Chapter 694: Chapter 694

"If this person really harbors ill intentions later, Cui Shan, you and Susu must immediately take Wuji and flee as far and as fast as you can.

I’ll risk these old bones to ensure your safety!"

Zhang Cui Shan was touched yet helpless.

He thought to himself how Black Wind Village Chief could command such a mystical and majestic eaget to fly in the skies, making it impossible for them to escape a giant eagle soaring through the air.

Moreover, the reason for their coming to Ice and Fire Islands might very well be for the Dragon Slayer Sword.

"Mom and Dad, and stepfather, what are you all talking about? Is my Master a bad person? Why are you resisting... resisting him?"

Zhang Wuji asked innocently, looking up at his parents.

Yin Susu, moved and emotional, reached out and touched Zhang Wuji’s head, "Child, have you forgotten what your mother once told you?"

Zhang Wuji innocently said, "Mom, Wuji remembers, you said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceptive she gets, but aren’t you the most beautiful woman?"

Yin Susu laughed helplessly, "Wuji, not that phrase, you’ve forgotten another one your mom said?

Mom mentioned that the Martial World is treacherous, whenever someone offers you benefits, you should first think why they give it to you, and what entitles you to accept it?

If you feel you shouldn’t take the benefit, then you must never accept it."

"Mom, Wuji understands."

Zhang Wuji’s young face was full of innocence as he nodded.

At this moment, the Demon Hawk had already landed in the distance.

Zhang Wuji immediately became excited and tugged at Yin Susu and Zhang Cui Shan’s hands, saying, "Come on, come on, Mom and Dad, stepfather, my Master has already descended, come on, let’s go welcome him."

Zhang Cui Shan and Yin Susu exchanged a helpless look, Xie Xun gave a cold grunt, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword, and moved towards the group.

Medicine King Mo Feiyuan and Ghost King Yin Skill both kneeled on one knee, performing a deep bow to Jiang Dali who had just leapt off the Demon Hawk’s back.

"Um! Get up! You’ve all worked hard."

Jiang Dali said with penetrative eyes, feeling a bit stiflingly hot, he casually pulled off his Black Cloak, revealing an intimidating and muscular body clad in black Strong Clothes that looked as though it was going to burst from his iron-like muscles.

The Players standing in two rows nearby all felt nervous, the Adam’s apples in their throats moved, staring at Jiang Dali’s bulky figure, they eagerly awaited new tasks and rewards.

"Thanks, Village Chief!"

Medicine King and Ghost King rose together, turned to look at Xie Xun and others who were approaching, pointing towards the little Zhang Wuji protected by them, they said.

"Village Chief, this is Zhang Wuji, the disciple you asked us to take under your wing. This child truly possesses great Martial Arts talent. The Nine Yang Divine Skill you instructed us to teach him, he has already managed a basic mastery, and is advancing very quickly."

"Um! That is very good."

Jiang Dali’s face showed a smile. Seeing Zhang Wuji approaching, he vaguely felt a surge of Qi Fortune, thus he lifted his head proudly and led the way towards Xie Xun and the others.

"What a vigorous and robust man!"

"With such a physique, he is indeed rare in this world."

Zhang Wuji, Zhang Cui Shan, and Yin Susu were all startled as they saw Jiang Dali approaching them.

Under the morning sun, a burly, unkempt and rugged big man walked towards them, head held high.

His eyes were stern and composed, exhibiting immense self-confidence and arrogance, with thick eyebrows, wide mouth, square face, and a thick neck. Under the thin black Strong Clothes, bulging and robust muscles seemed like a volcano ready to erupt, filled with extreme power.

This mighty figure approaching them brought an overwhelming pressure that felt mountainous and oceanic.

Even the blind Xie Xun felt the pressure tightening around his heart.

It felt like a monstrous primal beast was casually, yet dominantly, stepping forward in the darkness.

For the first time, Xie Xun suddenly felt uneasy even holding the Dragon Slayer Sword; it seemed like it would break if it struck the opponent.

Jiang Dali reached where Zhang Cui Shan and the others were standing, showing a harmless, self-proclaimed sunny smile, and greeted them.

"Master... are you my Master, Black Wind Village Chief?"

Zhang Wuji clung tightly to Yin Susu’s hand, looking up anxiously at Jiang Dali, his lively eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

Zhang Cui Shan hurriedly smiled and cupped his hands together as he addressed Master Jiang Dali solemnly, "Master Jiang, Cui Shan has long admired your great name. My child Wuji doesn’t know any better and recklessly calls others master. I hope you won’t take offense."

