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

Chapter 507 Containing Pearls

Ye Kang shrugged: "I'm not familiar with them either, and I don't seem to have any reason to help you."

"Wait! We will not let our benefactor work for nothing. As long as our benefactor is willing to take me to see the people of the Wuji Sword Sect, the rest is none of our concern. I will also offer a treasure of our clan."

"Treasure?"

Ye Kang immediately became interested.

"That's right. People only know that mermaid tears are a treasure, but they don't know that mermaids are good at raising seashells, and the most precious of them is this."

With a thought, Elder Feng conjured a snow-white shell out of thin air in his hand.

"This item is called the Spirit Pearl, a sacred object that every merman clan refines. Simply wear it on your chest, and it will absorb spiritual energy at all times. Even if you run out of true energy during battle, it can immediately replenish it. Of course, this item is fragile, so it's best to turn it into scales and integrate it into your flesh."

After Elder Feng finished speaking, he handed over the Spirit Pearl.

As soon as Ye Kang got his hands on it, the system notification sounded.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an upgradeable magic item: Pearl Shell]

【Pearl-Containing Shell: A top-tier magical artifact that can evolve into a spiritual treasure upon upgrade. It is crafted by the Merfolk through the collective essence and bloodline talent of their entire clan. When worn, it provides a supply of spiritual energy and can also store spiritual energy at any time, perfectly meeting the host's spiritual energy needs】

[Congratulations, host, on officially activating the Magic Weapon System]

[The host currently possesses the following magical treasures: Pearl Shell and Folding Wooden Awl]

Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

The merman gave me a magical artifact, which directly unlocked a new system for me.

Moreover, above the magic weapon, there was actually a spiritual treasure.

Ye Kang was very satisfied. Things that could be upgraded never disappointed him, and this Condensation Pearl was definitely a precious item.

He immediately refined the pearl, which then transformed into a seashell tattoo and was integrated into his chest.

Seeing how quickly Ye Kang had collected the items, Elder Feng asked in a low voice, "Is our benefactor satisfied?"

“Yes, yes, we’re all family. I’m happy to help you with this little favor. Elder Feng, come with me and bring those two along too.”

Ye Kang pointed to the Kuanglan Society assassins who were wrapped up like dumplings, and Kuang Tianming who was unconscious.

This guy was really unlucky; he fainted as soon as he got off and still doesn't know what happened.

However, considering that he helped him get to know the merfolk, Ye Kang couldn't just leave him there.

Elder Feng immediately nodded, and the two of them, each carrying one, along with the Carp God, dived underwater together.

The undercurrent is in the shallow sea, but its entrance is hidden, and only the merfolk know its location.

Under Elder Feng's guidance, Ye Kang stepped into the dark current once again, and that terrifying dizziness struck him again, almost making him vomit.

Fortunately, he was physically strong and managed to withstand the attack. When he opened his eyes again, countless swords had already sealed off the surroundings, all exuding a chilling killing intent.

"who!"

With a roar, Ye Kang raised his hands in surrender without hesitation, shouting, "Liu Ci of the Tyrant Whale Sect! He's not a bad person!"

"Ba Whale Sect?"

A burly swordsman swam down, followed by Zheng Yun, who said, "Uncle-Master Lou, this is Fellow Daoist Liu who disappeared with Senior Brother Kuang."

"From the Tyrant Whale Sect?"

Uncle Lou frowned and glanced at Ye Kang, then looked at the rest of the people.

"What happened? Why did Tianming faint?"

Ye Kang then recounted what had just happened.

Of course, he had already made an agreement with the merfolk, thus omitting many things.

The matter of General Jinji and Yunzhu was not mentioned at all; it was only said that the merfolk voluntarily gave him a few merfolk tears as an apology.

After checking on Kuang Tianming and confirming that he was alright, Uncle Lou of the Wuji Sword Sect waved his hand and dispelled the sword formation.

"Liu Ci, is it? I've heard of you. You seem to be an ignorant and incompetent scoundrel. I won't hold this against you this time. Remember to keep your mouth shut and go back."

"Thank you, Uncle Lou. I'll be going now."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Kang took Li Shen's hand in one hand and carried the assassin in the other, ready to leave.

Uncle Lou suddenly asked, "Wait, who is this person?"

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, he is a rogue cultivator and a wanted person of the Tyrant Whale Sect. He once killed an outer disciple, and I must bring him back for trial."

"What! This is unbelievable! Your Tyrant Whale Sect's ship should have arrived at the dock by now. Hurry up and go, don't be late! This kind of villain deserves to be torn to pieces!"

"Thank you for your understanding, uncle."

Ye Kang left respectfully.

Judging from his appearance, he must be a nobleman from a sect who looks down on rogue cultivators. He absolutely cannot tolerate rogue cultivators daring to kill sect disciples.

Seeing Ye Kang leave, Uncle Lou then looked at Elder Feng.

"Are you the leader of that branch of the merfolk?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, come back with me and we'll talk in detail."

……

Ye Kang didn't know whether the Wuji Sword Sect was willing to protect this group of merfolk, and he had absolutely no interest in it.

He had been away for quite some time and had to hurry back, otherwise the sect leader would probably be searching for him all over the world.

He immediately went to the Fairy Sound Island dock, and sure enough, the Tyrant Whale Sect's ship was about to set sail.

Ye Kang shouted and identified himself before successfully boarding his own ship.

The person guarding this ship was also an old acquaintance, none other than Fang Wuji.

Upon seeing Ye Kang, Fang Wuji exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to you, kid? You went out and there was no news at all. I thought you'd been killed by that old thief Murong, hahaha!"

"Uncle-Master, please hope for me more. Can the ship speed up?"

"What? Are you in a hurry?"

"Yes, I've caught a guy and need to see the clerk immediately."

"Who is so important?"

"The assassins of the Mad Wave Society, alive."

"what!"

Fang Wuji immediately understood the implications.

The Raging Waves Society is a thorn in the side of the Coral Islands; it's universally hated, and every sect despises this organization.

These assassins will kill by any means necessary once they accept a mission, regardless of which sect they belong to.

For a long time, all the sects spontaneously searched for these bastards, wanting to eradicate them completely.

But in the end, nothing came of it, and no useful clues were found at all.

They did capture quite a few low-level assassins, but those below the Divine Sea Realm didn't necessarily know as much as the sects, so they were completely useless.

This is truly the first time we've caught a Divine Sea Realm assassin alive.

Fang Wuji said solemnly, "Well done! This is of great importance. We won't stop here this time. I will have the ships return at full speed. You've made such a great contribution, haven't you?"

"Uncle Fang, you're too kind. It was just good luck."

"This isn't luck... Wait! What's your cultivation level now?!"

"By sheer luck, the four pillars of destiny have been raised."

"what!!!"

Fang Wuji was completely dumbfounded.

His cultivation level was only three pillars, while Ye Kang had risen to four pillars, so wouldn't that mean he was even higher than him?

"You brat... you're not going to be the one calling me 'Master Uncle' tomorrow, are you...?"
