Draconic Penitentiary
"Go! Let's go out and have a look! "
Lifeless Thorn said after a moment of hesitation.
"Should we report this to the Lord?"
Chi Jin said hesitantly.
The Lord he spoke of was naturally Lifeless Thorn's father, Jing Zhankuang, a Tier 9 Dragon.
"No need."
Lifeless Thorn shook his head calmly. He then led Crimson Gold and the robust man away, leaving behind a group of despairing people bound by chains.
The calm young man was startled, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
At the city gate.
Both Lifeless Thorn and Chi Jin were shocked when they saw Ning Qi. Although Ning Qi was standing in his original spot with a smile on his face, the faintly discernible Dou Sheng aura around him caused their hearts to palpitate.
"Young Master Jing, long time no see."
Ning Qi smiled and cupped his hands.
"Sect Master Ning, you flatter me!"
Lifeless Thorn hurriedly returned the greeting.
"Eh? Is that Lifeless Thorn? "
"That's right, it's him. I recognize the Scarlet Gold beside him, it's a rank eight dragon!"
"Why is he so polite to that human?"
"Sect Master Ning … Which sect's Sect Master is it that the Dragon Clan, who has always had their eyes on the top of their heads, is so polite to him?"
The nearby humans involuntarily stopped in their tracks and looked over.
"I hope that Young Master Jing can do me a small favor today. As for the reward, how about five Dragon Blood Fruits?"
Ning Qi got straight to the point with a smile.
Lifeless Thorn's expression froze for a moment before he laughed dryly and said, "Sect Master Ning, with your current strength, what else do you need my help with? What a joke. "
At this point, however, Lifeless Thorn noticed that Ning Qi's expression was serious. It didn't seem as if Ning Qi had come to tease him. His expression grew serious as he asked, "Do you really need my help?"
"Yes."
Nodding, Ning Qi casually tossed five Dragonblood Fruits to Lifeless Thorn. His casual action made it seem as if he had tossed out five ordinary stones.
Startled, Lifeless Thorn hurriedly accepted the Dragonblood Fruit and examined it. When he sensed a dense Bloodline aura coming from it, he immediately stored it in his Universe Ring.
"Sect Leader Ning, please tell me what you need my help with. However, if you want my Redbud Dragon Tribe to go to the three great dragon tribes to plead for your Cloud Rising Sect, I'm afraid that my words do not carry much weight and will not be able to help you. Even if my tribe's Dragon Emperor personally comes forward, the three great dragon emperors will not give him any face."
Lifeless Thorn calmly replied.
Cloud Rising Sect?
Sect Master Ning?
At this moment, all the spectators, be they dragons or humans, gasped and looked at Ning Qi in shock.
Could this person be Ning Beixuan, the only influential figure in Dongxuan during this period of time?
"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to plead on my behalf."
Ning Qi smiled faintly, "I want to go to the Draconic Penitentiary. This won't be too difficult for you, right?"
Enter the Draconic Penitentiary?
A trace of doubt flashed in Lifeless Thorn's eyes, but he immediately nodded and said, "It's a simple matter. However, may I know why Sect Master Ning has entered the Draconic Penitentiary?"
"Haha."
Ning Qi looked at Lifeless Thorn with a faint smile, not answering.
When Lifeless Thorn saw this, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just being curious. Alright, I won't ask anymore. It just so happens that a group of ignorant slaves is about to be locked up in the Draconic Penitentiary. If Sect Master Ning doesn't mind, you can come with them."
"Let's go, then."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
On the way to the Imperial Palace, Lifeless Thorn tried to guess Ning Qi's purpose in visiting the Draconic Penitentiary. Why would Ning Qi give him five Dragon Blood Fruits?
However, no matter how hard Lifeless Thorn tried, he couldn't figure out Ning Qi's intentions.
If he knew that Ning Qi didn't care about the Dragon Blood Fruits at all and had only given him five Dragon Blood Fruits on a whim, he wouldn't have felt so distressed.
"Why are you locking up so many slaves? How did they offend you? "
Ning Qi asked curiously when he saw the group of humans bound by chains.
Lifeless Thorn replied, "They are the workers of one of my mines. They have secretly taken a lot of my cultivation resources. Out of consideration for our past relationship, I didn't kill them on the spot."
Lifeless Thorn had explained the situation in such detail purely because he didn't want Ning Qi to meddle in his business. However, it seemed that he was overthinking things. Ning Qi simply nodded and ignored Lifeless Thorn. However, when his gaze met one of the young men, Ning Qi couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
When the young man saw Ning Qi, his expression changed drastically.
"Sect Master Ning, do you know him?"
Lifeless Thorn asked, frowning.
Laughing, Ning Qi said, "Of course I know him. Speaking of which, he's my big brother in name, right? Ning Yan? "
This young man was none other than Ning Hongtian's eldest son, Ning Yan, whom Ning Qi hadn't seen for many years!
Ever since Ning Qi had learned that he wasn't Ning Hongtian's biological son, Ning Yan, he hadn't paid much attention to Ning Yan. He hadn't expected to see him here today.
"Sect Master Ning's big brother? That's like a flood rushing against a dragon king's temple. Pure Gold, release him. "
Surprise flashed in Lifeless Thorn's eyes as he smiled faintly.
"No need."
Ning Qi waved his hand and smiled at Ning Yan. "Since he made a mistake, he should be punished accordingly. Am I right, Ning Yan?"
Ning Yan coldly glared at Ning Qi, snorting as he lowered his head in silence.
"Let's go, then."
Lifeless Thorn chuckled. He had seen too many conflicts between families. Aside from the humans, such conflicts would occasionally occur in the Dragon Race.
For example, his younger brother, Jing Wusun, had always wanted to surpass him. Lifeless Thorn knew this, but he didn't want to bring it up in public.
A short time later, the group arrived at the entrance to the Draconic Penitentiary.
The two Purple Thorns Dragon Seniors that Ning Qi had met last time were guarding the entrance. When they saw Lifeless Thorn, they merely opened their eyes slightly, and the Heaven's Wrath around the Draconic Penitentiary's entrance instantly disappeared. Ning Qi was somewhat disappointed. He had wanted to see if he could endure the Heaven's Wrath with his current physical body.
With an Advanced Titan Bloodline and the War God's Body, the Heaven's Wrath shouldn't be able to deal much damage to me. In other words, I can enter and leave the Draconic Penitentiary as I please.
Ning Qi muttered inwardly.
"Sect Master Ning, please."
Lifeless Thorn smiled at Ning Qi.
"Mhm."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded before entering the Draconic Penitentiary. Ning Yan's subordinates immediately knelt and begged Lifeless Thorn to give them another chance. In the end, Pure Gold kicked them all into the Draconic Penitentiary. Following which, the Heaven's Wrath reignited once more.
Just as Lifeless Thorn was about to turn around and leave, he noticed an arm sticking out of the Draconic Penitentiary. Even the two Purple Thorns Dragon Seniors opened their eyes in shock. A moment later, the arm retracted as if it had never been there.
"This … This … This is that guy's arm?!"
Pure Gold was dumbfounded.
