112: Fleeing after entering the Dao, the young master of the Lin family! (Seeking monthly tickets)

"Let go of me! Do you know who I am?"

"I am Young Master Lin! Do you have a death wish, daring to arrest me?"

"Yes, let us go! This is our Young Master, and we are all Lin Family guards. If you dare to harm our Young Master, even the County Magistrate will have to apologize to my Lin Manor."

Ning Yuan raised his head, hearing a commotion outside.

Then, several jailers escorted a group of people inside.

Leading them was a young man in luxurious clothes with a pale face.

Besides him, there were also some people in tattered clothes, looking as if they had lost their parents.

These people all had cultivation, but their Internal Energy had already been Sealed.

"I am from the Mingwang Sect! The Mingwang Sect is united; if one suffers, all suffer. Our brothers will definitely save us!" one fanatical middle-aged man shouted loudly.

"I don't care who you are. Once you enter here, if you're a Dragon, you'll coil for me; if you're a tiger, you'll lie down for me!"

"As for your Mingwang Sect Leader, he has long been forced into the mountains by County Commandant and can barely protect himself. Save you? Heh..." one of the skilled jailers pushed a burly man and sneered.

This was a death row prison.

It held only vicious criminals awaiting death.

Anyone who entered here, regardless of their status, had no hope of survival.

Ning Yuan watched as the jailers led the people deeper into the cells, their voices growing faint and inaudible.

"Mingwang Sect?"

"I remember this sect started an uprising with the White Lotus Sect. Its influence was even greater than the White Lotus Sect, and it's said their Leader was a Dao Foundation Realm expert. Has the Mingwang Sect been defeated too? Even the Dao Foundation Leader fled?"

Ning Yuan was a little surprised. After all, he had once reached a mid-to-high level in the White Lotus Sect, so he naturally knew more things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been qualified to be a scapegoat and be pushed forward as the Leader.

"Let go of me! I'm not from an evil cult! I'm Young Master Lin! Don't you dare arrest me, aren't you afraid of my father?"

"My father is an Aperture Opening Martial Artist!" The young man in luxurious clothes was pushed and shoved, turning his head to shout.

"The Lin Family colluded with the evil Mingwang Sect. Your father is now like a clay Buddha crossing a river, barely able to protect himself. Don't count on him to save you."

The jailer opened the door to Ning Yuan's cell and shoved Lin Yun in. "How convenient, the cells inside are already full of Mingwang Sect members. You few will be held here for now. The person sharing this cell with you is the leader of the evil White Lotus Sect, who will be executed in two days. You can have a good chat."

After throwing the person in, the jailer glanced at the seated Ning Yuan. "Awake? Good thing you're not dead, otherwise, we'd have a bit of trouble. Go give him some food later. This is someone the Master wants to personally oversee the execution of, don't let him die before the execution."

The head jailer turned his head and said to the person beside him.

"Don't worry, boss, it's only two days. We won't let him die." The jailer immediately replied with a smile.

Then he glared at Lin Yun. "You'd best behave yourselves in here and not cause me any trouble, or you'll have plenty of suffering to endure."

With that, the group turned and left.

"Pah!"

"My father is a Dao Foundation Martial Artist. As long as my father doesn't die, he will return sooner or later." Lin Yun spat and snorted.

Although he was a wastrel, it didn't mean he understood nothing. As long as his father didn't die, he would be safe. No one would offend a Dao Foundation Martial Artist like this. The County Commandant came from above and would leave Bei Yuan County sooner or later, but the County Magistrate couldn't leave for a while.

If he were killed, the County Magistrate and other high officials would have to worry about their sons being assassinated outside someday.

A lone, unattached Dao Foundation Martial Artist acting as an assassin was something few could defend against.

"Young Master, we will have to endure for a while." A burly man beside Lin Yun bowed subserviently, then turned to look at Ning Yuan, who was sitting on the straw mat bed. He straightened his back and angrily reprimanded, "Boy, didn't you see our Young Master arrived? Why aren't you getting down and giving up your seat?"

