Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

"So it requires Earth Fire?"

Jiang Dali nodded in contemplation, "Is Earth Fire the volcanic fire?"

Yu Cheng'an was startled for a moment, "It can be understood that way."

Jiang Dali nodded thoughtfully, "How long will it take for you to forge the blade? As for the materials, what do you think of the sword tips of the Heavenly Sword and the Rain Covering Sword?"

No sooner had Jiang Dali finished speaking than Kou Zhong stepped forward and drew the Heavenly Sword.

In an instant, an incredibly sharp and piercing Sword Qi rushed towards everyone's faces as if a blade was scraping across their skin.

Yu Cheng'an was greatly surprised, his eyes wide and his mouth agape as he stared at the gleaming cold light of the Heavenly Sword. Its edge even made his eyes feel as if they were pierced by needles, "This, this is the Heavenly Sword?"

"Of course! This is the sword that the village chief snatched from Master Mie Jue."

Kou Zhong tossed the Heavenly Sword into Yu Cheng'an's hands.

Since climbing the mountain, he'd unthinkingly come to regard the act of seizing as perfectly justified!

Standing there, Yu Cheng'an appeared utterly enchanted and reluctant to let go, yet also filled with shock and pity. He looked at Jiang Dali, "Village chief, do you mean, you want to use the Heavenly Sword as material to forge another blade for you?"

"Indeed!"

Jiang Dali calmly asked, "Will this material suffice?"

Yu Cheng'an's face was a picture of mixed emotions as he swallowed hard, forcing down the flames that had surged to his throat.

If it were an ordinary person who had uttered such blasphemous words about squandering a divine weapon, he would certainly have erupted in thunderous rage and scolding.

But the speaker was Jiang Dali, his own master.

The words about squandering a divine weapon and blaspheming could not be spoken, yet the regret and pity in his eyes were clearly evident.

In his view, using the renowned Heavenly Sword from the Martial World as material to forge the Golden-Backed Great Saber in Jiang Dali's hand was outright overkill.

It was like slaughtering a ploughing ox to feed its prime beef to dogs.

Naturally, he dared not voice this concern and could only nod ruefully, "The material is definitely sufficient, more than sufficient. However, a first-grade named weapon is not a common weapon; in the absence of divine weapons, a first-grade named weapon is essentially a Pseudo Divine Weapon.

This weapon possesses a hint of spiritual essence, so if you, village chief, also wish to forge a first-grade named weapon, you will need to find an Exotic beast to slaughter. On the day the blade is finished, use it for the ceremonial sacrifice. Only then will your blade possess enough fierceness and spiritual charm."

Speaking, Yu Cheng'an added with a sigh, "Exotic beasts are extraordinary creatures of heaven and earth, and it is very difficult to find one among tens of thousands of wild beasts, which is why the world sees so few first-grade named weapons. The conditions for the birth of a first-grade named weapon are indeed extremely challenging."

"Oh? It even requires an Exotic beast?"

Jiang Dali instinctively looked up at the Demon Hawk circling in the sky.

The people around him also had strange expressions on their faces.

"Good. All these things you mentioned are not difficult. This village chief can make it happen for you."

Jiang Dali nodded, "It just so happens that this village chief is also planning a trip out to sea to Ice and Fire Island, where there is an active volcano. Taking the Fire King and you along, the Earth Fire needed for forging the blade will also be satisfied."

"Going out to sea to Ice and Fire Island!?"

Everyone was visibly moved.

At that moment,

A series of exclamations came from outside the courtyard.

The forest not far from the mountain villa suddenly caught fierce fire, with thick smoke billowing.

The flames burned amidst the continuous spring rain, as if water and fire were mingling, and the rain that hit the face seemed to carry a warmth of its own.

The Fire King laughed heartily as he set fires all around the Hulong Manor. Soon, flames were rising and smoke was drifting from the mountain villa everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burning wood and the crackling sound.

Numerous players and native NPCs in the distant Xi City were also startled and shouted in alarm, pointing towards the direction of Hulong Manor, shocked by the sight of the villa engulfed in flames from all sides.

Some players even immediately took videos and posted them to the Jianghu Forum, updating the events of the Martial World in real time.

