Chapter 113 Why must Xu Ming die? (4000 words)

Watching the witch flying away, Xu Ming did not chase after her.

This doesn't mean that Xu Ming was so obsessed with this enchantress that he couldn't bear to chase her and kill her.

But because time is running out.

Dao Wenyan consumed too much of my energy, and when I caught up with her, I failed to kill her. As a result, I was exhausted and was killed by her. That was funny.

"Alas, the realm is still not enough"

Xu Ming retracted his Taoist eyes and sat aside, panting, with hot sweat constantly oozing out of his forehead.

If my realm is high enough and I have enough spiritual power and physical strength to open the Dao Pattern Eye and the Blood Qi Frenzy at the same time, even if it is only for a few minutes, the explosive power generated in those few minutes is beyond my imagination.

He could have even killed Mo Zhuer unexpectedly just now.

Unfortunately, all of this was just the most beautiful fantasy of the past, and I am not strong enough to withstand two BUFFs that consume a lot of physical strength.

Xu Ming fed himself a qi-replenishing pill, and after recovering a little, he went to the county government office.

The Li family is definitely related to the Black Lotus Cult of the Western Regions. Maybe the reason why Yu Ping'an did not take revenge on the Li family was because of the Black Lotus Cult of the Western Regions.

The Black Lotus Cult in the Western Regions may have a weak spot for Yu Ping'an.

I need to talk to Xu Pangda about this matter and then write a few letters to Wudu.

As for how Yu Ping'an would react after seeing this letter, I had no idea.

After returning to the county government office, Xu Ming went straight into Xu Pangda's study.

Although it was late at night, a candle was still lit in the study of the county government office, swaying the shadow of the person inside.

Xu Pangda is still looking at the evidence files collected these days, trying to bring down the four major families in Baihe County.

Xu Ming felt quite gratified when he saw what Xu Pangda had done these days.

When most officials first enter the officialdom, they want to serve the people wholeheartedly and benefit the local people, so they hate evil and hate evil.

However, with the passage of time and the deepening of officialdom, after encountering various difficulties, some people became increasingly disappointed with officialdom, while others were eroded by sugar-coated bullets and gradually lost their original intentions.

And now, with this start, almost a month has passed and Xu Pangda still has no intention of giving up. This is already a very difficult thing.

Because the previous ones had all given up and laid down, Xu Pangda already had enough reasons to convince himself.

But he didn't use this reason.

"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Pangda was also shocked when he saw Xu Ming.

The clothes on Xu Ming's chest were torn, there was blood at the corners of his mouth, and his face was pale. He looked as if he had been sucked dry by a fox demon.

"It's okay. I was just walking around late at night and someone wanted to kill me." Xu Ming took a big gulp of tea and sat on a chair.

"???" Xu Pangda suspected that he had heard it wrongly, "Someone wants to kill you? Does he know who you are?"

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Of course he knew. Or rather, he killed me because he knew who I was."

Xu Pangda stood up and clapped his hands heavily, "This is really lawless! In the territory of Wu State! In a town! How dare someone kill an official appointed by the imperial court?!"

"The person who killed me was the eldest son of the Li family." Xu Ming's tone was filled with pity, "Originally, I wanted to spare his life, and then use him to uproot the Li family and even the other three powerful families in Baihe County.

But I was too naive.

Since the other party dares to kill me, it is impossible for him to leave any evidence. How could I catch him alive?

When the eldest son of the Li family was almost captured alive, he exploded into a bloody mist, without even a piece of clothing left behind. "

Xu Pangda frowned: "There must be a mastermind behind this, otherwise the Li family would not be so bold."

Xu Ming nodded: "The mastermind behind this is the Black Lotus Sect. I met the Saint of the Black Lotus Sect and she wants to kill me."

"Black Lotus Sect?" Xu Pangda was even more confused. "Fifth brother, when did you have any grudge against the Black Lotus Sect?"

"I don't know when the Black Lotus Cult and I had a feud." Xu Ming shook his head helplessly. "Could it be that during the years I was in Xuefutu, I killed some Black Lotus Cult members?"

"We in Wu Kingdom have always severely cracked down on the Black Lotus Sect. We have killed countless Black Lotus Sect members, but this is probably the first time that the Black Lotus Sect has paid so much attention to you that even the Saint Maiden has come to kill you."

Xu Pangda looked at his brother.

