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

Chapter 185 The show begins

Xi Yuan looked at Tian Ying.

"The old dragon's strength is unknown. The only way to kill him is with the help of a Grandmaster-level weapon. On this ship, you are the only one who can do that."

Tianying gave a wry smile.

"Easier said than done. Grandmaster-level weapons aren't that easy to use. Even if I use all my strength, I only have one chance. After that, I'm a cripple."

"Don't worry, I've already applied to headquarters for the secret medicine, which will ensure your cultivation level remains unaffected."

The conversation between the two left Ye Kang, who was standing to the side, completely bewildered.

Grandmaster-level warriors have all appeared!

This is really going all out!

A Grandmaster's weapon is a weapon that a Grandmaster uses as their natal weapon. When activated by a Grandmaster at the Innate Realm, it can cause exhaustion and fainting, or even instant death.

The Heavenly Eagle was specially invited to guard the area, so it's safe to assume that this warrior is also a bow.

Xi Yuan then looked at Ye Kang.

"Lord Ye, now that you're here, I'll leave Xiao Yuankui to you. Yunlong, Yunkong, and I will deal with the Three Peerless Masters. As for the other variables, Yunkuang will handle them. In addition, a few other friends will also be there to provide support."

"besides?"

Xi Yuan smiled slightly, got up and opened the side door of the room.

Ye Kang followed and entered a large hall at the stern of the ship.

Several auras lingered inside, and they were none other than a few familiar figures.

Yunhe, the head of the Heling Sect.

Gu Changlin, the sect leader of the Overlord Spear Sect.

The leader of the Flying Clouds Sect, Fairy Longyue.

They are all acquaintances.

Even Gu Lingwei was following behind Gu Changlin, probably brought along to broaden her horizons. She will most likely stay on the ship and won't be involved in any attacks.

Gu Lingwei was still dressed in the same light gold robe as in the secret realm, with a spear taller than herself on her back, and her face was full of heroic spirit.

Even his cultivation level has improved; he has actually broken through to the sixth rank of the Innate Realm.

It must be because of those four Green Thunder Bamboos. Sure enough, those things are far more beneficial to martial artists who cultivate thunder magic than other precious plants.

Besides these, there were several experts at the eighth rank of the middle realm, who should be from other small sects.

I never expected that these people would also be driven by the kite.

Xi Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Ye, these are all experts from sects in the Poyang Great Swamp. Once the Thousand Absolute Sect grows powerful and the Flood Dragon Lord emerges from the water, they will be the first to be affected. Therefore, they will also take action to ensure that no one can escape in the chaos."

"I see," Ye Kang said, cupping his hands in greeting to the martial artists.

When Gu Lingwei saw Ye Kang, she felt inexplicably familiar with him, but couldn't remember where she had seen him before, and her expression was slightly strange.

Ye Kang smiled politely at him, then left the cabin.

Gu Changlin noticed his daughter's unusual behavior and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"No... This Lord Ye is so young... I think he's been to the secret realm before?"

“Strength and cultivation are not judged by age.”

"Yes, Father..."

A hint of melancholy lingered in Gu Lingwei's eyes. She had once seen a person of extraordinary talent and brilliance.

Although that person spoke recklessly and acted frivolously, he was ultimately not someone one could dislike. It's just a pity that he died in the secret realm...

On the other side, Ye Kang and Xi Yuan arrived at the stern of the ship, where Steward Lu Qi and a group of masked men were setting something up.

Upon seeing Ye Kang, Lu Qi said happily, "Lord Ye is back! That's wonderful! This time, our chances of success will be ten times greater."

"Steward Lu, what are you doing?" Ye Kang asked curiously.

"Hahaha, Lord Ye, you're making a fuss over nothing. We're setting up a fog array, developed by the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. It can generate a thick fog to conceal the entire warship and even block the detection of auras below the ninth rank."

"so smart!"

"Of course. We've been preparing for this attack for a long time, with strong support from headquarters. We certainly won't skimp on a mere formation."

"But why don't we just charge straight in? Why go through all this trouble?"

"Lord Ye is joking. It would be easy to charge in, but behind the Thousand Absolutes Sect lies an endless deep water zone. If the Three Peerless Masters want to escape, who can catch them? So we need to use a little trick to keep them in check."

Lu Qi looked mysterious.

Ye Kang was too lazy to interfere. He was just a henchman, fulfilling his duties.

After all, they came to Qinglin Guard to learn, so making some contributions would make their trip worthwhile.

Unlike Lu Qi, Xi Yuan didn't put on airs. She said directly, "Jiao Jun is still in the deep waters. He won't make a move until the very last moment. So this play has to go on. The Three Peerless Masters are not important. What's important is whether they can lure out Jiao Jun."

Ye Kang nodded and then asked his last question.

"Do demons really care about the life or death of the Thousand Absolute Sect?"

Xi Yuan didn't answer immediately, but calmly gazed at the sea and said, "That depends on how strong this old thing's desire to prolong his life is..."

……

Daze Deep Water Area.

A merchant ship, entirely black and without any flags or markings, sped across the water.

Xiao Yuankui and several high-ranking family members walked off the deck.

They were all wearing hooded capes, concealing themselves completely, but even so, they all seemed preoccupied.

Someone asked worriedly, "Master, won't that bitch Xi Yuan catch up with us?"

Someone immediately retorted, "Nonsense! We went out at night, using the furthest dock. How could the Azure Scale Guards have known?"

"No, that's not it. I just feel like things have gone a little too smoothly..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuankui waved his hand.

"Further words are useless. This time, we must get the Thousand Absolutes Sect to take action and force Xi Yuan to release my son. If the Three Peerless Masters still hesitate, we'll fight to the death. My Xiao family isn't without backup plans!"

Xiao Yuankui gritted his teeth, his face full of hatred.

Xiao Yulang is still being tortured in prison, and his father is completely helpless.

When contacted, the person from the Thousand Absolutes Sect only said one thing: "Don't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains."

I've lost you, my immortal Beibei!

That's my own son!

Enraged, Xiao Yuankui finally decided to take matters into his own hands, using the alchemy materials as leverage to force the Three Peerless Masters to coerce Xi Yuan.

He wasn't worried about his safety either, as the Three Kingdoms would never lay a hand on him.

Not only because he controlled the alchemy materials, but also because if something happened to him, his disobedient brother-in-law would definitely wipe out the Thousand Absolute Sect.

Therefore, he was very bold and was prepared to confront the three peerless masters.

Just then, on the calm water ahead, a figure slowly strolled across it, her sleeves flowing like silk, her figure graceful and elegant, her every move seemingly blending into the water.

The expressions of the Xiao family members gradually changed from surprise to horror.

"It's a kite!"

"Damn it! How did he find us!"

"Run!!!"

……

In the distance, on the Azure Scale Guard warships shrouded in mist.

Ye Kang, Yun Kuang, and the others stood on the deck, watching this scene with their exceptional eyesight.

Yun Kuang smiled faintly and said, "The show is about to begin."
