CHAPTER 921: CHAPTER 733: POWER WITHOUT FATE, TEN SIDES AMBUSH! (BONUS CHAPTER 14 FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

Life itself is a war of various sizes and types, and in the end, there may be no winners or losers, only heartbroken people leaving early.

The glorious battlefield belonging to the Sword Master had ended prematurely.

The many disciples within the Sword Casting City were all deeply grieved, especially the Sword Master’s daughter, Jian Xiong, who was determined to avenge her father.

However, under the repeated dissuasions of the surviving Dragon Sword Envoy, Jian Xiong fled Sword Casting City with him, temporarily suppressing her hatred.

Jiang Dali did not pay much attention to these minor characters and events.

He had already entrusted Sword Casting City to Liao Rushen to manage, and he didn’t want to concern himself with how Liao Rushen planned to manage it or how he intended to hunt down and capture Jian Xiong and the Dragon Sword Envoy.

He only gave Liao Rushen one order—to stabilize Sword Casting City within a month and restore its former sword-casting glory within three months.

As support, he would later dispatch Yu Cheng’an, the World’s Number One Blacksmith, to reside in Sword Casting City.

Furthermore, he would widely recruit renowned craftsmen to reside in Sword Casting City, transforming it into the Black Wind Village’s "Mountain Village Equipment Manufacturing Supply Factory."

Even with just the matters pertaining to Sword Casting City, it was enough to keep Liao Rushen busy for a while, allowing him to fully vent his swelling ambitions.

And once Liao Rushen had operated Sword Casting City well, Jiang Dali would then begin using his ambition to develop it into a sharp blade.

Much like how Guan Yutian once used him to open up the Supreme Alliance’s situation, Jiang Dali would use him to expand the Black Wind Village’s territory, even incorporating the outside grasslands into the Black Wind Village’s lands, as a gift to Xiao Feng who herded sheep outside the border.

And so, under this series of arrangements, in just two days, Sword Casting City had completely changed hands.

Except for the Dragon Sword Envoy and the Sword Master’s daughter, Jian Xiong, who had fled, the other three Sword Masters were all killed by Ren Qianxing, and among the remaining middle and high-level members, except for a few loyal ones who chose to commit suicide, the rest all surrendered.

From then on, Sword Casting City, which was once a fifth-rate power, was greatly diminished to a sixth-rate power, becoming a vassal force of Black Wind Village.

Moreover, the sixth-rate power Hawk Castle led by Liao Rushen also became a vassal force of the Black Wind Village at the same time.

These two forces were both not insignificant major powers in the Yuan Country.

One occupied the fire mountain region of the Yuan Country, possessing earth fire and rich mineral resources;

The other was entrenched in the deep valleys of the northern Yuan Country, and its assassination business was renowned throughout the world.

Adding in a fifth-rate power, Hero Island, located in the Yan Bugui Sea Area.

The Black Wind Village now possessed a fifth-rate power and two sixth-rate powers in Yuan Country, a force significant enough to rival the Supreme Alliance, which had just acquired the Sea Shark Palace.

However, now even the Supreme Alliance had become allies with the Black Wind Village.

Therefore, when the All-Knowing Madman of the Jianghu Forum perceived this situation, he expressed such sentiment as "The Black Wind Village’s great momentum to seize the world is already formed."

He believed that the Black Wind Village would become the second most promising grassroots force to grow into a top three-tier force in the Martial World, following the World Association.

However, according to the calculations of the All-Knowing Sect, although Black Wind Village had the air of swallowing the world, the Black Wind Village Chief himself did not seem to possess the great life chart, like Xiong Ba, the leader of the World Association, having only a bit of Hidden Dragon fortune.

If it’s just such a fortune, it may face a disaster when Black Wind Village ascends to a three-tier force, becoming a wedding dress for others.

"Life chart... I have heard about these elusive things, just like fortunes, more than once. Unexpectedly, my Black Wind Village Chief, despite making a name for himself in the Martial World, actually has no life chart.

It seems that I ought to take some time to visit the All-Knowing Sect for consultation in the future."

In the air, Jiang Dali watched many Players on the forum engage in debates about their life charts due to the words of the All-Knowing Madman, pondering in his heart.

In fact, his newly-accepted subordinate, Liao Rushen, was a disciple of the Tianji Sect.

And the Tianji Sect was very adept in the arts of divination, astrology, and astronomy, and the name Liao Rushen even had the meaning of "profound foresight," not much inferior to the All-Knowing Madman, regarding these matters, Liao Rushen could also be consulted.

However, Jiang Dali was still somewhat wary of Liao Rushen, and regarding his own life chart and fortune, he still planned to combine the words of the All-Knowing Madman, consulting together, and not listening to just one opinion.

Originally, he never believed in such elusive "fates."

But he also knew that since life charts and fortunes truly existed in this world, even if he didn’t believe in them, he had to understand them.

No matter how strong the strength and fortune, without the support of a great life chart, it is a rootless tree, a waterless duckweed.

Just like Xiong Ba, who bore the life chart of Heavenly Destiny, rising with the wind and clouds, and falling with them, only Feng Yun could kill him.

If ordinary people did not understand the internal reasons, rashly opposing Xiong Ba, under the suppression of the life chart, the outcome would definitely be miserable.

With these thoughts, the Jianghu Forum became increasingly lively.

The first appearance of "life chart" completely stirred up the Players’ interest in discussion, and their debates about it remained unabated.

Many people couldn’t understand why the Black Wind Village Chief, so heroic, was only evaluated as having air but no life by the All-Knowing Madman.

In this case, wouldn’t even the mighty Black Wind Village Chief ultimately be unable to surpass fate with divine skills and might not always maintain his momentum to reach the pinnacle of the Mixed Martial Arts World?

If this were true, then the Mixed Martial Arts World was truly deep and unfathomable, instilling fear.

Most Players of the Black Wind Village were unwilling to accept such a result.

It’s like the stock you invested in and already went all in is in a high-speed rise suddenly hits a huge bearish news, how can the Players not be anxious and flustered, furiously refuting the notion of life charts on the Jianghu Forum.
