Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Nie Renwang had listened up to this point and was already feeling somewhat dizzy, with only a hazy, half-formed understanding.

For example, once Jiang Dali failed, it would be very hard for him to ever again come into contact with the very top core secrets and power of this world—what exactly was that supposed to mean?

Could it be that this Brother Jiang of his had actually started taking an interest even in the position of Holy Dynasty Emperor?

Jiang Dali took one look at Nie Renwang’s expression and instantly knew what he was thinking; he lifted the wine jar to clink it against the other man’s and did not bother to explain the subtleties hidden within his words.

This couldn’t be blamed on Nie Renwang being stupid; as the North Drinking Mad Saber, aside from being a bit slow when it came to matters of the heart, his head was usually quite sharp and full of inspiration.

It was just that the other party was completely unaware of the terrifying secrets he had touched upon inside the Sky, and thus found it very hard to grasp the meaning behind his words.

He believed that regarding the core secrets and power of the Mixed Martial Arts World, regarding the concrete schemes of the Emperor’s five-hundred-year seclusion plan, as the Holy Dynasty Emperor who ruled this world, that man definitely knew the most. So as long as he could in the future enter the core of Holy Dynasty power, or enter the Emperor’s Treasure Vault, in the end he would obtain the answers he sought...

But once it was truly nailed down that he had entered the Sky and he walked onto the opposing side of everyone in the Holy Dynasty, then even if the Regent King wanted to fully support him, it would be extremely hard to accomplish.

Therefore, the Wan Family could not be destroyed—at least, it could not be destroyed by his hand. Otherwise, that would be going too far; under the principle of lips gone, teeth cold, it would provoke the other top families into huddling together to attack him, stirring up an even greater public outcry to prove that he had entered the Sky, completely triggering a clash between the top families and the Imperial Authority represented by the Regent King. At that time, regardless of ultimate victory or defeat, this fuse—him—would inevitably be sacrificed...

Even with the strength he possessed now, he would not fall into utter, eternal ruin, but he would nonetheless lose the path to rise one step further. That was not a situation he wanted to see.

...

At this very moment.

Within the Regent Hall of the Holy Dynasty, floating amidst drifting white clouds.

The Regent King rarely had a faint smile hanging on his face; gazing at the slowly surging sea of clouds outside the window, he nodded slightly and said, "Meng Hun, you did well."

His line of sight shifted, and behind him stood a woman in silver robes—none other than Li Menghun, Sect Leader of the Venerate Dao Department. Judging from the Regent King Long Lei’s intimate form of address, the relationship between the two seemed quite good.

Li Menghun’s sweet voice floated over from behind like an immortal melody. "Your Majesty, how do you plan to soothe the court and the public now? Though the Wan Family are reaping the bitter fruit they sowed, the fact that Marquis Wei Wu walked out from within the Sky is in itself true. Perhaps some among the civil and military officials already know of this.

Thus there is no such thing as the Wan Family slandering Marquis Wei Wu. Only by maliciously sending people everywhere to spread the news and sow panic can they be convicted; but that charge can be made light or heavy. That Lu Ping is a blunt man with a direct tongue—I fear he won’t let the matter rest easily at morning court."

"Let the matter rest easily?"

The Regent King let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with a sharp radiance. "Right now it’s a question of whether I will let the matter rest, not of whether those families will. Meng Hun, the crimes the Wan Family have committed over these years are too many to list. Now is the time for reckoning.

Marquis Wei Wu has already helped me break the balance among several great families. This is precisely the moment for me to pronounce sentence on the Wan Family. I truly want to see who still dares to step forward at such a time.

If anyone does, they’ll be reckoned with together!"

Li Menghun’s delicate body trembled; she fully understood the Regent King’s resolve and instantly knew that whether the Holy Dynasty was about to change hands would be decided in the coming days.

Yet with her understanding of the other top families, she knew very well that at a time like this, no family would be tactless enough to stick out its neck to be the Wan Family’s scapegoat. They would only think about how to quickly wipe their own backsides clean and sweep the snow from their own doorsteps.

The Wan Family was finished this time!

And what of Marquis Wei Wu?

"Mr. Ming!"

The Regent King called out in a deep voice.

"This slave is here!"

A ghostlike shadow suddenly appeared, revealing the figure of the Chief Eunuch of the Holy Dynasty.

The Regent King pondered aloud, "Convey my decree to summon Marquis Wei Wu to the palace! I will personally see him and test his progress in Martial Arts!"

"This slave obeys!"

The eunuch bowed deeply, then slowly withdrew.

Li Menghun’s gaze flickered, and she promptly requested leave to withdraw as well.

From this series of actions by the Regent King, she could already see that Your Majesty intended to use Marquis Wei Wu’s deterrent force to continue pressing the other top families, possibly including the He Family.

After all... the He Family walked far too closely with Marquis Wei Wu, and though they were the most tactful among the Six Top Families, they were also a target the Regent King needed to knock and warn.

This summons of Marquis Wei Wu to the palace was very likely also to privately grant him some benefits as a form of reward and wooing.

After all, in the matter of fiercely striking the Wan Family, Marquis Wei Wu truly had rendered great service.

But this sort of thing was not suitable to commend publicly, and given Marquis Wei Wu’s temperament, if it were simply left unaddressed, that too would be troublesome. Only by rewarding him in private, while using this layer of information to release a signal of deterrence to the other top families, could the Five Great Families be made even less inclined to act rashly at the moment when the Wan Family was being purged.

At the same time.

The great upheaval in the Holy Dynasty sparked by Jiang Dali also immediately drew the attention of the external Four Great Families.

The collapse of the top family, the Wan Family, stirred panic and unease in the Supreme Alliance—who had long had some cooperation with the Wan Family—and further gave rise to deep fear and wariness toward Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali.

At this point, it was already the thirteenth day since the Players collectively vanished from the Mixed Martial Arts World.

The more than seventy million Players outside had long been in an uproar, while the Elder Council formed by the Ten Great Families of the Supreme Alliance rapidly rolled out all sorts of measures to calm them.
