I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 898 Despicable villain, stealing again

"That was close, we almost got caught. I didn't expect to slip up after lying in wait for so long. But these guys are really interesting."

In a certain forest, Kou Wuji, who had used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels), emerged from the soil and took a moment to catch his breath.

"Especially that kid who set up the formation, if I heard correctly, his name is Ye Kang? Although I've never heard of him, he's obviously more terrifying than Pang Jinchui. If we can make use of him, he might actually surpass those great geniuses."

Kou Wuji stroked his chin, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

Countless schemes had already surfaced in his seemingly harmless eyes.

This is his method, and the key to his ability to conquer Wu Ri City.

In terms of strength, he may not be the strongest, but in terms of wisdom, no one can surpass him.

"This kind of guy won't take the bait easily, so we need to make a big fuss to force him to come. It seems they're looking for the Fortune Pearl, right?"

Kou Wuji didn't really escape cleanly and decisively; in fact, the secret technique he cultivated was extremely suitable for spying.

Although he pretended to leave, he had actually left behind a puppet clone that could not be seen, which was monitoring the three people's movements from a distance.

Of course, I could only get a general look at the puppet; I didn't dare to look closely.

Kou Wuji's judgment was not entirely based on this point.

The main reason is that he was the first to discover the Three-Eyed Tiger King; he had been lying in wait for a long time before Ye Kang and the other two arrived.

Therefore, he was certain that the three men's initial target was definitely not the tiger.

It was the lake that the Tiger King occupied.

The demons in the lake had long been eaten by the Tiger King; the only thing that could attract them was the Fortune Pearl.

Kou Wuji's lips curled into a smile: "It's a pity I don't like this stuff. It's too heavy on fortune and prosperity, which might not be a good thing for a stealthy person like me. It's too easy for me to be predicted by the heavens. But since they want it, I happen to know where to get it."

A plan was immediately formed, and Kou Wuji instantly transformed into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Ye Kang and his two companions had already found what they were looking for at the bottom of the cliff.

There was a lake at the bottom of the cliff, but it was occupied by the Tiger King. Now that there was no obstruction, Ye Kang used water escape to go down and quickly refined three Fortune and Prosperity Pearls.

He kept it for himself first, tricking the system out of three million enlightenment points, before distributing one to each person.

With his remaining comprehension reaching three million, enough for him to break through again, he didn't need to rush. He planned to consolidate his strength for a few days first.

The Fortune Pearl he obtained was directly integrated into the Black Jade Realm. The effect was not obvious, but Ye Kang could still feel that the small world was becoming more and more perfect.

More and more good fortune is coming his way, which makes him feel very good.

If things continue like this, perhaps I can turn myself into a man-made beneficiary of good fortune?

Ye Kang couldn't help but laugh, while Luo Xue was very uneasy.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, I contributed the least, yet you still gave me a Fortune Pearl. I feel unworthy of it…”

Ye Kang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. You were just fighting the Tiger King to the death, so you should take one. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Pang?"

Ye Kang looked at Pang Jinchui, who nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"This... Thank you both so much! I, Luo Xue, will never forget your kindness. After the Dharma Assembly ends, the Luo family will treat you both as honored guests and will definitely repay you!"

"That would be disrespectful."

Ye Kang cupped his hands in greeting and accepted Luo Xue's gratitude with great composure.

He wasn't really kind-hearted; it was mainly because of the Luo family.

After all, he was new to Wudu and unfamiliar with the place, and he needed more connections in order to help Su Zhongjing.

With the Luo family's strong support, things will be easier to accomplish.

As expected, Luo Xue was immediately grateful to Ye Kang and regarded the two of them as close friends.

Ye Kang stopped the topic and said, "Alright, we can go to the next place now. This Hun Tian Na Fu Yi is really useful. It's like having a third eye when you use it to find good fortune."

He took out the Hun Tian Na Fu Yi (a magical instrument for receiving blessings), activated his true energy, and the pointer on the Hun Tian Yi quickly turned to another place.

Luo Xue also said, "After all, it is the Zhong family's most treasured possession, and it is a famous treasure in Wudu. If you don't return it, the Zhong family will definitely skin you alive."

At this point, Luo Xue recalled how Zhong Ming had abandoned her without any regard for morality, and she was immediately filled with rage.

Without saying another word, the three immediately flew towards their next destination.

