Chapter 1690: Chapter 1690: Beaten Black and Blue, Returning Home Like a Pig
"Hmm, I understand." Hearing him say that, Mu Hanyan remembered that Fen Qianji’s defensive power and self-healing ability were exceptionally strong. It might just be related to the martial arts technique he mentioned. Mu Hanyan was quite interested in this skill that honed the muscles and cultivated strength.
"By the way, what’s going on with the Kang Family?" Mu Hanyan suddenly asked. Although she did not take Kang Zihe seriously, she would not completely ignore the Kang Family as a potential enemy.
Caution never hurts, especially since this is the Divine Continent, not the territory where she was the spoiled young lady of the Mu Family.
"Isn’t it all for Sunrise Peak." Ye Yi’an smiled bitterly, then continued, "The Kang Family used to be like the Mu Family, drifting around without roots like Fu Ping. A thousand years ago, just as I became the Guardian Priest of the Mu Family, the Kang Family’s ancestor also became a priest and gained their own fief. However, the descendants of the Kang Family had good aptitude, and after Kang Qingyuan, several priests emerged. Not only do they have large fiefs, but they also have a place in Tianfeng City.
Both the Kang Family and the Mu Family used to drift around without support, and since the ancestors from both families became Temple Priests at the same time, the two families originally lived in harmony, not interfering with each other. But three years ago, the current Kang Family Master, Kang Qingyuan, suddenly took a liking to Sunrise Peak for some unknown reason and wanted the Mu Family to give it to them.
Although Sunrise Peak is not particularly famous, it does often produce some strange flowers and herbs. The Mu Family owes its current prosperity to Sunrise Peak and naturally refused to hand it over, leading to a feud between the two families."
"Just for that?" Mu Hanyan found it a bit strange. Judging by Ye Yi’an’s words, while Sunrise Peak sometimes produces some strange flowers and herbs, it is hardly a Cave Heaven Blessed Land. The Kang Family, being so prosperous now, shouldn’t be making such a fuss over small profits.
"I find it strange too. With the Kang Family’s current wealth, why would they covet a small Sunrise Peak? So I specifically went to check several times but found nothing." Ye Yi’an appeared to have also thought of this and spoke with some curiosity.
Mu Hanyan’s eyes unintentionally sparkled with little stars. Just because Ye Yi’an found nothing doesn’t mean there’s nothing there. The fact that the Kang Family is so enthralled indicates that Sunrise Peak may very well be hiding something valuable.
If you think about it, her cultivation has actually been more difficult than most people’s. The reason she was able to rise from a mere Swordman First Rank to the Great Sword Master Peak in just a few years was because of various fortuitous encounters. Although she faced many risks and even life-and-death trials, on the whole, she gained more, and as they say, fortune favors the bold.
Her heart was concerned about Mu Hanfeng and Huayue, who were adrift in the Void, and Ye Lanfeng, whose whereabouts were unknown, and her grandmother, who was in dire straits for her sake, as well as her family and friends on the Holy Court Continent. She certainly didn’t want to improve her strength by inching along step by step.
"You actually haven’t fully adapted to the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent yet. Once you learn the Divine Hall Secret Technique, I’ll take you to have a look." Seeing what Mu Hanyan was thinking, Ye Yi’an directly dismissed her notion.
"I also don’t feel that the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent is anything unusual." Mu Hanyan finally couldn’t help but say.
"You’ll find out once you leave Mu Family Village. The Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent is not that simple. For most people, Sunrise Peak is a little forbidden area. If, like me at that time, you were heavily injured and without cultivation, it would be another matter, but the higher the cultivation, the harder it is to cope." Ye Yi’an said seriously.
Hearing him speak so seriously, Mu Hanyan did not persist. As for the differences in the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent, she knew she would eventually experience them firsthand.
Afterward, Ye Yi’an began to tell Mu Hanyan about some of the customs and taboos of the Divine Continent, so she wouldn’t inadvertently reveal anything.
It was impossible for him to tell Mu Hanyan all the experiences and insights of the millennium at once, so in the days that followed, Mu Hanyan continued learning about the Divine Continent from Ye Yi’an while practicing martial arts with Mu Tu.
Meanwhile, in an ancient courtyard in Tianfeng City, a thousand miles away from Mu Family Village, an old man looked angrily at Kang Zihe lying on the sickbed.
"Who, who exactly injured you like this?" the old man roared angrily.
He was Kang Zihe’s grandfather, Kang Family Master Kang Qingyuan.
"It was some little girl named Mu Hanyan. According to that old bastard Mu Yi’an, she’s a natural Divine Priest. I wanted to test her strength and underestimated her, which allowed her to injure me like this." Kang Zihe said pitifully, with his swollen, colorful face.
He naturally assumed Mu Hanyan was from the Mu Family as their names sound the same.
"A natural Divine Priest!" Kang Qingyuan was shocked.
He had already decided to seize Sunrise Peak from the Mu Family. If the Mu Family really had a natural Divine Priest, this matter would not be easy.
"Are you sure she is a natural Divine Priest?" Kang Qingyuan steadied himself and asked.
"I’m not entirely sure, but when she attacked, she did use the Fire Manipulation Divine Skill." Kang Zihe said uncertainly.
He had been sent sprawling with the first move by Mu Hanyan and turned into a pig-headed figure, crying in pain upon his return. He hardly had time to think about it.
"The Fire Control Technique could hurt you this badly?" Kang Qingyuan looked at his injuries and asked doubtfully. His severely broken bones hardly seemed the result of the Fire Control Technique.
"Her first move was the Fire Manipulation Divine Skill, then it was punches and kicks, probably martial arts technique." Kang Zihe explained.
"Martial arts technique, a natural Divine Priest cultivating martial arts, are you a pigheaded fool?" Kang Qingyuan pointed at Kang Zihe’s nose, scolding in exasperation.
You see, the martial arts technique hones the muscles, but the strength improvement is very slow. Many people practice it for a lifetime but have no power in a fight against an average priest. So anyone who has the chance to become a Temple Priest wouldn’t waste time on it, let alone a natural Divine Priest.
"Oh, well, I don’t know what’s going on then, but her first move was definitely the Fire Control Technique." Kang Zihe looked at the copper mirror across from the sickbed; wasn’t that a pigheaded figure indeed?
"Are you certain her first move was really the Fire Manipulation Divine Skill, did you see it clearly?" Kang Qingyuan pondered for a moment and asked.
"Absolutely sure." Kang Zihe confirmed, even if he was beaten into a pighead, he remembered this very clearly.
"There’s no reason; if she really is a natural Divine Priest, there’s no reason for her to cultivate martial arts. But if she’s not, where did the Fire Manipulation Divine Skill come from?" Kang Qingyuan was a bit puzzled.
