Chapter 432
…
This was the first large-scale prisoner riot and escape since the establishment of Xingyu. Even though they knew they would be punished, the senior officials of the Northern Prison did not dare to delay for a moment and reported it immediately. The news soon reached Huo Qi's ears.
When Huo Qi heard the news that Ze Jiu brought him in a hurry, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and pondered for a moment, then looked up at the dark universe in the distance, his phoenix eyes full of depth.
"Master, you can't leave here. Do you need me to go to the Northern Prison immediately to handle this matter?"
Ze Jiu silently complained in his heart: At this moment, the entire fleet is on an important journey to find the missing Miss Mu Jiao. Such a thing happened at this time. The entire Prison No. 9 rioted collectively, and many prisoners escaped. Such a big mistake happened. I don’t know what those guys in the Northern Prison are doing. They came to make trouble for their master at this time.
"I'll go myself."
Hearing Huo Qi's words, Ze Jiu was surprised. His master had been searching for Miss Mu Jiao almost non-stop during this period of time, and had never asked about such an important matter as medicinal food. Why would he suddenly want to deal with the prison riot?
"But master, as for Miss Mu Jiao...I will stay here too..." Ze Jiu hesitated.
“No need.”
Huo Qi shook his head, then strode out of the lounge in a hurry. Ze Jiu was confused, but hurried to follow him.
Huo Qi's next move also left Ze Jiu confused. Not only did his master not allow him to follow up in the search for Miss Mu Jiao, he also withdrew all the search teams and ordered the entire Lan Ze Legion fleet to head to Xingyu Prison No. 9 as quickly as possible and immediately impose a military blockade on the entire Xingyu and its surrounding areas upon arrival.
After issuing a series of commands, Huo Qi used his spatial talent to disappear directly into the warship. Only then did Ze Jiu realize something: the one who had made his master so anxious and desperate must be Miss Mu Jiao. The sudden riot in the Northern Prison might be related to Miss Mu Jiao.
Thinking of this, Ze Jiu couldn't help but feel a little excited, and secretly prayed in his heart that he could successfully find Miss Mu Jiao this time. Otherwise, if this continued, even the master, who was a man of iron, would not be able to bear it.
When Huo Qi personally arrived at the location of Prison No. 9 in the Northern Prison, the entire prison hierarchy was in a panic, especially the director of the Northern Prison. At this moment, he was standing at the gate of the dilapidated Prison No. 9. When Huo Qi glanced at him, cold sweat could not help but flow down his temples.
Even so, he hurried over, stammering to Huo Qi with an ugly smile:
"Master, your subordinate, your subordinate..."
The chiefs of the five major prisons in Xingyu were all retainers of Huo Qi, like Ze Jiu, and they served Huo Qi as their master. The moment he learned of the riot, the chief of the Northern Prison knew he was in trouble. Moreover, as a trusted confidant, he naturally knew what his master had been busy with recently, and now his master had ignored him and came here in person.
The Northern Prison Chief felt bitter at the moment, yet he still had to force a smile. The result, as you can imagine, was an ugly one. Even though the Northern Prison Chief had a handsome, well-proportioned face.
Huo Qi glanced at the chief coldly, ignored him, and walked directly over the broken gate into Prison No. 9 with his long legs.
"Where did the riot first occur?" Huo Qi looked around at the broken walls and bloodstains, frowning and asked the director of the Northern Prison in a cold voice.