The blessed land was vast, and the three people's flying speed was suppressed by the rules of the blessed land, so it would take some time to reach their destination.

Having flown only halfway, a sudden surge of violent true energy appeared ahead.

The three stopped abruptly, concealing their presence, and slowly approached.

Countless flames rose up ahead, turning the entire mountain into a sea of ​​fire, and in the center of the fire, a small house stood on the mountaintop.

"This is... a safe house?"

That's right, there are many safe houses in the blessed land. As long as you hide inside, you can be safe for a day.

However, each safe house can only accommodate one person, and each safe house can only be used once.

This was the first safe house Ye Kang had ever encountered.

Outside the house, five people surrounded him in a fit of rage. Ye Kang recognized the leader as one of the martial artists from Wuyin City who had been tricked by them when he first arrived at the palace.

Moreover, she was the aloof woman who fought insects with Ye Kang, so she was arguably the one who suffered the most.

She exuded the aura of a sixth-level cultivator, wielding two swords, with moonlight scattering across her hair, outlining her incomparably graceful figure.

But his eyes were sharp, and a burning hatred raged in them.

As for the other four, Ye Kang had never seen three of them before, and their cultivation levels were all at the fourth or fifth stage. When he saw the last one, Ye Kang couldn't help but laugh.

Isn't that Chunmo?

It's only been a few days, and we've already met again. It seems we have quite a connection.

That's right, the last person was Chunmo, whose life-chasing sable fur was stolen by Ye Kang when they first entered the blessed land.

This guy was thrown away by Ye Kang and fled on the spot. He was lucky, though, and soon ran into the aloof woman.

Having found his leader, Chunmo immediately regained his arrogant demeanor and even found three other martial artists from Wuyin City to form a temporary team.

They besieged demons along the way, collecting many demon soul marks, and even ambushed two unlucky guys from Wu Ri City, stealing quite a few marks.

Now, the five of them together have twenty demon soul imprints, which can be said to be very efficient.

They never expected that while searching for demons, they would run into Su Hongxiu from Wuyang City.

This was truly a case of enemies meeting with intense hatred. The aloof woman already harbored resentment towards Wuyang City, and with Chunmo's instigation, she immediately took action.

Su Hongxiu was also at the sixth level, but she was outnumbered and couldn't win.

Fortunately, there was a safe house nearby, so she took the opportunity to hide inside.

She was leaning against the door frame, looking smug.

"What a pity, you almost caught me. How lucky I am that there's a house here!" Su Hongxiu played with her hair, covered her mouth, and spoke in a tone that made people want to punch her.

The aloof woman stood outside the door, raising her head arrogantly, and said with slight anger, "You surnamed Su, are all the cowards in Wuyang City this cowardly? Since you dared to set a trap to deceive us, why don't you dare to come out and fight?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hongxiu's face darkened immediately: "What high-sounding words! You can't beat us in insect fighting, so you get all worked up and say nonsensical things. You say I don't dare to come out and fight? Then don't try to bully us with numbers!"

The aloof woman sneered, "So what if I bully you? You're just unlucky to have run into me. I, Lin Muyin, will just keep you here today. Anyway, you'll be kicked out in twelve hours. There's no other safe house for you to hide in around here."

After saying that, Lin Muyin actually sat down at the doorway and stared at Su Hongxiu.

The person behind him hesitated: "Sister Muyin, if we just stay here, won't we waste the time to absorb the demon soul mark?"

Lin Muyin glanced at him and said firmly, "What are you afraid of? She has four marks on her arm. Once we catch her, I won't take any of them. I'll give them to you four to share."

"Sister Muyin has such a broad perspective, thank you very much."

The four people behind him smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

After all, there were only four marks, making it difficult to distinguish them among the five people.

Now that Lin Muyin has given it up voluntarily, there's no problem. Who wouldn't like a mark that's been given away for free?

Su Hongxiu fell silent, feeling utterly speechless.

It was just too unlucky. He had managed to get four marks by using the tactic of avoiding the strong and killing the weak, but then he ran into these guys on the way.

Especially Lin Muyin, she's like a mad dog, once she bites you, she won't let go.

If I really waited twelve hours, I knew I wouldn't be able to escape.

Then the only option is to be decisive and crush the jade talisman to be eliminated. This way, at least the four marks on the arm can be preserved, and maybe a better ranking can be achieved in the end...