Ning Yuan glanced at him indifferently, then withdrew his gaze without answering.

"Don't think you're special just because you're an evil cult leader. I've heard of that White Lotus Sect; there aren't even Dao Foundation experts within it. How dare it compare to our Young Master? Still not getting out of the way?" The burly man spat, walked towards Ning Yuan, "You ungrateful wretch! Is it you who caused my Lin Family to suffer disaster? Today, I'll teach you a lesson."

"Li Shi, leave him a breath." The Young Master in fine clothes patted his sleeves, raised his head, and said coldly.

"Don't worry, Young Master." Li Shi replied with a smile, then looked at Ning Yuan again, revealing a sinister grin. He rolled up his sleeves and walked in front of Ning Yuan, slapping him on the shoulder. "Boy, don't think I'm just thrown into prison. I am the number one expert by Young Master Lin's side, with True Qi Realm cultivation. I am famous throughout Bei Yuan County. If my Internal Energy hadn't been Sealed, could this small cell hold me?"

Before Li Shi finished speaking, he suddenly felt his True Qi flowing from his tiger's mouth into the shoulder of the person in front of him.

"What's going on? My Internal Energy..." Li Shi's face changed slightly. He suddenly tried to pull away, but Ning Yuan's Internal Energy far surpassed his, especially since his own was Sealed.

"Since your Internal Energy has been Sealed, how about I help you unseal it?" Ning Yuan slowly raised his head, revealing a smile. He raised his hand and grabbed Li Shi's wrist. The True Qi in the opponent's body was instantly absorbed by him like a torrent. "Your Internal Energy has become mine, which is equivalent to unsealing it."

"Evil skill, let go of me! My Internal Energy..."

"Young Master, save me!" Li Shi's face changed drastically. He turned his head and shouted at Lin Yun.

As Ning Yuan circulated Bei Ming Divine Skill, Li Shi convulsed as if having a seizure, unable to utter a single word.

"What did you do to Li Shi?" Young Master Lin Yun's face changed slightly. He immediately waved his hand and reprimanded, "All of you, go together and kill him for me!"

There were three people locked in with him. Besides Li Shi, the other two were also his servants, only they didn't have Li Shi's cultivation.

The two men's expressions changed, but seeing Lin Yun's unkind gaze, they still rushed forward.

Although the Lin Family was facing a great disaster now, Lin Yun had long held considerable authority in their hearts. Even in such a predicament, they dared not refute him.

The two did not directly attack Ning Yuan, as the other party was too strange. Instead, they pulled at Li Shi, trying to separate him from Ning Yuan.

But as soon as the two grabbed Li Shi's arm, a powerful suction force instantly spread to their bodies.

Their eyes widened as they felt their Internal Energy rapidly draining away.

But they could no longer let go; they simply couldn't break free.

They could only watch helplessly as their Internal Energy completely vanished, becoming someone else's.

A moment later, Ning Yuan released his grip. The three men had collapsed onto the ground like a pile of mud, their faces pale, their breath faint.

"My Internal Energy..." Even at this moment, Li Shi still couldn't accept it, and his gaze towards Ning Yuan was filled with terror.

And having absorbed Li Shi's Internal Energy, Ning Yuan's cultivation had increased by another point. Ning Yuan licked the corner of his lips, a look of unfulfilled desire on his face.

The fastest way to improve Bei Ming Divine Skill was naturally to absorb others' Internal Energy for one's own use.

"What's wrong with you all? Are you alright? Why aren't you killing him?" Lin Yun urged from behind.

"Young Master, this person is strange. Our Internal Energy has all been absorbed by him." Li Shi crawled to Lin Yun's side, pointing at Ning Yuan with a look of awe and fear, shouting. As for the other two, they had already fainted.

"What?" Hearing this, Lin Yun's face also changed.

"What evil skill are you using? I will definitely report you to the County Yamen people! I want to report you!" Li Shi shivered, unable to help but say.

