Apart from Chen Changli, everyone including the empress Bai Ling, the Prime Minister Bai Xiangsheng, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Martial Arts, the Minister of Academics, and the remaining misters were completely dumbfounded.
They did not expect the Emperor was there to help Qin Nan.
The ministers immediately regretted their decision. If they had known the truth, they would have kept to their first intention, as not only would they return the favor of the Black Dragon, they would be on the Emperorās side too.
The people who regretted the most were without a doubt the empress Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the Minister of Justice.
Offending the Emperor and the National General just for a mere Qin Nan was absolutely not worth it.
āEmperor, for your information, there was no need for you to be involved. Unfortunately, the Empress and the others have been stopping me from freeing Qin Nan. Besides, according to my understanding, Qin Nan only fought back as Bai Qi had brought five eighth-layer Martial Sacred Realm experts to kill him, thus he accidentally killed Bai Qiā¦ā
Chen Changli glanced at Bai Ling and her crew scornfully before bringing his fists together and saying.
As a matter of fact, Chen Changli preferred the Emperor to not be involved, which would allow him to attack the Ministry of Justice with his people and rescue Qin Nan. Not only would Qin Nan owe him a favor, but he would also be angrier with the empress and the others.
Now that the Emperor was here, he had no chance to carry out his plan, as no one was dumb enough to fall for it now.
Wang Liyanās gaze became cold but he still wore a smile on his face as he spoke, āThis Qin Nan is indeed a great talent, able to defeat six people on his own. Minister of Justice, what are you waiting for?ā\nāAlā¦alrightā¦Iāll release him at once.ā
The Minister of Justice collected his thoughts and nodded in a panic, before hurrying toward the Heaven-Earth Jail.
As for the empress Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the others, they remained in place awkwardly, clueless as to what to say. They could only react according to the situation after Qin Nan was released.
ā¦Meanwhile, in the corridor leading to the Demon Cageā¦
Ten cultivators were guarding it with impatient looks.
āI donāt understand, why is there a need for us to guard the place? Anyone who enters the Demon Cage is surely dead!ā
āThatās right, what a waste of time.ā
They took turns to express their complaints. However, they were shocked when they saw a figure rushing toward them and immediately straightened their figures.
āMinister!ā
The cultivators were confused.
What was the minister doing here?
āQuick! Open the Demon Cage! If Iām in any trouble for being late, Iāll make you all pay!ā
The Minister of Justice yelled.
The cultivators were dumbfounded hearing this.
Why was he releasing Qin Nan all of a sudden?
The ten cultivators reacted swiftly since they had no time to hesitate. They took out their badges and inserted their sacred force into it, causing the formation on the giant door nearby to emit an orange glow.
This implied that the entrance was opened, thus allowing the people inside to exit through the door.
āCultivatorā¦Cultivator Qin Nanā¦heheā¦According to my investigations, itās discovered that you were only defending yourself, thus it has been decided that youāre not guilty. Youāre free to leave now.ā The Minister of Justice went up and forced a smile onto his face.
āOh, I hear you. This isnāt a bad place at all, I wonāt be leaving any time soon.ā Qin Nanās calm voice replied.
The Minister of Justiceās expression stiffened.\nThe place wasnāt bad?
The Demon Cage wasnāt a bad place?
This guy was doing it on purpose!
Despite being furious, the Minister of Justice did not dare to show his anger. It was clear how terrifying Qin Nanās background was since he was able to make the Emperor, the Nation General, and the others appear in person and speak out for his sake.
The Minister of Justice took a deep breath, lowering his stance as much as possible as he said with a hint of pleading, āCultivator Qin Nan, why donāt you come out from there? Iāll remember your kindness, and give you a Crimson Dragon Ginseng to compensate you for your loss.ā
The ten cultivators were left with blank faces.
Was this still the Minister of Justice they knew?
āDo you remember how I asked you to not involve Bai Qinglian? I did mention that Iād make you regret it. You want me to go out now? Very simpleābeg me.ā Qin Nan let out a hollow laugh in the Demon Cage.
Detaining him and releasing him as they wished. Who did they think they were?
He had ended up being sent into jail even though all he had done was decline the Empressā offer. As such, there was no way he would resolve the situation without teaching them a lesson.
āBegā¦beg you? The Minister of Justice subconsciously wanted to be enraged, but when he recalled the current situation, he instantly withheld the anger in his heart and said while clenching his teeth, āCultivator Qin Nanā¦Iā¦I beg youā¦ā
āOh, it wonāt change my mind.ā Qin Nan said with an expressionless face.
āYou!ā
Green veins popped out on the Minister of Justiceās forehead.
This guy was making fun of him.
āStop annoying me, begone.ā
Qin Nan said coldly.
The Minister of Justiceās expression flushed with anger. He stood there for a while, before turning around and leaving.\nHe had completely regretted his decision now.
If he were given another chance, there was no way he would be willing to offend this troublemaker.
A moment later, in the main hall of the Ministry of Justiceā¦
The Minister of Justice immediately grabbed the attention of the crowd as he re-entered the hall.
āWhere is he?ā
Wang Liyan said with a frown, as if he were about to become furious.
He had already come in person, but these people still dared to keep Qin Nan in custody?
Empress Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the rest were startled too.
āEmpā¦Emperorā¦ā The Minister of Justice felt like crying as he had no choice but to explain under the crowdās gaze, āQin Nanā¦Qin Nan says heās enjoying himself in the Demon Cageā¦Heās not willing to come out!ā
The authorities were stunned hearing this.
Only Chen Changliās eyes flickered. The fact that Qin Nan was not willing to come out meant that he was infuriated. It was most likely that the Empress and her crew were doomed even without him doing anything further.
Wang Liyan was stunned too, who burst out laughing, āHow amusing, it has been a while since our Southern Continent has someone interesting like him. Someone bring me to the Demon Cage, Iāll ask him in person.ā
āYes!ā
Two of the guards immediately responded.
With Wang Liyan leading the way, the authorities of the Southern Continent proceeded toward the Demon Cage.
However, little did Wang Liyan and the others know that meanwhile at the boundaries of the Southern Continentā¦
BANG!
Following a huge explosion, a giant Monarch Weapon vessel with an appearance similar to that of a giant black dragon tore the space apart and descended, causing the ground within a hundred li of it to crack as a terrifying gust of wind swept the surroundings.\nMany figures were standing on it, who were the people of the Black Dragon.
Although their cultivations were suppressed in the Southern Continent, their auras were still extremely terrifying.
āReport, five members of the Black Dragon have just arrived at the Royal City.ā
One of the cultivators came up and said to the leader of the Black Dragon.
āMm, well done. Spread the word, full speed ahead so we can arrive at our destination as soon as possible. Furthermore, tell everyone to prepare for a great massacre.ā