Master Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed, and his gaze struck Zhang Cui Shan’s face like lightning.

Zhang Cui Shan felt as though his skin had been scraped by a knife, his scalp numbed and his heart constricted, yet he still gritted his teeth and firmly met Master Jiang Dali’s eyes with a smile.

"What a commendable Zhang Cui Shan of Wudang! No wonder Master Zhang holds you in such high regard."

Master Jiang Dali nodded slightly.

Upon hearing the name "Master Zhang," Zhang Cui Shan shuddered, his face showing guilt and complexity as he hurriedly asked, "Master Jiang, do you know my master? Do you know how he is doing now? And how is Wudang doing?"

Master Jiang Dali shook his head, "Unfortunately, although I have had a spiritual connection with Master Zhang for a long time, I have never met him in person. However, I do know that Wudang has been developing quite well; even..."

Master Jiang Dali paused, his lips curving slightly, "Even the Wudang Sect can be said to have a very close connection and collaboration with my Black Wind Village. Many disciples of the Wudang Sect, when traveling the Martial World, have had numerous collaborations with the people of my Black Wind Village. Therefore, the Wudang Sect is doing quite well these days. Master Zhang must have heard of my name as well."

Upon these words, the group of players following behind Master Jiang Dali were dumbfounded, and they couldn’t help but chuckle silently to themselves, thinking that the big boss, Master Jiang, was actually making a serious joke, yet the joke was exactly like that.

"Oh? Is it actually so?"

Zhang Cui Shan looked surprised and skeptical but refrained from questioning him directly, instead nodding politely, glossing over the matter.

Master Jiang Dali, however, looked seriously and lightly at Zhang Wuji, saying, "I decided to take in your son Zhang Wuji as a disciple, especially after knowing that those two traitors from my Mountain Village, the Xuanming Two Elders, had used the Mystic Netherworld Divine Palm to injure your son. Since this matter originated because of my Mountain Village, I shall bear full responsibility. Those Xuanming Two Elders, with their malicious intents wreaking havoc, have tainted the reputation of my Black Wind Village, and I shall indeed clean house in the future. As for this disciple Wuji, I will certainly cultivate him well; both of you, as his parents, should rest assured."

Zhang Cui Shan and Yin Susu found this quite odd. Isn’t the name "Black Wind Village" itself not indicating a reputable sect? What does it mean that Xuanming Two Elders tarnished the name of Black Wind Village? Is Black Wind Village really that respectable?

"Master Jiang," Yin Susu forced a smile, "my child Wuji is still too young and clueless; regarding this matter of taking a master and joining Black Wind Village, perhaps we should wait until he’s grown up..."

Master Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed sharply, and he frowned, interrupting Yin Susu mid-sentence with a slow, deliberate tone, "In the Martial World, there are very few who dare to refuse me, and none dare to underestimate Black Wind Village. Do you think, Miss Yin, that your father’s Skyhawk Sect would be more suitable for Zhang Wuji?"

At Master Jiang Dali’s anger, a sudden intangible intimidation spread across the entire area, making the atmosphere seem almost solidified, with even the sea breeze quietly taking a detour. The gaze of the Fire King, Medicine King, and Ghost King all simultaneously fell on Yin Susu and others.

Under the glaring sunlight, both Yin Susu and Zhang Cui Shan felt an immense pressure suddenly descend, their backs breaking out in cold sweat, and Xie Xun’s expression also suddenly turned grave.

Only Zhang Wuji, unaffected, looked back and forth from his parents to Master Jiang Dali, not understanding why these adults were arguing over his issue with becoming a disciple.

Just then, Xie Xun, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword, stepped forward, his eyes shifting as he looked up to the Heavenly Vault and spoke harshly, "Black Wind Village Chief, when I, the Golden Lion King, roamed the Martial World, I had never even heard your name. You proposing to take in my child Wuji as a disciple is out of good intentions, and for that, I thank you in advance. However, my child Wuji’s honored grandmaster is the renowned Master Zhang from the Martial World. How would you compare yourself to Master Zhang, Black Wind Village Chief? If you wish to take Wuji as a disciple, first you must demonstrate your capabilities."

Master Jiang Dali’s eyes lit up, and with his hands behind his back, he lightly said, "You have been living overseas and are not aware that the name of Black Wind has been long established in the Martial World, which is understandable! Since the Lion King has asked me to demonstrate my abilities, tell me, how shall I demonstrate them? If it’s about battling the three of you, haha, I do not mean to boast, but even if all three of you come at me together, I could pin you all to the ground with just one hand!"
