Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 38 No Regrets
Xu Bin, the prefect of Chuzhou, was thin, with fair skin, high cheekbones, a goatee, and wore a long white gown.

He rode slowly, his eyes were calm, his edge was restrained, and from the appearance, he seemed quite ordinary.

However, this prefect of Chuzhou, who is over 40 years old, has already entered the Nascent Soul realm. He is in charge of more than a hundred counties in Chuzhou and can be called a local lord. Such a person is by no means as ordinary as his appearance.

Xu Bin heard the voices of the people around him, but he acted as if he didn't hear them and remained calm. He rode to the front, raised his head slightly, and looked at the big dragon Yu Qing. He saw that the other party was also wearing a white robe and was quite elegant. His temperament was somewhat similar to his.

There was a hint of contempt hidden deep in Xu Bin's eyes.

How could this half-human, half-demon dragon, a prisoner from the mountain, be compared with him, the governor of a state who had risen rapidly to the top?
Many people in Chuzhou knew that being the prefect was not his limit and he would move up sooner or later.

If there is no one in the court, he cannot sit in this position.

"The great dragon Yu Qing." Xu Bin spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings gradually became quiet. This huge area was completely silent, and everyone's attention was focused on the prefect of Chuzhou.

Yu Qing also looked at the prefect, only to see that his eyes were half open and half closed, as if he was squinting at him. He continued, "I was ordered to come to Lin'an County to eliminate the demons. You stirred up trouble in Lin'an County, inciting the demons to cause chaos, killing innocent people, and causing countless people to lose their homes. Do you know your crime?"

Yu Qing seemed very calm. He looked at the other party and responded, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. The demons are causing chaos in Lin'an. You should ask yourselves."

"Lin'an County is being plagued by demons right now. You have to plead guilty. Since that's the case..." Xu Bin's eyes were sharp as he looked at the crowd around him and said, "You all came here to help the court slay the demon, but this great demon Jiaolong refuses to plead guilty. If you can slay the great demon Yu Qing, the court will give you a huge reward, and the person who kills the demon can bring back his body."

As soon as these words were spoken, many practitioners were eager to try, with excitement dancing in their eyes.

The body of the great demon dragon at the peak of the fourth realm is a treasure.

The demon elixir, tendons and bones, dragon skin, and dragon flesh and blood of the big demon are all good things. Some are very tonic, and some can be used for cultivation or refining magic weapons.

Whoever kills the great monster can obtain the body of a dragon.

Liu Ji stared at Xu Bin angrily, but Yu Qing next to her was particularly indifferent. The wind blew his robe. Yu Qing looked up and thought of his parents.

When he was young, he thought he was the protagonist of this world. He was so unrestrained and carefree, and he enjoyed taking revenge.

Later he realized that it was only because his father and mother were standing behind him, holding him up on their shoulders, and that he was just one of the many people in the world.

This short but not brilliant life has now come to an end.

He had no joy or sorrow, only some regrets.

Yu Qing turned his eyes, as if looking for something.

Finally, his eyes fell on Li Fan. Seeing the handsome young man, a smile appeared in Yu Qing's calm eyes.

Fortunately, I met a nice young man.

I thought it was a pity before, but now, I will leave the regret of the loss to this young man to continue on.

Turning his eyes back, Yu Qing's body changed, as if a ferocious armor was revealed, his skin turned into dragon skin, and a dragon roar was heard.

Among the crowd, Li Fan saw Yu Qing looking at him with a strange look in his eyes.

He could naturally see that Yu Qing was already seeking death, and he probably also knew that his fate was about to end.

But why would Yu Qing look at him?

Even at that moment just now, he felt a sense of relief and relief from Yu Qing's eyes.

Thinking back to when Yu Qing came to see him in the restaurant before, he was even more confused. What was the relationship between him and Yu Qing?

With a trace of sword intent in his mind, Li Fan stepped forward, dragging Chen Yuan, the head of the Chen family, who looked like a dead body.

"Ok?"

Many people were stunned and looked at the figure walking out in surprise.

Yu Qing was ready to fight, but after seeing Li Fan, he looked at him again.

The young man in white walked forward step by step, and unexpectedly came to the middle of Yu Qing and the crowd. He looked in the direction of Xu Bin, the governor of Chuzhou, and said, "Governor, the demons in Lin'an County are causing chaos, I'm afraid there is another hidden reason."

Everyone was stunned. This area was already quiet, and it was even more silent at this moment.

The practitioners around him had teasing looks in their eyes, and the people around him all looked at Li Fan with unfriendly eyes.

There is solid evidence on this matter, and when the order was given to attack Fulong Villa, demons were rampant and wreaking havoc in Lin'an County. Who else could it be but Yu Qing?
"Who are you?" Xu Bin's eyes fell on Li Fan. He naturally knew who Li Fan was, but he pretended not to know. The background behind Li Fan was not simple. People in Lin'an County only knew that the wanted criminal was a disciple of Lishan, but he knew more.

