Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Chapter 1737: Chapter 1342: Saint Dynasty Marquis! The Concerns of Top Powers!

"Startled the Emperor!?"

Everyone was shocked, even He Lingyue, who had a nonchalant demeanor, was startled and astonished.

He Jin calmly said, "A typical Returning to Truth realm level 9 expert wouldn’t alarm the Emperor. Before Master Jiang, only that Dugu Sword Demon and Master Hu had ever alarmed the Emperor, and they were both people with heaven-defying destiny charts.

Now, Master Hu is a pillar of the Holy Dynasty, and that Dugu Sword Demon is also a regional officer who voluntarily guards Sky Pool to this day. Otherwise, he would also have become a pillar of the Holy Dynasty. So I suspect that the Regent King might confer a marquis title upon Master Jiang."

"What? Confer a marquis title?"

He Hongzhi exclaimed in shock, "Father, it’s extremely difficult to confer the marquis title of the Holy Dynasty to anyone who hasn’t made outstanding contributions, even Senior Dugu, who has guarded Sky Pool for many years, was only honored with the marquis title a few years ago, you..."

A marquis title surpasses the status of a minister. Although a first-grade minister is always a minister, a marquis, although still a subject, has the highest noble title under the Holy Dynasty’s monarchy.

He Jin smiled faintly and said, "Hongzhi, what kind of arrogant person is Master Jiang? To rise to this point in a small vassal state in just a few years, it’s impossible for him not to have some secrets. Think about his growth path, does it not resemble that of the Emperor and the Regent King?

To tame such a mighty dragon, from the very start, one must not harbor any thoughts of taming it, but rather fully display sincerity.

In this world, not only our He Family can take a gamble and invest, but so can the Regent King. I think with His Majesty’s boldness, he wouldn’t be stingy with the nominal title of a marquis. Otherwise, Master Jiang wouldn’t even glance at it, but as long as he can’t refuse, he must come to accept the conferment.

By then, the Regent King’s test and challenges from other dissatisfied sect leaders will follow."

Even after listening to He Jin’s well-reasoned explanation, everyone still found it hard to believe.

Although a Returning to Truth realm level 9 expert is indeed a rare talent in the world, the Holy Dynasty is not lacking. It can only be said that the fact that this Black Wind Village Chief can alarm the Emperor is indeed unusual, and the reason and connections for this unusual nature are unknown to them. He Jin and the Regent King might know, but they wouldn’t divulge it.

Other top families had different reactions due to the Regent King’s conferment, but almost all, through connections with the Emperor, speculated on the profound meaning and the challenges hidden behind the Regent King’s exceptional conferment.

A Returning to Truth realm level 9 expert, though formidable, is an outsider without status in the Holy Dynasty, at most considered a nouveau riche, and can’t pose a significant threat to the power and influence held by top families and individuals.

However, if a supreme expert were conferred a marquis title, it would be equivalent to gaining a high noble status in the Holy Dynasty upon arrival, with considerable influence of his own, and ambitions. This could very likely challenge or even overturn the current family dynamics, redistributing and reshuffling resources and rights controlled by some.

Due to all these reasons, the Holy Dynasty is in turmoil.

Several top families, especially the Wan Family, were the first to actively take various countermeasures under the threat and even decided, if absolutely necessary, to contact Dugu Qiubai, who has been guarding Sky Pool Town for a hundred years.

...

The wind and clouds move, and the demon dragon roars mightily in midair, its sound dignified and profound, its spirit invigorated.

Jiang Dali stood proudly with crossed arms on the dragon’s back, his disheveled long hair wildly dancing in the wind, his tiger eyes looking into the distance at the gradually emerging vast sea surface.

The sunset cast its afterglow upon the sea surface, turning the blue ocean a faint reddish hue, shimmering, with a few beetle-sized merchant ships glimmering under the sunset like a string of flowing pearls.

In half a day’s time, Ying Country will be reached.

He had already learned through the mountain village’s intelligence that Dongfang Bubai had long gone to Ying Country, and was now secretly cooperating to assist Liao Rushen in opening the Holy Tomb.

At this moment, the situation inside the Holy Tomb had been completely explored by numerous successive players, and on Ying Country’s side, aside from a few family experts performing some meaningless disruptions and harassments, there were almost no decent experts appearing. Even the Ying Country Royal Family seemed indifferent to their ancestral tomb and spiritual symbol, having completely given up.

Jiang Dali did not lower his guard, continuing to pay close attention to the Jianghu Forum for the corresponding Ying Country board messages, yet he was also not worried about Liao Rushen’s safety over there.

As the saying goes, even when hitting a dog, one has to look at the owner. Liao Rushen, as his adopted son, represented his attitude and face. With his current reputation and influence in the vassal states, it was anticipated that the most wary Xuanhua Ship Master would not easily choose to be his enemy.

Even if the opposition had any drastic actions, they wouldn’t directly threaten Liao Rushen’s life, at most capturing Liao Rushen as a pawn to negotiate with him, which would fall into his expectations, providing an opportunity for testing and contact.

However, this was all prior thought. Upon learning from Xiao Sanxiao that the Xuanhua Ship Master had a strong brother, Jiang Dali had to admit his miscalculation, his attitude becoming significantly more serious, paying special attention to the situation at Ying Country’s Holy Tomb.

Seeing everything successfully progressing to this point, the Holy Tomb had been fully explored. He could basically confirm that the Xuanhua Ship Master had likely already made some concessions.

"After all, my breakthrough to Returning to Truth realm level 9 should have been sensed by the Xuanhua Ship Master, which is undoubtedly a stronger signal, and he should have sensed the qi mechanism revealed when Xiao Sanxiao fought against me. Presumably, at this moment, he’s suspicious and afraid to act recklessly, so how could he rashly take action against my people..."

Jiang Dali contemplated, feeling reassured yet regretful.

Ever since his strength had grown stronger and stronger, it had become harder to have an exhilarating battle as he once had while roaming the world.

Previously, he couldn’t understand the so-called pinnacle of the Martial World, the solitary feeling of Dugu loneliness, considering it some half-baked hero’s act.

But now, he suddenly felt some empathy, even becoming the image he most despised—lonely expert!

Returning to Truth realm level 9 experts may clearly sense the qi mechanisms around them and detect the existence of other experts’ qi mechanisms, but only when those experts leak their qi mechanisms or actively expose them can they clearly sense them; otherwise, it’s impossible to capture the approximate position of others on the same level.

This is also why there are rarely duels between Returning to Truth realm level 9 experts.

Firstly, such experts are too few in number, and secondly, any intense confrontation reaches a certain level, it would alert other entities of the same tier, revealing their position and qi mechanism; thus, these experts rarely expose their bottom line.

While Jiang Dali was contemplating, he suddenly noticed several posts on the forum board he was watching closely. The titles of the posts made his tiger eyes narrow abruptly.

"Mysterious expert strikes, Liao Rushen chased and attacked!"

"Ying Country finally takes action, Black Wind Village Chief’s adopted son doomed!"

Jiang Dali immediately clicked on one of the posts. Upon seeing the fierce battle in the video within, his gaze fell on the masked one-armed strongman, and his expression darkened, "Sun Ren Tian Yin! Xuanhua Ship Master... has chosen to be my enemy? For the Holy Tomb the Ying Country Royal Family hasn’t intervened in at all."
