Chapter 745 Sword Immortal
“Bold!!!”

This time, not only the people sitting there were scolding him, but also those around him were scolding him angrily.

In their view, even if this person has some unusual skills, they are officials appointed by the imperial court and blessed with dragon energy. No matter how many Taoist skills he has, they are nothing but mirages. Even if he is physically strong and can climb walls and fly over rooftops, he can be eliminated by just two or three teams of soldiers.

Therefore, if the people who practice Taoism are polite, they may be able to be friendly and help fool the ignorant people under their rule, but if they do not know what is good for them, they will be crushed in an instant.

Supernatural powers and Taoist magic cannot defeat the power of officials, and magic cannot defeat nobles. This has been verified countless times over thousands of years, without exception.

Therefore, even if there are one or two daring Taoists in the long river of history, the final result is the same.

Seeing Li Ming so defiant, the magistrate could no longer be magnanimous. His face immediately changed and he shouted, "Leaders, help me capture this man!"

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"

At this time, Ming Lingzi hurried forward to smooth things over with a smile on his face.

"This fellow Daoist Miao Lingzi has just arrived and has just started practicing in the secular world. He doesn't understand the rules of the mortal world, so please don't mind me, gentlemen."

Ming Lingzi was a true cultivator. Xuanxin Temple had enjoyed an excellent reputation in the local area for many years and had some prestige. Ming Lingzi was also good at specializing in business and was familiar with many officials. Otherwise, he would not have been able to invite the prefect to come in person.

With his appearance, the atmosphere eased a little.

The prefect waved his sleeves and said, "Hmph, what an ignorant Taoist! If it weren't for Ming Lingzi pleading for you, you would have been a prisoner by now!"

Ming Lingzi groaned in his heart. Although the scene was similar to what he expected, for some reason he always felt scared, as if his own Taoist lineage would be cut off if he offended Miao Lingzi. When he saw that he was about to offend all the adults, he immediately jumped out.

Otherwise, according to his idea, he should let the young Taoist suffer a loss and then try to make peace, the effect might be better!

Seeing Miao Lingzi like this, Li Ming sighed and said, "What do those of us who seek the Dao actually seek? Nothing more than a free and easy life. You, who are servile and servile, and go against your nature, how can you possibly see the Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Ming Lingzi's face became even more bitter, and he almost knelt on the ground to beg Li Ming to say less.

If the power of Taoism is revealed and the mortal dragon energy cannot restrain it, then it is naturally worth considering so much and you can be free and easy. However, the reality is that the Taoist magic is suppressed by the dragon energy. Once it offends the court, it means death. Even an imperial decree will come down and the entire Taoist school will be buried with it. How can such a Taoist be free and easy?

Ming Lingzi said this in his heart, but of course he couldn't say it out loud, so he just begged bitterly.

"Senior, I know you are highly accomplished, but these people are all important officials of the imperial court. Although we are outsiders, we are also willing to serve the emperor. These adults govern on behalf of the emperor, and naturally they treat us the same way."

Ming Lingzi spoke earnestly, and what he said was nothing more than wanting Li Ming to know that saving his life was not shameful.

But Li Ming didn't care and just laughed.

Just at this moment, the Dharma Assembly over there officially began with the sound of a bell.

Li Ming pointed to the sky and said, "Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, the power of heaven is unfathomable. Who bestowed upon him the title?"

This remark hit the vital points of these officials directly. Their faces changed drastically, becoming ten times uglier than before. Even if Ming Lingzi's face was ten times bigger this time, it would be useless. He said such words in front of all the officials. If they did nothing, once the news leaked out, they would not only lose their official hats, but even their lives would be in danger!
"Come here, kill this Taoist who is spreading evil words to confuse the people!" the prefect shouted immediately.

Many constables and guards, disguised as ordinary civilians, had already rushed forward. Da Huang, who was lying at the gate of the Taoist temple, wagging his tail, suddenly let out a long neigh, leaped up, and rushed forward through the gate.

