Chapter 717: Chapter 717

Arrogant, domineering, ferocious!

A terrifying presence erupted from where Jiang Dali stood.

The black cloak hit the ground as Jiang Dali’s iron fists hung naturally at his sides, no longer striking, but an indomitable air of looking down upon the world had undoubtedly been revealed in his previous actions.

At this time, Wang Yuyan finally descended from the sky with her light Qinggong Cloud Stepping, her dress fluttering as she landed beside Jiang Dali.

Good and Evil Envoy Zhang San’s pupils shrank as he stared fixedly at Jiang Dali, his heart chilling as he gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you, exactly? What is your purpose in coming to our Hero Island?"

Jiang Dali’s gaze shifted towards a small hill on the island and he said with a light smile, "The name of this village chief has only begun to spread in the Martial World in recent years. It’s normal for you not to recognize me, but now that we’ve exchanged greetings, you should all know who I am."

Upon saying this, the expressions of the dozens around them darkened with shame and annoyance, especially upon seeing the strong man whose limbs had been broken, everyone felt a sense of dread and fear.

Now it was more than just recognition; it was downright frightening.

Breaking a man’s limbs is considered a greeting?

"Aren’t you folks on Hero Island always hospitable? Today, this village chief has come uninvited, bringing along a large group of enthusiastic brothers with me to the island. Surely your island master would not be unwelcoming, right?"

Jiang Dali said with a smile that was not quite a smile. Suddenly, he opened his mouth, and the Great Strength Divine Skill operated within his body. Profound Inner Strength poured into his throat as he called out with his hands behind his back.

"Black Wind Village Chief has come to visit the two Island Masters of Hero Island, Long and Mu. Please come out to meet me!"

The moment this sound was emitted, it turned into rolling sound waves like muffled thunder, echoing through the entire Hero Island. It even caused the fog surrounding the island to roil violently, and the sand on the beaches to bounce and scatter.

The roar of one person was comparable to the combined shouts of hundreds, if not thousands, creating echoes that resonated for a long time across the island’s mountains with thunderous responses.

"Please come out to meet us!"

A rock on the mountain actually broke off from the rest due to the reverberating sound waves.

Such a terrifying display of power was many times more frightening than the Revolving Demonic Sound, and far more exquisite than the Lion’s Roar.

The crowd changed color.

Inside the stone chambers of the mountain caves, more than ten people had been staring at the stone walls in contemplation or muttering to themselves with their eyes closed, and some were arguing loudly. However, as Jiang Dali’s roar came out, including the two Island Masters Long and Mu, everyone there was disturbed.

They felt a tyrannical and majestic aura along with the sound waves pouring into the cave from outside, as if a surge of Evil Qi had suddenly enveloped them, shaking everyone to the point where their Qi-Blood churned and their hearts were filled with shock.

"What strong power! Such a profound strength is almost comparable to you and me!?"

The rosy-cheeked Long Island Master looked at the equally shocked Mu Island Master in astonishment.

"In the Martial World of Yuan Country, the only ones with such terrifying strength are the Supreme Alliance Officer Guan Yutian, Helian Ba of Sea Shark Palace, and the Sword Master of Sword Casting City. There shouldn’t be a fourth, this Black Wind Village Chief..."

Mu Island Master suddenly shuddered and looked astounded, "Could this person be the Black Wind Village Chief from Song Country, the Green Forest hero who slaughtered the Power Gang and destroyed the Twelve Linked Water Fortresses?"

Although Hero Island was isolated overseas, it actually had many undercover agents observing the various forces in the Martial World.

None of the movements in the Martial World escaped the notice of the two Island Masters.

This was also why, over the years, the various major sects and groups of Yuan Country had tried their best to avoid, but could never escape the Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil Order.

Realizing Jiang Dali’s identity, both Long and Mu Island Masters had a solemn look on their faces.

Around them, many experts from major sects who had come to the island eight or even more years ago were also moved upon hearing this.

Although they did not know who the Black Wind Village Chief was, just by looking at the solemn expressions of the two Island Masters, and hearing that the Power Gang and the Twelve Linked Water Fortresses had been destroyed by the Black Wind Village Chief, they knew that the newcomer was an extremely formidable figure.

"Trouble is coming!!"

