So, let's talk about this villain named Dong Jie that just fearlessly rocked up on Red Bane without notice or previous entanglements. This man wearing robes as bright as neon lights was one of the few half Nocru hired to do tasks people would normally refuse.
This included kidnappings, assassinations and any other morally wrong tasks you can think of. The reason he was successful at what he does was because of his cunning nature and his sister's exceptional skill set.
When they conducted a prison break job such as this they used a similar strategy. He would serve as the distraction while his sister acquired the target. But the first thing to do would be to draw everyone's attention towards him.
This is why he froze Xunshi Zhe before dropping the anchor drawing everyone's attention. The effect was only temporary but it was enough time for his accomplice to get Qilin Kai out.
