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

Chapter 823 Thunder Demon Ruins

An unexpected surprise arrived; Ye Kang hadn't expected the mission to be completed so smoothly, and he was directly kidnapped.

He looked up without making a sound, and saw that in front of him were ravines and valleys, with towering trees forming an endless black canopy on both sides.

A continuous expanse of light turned the sky into a gloomy, sunless expanse, resembling a hellish outpost.

The kidnapped martial artists were already trembling with fear. Although they were inexperienced, they could see the danger lurking within, which was something they could not withstand.

Chu Yi closed his folding fan, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Everyone, your opportunity lies ahead. As long as you follow me, you can transform from insignificant rogue cultivators into martial artists revered by thousands. So don't worry, nothing will happen."

The crowd exchanged glances, none daring to speak. Only a woman of ordinary appearance raised her head and asked, "Is what you're saying true? You won't kill us?"

Chu Yi looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Kill? How could I bear to kill you? You are all outstanding individuals carefully selected by me. Don't worry, as long as you survive, you will become my guards, second only to me and above all others."

Upon hearing this, quite a few people looked on with anticipation.

Perhaps he is telling the truth?

Only Ye Kang's expression remained unchanged.

Survive? How is that possible?

If they truly cared about letting them live, they wouldn't have spoken to me so openly using their real names.

Knowing their real names, how could they possibly be left alive?

However, Ye Kang was not in a hurry. On the one hand, there were four Nirvana Realm experts now, and he might not be able to gain any advantage.

On the other hand, he was also very curious about Chu Yi's purpose.

What kind of place could possibly be worth kidnapping so many rogue cultivators?

You should know that even if someone is of high status, no one can protect them if they commit such a serious crime.

Some things are nothing on the scale, but once you put them on, they weigh a ton.

To commit a crime with such risks, there must be sufficient temptation driving them.

Thinking of this, Ye Kang's eyes immediately lit up as he said, "My lord, I am Xie Jinghong of the White Moon Sword Sect, and I am willing to serve you at your service!"

In an instant, countless resentful gazes fell upon them.

The rogue cultivators looked on with disdain. They never expected there to be such a sycophantic fool. He had absolutely no shame.

Ye Kang completely ignored him, only showing a respectful posture.

Sure enough, Chu Yi looked at him with satisfaction: "Jinghong, you are smarter than them. Don't worry, I have seen your sincere heart. I will definitely help you to return to your true self in the future."

"Thank you, sir!"

Ye Kang bowed his head heavily, instantly establishing his image as a sycophantic lackey.

Ye Yinghuan, standing beside Chu Yi, sneered. In her heart, she thought, "This kid is still dreaming even when he's about to die. The martial arts sects are indeed more despicable than the last."

She said irritably, "Don't waste your time. Go find that place you mentioned first. If it's fake, I won't let you off the hook."

"Rest assured, Yinghuan, there is absolutely no falsehood in this."

With great poise, Chu Yi flicked his sleeves and then took the lead into the Demon-Slaying Valley, leaving the others no choice but to follow.

Upon entering the valley, a desolate atmosphere immediately enveloped the area, with black, decaying wood and countless black boulders scattered around.

If you look closely, you'll find that these are all marks from being struck by lightning.

And such traces are everywhere you look.

It's hard to imagine what a terrifying battle took place here countless years ago, and how many incredible lightning spells fell to the ground.

Ye Kang gently activated his true energy, and the Thunder Swamp and Purple Lightning Frost in his palm immediately reacted, seemingly sensing the terrifying traces of lightning magic around them, and became extremely excited.

Therefore, it is clear that the Thunder Demon Sect's claim is entirely true; this place is indeed a major stronghold of the Thunder Demon Sect.

Although there are many ruins, they are of no value. The outer ruins have long been hollowed out by countless years of exploration, leaving behind only pure waste that is of no use to martial artists.

Chu Yi and Ye Yinghuan completely ignored their surroundings and led everyone straight inside.

After a full half hour, the group stopped flying and arrived at the ruins of a dilapidated city.

Broken walls and ruins, pitch black, and countless bird-like demons circling around.

Chu Yi exclaimed excitedly, "This is it! The place where the fourth elder of the Thunder Demon Sect perished!"

Everyone looked over, and it was hard to imagine how vast the ruined city had once been.

The Valley of Demons is more like a small world than a valley, its size is unimaginable.

Ye Yinghuan squinted and said, "There are more than one place where the elders of the Thunder Demon Sect have fallen. Although this place is in a remote location and few people know about it, some people have explored it. What's the difference?"

Chu Yi smiled mysteriously, pointed to the huge stone tablet behind the ruins, and said, "Some people know about this place, but they don't know that it has been shattered. Many grotto-heavens and spiritual treasures have broken and merged, forming a new layer. That layer contains the resources from those many grotto-heavens and spiritual treasures. Over the years, only I have found the way to open that layer!"
