Chapter 63: Capturing the Four Evils, Selecting the Beggar Clan Leader! (Ten Thousand Words for Full Subscription)
Night.
Tianning Temple.
The Four Evils returned.
The Western Xia warriors who remained on guard did not see Helian Tieshu and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Where is the general?"
"Your general has been killed by Southern Murong."
Yun Zhonghe snorted and said directly.
Then the Western Xia warriors who rushed back laid down Helian Tieshu's body.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, the temple immediately erupted like a beehive. The Western Xia warriors were filled with righteous indignation, "What a Murong Fu, to dare to kill our general! Is he not afraid of his clan being annihilated?"
"Kill Murong Fu, destroy Yanz 塢, and avenge the general!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Meanwhile, the Beggar Clan Disciples, Tan Gong, Tan Po, and the Shan family members, who had been poisoned by Bei Su Qing Feng, lost their martial arts, and were imprisoned, cheered loudly.
"I never thought you'd have this day!"
Wu Changfeng said with a cold laugh.
"We've only been captured for a day, and your leader is already dead. What a huge joke!"
Zhao Qiansun also laughed heartily.
These words immediately angered the Western Xia warriors.
"These stinking beggars, since they won't surrender, why not kill them to accompany the general in death!"
"Yes, kill them first!"
"Kill the beggars, then kill Murong Fu!"
"Hehehe! I have no objection."
Duan Yanqing let out a few sinister laughs, looking at the Beggar Clan members with ill intent.
As the Western Xia warriors drew their swords and approached them with chilling smiles, many immediately lost their courage.
Especially Quan Guanqing and some Disciples, who all swallowed hard.
However, the Four Great Elders still showed some backbone.
"If you want to kill, kill. If you want to dismember, dismember. But for my Beggar Clan to surrender to Western Xia and become pawns for the Western Xia barbarians, that is absolutely impossible!"
Wu Changfeng, with his arms tied behind his back, struggled to stand up and shouted loudly.
"Stubborn fools! Kill them to accompany the general in death!"
A deputy general ordered.
Helian Tieshu was dead, which didn't mean he could take over. On the contrary, his fate after returning to Western Xia might not be good. Killing these people now to gain some merit might be better, so he didn't hesitate.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Immediately, everyone drew their curved swords and plunged them in.
Accompanied by the 'thud' of blades entering flesh and screams, the peaceful Buddhist temple turned into a purgatory.
"amitabha!"
Great Master Zhi Guang saw this scene and couldn't help but recite a Buddhist chant, his face full of compassion, but it was to no avail.
"Young Master, you're finally here! It seems those Western Xia people have started killing inside!"
Seeing Ning Yuan and Bai Shijing appear, Bao Butong immediately said.
"How dare they harm my Central Plains Martial Forest comrades, hmph!"
Ning Yuan snorted coldly, speaking righteously. No one could tell that he had arrived at just the right moment.
His goal was to appear when the Beggar Clan members were in the most danger, so that they would truly be grateful and remember him deeply.
"Follow me to kill them and save the people!"
Ning Yuan shouted coldly, and Bao Butong and Feng Boe immediately agreed.
"Stop!"
Ning Yuan roared, raising a palm. His powerful palm force immediately sent a group of Western Xia warriors, who were attacking the Beggar Clan Disciples, flying. They all vomited blood and fell to the ground, their lives unknown.
"Who is it?"
The Western Xia warriors turned around in horror.
Duan Yanqing's expression was solemn at this moment, and he spoke coldly, "Murong Fu!"
"He is Murong Fu?"
Many Western Xia warriors looked at Ning Yuan, then raised their long swords and shouted loudly: "Kill him, avenge the general!"
"Kill!"
Dozens of armored men, wielding long swords, charged towards Ning Yuan.
"I helped you clear a vacant position in the court, yet you show no gratitude and dare to attack me. How presumptuous!"
Ning Yuan sneered, and with a raise of his hand, Sword Qi crisscrossed.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Ah! Ah... screams rose and fell.
