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

Chapter 321 Unlucky Ran Zhou

Deepest part of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Mountains and valleys, ancient trees reaching for the sky.

Ran Zhou and his two younger brothers struggled to jump from treetop to treetop.

"What bad luck! The headquarters has to be set up in such a shabby place. It's exhausting to go back and forth every time."

Ran Zhou complained irritably.

The underling beside him quickly flattered, "Protector Ran is exceptionally talented, and the organization trusts you, which is why they let you lead us on this mission."

"Heh, you certainly know how to talk."

Ran Zhou's lips trembled; though he was smiling, his eyes were full of resentment.

The last time I brought the reply from the Ten Buddhas back to the main altar, that guy turned around and died.

All plans fell through, and that bastard Qingyan was furious, but he took it all out on himself.

Of course, Ran Zhou was already very skilled at playing the subservient role.

What he truly feared was not the blue eyes, but the murderer who killed the Ten Buddhas.

No one expected that Ye Kang, the famous Imperial City Guard, was actually the same person as that plague god!

Ran Zhou recalled the scenes that had occurred at Lingyin Temple, and his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

"Ye Kang is Song Xian, that bastard who acts as an imperial inspector..."

He gritted his teeth, and for no apparent reason, he felt a dull ache in his stomach.

That guy fed me poison in an attempt to control me, but I don't know what kind of poison it was, and it never took effect.

Of course, Ran Zhou wasn't naive enough to think that poison was useless.

Given Song Xian's cunning and cautious nature, this poison is definitely real, and it must be the most potent kind. The fact that it hasn't taken effect yet simply means that the other party doesn't want him to die.

After Ran Zhou became a ninth-grade Extreme Realm cultivator, he did consider rebelling against Song Xian. After all, with Qingyan around, it wasn't impossible for the two of them to take down that bastard together.

This idea persisted until a few days ago.

After hearing the news of the death of the Ten Buddhas, Ran Zhou was filled with despair.

If someone can't even beat the Ten Buddhas, then Qingyan is probably even less likely to be able to beat him. As for himself, he's nothing.

"Oh dear, what should we do..."

Ran Zhou sighed and shook his head.

The underling beside him asked in confusion, "Protector Ran, what's wrong? If you're really tired, why don't I carry you on my back?"

"roll!"

Ran Zhou kicked his underling in the butt, who screamed and rolled away before falling into the grass, motionless.

"Playing dead?"

Ran Zhou was already furious, and seeing this, he became even more enraged and kicked him away.

As a result, the younger brother was left hanging from the tree with a huge, bleeding hole in his head.

"what!"

Ran Zhou reacted immediately, gripping the hidden weapon tightly. Another muffled groan came, and another henchman fell to the ground.

"who!"

Ran Zhou immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly released his senses. Then, a figure slowly descended.

"Hey, long time no see."

Ye Kang looked at Ran Zhou with a smile. He had followed Leng Wuqing's directions and had come all the way here, but he didn't expect to run into Ran Zhou.

Even though he hadn't transformed into Song Xian, he still sent a shiver down Ran Zhou's spine, causing her to involuntarily kneel down.

"Lord Song... Lord Ye, I've missed you so much!"

Ran Zhou reacted extremely quickly, rushing over without hesitation, grabbing Ye Kang's leg, and wailing incessantly.

"Since our parting in Qiantang, I have always kept Lord Ye's teachings in mind and have never forgotten them for a moment!"

Ran Zhou had seen Ye Kang's portrait before, so he naturally recognized him at a glance.

Although he was cursing inwardly, he dared not show it at all.

Ye Kang kicked him away and laughed, "Is that so? I made you a spy, and you immediately made you a protector. If we don't close the net soon, are you going to become the leader?"

"I'm innocent, my lord! Ran Zhou was just trying to gather more intelligence to ease your burdens!"

"Is that so? Then let me ask you, where is the White Lotus Sect's headquarters, how many people are there, and how many experts are there?"

Ran Zhou's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

"Sir, are you really going to close the net?"

"What do you think?"

"No, sir! It's too risky!"

Ran Zhou was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his skin. He immediately stood up and said, "I served as a protector for a while and have a deeper understanding of the main altar. It's definitely not like what's rumored outside, where there's only one expert, the sect leader!"

"Who else?"

"I don't know the specifics, but below the sect leader, both vice sect leaders have already achieved lotus cultivation. Above the sect leader, I guess there is an even stronger being!"

"you guess?"

"My lord, I am not yet able to access the deeper levels, but the main altar is working day and night to collect spirit crystals, and several sect leaders often enter a hidden cave, which must be to meet someone."

Ran Zhou wasn't lying; he wouldn't dare to try anything clever.

After all, he didn't want to go into danger with this guy; if they failed, he would definitely lose his life!

We should try to persuade this man to leave.

But Ye Kang was not surprised.

"The White Lotus Sect's headquarters is a dilapidated little cave, right?"

"How did you know!" Ran Zhou was greatly surprised. The secrets of the main altar could never have been leaked to the outside world. Could it be that he had other spies?

Ye Kang didn't explain; Xia Ningyan had told her all of this.

This descendant of the former imperial family at least had some understanding of the White Lotus Sect.

According to her, the White Lotus Sect was actually controlled by a former official who was determined to restore the previous dynasty.

The conflict between the Gu Clan's Grand Elder and Xia Ningyan lies in this: one pins his hopes on the Buddhist Kingdom, while the other bets on the White Lotus Sect. Their differing ideologies cause internal strife within the Gu Clan.

Most importantly, the White Lotus headquarters is located in a dilapidated small cave that outsiders cannot enter. Inside, there is not only a section of the dragon vein from the previous dynasty, but also a spirit crystal mine.

It is thanks to these things that the White Lotus Sect has been able to survive to this day.

Do you know what level of strength the White Lotus Cult Leader possesses?

Ye Kang looked at Ran Zhou, who trembled and said with a wry smile, "My lord, the sect leader never sees anyone. I've never even met him, so how would I know any of this..."

Ye Kang didn't press him for details; he was most likely telling the truth.

The White Lotus Sect went to Lingyin Temple to seize the Bodhi Leaf Opening Pill, but now it seems it was probably meant for their leader.

It's a pity that this Great Dan set is now in my hands, but I probably won't use it.

"Regardless, please take me inside."

"What! Now!?"

"Why not?"

Ran Zhou sensed something was wrong and asked tremblingly, "Are you going to disguise yourself again?"

"clever"

Ye Kang gave a casual smile, and then the spirit butterfly flashed and transformed into Mr. Kang's appearance, but his realm remained unchanged, still the Two Leaves Lotus.

With his current strength, even Guang Chen, who has opened the Five Leaves stage, can no longer control him. As long as he doesn't encounter a Six Leaves expert, he has nothing to fear.

Furthermore, the White Lotus Sect is not so easily fooled. When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood. If they act arrogantly, the effect might be better.

Thinking of this, Ye Kang threw a punch, turning Ran Zhou into a panda.

"Sir! You!"

"Lead the way. From now on, call me Mr. Kang. I am here on the orders of the Holy Maiden of the Gu Clan to discuss cooperation."
