My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Ji Yuan didn't linger there any longer and, carrying Hanabi on his back, headed out. Just as he stepped outside, he came face to face with Kagami.

Upon seeing Ji Yuan carrying Hanabi, she frowned, wondering what he was planning to do. Before she could ask, Ji Yuan told Kagami about the situation.

"Alright, in that case, you go to the Prison first, I'll be there shortly."

After listening to Ji Yuan's account of the situation, Jing Liu nodded and urged Ji Yuan to go over first.

Just as Ji Yuan was about to leave, Jing Liu earnestly said to Ji Yuan, "Ji Yuan, if you go first, remember not to kill Shu Hu completely. Let me at least finish him off with a couple more sword strikes."

Ji Yuan: "..."

He listened, somewhat speechless. Who was that person? That was the Envoy of Abundance, even if he had just been resurrected. Forget killing him, he might not even be able to defeat him in a fight.

Even if they had fought, killing him was another matter entirely. Not to mention eliminating Shuhu before Jingliu arrived. It was simply impossible.

Seeing Ji Yuan's speechless expression, Jing Liu smiled and said to him, "Others may not be able to, but aren't you the kind of person who can create miracles? I believe you might actually have the ability to quickly resolve something as simple as 'Shūhū'."

"Then you'd better hurry up."

Seeing this, Ji Yuan said nothing more and, carrying Hua Huo on his back, flew quickly towards the direction of the Youqiu Prison.

During the flight, Hanabi was anything but still, gently rubbing her heels against Himemoto's lower abdomen. She even tried to tickle Himemoto's waist with a little more force. Luckily, Himemoto wasn't ticklish, otherwise Hanabi's antics would have surely caused him to fall from the sky.

Seeing that Hanabi was still trying to seduce him, Ji Yuan could no longer bear it and reached out to give Hanabi a hard slap on the buttocks. Hanabi couldn't help but cry out in pain, and after the cry, she exaggeratedly and dramatically hummed a couple of coquettish groans.

But at least they've calmed down.

Ji Yuan and Hanabi arrived at the Youju Prison.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Prison of Imprisonment, they witnessed a fierce battle.

Thousands of elite Buli warriors infiltrated the area in front of the Prison of the Wandering Souls. Each Buli warrior was over four meters tall, far superior to ordinary Buli warriors. Although the Cloud Cavalry was also composed of elite troops, and even had Jin soldiers to assist them, they were still outnumbered and surrounded.

The most crucial barrier of the Dark Prison had been broken at some point, revealing the interior of the prison.

Ji Yuan frowned upon seeing this.

He was still too late.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan quickly drew his flying sword and unleashed it on the surrounding Bu Li people:

"Flying sword, cut!"

A series of cold, gleaming flying swords transformed into white streaks, slashing straight towards Bu Liren. As the swords passed, countless Bu Liren were cut in two.

After relieving the pressure on the immortal ship outside, Ji Yuan couldn't wait to rush inside.

The moment he stepped into the prison, a dark figure charged at him. Ji Yuan didn't dodge, but let the shadow get close. However, once it was close, he used his left hand to block the shadow's outstretched claw, and then slammed his right fist down hard.

"Cun Jin·Open the Sky!"

In his current state, Ji Yuan used his full force to slam the dark figure far away. A series of crisp sounds of bones cracking rang out as the attacker landed heavily in the light.

This was a Bu Liren whose physique was in no way inferior to that of Na Angqin, whom Ji Yuan had fought before. Moreover, a cunning glint shone in his wolf head, as if he were about to devise some kind of conspiracy.

Is this another leader of the Bu Liren?

No, to be precise, it's the guy who secretly controls Bu Liren's situation.

At this moment, the man got up, staggered a few times, and then fell down again.

Looking at Ji Yuan, he asked in astonishment:

"who are you?"

"Just a mere maritime trade official."

Ji Yuan casually mentioned his least noteworthy identity.

Hearing his words, Huohua, who was still on Ji Yuan's back, couldn't help but sneer. It was unclear whether she was mocking Bu Liren, who knew nothing, or Ji Yuan, who was deliberately putting on an act.

Bu Liren on the other side clearly didn't believe him. He struggled to his feet and roared as if he was about to attack Ji Yuan again. However, his attack was only halfway done when his feet twisted 180 degrees, and he fled into the depths of the Youju Prison.

This person was really going all out to escape, twisting his legs into a pretzel shape – something not everyone could do.

Unfortunately, his plan was well-thought-out, but it was of little use against Ji Yuan. Seeing his attempt to escape, Ji Yuan instantly reached out and sent a bolt of Imperial Jade straight towards him.

The Imperial Jade Pendant pierced through this guy's body.

As it pierced through the guy, a sudden burst of ice appeared, freezing him solid.

Even after doing all this, Ji Yuan still felt a deep sense of unease.

"Hopefully, we've stopped him. If Shuhu were to be resurrected, things would become much more serious..."

He thought in his mind.

only,

Some things don't happen the way he envisions.

