112: I have seen the real king, so I pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
“Cough cough…”
“Brother Qi, I’ll go with you too! If you need help then, please don’t hesitate to ask!” Zhou Pang said with a smile, patting his chest, but inwardly he was crying out!
I don’t want to go!
I want to follow True King Jiang and enjoy a life of luxury!
But he didn’t dare to say that, instead, he turned to look at the Gnu.
His eyes were teary, full of reluctance!
“Brother Golden Horn, I’m leaving. After today’s farewell, I wonder when we’ll meet again?”
“Neigh…”
The Gnu also looked reluctant, raising its hoof and placing it on him.
What a good pet!
What a pity!
“Do you want to go too?” Jiang Yi patted the Gnu’s head!
“Neigh…”
Upon hearing that, the Gnu immediately shook its head!
What a joke?
Isn’t it better to follow its master and enjoy a life of luxury?
Hmph!
This mere human pet is not worth keeping!
The reluctance in its eyes quickly vanished.
Replaced by a look of aloofness and wariness!
The front hoof resting on him was also withdrawn!
It immediately performed a—
Flipping out and disowning someone!
Who are you? Does this Great King know you?
“…”
Zhou Pang opened his mouth, unsure what to say for a moment!
The ship of friendship sank just like that!
He felt as if his heart had been hit by tens of thousands of critical strikes.
Ultimately, it turned into one phrase—
Damn, heartless!
Eventually, both parties reached the time to part ways.
Jiang Yi rode the Gnu, escorting Qi Zhengyi and the others to the outside of Hong City’s gate.
Awed by his prestige!
None of the people from those forces dared to enter the city; they only dared to encamp outside the city.
Looking out!
Shadowy figures abounded, craning their necks in anticipation!
Outside the city, dozens of camps were set up, constantly monitoring the movements within the city.
As soon as he, the True King, left, they would transform into a swarm of fish crossing the river!
All rushing into Hong City.
When Jiang Yi and his group left the city!
The people from the various forces present all turned their gazes towards them in unison.
Some were surprised, some were wary… and there were also some people!
Upon seeing Zhou Pang and the others carrying large and small bags, their eyes became fervent, filled with greed.
This made Zhou Pang and the others involuntarily tense up!
“Hoo hoo…”
The Gnu, however, was very displeased!
Snorting!
Its horse eyes widened, and it swept its gaze across all directions, carrying a strong warning.
What do these human figures mean?
Why are they staring at the cloth bags on its chest?
Jiang Yi raised his head, his calm gaze sweeping over them.
Just a wisp of the True King’s pressure was revealed!
Sweeping across the scene, suppressing all directions!
“Swish swish swish!”
Everyone’s expressions changed, their faces turning extremely pale, their entire bodies trembling.
“Thump thump” a rusty sound!
Everyone present, in unison, prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to raise their heads in the slightest.
“We… we greet the True King!”
Someone shouted, though it was unclear who!
Immediately after!
A clear and incomparably respectful chorus rang out, echoing through the clouds, shaking heaven and earth!
“WE! GREET! THE! TRUE! KING!”
Jiang Yi did not respond, but looked at Zhou Pang and the others, signaling them to leave first.
With him here!
These people naturally wouldn’t dare to harbor any ill intentions, let alone make a move.
But if he weren’t here!
It was inevitable that some greedy and desperate individuals would appear.
“Then, Your Excellency True King Jiang, we bid you farewell!”
“Your Excellency, we’ll meet again!”
“Brother Jiang… take care!”
“…Take care!”
“Neigh…”
Zhou Pang and the others also knew the value of time!
After cupping their hands towards Jiang Yi, they said no more and quickly departed… Jiang Yi stood still!
He quietly watched them leave until their figures disappeared from sight.
Only then did he pat the Gnu’s head!
Flipping onto its back!
“We should also set off!”
“Neigh…”
The Gnu raised its head and let out a long neigh, as if sounding the horn of advance.
Its hooves moved, and dirt and stones flew!
The ground beneath its feet cracked, and heaven and earth trembled.
The crowd present listened to the rumbling sound, becoming even more awestruck, their heads bowed even lower!
After a long while!
Until the sound gradually faded into the distance, and heaven and earth returned to peace.
Only then did someone dare to raise their head!
The next moment!
The crowd present completely erupted, turning into a human torrent with a thunderous roar.
Rushing into Hong City all at once!
“Charge! Hong City is right before us!”
“Don’t push, don’t push!”
“I’m from the Iron Sect Head, all of you… quickly get out of my way!”
“I come from Spring Cicada Valley, those who block me die!”
“Opportunity, my Opportunity!”
“Kill!!!”
…The Gnu galloped along the main road!
Like a magnificent golden streak, it pierced through mountains and great peaks, traversing a thousand miles.
If one looked down from the sky, mountain ranges were scattered, and vast forests were numerous.
In the intertwining mountains, in various flatlands and low valleys, villages and towns were built.
In larger plains!
Only then were there medium to large cities like Yunyan and Hong City!
Of course, there were also some Sects and religious groups!
Who disliked the hustle and bustle of the human world!
They sought out ancient peaks and majestic mountains rich in Spiritual Qi, or those containing mineral deposits.
As their blessed lands, they then established Sects and built their mountain gates.
Jiang Yi rode the Gnu!
Along the way, he would occasionally pass through towns and villages, watching the curling smoke rise!
Or, he would pass through mountains, rivers, and lakes, appreciating the natural wonders.
His heart!
Began to slowly calm down!
Interacting with heaven and earth, gaining insights in the human world, slowly integrating into this world.
Becoming a part of it.
His strength had improved too quickly!
In just a few short months, he had grown from an ant to a towering tree.
From a Mine Slave who dug ore!
His status was humble, like dust!
To stepping onto the pinnacle of martial arts in one fell swoop!
Becoming a True King and an ancestor, dominating the world!
This gave Jiang Yi a strange sense of absurdity, as if he was out of place with this world.
He was like a passerby, both outside and inside the world.
Busy and hurried!
Or perhaps!
He treated this as a game, constantly fighting monsters, leveling up, and clearing stages… Besides finding enemies, confronting them, and killing them, it was simulating Cultivation and improving!
Moreover, he always had a goal in his heart!
There were short-term ones and long-term ones.
He had them in the past, and he has them now!
For some reason!
He recalled a saying from his previous life—
I’ve fought wars my entire life, can’t I enjoy myself now?
Anyway!
The next ancient great city, the top force, was still tens of thousands of miles away!
Perhaps, he should give himself a vacation!
In his previous life!
He dreamed of becoming a great hero, highly skilled in martial arts, living a carefree Jianghu life, punishing evil and promoting good, respected by all!
Now!
He had martial arts, and he had successfully Cultivated; in terms of martial prowess, he was absolutely highly skilled!
So now… shouldn’t it be time to live a carefree life?
Let’s have a—
Entering the Jianghu, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
Hahaha… Ride the fastest horse, drink the strongest wine, play with the most beautiful women, kill the most ruthless enemies!
