Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Certainly, here’s the English translation preserving all the formatting and instructions:

The atmosphere fell into a moment of silent solidity.

At this moment, Jiang Dali was contemplating the authenticity of the content in the Ice God Couple’s words. If what they said was true, then they were characters from hundreds of years ago, before the God-searching Palace retreated from the Martial World.

After so many years, it’s normal to not find their deeds in the current Martial World events anymore.

Moreover, it was indeed possible that they were not strong at the time; hence their names were unknown, and their power grew only during these hundreds of years of being sealed by the Divine Skill.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dali looked at the Ice God Couple and said, "Since you two have long been following the God-searching Palace’s Law Enforcement Elder Fa Zhi to Divine Iron City, why did you leave at the critical moment to go to the border to deal with the Purple Robe Scripture King? Given your hatred for the God-searching Palace, it’s hard for me to believe that you would abandon confronting your enemy at such a time and turn to handle other matters."

"Exactly!"

The Ice Emperor’s face remained unmoved and said, "We indeed can’t let go of the people from the God-searching Palace, but while tracking Fa Zhi, we found that he came to Divine Iron City specifically for you. Although we withdrew from the Martial World, we awakened years ago and have heard of the affairs of the Martial World and your name.

Therefore, we did not directly act against Fa Zhi but wanted to see what he would do to your Divine Iron City. If he also offended you, the Black Wind Village Chief, that would be good for us."

"Oh?"

Jiang Dali didn’t get angry but smiled, and his voice suddenly turned cold, "So, you dare to test me? You are quite straightforward, hoping Fa Zhi will offend me so that I also become an enemy of the God-searching Palace. In this way, they will have one more formidable enemy, which you are glad to see."

The Divine Mother calmly replied, "Master, don’t be angry. We have no choice but to be cautious because we are uncertain whether you have some cooperation with the God-searching Palace or they came specifically to deal with you.

Although we want to obtain your help, we don’t want to be sheep in a tiger’s mouth. Only by maintaining distance and observing can we be sure of confessing allegiance to you.

Moreover...once the God-searching Palace truly targets you, given the arrogance of the Eternal Life God, they certainly won’t let go. Whether we interfere or not, eventually, you will be enemies, and we consider it a safety measure.

But now, Master, you have killed Fa Zhi and captured the Beast Slave. We have determined that you are our best ally. With your help, we can certainly kill the Eternal Life God."

The Divine Mother’s voice was cold, but it conveyed a soothing magic, subconsciously dissipating one’s anger and comforting the spirit.

Jiang Dali’s anger was mostly feigned. Hearing their explanation, his expression gradually softened.

Regardless of the truth in their words, since it cannot be determined, he was reluctant to judge them only based on their subsequent actions.

Immediately, he raised his teacup and toasted to them, "Since you value me, Jiang Dali, and have come to ally, then I, Jiang Dali, agree to join forces with your couple to confront the Eternal Life God of the God-searching Palace in the future.

However, you must know that there’s no free lunch in the Martial World. To gain something from others, you must also consider what you can offer."

The Ice Emperor and the Divine Mother exchanged a glance, then raised their cups together and said, "We don’t know what Master Jiang hopes for us to do. As long as it doesn’t violate Martial World morality and justice, we, as a couple, are absolutely willing to support you."

They were determined to establish a righteous and chivalrous persona because only with such a persona can they approach others without arousing hostility.

Jiang Dali smiled, "Naturally, I wouldn’t ask righteous people like you to do anything disreputable. However, I still have some territory and interests in Unrivaled City that need to be reclaimed.

If you are willing to help, why not accompany the delegation sent by me to assist in reclaiming the interests Black Wind Village deserves?

If this mater is handled well, I, Jiang Dali, will personally host a banquet to thank you both for your great assistance!"

The Ice Emperor and the Divine Mother looked at each other, then at Jiang Dali, nodded in agreement.

"If that’s the case, we are willing to alleviate Master’s worries!"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily and suddenly extended his cup to them, "In that case, let’s use tea as wine and toast for our successful collaboration in the future!"

"Ding!"

The three.

Three hands.

Three teacups clinked together.

Yet suddenly, they seemed to be welded together, not separating.

The Ice God Couple’s expressions tightened as they felt their cups clinging to Jiang Dali’s cup as if it were glued firmly, unable to move, and even the tea inside seemed to be absorbed, unable to move.

Almost simultaneously, the tea inside the three cups began boiling violently, white smoke rising, and the aroma surged upward, scalding hot.

Both knew this was Jiang Dali testing their power, promptly channeling their energy through their hands to resist.

Jiang Dali lightly grasped the teacup with one hand, gazing at the Ice God Couple’s grave expressions with a faint smile, "The tea’s flavor can only be savored when it’s warm; if it cools, the taste isn’t as good. Please, enjoy!"

Saying so, Jiang Dali adeptly tilted the cup slightly toward them.

The Ice Emperor and the Divine Mother suddenly felt an unstoppable terrifying force passing through their hands via the tilted cups, threatening to penetrate their meridians and probe the circulation of their True Qi and cultivation technique.

This was extremely disrespectful.

