine Iron City to temporarily gain peace, with no one daring to break into Divine Iron City to act against him.

However, martial world people all knew that while Wen Chouchou was temporarily safe, his life still depended on the whims of Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali.

If the Black Wind Village Chief did not intend to spare this former World Association chief steward, then even after handing over all of Xiong Ba’s once-hidden reserves, Wen Chouchou would still meet a dead end.

This, not only did martial world people know, but Wen Chouchou himself also understood.

Yet he had no choice but to gamble.

Gamble, and there’s still a chance!

If he doesn’t gamble, he might not have survived to this day; he would have already been eliminated by numerous enemies in the Martial World.

Rather than hanging his life on the countless Martial World people who want him dead, living in constant fear and anxiety,

it’s better to entrust his life to the Black Wind Village Chief alone. Better to bear less worry, sleep more peacefully, and if he can die at the hands of such a hero as the Black Wind Village Chief, wouldn’t he be receiving the same treatment as the Gang Leader Xiong Ba? Dying would not be in vain!

...

When the sound of footsteps was heard outside the Martial Arts Discussion Hall.

The chatting voices of the people inside the hall immediately faded away, focusing their attention intently on the sound of those footsteps, especially the one that was the steadiest.

This footstep did not sound like those of the stout and fierce men who have cultivated Cross Training in the Martial World, whose steps are like drumbeats, heavy and aggressive. On the contrary, it gave a feeling of an old tree deeply rooted in Returning to Nature.

The next moment!

A figure as hefty and towering as a small mountain, clad in a black large cloak, strode into the hall, seemingly blocking out more than half of the sunlight at the doorway, transmitting a strong sense of oppression throughout the hall, intimidating everyone present.

Many experts swiftly held their breath and stood up together, bowing respectfully with clasped fists towards Jiang Dali, who had appeared and was scanning everyone present.

"Salute the Black Wind Village Chief!"

"Hmm! All of you can sit."

Jiang Dali casually waved his hand, his eyes glancing over Wen Chouchou, who had a pale face yet was pretending to be calm and smiling forcedly, then taking the lead to walk towards the head seat.

After everyone quickly stepped aside, watching Jiang Dali take the lead in sitting down, only then did they dare to take their seats, their gaze never daring to leave Jiang Dali’s body even for a moment.

A person’s name, a tree’s shadow.

Even though those like Chamu Long and Dugu Fang, who are Heavenly Human Realm experts and are dominators in the Martial World,

they were still cautious as quails, not daring to be negligent in front of the Black Wind Evil Star, who had unknown numbers of Heavenly Realm experts’ lives in his hands.

Even though Jiang Dali was just sitting and drinking tea, casually exchanging small talk with everyone, the crowd remained upright and solemn in their responses, much like children appearing cautious in front of their strict teacher.

As Jiang Dali chatted with these twelve individuals, he was also familiarizing himself more deeply with these followers through this face-to-face interaction.

Simultaneously, he was probing and stimulating with words to see if any of them had come with hostile intents disguised as allies, particularly testing Chamu Long, these two Heavenly Experts.

He was already well acquainted with all the information about these twelve people from the roster.

Some of them, he also understood quite well through some ancient texts and incidents from his past life, so they were not unfamiliar.

Among the twelve, Wen Chouchou had a special identity, so it was put aside for now.

Chamu Long, however, had a substantial background.

According to the information Liao Rushen obtained through Hawk Castle, this person was originally the Clan Leader of the Chamu Clan in Shu, responsible for guarding a creature referred to as Divine Dragon and Eight Dragon Balls.

But later, he encountered a group of Martial World people who invaded the clan, the Chamu Clan was wiped out at that time, the so-called Divine Dragon was slaughtered, and the Dragon Balls were all snatched away. It was rumored that this person was also knocked off a cliff, life or death unknown.

Unexpectedly, he was still alive and even became a Heavenly Expert.

Sure enough, those who fall off a cliff and survive tend to end up benefiting from disasters.

Last year when Chamu Long reemerged in the Martial World, he began seeking revenge for the enemies of his past.

But now coming to seek refuge, he very likely had something to ask for, and Jiang Dali certainly wouldn’t think of this person as too simple.

As for Dugu Fang, this Heavenly Realm expert, he was also someone with fortuitous encounters in his early years.

The Martial Arts he practiced were rumored to be from the "Mystic Sky Treasure Record" created by Master Guang Chengzi, passed down to the world.

The Mystic Sky Treasure Record is composed of the Mystic Sky Seven Swords, Mystic Sky Finger, Youxian Illusion Nine Rings, and other high-level martial arts cultivation mental methods.

However, what Dugu Fang cultivated were only fragments of the Mystic Sky Treasure Record, such as the Mystic Sky Finger and Youxian Illusion Nine Rings martial arts.

Adding to that, he later obtained the Ancient Martial Arts Secret Manual "Mysterious Origin Scripture" left by King Gou Jian of Warring States’ capable minister Fan Li, using these two powerful martial arts, he slowly cultivated to the Heavenly Human Realm, earning a big reputation in the Martial World.

However, according to what Dugu Fang candidly disclosed as his reason for seeking refuge, he recently offended some formidable experts.

The opponents not only covet the Martial Arts Secret Manual in his hand but also want his life; thus, he decided to seek refuge with Jiang Dali, pleading for Jiang Dali’s help to resolve these enemies.

As a condition, Dugu Fang not only was willing to join Black Wind Village but also willing to hand over the Martial Arts Secret Manual in his possession...
