When Kang Ying and the other two arrived at the City of Dawn, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
The Jiang brothers were still full of energy after a night of running, but Kang Ying was already exhausted.
After the three of them entered the city, they found an inn and asked the shopkeeper for two superior rooms. The Jiang brothers shared a room and Kang Ying lived alone.
"Kang Ying, I'll have to trouble you to stay here for the next few days," Jiang Cheng said to Kang Ying.”
"What can I do?" Kang Ying said.”After saying that, she went back to her room alone.
The moment she entered the room, Kang Ying saw that there was nothing else in the room other than a bed, a small table, and four chairs. She couldn't help but feel angry."The inn is really simple and crude. It doesn't even have a carpet.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Kang Ying said impatiently,"Who is it?"
Jiang Zhong's voice sounded from outside the door."Kang Ying, you must be hungry after running around all night. I brought you some food."
Kang Ying's stomach was already empty. When she heard Jiang Zhong bring food, she hurriedly opened the door and said,"Yes, quickly put it on the table."
After Jiang Zhong entered the room, he placed the food on the table but did not leave. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Say it if you have something to say." Kang Ying asked.”
"Kang Ying, this is our first time in the City of Dawn. We know nothing about this place," said Jiang Zhong. I want to check the surroundings. Jiang Cheng will stay in the inn and be at your service at any time.”
Kang Ying thought that this was not a big deal, so she nodded in agreement.
Jiang Zhong got Kang Ying's permission before turning around and leaving. He left the inn and went straight to the horse market in the City of Dawn. He found a horse seller with a black grass pattern on his chest and asked,""Is your horse wild? What did you eat to grow up?"
When the horse seller heard this, he sized up Jiang Zhong from the corner of his eye and combed the horse's hair. He said absent-mindedly,"Official, are you joking? Who didn't know that horses grew up eating grass? If the horse did not eat grass, could it swallow the clouds in the sky?”
When Jiang Zhong heard this, he leaned closer to the horse vendor and whispered,""If the wind blows and brings the clouds to Wild Horse's mouth, Wild Horse can swallow them.”
Hearing this, the horse seller sized up Jiang Zhong again. Seeing that Jiang Zhong's right hand seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally moving slightly, as if he was chasing clouds and pulling grass, he called a small worker with the same pattern on his chest to take care of the business. Then, he walked towards a remote alley without looking back.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhong immediately followed.
The two of them walked into the alley one after the other. After making a few turns, the horse seller flashed into a small house, and Jiang Zhong immediately followed. There was no light or windows in the hut, making it very dark.
The horse seller lit a candle and waited for the hut to have some light before saying to Jiang Zhong,"How is it? Has the great event been completed?" It turned out that this horse vendor was not an ordinary horse vendor, but someone with a great background.
"Although there's a change in the plan, it doesn't affect the overall situation."”She immediately told him about how Kang Ye had spared Kang Ying's life.
"That Kang Ying is still a worry. Why didn't Kang Ye eliminate her?" If it's inconvenient for you to do it, I'm willing to do it for you.”
"Kang Ye has his own plans for this. You don't have to worry about it."”
The horse seller snorted and did not say anything else.
"Kang Ye will soon take over the position of chieftain. I wonder what will happen next?"”
"Wait for me to report this to my master," the horse seller said.”
"Thank you for your trouble," said Jiang Zhong. That's right, that 'Source Gem' was truly magical. After wearing it, he had the energy to replenish his body. With the Source Gem, I can actually run for 12 hours with my Gale True Force without feeling tired at all! I wonder if you can give me some more?"
"A single 'Source Gem' is enough to provide a person with endless benefits for a lifetime," the horse vendor said. Moreover, even in my Icewind Nation, this 'Source Gem' is an extremely limited and precious treasure.”It turned out that the horse seller was a spy planted by the Arctic State in the City of Dawn.
The horse seller continued,"Go back first. When my master sends word, I will find you."”
Jiang Zhong nodded and left immediately.
The next morning, Kang Ying was woken up by the bustling sounds coming from the street outside the inn. After she woke up, she looked at the whip wound on her back in the bronze mirror. Seeing that the wound was gradually improving, she was relieved and ignored it. After that, Kang Ying ordered the waiter to prepare some hot water for her to wash up.
After Kang Ying had breakfast, she called the Jiang brothers over and asked,"Jiang Zhong, how was your investigation yesterday?”
Jiang Zhong told Kang Ying the story he had prepared beforehand. He talked about the prosperity of the City of Dawn and the city.
After Kang Ying heard this, her heart itched and she wanted to tour around. However, because her injuries had yet to recover, she could only give up.
In the following days, Kang Ying recuperated in the inn every day and listened to Jiang Zhong talk about what he had seen in the city. If Jiang Zhong went out, Kang Ying would cultivate the True Force of Universe Earth when she was bored.
On the day Kang Ying escaped from the Grass Cloud Tribe, the Great Elder rushed to her yurt and saw Kang Yun and the other three unconscious people. He immediately convicted Kang Ying of "harboring a grudge against her father and even poisoned him to take revenge".
