Chapter 741: Who Can Save You?!

Whoosh! Yue Zilong held onto Hao Ren while entering the large array formation of the Dragon God Shrine.

The arenas and tents were all destroyed with Yue Zilong’s stomp, and all that was left was ruins.

However, the central black Dragon God Shrine stood there in pride.

Yue Zilong held onto Hao Ren by his collar, and they flew in from the west. Because they were flying so fast, they looked like a ghostly shadow. Then, they flew toward the top of the Dragon God Shrine.

Bam!

Yue Zilong let go of Hao Ren and threw him into the deepest room.

“Shrine Master, I have captured Hao Ren,” Yue Zilong said calmly.

“Ok.” That figure who had his back facing Hao Ren and Yue Zilong nodded calmly.

He lifted his hand, and the inspector’s token by Hao Ren’s waist flew up on its own. Then, Hao Ren felt an agonizing pain on his forehead, and the inspector mark on his forehead disappeared.

The Shrine Master had removed Hao Ren from his role as an inspector.

“Zilong, you don’t need to be that mad, it’s not your fault. It’s only natural for one to want to save their parents. This was a test. Since he couldn’t past the test, that’s that,” the Shrine Master said.

“Understood, Shrine Master,” Yue Zilong looked down and responded.

Zhen Congming had sneaked into the Dragon God Shrine and stole a lot of things. On this issue, they believed that Hao Ren didn’t conspire with Zhen Congming. However, Hao Ren’s dad had created huge trouble for the Dragon Tribe in the mortal world.

It seemed like the Shrine Master had wanted to promote Hao Ren, so Yue Zilong had helped Hao Ren a lot in East Ocean City. They had fulfilled Hao Ren’s requests and had even given him quite a lot of realm-breaking notes.

If Hao Ren had adequately dealt with this situation, he might have been able to be promoted to the position of Deputy Shrine Master in the future. However, Hao Ren had severely injured a level 3 inspector, and he wasn’t able to leave his mortal life behind. In a sense, he had destroyed his own path to success.

Yue Zilong was frustrated because of this reason.

He had followed the Shrine Master for many years, and he could tell that the Shrine Master felt sorry for the loss of talent.

“Put him away.” the Shrine Master waved his hand without turning around.

“Understood,” Yue Zilong bowed before walking two steps and grabbing Hao Ren.

When Yue Zilong was about to walk out of the room, the Shrine Master added, “We still haven’t solved this issue. There might be a great fight soon, so be prepared.”

“Ok!” Yue Zilong paused for a second before resuming, and he held onto Hao Ren and walked toward the spiraling staircase.

Then, they went into the middle section of the Dragon God Shrine and opened up the dark Heavenly Prison.

The Heavenly Prison was where criminals who committed serious offenses were locked. Since they were powerful, the local dragon clans couldn’t even deal with them.

Yue Zilong held Hao Ren and entered the Heavenly Prison corridor. When the stone door opened, the prisoners who were trapped there started shouting.

Bam!

Yue Zilong unleashed his peak Qian-level aura, and prison turned silent.

No one wanted to be beaten by a peak Qian-level cultivator.

The Dragon God Shrine wouldn’t execute any of its prisoners, but these prisoners were sometimes used for combat practice by the inspectors.

The sentences were based on the severity of the crimes committed. The shortest sentence was 50 years while the longest was an eternity.

The prison was dead silence.

All the prisoners stared at Hao Ren from their cells.

Hao Ren was still wearing his inspector robe, but they couldn’t see his token by his waist.

Those three metal-elemental dragons who had their tails cut off were locked up in connecting cells.

When they saw Hao Ren, hatred filled their eyes.

“Hahaha… who knew that you’d have such a day!”

In the corner of a dark cell, Black Wolf, who was now very thin, laughed in his hoarse voice as he kept banging on the bars and making huge noises.

These banging noises echoed through the prison.

The other criminals were stirred up as well. Seeing an inspector who was supposed to catch them getting locked up, they felt an indescribable joy, and they started to shout and make echoes.

Yue Zilong moved both his hands outward, and all the prisoners immediately fell back and hit the walls.

The prison was dead silent again.

Creak! Yue Zilong opened a cell and threw Hao Ren in.

Zhen Congming was locked in the cell on the other side of Hao Ren.

Those prisoners whose realms were high and were incredibly dangerous were locked in individual cells. Hao Ren and Zhen Congming both committed serious crimes, so they were locked up individually.

Yue Zilong turned around coldly and left.

The heavy stone door shut slowly, and the prison was even darker. Not a bit of nature essence could be sensed.

Wet straws were laying on the floor. Hao Ren wanted to use his fire-elemental nature essence to dry the straws, but he realized that he couldn’t use his power.

Hao Ren had underestimated Yue Zilong. When he pointed his sword energies at Yue Zilong, who was at peak Qian-level, he had given his natal dharma treasures to Yue Zilong’s hands.

The was not a single bit of natural essence in this room, so it was impossible to recover his power.

Zhen Congming looked at Hao Ren from his cell across the corridor.

Hao Ren looked back at Zhen Congming, and both of them didn’t say a word.

He had felt that this might be a test from the Dragon God Shrine, but he could not let Qin Shaoyang hurt his family.

Qin Shaoyang had taken this mission because he hated Hao Ren, and Hao Ren struck back because he also hated Qin Shaoyang.

