Chapter 1683: Chapter 1297: The Families’ Compromise! Everything Is Ready!
When I looked at the He’s Jade Disc in my hand, I discovered that the attributes of this Imperial Jade Seal had changed, and a new function had been added.
"Order: The Imperial Jade Seal is commanded by heaven, granting eternal prosperity. The Jade Seal is linked to the Qi Fortune of the Qin State. Seeing the Jade Seal is like seeing Qin Shi Huang, and through the connection between the Jade Seal and Qin’s Qi Fortune, communication can be established with Qin Shi Huang."
"Village chief!"
At this moment, the likes of Ping Shengaoqi and others were looking at Jiang Dali, who had already opened his eyes and become conscious, with expressions of inquiry.
Jiang Dali collected his thoughts and nodded with a smile. After putting away the He’s Jade Disc, he looked at the three and said, "The meridians within your bodies have now been expanded by the He’s Jade Disc. In the future, whether it’s regaining energy or luck, your speed will be increased several times, greatly enhancing your combat power."
Tie Niu revealed a simple smile that only appeared in front of Jiang Dali, speaking in a deep voice, "It’s all thanks to the village chief’s support!"
"Tie Niu, you now even know how to flatter," Jiang Dali laughed heartily. He reached out, patted Tie Niu’s broad shoulder, and using his sharp gaze, fixed the trio saying, "Your strength has greatly improved now. I will assign you a task. The three of you will team up to defeat the four newly promoted Heavenly Persons from Tianmen. With three against four, the village chief wants you to win the battle. Can you accomplish this?"
Upon hearing this, the three of them were spiritually shaken, their eyes fixed unwaveringly on Jiang Dali, their gazes filled with resolute will. Jiang Dali was likened, in their minds, to a Demon God from heaven, making them look up to him and follow him with reverence. They immediately replied in unison.
"We will absolutely not disappoint the village chief!"
"Good!"
Jiang Dali laughed heartily. How could he not perceive the level of strength of these abnormal people under him in the Martial World today? Those four new Heavenly Persons from Tianmen would surely be difficult to rival.
After the laughter, Jiang Dali’s figure soared, heading outside.
He already sensed several familiar visitors outside in the courtyard.
Almost immediately upon stepping into the courtyard, a charming and graceful young girl darted over with a coquettish laugh, throwing herself into Jiang Dali’s broad chest with the posture of a swallow returning to the nest.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Dali raised his hand displeased, grabbing like a tiger snatching a sheep, easily catching the fragrant shoulder of the woman who was about to leap into his embrace. He felt a smooth touch, and there was even a slight burst of suction power.
But as his palm power quivered, the bold and fiery woman’s body trembled lightly, she stepped back, steadied herself, and raised her pretty face to reveal an extremely beautiful, slender face. It almost seemed as though a fairy descended from heaven, contrasting sharply with the earlier bold urgency of her rush. Yet her body hinting at beautiful mature lines cloaked in a white gauze dress evoked various imaginations.
This moment, the woman willingly bent slightly toward Jiang Dali, her beautiful eyes emerging with a profoundly complex emotion. She spoke with a pitiful tone, "My name is Xue Qing, paying respects to the village chief! The abrupt offense earlier was truly due to my master’s orders being hard to defy. If the village chief wishes to punish me, no matter the punishment, I would gladly bear it."
Jiang Dali’s eyes sparkled as he focused on the woman named Xue Qing, especially on the blood bar appearing above her head, intrigued, "I never expected Wan Wan to have nurtured an abnormal person like you...and even taught you the Heavenly Demon Great Method. This village chief was unaware."
Xue Qing giggled softly, her demeanor swiftly shifting from a pitiful image to spirited liveliness, transmitting a line of enticing thoughts into Jiang Dali’s ear, "My master anticipated your surprise, and she said, since you value us abnormal people so highly, she being your closest, naturally cannot fall behind. She also mentioned she has many secrets, and if you desire to know them all, she could unveil them for you one by one..."
The style of this dialogue was indeed akin to Wan Wan’s tone. Just hearing it, Jiang Dali’s mind involuntarily summoned images of Wan Wan’s charming grace and distinctive allure. He shook his head with a smile, exuding an indescribable prestige and confidence, before turning his gaze to Wen Chouchou, who had brought over Heartbroken Little Knife and others.
"This is a letter my master asked me to hand over to you, village chief."
Then, Xue Qing stepped forward gracefully, this time displaying more modesty, withdrawing a letter sealed with fire lacquer from her sleeve and presenting it with both hands.
Jiang Dali accepted it, opened it personally, and after reading it, felt a bit delighted, uttered a good word, tucked the letter into his chest, and again smilingly addressed Heartbroken Little Knife and Ting Shui.
"Since you two have come, it appears your family has thought things through and decided to agree to the demands this village chief has made previously."
Ting Shui stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Correct! After deliberation among the higher-ups of our Four Great Families, our family has agreed to the requests you, village chief, had made yesterday. However, the details need further discussion with you..."
"Hmm!"
Jiang Dali pondered and nodded, glancing at Xue Qing and said, "I’m already aware of your master’s matters, you may report back now."
Not bothering with the female player’s expression, he waved his hand saying, "Let’s discuss inside the hall!"
With that, he turned and entered the hall, sitting upright in the center on a Taishi Chair covered with tiger skin.
Ting Shui and Heartbroken Little Knife followed inside, seating themselves on either side. After the servants presented dust-cleansing towels and thirst-quenching fragrant tea, all unrelated persons exited the hall.
Ting Shui set down his teacup and straightforwardly said, "Initially, you requested our Four Great Families to deploy our top combat power to aid you in jointly dealing with the Saint Dynasty Wan Family and provide intelligence support in dealing with the Wan Family thereafter. After deliberation by our family leaders, we are willing to agree to this request.
Moreover...if you wish us to assist in confronting the Heavenly Gate Emperor Shitian, we can offer equivalent assistance.
However, if we help you oppose both Tianmen and Emperor Shitian, we will not take action concerning the Wan Family issue."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali’s mind moved, recalling those Pioneers he had named as ’Ancient People’. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Ting Shui and Heartbroken Little Knife and smiled faintly, "Your family indeed had people deeply embedded in the Martial World long ago, even capable of discussing aiding this village chief against Emperor Shitian...it seems your family’s hidden top combat power is at the Returning to Truth Realm?"
Ting Shui and Heartbroken Little Knife exchanged glances and then laughed, "No!"
Jiang Dali was surprised, "No?"
Ting Shui nodded, "Although not, our top experts can invite absolutely top-notch experts at the Returning to Truth Realm to assist, but we also have to pay a price and offer some benefits."
"I see."
Jiang Dali understood, nodding, thoughtfully.
It seems the top experts within the family haven’t yet reached the Returning to Truth Realm?
It’s not sure, given the Pioneers had once researched a path for players to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm without guidance, they might have researched a breakthrough to the Returning to Truth Realm as well.
Currently, the family’s top experts seem unwilling to make direct appearances, opting instead to use other energy to invite Returning to Truth Realm experts...
Why is this?
Is it due to a lack of inherent confidence or intentional concealment?
No matter the reason, the cunning old foxes within the family have achieved their goal—to remain unreadable, keeping their trump cards hidden.
Undoubtedly, invisible deterrence is the real deterrence.
Those displaying their intimidating weaponry aren’t the greatest terror.
But now, in managing Emperor Shitian and Tianmen, he feels sufficiently prepared without needing the family’s assistance...