The furious First Elder quickly entered the tent and went to check on Kang Yun and the others 'injuries. After a quick investigation, First Elder saw that besides the pill that fell out of Kang Ye's mouth, Tribal Chief Kang Yun, his wife Ding Shi, and his son Kang Yao had all died from poisoning.
In his rage, the Great Elder immediately summoned the tribe's guerrilla cavalry and ordered them to capture the traitor Kang Ying, dead or alive!
The next day, Kang Ye woke up after the anesthetic wore off.
When First Elder learned that Kang Ye had woken up, he hurried to Kang Ye's yurt and asked him about last night.
When Kang Ye saw First Elder's serious and anxious expression, he knew that Kang Yun and the others had already died from the poison. He thought to himself,"Other than Kang Ying, who fled because of her guilt, I'm the only one in this world who has the Tribal Chief's bloodline! If nothing went wrong, no one else would be able to take over the position of Grass Cloud Tribe's Tribal Chief!”
Kang Ye was overjoyed when he thought about how he would be taking over the Grass Cloud Tribe in a few days, but his face was filled with grief and sadness. He said to the elder,"Grand Elder, when I went to visit Kang Ying last night, she already knew of her mistakes. She even begged me to invite the Tribal Chief's family and said that she would personally pour tea to apologize. Later, she remembered that I had enlightened her, so she also toasted me with a cup of milk tea. Seeing that she was so sensible, I was happy and drank a cup.
"Who knew that the milk tea had already been poisoned by her. After the chief's family drank tea with me, they only felt sore and powerless.”"After I fell to the ground, I saw Kang Ying get out of bed and take out a few red pills. She fed them to us one by one."
"When she finally came to feed me the medicine, for some reason, she suddenly ran out. I thought that the pill was definitely not a good thing, so I tried my best to spit it out. As soon as I spat it out, I fainted.”
"First Elder, have my brother Kang Yun and his family woken up?" Kang Ye asked.”
The elder let out a long sigh, both sorrowful and angry. After a long while, he said,"Kang Ye, do you know what kind of poison Kang Ying gave you?”Without waiting for Kang Ye to reply, he continued,"She added a colorless and odorless 'Softening Gold Powder' into the milk tea. No matter how powerful you were, as long as you took a little of this medicine, you would lose all your True Force and fall unconscious. The red pill was even more powerful, it was called the Burning Heart Pill. Once consumed, the organs in the body would be burnt to ashes by the poison. This Heart Burning Pill was extremely vicious and there was no antidote. What was even more shocking was that these two poisons were unique to the Ice Wind Kingdom!”
When Kang Ye heard the words of the Great Elder, he knew that the Tribal Chief Kang Yun and his youngest son Kang Yao had died, and the Great Elder had even blamed the crime of killing the Tribal Chief on Kang Ying. The ecstasy in his heart was hard to describe.
Even though Kang Ye was extremely happy, his face remained unchanged. He still had an extremely sorrowful expression.
The Great Elder was experienced and knew that the tribe could not lose its backbone.
He said to the sorrowful Kang Ye,"The tribe cannot be without a leader for a day. Kang Ye, you must pull yourself together. Our sons of the grasslands must not be like that woman who only knows how to cry!”
When Kang Ye heard this, he knew that the Great Elder had decided to make him the new Tribal Chief. He was so ecstatic that he could hardly suppress it. After a while, he finally calmed down and said," The Tribal Chief has just passed away, and his body is not cold yet. As the Tribal Chief's younger brother, how can I, how can I…" Kang Ye suddenly remembered that the Great Elder had not said anything about him taking over the position of Tribal Chief, so he did not know how to continue his words. He forced himself to tighten his throat and pretended to cry.
When the Great Elder saw Kang Ye's grief, he was afraid that he would not be able to immediately become the Tribal Chief and cause the hearts of the tribe to fall apart, so he immediately shouted at him sternly,"Kang Ye, as the blood brother of the Tribal Chief, are you going to watch the tribe decline without helping? Can't you be like a man of indomitable spirit and shoulder your responsibilities?
"The current matter must be caused by the Ice Wind Nation, instigating Kang Ying to poison the Tribal Chief. Now that they have succeeded, they will definitely attack our tribe before the Grass Cloud Tribal Chief is appointed. If my Grass Cloud Tribe is attacked by the Ice Wind Evil Thief, not only will the strength of the Imperial Lightning Federation decrease greatly, but it will also cause the Imperial Lightning Federation to lose a barrier. If the Ice Wind Nation wants to take the opportunity to attack the Imperial Lightning Federation, the Imperial Lightning Federation will definitely not be able to resist!
"At this juncture, how can you be so sentimental and lose the responsibility of a man? Humph, I sent an urgent letter to Wind Castle last night and informed them that our chief was killed. Kang Ye, since you're fine, I'll announce you as the Tribal Chief tomorrow. At noon the day after tomorrow, I'll hold a succession ceremony for you. Remember, there are no cowards in our grasslands!”Then, without waiting for Kang Ye to say anything, he angrily left the yurt.
Inside the yurt, Kang Ye was lying on the bed alone, excited and ecstatic. Under his excitement, the True Force in his body had reached the Five Star stage.
