County prison, third floor.
Rustling sounds echoed out.
The two people fumbled around for a while.
"Boss, I can’t find the chanism!"
"Don’t rush, keep looking!"
In the blink of an eye.
Another half an hour passed.
"It’s not working, can’t find it!" the man’s voice rang out.
"Boss, what do we do now?" the woman’s voice followed.
"No rush! It’s normal to not find a way to open the fourth floor prison door; this ti we’re just familiarizing ourselves! Once we leave, find a prison head in the dark and ask!"
"Alright, I’ll follow your lead, boss!"
Suddenly.
Bang! Bang!
The dull sound of chains lightly colliding echoed clearly in the silent third floor of the county prison.
"Who!!" The man instantly barked lowly.
"Could it be that prisoner just now?" the woman’s voice suggested pointedly.
Then, Jiang Ning heard their approaching footsteps.
The footsteps stopped outside the cell and fell silent.
At the sa ti, he felt two stares landing on him.
"Leader?" the woman lowered her voice.
Once her voice dropped, those two stares turned vicious in an instant.
Whizz! Whizz——
The sharp sound of sothing breaking through the air rang out instantly.
Clang! Clang——
Sparks flashed.
The sound of silver needles hitting the chains echoed.
"You’re not asleep after all!"
"Since that’s the case, we can’t let you live!!"
The voice was filled with murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning sighed deeply.
"Is there any need?"
He raised his finger, True Yuan burst forth, breaking through the air.
Swish——
Swish——
In the darkness, the two opened their eyes wide, filled with disbelief.
He never expected that as an esteed Fifth Grade strong person, he would die so easily in the obscure prison.
At the brink of death, a wave of regret flashed through him.
Thud——
Thud——
The next mont, the two collapsed limply onto the ground.
Life quickly faded, red and white fluids flowed from the holes in their foreheads.
In an instant, all breath was gone.
"If we let them out, more slaughter is inevitable!"
Thinking about their conversation just now, Jiang Ning shook his head secretly.
Then, a thought flashed by.
His gaze turned to his feet.
"According to their speculations, beneath lies a Grandmaster who is Long Xingyun, a descendant of one of the Eighteen Dragon Heads from a hundred years ago, possessing Prince Mi’s treasure map!"
A thought flashed by.
He brought his right index and middle fingers together, dragged the thick iron chain to his brow.
Gently rubbed.
Suddenly.
His brow emitted a bright light.
A white vertical mark erged.
From within the mark, dazzling brilliance seeped out continuously, resembling mist and clouds.
Seemingly about to open at any mont.
As his fingers dropped, his gaze penetrated the barriers at his feet, seeing the fourth floor of the county prison.
He also saw the pool full of rcury, saw the burly man with disheveled hair in the pool.
Saw the man tightly bound by six iron chains.
These six iron chains restrained his limbs, pierced his shoulder blades, binding him firmly within the rcury pool.
"Based on their words, this man is nad Long Xingyun, a descendant of one of the Eighteen Dragon Heads from a hundred years ago, now hiding the treasure map of Prince Mi!"
Jiang Ning thought silently.
Then, with a hint of contemplation.
"If he truly possesses Prince Mi’s treasure map, if it really is on him, I believe Xiao Bieli would have searched thoroughly by now!"
"Most likely, he hid the treasure map sowhere only he knows!"
In his heart, Jiang Ning speculated silently.
Afterward, he shook his head again.
"Not necessarily!"
"People can hide things in many places on their bodies!"
His mind instantly thought of various smuggling thods learned in past lives, no thod was impossible, only unimagined.
Recalling this.
His gaze fell on the burly man, instantly seeing through his entire body.
"Indeed so!!"
With concentrated expression, his gaze pierced through flesh and bones, instantly seeing abnormalities within.
Placed in his heart was a small jade plaque.
The jade plaque was roughly one inch in size.
"Jade plaque, not a treasure map?" Jiang Ning’s eyes revealed confusion.
Then, his expression beca clearer.
"Of course! Treasure map, was rely their assumption!"
"Even if there truly is Prince Mi’s treasure, it might not co in the form of a map."
"And this jade plaque, even if it isn’t Prince Mi’s treasure map, it must be sothing crucial!"
"Otherwise, why would a Grandmaster hide it within his heart chamber!"
Reflecting on this, Jiang Ning secretly admired the burly man.
To hide an inch-long jade plaque within the heart, extrely ruthless.
Even as a Grandmaster, with strong vitality, the heart ceases to be a fatal spot.
But hiding such an item within the heart, not only brings excruciating pain, but also limits his power.
Moreover, in the perpetually dark fourth floor of the county prison, imprisoning him alone is among the harshest penalties on earth.
This penalty makes living less preferable than dying!
Yet this burly man clearly achieved keeping silent, not just a hard man.
"If this jade plaque is Prince Mi’s treasure map, then I surely must find a way to obtain it!"
"True Dragon’s Treasure Blood, containing Heaven and Earth Spirit chanism, is a rare Heavenly Human Grandmaster key!"
At this mont, Jiang Ning has made up his mind.
However, he’s not in a rush now.
The arrival of those two, will surely stir so movent in the prison tomorrow.
He also plans to secretly observe for a while.
The Grandmaster has been imprisoned on the fourth floor of the county prison for so many days, Jiang Ning isn’t in a hurry over a day or two.
In the darkness.
Jiang Ning’s gaze fell again on the two corpses at the prison door.
"Should I destroy the evidence?" He contemplates this issue.
After pondering for a long while, he slowly shook his head.
