“Who would have thought that a stream of the desolation aura could let my saber intent become this powerful.”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.
The Sky-Desolating Saber Art was stronger than he had imagined.
“Come, let’s go to your Bai Clan.”
Qin Nan tapped on Qinglian’s shoulder and said.
The battle that took place had caught the attention of half of the experts in the Royal City. If he still stayed longer, many people would be staring at him.
It would be too much for him to handle.
“Go..?”
Bai Qinglian felt incredibly speechless when he saw the calm expression on Qin Nan’s face.
Go?
He was still planning to go to the Bai Clan?
He still wanted to go there after killing Bai Qi?
Qin Nan was suddenly aware of an aura, prompting him to raise his head and glance upward.
A pitch-black badge emitting a gloomy glow the size of a palm had appeared out of nowhere, floating above them.
Bai Qinglian’s eyes widened when she saw the badge.
BANG BANG BANG.
At that instant, a few loud sounds came from all directions.
It was not the sound of battles, but the sound of some enormous beings stomping the ground.
The cultivators who were immersed in a great shock immediately collected their thoughts, who held their breath after realizing something.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Many figures dashed out from the street, surrounding Qin Nan and Bai Qinglian in the blink of an eye, leaving them with no escape.
Each of them was wearing black armor and holding a magical saber surrounded by an icy aura, staring at Qin Nan with sharp gazes. Their cultivations had reached the seventh-layer Martial Sacred Realm.
At a rough glance, there were at least seventy seventh-layer Martial Sacreds arriving at the scene!
“Mm?”
Qin Nan was startled.
These people had shown themselves as soon as Bai Qi was killed.
It seemed like it was part of the Empress’ conspiracy, that Bai Qi had been sent here just to die.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Nan had guessed most of it right.
However, that was not the end of it.
Whoosh whoosh whoos.h.!.+
Following a few piercing sounds, a man wearing a long black robe with a stern face flew toward them from the distance, followed by fifteen cultivators in dark golden robes with icy gazes.
The fifteen cultivators were ninth-layer Martial Sacreds!
Furthermore, the middle-aged man was at the peak Martial Sacred Realm!
“It’s the Minister of Justice!”
“With such a formidable formation, this young man is going to suffer greatly!”
“What do you think his ending would be when he dared to attack in the Royal City and kill the Young Master of the Bai Clan?”
The crowd could not help but exclaim.
It was their first time witnessing the Minister of Justice lead such a great formation just to detain a single person.
“Vicious murderer, how dare you kill the Bai Clan’s core disciple, Bai Qi, on the street of the Royal City in front of the public. You have committed an unforgivable offense. As the Minister of Justice, I sentence you to five years of torture in the Demon Cage of the Heaven-Earth Prison!”
The Minister of Justice stared at Qin Nan with a sharp gaze as he uttered with a thunderous voice.
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered coldly upon seeing this.
“Demon...Demon Cage?”
Bai Qinglian’s face became pale instantly.
The punishment was more terrifying than what she had imagined.
“What?”
“The Demon Cage?”
“Did I hear it right! He’s being thrown into the Demon Cage!”
“It really exists! I always thought it was only a legend!”
“Once a half-Martial Progenitor Realm expert that caused a ma.s.sacre in the Royal City already went mad within a year after staying inside the Demon Cage, and he’s being sentenced to five years of prison there!”
The surroundings cultivators’ eyes flickered with terror as their hearts were filled with a chill.
The Demon Cage was an absolutely horrifying place in their hearts.
“Oh?”
The coldness in Qin Nan’s eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of curiosity.
When he had first arrived at the Royal City, he had used his eye-technique to observe the entire place, observing the forbidden areas, etc., including the Heaven-Earth Prison where the prisoners were kept.
However, he had yet to see any place like the Demon Cage.
“It’s most likely that the Demon Cage is able to block my vision.”
Qin Nan pondered.
The fact that it could do so implied that the Demon Cage was indeed extraordinary.
Since he was in the midst of the trial, would he find a strong saber intent inside the Demon Cage?
“Se...senior, you’ve misunderstood! It’s Bai Qi, he’s the one that attacked us first. He was trying to kill Qin Nan, that’s why he was forced to defend himself. That’s acceptable by the standard of the law! You can’t just sentence him like that, it isn’t fair!”
Bai Qinglian soon reacted and shouted.
Although she was clueless about the truth, she did feel that something was not right.
“It isn’t fair? I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes. Bai Qi was just trying to have a friendly compet.i.tion with Qin Nan, but he chose to kill him. He’s a murderer! What are you all waiting for, take Qin Nan down. If anyone is to interfere, take them away too!”
The Minister of Justice let out a hollow laugh and waved his hand.
Fair?
Who needed to be fair?
This was the consequence of offending the Empress in the Royal City, regardless of your talent!
The seventy seventh-layer Martial Sacred Realm cultivators acknowledged the order with nods and raised the sabers in their hands as they surrounded Qin Nan.
The fifteen ninth-layer Martial Sacred Realm cultivators began to emit faint sacred auras.
If Qin Nan were to resist, they would strike with lightning speed.
“You——”
Bai Qinglian was infuriated and was on the verge of losing control.
Qin Nan squinted as his right hand began to tremble.
Although the formation was quite scary, he could still manage to escape after unleas.h.i.+ng his Divine Battle Spirit and the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
However, what if he were to miss out on the chance to visit the Demon Cage?
The thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind, which urged him to reach a decision. He withdrew his battle intent and calmly said, “I’ll go with you to the Demon Cage.”
Bai Qinglian was stunned.
Why wasn’t Qin Nan resisting?
This wasn’t his usual behavior.
“Humph, a smart choice. Come with me!”
The Minister of Justice harrumphed as he proceeded forward.
The seventy seventh-layer Martial Sacreds and fifteen ninth-layer Martial Sacreds positioned themselves beside Qin Nan as they moved toward the Heaven-Earth Prison.
Qin Nan’s gaze remained calm as he secretly took out a badge.
Although he was willing to visit the Demon Cage, it did not mean he would forgive them for what they had done.
“The Empress, huh? I shall have some fun with you.”
Qin Nan murmured as he transmitted a message.
“Black Dragon, bring everyone to the Royal City of the Southern Continent!”