Jiuwu Ling Yi Ba Ling Jiu Another

Just as he was praying, a series of exclamations came from outside. It seemed that something had happened.

Ji Yuan quickly used his soft sword to restrain Bu Liren and hurried outside.

Upon arriving outside, Ji Yuan noticed a tree standing outside the prison.

And they are moving at a rapid pace.

Yes,

It's hard to understand, but this tree is definitely moving.

Its branches constantly extend from the ground and then take root there. And on that trunk, there seem to be a million faces.

Disgusting, extremely disgusting.

This was Ji Yuan's first impression of him.

The reactions of the Bu Liren and the Cloud Cavalry were completely different from those of Ji Yuan. The Bu Liren, seeing this, were filled with surprise and delight. Some even expressed more admiration than surprise.

The Cloud Cavalry soldiers looked on with either confusion or fear, their expressions showing a general sense of unfamiliarity with the trees that had appeared.

As Ji Yuan gazed at the giant tree, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Soon, he will be able to identify the guy in front of him.

In a flash.

Abundant harvests are swift and fleeting.

Even with meticulous preparation, Ji Yuan still couldn't prevent his resurrection.

"Suddenly?"

Ji Yuan shouted sternly at the tree.

At this moment, the tree slowly spoke, its tone revealing a sense of pride.

"I thought that after being imprisoned for so long, no one on the Luofu Immortal Ship would recognize me. But you, a lone individual, actually know me. I'll give you a chance to surrender."

As he spoke, his form continued to grow larger. Soon, a colossal tree, a thousand meters tall, appeared in everyone's sight. At the same time, numerous branches sprouted from the ground, piercing the bodies of Bu Liren and the Cloud Cavalry who hadn't managed to dodge in time. Shu Hu was in the initial stage of resurrection, and was currently extremely lacking in energy. His branches pierced through those bodies to absorb their energy.

"Surrender? Even if the ancestor of the plague appeared before me in person, I would not make that choice."

Seeing Shuhu's behavior, Ji Yuan said to him with a cold smile.

Gripping his longsword tightly, he channeled his energy to launch a sudden attack.

The battle was swift and decisive; he had to do it today.

On the other side, upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, he suddenly flew into a rage:

"Disrespecting a pharmacist deserves to die."

After Ji Yuan said these words, countless vines and branches appeared around him.

Ji Yuan swung his longsword, and the icy sword energy flashed, freezing and shattering the branches that were suddenly released.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Yuan put the fireworks aside.

Before putting it down, he added, "You should hide to the side for now. I don't care what your plans are, you have to survive to succeed."

"Yeah, don't worry, I still have a lot of fun to do, nothing will go wrong."

Hanabi smiled and nodded in assurance.

After saying this, Ji Yuan turned his gaze back to the Abundance Envoy, Shuhu, intending to launch another attack on him.

On the other side, seeing the sword energy released by Ji Yuan, his anger suddenly surged again.

"What's your relationship with that woman? And what's your relationship with those five guys?"

He said sternly.

If what happened hundreds of years ago was a tragic event, then suddenly he felt like a clown in another drama. He, a mere envoy, was nearly annihilated by five non-envoys. It was undeniably ironic.

Suddenly, upon his resurrection, he harbored a desire to kill the five—no, the four still alive—who had harmed him in the past. Now, those four hadn't appeared; instead, another person was displaying the swordsmanship of the woman with the most superior swordsmanship among the five.

This angered Shuhu, who then asked Ji Yuan where those people were.

Upon hearing Shuhu's words, Ji Yuan remained silent, instead unleashing an attack belonging to the Dragon Lord with a wave of his right hand. The massive dragon-shaped energy hurtled straight towards Shuhu's body, further escalating Shuhu's already rising anger.

"It seems that what I should do now is to pierce your body and use it as the best nourishment for my recovery."

Suddenly, he spoke in a cold voice, and the branches transformed into a huge cage, enveloping all of Ji Yuan's space within it.

Seeing Ji Yuan trapped in the cage he controlled, all the faces on that tree suddenly laughed. But the next second, Ji Yuan suddenly appeared behind Shu Hu, his long sword trembling, the icy sword energy slashing fiercely across Shu Hu's body.

Suddenly, he was startled by Ji Yuan's attack.

No,

How did this guy do that? I clearly saw that my branches had him under control.

Ji Yuan looked at the bewildered Shuhu and laughed inwardly, while silently putting away the teleportation device on his body.

He swung his longsword, fiercely slashing the icy sword energy at Shuhu.

His body was instantly slashed open with countless mottled and crisscrossing wounds by Ji Yuan, a truly gruesome sight. The Yunqi soldiers on the ground, witnessing this, couldn't help but cheer.

Victory, even if it's a sudden resurrection, so what? We can still take care of him.

While the Cloud Cavalry were overjoyed, Ji Yuan's face showed little happiness. Within his sight, his body, which had been momentarily frozen, quickly returned to normal.

"How is it? Are you surprised?"
