Chapter 117 Li Yuelan, Crescent Moon Sword Sect!

"My Lord, all the people have been brought out. Would you like to go and watch the ceremony together?"

The official who brought Ning Yuan and others came to a large courtyard to report.

In the courtyard, a stunning figure was dancing with a sword.

"Don't bother me with such trivial matters."

A cold voice came from the people inside, and the black-hatted official hurriedly left the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, there was a woman in a blue dress, with a pistol in her hand.

She frowned and thought for a long time, "This move is still wrong, how annoying!"

"I feel like I'm only one step away from mastering the Crescent Moon Sword Technique. There's only a thin layer of window paper between us. Why can't I break through it?"

Li Yuelan muttered to herself, then snorted coldly, "Why are these cult members so weak that I can't even use my swordsmanship any further."

"Should I look for a higher level cultist?"

"Miss, absolutely not!"

At this time, an old woman suddenly appeared on the side and said, "The evil cults around Beiyuan City are only the lowest level of evil cults. Some of their leaders have not even entered the Tao yet."

"But for a higher level cult, I'm afraid there will be a Jindan Zhenren in charge. Although the cult is weak now and has been suppressed by the righteous and evil ways as well as the imperial court, its power is not as great as before, but it can still exist tenaciously under the siege of various forces. Its foundation is unimaginable. Miss is still young, so don't be careless and don't provoke the real main force of the cult."

"Don't worry, I'm not that reckless."

Li Yuelan snorted coldly.

As the second daughter of the Li family, the most important family in the city, and a descendant of the Xianyue clan, she is no fool.

"But nowadays, cults have really reached the end of their rope. They accept anyone and everyone. Even someone who doesn't know martial arts can become a cult leader."

"I am also worthy of supervising the execution of such a person. How ridiculous."

Li Yuelan sneered. She didn't even bother to deal with such a person.

"Second Miss, the county magistrate has also gone. If someone robs the execution ground and causes trouble, I'm afraid it will affect your promotion."

The old woman continued to advise earnestly.

"I have already defeated all the evil cults around me. Some martial artists have fled, some have been captured. Who dares to rob the execution ground?"

Li Yuelan frowned and said in a cold voice, then sneered, "If the Beiyuan County Magistrate can't even defend against this, then he deserves it."

Seeing this, the old woman didn't know what to say.

……

Caishikou, Beiyuan City.

There was a huge crowd.

As Ning Yuan and others walked up to the execution platform, there was a sudden cheer.

"The evil cult committed many evil deeds, repeatedly attacked the county town, and killed countless people. Now they have finally all been brought to justice."

"The evil cult deserves to be killed. They stole my money and food and distributed them to the untouchables. It's totally unreasonable. They should all be killed!"

"That's all my money, my money!"

Many people in fancy clothes in the audience were talking about this.

They were all prominent families of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, owning thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city and having been wealthy for generations. Because they had been attacked by the cult in the past few months, large tracts of land had been seized, granaries had been robbed, houses and gardens outside the city had been damaged, and gold and silver had been stolen, resulting in heavy losses.

I have a deep hatred for cults.

"You have offended Ning Yuan, why don't you kneel down!"

The executioner wore a red scarf and shouted harshly.

At this time, Ning Yuan looked around and saw the county magistrate sitting in the main seat, but he did not see the female county lieutenant that Lin Yuan mentioned.

There was no threatening aura nearby that made him feel uncomfortable.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the county lieutenant is not here."

"Whether the county lieutenant is here or not has nothing to do with you. Your crime has been determined. Kneel down and accept your punishment!"

The executioner behind him pushed Ning Yuan, but Ning Yuan did not move at all. Instead, he took three steps back.

"You dare to fight back?"

The executioner was immediately furious.

But at this moment, Ning Yuan suddenly broke the shackles and broke the chains.

With a loud bang, the iron chains flew out, and many soldiers around had their breastplates pierced.

"what's the situation?"

The county magistrate at the desk was shocked when he saw this scene. "Come quickly, arrest this thief and don't let him escape."

"I am the leader of the White Lotus Sect. I will teach you a lesson today."

Ning Yuan shouted loudly, raised his hand and used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. As the high-pitched dragon roar was heard, a passage was immediately pierced through. The soldiers rushing forward were rushed by the terrifying dragon-shaped true qi, and they were immediately thrown to the ground.

"Run!"

"Someone robbed the execution ground!"

"The White Lotus Sect has entered the city!"

The people watching around were suddenly panicked and ran outside shouting.

The entire Caishikou was in chaos.

The soldiers guarding nearby wanted to rush forward upon hearing the news, but they collided with those who were rushing out.

"Beiyuan County Magistrate, if you want to kill me, I will lend you my head first!"

Ning Yuan stepped forward and rushed towards the magistrate of Beiyuan County like an arrow.

"Protect your lord quickly!"

The guards around also shouted immediately.

Standing in front of the Beiyuan County Magistrate.

Ning Yuan opened and closed his palms vigorously. These ordinary soldiers were no match for him. Even the guards were only warriors in the True Qi realm.

Ning Yuan raised his fingers and sword energy burst out.

At this moment, Ning Yuan suddenly looked up and saw a crescent-shaped sword energy rushing towards him from the distant sky.

"What a terrifying force. It can still be so powerful even though it's just a few streets away."

Ning Yuan's pupils constricted, and then he also used all his strength.

"Kanglong has regrets!"

Ning Yuan shouted loudly, and the Beiming true energy in his body surged out wildly. A several-meter-long golden dragon soared into the sky, then flicked its tail and turned to rush towards the crescent-shaped sword energy coming from the horizon.

bass!
I saw the crescent sword energy spinning rapidly, and the golden dragon energy was actually split into two from beginning to end, turning into golden light and dissipating.