This young man was brought back to Lishan by that nobleman and raised.

Their feelings must be extraordinary, right?

"Sir, this boy is the wanted criminal, Li Fan." County Magistrate Wang said, then he looked at Li Fan and said, "You bold thief, you colluded with demons and killed innocent people indiscriminately, and you still dare to speak nonsense here."

Li Fan ignored him and continued to look at Xu Bin and said, "This man's name is Chen Yuan, and he is the head of the Chen family in Lin'an County. A woman who went to the Chen family to participate in the demon-slaying conference was abducted by a demon at the Chen family, but was later found in the City God Temple. The ghost cultivator who appeared that day was his concubine, the mother of Chen Li."

"That's nonsense." County Magistrate Wang interrupted, "Sir, this thief's words cannot be trusted."

"Chen Yuan, you speak for yourself." Li Fan lowered his head and said to Chen Yuan who was lying on the ground.

Chen Yuan raised his head, his hair was loose, and he was already a broken body. With Li Fan's character, he would definitely kill him. Thinking of the people at home and what would happen after his death, Chen Yuan suddenly shouted, "My Lord, this thief not only colluded with the demons, but also killed my son. I beg you to kill this thief."

Chen Yuan cried and screamed, and the crowd was immediately in an uproar. County Magistrate Wang felt relieved, but he was nervous when he saw Chen Yuan. If Chen Yuan gave himself up under threat, it would be troublesome.

Li Fan was not surprised. When Chen Yan said those words, he had already anticipated that Chen Yuan might turn against him.

"You heard it, do you admit your guilt?" Xu Bin looked at Li Fan and said calmly.

It seems that this crime cannot be washed away from me?
Li Fan looked down at Chen Yuan with mockery in his eyes. He actually squatted down, gathered the sword energy in his palm into a sharp sword, and gave Chen Yuan a cold smile.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Yuan's heart trembled and he crawled back.

Puff... The sharp sword directly cut Chen Yuan's throat, and blood dripped down. Chen Yuan covered his throat tightly and looked into the crowd, as if looking for something.

Finally, Chen Yuan found Chen Yan, and his eyes gradually became peaceful. He hoped that Chen Yan could keep his promise.

"How dare you." Xu Bin scolded coldly in a low voice.

The people around also fell silent at this time, staring at the young man in white in shock. He actually executed Chen Yuan, the head of the Chen family, in front of the prefect?
"Do you know what you are doing?" Xu Bin looked at Li Fan and said.

"This person colluded with demons and killed many people. I am eliminating harm for the people." Li Fan responded: "Your Excellency the prefect can send someone to the Chen family to take a look. They will naturally know that what I said is true. Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes. The evidence is solid that the Chen family colluded with demons."

"Your Excellency the Governor."

At this time, Li Fan saw a familiar figure walking out. It was Chen Yan. He bowed to Xu Bin and said, "I am Chen Yan from the Chen family in Chuzhou. This thief went to the Chen family not long ago and slaughtered everyone in the Chen family, even the elderly, the weak, women and children. The Chen family in Lin'an County is a branch of the Chen family in Chuzhou. Please ask the governor to make a decision for the Chen family."

"Did you kill the entire Chen family?" After hearing Chen Yan's words, Li Hongyi walked to Li Fan and looked at him angrily.

"Li Hongyi..." Many people in Lin'an County recognized Li Hongyi. Seeing her and Li Fan standing together, they couldn't help but whisper about something. How could Li Hongyi be related to Fulong Villa?
When Li Fan heard Chen Yan's words, he was stunned at first, then he laughed, and his laugh was particularly sarcastic. He lowered his head to look at Chen Yuan lying on the ground, only to see that Chen Yuan had not yet completely died. He was covering his throat with his eyes wide open.

Exhausted!

Not to mention Chen Yuan, Li Fan also didn't expect it. With so many people in the Chen family, Chen Yan actually killed them all?
It seems that he was too naive and underestimated the cruelty of these people.

Even if he went to seek revenge, he couldn't kill indiscriminately. The people from the Chen family actually killed all the Chen family members.

Chen Yuan's death was really unjust.

"This young man looks good, but I didn't expect him to be such a beast in human form, so cruel and bloodthirsty."

"Since they are in league with the devil, we should get rid of them together." Everyone said one after another.

"Kill him!" Some people were also bewitched and showed murderous intentions.

"Do you admit your guilt?" Xu Bin asked again.

Li Fan did not respond. He looked at Yu Qing and said, "It seems that I am the same as the senior."

However, it doesn't matter if there is one more charge.

It’s just a pity that those who slay demons are hated by everyone, while those who collude with demons are worshipped.

The world is a little upside down.

Yu Qing smiled at this moment, and said to Li Fan, "In this case, I have no regrets."

Li Fan didn't understand this sentence!
