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

Screams echoed through the cell.

Without much effort, Ye Kang pried two martial arts techniques out of the flying centipede's mouth.

The other prisoners felt a chill run down their spines as they watched this scene.

They were terrified that this plague god would target them.

The flying centipede lay wounded on the haystack, groaning in pain.

"You're going to die... You little thief, even if you get my martial arts, you'll never learn them without ten or eight years of practice!"

……

【Ding】

[The superior internal martial art, Yi Mu Heart Sutra, and the superior lightness skill, Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds, have been recorded.]

[Entry requires 300 Insight Points. Do you want to learn?]

Inside an empty prison cell.

Without hesitation, Ye Kang first studied the Yi Wood Heart Sutra.

As his comprehension diminished, Ye Kang felt as if he were atop a giant tree, breathing in the essence of heaven and earth under the moonlight in the forest, meditating for ten... twenty... thirty years...

I've finally gotten the hang of it!

Ye Kang stretched out his hands, and the greenish-blue Yi Wood True Qi seeped out from his body, filling his entire body with a vibrant life force and strengthening his body.

"This Yi Wood Heart Sutra is indeed profound. According to the Flying Centipede, after mastering it, one can even continuously generate true energy during battle, inexhaustible in its supply!"

Ye Kang was extremely excited; this internal skill was definitely a rare treasure.

I have no idea where this flying centipede came from.

"But it's really hard to master. With my aptitude, it would take me thirty years to even get the basics right. Luckily, I have the system."

Ye Kang sighed for a moment, then spent another 300 points of enlightenment to learn another lightness skill.

He then brought up the control panel.

[Host: Ye Kang]

Martial Arts: Vajra Wrath (Great Perfection), White Tiger Slaying Blade (Third Level), Yi Wood Heart Sutra (Beginner), Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds (Beginner)

[Strength: Top-tier, first-class expert]

It's improved again!

It was indeed because of a deficiency in internal energy that his strength was suppressed.

Now that the problem of internal strength has been solved, his strength has naturally increased, and he has become a top-notch master.

As Bai Laosan once said, his father, Bai Daqing, was only at this level.

at the same time.

Meanwhile, news of the prison break was successfully reported.

Inside Deputy Commander Zhu's office, he was leisurely sipping tea when his subordinate rushed in in a flustered manner.

"My lord! Something terrible has happened!"

Snapped!

The teacup slammed heavily onto the table.

"What's the panic! What did your elders teach you? To remain calm and composed in the face of danger. Now, step back and do it again!"

The minor official dared not disobey and actually went out to knock on the door.

"Enter."

Deputy Commander Zhu spoke leisurely.

The clerk then cautiously entered, forcing himself to speak while suppressing his panic.

"My lord, a servant has come to report that something has happened in the death row."

"Oh, I see."

Deputy Commander Zhu leaned back and continued to leisurely sip his tea.

"There were thieves who broke into the prison, but fortunately they were all wiped out by the guards. The commander has already led his men there."

The official added.

"Yes, I know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Deputy Commander Zhu's eyes snapped open, and the teacup in his hand was crushed by tremendous force.

Boom!

A large foot had already kicked the minor official away.

"You idiot! Why didn't you say something so important sooner!"

Deputy Commander Zhu, pale-faced, quickly dressed and rode his horse at breakneck speed toward the death row.

It’s broken, it’s broken!

What's wrong with Bai Daqing?!

What kind of people were they sent? How could they have been completely wiped out!

"White Tiger Gang, you're trying to kill me!"

……

When Zhu Cong arrived at the death row, the other two commanders also arrived at the same time.

The Imperial City Guard consists of three officials: one woman and two men.

Commander: Leng Ruyi; Deputy Commanders: Zhu Cong and Zhang Gong.

Leng Ruyi was dressed in the robes of an envoy, carrying a royal sword. She was tall and slender, with a commanding presence.

She glanced at Zhu Cong and nodded.

"Deputy Commander Zhu has also arrived. Let's go in together."

Leng Ruyi lived up to her name, with a cold expression that kept strangers at bay.