Ever since people stepped into the grasslands, they had not only faced storms and thunderstorms, but they also had to deal with wolves and vultures. Therefore, almost all the people of the grasslands practiced martial arts, and those with some status even cultivated internal strength.
And after the Sun Dayao a few decades ago, the men on the plains who possessed inner qi were shocked to discover that not only did their inner qi become more powerful, but it also evolved into fire, earth, wind, water, and other types.
Later on, the people of the grasslands learned that this internal force was called True Force, and those who possessed the Five-pointed True Force were Five-pointed Martial Masters. Even more powerful than a Five-star Martial Master was a Five-star Heavenly Master. However, there were very few Taoist masters in the Imperial Lightning Federation, and they all lived in the Wind Castle. It was rare for ordinary people to see them. Therefore, most people in the grasslands only heard that the Taoist Master was powerful, but they did not know how powerful he was.
Whether it was a Five-pointed Martial Master or a Five-pointed Heavenly Master, they were all born decades ago after the sun suddenly became dazzling for a short period of time. However, at the age of eight, Xiaokang Ying cultivated the true power of the world, which was obviously inherited from his father Kang Yun.
Dawn, City of Dawn.
When Kang Ying woke up early in the morning, she noticed that the scab on her wound had fallen off, revealing new tender flesh. She was overjoyed and thought to herself, My injuries are finally healed, hahaha! I can finally go out shopping and play, hahaha!”She then thought,"The recovery time of my injuries is much earlier than I expected. It must be because I have been cultivating diligently these days." En, after his True Qi was deep, there were indeed many benefits. In the future, he would have to work hard on his cultivation.”
The excited Kang Ying changed out of her beast dress and washed up before putting on a long cotton dress. Her brows were full of heroic bearing, and although she was not as graceful and luxurious as the women of the Central Plains, she had a different kind of charm.
Kang Ying took some gold and silver and left the inn.
She had been living in the Grass Cloud Tribe since she was young. She had never left the tribe. She had never even been to the Pegasus Tribe or the Guyuan Tribe. She did not know how the famous Wind Castle of the Imperial Thunder Federation was like. Now that she was in the City of Dawn, she was very curious about the things in the city.
She went to the casino and then to the market. However, Kang Ying did not like the noise and foul atmosphere of the casino. Although she was interested in the things sold in the market, it was crowded and crowded, so she had little interest.
Just as Kang Ying was getting bored, a middle-aged man came up to her and said,"Look at Young Lady's expression, could it be that she has something troubling her? If you trust me, why don't you tell me? Perhaps I can help you.”
Kang Ying was stunned. She looked at the person up and down and asked,"How do you know that I have a difficult problem? You and I don't know each other, so why are you helping me?”
The middle-aged man was startled by Kang Ying's words. However, the middle-aged man recovered his senses in a moment. He laughed and said to Kang Ying,"Young Lady, you must be joking. I am the escort of the Illuminati, and I specialize in solving problems for others. If Young Lady has enough money, then no matter how difficult it is, I can resolve it for Young Lady.”
Kang Ying came back to her senses and thought,"So he's a bounty hunter."
In the Thunder Imperial Federation, whenever a small tribe encountered a lion pride or wolf pack that they could not resist, they would light a beacon fire and seek help from others.
If a powerful tribe saw the flames of war, they would definitely go and help them tide over the crisis. After defeating the beast horde, the person who asked for help would often give a generous reward to the person who helped. Some powerful nomadic tribes made a living by helping others repel their enemies. The people of the grasslands called them " bounty hunters."
Since Kang Ying understood his intentions, she said,"Then what kind of ability do you have? If you can't even compare to me, then it's better to get lost as soon as possible.”After saying that, he secretly circulated the True Energy of Universe Earth in his body. In an instant, a pale yellow True Force light shone from Kang Ying's body. Her face was full of pride, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a disdainful and mocking smile. She looked at the middle-aged man mockingly as if she was saying,"I'm a five-star martial master. Can you compare to me?”
Who knew that the middle-aged man only smiled slightly and then his entire body was covered in light red True Force. He stood still with his palm facing down and then controlled the flames to shoot out from the Yongquan acupoint on his foot and the Dingjing acupoint on his palm. The middle-aged man relied on the counterforce of the flames to actually rise from the ground and stand more than a foot above the ground.
The middle-aged man stood in the air and smiled at Kang Ying."Young lady is a martial master of the universe. It is an honor to meet you. I am Xin Longtian, and I have yet to ask for your name.”
Kang Ying was shocked by Xin Longtian's skill and did not hear him speak.
Xin Longtian saw Kang Ying's dazed expression and laughed in his heart. He said,"My Fire True Force is still worthy of your eyes, right?”
Only then did Kang Ying regain her senses. She was extremely jealous of the Fire True Force that had the ability to fly, but she immediately suppressed her jealousy.
She snorted coldly, not willing to be outdone, she circulated her Universal Earth True Force and used "Luxiang Roaming". Her feet did not move, and her body did not tilt. It was as if the ground under her feet was moving on its own. It carried her body and quickly flew into the distance, no longer paying attention to Xin Longtian.
