Chapter 781: 0622: The Cultivation Technique of Resurrection, Power Advancement (Guaranteed Monthly Ticket Request)
"You killed all those people just now, why leave this one behind?"
"I have a friend in Ying Country, and I've lost contact with him for a long time. Shuiyue Sect still has some influence over there, and I do need such a dog to do my bidding."
"Which friend?"
"Dongfang Bubai!"
"Sunrise in the East, I alone am invincible! Hezhou's number one expert, Sect Hierarch of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. It's rare for someone you regard as a friend to be taken to heart."
Murong Qingqing said this, then looked down at the two barely stitched-together corpses on the ground, glanced at the blood-stained Heavenly Demon Zither in her arms, and sighed softly.
"Heavenly Demon Zither, Heavenly Demon Zither, every time the Heavenly Demon Zither appears in the Martial World, it instigates a maelstrom of blood and carnage. I wonder if I can keep this zither safe."
Jiang Dali crossed his arms over his chest and said indifferently, "With you by my side, who can take your Heavenly Demon Zither, and who would dare?"
Even though the remark was delivered in a subdued tone, it brimmed with confidence, and no one doubted it, including Murong Qingqing.
But her pretty face reddened as she said, "Who wants to stay by your side all the time? You already have Miss Wang by your side."
Jiang Dali's eyes flashed, looking towards Wang Yuyan not far away, directing Shuiyue Sect in handling the corpses. He shook his head and said, "She has indeed been by my side because she has a rare talent, truly a gem to find.
In fact, what I need more is someone capable of holding their own, someone who can fight alongside me in the future."
"Fight alongside you?"
A gust of mountain wind brought the stench of blood from the battlefield. Murong Qingqing's long hair fluttered in the wind, and she frowned, "Are you referring to the Fire Qilin?"
Jiang Dali laughed softly, "The Fire Qilin is a very, very small goal."
Murong Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief, "That's still a small goal? What is your ultimate goal then? I feel that being someone who can fight alongside you is a very dangerous affair."
Jiang Dali smiled lightly, reached out, and patted Murong Qingqing's delicate shoulder, causing her to grimace in pain, saying, "First, you also need to qualify to be my partner. At present, it seems, you still have a lot of room for improvement."
Saying this, Jiang Dali calmly said, "Later, I will have Xiao Wang compile some Martial Arts for you to learn. Although you play the zither well, and wielding the Heavenly Demon Zither, even I am wary of its lethality, but you yourself are too fragile. You need to bulk up, like me!"
Murong Qingqing was taken aback, looking at Jiang Dali's strong and massive build and picturing herself muscular and grotesque in the future, she quickly shook her head, "No, I don't want that."
"No, you need it!"
Jiang Dali stated unquestionably, "If you don't mind, starting today, your Sky Zither Sect will become one of Black Wind Village's allied powers, holding the same status as the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
This way, I can entrust you with important tasks and nurture you better.
With my influence, anyone in the Martial World who wants to take the Heavenly Demon Zither from your hands will have to think twice."
Murong Qingqing initially wanted to refuse, but hesitated upon hearing the last part.
She was well aware that with her current strength at the Heavenly Human 1st Realm, while formidable and wielding the divine weapon like Heavenly Demon Zither, even usual experts at the Heavenly Human 3rd or 4th Realm might not overcome her and instead might get injured by the zither.
But she was too frail herself, and the Heavenly Demon Zither was not easy to wield.
Once enemies outnumbered her, she would struggle to stand alone.
Therefore, she and the Sky Zither Sect indeed needed a reliable shoulder to lean on.
The Black Wind Village and Black Wind Village Chief were indeed suitable candidates for alliance.
Moreover, she was clear that Jiang Dali's kindness, despite the suspicion of utilitarian motives, was a great favor that must be acknowledged.
"Alright... alright!"
Murong Qingqing exhaled and felt a great deal of pressure lift from her heart after agreeing, inexplicably feeling secure.
"Sky Zither Sect Leader Murong Qingqing agrees to ally with your Black Wind Village, with you as the leader. Your reputation in the Sky Zither Sect reaches the level of worship, your reputation in the Martial World increases by 10,000, and Murong Qingqing's favor towards you increases by 500."
A notification appeared on Jiang Dali's interface.
Jiang Dali glanced at it, nodded slightly at Murong Qingqing, then turned and walked towards a commotion with exclaims coming from behind.
"Chief, Chief, take a look, you must see this, he—he—he's resurrected!"
As Jiang Dali moved forward, Wang Yuyan had already rushed over, grabbing onto Jiang Dali's sturdy and powerful arm, hiding half of her body behind him in terror, pointing at the two halves of the body on the ground.
The people from Shuiyue Sect were also ashen and shock was evident on their faces.
Jiang Dali walked over, frowning, and said calmly, "No need to panic. If I could kill him once, I can do it a second time. If it's a resurrection, just crush the body to dust."
Resurrections weren't that much of a concern to him.
On the ground, Mo Zizhu's body split in two was eerily starting to squirm and stick back together, continuously emitting a unique wave of Alien True Qi, even drawing Heaven and Earth Power into its body.
The blood bar that had dropped to zero was now, before Jiang Dali's eyes, miraculously reappearing, albeit very faintly, looking like it could be snuffed out with just one punch.
But it was still astonishing.
Jiang Dali approached, looking at Mo Zizhu on the ground motionless, eyes filled with terror and unwillingness.
His fingers twitched, and the gashes on his body opened by the strike were now slowly contracting, the wounds healing.
