Chapter 1923 - 1480: Mountain Village Crisis? I’ll Show You What Comprehensive Sanctions Really Mean! (Monthly Ticket Requested)

The white clouds on the ridge stretch and roll, while the bright moon at heaven’s edge comes and goes.

There is much turmoil in the Three Realms, all because of the endless quest for dawn....

In a blink, another two days have passed.

Jiang Dali has yet to walk out from the Holy Dynasty’s Scripture Pavilion, while over seventy million players are eager to enter the Mixed Martial Arts World today.

At once, white lights flashed all over the Martial World, from countless sects, cities, wine bars, teahouses, inns, and ships... After a fifteen-day absence, the Abnormal People mysteriously appeared again from every corner.

Players from all sects started interacting with nearby NPCs immediately after logging in, trying to find out if any major events had occurred in the Mixed Martial Arts World during the fifteen days they’d been away.

Many players had already prepared themselves psychologically, with their first direction for seeking news being related to the Black Wind Village and its Black Wind Village Chief.

Because every time there was a collective log-off and log-on, one would often hear of a major event caused by the Black Wind Village Chief, this mountain bandit leader seemed to constantly wreak havoc, overshadowing the Martial World with a single hand.

However... all players, from the changed state of Supreme Alliance’s policies, implicitly realized that the idyllic relations between the Black Wind Village Chief and players might severely deteriorate due to policy shifts in the Supreme Alliance.

At this time, sentiments were most complex and anxious among the millions of Mountain Village Disciples who logged in at Black Wind Village and its various sub-branches, generally filled with low spirits and worry.

More than a million Mountain Village Disciples who joined during the recent public test began to hesitate about leaving the Mountain Village, yet due to the past intimidation of the Black Wind Village Seven Killings Order, only a few have taken action, with most players observing while also inquiring into the recent Martial World situation.

As time passed, players everywhere had gathered the latest firsthand information, particularly the few thousand family players descended in the Holy Dynasty, all astounded beyond measure by the major event caused by the Black Wind Village Chief in the Holy Dynasty.

There’s no wall in the world impenetrable by the wind.

Even in vassal states where news is relatively delayed, information from the Holy Dynasty has quietly spread over the past two days, gathered by the ubiquitous players.

Thus, news that Jiang Dali, under the identity of Marquis Wei Wu, wreaked havoc in the Holy Dynasty, nearly bringing down a top family of a thousand-year history within the Holy Dynasty by his own strength, quickly spread and stirred wildly on the Jianghu Forum like a spark igniting a prairie.

Millions of players shared their intelligence and information on the Jianghu Forum, yet whenever discussions arose, they almost invariably pertained to the dazzling Black Wind Village Chief and the Black Wind Village...

In just a brief over ten days, Jiang Dali, once again caused a major event seemingly piercing a hole through heaven.

Many players who previously underestimated him believed that the Black Wind Village Chief’s tyranny would be confined to the vassal state, unable to penetrate the Holy Dynasty.

Once players headed for development in the Holy Dynasty, the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali would become a regional boss limited to the vassal state, and the influence on players would gradually weaken, which became an excuse for those now preparing to leave the Black Wind Village...

However now, the village chief transformed, under the identity of Marquis Wei Wu, stirring the heavens and clouds in the Holy Dynasty, dismantling a thousand-year-history top family with a mere gesture, leaving all major forces wary, akin to a dragon riding across one’s face, a resounding slap in the faces of players doubting the Black Wind Village’s might.

Facts proved that the Black Wind King still remains the Black Wind King, an upright walker wherever he goes, seemingly unaffected by the strong dragon’s pressure over the local snakes, which has caused many players originally contemplating leaving the Black Wind Village to suddenly find themselves in a dilemma...

It is apparent that due to the influence of the incredible character of the Black Wind Village Chief, the Black Wind Village still counts as one of the peak forces of the Mixed Martial Arts World, even surpassing Shaolin and Wudang in terms of power and fame, comparable to major vassal states.

With resources and fame of a single force comparable to a vassal state, and indeed a powerful vassal state, this energy, there’s no fault in it being on par with top families of the Holy Dynasty.

Yet in the Holy Dynasty, no player could join a top family, whereas the Black Wind Village has low entry barriers, although betrayal demands a hefty price.

As long as players remain within the force, the resources and treatment they could enjoy in the future are distinctly superior to other forces, but once they choose to betray...

On the Jianghu Forum, numerous Black Wind Village players anonymously discuss which path to take, their exchanges fervent,

"It’s hard now, I don’t know how to choose, whether to bow to reality and leave the Black Wind Village, or disregard the developments in reality and focus on development in the Mixed Martial Arts World?"

"I am also grappling with this issue. In reality, cultivating martial arts to strengthen the body, not only implies future status and rights in Supreme Alliance, but also means potentially extending lifespan and living much longer with strength."

"But now, our development in the Black Wind Village is quite good, leaving the Mountain Village with the cost of betrayal is immense, according to the past Black Wind Seven Killings Order, future mobility within the Martial World is likely to become very restricted, leaving us with no choice but changing head and face, even unable to utilize Mountain Village Martial Arts learned in Black Wind Village, suffering significant losses."

"I’ve recently joined the Mountain Village, so I don’t have such concerns, only worried about being chased and killed across the Martial World, as our village’s power now is indeed vast, with so many Eight Desolate Disciples who turn against their own without warning."