"But I'm glad you're okay, Fifth Brother. You should hurry back to Wudu. I'm worried that the Black Lotus Church will continue to harm you. This time, the Black Lotus Church underestimated you, Fifth Brother. Next time, they will probably send some elders over."

"I'm not worried about that."

Xu Ming thought about it.

“I have a jade pendant given by His Majesty. Whenever a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm attacks me, the luck of mountains and rivers contained in the jade pendant will be activated to save my life, and the luck of mountains and rivers will lock onto the opponent.

I'll use this life-saving talisman first. I don't want to go back to Wudu in such disgrace.

In short, this is my business, so you don’t have to worry about it, Third Brother.”

After listening to Xu Ming say this, although Xu Pangda still wanted to persuade him again, he finally decided to forget it.

My fifth brother is not a reckless person, not to mention that he has experienced countless life and death situations during those years of training in Xuefutu. I believe in his decision.

"How is Third Brother now? Is there any progress on those cases today?" Xu Ming changed the subject.

Xu Pangda shook his head and rubbed his eyes: “No.

At present, half of those who accused the four families in Baihe County have withdrawn their accusations.

Even if the charges were not dropped, I simply could not find the evidence.

There were no other witnesses except the parties involved.

The people under his command are still secretly disobeying his orders.

I really want to pick up a sword and kill them all!"

Xu Pangda's eyes were red from working day and night and he looked very tired.

"Actually, I have a way." Xu Ming said with a smile.

"Oh?" Xu Pangda sat up straight at once.

"After I have rested for a few days, I will visit the homes of the four wealthy families, and then..."

Xu Ming told Xu Pangda the idea that he had previously shared with Fang Ling.

When Xu Pangda first heard it, he thought Xu Ming really had some good plan, but the more he listened, the uglier Xu Pangda's expression became.

"No! Absolutely not!" Xu Pangda said to Xu Ming, "Fifth brother, let's not talk about whether you are strong enough to conquer all four clans. Do you know what kind of criticism you will receive from the imperial court if you do this?"

My fifth brother wants to use the privileges granted by His Majesty to execute the four powerful families in Baihe County without reporting to the emperor later. He wants to disrupt these four powerful families first and then collect evidence.

Indeed, if this method is really used, it is indeed possible to break the deadlock, because once the backbones of the four powerful families die, the relationship network of these four powerful families will be directly cut off, everyone will be terrified, and those who are threatened by these four powerful families will have more confidence to stand up.

Indeed, my fifth brother has the jade pendant given by His Majesty, and he has the right to execute first and report later.

But the problem is that the Imperial Sword is only an Imperial Sword when it is not drawn. If it is really drawn, the backlash to the sword holder will be extremely great.

I would not be surprised if those court officials in the court took advantage of the situation to attack my fifth brother in some way.

After all, other people want to be the son-in-law of the emperor, or want to be the son-in-law's relatives. "Third brother, I have made up my mind, so there is no need to persuade me. If I continue to waste time like this, I will stay with you in Baihe County until the end of your term, and there will be no progress.

And those people were indeed very pitiful.

It would be fine if I didn't see it, but if I do, I want to resolve it.

Monks emphasize on having a single thought, but the same is true for us warriors.

If I don't even dare to do these things, won't I be timid when I punch in the future? How can I continue my martial arts?"

Xu Ming's tone was very serious and sounded extremely righteous.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

In fact, Xu Ming had another small reason, which was to wonder if he could get rid of the Wu Dynasty court a little bit, or to make Emperor Wu give up his idea of ​​marrying Wu Yanhan.

Now Emperor Wu has been very kind to me and even promised his daughter to me. If I just leave Wu State and go to the world, I would feel a little guilty.

So he might as well seek his own death appropriately, make himself have some stains, and then be attacked by court officials, or even make himself a commoner.

Or maybe he was asking for trouble so that Emperor Wu would not allow him to marry Wu Yanhan.

Not marrying Wu Yanhan is the best outcome.

This doesn't mean that I hate Wu Yanhan.

Because serving in the court will not affect his lifespan, and he can also rely on the state to obtain a lot of resources for cultivation.

To him, Wu State was a large sect, and having the support of a large sect would always bring him many benefits.

However, if I continue to stay in Wu State.

Emperor Wu will definitely grant me a marriage next time, and it would be really bad if I refuse again.