The roar of a tiger was far louder than that of ordinary wild beasts in the mountains, and its powerful sound frightened the guards so much that they dared not move forward.

Li Ming smiled lightly, touched the word "Wang" on Da Huang's head, and smiled.

"What are you afraid of? You are working for the court. If he dares to drive the tiger to hurt people, there will be immediate backlash. It's just a small trick. Go ahead!" The prefect said coldly.

The people around had already been frightened by Da Huang and fled in all directions. Only a dozen brave ones hid in the corner of the square and watched.

Ming Lingzi had not expected that Li Ming's character would be so stubborn and he was not afraid of the imperial power at all. It was definitely not his wish for the situation to turn out like this, but since things had come to this point, it would be useless for him to mediate.

Li Ming looked at the officers and soldiers who were eager to try, as well as Da Huang who was gritting his teeth, and suddenly smiled.

"Here comes the sword!"

With the sound of a sword coming, Li Ming pointed his finger, and a white star suddenly fell from the sky.

"Sword Immortal?!"

Ming Lingzi was shocked. It was extremely difficult to become a sword immortal in this world, especially with a flying sword. To make a flying sword, the entire sect had to work hard for ten generations, collecting metals, gathering spiritual herbs, refining it day and night, and patterning it month after month. Day after day, year after year, there was only a slight chance of turning stubborn iron into a flying sword and raising a sword god.

Once such a flying sword is mastered, it will naturally be extremely powerful. Within a hundred steps, one can take off a person's head with just a wave of the hand, making it impossible to defend against it. There are only three famous sword immortals in the world today, and all of them have inherited the flying sword of their predecessors.

A white light appeared, and a mighty Dao that disregarded the life and death of mortals and treated all living things as worthless. As his spiritual light appeared, it instantly pressed down on the entire audience!
In an instant, everyone present felt an indescribable sharp sword light pointing at them, as if their lives would be taken away in an instant.

My breathing is tightening, my heart is beating, my blood is boiling...

The next moment, a dazzling white light appeared, the sound of swords shook the sky, and a long rainbow circled. In the sword light, the tiger under the Taoist's crotch roared, it was truly an immortal descending to earth!
The commotion frightened the personal guards so much that they retreated and dared not move forward, fearing that they would offend the immortal.

"Great, great, you are so brave!!!" The prefect was even more furious. He took the official seal from his waist and held it high in his hand.

This is the current seal, three inches high, with carved fish, snakes and pillars, representing the fortune of the people of a state. Once this seal comes out, it means that one is a great Taoist master, and 90% of his magic power is gone. When one is below the level of a Taoist master, it is as if a mountain is pressing down on his head. Not to mention the circulation of Taoist power and the use of Taoist magic, even breathing is difficult!
"Bold Taoist, why don't you kneel down!"

The prefect shouted loudly.

In the void, there seemed to be a faint roar of a dragon. It was because his official seal was recognized by the royal family. In addition to the luck of the people in the state, he could also borrow a wisp of dragon energy from the dark and restrain all things!

This time Ming Lingzi finally couldn't hold on any longer, his knees softened and he fell to the ground, unable to even lift his head.

The prefect looked at this scene and felt a little pleased.

This is also the reason why he is confident in Li Ming. The dragon energy and official energy can restrain all Taoist magic. This is the iron rule!
It’s not that the Taoists haven’t thought of a way, but the source of the Taoist power in this world lies in the power of incense and people’s thoughts. Among the ignorant people, the most fearful thing is the imperial power of the court, so naturally they are restrained.

No matter how profound the Taoism is, it can only affect minor officials at most. Once you really have an official position, 90% of the Taoism in the world will be invalid. But he is a third-rank official who controls the life and death of the people in the state. He has a strong official aura, so no matter what kind of magic you use, he can break it!
But Li Ming just looked at him with a teasing look, as if he saw something interesting. What surprised him even more was that the sword light circling around Li Ming was still moving up and down as if it had life.
