"It seems the identity of Wan Zhongchen as a steward of Lingyun Pavilion only holds deterrence and effect within certain rules. Lingyun Pavilion does not interfere in personal grudges of this sort, which makes sense. As for this Wan Family..."

Jiang Dali chuckled softly, not taking it to heart.

He was not completely ignorant or naive; he had long understood that people from the Holy Dynasty were bound by rules and laws set by the Holy Dynasty Emperor in the past, facing many restrictions upon arriving in the vassal state.

Even if the Wan Family wanted to retaliate against him, they would need to consider the rules and laws of the Holy Dynasty. Even if they dared to take the great risk of coming to the vassal state to cause him trouble, the saying "a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake" holds true on his turf. He has strong forces and many friends, with no restrictions from the Holy Dynasty’s rules, he is completely unafraid.

Slowly lowering his palm, Jiang Dali sensed the Gathering Spirit Pearl close behind him, conveying his thoughts to control through his Primordial Spirit.

"Clang clang clang!—"

The Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor covering his entire body emitted spiritual waves. The East Sea Divine Mud, like blood and flesh between the armor components, began to move and roll, leading the entire armor to quickly disassemble and separate, swiftly revealing Jiang Dali’s robust physique.

Puh—

Jiang Dali’s untamed black hair fluttered as he stepped out of the dismantled Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, his foot fitting onto the ground, leaving a deep imprint of about a foot.

The entire battle armor swiftly gathered under the spiritual influence of the Gathering Spirit Pearl, layers of East Sea Divine Mud covered and enveloped the Gathering Spirit Pearl. The armor overlapped, rapidly forming a box-like entity, which landed with a thud on the ground.

Jiang Dali turned back, looked at the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor that had fallen to the ground under Nie Renwang’s astonished gaze, and then looked at himself in the state of Golden Bell Unbreakable Body.

At this moment, his strong body was not only golden but also interspersed with chaotic black lines that caused heart palpitations. Filled with a sacred yet demonic eerie and frightening pressure, the steel-cast muscles formed layers of tight knots, containing an undeniable terrifying force.

Originating from the abundant terrifying Essence Qi and Life Force within, seemingly unable to be concealed, emanating waves of a dreadful power, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly under the pressure.

This current physique, which he was fairly satisfied with, had tougher skin, tougher bones, and even more robust and knotted muscles than before.

This was the state after the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body had initially merged with the Destructive Demon Body.

Every inch of flesh, bone, and meridian within his body was infused not only with the Vajra Unbreakable Bulletproof power but also with the supreme demonic force of the Demon King, as if a casual punch could send his former self flying hundreds of feet away with infinite power!

Just now, under Dugu Qiubai’s stunning Sword Intent of the heavy sword, he was stimulated into this imperfect state of the new version of Golden Bell Unbreakable Body, unleashing a terrifying might that shattered that Sword Intent with a single strike.

"Old Jiang... your physique is too terrifying."

Nie Renwang’s look was horrified as he limped over, clutching his injured neck, feeling the stronger the closer he got to this terrifyingly fierce man, the more intense the oppression felt. Instinctively feeling strong awe, causing the Mad Blood within to tremble as if screaming "Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!"

One couldn’t blame him for being timid. Even the Demon Dragon or Fire Qilin felt horror and awe towards Jiang Dali now brimming with golden light and black demonic patterns, the beast’s super sensitivity to danger allowing them to clearly sense the terrifying power hidden within this man like a god or demon!

Jiang Dali smiled faintly, his laugh causing a gentle tremor in the air, "This is a special Body Refinement method I’ve recently researched, still not perfected!"

After speaking, sensing the depletion of his Inner Strength, he withdrew his power and exited this state of Golden Bell Unbreakable Body, his body returning to normal.

Even though his physique had returned to normal, it was visible that his originally bronze skin had become darker and rougher, akin to old cattle hide, filled with indestructible resilience and strength.

Nie Renwang felt the oppression slightly reduced, breathed a sigh of relief, and approached, "I didn’t expect you to break through to Returning to Truth realm so quickly, I truly wonder how you cultivate. But killing that guy from the Holy Dynasty, won’t it cause trouble?"

At the end of his words, Nie Renwang couldn’t help revealing a trace of worry.

If he were to provoke the other party, going alone and fearless wouldn’t be an issue.

But now it involved Jiang Dali, causing him concern and guilt.

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Dali laughed and shook his head, casually punched Nie Renwang, making him stagger, "Old Nie, when did you become so scrupulous and fussy? Since I, Jiang Dali, decided to act, who cares who they are? What if the people from the Holy Dynasty come? On my turf, am I supposed to serve them tea and water? It’s just a pity his Primordial Spirit managed to escape in the end."

Nie Renwang steadied himself, rubbing his chest, listening to Jiang Dali’s bold and forthright words, his guilt and unease dispelling significantly, he instantly responded with a bold and loud laugh, "Indeed! Old Jiang, you’re still you, even if the Heavenly King came to provoke you, you’d still fight first before saying anything, regardless of who they are!"

"Hmm, let’s tidy up a bit here, and then we shall leave!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Jiang Dali shook his head with a smile, looking at the battlefield around him in shambles.

His words were genuinely heartfelt and not just meant to comfort Nie Renwang.

From the moment Wan Zhongchen spoke kindly but emitted red light filled with hostility, Jiang Dali knew this person was like a wolf on the mountain, and his decisive abandonment of companions to block a knife later further proved his duplicitous and malicious nature. Moreover, his companions, in the final moment, desperately retaliated even at the cost of Body and Soul Destroyed, showing that they probably too harbored long-held resentment against him.

Such a person, whether left alone or not, would undoubtedly retaliate afterward, and thus the threat needed to be eliminated in advance.

The two of them simply tidied up the battlefield.

Jiang Dali found some items representing identity such as waist cards and a book with portraits and handwriting from Wan Zhongchen and his junior sister’s remains.

To prevent anything left in the opponent’s possessions from being tracked by Qi Mechanism, Jiang Dali destroyed all but kept that intriguing booklet...
