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

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly. Everyone looked in shock at the other end of the street, where a majestic and extraordinary black steed, Treading Snow, slowly approached.

On horseback, a finely dressed man with a short beard sat holding a sword.

His expression was indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he had the air of a lost and independent swordsman.

Upon seeing this face, everyone instinctively swallowed hard, unable to look directly at it.

Because this person is none other than Shen Suifeng, the strongest person in Poyang City and the Poyang City Lord who is half a step into the ninth rank.

Even the garrison commander of Xiyuan Town was rumored to be inferior to this Lord Shen.

Of course, Shen Suifeng has two other identities, both equally important.

Disciple of the Thousand Absolutes Sect.

Xiao Yuankui's brother-in-law.

As expected, Xiao Yuankui had already discussed the matter with Shen Suifeng last night to prevent the worst-case scenario from occurring.

Upon seeing Shen Suifeng, Ye Kang immediately recognized his identity and couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

His aura was concealed, his sword was hidden in his heart, and every move he made carried the true meaning of the sword. He was indeed a sword cultivator who had received the true teachings.

But Ye Kang showed no fear, and simply asked, "Who are you?"

"Shen Suifeng".

"So it's Lord Shen. I was ordered by Lord Xi Yuan to apprehend the suspect. The Xiao family deliberately harbored him, blatantly violating the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. I am honored that Lord Shen has come to help. But rest assured, Lord Shen, the person has been captured, so there is no need for you to take action."

Ye Kang smiled slightly, taking a preconceived notion and immediately slapped a big label on him.

The onlookers were stunned.

Do you want to hear what you're saying, kid?

Is he here to help you?

On the contrary, Shen Suifeng was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he laughed and said, "Interesting. When did the Qinglin Guard have such a rising star as Lord Ye? Since it is Lord Xiyuan's order, Xiao Yulang should naturally be brought to justice. There is no need to implicate others."

"Brother-in-law! My son can't go with him!"

Suddenly, the heavily injured Xiao Yuankui cried out loudly, his eyes filled with panic.

If Xiao Yulang were to be imprisoned by the Qinglin Guard, he would spill everything!

Shen Suifeng ignored him and continued, "What do you think, sir?"

Without hesitation, Ye Kang nodded and said, "The city lord is right. I apologize for disturbing you. I'll take my leave!"

Ye Kang shouted, and Han Ying and Deng Wuxie both breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, our ancestor didn't act recklessly after all. It's good to go back; we won't have to live in fear anymore.

The Azure Scale Guards began to withdraw, and Xiao Yulang was also lifted up by Deng Wuxie with one hand, screaming wildly.

"Help me! Father! Uncle! Help me!"

"I don't want to be arrested! I'm innocent!"

"You bunch of lunatics! Have you all been kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

"He's just a fisherman! Just a fisherman!!!"

……

Desperate screams echoed throughout the street, making the already heavy atmosphere even more eerie.

Xiao Yulang was arrogant yesterday, but today he was forcibly dragged back.

The Xiao family members all had dark faces, but they didn't dare to utter a single word.

Even the city lord, who was known as the strongest, could only silently watch Ye Kang's back, his sword never being drawn.

This young man surnamed Ye actually did it!

For a moment, everyone felt it was all so unreal.

Only Meng Bo burst into laughter.

"Awesome! Awesome! That's how you do it to these bastards! You're truly my brother Ye, you're like a god descended from heaven! I love you so much, hahaha!"

Meng Bo ran out arrogantly and followed directly behind the Qinglin Guard team.

After all, his father was the garrison commander of Poyang, on the same level as the city lord, and that was no exaggeration.

On the way back, to prevent Xiao Yulang from bothering him, Deng Wuxie slapped him unconscious.

Han Ying also said with relief, "Lord Ye, you were too sudden today. Luckily, Shen Suifeng held back. If he had made a move, this whole street would have been blown up."

"That's an exaggeration?" Ye Kang laughed.

Han Ying said solemnly, "It's not an exaggeration at all. You don't understand the destructive power of a great swordsman. This guy once killed the Dragon King's beloved concubine in the deep waters, almost causing the flood to reach Poyang Lake. He's just like Lord Ye, a complete madman..."

Han Ying hadn't realized that she had also cursed Ye Kang.

Ye Kang just smiled and didn't pay any attention.

The reason I didn't continue recklessly was simple: it wasn't necessary.

Firstly, Shen Suifeng was at least polite and courteous, so Ye Kang had no interest in fighting him.

Secondly, his only target was Xiao Yulang; everything else was irrelevant to him.

Continuing to intervene will only lead you into the moral trap that Xi Yuan has set for herself, making you a tool for her to exploit.

Ye Kang disliked bullying young men who relied on their power, and he also disliked the town guards who used him as a weapon.

Most importantly, the system hasn't issued any tasks yet.

If there are other tasks later, it's not too late to take action then.

……

On the other side, in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family.

Everyone gathered together, and Xiao Yuankui swallowed several pills in succession, his face full of anger as he tried to stabilize his injuries.

He examined his dantian; although it wasn't destroyed, it was severely injured and showed signs of damage.

This is tantamount to completely severing his martial arts path, making it difficult for him to make any further progress.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuankui was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Damn it! You wretched brat! How dare you insult my Xiao family like this! I will kill you!"

"Master, calm down. Healing your wounds is the priority."

A group of people quickly tried to comfort him.

Xiao Yuankui took a few deep breaths and then looked at Shen Suifeng beside him.

Why didn't you keep that kid here just now?

Shen Suifeng didn't look at him, but instead stared blankly at the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

While smelling the fragrance of the flowers, she said, "This Ye Kang is not important. What is important is that he was sent by Xi Yuan."

"what do you mean?"

“I don’t care what you’re doing with the Thousand Absolutes Sect, I have no interest in it. I’m just warning you this once: if you don’t stop now, disaster will befall you.”

"Shen Suifeng! Are you threatening me too?"

The former shook his head and said, "It's not a threat. As far as I know, there are no pirates causing trouble in the deep waters, nor are there any monsters harming people. Why do you think Xi Yuan would lead a large-scale expedition there?"

"Tch, isn't this how the Azure Scale Guard always operates?"

"I hope so. If I'm not mistaken, Xi Yuan is just waiting for someone to stand up for you. If you take the initiative to back down now, it's not too late. Otherwise, I can't protect you either."

Having said that, Shen Suifeng flicked his long sleeves and strode out.

The members of the Xiao family looked at each other, most of them completely bewildered.

What is the son-in-law saying?

Only a few high-ranking officials exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a hint of guilt.

"Master, what the son-in-law said..."

"Shut up! You're just spouting nonsense. No matter how powerful Xi Yuan is, she can't possibly be a match for those three. We have no way back now. Go to the Thousand Absolute Sect immediately and explain this to them. Tell them that if they don't save my son, I will destroy what they want!"