No matter what the Dragon God Shrine wanted, Hao Ren would not let his family be in any danger. Hao Ren was not willing to risk his family’s safety!

All sorts of shouts and curses sounded in the dark prison once again.

Hao Ren sat down as he tried to block out the noise. Then, he closed his eyes and started to recall the Mystic Water Sword Technique in his mind.

There were strong array formations in all the cells of the Heavenly Prison. If a prisoner tried to use nature essence to destroy the cell, a stronger lightning bolt would crash down.

There was nothing to do other than shouting at each other because they couldn’t leave, cultivate, or kill themselves.

It was hard not to go crazy in such an environment for a long period.

Zhen Congming didn’t expect Hao Ren to be this calm when he saw Hao Ren closing his eyes.

Zhen Congming didn’t know that Little White had become a level 6 spirit beast and was able to transform into a loli. As long as Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn’t attack them, Little White could withstand most strikes.

The golden shield didn’t follow Hao Ren, so it probably was able to escape and get help. Hao Ren believed that Little White could protect his family when it got home.

Zhen Congming sat in his cell cross-legged; he was also not anxious.

The things that he stole from the Dragon God Shrine had all been taken back by the Deputy Shrine Masters, so Zhen Congming was sure that the Dragon God Shrine could only lock him in a few days or maybe at most half a month. They probably only wanted to teach him a lesson.

“I will treat this as a vacation.” Zhen Congming thought as he started to whistle relaxing, but he couldn’t help but miss Wu Luoxue.

In this dark Heavenly Prison, one couldn’t tell between night and day. The prisoners were always screaming, so it was impossible to relax.

There was no set meal time for the prisoners. However, a small amount of nature essence would leak in periodically, and the prisoners would stop shouting for a while and try to absorb the nature essence quickly.

Hao Ren did not care about these prisoners; he wanted to use the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to heal his meridians. He also used his fingers to draw out the first 12 strikes of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques.

He had just entered the Heavenly Prison, so he still had a concept of the flow of time. He felt that only half a day passed by.

Zhen Congming was already sound asleep. He was Qiu Niu’s disciple, so no one dared to do much to him.

Hao Ren knew that Zhen Congming was not only Qiu Niu’s disciple but also grandson, but he had not told Zhen Congming this piece of information yet because it would be shocking to Zhen Congming.

Boom! The stone door of the Heavenly Prison started to open slowly.

Qin Shaoyang who was wearing a long silver robe walked in the corridor slowly.

He looked extremely pale, and his footsteps were very heavy, but there was a shining level 3 inspector’s token by his waist.

He walked deep into the prison and only stopped when he saw Hao Ren who was locked up in the last cell.

“Inspector Hao, how’s it in the Heavenly Prison?” Qin Shaoyang asked Hao Ren with a big grin on his face.

Hao Ren looked up and glared at him before returned to his cultivation.

Qin Shaoyang was at Kun-level, but he still lost to Hao Ren. Hao Ren had no time to even talk to him.

However, Qin Shaoyang was quite lucky not to die even though the energy sword piercing through his chest. From the look on his face, it seemed like he was probably weaker than the level 2 inspectors right now.

“Such a shame; you weren’t able to kill me.” Qin Shaoyang shook his head. “I ate one of the level 5 elixir pills, and it’s called Heavenly Healing Pill. Also, two Deputy Shrine Masters helped me heal, so it’ll be very easy for me to return to Kun-level.”

Hao Ren looked up at Qin Shaoyang again.

This metal-elemental dragon was proud and thought that the Dragon God Shrine valued him. It was indeed rare to have such treatment, but that didn’t necessarily indicate Qin Shaoyang’s value.

Hao Ren felt that his status as Zhen Yuan Zi’s brother had not spread to the Dragon God Shrine yet. However, the Dragon God Shrine probably didn’t want the situation to escalate.

If Qin Shaoyang died, they wouldn’t be able to cover it up.

“Three Senior Brothers, I’ve already tried to beg for mercy from the Shrine Master. You guys should be able to leave soon.” Qin Shaoyang then walked toward the three Metal-elemental dragon cultivators and said politely.

The three Metal-elemental dragon cultivators looked pleased.

They had been locked up by Yue Zilong in the Dragon God Shrine for quite a few days, and the metal-elemental dragon clan didn’t seem to be doing anything; no one seemed to be trying to save them.

They didn’t know that the peak Qian-level, metal-elemental elders were all defeated by Hao Ren when they tried to kidnap him, and Taiyi Cave Master barely escaped from Zhao Kuo’s attacks.

No one in the metal-elemental dragon clan had time to help them out.

When they heard that Qin Shaoyang, the only metal-elemental dragon who was working for the Dragon God Shrine, had talked for them, they were a bit touched.

Qin Shaoyang swaggered to Hao Ren’s cell and demanded: “Tell me where Su Han is!”

Hao Ren didn’t respond.

“Let’s see who can save you from the Heavenly Prison!” Qin Shaoyang raised his voice and glared at Hao Ren.

Boom!

The Heavenly Prison suddenly shook.

“Hehehe… Dragon God Shrine. How dare you capture my son and nephew!”

Lady Zhen’s loud and crisp voice sounded. It was so powerful that it pierced through the thick and heavy block stones and sounded by all the prisoners’ ears.