At this moment, he secretly cursed the rumors for harming people.

The capture of the White Lotus Sect Leader had long spread throughout Bei Yuan County, and the County Yamen had not stinted in spreading the news to boost its prestige.

And because he was in the Lin Family, he knew more news. He had heard that this White Lotus Sect Leader's martial arts were mediocre, but now, how was this mediocre martial arts?

Especially, he could still use martial arts inside the cell.

"Are these jailers eating dry rations? Someone whose martial arts haven't even been Sealed is locked in here. Can this place hold anyone?"

Although he cursed inwardly, his face was filled with extreme fear.

"Report me?" Hearing this, the smile on Ning Yuan's face grew even wider. "That's great. I hope that in a moment, you'll still have the courage to say that."

Ning Yuan raised a finger, and a Sword Qi pierced Li Shi's shoulder. A splash of blood splattered, then was absorbed into Ning Yuan's fingertip, condensing into a blood-colored Talisman as thin as a cicada's wing. With a flick of Ning Yuan's hand, it entered the opponent's body.

"What did you do to me?" Li Shi asked with a terrified expression.

"You'll know very soon." Ning Yuan smiled slightly. Soon, Li Shi felt something was wrong.

He felt an unbearable itch all over his body, making him wish he could scratch off his own skin, followed by excruciating pain.

"What exactly is this?"

"What exactly did you do to me?" Li Shi rolled on the ground, crying out loudly.

But this was deep within the prison. Aside from delivering meals, jailers usually didn't want to come here, and there were always people shouting and screaming every day. His small voice wouldn't attract any attention at all.

"Li Shi, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yun also quickly shouted, but he couldn't help and instead hid in the corner.

Ning Yuan watched Li Shi wail on the ground for a long time before indifferently speaking, "This is the Life and Death Talisman. Its power intensifies day by day. As long as you don't take the antidote, it will continue to act. After eighty-one days, it will reach its Peak. You will be unable to resist tearing off your own skin, carving out your own flesh, and pulling out your own bones to relieve the itching and intense pain."

Lin Yun in the corner shuddered upon hearing these words, his lips turning white, his face filled with terror.

"What?" As soon as he heard that this was only the beginning and there would be even greater power later, Li Shi quickly scrambled to his feet and knelt before Ning Yuan. "Leader, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please, Leader, spare my life. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, without hesitation."

Li Shi kowtowed repeatedly, his head hitting the ground with dull thuds.

"Given your sincerity, I will temporarily spare your life." Ning Yuan circulated Tianshan Six Yang Palm, and soon temporarily lifted the effect of the Life and Death Talisman, but the Life and Death Talisman remained in the opponent's body.

"Tell me, what is your name, and what is your identity?" Ning Yuan asked indifferently.

The burly man gasped a few times before raising his head with lingering fear, hastily replying, "I am Li Shi, a guard of Young Master Lin, with True Qi Realm cultivation."

Towards the end, Li Shi's voice lowered, because he now had no True Qi whatsoever.

"What is the Lin Family's status in the county town? What's this about colluding with an evil cult? What Realm is their strongest expert?" Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes, then continued to ask.

Few people could withstand the feeling of the Life and Death Talisman, and no one wanted to experience it again. Li Shi quickly replied, "The Lin Family is one of the three great Families in Bei Yuan County. There are countless experts within the Family. There are more than ten True Qi Realm Martial Artists like me. The Family Head is said to have Dao Foundation Realm cultivation."

"As for the evil cult matter, I'm not clear about it. Before I was arrested, I was still accompanying Young Master Lin to forcibly seize a civilian girl. On the way back, I was arrested along with him by the new County Commandant who came to the county town." Li Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, spilling everything he knew.

As he spoke, he looked towards Lin Yun in the corner.

After all, although Lin Yun was a wastrel, he was ultimately Young Master Lin. Although not as good as the second Young Master who was studying abroad, his status was here, and he knew more things than Li Shi did.