The thought crossed the minds of both Island Masters Long and Mu in unison, and they rose with grave expressions and walked out of the cave.

At this moment, a significant number of Players had also disembarked and set foot on the beach, ascending to Hero Island one after another like a swarm of locusts, displaying Qinggong skills such as Grass Hopping, Eight Steps to Catch a Cicada, Wild Goose Formation, and Swallow Three Water Dipping, all converging towards the location of Jiang Dali.

The multitude of Players were shocked when they saw a group of NPCs exuding dangerous black auras surrounding Black Wind Village Chief.

However, taking another look and seeing this group of NPCs seemingly at a disadvantage, they all let out a sigh of relief and slowed their pace subconsciously.

"So many high-level NPC masters, it seems Hero Island is really strong! Right now, I’m at the Bursting Energy Realm, and it’s still extremely dangerous to me, these must be NPCs from the Gang Qi Realm."

"However strong they are, can they be stronger than Black Wind Village Chief? He has already subdued them, look at that mutilated one over there, do you see?"

"Shit! That tall guy is almost skinned to the bone, this is..."

"Don’t be impulsive. Hold back. Since Black Wind Village Chief hasn’t killed them, he must have deliberately left them alive. We must not anger the village chief."

The Players approached while discussing among themselves, gradually splitting into four groups; three were from the three major guilds, and one group consisted of Independent Players gathered together.

Disciples like Zhang San and Li Si of the two Island Masters Long and Mu saw the dark tide of strange people coming together and all felt a tightness in their chests, looking wary.

Even if the strength of these foreigners wasn’t much, so many fearless Abnormal People gathered together would cause significant destruction if they went berserk.

The Players all keenly noticed this and began to feel more confident, even becoming haughty and arrogant.

And just at this moment, a burst of music surpassed the noise of firecrackers and gongs, carried down from the mountain path.

Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed as he looked towards the mountain path.

A succession of the sounds of clothing ripping through the wind came from the mountain path, with hundreds of short-sleeved guests in yellow clothes beating gongs and drums appeared on the path. Leading the way with their movement techniques were the two Island Masters Long and Mu.

The two Island Masters, looking at Jiang Dali from afar, cupped their fists in a salute, "The two Island Masters of Hero Island, Long and Mu, respectfully welcome our esteemed guest! We have long admired Black Wind Village Chief’s great name!"

As the two Island Masters spoke, their power was evident even though they were still a thousand paces away. Their words came across as clear as if they were speaking right beside him.

Jiang Dali was calm and composed, fixing his gaze with a light smile. "The village chief had long heard of Hero Island’s reputation and was worried that the two island masters might not extend an invitation to Jiang to come drink a bowl of Laba Porridge in the future, which is why I gathered my brothers and came to find it myself.

Who would have thought, Hero Island would be hidden in such a nook, making it quite the task for the village chief to locate."

Upon hearing this, both the Dragon and Wood Island Masters felt a chill in their hearts.

In the Martial World, only they, Hero Island, invited others to their island; never had anyone managed to find their way there uninvited.

the depth and strength of the Black Wind Village Chief already struck fear into hearts, surpassing all other guests they had ever invited to the island.

The Dragon Island Master in the yellow robe laughed heartily, "With your prowess, village chief, we, Dragon and Wood, would certainly invite you to come drink Laba Porridge on another day. It’s just unfortunate that it’s not the Laba season now, and you have come early."

The Wood Island Master, dressed in blue robes, his gaze flickering, noticed the disciples lying in pools of blood, his face revealing a shade of displeasure. "Not only have you come early, you’ve also overstepped your bounds. Does Master Jiang look down upon Hero Island so much that, uninvited, you’ve also gone so far as to injure my many disciples?"

By the time the two island masters finished speaking, they had already approached within a hundred paces.

With the Wood Island Master getting angry, even the Dragon Island Master’s expression darkened slightly, the atmosphere changing instantly.

The dozens of Martial World heroes following closely behind and the hundreds of Hero Island servants all felt a tightening in their chests, their gaze turning towards Jiang Dali, who, with a broadsword on his back, still maintained his calm demeanor and a light smile.

