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

"To kill someone just because you've taken a seat, you're being far too domineering."

Ye Kang's expression suddenly turned cold, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

Wang Hai glanced at Ye Kang, his face expressionless.

"I don't talk to dead people."

The next second, Wang Hai swung his broadsword, unleashing a powerful blade of energy that slashed towards Ye Kang.

Many people closed their eyes.

If Wang Hai strikes with all his might, that person will surely die.

Just as the blade energy approached Ye Kang, Ye Kang moved.

He raised the scabbard, poured in powerful true energy, and easily deflected the blade energy. At the same time, he flicked the scabbard downwards, and it flew out with a sound.

The heavy scabbard, like a sharp arrow, pierced Wang Hai's chest with a whoosh.

【Ding】

...

Wang Hai was still in the posture of swinging his knife, completely unaware of what had happened.

He looked down in disbelief.

A huge bloody hole had appeared in his heart, and his heart was nowhere to be found.

His eyes rolled back, and he died instantly.

"Elder Wang!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining men in straw hats shouted and drew their swords.

Ye Kang didn't waste any words; the moment he drew his sword, they were already dead.

The sword energy of a hundred flowers shot out, and more than a dozen bright red heads flew high into the air, spraying out a ring of blood.

In just a few breaths, the domineering Wang Hai and more than a dozen Golden Saber Sect disciples were all decapitated.

At this moment, the entire God of Wealth Inn fell into an eerie silence.

The handsome young man was already pale with fright, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

What just happened!

This person killed Wang Hai without even moving!

What kind of martial art is this?!

Jin Baobei, the proprietress of the Fortune Inn, originally wanted to stop the fight between the two, but before she could say a word, it was over.

She reacted quickly, immediately kneeling on the ground and raising the Xunfeng Zhenlei Blade.

She said respectfully, "I was unaware that you were here, senior. I have been disrespectful. If you do not mind, I would like to present this knife to you!"

At this moment, all the martial artists lowered their heads, not daring to have any further thoughts.

Many of them were extremely relieved.

That was close! I almost couldn't resist bullying this new face, thank goodness I didn't...

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang smiled dismissively.

"I'm not interested in this knife. Boss lady, tell me something, and I'll leave immediately."

Jinbaobei immediately threw away the knife and revealed a fawning smile.

“Senior has come to the right person. In the martial arts world of Mengzhou, there is no information that I, Jin Baobei, cannot obtain. Please feel free to ask me.”

Ye Kang stood up, put his hands behind his back, and exuded an air of superiority.

"Where is the Ninth Princess of the Great Jin Dynasty now?"

Jin Baobei pondered for a moment and said, "The Ninth Princess has been in Mengzhou for half a year and has been staying in the Imperial Father-in-law's Mansion in the main city of Mengzhou. However, there are rumors that someone has offered a huge reward for the Ninth Princess."

"What! Who put the bounty on it?"

Ye Kang was startled.

The Ninth Princess cannot die; I'm counting on her to get promoted and make a fortune.

We can't afford to lose this hard-earned position.

Jinbaobei looked at Wang Hai's corpse.

"We don't know exactly who it was, but the news came from the Golden Knife Sect."

It seems we killed him too early; we should have spared one life.

Ye Kang thought for a moment, then took out a silver note from his pocket.

“The landlady is well-informed. I’m new to Mengzhou and need a local guide. I’ll pay you 1,000 taels for half a month.”

Jinbaobei took the silver note, a bitter smile on her face, wishing she could slap herself.

Why did you have to say that extra bit?

It's over now.

She dared not take the money!

"Senior, the martial world of Mengzhou is extremely complex. My strength is too weak, and I fear I might hinder your important matters!"

"A top-tier expert, their strength is considerable, and you still want more money?"

Ye Kang didn't waste any words with her. He unleashed his Hundred Flowers Sword Qi and placed it directly against Jin Baobei's neck.

"Senior, spare my life! Let me change my clothes and leave with you immediately!"

"That's pretty much it."

Ye Kang sat down and calmly began to drink his tea.

The remaining martial artists dared not utter a word and could only sit down awkwardly.

Many people had their doubts.

It turns out that Boss Jin was actually a top-notch expert.

This woman was very good at hiding her true nature. No wonder all those lecherous thieves who coveted her beauty disappeared. It seems she chopped them up.

However, that unfamiliar face could see through Jinbaobei's true strength at a glance. What level must he be at?

Could it be... something innate?

Many people felt their legs go weak and wished they could become invisible.

The God of Wealth Inn is terrifying; it's attracted even innate masters. I'll never come here again.

Many people guessed Ye Kang's strength, and Jin Baobei naturally guessed it as well.

She knew how terrifying a master of innate cultivation could be, so she dared not entertain any thoughts whatsoever.

He had no choice but to obediently change into a light blue outfit, cover his face with a veil, and put on a bamboo hat before reluctantly coming out.

Just as Ye Kang was about to leave, the elegant young man suddenly mustered up his courage and spoke.

"Senior! I am Liu Mingkong from the Liu family of Mengzhou. I apologize for my earlier offense. Here are two thousand taels of silver notes. Please accept them!"

Liu Mingkong took out two silver notes and placed them on the table very respectfully.

This is his apology.

After all, he clearly knew that was Wang Hai's seat, but he didn't say anything, which clearly showed that he was just watching the show.

If Ye Kang were serious, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to cut him down with a single blow.

Ye Kang thought to himself that he was very sensible, and with a flick of his wrist, the silver note fell into his hand.

I just spent one bill and got two back. I didn't lose money, I actually made a profit.

"Liu Mingkong, is it? I'll remember you. Be more discreet in the future. One maid is enough."

"Senior taught me a lesson."

Liu Mingkong breathed a sigh of relief.

Money is nothing to him; if he could befriend a master of innate talent, that would be a huge win.

Ye Kang then stopped lingering.

The two men and two horses traveled along the official road.

Only then did the martial artists in the God of Wealth Inn finally breathe a sigh of relief and scatter like birds and beasts, afraid that they hadn't run fast enough.

Meanwhile, news of Wang Hai's murder spread rapidly.

……

Within the Golden Saber Sect.

Several elders gathered together, each with an unfriendly expression.

One of them, with red hair and a red beard, spoke with extreme rage: "How dare they! They actually dared to slaughter elders of my Golden Saber Sect in Mengzhou territory! This person must die!"

"Second Elder, Wang Hai is a top-tier, first-class expert, yet he was instantly killed. This shows that the outsider was also at the Innate Realm. We must not act rashly."

Are we just going to swallow this bitter pill without saying a word?

"Of course not, we should wait and see what the sect leader thinks first."

Everyone looked up at Pei Wanchun, the leader of the Golden Saber Sect, whose face was grim.

His voice was hoarse and low as he said, "I heard that he was asking about the Ninth Princess at the God of Wealth Inn. I'm afraid he's someone from the imperial court. If we really let a master of innate cultivation into the city, I'm afraid it will ruin Mr. Buyi's grand plan."

The group exchanged glances and suppressed their anger.

"Then, sect leader, what should we do?"

"The plan must be brought forward. Notify Liuhe Mountain and let Mengzhou City be thrown into chaos first."

"So, sect leader, are you just going to ignore the person who killed Wang Hai?"

“Of course we should take care of it, Second Elder. You have only recently entered the first rank of the Innate Realm, so you should go and talk to him about his strengths and weaknesses. Remember, if you can't beat him, run away.”

Upon hearing this, the fiery old man with red hair and a red beard immediately revealed a murderous aura.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader, I'll definitely cut off his head for you. I'm an expert at killing these government lackeys!"
