Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1370 - 1053: Sky Sword Wu Ming, Mysterious Woman
Jiang Dali contemplated as he exited the forum and looked at Po Jun, who was sitting in the tent with his golden knife, eyes closed in meditation, and asked, "Do you have a way to quickly contact Wu Ming?"
Po Jun didn’t open his eyelids, but instead asked, "You seemed emotionally stirred just now, did something occur to you?"
Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed as he calmly said, "I suspect that Senior Wu Ming has probably already gone to the World Association."
Po Jun said blandly, "There’s no need to doubt it. Given his character, it’s very likely something that would happen. The only difference is whether he can successfully take the Divine Stone from Xiong Ba."
Jiang Dali, "That’s exactly what I want to know."
"Report!—"
A long report sounded from outside the tent, and a player from the personal guard responsible for delivering urgent messages quickly ran inside, knelt on one knee, and reported, "Reporting to the village chief, brothers from Divine Martial Country sent word that a strong individual called Wu Ming by the World Association Leader Xiong Ba suddenly stormed the World Association, claiming to demand the Divine Stone in Xiong Ba’s possession. Ultimately, this person retreated after entering the World’s No.1 Building, and it’s unclear if they took the Divine Stone."
Po Jun’s eyes snapped open like knives and landed on the player giving the report. After a moment, the sharp brilliance in his eyes dimmed as he asked, "Did Wu Ming and Xiong Ba exchange blows?"
The player reporting intelligence said, "Wu Ming and Xiong Ba met within the World’s No.1 Building, and it’s uncertain if they fought."
Po Jun frowned.
Jiang Dali waved to dismiss the player, looking calmly at Po Jun, and said, "Now it seems my suspicion has come true. Senior Wu Ming has indeed gone to the World Association, but the current situation is even more surprising."
Po Jun said with a serious face, "Wu Ming is no longer the Wu Ming of the past. He is too righteous, and even if he had the chance to kill Xiong Ba, he might not do it, but his strength is undeniable.
Now that he has left the World Association, either he has obtained the Divine Stone, or he was unsuccessful.
As long as Xiong Ba has the Divine Stone, Wu Ming could not fail to obtain it, unless the Divine General was merely deceiving us to deal with Xiong Ba and the real Divine Stone is not in Xiong Ba’s hands."
"Since Mud Buddha hinted that the Divine Stone is in Xiong Ba’s possession, what the Divine General said definitely isn’t false."
Jiang Dali stood up, remembering Mud Buddha’s critique of the three methods to break Xiong Ba’s Heavenly Destiny and Qi Fortune, and pondered, "Perhaps the Divine Stone is not in Xiong Ba’s hands, but Xiong Ba in the World’s No.1 Building may not be Xiong Ba at all.
Don’t forget, the expert who worked with Xiong Ba at Leifeng Tower to seize the Divine Stone. This is what I need you to contact Wu Ming about immediately to confirm."
A look of determination appeared on Po Jun’s face, and he immediately nodded solemnly, "You’re right, I’ll try to contact Wu Ming now."
With that, Po Jun stepped out of the room with thundering and blazing speed.
Jiang Dali paced a few steps in place, mulling over the critiques given by Mud Buddha once more.
"Seek a faction that dominates an area to the east, head south to find someone who shouldn’t exist, go beneath your feet to find a tormented soul whose fate is tragic...
These three critiques must inevitably form a causal connection with Xiong Ba to affect his Heavenly Destiny and Qi Fortune. Something connected with Xiong Ba...
Divine Martial Country is in the east, and to the east of Divine Martial Country, there is a force that dominates an area, dominating an area... Dugu Yifang? Could it mean Unrivaled City? Unrivaled City is inherently opposed to the World Association and is indeed connected to Xiong Ba."
"Head south to find someone who shouldn’t exist... who shouldn’t exist, who could that be? Who’s connected to Xiong Ba and in the south? Bu Jingyun? Nie Feng?"
"Lastly, go beneath your feet to find a tormented soul... Could this mean someone who died at the hands of Xiong Ba? Or perhaps someone not dead, just tormented miserably by Xiong Ba? Besides Mud Buddha, I really can’t think of anyone else..."
As Jiang Dali thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel a headache.
Almost instinctively, he clasped his large hands together, muscles tensing, causing the air to crackle, thus easing his stress.
Compared to this brain-twisting way of solving problems, he preferred the simplicity of physical solutions, using brute force to create miracles, and charging headlong until things were settled.
Unfortunately, sometimes he had no choice but to use his brain, which wasn’t as muscle-bound yet quite clever.
...
While Po Jun went to find a way to contact Wu Ming, Jiang Dali no longer waited idly and summoned Yu Cheng’an and others to further discuss measures to fill the gaps in West Lake.
Based on the well-discussed plan by Yu Cheng’an and other craftsmen, more than sixty percent of the transported materials had been gathered and they could begin work, initially filling parts of the underground cave with foundation materials to ease the pressure of construction time.
Such an arrangement was rather reasonable.
The only issue to note was manpower.
However, with more players gathering to participate in the Savior Task, as well as royal craftsmen and masters in water mechanics who answered the call from Song Country and the Ming Country Court, the manpower issue was largely solved.
Jiang Dali immediately issued orders to evacuate the residents around West Lake and commence the rescue operation.
After completing this series of arrangements, he returned again to the base of Leifeng Tower to appease the emotions of the Fire Qilin and Fire Phoenix, the two exotic beasts.
As long as the gaps at the bottom of West Lake were completely filled, even without retrieving the Divine Stone, the disaster would be thoroughly resolved.
And by then, the only purpose of retrieving the Divine Stone would be to prevent this extremely powerful Divine Weapon from falling into Xiong Ba’s hands, boosting the enemy’s strength.
Therefore, Jiang Dali had decided internally that he must retrieve the Divine Stone before it was fully unsealed.
Otherwise, once the Divine Stone was unsealed, the enemy could use its power to grow stronger.
By then, it might not be as easy to reclaim it.
Hence, dealing with Xiong Ba to take back the Divine Stone had become another urgent task beyond averting the great disaster.
The priority for this urgent task is to determine—whether Wu Ming has reclaimed the Divine Stone, and if not, why, and is the Divine Stone still in Xiong Ba’s hands?
Only then should we seek the three factors Mud Buddha mentioned that could break Xiong Ba’s Heavenly Destiny and Qi Fortune.
Because in terms of time, finding these three uncertain things might be completely insufficient.
Perhaps before we find these factors to break Xiong Ba’s Heavenly Destiny and Qi Fortune, Xiong Ba might already have obtained the unsealed Divine Stone and increased his power significantly, reversing his Heavenly Destiny again by sheer force.
Thus, Jiang Dali had never been so rigid as to consider Mud Buddha’s critique the only solution.
However, just as he finished calming the Fire Qilin and Fire Phoenix at the base of Leifeng Tower and was leaving, he unexpectedly encountered someone.
A woman in plain white, with her back to him, sitting at the exit passage on the coffin of Bai Suzhen.
Although Jiang Dali couldn’t see her face at first glance, the perfect, artistic statue-like silhouette told him she must be an exquisite woman, no less beautiful than Wang Yuyan or Wan Wan, with a cool demeanor like an otherworldly Banished Immortal.
However, beauty had never been the primary focus for Jiang Dali, and at this moment, three questions popped up in his mind:
Who is she?
Why is she here?
Could she not know that sitting on a coffin is considered very inauspicious?
