Chapter 131 Sky Eagle Guardian
Ye Kang ignored him and just walked back.
Not long after, a group of masked men walked over, led by Han Ying, a member of the Qinglin Guard.
When she saw Ye Kang, her expression changed drastically, and she rushed over immediately.
"Lord Ye! You're not dead?"
Ye Kang was completely bewildered.
"Lord Han doesn't seem very happy?"
"No, no, Lord Ye, you've misunderstood. We all just thought you..."
Han Ying looked ashamed; she truly believed that Ye Kang was finished.
Because three nights ago, when Yan Huan came to kill them, the two of them fled in different directions.
If Yan Huan didn't pursue her, then he must have gone after Ye Kang.
No matter how strong Ye Kang is, he is only a seventh-rank cultivator. How could he possibly escape from Yan Huan, who is an eighth-rank cultivator?
After the battle ended, they indeed found the battlefield where Ye Kang and Yan Huan fought.
However, no bodies were found; all that was known was that someone had died, and that no remains had been found.
Despite the many remaining doubts, Han Ying instinctively felt that it was Ye Kang who had died.
Han Ying's expression was quite interesting upon seeing that he was still alive.
"This is unbelievable, Lord Ye! How come you're completely unharmed? Did Yan Huan not catch you that night?"
Seeing her surprised expression, Ye Kang knew what was going on.
It seems I haven't been exposed; I'm so lucky.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I was only focused on running away at the time, and I accidentally ran far away. There were quite a few demonic disciples of the Heavenly Damage Sect around here, so I went to chase after them."
"No wonder, then all these corpses along the way are you, Lord Ye?"
“I killed them. These Tianshen believers have committed numerous evils and deserve to die.”
Ye Kang didn't hesitate at all; he knew exactly what to admit and what not to admit.
Han Ying immediately nodded: "Good riddance! It's just a good thing Lord Ye wasn't here, so we didn't receive the order to capture him alive from the garrison commander, which doesn't count as a violation. But it's strange, where exactly did Yan Huan go?"
"Who knows? Maybe they weren't here to kill us in the first place, and they just ran away to save their lives."
"That's possible. Lord Ye, please go back and report. We'll continue to capture the remaining fugitives!"
"No need. I've killed most of them already. Even if you went now, you probably wouldn't be able to catch them any further away."
Han Ying thought that made sense. Anyway, bringing back the heads along the way would be a great achievement, so she simply stopped chasing and returned with Ye Kang.
In the afterglow of the setting sun.
The group returned to their temporary camp.
The masked men and the Green Scale Guards were resting here, and at least several dozen prisoners of the Heavenly Loss Cult were imprisoned, all with expressions of despair.
Upon hearing the news of Ye Kang's return, Lingdang and Tieta were the first to arrive.
These two were unharmed, and the battle did not affect them; on the contrary, they benefited greatly.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ye Kang.
"Lord Ye, you've been missing for three days! You have no idea how worried we were!"
"That's right, it's thanks to the garrison commander's insistence that we're waiting for you here."
Ye Kang's eyebrows twitched.
"Lord Garrison Commander, are you waiting for me?"
"Yes, he said he couldn't abandon any of his brothers, so he specially built a camp here. Now that you're back, let me take you to see the garrison commander!"
The bell was very lively. Ye Kang nodded in agreement. It was time to meet this mysterious town guardian.
The two arrived at a tent, and Lingdang peered inside with a carefree attitude. Suddenly, a deep voice rang out.
"You brat, if you look at me again I'll throw you into the Crimson Darkness's blood pool for a bath."
"Hey! I'm not watching anymore! I'm leaving!"
Startled, Lingdang ran away quickly, sticking her tongue out at Ye Kang playfully.
The voice sounded again.
"come in."
Ye Kang knew they were talking to him, so he strode inside.
The first thing you see is a simple wooden table, in front of which sits a middle-aged man with a tall, strong build and a resolute, weathered face, wearing a majestic cloak.
Behind him lay a large bow and a long spear standing proudly, its tip still stained with thick blood.
Ye Kang respectfully cupped his hands: "Ye Kang of the Imperial City Guard greets the Guardian of the Sky Eagle Garrison."
Tianying smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Lord Ye, you flatter me. The Imperial City Guard and the Azure Scale Guard are of the same rank according to custom, and I am actually a rank lower than Lord Ye."
"You flatter me, Lord Garrison Commander. I am here to learn. Here, you are my superior. How could I dare to overstep my bounds?"
“This is interesting. Please make yourself at home. I’ve been wanting to meet you for a while, but I’ve been too busy. I never expected that our first meeting would be here.”
Ye Kang didn't stand on ceremony and casually found a pile of straw to sit on the ground.
He said, "I think it's not bad for martial artists to meet on the battlefield."
"You're really good. To be honest, you scared me half to death."
"What do you mean, sir?" Ye Kang asked, feigning ignorance.
Tianying glanced at him and said irritably, "Still pretending. I thought Han Ying was going to die, but when I got there, Han Ying said that Old Demon Chiming's son went after you."
"Does the master think I will die?"
"No, I believe that those whom His Majesty values must have something extraordinary about them. Sure enough, although you covered up the traces of the battle, I can still sense that it was Yan Huan who died. You, a freak, are truly a freak for overthrowing your superior."
The guardian of Sky Eagle Town looked at Ye Kang with a smile, his words full of curiosity.
He also wanted to know how Ye Kang had done it.
But he didn't ask any further questions, only saying, "But I guess you don't want to admit it either, so I'll go along with it. It's just that this credit..."
"Nature has nothing to do with me; I know nothing about it."
"Don't worry, kid. I'll spread the word that Yan Huan is missing and that Old Demon Chi Ming won't even notice you."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Ye Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
Talking to smart people is so convenient. Before you even say anything, they've already guessed everything and have made all the arrangements perfectly clear.
The Eagle Guardian continued, "I will write up the dossier for you, and you will also receive your due reward for your merits. This time you killed three seventh-grade Xiantian cultivators and dealt with a bunch of Tiansun Sect disciples. Together, these are two great achievements. You can apply to exchange items in the Azure Scale Treasure Vault. Take a look."
As he spoke, he tossed out a jade pendant.
"The true energy seeps in, and there are words inside. It was invented by those mystical people from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. It's quite convenient."
Ye Kang immediately released his true energy, and sure enough, scrolls of words appeared in the jade tablet.
The first line reads "Xiao Gong's Exchange List".
The second line is the "Great Merit Redemption List".
Ye Kangli had made a great contribution, so he naturally slipped into the second row, where rows of treasure names were listed, each with a detailed description.
The first line is the category of treasures.
These are "Cultivation Techniques", "Martial Arts", "Divine Weapons", "Essence", "Treasure Plants", "Vehicles", and "Cultivation Secret Realms".
Categorized into categories, these are all the best things that martial artists need most.
That's so professional!
Everything else was simple and easy to understand, but Ye Kang was really curious about this cultivation secret realm, so he used his true energy to delve into it and took the lead in examining it.