Su Hongxiu was a seasoned veteran, so she naturally knew when to make a choice, and this matter was not difficult for her.

She was very unhappy about being bullied by these people who outnumbered her.

If it were only Lin Muyin, he would certainly not be afraid.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Master, why are you sighing?"

"Um???"

Su Hongxiu looked over in disbelief, and the five people outside immediately turned their gazes towards her as well.

Ye Kang and his two companions swaggered over, a faint smile playing on their lips.

Chunmo's expression instantly twisted, and she pointed at Ye Kang with extreme anger: "It's this bastard! He's the one who stole my demon-hunting treasure!"

Chunmo didn't hide anything and had already told everyone that she had been robbed.

The other four people's expressions darkened upon hearing this.

Lin Muyin, in particular, was filled with murderous intent.

That bastard won the insect-fighting match against me!

"You beast! How dare you come here on your own initiative!" Chunmo gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Muyin: "Sister Muyin, if it weren't for him stealing my demon-hunting treasure, why would we have to go through so much trouble chasing after demons?"

"No need to say more, this person is despicable, it's not surprising that he would do anything."

Lin Muyin did not make a move immediately because she saw Pang Jinchui behind Ye Kang.

This little girl from Wuyue City is famous; everyone knows she has formidable combat power and is no ordinary person who can withstand her.

Lin Muyin said with a dark face, "No wonder you dared to swagger over here, it turns out you have someone backing you up."

Ye Kang glanced at Pang Jinchui, then nodded with complete composure: "Yeah, is that not allowed?"

"you!"

Lin Muyin was furious. Shouldn't a person with any backbone immediately deny it and then take the initiative to challenge her to a duel?

This guy is so shameless and despicable for clinging to someone's coattails so naturally!

Chunmo retorted angrily, "You brat, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have someone backing you up?!"

Ye Kang said innocently, "That's right, with Miss Pang backing us up, we can really do whatever we want. You're not convinced? Want to try Miss Pang's hammer?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Jinchui picked up the huge hammer and strode out with a fierce fighting spirit.

His ferocious aura immediately made Lin Muyin and the others turn pale, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

What a joke! Although this guy is also a sixth-rank cultivator, his combat strength is so great that even a seventh-rank cultivator wouldn't dare to touch him. What would happen if he got hit by her?

Lin Muyin gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat aggrieved, and said, "This has nothing to do with you."

Ye Kang glanced at Su Hongxiu in the house and said, "This is my head student, so of course she has something to do with me."

"That's right! Kill them!"

Su Hongxiu, always eager for excitement, shouted out loud.

Lin Muyin's expression grew even uglier, and after a long while, she managed to choke out a sentence: "Fine, let's go."

"Leave? Did I say you could leave?"

"What do you mean!"

"You can leave if you want, but hand over the demon soul mark on your arm."

"what!!!"

Lin Muyin was dumbfounded; she never expected this kid to be so arrogant.

How did I go from being the robber to being robbed in the blink of an eye?

She retorted angrily, "What if I don't give it to you!"

"You won't give it? Then what's the point of talking? Please, Fellow Daoist Pang, make your move!"

Ye Kang shouted and immediately stepped aside. Pang Jinchui swung his hammer without hesitation and smashed it down fiercely.

This battle maniac had been itching to make a move for a long time, and now he swung his hammer with all his might, unleashing terrifying power.

Lin Muyin subconsciously activated her true energy, and countless protective true qi rose up. The four people behind her also made their moves at the same time, and various protective true qi merged into a defensive shield.

Bang!

The hammer slammed directly into the defensive magic shield, creating a deafening roar. The shield shattered after only three breaths, and the immense recoil caused Lin Muyin and the other four to suffer a blood rush, falling to the ground.

This attack directly shattered their protective aura; without the protection of aura for the next attack, they would likely be smashed into mincemeat.

Seeing the second hammer blow coming, Lin Muyin immediately shouted, "Wait! We'll hand it over!"

Pang Jinchui felt bored, but still reluctantly put away the hammer.

Chunmo looked bewildered and said, "Sister Muyin! This is a demon we worked so hard to kill!"

"What can I do! As long as we're still alive, we can still earn back the demon soul mark; otherwise, we're out of the game..."

Upon hearing this, Chunmo's face turned completely sour.

What kind of situation is this? I was robbed by that kid when I was alone, and now five of us are still being robbed by him. Isn't it a waste to have so many people?
