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

Ye Kang and Jin Baobei had been traveling at high speed on the official road for two days.

Jin Baobei concealed her identity, afraid of being recognized, and followed behind Ye Kang timidly.

Ye Kang joked, "Boss Jin, I heard that Wang Hai is pursuing you. Sorry, but I killed your suitor."

Upon hearing this, Gymboree shuddered and quickly shook her head.

"I have absolutely no connection with Wang Hai! That guy, relying on the backing of the Golden Saber Sect, has forcibly taken countless women. If I didn't have some strength, he would have succeeded long ago. Senior Ye, I should really thank you for killing this guy."

"So, the Golden Saber Sect doesn't have a very good reputation."

"That's natural. Martial arts are prevalent in Mengzhou. There are dozens of sects, large and small, and numerous factions, almost all of which have done things to oppress the good and kind."

Ye Kang nodded; he wasn't surprised by this.

Jiangping Prefecture, though small, is relatively close to the capital, yet its martial artists are incredibly arrogant. This is even more true for Mengzhou, which is further away from the capital.

He continued, "Of the ten major sects in Mengzhou, besides the Golden Saber Sect, who else do you think would covet the Ninth Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Jinbaobei's face turned pale.

This is a gift!

But since Ye Kang had already asked, she didn't dare not answer.

Hesitantly, Jin Baobei said vaguely, "Among the ten major sects, only the Sword Worship Sect and the Crimson Flame Sect are on good terms with the Golden Saber Sect. These two are the most likely to collude with the Golden Saber Sect..."

"I see. Do you know if any major events have happened in Mengzhou recently?"

"Who do you mean by 'senior'?"

"Rebel."

Ye Kang said with a smile.

Gymboree broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

The fact that this Senior Ye could utter those two words proves that he is undoubtedly a member of the imperial court.

She whispered, "One of my informants said that the Six Lords of the Six Palaces of the Six Harmonies Mountain are recruiting soldiers and horses and forging swords and armor, which is very suspicious."

"Liuhe Mountain? What's its background?"

"They are mountain bandits. There are countless mountain bandits in Mengzhou, and Liuhe Mountain is the largest. They often rob and kill merchant caravans and massacre villages and towns."

"Bandits are rampant, why isn't the prefecture sending troops to suppress them?"

"Senior is joking. The prefecture does not have the manpower for this. The governor and the military officers are at odds, so they cannot mobilize the troops in the camp."

The two chatted as they arrived in the capital.

Jinbaobei dismounted and paid the city entrance fee before the guards allowed him to pass.

Both of them concealed their true strength, and appeared to be just two second-rate experts.

In Mengzhou, where martial artists are as numerous as hairs on a cow, second-rate masters are like pebbles thrown into the ocean, causing not even the slightest ripple.

"Senior Ye, I have an informant who runs an inn in the city. We can stay there."

"Alright, lead the way."

The two soon arrived at an inconspicuous restaurant. After Jinbaobei identified herself, the restaurant owner immediately arranged two superior rooms for her.

The rooms are all on the third floor, with excellent views, allowing you to clearly see what's happening on the street.

The two, having traveled a long way, naturally ordered a meal first.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, it was already evening, and Ye Kang looked out the window.

"Mr. Jin, where is the Imperial Father-in-Law's residence?"

Jinbaobei pointed southeast and said, "Go to the end of this street, and the largest house there will be it."

"Alright, I'll go check on the Ninth Princess's safety. Please do as you please."

After Ye Kang finished speaking, he climbed out the window and left.

Under the cover of night, his figure moved like a ghost, swiftly disappearing.

Upon seeing this, Jinbaobei suddenly had an idea.

"Should we just run away now?"

But a moment later, she immediately rejected the idea.

You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple. It's best not to test the patience of a master.

Ye Kang shared the same sentiment; he wasn't afraid of Jinbaobei playing any tricks.

This is the confidence that his strength brings him.

Soon, Ye Kang had traversed half the city, and finally a huge mansion appeared in front of him.

The gate bears the inscription "Han Mansion, the Father-in-Law of the Emperor".

This is the location of Consort Jing's maternal home.

Consort Jing's original surname was Han. The Han family was a prominent and prestigious family in Mengzhou, and their home was decorated in a very luxurious style.

To protect such a family business, a large number of guards are essential.

There were six heavily armored soldiers standing in front of the gate, each of them a third-rate expert, and they were very imposing.

Ye Kang remained calm and jumped up from the side wall.

As soon as he activated his five senses, he was able to detect several powerful auras around him.

"There are at least five top-tier experts and as many as ten first-tier experts. They should be the imperial guards who came to protect the Ninth Princess. It's a pity that there are no Xiantian experts here."

Ye Kang moved with the wind; as long as he concealed himself completely, no one with his top-notch strength could detect him.

At the same time, the distribution of those experts also pointed him to the location of the Ninth Princess.

It was an inconspicuous little room, but ten experts were stationed around it, which made it clear that they were not ordinary people.

As Ye Kang was wondering how to see what was happening inside, the door to the side room suddenly opened.

A stunningly beautiful woman, around seventeen or eighteen years old, peeked out.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she headed straight for the gate. At that moment, a fat man rushed over and blocked her way.

"Oh, my princess! Please don't run around like that! If anything happens to you, our whole family will lose our heads!"

"Uncle, how come you always appear at the right time?"

The woman looked disappointed and had no choice but to give up her plan to run away.

It seems that she is the Ninth Princess, and the person who stopped him must be the Emperor's brother-in-law.

Seeing that the princess was unharmed, Ye Kang didn't linger and jumped out.

at the same time.

The Ninth Princess returned to her room, and her previously bewildered and strange expression suddenly turned serious.

"Old Wu, has that person left?"

Inside the room, there was an elderly woman, leaning on a cane, squinting her eyes, looking very frail.

She nodded gently and said, "That person showed no ill intent. He seemed to be just there to check on the princess's safety. He must be another group of guards arranged by Her Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess sighed helplessly.

"Mother is really something. Arranging a batch of imperial guards wasn't enough, she sent another one. It's never going to end."

The old woman, known as Granny Wu, smiled kindly.

"Your Highness is also worried about the princess's safety. After all, it's normal for the situation in Mengzhou to become increasingly chaotic. However, I didn't expect that Your Highness would arrange for a minor expert of the first rank of the Innate Realm. I've never heard of this person before."

"Hmph, so what if I'm a first-grade innate master? Elder Wu, you're a third-grade innate master. With you here, no one can hurt me."

"Your Highness flatters me. I am already half-dead and about to die. Sooner or later I will not be able to protect the princess. It is Your Highness's blessing that Your Highness has found such a young person with the first rank of innate talent."

"Old Wu, please don't say that. You've watched me grow up since I was a child, and I'm sure I'll be able to break through my life limit! Now I just hope that the first-grade innate master won't interfere and affect my plans."

The Ninth Princess sighed silently, a look of sorrow appearing on her face.

……

Ye Kang was unaware that there was actually an old monster of the third rank of the Innate Realm beside the Ninth Princess.

If he knew, he certainly wouldn't have sneaked into the Emperor's father-in-law's residence at night and exposed himself.

At this moment, he had already set his sights on another group of men in black.
