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

Chapter 962 Profound Darkness, the Fierce Steed Tribe

Beneath the vast jungle, a tree root that runs through the earth's core suddenly began to stir.

The tree roots burrowed downwards, reaching the deepest part of the earth.

There are no living things here, not even soil or rocks; there is only a deep, extreme darkness, as if it could bury everything.

Even the tree root that could control the entire Fog Continent at will dare not venture further into the darkness.

The tree root stopped steadily on the last layer before the darkness and emitted an ancient and rustic sound.

"The person you're waiting for has arrived in Wuzhou; it's time to leave."

This voice was extremely familiar to all the creatures of Wuzhou; it belonged to the supreme Emperor Huai.

His tone at that moment even carried a hint of negotiation, which would probably shock the locals of Wuzhou to death if they heard it.

What kind of person could possibly be someone that Emperor Huai could consult with?

In the darkness, after only a moment of contemplation, a languid and delicate voice rang out.

"Not urgent."

"Aren't you in a hurry? What could possibly make you so anxious?"

Emperor Huai's voice carried a hint of helplessness, but he did not try to persuade him further. The tree roots immediately lost their spirituality and floated quietly above the darkness, making it easier to send messages later.

Emperor Huai, who had left this place, did not rush to fall asleep. Instead, he gathered a wisp of his consciousness at the place where Ye Kang was.

This kid seems to be heading towards another guy's hometown.

Sure enough, young people still can't keep their composure.

Emperor Huai, being a powerful figure who had been invincible for many years, would inevitably get bored. At this moment, he spared a sliver of his consciousness to observe, finding it quite interesting.

At the same time, he was also thinking to himself that these guys born into the Holy Sect were all really difficult to deal with.

……

Ye Kang was naturally unaware that a powerful figure was already observing him.

At this moment, he was following Ye Meijue, continuing to venture deeper into the heart of Wuzhou.

To show their respect for Emperor Huai, the two did not fly, but instead used their movement techniques and escape skills to travel through the dense forest.

After all, with their cultivation level here, even dense forests pose no obstacle to them; they can move freely without hindrance.

Soon, the two were suddenly greeted by a breathtaking view. What lay ahead was no longer a primeval forest, but a vast, lush grassland stretching for an unknown distance.

The river meanders and connects, the water plants are knee-high, and birds soar, creating a scene reminiscent of a grassland.

The rapid changes in the landscape made Ye Kang feel somewhat unreal.

But that's the truth. The Liejun tribe were centaurs, so naturally they had to live on the grasslands.

The two made no attempt to conceal their presence, and they were immediately discovered as soon as they entered the grassland.

A burly man wearing leather armor, with long brown hair, and a human torso and horse legs, came running at top speed.

"Who dares to trespass on the territory of the Fierce Steed tribe!"

The burly man's voice was also extremely rough, with a hint of threat in it.

Ye Meijue immediately said, "Ye Meijue of the Ye Nu tribe has come to pay a visit to the Lie Jun tribe."

"Night Woman? Why is she accompanied by humans?"

“He is my husband, and he has always admired your tribe, which is why he has come to request an audience.”

Ye Meijue's tone was very respectful, and the burly man also sensed the aura of returning to the true nature emanating from Ye Kang, which made him very frightened.

He knew very well that he couldn't withstand the wrath of a True Realm expert once they got angry.

Therefore, he did not press the matter further, and nodded, saying, "I will go see the clan leader. Please wait a moment."

"Thank you very much."

Ye Meijue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Liejun tribe's temper wasn't as fiery as it seemed on the surface, and they could still be communicated with patiently.

After waiting for a while, a group of people came from the front.

The leader was the most robust, standing three meters tall. He wore a feathered crown symbolizing the clan leader, and his aura was undoubtedly that of a True Immortal.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Ye Kang and said, "I've heard that you have a fondness for my Liejun tribe? May I ask why?"

Ye Kang smiled and said, "I have heard that the Liejun tribe has a special treasure called the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl. I have come to see it. At the same time, I also have a transaction that I would like to discuss with your tribe."

Upon hearing this, Chief Liejun frowned immediately: "So it's for the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl. This item only exists in legends. Even I have never seen it, let alone let you see it. As for the transaction you mentioned, my Liejun tribe has nothing to lack, so I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Chief Liejun's tone was not good. After all, most tribes in Wuzhou do not like humans. If Ye Kang had not been highly skilled, this chief probably would not have shown up and would have driven Ye Kang away directly.

Ye Kang had already prepared for this, so he didn't say much and directly took out a jar of Fengbo Brew: "Fellow Daoist, why don't you try my special spiritual wine first? Perhaps it will change your mind."

Chief Liejun pondered for a moment, but did not refuse.

The Liejun clan enjoys drinking, especially strong liquor, but because their brewing skills are average, they haven't developed any special spirit liquor products. Since the other party offered it to them, he was quite interested.

At that time, deep down, he still felt disdain.

Ordinary spirit wine couldn't impress him.

Thinking this, Chief Liejun picked up the jar and drank it all in one gulp, leaving not a single drop.

Ye Kang was completely dumbfounded; this guy was a total drunkard!

He didn't even have a chance to say a word before the wine jar was empty.

Chief Liejun also showed a look of unfinished business.

Human brewing techniques are indeed impressive, far surpassing the wine produced in their tribe.

But that's all there is to it; you can't expect to achieve anything with just this wine...

As soon as his thoughts came to him, his body suddenly felt a burning sensation, and an impulse arose abruptly.

Seeing this, Ye Kang transmitted his voice at the opportune moment: "Fellow Daoist, this wine is called Storm Brew, and it has some aphrodisiac effects."

Chief Liejun's eyes widened instantly, both angry and somewhat shocked.

The aphrodisiac effects of this wine are so powerful that they can even affect him, a powerful cultivator who has returned to the True Nature realm.

With the die already cast, he couldn't afford to say much more and could only hurriedly say, "Take these two distinguished guests for a stroll and a rest. I'll come back later."

Before his clansmen could react, Chief Liejun had already vanished in a flash.

A moment later, a loud and passionate neighing of wild horses rang out, echoing across the entire grassland.

The tribespeople looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

What's wrong with the clan leader?

Why are you in such high spirits today, neglecting even your guests?

Of course, they only dared to speculate, and hurriedly and respectfully led Ye Kang and Ye Meijue into the heart of the grassland, wandering around and experiencing the grassland scenery.

Ye Kang wasn't in a hurry; he just smiled slightly. Ye Meijue was speechless and secretly rolled her eyes at Ye Kang.

This guy must have done it on purpose!

He wasn't afraid of backfiring and incurring the displeasure of Chief Liejun.
