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

Chapter 277 The mysterious strong man

His soaring cultivation level finally stabilized, ultimately settling at the ninth rank of the initial stage.

Ye Kang and the Thief King exchanged a glance and simultaneously wiped away their cold sweat.

Good heavens, this is outrageous.

It turns out that true geniuses don't need to work hard at all. Improving their level is as simple as eating and drinking. In the blink of an eye, they can break through the shackles that ordinary people can never break in their entire lives.

Not only the two of them, but also their maternal grandfather Xie Shanhe and Xie Jinghong in the next cultivation room, all noticed this terrifying scene.

They all looked terrified, unable to believe their own senses!

How could anyone be so talented!

Dai Huanhuan herself exhaled and opened her eyes.

At this moment, she has changed somewhat compared to her previous clear-headed naiveté.

Her eyes no longer held confusion, but instead showed more composure and a natural confidence.

She looked at Ye Kang, and without saying a word, bowed deeply and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, Lord Xie Ye, for your life-saving grace."

"There's no need for that. How does it feel?"

Ye Kang forced himself to calm down and helped Dai Huanhuan up.

Actually, he was very unhappy right now, mainly because his talent was really too rubbish. Compared to Dai Huanhuan's martial arts talent, he seemed like a fool, which was really painful.

Fortunately, she has talent, and I have a system; we both have bright futures.

Dai Huanhuan pondered for a moment and said, "I suddenly have many memories that I didn't have before, and a mysterious martial art, which seems to have been comprehended from my newly born soul and bloodline."

After saying that, Dai Huanhuan pointed her finger, and countless true energies transformed into feather blades, forming a bluebird dharma image, which roared and cried in the cultivation room.

Dai Huanhuan stroked the bluebird dharma image and said, "This martial art is hidden deep in my bloodline. It seems to be a gift from heaven and earth. It has no levels or grades, but I feel that I can keep practicing it."

After saying that, Dai Huanhuan withdrew her cyan true energy and immediately returned to her innocent appearance, throwing herself into the arms of the Thief King.

"Master, my aptitude has been restored!"

"Good, good, Master has seen it. This rightfully belongs to you. You are a once-in-a-millennium genius, the glory of your parents."

The King of Thieves wept, then bowed deeply to Ye Kang.

"Lord Ye, actions speak louder than words. From this day forward, I, on behalf of Si Li, will follow Lord Ye's lead without question, serving him faithfully and never breaking my promise!"

Having said that, he made a vow in his Dao heart, shocking Ye Kang and Dai Huanhuan.

"Senior Thief King, why do this? Once you've sworn an oath to the Dao, there's no going back." Ye Kang smiled bitterly.

The latter shook his head firmly: "This is a great favor, and only in this way can I repay it. Huanhuan's future achievements are limitless. I'm afraid only she can keep up with Lord Ye's pace. I'm old, and I can only use this crippled body to serve you."

The King of Thieves bowed, his words leaving no room for doubt.

Of course, the implication is that the King of Thieves will use his Daoist heart to swear an oath to repay Huanhuan's kindness in exchange for Huanhuan's freedom.

Ye Kang didn't say much, but nodded and said, "In that case, the Thief King will take charge of the Xie family for me."

He then looked at Dai Huanhuan: "Miss Huanhuan's potential has not yet been fully revealed. If I am not mistaken, the cultivation technique you have awakened should be able to help you cultivate to the Martial Immortal realm, although I do not know what the Martial Immortal realm is."

Ye Kang was somewhat helpless. He hadn't even figured out his own cultivation method yet, and Dai Huanhuan had already achieved great success.

Of course, since Dai Huanhuan's cultivation technique is favored by heaven and earth, only she can practice it. Ye Kang is definitely not suitable for it, so there's no need for him to bother with it.

He opened the door to the cultivation room and walked out, saying, "No matter what, Miss Huanhuan has now truly transformed from a carp into a dragon. She should stop being a thief from now on."

Upon hearing this, Dai Huanhuan snorted lightly: "That's impossible. How could a corrupt official like you understand my chivalrous spirit of robbing the rich to help the poor! I must keep getting stronger so that I can steal more ill-gotten gains!"

"She's back. This is the Dai Huanhuan I know."

Ye Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he hadn't been taken over by any strange or unusual personality.

The moment he stepped out the door, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

A chilling aura locked the entire courtyard, rendering everyone immobile.

Ye Kang stared incredulously at his fingertips and the soles of his feet.

Layers of frost rose up, sealing away all his true energy.

I can't move at all!

Ye Kang looked ahead and suddenly a stunningly beautiful woman appeared, wearing a long blue dress, holding an ice-blue longsword, and with a vermilion dot between her eyebrows.

Ye Kang was greatly shocked; his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

It wasn't because of the other party's stunningly beautiful appearance, but because of their overwhelming and utterly powerless demeanor.

If the other party is willing, she can turn the entire city into ice sculptures in an instant.

This was the first time Ye Kang had truly felt an absolute crushing of strength. This sense of despair and powerlessness left him only able to stare blankly with wide eyes.

However, the other party did not seem to be interested in Ye Kang.

She walked straight in, her gaze fixed on Dai Huanhuan at the doorway.

The latter also looked terrified, completely unaware of what had happened.

After gazing at her for a moment, the woman in blue slowly spoke, her voice both intellectual and icy, like a heavenly melody.

"The Azure Phoenix Immortal Body, it was indeed true."

After saying that, a hint of a smile appeared on the woman's icy expression.

After scanning the room, she looked at Dai Huanhuan and said, "From this moment on, I am your master. Follow me, and I will guarantee your success in becoming a Martial Immortal. If you agree, they can live."

The woman's words were cold, but her tone was extremely serious. Ye Kang had no doubt that if Dai Huanhuan refused, the entire city of Jinling would be turned into a dead zone today.

Dai Huanhuan clearly realized this as well. She glanced reluctantly at the Thief King, then looked at Ye Kang's back, and then blinked to indicate that she agreed.

The woman nodded in satisfaction: "Good child, from today onwards, you are the pride of the Xuanji Dao Sect."

With that, she waved her hand, and the chilling aura vanished. Ye Kang and the others coughed and collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"Huanhuan!"

The Thief King cried out in alarm, but Dai Huanhuan was nowhere to be seen; she had vanished along with the woman in blue.

"What happened! Who is that woman? Could she be a Grandmaster?!"

Xie Jinghong stumbled to her feet, her eyes filled with fear.

Ye Kang shook his head: "Grandmaster? Even a Great Grandmaster doesn't have this kind of oppressive aura... Why would such a heaven-defying existence come to stroll around the Great Jin Dynasty..."

Ye Kang looked at the sky and murmured that name.

"Xuanji Dao Sect..."

That was the name of the sect the woman in blue belonged to, a name that had never appeared in any ancient texts.

Ye Kang didn't think it was because it wasn't famous; on the contrary, the most likely reason was that it was too far removed from him.

This world has revealed just the tip of its iceberg.

A single, fleeting glance was enough to completely shatter the slight arrogance that Ye Kang had managed to muster.
