Kang Shin-mu sensed Xia Yueyin's departure, but he did not relax.
He looked out of the window of the inn and could see Xia Yueyin leading Meng Tianxing, Zang Xijian, and the others away. A cold look appeared in his eyes. He knew that this group of people would not leave the matter at that.
"I don't know what they are going to do, but they will most likely frame me and find so-called 'evidence.'
The most likely is to forge evidence of my contact with the Northern Chill Dragon Country to frame me for colluding with the Northern Chill Dragon Country to frame and kill his brother, Xia Lie. "
Kang Shin-mu thought deeply about what he would do if he were in Xia Yueyin's position, so he came to this conclusion.
It would not be difficult for Xia Yueyin to frame someone for colluding with the Northern Chill Dragon Country. If he waited until Xia Yueyin had arranged everything and came to him, Kang Shin-mu would have no way out.
The other party would definitely have arranged everything and would not give Kang Shin-mu any chance to refute!
"I have to make the first move, but I am still too weak. I am not Xia Lie's match."
Kang Shin-mu was expressionless as he thought about something. He quickly made a decision and prepared to leave Dragon Ice City.
Naturally, he was careful not to be discovered by anyone. He only left a note for Xi Yuying and Jiang Liuxue, saying that he would be leaving for seven days. Then, he went to a secluded place near the Dragon Ice Canyon and took out the blood-red dragon scale that belonged to the Heaven Opening Demonic Dragon.
He planned to take advantage of this time to raise his cultivation level. Otherwise, he would not be confident of defeating Xia Yueyin, and he would not be able to make the first move to deal with Xia Yueyin.
He would definitely be discovered when he left Dragon Ice City, but he would not be able to find Kang Shin-mu's whereabouts.
Soon, Qi Tian appeared from the space-time gate and brought Kang Shin-mu back to the Heaven Opening Demon Realm from the Dragon Ice Canyon.
"Master, you've returned in less than a month. What's the reason for that?"
Qi Tian transformed into his human form and respectfully bowed to Kang Shin-mu.
He could still sense the Black Dragon's consciousness in Kang Shin-mu's body, and he could sense that the Black Dragon's consciousness seemed to be clearer than before. This powerful existence seemed to be accumulating and recovering power in Kang Shin-mu's body, waiting for the day when it would rise again.
"How many precious materials have you prepared over the past ten days? Bring them all to me. I need to absorb them and use them to advance my cultivation level."
Kang Shin-mu's eyes were indifferent, and Qi Tian couldn't see anything.
Qi Tian looked at him, wanting to find something in his eyes. Unfortunately, Kang Shin-mu's eyes were so clear that he couldn't see anything. He couldn't help being a bit startled. Even if this brat didn't have the Black Dragon's will in his body, he still wasn't an ordinary person. He was actually able to hide his own thoughts and emotions in front of him.
"Yes, my lord."
Qi Tian bowed and answered. Then he turned around and took out all the precious materials he had obtained during this period of time.
Kang Shin-mu stayed in a palace in the Heaven Opening Demon Realm, absorbing the precious materials. These precious materials were collected by Qi Tian during this period of time. The quantity was less than before. He thought that it would be a bit difficult for him to break through to the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm, so he let Qi Tian continue to search for them.
No demonic beast dared to disturb him in the palace of the Heaven Opening Demon Realm.
One by one, the treasures were completely devoured by his devouring power into his body and turned into the power of his bloodline!
If these precious materials were refined into elixirs and then consumed, the improvement would definitely be greater. However, Kang Shin-mu didn't have the time to refine these precious materials into elixirs.
Moreover, he had the devouring power. With this kind of talent, he could completely devour the energy contained in these precious materials without wasting a single bit.
Even if others refined Heaven and Earth treasures into elixirs, the final absorption effect would not be as good as Jiang Shenwu directly devouring these Heaven and Earth treasures.
Therefore, with just these few precious materials, Kang Shin-mu easily rose to the peak of the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm!
Unfortunately, after Qi Tian summoned another heavenly treasure for him, he stood guard outside the palace and told him that the nearby heavenly treasures had all been harvested recently. Even in the Heaven Awakening Demon Realm, where there were no dragon martial artists, if one wanted to obtain more heavenly treasures, they had to go further, to the periphery of the Heaven Awakening Demon Realm.
The periphery of the Heaven Opening Demon Realm was relatively far from here. If he didn't consume energy to condense a Space-Time Gate, it would waste a lot of time.
In this regard, Kang Shin-mu also shook his head and didn't force Qi Tian.
Anyway, he was now at the peak of the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm, just a little bit more and he could break through to the eighth level. This little bit could be used to forcibly break through after devouring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
But it could also be comprehensions in battle, such as fighting with life and death, and so on.
For Kang Shin-mu, time was of the essence now. It was enough to reach the peak of the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm.
"Okay, send me back."
Kang Shin-mu didn't make things difficult for Qi Tian and let him directly send him back.
Then, Kang Shin-mu appeared alone in the Dragon Ice Canyon.
When he left the Dragon Ice City, he had accepted a Demon Hunter mission from the Demon Hunters Association. At this moment, he stepped into the Dragon Ice Canyon and killed a few demonic beasts. He took their Demon Cores to prove that he had been hunting demonic beasts in the Dragon Ice Canyon for the past few days.
Then, he returned to Dragon Ice City, and after returning to the Demon Hunters Association to submit the mission, he went straight to the place where the Fire Dragon Army was!
The Fire Dragon Army was now stationed in Dragon Ice City, and they specialized in handling the disputes between the dragon warriors who came to participate in the war. Therefore, Kang Shin-mu struck first to gain the upper hand. He wanted to expose Xia Lie's crime of bringing people to kill him.
When Kang Shin-mu returned to Dragon Ice City, he didn't find any trace of Xia Yueyin.
After he successfully cultivated the Mysterious Dragon Seeking Shadow, he had already memorized Xia Yueyin's scent. He found that Xia Yueyin should have brought others away from Dragon Ice City during this period of time, and he didn't know what method they had thought of to deal with him.
However, Kang Shin-mu didn't care too much. Now that he struck first, he could completely kill the other party's idea in the cradle.
"Xia Family Residence, since you want to lay your hands on me, then prepare to be destroyed!"
Kang Shin-mu had already stepped into the Fire Dragon Army and submitted an application for investigation. Soon, he met one of the people in charge of the Fire Dragon Army's affairs in Dragon Ice City.