If Jiang Dali’s probing reached inside them, although he may not immediately determine their origin, he could deduce the secrets of their cultivation technique, making their claim of the "Ice God Technique" being sealed for a hundred years utterly impossible.

Such tea ceremony etiquette sparring may not be inappropriate, a subtle test, and they could find no grounds for rebuke, if their skills fell short, then it would be disgraceful and reveal flaws.

Instantly, they dared not slack and promptly gathered their powers to resist the Essence Qi trying to penetrate their meridians.

"Crack!"

The ground beneath the two’s feet and the stone tiles were shaken violently and couldn’t withstand the immense force, cracking open, as even the four legs of the seats emitted an unbearable creak, trembling violently.

In an instant, the Ice Emperor and Divine Mother were flushed, eyes wide open, sweating on their foreheads, their cultivation reaching the limit, as wisps of white smoke rose from their heads, drenched in sweat.

In contrast, Jiang Dali remained immovable as if sitting like a mountain with a golden knife, his tiger-like eyes shining with divine light. He looked at the two with a slightly oppressive smile, calm and unruffled, as the teacup in his hand slowly tilted, seemingly pressing towards them like the Taishan Mountain pressing style.

This forced the two’s raised teacups to retract under the immense pressure towards their chests, and with every inch retracted, the pressure increased, their jaws clenched tighter, and the Essence Qi invading their meridians increased, the pressure unimaginably immense.

Terror!

Terror!!

Terror!!!

This is the gap between them and the Black Wind Village Chief!

Such a gap has already reached such an extent!

The two felt if they didn’t make a final resistance, they would basically never recover. Disregarding dignity, they both shouted, enduring the injury and forcing the True Qi to reverse, forcibly breaking the invading Essence Qi. Taking advantage of that instant buffer, they bounced left and right to avoid it.

Pa la! —!

The Qi Force explosion of the three instantly shattered the two sturdy seats into fragments.

The Ice Emperor and Divine Mother both gave a muffled groan, each holding a cup of scalding hot tea, rotating their bodysides.

The Divine Mother extended her feet from beneath her black robe, landing in a posture that wasn’t truly embarrassing.

The Ice Emperor fell at a forty-five-degree position beside Jiang Dali, then gazed at Jiang Dali unsatisfactorily, raised his cup, and said.

"This cup of tea from the Chief is truly rare for anyone in the world to taste! I’ll drink it first as a form of respect!"

With that, the Ice Emperor raised his hand and downed the searing tea in one gulp, the scalding heat inside was instantly cooled by his icy Qi Force.

Divine Mother, noticing the intense atmosphere, immediately curbed her anger, took two steps forward, and uncommonly, rather than maintaining her usual aloofness, politely offered tea, "Chief, please don’t test us any further. We’ll drink this cup of tea thoroughly!"

"Hahaha! Good! Earlier, it was my mistake. Please do not blame me!"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily towards the sky, full of joy, brought the teacup to his nose, took a deep breath, and said, "Good wine should be shared with confidants! Good tea should be savored with friends! This cup of tea is truly fragrant!"

He opened his mouth wide, and the teacup was instantly emptied.

Divine Mother witnessed Jiang Dali’s heroic demeanor, smiled slightly, and also drank the tea in one gulp.

The three laughed together, this initial encounter stopping like these three cups of hot tea, a taste and then a pause.

The change and depth of human nature are forever inexpressible.

...

Two days later.

The first martial arts competition of the Black Wind Martial World thoroughly determined the top ten in each group in various sub-branch areas.

A total of 460 players from the top ten groups will head to the Dragon Tiger Gang at the former Power Gang site along the Yangtze River for the final competition.

The original location of the finals was supposed to be the Black Wind Village’s main village in Mengyin County, Hui Prefecture.

But as Black Wind Village developed to this day, it is no longer the inferior bandit den it once was, but a leading force on par with Shaolin and Wudang, about to ascend to a third-tier power.

As such, the former main village, Black Wind Mountain, whether from geographical location or venue, seems a bit shabby and not enough to accommodate many Martial World people visiting for the excitement.

Thus, the Dragon Tiger Gang, located in a transportation hub with convenient water and land traffic, became the ideal location for this martial arts competition.

During this final competition event, Wen Chouchou and other newly joined experts of Divine Iron City were all given job arrangements by Jiang Dali.

The negotiation team led by Wen Chouchou, bringing the Ice God Couple sitting in town, along with the newly joined Gang Qi Realm experts like Six Plate Taoist, headed to Divine Martial Country’s Unrivaled City to discuss with City Lord Dugu Yifang about the division of territory and resources of the World Association.

Jiang Dali also arranged for his former elder brother, Xiong Ba, to go to Divine Martial Country, instructing him to go to the sub-branch of the World Association that was captured by the village members to handle myriad post-war management affairs.

The downfall of Xiong Ba’s World Association, and then handing over the responsibility to another Xiong Ba for taking over, this feeling seems pretty good too.

And after the negotiation team set off.

Jiang Dali personally met with the three Eight Desolate Disciples welcomed by the Fire King and others to Divine Iron City, learning from them about the location of the relics entrusted by the Sweeping Monk...