The Beggar Clan Disciples, who had been in despair, were overjoyed to see Ning Yuan's appearance.
"It's Young Master Murong!"
"Young Master Murong is here, we are saved!"
Although the Beggar Clan's attitude towards Murong Fu had not been friendly before, everyone now ignored that point.
"Elder Bai is also here. It seems the Law Enforcement Elder sought help from Young Master Murong."
Another Beggar Clan Disciple also noticed Bai Shijing behind the others.
Bai Shijing immediately took action to help the Beggar Clan Disciples, untying their ropes.
"amitabha!"
Great Master Zhi Guang also chanted Buddhist scriptures, but his gaze towards Ning Yuan was somewhat complex.
After all, he had painstakingly tried to hide the identity of the Chief, but the other party had directly told Qiao Feng.
Although he didn't explicitly say that the Shaolin Abbot was the Chief, he told Qiao Feng to find Xuan Ci. This matter would likely be exposed sooner or later.
When that happens, the blow to the reputation of Buddhism would be imaginable.
Now, he was saved by the other party, so his complicated feelings were understandable.
"Murong Fu, you are too arrogant!"
His plans were repeatedly thwarted by Ning Yuan, which made Duan Yanqing unbearable. He immediately attacked in a rage.
Even Ye Erniang appeared, and the Four Evils joined forces to attack Ning Yuan.
"Vulnerable!"
Ning Yuan used both palms, displaying extraordinary power, and coldly shouted: "Today, I will remove the Four Evils from the list and eliminate a scourge for the world!"
Ning Yuan finally stopped holding back and fully displayed his true strength.
He stepped on Lingbo Microstep, activated Bei Ming Divine Skill, and unleashed Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Streams of Sword Qi shot out, and the entire Tianning Temple became a purgatory battlefield.
"Murong Fu, return my cultivation!"
Yue Lao San smashed down with his crocodile scissors. Ning Yuan grabbed Yue Lao San's wrist, and the remaining cultivation in Yue Lao San's body was instantly absorbed by Ning Yuan.
Then, Ning Yuan casually sent him flying.
"Not good."
Yun Zhonghe saw this scene, his liver and guts immediately splitting. He pulled back to retreat, but Ning Yuan was already a step ahead, appearing in front of Yun Zhonghe. He reached out and sucked, and Yun Zhonghe immediately flew uncontrollably towards Ning Yuan, who grabbed him by the neck, his cultivation flowing into Ning Yuan's body.
"Let me go!"
"I am willing to follow your lead!"
Yun Zhonghe quickly begged for mercy.
"A scoundrel like you, taking you as a subordinate, wouldn't that ruin my good name?"
Ning Yuan sneered, then his gaze turned cold, and he sternly rebuked, "Yun Zhonghe, you have ruined the reputations of countless women and are utterly wicked. Today, I will kill you to eliminate a scourge for the Martial Forest."
Saying that, Ning Yuan released a burst of internal energy from his palm, and Yun Zhonghe immediately widened his eyes.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his neck twisted, and he was no longer alive.
"Fourth Brother!"
Ye Erniang saw Yun Zhonghe's tragic death and cried out in fear.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"
Bao Butong shouted coldly, but he did not take the opportunity to attack immediately. Instead, he reminded her before making his move.
Duan Yanqing was furious and indignant. The iron rod in his hand pierced towards Ning Yuan like a sword.
The I Yang Finger's force penetrated the tip of the iron rod, shooting towards Ning Yuan.
But as soon as the force approached, it bounced back.
With Ning Yuan's current cultivation, using Star Shift, few in the world could break it.
"Go!"
Duan Yanqing's expression changed. He dodged the deflected attack and ran.
Although he was crippled, his lightness skill was not bad.
In an instant, he scaled the wall of Tianning Temple and escaped.
"Trying to run?"
Ning Yuan sneered, chasing closely behind, "Duan Yanqing, I have given you enough chances. Since you don't cherish them, then stay!"
Ning Yuan also climbed out of Tianning Temple.
