Beneath the blazing sun, all that remained was a handful of ashes and a longsword.
Jiang Changkong put away his sword, his expression calm. "You should give me the Star Stones now."
"Here. What a young prodigy... These old bones truly can't compare." Yun Tianshan sighed and handed over the ring. "May I take the ashes back?"
Jiang Changkong accepted the ring. The previous greasy sensation was gone, but the Star Stones were genuine. "Help yourself."
"Thank you." Yun Tianshan gathered the ashes and turned to leave.
Jiang Changkong put away the Star Stones and turned to go.
The watching martial artists gave him complicated looks, deeply shaken by those two strikes just now.
No one said anything. They simply turned and left.
Jiang Changkong did not call out to anyone either. There was not a single person in Stability Province worth fighting. He had taken the Star Stones, so he would leave directly.
"Changkong, I'm on your side." An Dingbang ran over. "Don't take what Lin Yunwang said just now seriously."
"I know. It has nothing to do with you," Jiang Changkong said blandly.
A president still needed to save face. After being robbed, would he really go around telling everyone?
Most likely, someone from the Martial Arts Association had spread the news, and Lin Yunwang had learned of it.
"Congratulations, Brother Changkong. I knew you could settle it easily." Li Changtian changed his tone right in front of him.
"Congratulations." Heng Yongxing approached with a smile, then froze. "You're injured?"
"No..." Jiang Changkong had barely opened his mouth when he spat out a mouthful of golden blood. Blood was also seeping from his nose at some point.
"What's going on?" An Dingbang's expression changed. "You're really injured? Were you forcing yourself to hold on just now?"