Jiang Dali’s eyes, under his bushy brows, flashed with a sharp light; with his hands behind his back, he spoke lightly with a smile, "To look down upon your Hero Island is something I wouldn’t go so far as to do, but to disapprove of your actions is certainly true.

Rewarding good and punishing evil, who gave you the right and confidence to do so?

The village chief came unbidden, indeed, to follow your example. I’d like to invite the two illustrious island masters of Hero Island to my Black Wind Village to drink a bowl of mountain village wine, what do you say?"

Both the Dragon and Wood Island Masters’ faces turned angry as they shouted explosively and in a flash, they were in front of their wounded disciples, frowning at Jiang Dali.

"Whether I’m arrogant or not is something the village chief has well in his own heart."

Jiang Dali’s eyelids slightly quivered as he lifted his hand to look at his pair of iron palms and said with indifference, "I’ve long heard that every ten years, Hero Island takes pleasure in sending out copper tokens to invite the leaders of various gangs to the island to drink Laba Porridge.

Those gangs who are unwilling to go will be wiped out by the two envoys.

This act of performing justice on behalf of heaven, it seems, is something you are quite addicted to?"

Dragon Island Master’s heart stirred, and he snorted coldly, "It seems Master Jiang went through a lot of trouble to find this island, surely for the sake of revenge?

If my guess is correct, among the gangs wiped out by the two envoys in the past, were there some who happened to be your relatives or friends?

Unfortunately, those whom Hero Island has slain have all been thoroughly investigated and proven to be extremely evil and malevolent, and we have never killed a good person."

"What a ’never killed a good person’."

Jiang Dali laughed loudly, his laughter carrying a deep mockery. "Are the Good and Evil Envoys of Hero Island really so discerning and impartial as to reward good and punish evil?"

Jiang Dali was very clear about the so-called Good and Evil Envoys of Hero Island.

In his past life, he had participated in the Jianghu tasks where the two envoys had been involved.

The first time those envoys met the ancient character Shi Potian, they had no idea about him. Seeing his unusual demeanor and behavior that didn’t conform to social norms,

they suspected he was an enemy with malicious intent against them.

It was one thing to be suspicious, but without confirmation, the envoys were set on sending Shi Potian to the Ghost Gate using their own poisonous wine, later intensifying the poison.

Such behavior was far from open and aboveboard.

Of course, what was even more important was that in his previous life, he was the unfortunate one who died from that same cup of poison, leading to the tragic failure of the mission.

However, this time Jiang Dali was causing trouble on the island, using it merely as pretext.

For him, regardless of whether Hero Island was virtuous or evil, now that he had arrived, the Supreme Mysterious Scripture on the island had to be taken as a pretext to move.

Dragon and Wood Island Masters unexpectedly discovered that this Divine Skill had not been fully comprehended for decades, also proving their affinity with the Supreme Mysterious Scripture was not meant to be; the scripture should change hands.

As soon as Jiang Dali finished speaking, the Good and Evil Envoys Zhang San and Li Si, feeling indignant, no longer cared for fear or awe and shouted loudly as they charged in again.

One of them, angry and charging forward, bent his right hand, slicing toward Jiang Dali’s neck like a curved blade with the sound of wind whooshing.

The other seemed to drift over like catkin, flicking his fingers lightly, sending piercing finger winds towards the vital points around Jiang Dali’s body.

Jiang Dali chuckled, his hands suddenly thrusting out together, bringing a storm with them, too swift to avoid, his palms like kites growing in the wind, churning up a fearful turbulence.

Noticing something was amiss, the Dragon and Wood Island Masters immediately yelled, diving towards Jiang Dali, trying to come to the rescue.

However, Jiang Dali’s palms suddenly spread with fingers wide, a ferocious absorption force bursting forth accompanied by the roar of dragons. The ground beneath his feet cracked and sank as if trampled by a massive elephant.

It was as if the space all around, up, down, left, and right suddenly collapsed, all material substance surging towards the body of Jiang Dali where the absorption force was emanating.

Both envoys’ faces changed, their bodies uncontrollably caught in the terrifying whirlwind of absorption, flying backward toward Jiang Dali’s hands, screaming as their saliva and hair were pulled into the air by the force.

Dragon and Wood Island Masters, who had just lunged forward, were horrified and immediately performed the Thousand Jin Fall to forcefully stop their forward momentum...