The two of them traveled through the dense forest. After only a moment, Ning Yuan appeared on Duan Yanqing's path.
"Murong Fu, do you really intend to exterminate me?"
Duan Yanqing asked sharply.
"Do I need to exterminate you to deal with you?"
Ning Yuan sneered and attacked at the same time.
The two clashed again. After dozens of moves, Duan Yanqing fell into a disadvantage, blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
First defeated by a junior like Qiao Feng, and now forced into a corner by Murong Fu, the frustration in Duan Yanqing's heart was indescribable.
Finally, with a Star Shift counterattack, Duan Yanqing vomited blood and retreated, captured by Ning Yuan.
However, Ning Yuan did not use Bei Ming Divine Skill to seize Duan Yanqing's cultivation.
"Why don't you use your evil skill?"
Duan Yanqing snorted, unable to help but ask.
"I can dissolve your cultivation at any time, there's no need to rush."
Ning Yuan grabbed Duan Yanqing's iron rod and pulled him back to Tianning Temple.
Duan Yanqing might still have value, so Ning Yuan preserved his martial arts.
At his current Realm, one Duan Yanqing's cultivation could not bring him a qualitative improvement, so there was no need to rush... By the time Ning Yuan returned, Bao Butong, Feng Boe, and others had already killed, injured, or scattered the remaining Western Xia warriors.
They had basically cleaned up.
Seeing Duan Yanqing, many people immediately showed murderous intent.
"Everyone, wait. This Duan Yanqing has an unusual identity and other uses, so I have decided to temporarily imprison him in Yanz 塢."
Ning Yuan did not give others a chance to shout for his death and spoke directly.
Hearing this, everyone could only swallow the words they were about to say and bowed their fists, saying, "The person was captured by Young Master Murong, so naturally, Young Master Murong will decide."
"That's right, since Young Master Murong thinks they are still useful, we will naturally listen to Young Master Murong."
"We also want to thank Young Master Murong for his rescue, otherwise our lives would not be safe today."
The Beggar Clan members, whose ropes had been untied, immediately expressed their gratitude.
Especially the Four Great Elders, their expressions were even more solemn.
"Young Master Murong is truly righteous. We all suspected him of killing Vice Chief Ma before, but Young Master Murong disregarded past grievances and was willing to save our lives. Thinking about it now, we are truly ashamed!"
Wu Changfeng had a look of remorse.
The others also praised him and nodded in agreement.
They had been poisoned by Bei Su Qing Feng and tied with ropes, essentially lambs to the slaughter.
Especially after a group of them had been brutally killed, they were almost completely wiped out.
If Murong Fu hadn't arrived in time, they would probably all be dead under the Western Xia people's blades by now.
If they died, the entire Beggar Clan would be leaderless and would never be able to rise again.
"Although I have had some friction with the Beggar Clan, you are, after all, the mainstays of my Central Plains. I naturally cannot tolerate the Western Xia people running rampant in the Central Plains."
Ning Yuan said with his arms behind his back, speaking righteously.
"Young Master Murong's righteousness truly makes us feel ashamed!"
"Yes, we cannot let the Western Xia people be presumptuous. The First Rank Hall ambushed us today, and my Beggar Clan will surely avenge this hatred!"
Other Beggar Clan Disciples also echoed.
"It's a pity that my Beggar Clan is currently leaderless."
At this moment, Bai Shijing glanced at Ning Yuan, then suddenly sighed.
As soon as this sentence came out, many people in the Beggar Clan were immediately speechless, and then began to discuss amongst themselves.
"The Law Enforcement Elder is right."
"If Chief Qiao were in power, how would the First Rank Hall dare to bully us?"
"Yes, as soon as the Chief resigned, these Western Xia people became so presumptuous. It's truly hateful!"
"But what should we do now? The Chief is a Khitan descendant, and also a member of Empress Xiao's clan. It's absolutely impossible for my Beggar Clan to let him be the Chief again."
"But if Chief Qiao doesn't take the position, then who among the brothers in the clan can take on this great responsibility?"
