CHAPTER 1024: CHAPTER 810: THE GREATEST HIDDEN THREAT!

At the beginning, people can develop into many relationships: friends, family, enemies, each person makes their own choice.

Often, people wish to have more friends rather than enemies.

But when there are many people in this world, interests inevitably arise, which dictates that enemies will be born as well. Thus, each person has only one choice: become a king or a bandit, fight to the end, I advance, you retreat, with you, without me.

When Jiang Dali stepped onto Cihang Jingzhai, it was destined that someone would bleed.

Only blood can wash away a path, decide who retreats, the end of life is blood, but new life is born in blood.

Cihang Jingzhai, having lost Di Ni and all disciples like Mistress Feixuan, is nominally extinct, but as long as those who left Cihang Jingzhai and are scattered outside remain, Cihang Jingzhai is never truly gone.

Jiang Dali naturally understood this truth, but apart from Di Ni and the fleeing Mistress Feixuan and others, he didn’t take the rest of the disciples, whom he didn’t even know well, to heart.

However, one thing is certain.

Once Di Ni’s injuries heal and Cihang Jingzhai recovers, they will definitely seek revenge against him and his Black Wind Village.

Being targeted by such a formidable figure like Di Ni, whose Primordial Spirit can traverse heaven and earth, is truly horrifying. Jiang Dali also felt tremendous pressure after the battle.

"I must find a way to break through to the Returning to Truth Realm soon, otherwise, unless I carry you all the time, if I encounter Di Ni alone, it will be very dangerous."

Jiang Dali released his hands from Wan Wan’s back, stopped the flow of True Qi for healing her, exhaled lightly, and said.

Wan Wan heard his words, turned around with a smile, "Since village chief says so, for the sake of village chief’s safety, wouldn’t it be good if I stick to your back and never come down?"

Jiang Dali snorted, pressed his hands down solemnly, "How unbecoming! Joining forces in Primordial Spirit Skill with you is just a temporary measure, ultimately, strength must come from within. This time, if Di Ni is determined to fight to the death, it could be very dangerous for us.

If she recovers from her injuries next time, she won’t be so easy to deal with.

I was still too careless, thinking that with the Breaking Realm Pearl and our Primordial Spirit Skill, we could escape unharmed even if outmatched. I didn’t expect it to be so perilous..."

Wan Wan nodded with a solemn expression, "Even normal Primordial Spirit Power cannot easily smash our Primordial Spirit Skill.

But Di Ni ultimately released her Primordial Spirit, greatly increasing the power of her Primordial Spirit attack.

According to the secret book written by our sect’s Grandmaster Xuanji, a strong person who cultivates the Primordial Spirit indeed can release the Primordial Spirit and injure others invisibly, but they are also at great risk themselves; their body easily becomes vulnerable to enemies. Moreover, Primordial Spirit exposed outside is prone to Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Calamity, which can lead to body and soul destruction if any careless mistake occurs.

Therefore, top figures in the Martial World who have reached such realm rarely directly release Primordial Spirit to fight, unless they are like Di Ni, whose body is already aging and destroyed.

In truth, a person’s spirit is interconnected, none can be missing.

If the body ages and dies, the Primordial Spirit is like rootless wood and source-free water, unless protected by treasures like the Breaking Realm Pearl, it is hard to last long between heaven and earth. But Di Ni clearly took another path, relying on Dragon Energy to forcibly walk a different way..."

Jiang Dali’s eyes gleamed, he nodded, "Dragon Energy can diminish three tribulations, her Primordial Spirit anchored in the world and traverses heaven and earth, therefore she fears neither natural disasters nor earthly calamities, because Dragon Energy can protect and conceal her Primordial Spirit aura.

However, Dragon Energy also gradually depletes as emperors of each generation pass away and exert it; this is why she insisted on her descendants going out to find True Dragons in vassal states, supporting them to ascend the throne, only by supporting a truly capable True Dragon more Dragon Energy can be obtained."