Seeing this, Zhang Gong chuckled inwardly.

This isn't the first time someone has been rescued from death row.

This time it definitely has nothing to do with him.

Then it can only be Lord Zhu who did it.

But I never expected such a huge mistake to happen. Lord Zhu, you're doomed, hahaha!

Zhu Cong saw the smile in Zhang Gong's eyes, and his heart sank.

But he dared not show it; on the surface, he remained indignant.

"Lord Leng, this is a death row prison, and yet some madman dared to break in! This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

"Ah."

Lord Leng is a man of few words.

The three entered the death row, and along the way, their subordinates had already informed them of the whole story.

Ye Kang, along with the six surviving prison guards, respectfully waited in the corridor.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Ye Kang cupped his hands in greeting while muttering to himself.

It turns out that the commander of the Imperial City Guard is actually a cold and aloof older woman.

Indeed, in the world of martial arts, only strength matters, not gender.

Leng Ruyi glanced around without saying a word.

Who is Ye Kang?

The jailers looked at Ye Kang, who then stepped forward on his own initiative.

"Yes, sir."

Leng Wuyi stared at Ye Kang for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

"Your strength is impressive. I am already aware of what happened. You have rendered meritorious service in killing the prison breakers. You are promoted to Commander of the Death Prison and awarded five hundred taels of silver."

"Thank you, sir."

Ye Kang breathed a sigh of relief; not only had he not taken any action, but he had also been promoted to commander.

As expected, the Imperial City Guard was not a monolithic entity.

Subsequently, Ye Kang, along with the three commanders, conducted a thorough investigation and confirmed that the prison breakers were from the White Tiger Gang.

With Bai Laosan's testimony, the evidence is irrefutable.

Leng Ruyi acted swiftly and decisively, writing a document on the spot.

"Deputy Commander Zhu, the White Tiger Gang is in your jurisdiction, so you will personally go and arrest them. You must get to the bottom of this."

Leng Ruyi handed the document to Zhu Cong, who breathed a sigh of relief.

The commander is giving himself a chance.

After all, arresting a dead person is still arresting a person.

But he was also in a bit of a dilemma.

"Lord Leng, the White Tiger Gang is, after all, a powerful force in the martial arts world with many warriors. I'm afraid..."

Deputy Commander Zhu was somewhat intimidated.

Although he is a top-tier expert.

However, the White Tiger Gang has more than just Bai Daqing; no one can be sure if there are even stronger members among them.

He wasn't worried about wiping them out; his real fear was that they would escape.

If an insider slips through the net, can his deal with Bai Daqing still be kept secret?

Some things, as long as there is no way to verify them, are as if they never happened. But once they are revealed, it is a matter of no return.

Leng Ruyi casually pointed at Ye Kang.

"Lord Zhu's concerns are not unfounded. Isn't there a top-notch expert right here? Please ask Commander Ye to go and lend a hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Zhu Cong looked conflicted. He was just a first-rate expert, and he had plenty of his own subordinates. Why did he need to ask a jailer for help?

Do I still need to ask them to come?

Leng Ruyi didn't say much, nor did she intend to send any more experts to help. She simply led her people away.

However, the words she left behind are quite intriguing.

Zhu Cong and Zhang Gong were both cunning old foxes, and they quickly realized what was going on.

The commander's intention is for Zhu Cong to apologize!

Zhang Gong shook his head.

"Lord Leng's methods are still as formidable as ever. Lord Zhu, why aren't you going to invite Commander Ye?"

Zhang Gong said this half-jokingly and half-threateningly, then left with his arms crossed.

At this moment, Ye Kang also realized what was happening.

This is the explanation the commander gave himself!

In this world, martial artists are not to be desecrated and hold a lofty status.

Top-tier experts are important figures wherever they go and deserve to be treated with respect.

Zhu Cong treated himself as a pawn to be discarded, which was a grave mistake and he had to give an explanation.

Lord Leng used the pretext of annihilating the White Tiger Gang to give this explanation a name.

As for how much to reveal, that depends on Ye Kang's appetite.
