Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Jiang Dali nodded, looking at the menacing iron arms extending like a forest of swords from the back of Tie Kuangtu’s Battle Armor, and said, "It seems you have already developed the true Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor?"

Tie Kuangtu’s expression grew serious, "Thanks to the inspiration from last time when you, village chief, forged the blade with Blood Refinement, I too have developed a more suitable method for forging the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor. However, I have yet to truly begin the final crafting phase."

Jiang Dali made a sound of acknowledgment, then shifted the topic, "Regarding the Battle Armor, we can discuss it later. I have more important matters to attend to now. Perhaps, Tie Sect Leader, you could take the Battle Armor to wait at Divine Iron City?"

Tie Kuangtu’s heart was moved, and he knew Jiang Dali had private matters to attend to, likely related to the God-searching Palace.

Though he wished to display himself in front of Jiang Dali, when it involved the formidable and mysterious former Martial World overlord God-searching Palace, it was better to avoid involvement as much as possible and avoid trouble. He immediately seized the opportunity to retreat and cupped his fists, agreeing to wait for Jiang Dali’s return at Divine Iron City.

After Tie Kuangtu left, the scene became even more silent.

Jiang Dali glanced at the bodies of the three God-searching Palace experts on the ground, which had been almost dismembered by the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor.

From Tie Kuangtu’s previous battle description, he knew that these three experts had also taken Beast Pills and were Beast Slaves.

Moreover, judging by their appearances, these people were actually former Martial World experts who had disappeared.

Such as the first Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Zhang Ziyu, the Fortress Master of Ghost Castle, Hao Tian One Strange... As for the third person, though he did not recognize him, he could guess he wasn’t an unknown figure.

One could imagine, although the God-searching Palace had retreated from the Martial World over the years, they were not idle, forcibly capturing these former Martial World experts and feeding them Beast Pills, training them to become Beast Slaves who obey orders like the Fist Tao God.

After so many years, how many of those Martial Arts Experts who disappeared and retreated from the Martial World truly managed to exit the Martial World smoothly and lead a secluded life free from Martial World affairs?

How many were captured by the God-searching Palace and turned into Beast Slaves?

Jiang Dali looked at Bu Jingyun, who did not show a trace of panic throughout the tribulation, and asked, "Did these three say anything about the God-searching Palace on the way? Did they mention where the God-searching Palace is located in Hailuo Gully?"

Faced with the revered Jiang Dali, Bu Jingyun, who rarely spoke to others, responded by shaking his head, "They said nothing on the way."

Jiang Dali looked at Bu Jingyun’s icy demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh; this boy was naturally tight-lipped. The three Beast Slaves said nothing, so this boy was even less likely to talk, asking him anything would be a miracle.

Chamu Long interjected at this time, curiously saying, "Village chief, are you guessing the rumored God-searching Palace is in Moxi Town’s Hailuo Gully?"

Jiang Dali was surprised and remembered that the Chamu Clan was also a tribe in Shu, though there was a considerable distance from Moxi Town. Chamu Long was indeed considered a local of Shu and could be regarded as a semi-guide.

"I’m not guessing; I’m certain! Your Chamu Clan lived in Shu for so many years, have you never heard of an entrance to the God-searching Palace near Moxi Town?"

Chamu Long frowned, rubbing his chin as he pondered, "Hiss—Village chief, now that you mention it, I do remember some old rumors about this place.

Hailuo Gully was once very famous in Shu because it was surrounded by layers of ice mountains and should be extremely cold.

But because it was a valley, no matter how cold the wind was, it couldn’t blow into the valley, and when sunlight hit, the heat would stay in the valley.

So even though snow and ice rivers surrounded it, Hailuo Gully remained warm like spring, adorned with blooming flowers all year round."

Jiang Dali asked, "Such a place, yet no faction occupies it? Even the ambitious Tang Sect ignores it?"

Chamu Long replied, "It’s not that there aren’t any, but those who had the idea failed to realize it.

Strangely, this place should be a blessing. Any Shu sect wanting to establish a mountain gate here would be wise, but regardless of the sect, those who tried faced disaster.

Initially, Martial World people thought it was Martial World vendettas, but later rumors spread... that these people faced divine punishment from Shu’s gods."

Jiang Dali asked, "Gods?"

Chamu Long replied, "In Moxi Town, many people worship a god, and there are many places with statues of the god. Moxi Town people believe that those who enter Hailuo Gully show disrespect to the gods and face divine punishment.

Initially, many Martial World people didn’t believe, and some intended to offend the god, but those who dared met miserable ends, with no peaceful outcome.

Furthermore, the people of Moxi Town are very exclusive, so gradually, Moxi Town acquired a mysterious aura, becoming a place where few Martial World people venture, almost an isolated region in Shu."

From Chamu Long’s explanation, Jiang Dali could understand.

Like the Chamu Clan, many similar tribes in Shu have unique customs and beliefs, are quite exclusive, and remain extremely mysterious.

Such regions are generally places Martial World people don’t dare to venture lightly.

After all, once inside, it’s difficult to stay hidden, and one would be watched by many hostile eyes, feeling uncomfortable all over—who could stay there?

The God-searching Palace controlled a tribe in such an isolated location, essentially placing a copper wall and iron wall at the entrance to their power, continuing to absorb loyal new blood, akin to millennium-long heritage.