Wan Wan hesitantly thought, "Perhaps Dragon Energy has other wonderful uses, maybe it can assist her in breaking through to a higher realm; putting other things aside, she should have already died, yet due to Dragon Energy’s existence, after discarding her physical body, the Primordial Spirit can still persist, already a tremendous benefit."

"Correct. Moreover, the Dragon Energy on her body appears problematic, seemingly... seemingly she has transformed that Dragon Energy into a part of herself..."

Jiang Dali furrowed his brows thoughtfully, pondering how Di Ni’s use of Dragon Energy can actually suppress the Breaking Realm Pearl’s inability to function, also sensed this old monster’s difficulty.

The Breaking Realm Pearl can devour and absorb Zhu Wushi’s Dragon Energy even after his death, yet cannot absorb the Dragon Energy on Di Ni.

The Dragon Energy on Di Ni even restrains it, as if it despises Di Ni’s Dragon Energy, just a touch and it wants to spit, this is the most troublesome part.

Even when facing Xiong Ba, Jiang Dali isn’t scared, as the Breaking Realm Pearl restrains Xiong Ba’s Primordial Spirit Power, he can retreat entirely.

But against Di Ni, it isn’t so easy.

This doesn’t mean Di Ni is stronger than Xiong Ba.

A Primordial Spirit without a physical body, no matter how strong, cannot be stronger than Xiong Ba of the same realm who possesses a physical body, it’s just that he was perfectly restrained by Di Ni.

Wan Wan amusingly tugged at Jiang Dali’s trouser leg, saying, "Anyway, we succeeded this time. Di Ni is indeed a huge hidden danger, but she is now more severely injured and has lost her Golden Body and so many disciples, hence, won’t trouble village chief anytime soon.

Believe that once the news spread, Prince Yan will completely abandon his thoughts of seizing the throne, Zhu Yunwen’s imperial throne is firmly secured."

"Yes, that’s true."

Jiang Dali nodded, looking at Wan Wan tugging at the white silk trousers, "These silk clothes feel quite good on you, but unfortunately don’t suit me, now only being used to cover, I suppose you don’t mind?"

Wan Wan’s expression playfully bewailed, with an enchanting smile, patted her thigh, saying, "Village chief let me be exposed, shouldn’t you let me look in return? Why hide between us?"

"Humph! If not hidden, isn’t it advantageous to us? He must certainly cover."

At this time, a cold snort accompanied by the sound of fluttering garments was heard from nearby, Dongfang Bubai and two others appeared at the door of the Seventh Gate.

Jiang Dali and Wan Wan already noticed beforehand, unsurprised, they both stood and turned to look.

Wan Wan laughed lightly, her eyes flashing distinct light, "I was just speaking sweet words with village chief, unexpectedly cannot speak anymore so soon."

"Village chief!"

Wang Yuyan disregarded the sting in Wan Wan’s words and Jiang Dali’s strange outfit, swiftly used Wave-skimming Micro-step to approach and ask, "Village chief are you alright?"

Jiang Dali shook his head and said "No problem".

Then he recounted the battle scene in front of the three, hearing this, their expressions varied, but all took a deep breath inwardly, realizing the true strength of such a formidable Primordial Spirit cultivator like Di Ni.

Gathered once more, their purpose has been achieved, after discussions, it was decided not to linger, taking a short rest, then quickly leaving.

Following routine, Jiang Dali explored some collection halls within Cihang Jingzhai.

Unfortunately, all he gained were useless Buddhist texts, without finding rumored Other Shore Sword Technique or the evolved Cihang Sword Manual.

Did not even find ordinary Martial Arts texts.

As for gold and silver jewelry, such wealth, not even worth Jiang Dali’s notice.

Inwardly cursed misfortune.

In the end, Jiang Dali watched as Wang Yuyan and Murong Qingqing cremate and bury the remains of Fan Qinghui and others, then carried the injured Demon Hawk to a nearby safe valley for recuperation, while he and his party rode on the Divine Phoenix, leaving the ruins of Cihang Jingzhai, heading straight to Song Country amid battles with Jin and Liao...
