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

The voice was very soft and feminine, making it difficult to tell whether it was male or female at first glance.

Hearing this strange conversation, Ye Kang couldn't help but fall into thought.

Is the chieftain a woman?

Is she such an open-minded woman?

Ye Kang stretched out his finger and, with a little force, poked a hole in the wooden partition.

He squinted to look, and what he saw made him feel utterly disgusted.

What woman? He's clearly a man!

However, she was born with a petite and delicate figure, fair skin, and wore heavy makeup.

At first glance, her face could be summed up in one word: beautiful.

She was so beautiful she didn't look like a man, and with heavy makeup, she looked extremely alluring.

In front of him knelt a muscular man, but he was trembling and his face was sallow, clearly having been exploited.

Ye Kang never expected that he would encounter such an absurd thing.

However, this extremely beautiful chieftain reminded him of someone.

The savage I killed in Kowloon Village was also an extremely handsome man. The two are somewhat similar; I wonder if they are related.

As he was pondering this, the chieftain kicked the burly man out and then walked out himself.

Ye Kang quietly disappeared.

The chieftain walked towards the innermost part of the stronghold, and the bandits along the way all kept their heads down, afraid of being noticed.

Ye Kang followed closely, only to see the man enter a cave, where two innate masters guarded the entrance.

Knowing he couldn't wait any longer, Ye Kang immediately unleashed the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi, sealing the throats of the two guards.

Hearing the commotion, the chieftain turned around and saw two of his men lying on the ground. He immediately wanted to shout, but Ye Kang had already used Shadow Step and instantly appeared behind him.

A pink sword aura floated in the air, pressed against the chieftain's neck, ready to pierce him at any moment.

"Don't make a sound, take me inside."

Ye Kang spoke coldly.

The chieftain's strength was only around the third-grade innate level, so he was naturally powerless to resist and could only shake his head repeatedly.

"Do not kill me!"

The chieftain was dumbfounded.

He approached me silently, instantly killed two innate masters, and subdued me effortlessly. Just how strong is this person?

He was sweating profusely, but he could only lead Ye Kang inside.

After walking for a while, the chieftain couldn't help but ask, "Hero, who are you, and why have you come here?"

"I am unworthy, but I come from the Cui family."

"The Cui family! You've come because of what happened a few days ago!"

"you know?"

The chieftain's face turned pale. He wanted to retort, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Ye Kang continued, "Did you raise that mountain spirit?"

"Yes……"

"Why keep demons? And how did you do it?"

Ye Kang immediately became interested.

If demons can be raised, wouldn't it be incredibly lucrative to raise demons on thousands of acres of land?

The chieftain trembled as he said, "The hero will find out soon. Since the hero is not a government official, everything is negotiable. The incident a few days ago was due to my negligence, which allowed the mountain ghost to escape. The hero, name your price, and I will not haggle!"

The chieftain's eyes gleamed with shrewdness; he had been afraid that Ye Kang was a spy for the Azure Scale Guard, but thankfully he wasn't.

As long as it has nothing to do with the imperial court, there is nothing that cannot be resolved.

Ye Kang just smiled and didn't say anything more.

However, his smile soon faded. Inside the cave, there were large wooden tubs filled with a foul-smelling green liquid.

Inside each wooden barrel was a strong, muscular man. Their eyes were lifeless, and their breaths were extremely weak; they had clearly become living dead.

At this moment, one of the wooden barrels suddenly emitted a strange low growl, and the burly man inside began to tremble all over, his face showing pain.

Immediately afterwards, a small green hand suddenly emerged from the burly man's mouth!

That hand was extremely dry and withered; it was clearly a terrifying ghost claw!

With a powerful tear, the strong man was ripped apart, and a mountain demon with a blue face and fangs emerged.

Ye Kang wasn't stupid; he immediately realized what was going on and then glared angrily.

"You are using living people to cultivate mountain spirits!"

The chieftain shuddered again.

"Hero! I was just following orders, don't blame me!"

"Where did these people come from?"

"I don't know. It was the henchmen from the mountains who went down there to make the arrests. I didn't ask who exactly they arrested..."

"Good good!"

Ye Kang said "good" three times, then his murderous aura was revealed as he looked at the chieftain with an icy expression.

"Whose orders are you on?"

Sensing Ye Kang's murderous aura, the chieftain was terrified, but still forced himself to say, "Hero, think it through. The Cui family had better not know about this, or it will bring great disaster upon them!"

Ye Kang's only response was a forward thrust of pink sword energy, from which a drop of blood seeped out; it was just a hair's breadth away from piercing the chieftain's carotid artery.

The chieftain hurriedly replied, "It's my master's order! He needs many mountain spirits, but I don't know exactly what they're for!"

"Who is your master?"

"It is... the Crimson Demon Lord..."

really.

Ye Kang understood.

The Crimson Darkness Demon Lord, known as the Crimson Darkness Old Demon in the Azure Scale Guard, is that perverted man who has a penchant for male beauty.

The man-eating savage in Jiulong Village was a disciple of the Old Demon Chiming, and so was the chieftain before them; both were exceptionally handsome men.

Ye Kang stopped asking about the matter and instead asked, "What about the mountain spirit that ate the Cui family's caravan?"

"In the very last iron cage, I was preparing to transport it to my master..."

"it is good."

Ye Kang nodded, then unexpectedly threw a punch, knocking the chieftain unconscious with a bang.

With a thought, Ye Kang unleashed a hundred-flower sword aura, and before the newly born mountain spirit could even comprehend what was happening, it was beheaded.

As for the people in the other wooden barrels, Ye Kang could only sigh.

These people have become the breeding ground for mountain spirits; only death can liberate them.

The sword energy of a hundred flowers shot out, freeing them from their predicament.

The Demon Furnace can only refine man-eating demons; mountain spirits that have never eaten people are of no use to Ye Kang.

After killing the mountain spirits that had not yet conceived, Ye Kang walked to the very back and found a huge iron cage. A mountain spirit as tall as a person was impaled by several iron chains and locked up tightly.

Despite such severe injuries, the mountain spirit showed no signs of life; it simply fainted.

Ye Kang killed it with a single sword strike, and then with a thought, he summoned the Demon Furnace, which sucked in the corpse and soul of the man-eating mountain demon.

【Ding! 】

[Successfully suppressed one man-eating mountain demon; currently being refined in the furnace; current progress: 1%]

Ye Kang used his consciousness to look, and in the demon furnace, the flames were raging and the ugly mountain ghost was locked up opposite the withered catfish demon soul, constantly wailing.

The Demon Furnace is quite peculiar; it can refine both the physical bodies and souls of demons, but Ye Kang hasn't yet figured out what each can produce.

After doing all this, Ye Kang dragged the village chief out of the cave.

The patrolling bandits saw a stranger dragging their chieftain and immediately shouted.

"There are enemies!"

Dozens of bandits surged out, wielding knives and slashing.

Ye Kang didn't even glance at them, but strode forward, his Hundred Flower Sword Qi flying and weaving through the crowd, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
