Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1378 - 1059: Sword Saint! Twenty-two Sword! (Monthly Ticket Requested)

Unrivaled City, within the wide reception hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, faint laughter echoes, interwoven with the sounds of pipes and strings. The atmosphere is lively, yet without any sense of chaos; it is entirely elegant, showcasing that those who meet here are people of status.

Jiang Dali sits high at the left hand position of Dugu Yifang, equating to being seated as equals.

As the renowned Black Wind Village Chief, he now fully exhibits the demeanor of a Grandmaster Overlord. Apart from impertinent juniors like Dugu Ming who do not understand matters, no one dares to disrespect him, holding disciple and junior etiquette towards him.

At this moment, he savors elegant tea and nods slightly toward the music and dance within the hall, displaying a leisurely and content demeanor, making his intentions inscrutable.

Dugu Yifang notices his gaze often lingering on the lead dancing girl, and, with a smiling eyes, opens the conversation as the music and dance gradually cease, saying, "Brother Jiang, it seems you too are a person of high taste in music, having heard of your close friendship with Murong Sect Master of the Sky Zither Sect as a confidant. I wonder if you are satisfied with my daughter’s performance?"

As his words fell, among the dancing girls preparing to retreat, the lead girl in red immediately paused.

"Oh?"

Jiang Dali shows a look of surprise, looking at Dugu Yifang and then at the veiled girl in red, smiling, "Unexpectedly, this beautiful lady turns out to be Mr. Dugu’s daughter? No wonder she possesses natural beauty and her dance is pleasing to the eye."

"Hahaha, receiving such praise from Brother Jiang, my daughter’s years of learning dance were not in vain."

Dugu Yifang laughed heartily and said, "This daughter of mine is obedient and sensible, gentle and considerate, unlike that troublesome son who is a concern. If it were an ordinary guest, I would not allow her to be so exposed, but since it is a hero like Brother Jiang, both my daughter and I wish to make the acquaintance."

"Meng’er, don’t you greatly admire heroes like Master Jiang? Go and greet Master Jiang."

"Yes, father!"

The girl in red, Dugu Meng, shyly and gracefully bowed to Dugu Yifang, then gently raised her long eyebrows, directing her clear and exquisite eyes towards Jiang Dali, removing her veil to reveal a face without makeup, yet refined and elegant, possessing an ethereal grace. Despite appearing only about sixteen, her beauty is already beginning to emerge.

With her red lips forming a subtle smile, she bowed to Jiang Dali and said, "Being praised by such a grand figure like Master Jiang is overwhelming for a young girl like myself."

Jiang Dali slightly nodded in affirmation, but internally remained indifferent, understanding this was Dugu Yifang’s ploy to test him with beauty.

"Go ahead and pour a cup of wine for Master Jiang."

Dugu Yifang gave Dugu Meng a slight wink and said with a smile.

As Dugu Meng was about to gracefully step forward, Jiang Dali raised his hand, turned the wine cup upside down on the table, indicating no more drinking, and calmly said, "No need. Mr. Dugu, you should know that I do not come to the Treasure Hall without a reason. Now that the wine has been drunk and the dance has been enjoyed, let’s focus on discussing serious matters."

Dugu Yifang hesitated momentarily, then immediately understood Jiang Dali’s intent and temperament more deeply. He did not insist, smiling and waving his hand, "Since Brother Jiang is so straightforward and forthright, I will follow the guest’s wishes. You all may leave now."

"Yes!"

All the accompanying guests, including Dugu Meng, took their leave with diverse thoughts, exiting the hall.

The door of the reception hall creaked shut.

In an instant, only Jiang Dali and Dugu Yifang remained in the hall; even the guards outside had withdrawn to a hundred steps away, ensuring the confidentiality of their conversation.

Jiang Dali sensed his surroundings, showing a look of appreciation and approval, saying, "Mr. Dugu, you too are a straightforward and brave person." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Dugu Yifang naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Dali’s words; the reputation of the person in front was infamous and deservedly so. The number of sect leaders who had perished by his hand was unknown, yet he dared to sit alone with him even while knowing full well his strength was unmatched. This speaks of boldness and character.

Dugu Yifang smiled faintly and said, "When sitting with friends, if one still requires courage, I long would not need to mix in this Martial World. I reckon Brother Jiang has come today for the collaboration and alliance we previously mentioned, to jointly handle the World Association, correct?"

Jiang Dali nodded, focusing his gaze on Dugu Yifang, eyes burning, "Indeed, besides this matter, there is nothing else that would make me leave everything behind and come to your Unrivaled City in person."

Dugu Yifang laughed heartily, logically clear, "With your current strength, Master Jiang, and the many experts of Black Wind Village, you are already sufficient to rival the World Association. However, as the saying goes, when tigers fight, one must be wounded. You do not have absolute assurance of completely taking down the World Association without paying a great price.

The main reason is that the World Association has many branches and controls a vast territory, mainly involving Divine Martial, Qin State, and Han Country.

While Black Wind Village has no foundation in these Three Kingdoms, even if you can eliminate Xiong Ba, it would be very difficult to someday annex the forces of over three hundred World Association branches in the future, take over numerous resource points, likely creating a marriage dress for others. And that ’others’ must include a place for our Unrivaled City.

Therefore, it is crucial that Master Jiang discusses cooperation with our Unrivaled City in advance, planning how to divide this piece of fat meat."

Jiang Dali calmly said, "Mr. Dugu can manage Unrivaled City to prosperity and flourishing, indeed you have an acute observation, but since you can analyze this, you should also know that the benefits one wishes to gain are proportional to the strength one possesses.
