A few days later, Munin gave up. Digging a tunnel was not going to work, and there was no end to the invisible barrier underground.
"Is anyone here?" A timid voice sounded outside the wide open grocery store.
"Yes." Munin sat cross-legged in the store and slowly opened his eyes. There was a timid little girl standing outside the door. Her clothes were not bad.
"Are … are you Swordsman Mu?" The little girl grabbed the corner of her floral clothes and looked at Munin with tears in her eyes.
"It's me. What's the matter? Just tell me." Munin's heart moved. He felt that someone finally came to him for help. Naturally, he would take care of everything.
"My father wants to kill me." The little girl said with tears falling down.
A trace of surprise flashed across Mu Ning's face. He said resolutely, "With me here, no one can kill you."
"But he called a lot of soldiers to find us. Mother has been taken away." The little girl said while crying.
"Soldiers! Are you from the City Lord's Mansion? "Munin stood up and walked to the door. He touched the little girl's head.
Through the Mind Communication Technique, he found out that she was really from the City Lord's Mansion.
He was surprised that the little girl in front of him was actually the daughter of the freckled scholar, Wen Quxiu.
Through the little girl's memory, Munin knew that Wen Quxiu should be in the City Lord's Mansion. Now, he asked the people of the City Lord's Mansion to capture his wife and daughter and said that he wanted to kill them.
The little girl was hidden by her mother and escaped with great difficulty.
She was pure and innocent. Naturally, she did not know about the hatred between her father and Munin. She also heard that Munin was a hero. She had no choice but to come here with hope.
This situation puzzled Munin, but this was the only information in the little girl's memory.
"What the hell?" Munin was puzzled. The freckled scholar gave him a sinister feeling. He was constantly scheming behind his back.
Although he did not care, he was somewhat annoyed. If there was a chance to kill the freckled scholar, he would not let it go.
Now that his daughter had come to him for help, he really couldn't understand.
Munin guessed that it might be a trap, but the little girl was innocent, so he said calmly, "Don't worry, those who dare to come here to catch you are tired of living."
"But my mother was taken away by them." The little girl looked pitiful.
"Don't worry, I will save him." Munin said. Of course, there was something he didn't say. Once the little girl's mother did something evil, even if she was saved, she would be killed.
Since she was the freckled scholar's wife and had asked him to save her life, he naturally had to draw a clear line between gratitude and grudges. Those who deserved to die must die.
It was inconvenient to bring a girl along, so Munin casually knocked on the door of a female neighbor, took some money, and asked the other party to take care of the girl for a period of time.
After doing all this, Munin found that his cultivation had increased rapidly, and the range of the invisible barrier had expanded a lot, including the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
However, the cell where the five girls were locked up should still be outside the invisible barrier. Otherwise, he would have gone directly to save them instead of waiting for the execution.
Early the next morning, the girl's parents came to Munin.
Munin asked them to drive the carriage, and he hid in it.
He was mainly worried that with his current reputation, it would be better not to expose himself.
If the people of the City Lord's Mansion executed the five girls in the cell because of him, then he could only watch helplessly.
The City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of Green Rock City, and it was the most prosperous place.
All the rich and powerful people were gathered here.
Under the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, it was naturally very peaceful, and there was no need to be exploited by other gangs.
Like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon, the many noble houses surrounded the majestic City Lord's Mansion in the middle.
There was a square in front of the gate, and people of all shapes and sizes gathered here.
In the corner, there was a bluestone platform, which was stained with blood all year round, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.
It was the famous beheading. Every once in a while, a group of people would be killed.
Most of the people were not innocent, but there were also many who died unjustly.
Every time someone was killed, the City Lord's Mansion would make a solemn announcement, explaining everything clearly. It was hard to say whether it was true or not.
After a long time, most people were no longer afraid of killing people, and they were never tired of it. They came early to wait near the beheading platform.
They wanted to see which hated criminal was killed, and they were very happy.
When there were more people, there was a lot of discussion.
"Which villain is it this time?" someone who was illiterate asked curiously.
"Anyway, they are all villains, and they deserve to be killed."
"Ah, it's hard to say," someone said vaguely.
"I heard that someone killed Yu Zijin?"
"That bastard really deserved to die. That means the person who is going to be executed is a big hero, and he got rid of a scourge for Green Rock City." Someone said through gritted teeth.
"Be careful with your words, or disaster may come from your mouth."
"In this world, good people don't live long."
"I heard that it was five delicate girls, can they really kill Yu Zijin?" Someone was doubtful.
"Five girls are going to be executed? Whose daughters are they? What a sin."
… …
When the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion drove out the prison wagons from the side gate, the square was silent, and people looked over with fear.
There were a total of five prison wagons, and they walked around the square once before slowly moving toward the beheading platform.
"Eh, that's not right."
"That's right, didn't they say there were five girls? Why is there a man?"
"Although the other four are women, it's not appropriate to call them girls."
"Someone must be talking nonsense, how can they be called five girls?"
… …
When the prison wagons arrived near the beheading platform, the criminals were escorted out one by one.
Munin had arrived a long time ago, and he had been hiding in the carriage. He was also surprised when he checked with his divine sense.
The five people who were escorted out were not five young girls. They were indeed the freckled scholar Wen Quxiu and his wife and concubines.
Until now, Munin still didn't understand what was going on.
Other than the twenty or so soldiers, there were two leaders.
One of them was Captain Zhang Yu, and the other one should be a clerk.
"Wen Quxiu, known as the freckled scholar, is one of the main figures of the Qingping Gang. He has committed countless crimes on Daping Street and Gaozhu Street, and according to the law, he should be beheaded. His wife and three concubines are all accomplices, and they are all guilty … "The clerk with the bearing sat in front of the table and read.
Wen Quxiu and his wife were kneeling on the blood-stained bluestone platform.
Behind one of them stood an armored soldier wearing a black mask, holding a shining long saber.
Munin didn't stay idle, and quietly left the carriage, using the Floating Cloud Technique.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he quietly approached the clerk like a ghost.
There were no other experts nearby except for Zhang Yu, who was an early-stage Houtian Warrior. Naturally, they didn't notice his actions.
Munin found out a lot of things through the Heart Talk Technique, but he couldn't help but reveal himself and scold, "A bunch of bastards!"
"Who are you, how dare you stand here, do you want to rob the execution ground?" The clerk was shocked when someone suddenly appeared beside him, and subconsciously scolded.
"Why are you here? You have repeatedly provoked the City Lord's Mansion, do you really think I don't dare to take you down? "Zhang Yu pressed the long sword on his waist and questioned.