"The Black Wind Village Chief has set fire to the Hulong Manor! This means a fight to the death with the Iron Gall Divine Hou!"

"Hulong Manor was burned to the ground, Iron Gall Divine Hou is homeless, deserted by his followers, I fear his fate will be tragic."

Under the shocked gazes of onlookers, they could only see the Demon Hawk dive from the sky, swiftly lifting four figures into the air, issuing a long cry before flying off into the distance, gradually disappearing from view.

Outside Hulong Manor, the Xiangxi Four Ghosts and Mr. Kou watched the Demon Hawk vanish into the distance. All five of them breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if the shackles on their bodies had suddenly been lifted, freeing them considerably.

However, recalling Jiang Dali's instructions before he left made them all feel solemn.

"Hehehe, Mr. Kou, you are more knowledgeable than us four ghosts about the Flower Sect and Heaven Mending Sect's situations. We will have to rely heavily on Mr. Kou this time."

Mr. Kou chuckled heartily, "Not at all! You four seniors are more capable than I. Even if we do find the Evil King Shi Zhixuan this time, I would still have to depend on the four seniors to ensure safety.

However, before we go looking for the Evil King, my suggestion is to meet up with my brother Xu Ziling first. He knows more about the Evil King Shi Zhixuan than I do."

The Xiangxi Four Ghosts chuckled slyly.

"Mr. Kou, however you find it convenient, just go ahead and do it.

In any case, you just need to know that this is a task given by the village chief, and all five of us are committed to fulfill it wholeheartedly; otherwise, with the village chief's methods, there's no need for further words, I presume."

Mr. Kou nodded in agreement, "Indeed! Please rest assured, seniors."

At this point, however, Mr. Kou's heart was already filled with more unease and even confusion.

Since working for the Black Wind Village Chief, he had thought there would eventually be an opportunity to break free.

Yet as Black Wind Village grew stronger and the Black Wind Village Chief became more powerful, that opportunity for freedom had become almost illusory, and even daring to think about it could potentially lead to a tragic end.

To say he felt resentful, Mr. Kou certainly had those moments, but now he felt more lost and resigned to his fate.

...

Spring winds are fierce as the eagle lands, night rains mournful as the horse is about to neigh.

Two days later.

In a seafaring city within Tang Country, after a leisurely two-day flight, Jiang Dali and his companions took refuge to rest their "eagle," boarding a merchant ship heading out to sea.

The merchant ship was decorated lavishly with bright lanterns hanging high and illuminating the interior.

Inside the ship, wine pots invited guests, games ensued with lively guessing, bustling with activity.

The banqueting cabin was adorned with marble tables and chairs inlaid with rosewood, exuding nobility and luxury.

On behalf of Fire King Ancestor Gold Hall, as per Jiang Dali's request, a banquet cabin had been reserved exclusively for them.

The group enjoyed cruising on the clear water, admiring the beautiful seascape while indulging in wine and dishes unique to the "ship's cuisine," listening to a songstress playing her instrument, with the refreshing music enhancing their pleasure—a delight even for Wang Yuyan, who had been raised in the Jiangnan Water Town since childhood.

However, their sudden arrival stirred the Martial World people on the ship as well as the handful of high-end Players who recognized their identities.

Gazes frequently fell into the banquet cabin where they were seated, especially on Jiang Dali who sat like a lord, drinking heavily and eating heartily.

Some people dared only glance twice before quickly averting their eyes, as if looking one moment longer might cause them to be devoured like prey.

"What to do? Has the shipmaster run out of options to put such a formidable Evil Star on board? I don't carry much silver tael on me."

"Mr. Gao, don't panic. It's not certain that the Evil Star is interested in your meager silver taels, and he seems to be in a good mood. Let's just pretend not to know him and definitely not mess things up to attract his attention."

"Right, right. Mr. Li speaks sensibly. We should continue drinking if we want to drink, continue playing if we want to play. There shouldn't be any problems, there shouldn't be..."

A few Martial World people whispered among themselves, seemingly having reached a consensus, yet their voices unconsciously became quieter and softer.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking Players from several guilds also flickered their eyes, halting their important discussions to ponder the Black Wind Village Chief's purpose, their hearts thumping...