The sword energy was still sharp, and it was already slashing towards Ning Yuan like an arrow. "Is this the strength of the Awakening Realm?"

Ning Yuan's pupils constricted in disbelief. He used all his strength to move his palms and slid them. A crescent-shaped sword energy several feet high came down on his head. Ning Yuan was pushed back dozens of steps by the powerful impact, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"drink!"

Ning Yuan shouted loudly, gathered all his strength, and pushed with both palms suddenly, and the sword energy rushed past.

The terrifying sword energy swirled in the opposite direction, instantly sweeping across a large area, and blood mist filled the sky.

Everyone was shocked and retreated in fear.

Ning Yuan also took this opportunity to withdraw.

A moment later, a blue-white figure appeared with a cold face, "Where is the person?"

Li Yuelan scanned the entire place. After a while, a surviving soldier came over and replied tremblingly, "Sir, the man has escaped!"

Hearing that Ning Yuan had escaped, Li Yuelan's pupils shrank, "He's not dead?"

Li Yuelan was a little bit unbelievable.

The move she just made was not just a casual attack, it was an attack with all her strength. The power of this move was so great that even the top 100 people at that time might not be able to block it.

"Who escaped?"

"What force is behind the riot? How many people are there?"

Li Yuelan asked with murderous intent in her eyes and a cold face.

"Yes, it's Ning Yuan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect!"

"No one robbed the execution ground. He alone suddenly exploded and killed many brothers."

The soldier replied tremblingly.

"one person?"

Li Yuelan turned around and frowned, "I remember when you captured him, you said that he didn't know martial arts, so why does he have such strength?"

As she spoke, Li Yuelan glanced at the corpses scattered all over the ground, frowned, and asked, "With such destructive power, he must have already entered the Dao, right? How could he have hidden it from your scrutiny?"

The soldier looked bitter and said cautiously: "Sir, the extent of the damage here was not caused by him, but by——"

The soldiers looked hesitant.

"Who is it? Tell me!"

Li Yuelan raised her eyebrows and shouted in dissatisfaction.

The soldier swallowed his saliva, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's you!"

"Ok?"

Li Yuelan's eyes widened, and the soldiers knelt down hurriedly. "It was the White Lotus Sect leader who used some evil magic to bounce your sword energy back and divert it to our direction, causing such destructive power. Otherwise, how could a small evil cult leader compare with the County Lieutenant?"

"If it weren't for the fact that this thief's evil magic was so powerful that he could borrow your divine power, we would never have let him escape."

"I see."

Li Yuelan snorted coldly, her expression softened a bit, and then she asked casually, "Where's the county magistrate?"

"The county magistrate is dead!"

A man who looked like a legal advisor stood up and said tremblingly.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuelan immediately raised her voice, her face changed drastically, and she looked off into the distance angrily, "Ning Yuan, leader of the White Lotus Sect, I will remember you!"

Li Yuelan shouted through gritted teeth.

Although given her status, it wouldn't be a big deal if the county magistrate died in front of her, but it would be embarrassing!
If this gets out among peers, it will definitely become a laughing stock.

This group of people, from all major sects and families, were sent down to various counties for training.

Now that she has a prisoner escaped, the execution ground has been robbed, and the county magistrate is dead, it will inevitably affect the evaluation of her achievements.

"If I don't take revenge, I won't be named Li!"

Li Yuelan lowered her eyes and immediately gave the order, "The whole county should be on alert, the four gates should be sealed, and search every house. I don't believe he can escape."

"Yes!"

The other yamen runners and soldiers gathered together and immediately scattered in all directions.

At this time, Li Shi in the cell also opened the doors of other cells, and immediately a group of prisoners rushed out. Li Shi also took the opportunity to set a fire, which attracted many yamen runners to come and put out the fire.

He also took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Upon hearing the news, Li Yuelan became even more angry. She rushed to the scene in person and killed all the prisoners with a sword before they could escape, finally venting her anger.

……

On the other side, Ning Yuan came to a luxurious courtyard, climbed over the wall, found an empty room and hid in it.

Blood was still dripping from the tiger's mouth.

"So, this is the true martial artist who has entered the Dao!"

Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and said to himself, "In comparison, Lin Yuan is far inferior. Even before Lin Yuan's foundation was destroyed, I feel I could have fought him once or twice. But this Li Yuelan, just the aura she exudes from afar makes me tremble with fear."

"A sword strike from a few miles away has injured me so badly. Compared with him, Lin Yuan is probably a world apart."

"It seems that if I don't enter the Dao, I have no chance of winning in front of her. Even if I face her head-on, my chances of escaping are slim."

"Li Yuelan, I'll remember this sword!"

Ning Yuan took a deep breath, opened the system interface, and redeemed the 'Return Talisman'.

In an instant, the luck was reduced to only 220 points.

And Ning Yuan also disappeared from the spot out of thin air.

Not long after Ning Yuan disappeared, a group of yamen runners rushed over.

"The blood trail ends here. The person may be hiding here."

Not long after, the bailiff opened the door, but was soon dumbfounded.

No matter how deep they dug, they did not find a single person.

"It seems we have been deceived. This is a clue he left deliberately to confuse us. This thief is really cunning."

The bailiff left the room, disappointed.

This also made the owner of the courtyard feel relieved.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly asked someone to present gold and silver as rewards.

After all, people have left clues here. As long as these yamen runners say that he may be related to the monster, he will be easily caught. Therefore, it is better to let these yamen runners say less.
