"Joyful Forest never interferes with the feuds of the Martial World, so I’ll go in alone later to find Lu Xiaofeng, to avoid causing trouble with your presence."
Jiang Dali sat on the Ice Soul Jade Chair and said to Dongfang Bubai.
"If you don’t interfere in Martial World disputes, what trouble would it be if we go together?" Dongfang Bubai retorted.
Jiang Dali’s eyebrows twitched as he realized that although Dongfang Bubai was severely poisoned at the moment, even if he could only exert one-tenth of his strength, it was not much less than his.
Going together actually seemed fine.
The Demon Hawk had already flown above the corresponding dense forest.
One could hear the bustling voices below in the forest.
Clusters of buildings filled the area, interspersed with men’s shouts and women’s light laughter.
Jiang Dali urged the Demon Hawk to fly down.
As they neared approximately sixty feet from the ground, many people inside the Joyful Forest had already noticed the giant eagle stirring up fierce winds.
They saw the imposing figure seated on the Ice Soul Jade Stone atop the giant eagle.
Many were startled upon seeing the figure on the giant eagle,
because many had never seen such a character before.
If it was said that Wan Pengwang of Twelve Flying Peng Castle was like a Heavenly God-like giant, sitting as tall as others standing,
then the Black Wind Village Chief was no less than Wan Pengwang.
Wan Pengwang called himself the King of Wan Peng, but he didn’t have such a giant eagle.
But the Black Wind Village Chief did.
The Black Wind Village Chief, like a Heavenly God, sat on the giant eagle, his bushy eyebrows over a pair of wild and bright eyes, overlooking everyone below, his wide and thick palms tightly gripped on the Jade Chair’s armrest, as if holding a terrifying power, ready to strike down anyone who dared to offend him.
Most people upon seeing such a person, immediately gasped.
And when they saw Dongfang Bubai, clad in intimidating red clothes by his side, they gasped even harder, while also feeling a bit greedy.
"Giant eagle, Jade throne, it’s him! The Black Wind Village Chief!? Then the one by his side must be..."
"Hiss! The Black Wind Village Chief, Dongfang Bubai! Both of them are formidable characters."
"No, I heard Dongfang Bubai was severely poisoned, retaining only one percent of his strength, he might now need the Black Wind Village Chief’s protection."
Inside Joyful Forest, most people who were outside enjoying drinks, watching dances, and listening to music suddenly didn’t feel so joyful anymore.
Not only were they not joyful, but they also felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
They were all startled to stand up, their expressions nervous, wary, and astonished, all gazes fixated on the two figures jumping down from the back of the Demon Hawk.
A very few people’s eyes flickered towards Dongfang Bubai, speculating how much power this once invincible champion of Hezhou still possessed,
and whether he carried the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s secret technique "Sunflower Treasure Book" with him.
Jiang Dali landed like Tie Niu.
His massive, iron-cast body created a pit in the ground, horrifying the nearby people to scramble away rolling and crawling.
Dongfang Bubai landed gracefully, fingers twirling his hair, his demeanor cold and disdainful, surveying the entire scene.
"Damn! The Black Wind Village Chief, my admired Brother Da Li, I’ve always wanted to join the Black Wind Village. He suddenly arrived at Joyful Forest? He sure can move fast."
"Big news, big news, quickly report this to ’Black Wind Daily’ on the forum."
"Lu Xiaofeng just arrived here not long ago, and now the Black Wind Village Chief has brought Dongfang Bubai along, they seem to be looking for Lu Xiaofeng, haha we’re so lucky to witness all this, quickly take pictures."
In a corner of Joyful Forest.
Some players who had joined Joyful Forest as errand runners and apprentice Assassins saw the Martial World celebrity, Jiang Dali, and were overly excited, immediately accessing the forum, stealing and snapping pictures.
But just then, a haughty snort arose, pushing aside a crowd of players with a cold shout, "What are you all crowding around here for? Go back to work immediately."
The speaker was a stunningly beautiful young man in purple robes.
He was so attractive he hardly seemed like a man, with skin finer and whiter than a woman’s, and a pair of delicate, smooth hands that didn’t seem fit for killing.
But he was an Assassin, Boss Gao said that if he wore women’s clothes and let his hair down, most men would give up everything for him.
He was Xiao He, who loved to wear the brightest clothes, wield the sharpest knives, and kill the toughest people.
The crowd of players seeing Xiao He immediately fell silent like cicadas in winter, and hurriedly went back to their tasks, not daring to linger any longer.
Jiang Dali, sensing something, directed his gaze towards the corner, landing on Xiao He.
Purple Robe gracefully looked back coldly at Jiang Dali.
Unlike those around them who were fearful and wary of Jiang Dali, he was not only unafraid, but the gleam in his eyes seemed eager and challenging.
But ultimately, when he heard a woman’s laughter, his lips curled up and he vanished into the woods.
Jiang Dali also heard the woman’s laughter.
At the sound of this laughter, the hearts of most people in the area that tightened upon seeing the Black Wind Village Chief instantly relaxed and stabilized.
This woman was undeniably Boss Gao.
Her face always carried a sweet, charming smile.
Such a person, beautiful and ever-smiling, naturally did well in business.
"Just this morning, there were magpies chirping, and I thought there was some good news. Little did I expect a grand figure like the Black Wind Village Chief to grace our Joyful Forest, and you too, the Sect Leader of Dongfang, this indeed is a great joy."
"I am here to find Lu Xiaofeng. He must be here with you, if I can’t find him, I won’t leave."