Breaking off an engagement once is to realize one's ambitions, but breaking off an engagement twice is simply disrespecting others.

How can I put it? I just don't want to get married so early. How can I be free and at ease after having a son and a daughter? In two simple words, it is "fear of marriage".

"Fifth brother, you."

Looking at Xu Ming's determined eyes, Xu Pangda took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to Xu Ming.

"Fifth brother, on behalf of the people in Baihe County who have been wronged, I would like to express my gratitude to you first! Please rest assured! If the court blames us, we will first let you go! I will find evidence of the four families' tyranny in Baihe Town even if I die!"

Looking at the appearance of his third brother, Xu Ming was also stunned for a moment.

Xu Ming felt that his third brother seemed to have made up something in his mind. In his third brother's mind, his image might have become a glorious and majestic image of "devoting himself to the people".

His own "disregarding oneself and moving forward courageously" even aroused the passion of the third brother and strengthened his belief in fighting to the end at all costs for the sake of the people.

"Third brother, there's really no need for this." Xu Ming bowed in return, a little worried that Xu Pangda would do something stupid! "No!" Xu Pangda's eyes were firm, "Fifth brother, Third brother will stand with you!"

After flying away from Baihe County, Mo Zhuer arrived at a mountain in the suburbs.

Mo Zhuer walked to a huge rock, took out a jade token and put it into the groove next to the stone.

The next moment, a crack appeared in the huge rock in front of Mo Zhuer, and a cave appeared.

Mo Zhuer walked into the cave, and the torches illuminated the entire cave red.

"Welcome to Her Majesty the Saint."

Deep in the cave, there were disciples of the Black Lotus Sect standing on duty on both sides of the cave.

Mo Zhuer ignored them and walked straight into her stone room.

After the door was closed, Mo Zhuer set up a barrier in the room, then took out a black stone and placed it in the center of the magic circle.

As Mo Zhuer chanted the spell and recited the obscure inscriptions, black lotus flowers bloomed from the stone.

Suddenly, the lotus dissipated, leaving behind the shadow of an old man.

"Disciple, hello to Master." Mo Zhuer knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

The old man stared at Mo Zhuer: "Is the mission completed?"

Mo Zhuer raised her head and said, "The remaining ten pairs of boys and girls will be sent to the Black Lotus Sect headquarters in three days."

The old man shook his head: "That's not what the master is talking about."

The old man stared at his disciple and asked, "Have you got Xu Ming's life and Fang Ling's heart?"

"Master, I was just about to report this matter to you." Mo Zhuer said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Go ahead."

“Although Xu Ming is a warrior at the Heroic Soul Realm, his physical strength is different from that of ordinary people, far surpassing the warriors I have killed before, and he is also a sword cultivator.

Although judging from his spiritual power, he is only a Furnace-Building Realm cultivator, but judging from the sharpness of his sword energy, I'm afraid that even an ordinary Cave-Dwelling Realm sword cultivator cannot compare to him.

And there’s something strange about his eyes.”

"Strange? What's strange?" asked the leader of the Black Lotus Sect.

"Some obscure runes can emerge from Xu Ming's eyes. I don't know if it's a problem with Xu Ming's eyes, or if Xu Ming knows a spell that I don't know. My illusions have no effect on Xu Ming." Mo Zhuer said truthfully.

"." The Black Lotus Sect leader's Dharma image fell into silence, as if he was thinking about something.

"It seems that Xu Ming is more interesting than we thought." After a long while, the leader of the Black Lotus Cult said with a smile, "Why? You don't have the confidence to kill him?"

Mo Zhuer lowered her head and said, "Disciple cannot take him down in a short time. To be safe, Disciple will leave first and then make a long-term plan. But Disciple is still confident that he can be killed."

The leader of the Black Lotus Sect put his hands behind his back and said: "Disciple, I have great confidence in you. I will give you the task of killing Xu Ming. Don't let me down."

"Disciple understands." Mo Zhu'er nodded and saluted, "But there is one thing I don't understand. Xu Ming is indeed a genius, but why must Xu Ming die?"

“You don’t need to understand.” The projection of the Black Lotus Cult leader became increasingly dim. When the Black Lotus Cult leader’s figure disappeared, his last words echoed throughout the room, “Since someone paid a high price to buy his life, we must satisfy them.”

Mo Zhuer lowered her eyes and said, "As you wish."
