A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 16 Yue Yuan's public-spiritedness and righteousness earn him the title of "Young H

The vegetable market entrance in Hengyang City.

The entire market was packed with people, three layers deep.

Because Liu Zhengfeng retired from the martial arts world, many figures from various gangs came to Hengyang, including members of large factions and lone swordsmen.

When news of the Huashan Sect's public trial of the notorious womanizer Tian Boguang spread, people from all walks of life in the martial arts world gathered there. Among them were some victims and others who knew the truth.

When Yue Yuan appeared carrying Tian Boguang, the scene was already bustling with noise.

Yue Yuan casually tossed Tian Boguang to the ground, then clasped his hands in a salute to the four directions. Yi Lin and Linghu Chong followed suit, clasping their hands in a salute to the surroundings.

"Fellow martial arts practitioners, I am Yue Yuan from the Huashan Sect. This is my senior brother Linghu Chong on the left, and this is my senior sister Yilin from the Hengshan Sect on the right."

My master, Mr. Junzi Jianyue, once taught that evil and heretical doctrines should be eradicated by everyone.

The reason we have gathered you all here today is to hold a public trial for the notorious womanizer Yue Buqun. We hope that everyone will actively contribute evidence, and in the end, we will conduct a public trial based on the amount of evidence presented.

"The Huashan Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a prestigious and righteous sect; the successor of the Gentleman's Sword is indeed a gentleman."

"As expected of the successor of the Gentleman's Sword, heroes indeed emerge from among the young."

"The Huashan Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the leader of the righteous path, and the Hengshan Sect is not bad either..."

......

Listening to the discussion among the crowd below, Yue Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

He couldn't imagine how interesting things would be if these people found out his identity.

At this moment, a man dressed in hemp clothing flew onto the stage, shouting, "Young Master Yue!"

"Sir, is there any injustice you have suffered?"

"I'm here to provide evidence that Tian Boguang broke into the home of the gentry Master Xie and murdered his entire family in Jinling Prefecture, raped Miss Xie, and finally set fire to the Xie family's house."

Yue Yuan quickly spread a white cloth on the wall and wrote down Tian Boguang's crimes on it.

"Thank you for providing this evidence of the villain's crimes, sir. Is there anything else?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another old man came up.

"So that Young Master Yue may know, I am the steward of Chang'an, known for my 'thousand-pound steel whip and iron plaque.' Tian Boguang, a ruthless and insane man, attacked my second young lady, causing her to be humiliated and ultimately hang herself."

"Although I did not die at his hands, there is a cause for every effect, and Tian Boguang was the cause, so he can also be considered guilty."

Once this started, one person after another went up on stage, either reading aloud or weeping softly, with evidence of their crimes written all over the walls.

At this moment, he looked at Linghu Chong by the platform and asked, "Senior Brother, do you still think this person is a good person?"

Linghu Chong lowered his head as he faced the wall covered with evidence of his crimes; this incident had a profound impact on his mind.

He thought Tian Boguang was an upright man and didn't deserve to die, but he never expected that so many people would die because of him.

He stepped forward and patted Linghu Chong on the shoulder. "Senior Brother, think about it carefully. In this world, what is wrong is wrong. Just because he is on good terms with you doesn't mean he is right."

After educating Linghu Chong, he returned to the forefront.

"Tian Boguang's crimes are too numerous to count. Killing him like this is too lenient. If you have any grudges against him, settle your scores and grievances. Do not kill him lightly. Cut him into a thousand pieces."

"Yes, to be torn to pieces!"

"To be torn to pieces!"

......

At his command, several avengers who had a blood feud with Tian Boguang tied him to a cross, just like they had done back then, and then stripped him of his clothes and covered him with a fishing net.

Upon seeing this, Yue Yuan turned around and covered Yi Lin's eyes with his hand.

"Don't look, or you'll get your eyes dirty."

Yilin nodded obediently.

Yue Yuan's actions filled her with immense sweetness. She thought, if... if they could stay together forever, how wonderful that would be.

Unfortunately, all of this is just a mirage, and all dreams eventually end.

Yue Yuan didn't notice Yi Lin's change; he simply kept quietly counting the number of slashes.

Tian Boguang is truly resilient; even after being cut 3,600 times, his heart was still beating.

But after the others finished performing, it was his turn.

He walked up to the unconscious Tian Boguang and placed his palm on his head.

Tian Boguang, Tian Boguang, you can go in peace. I'll gladly accept your Three-Fold Cloud Lightness Skill and Gale Blade Technique.

Remember to reincarnate in a less desirable place in your next life. They're short of male actors for action movies there, so you can satisfy your lust there. Then I'll watch you on pirated websites.

You're welcome. My name is Red Scarf.

By draining Tian Boguang's memories, it was as if he had squeezed out the last bit of value from him.

[Lightness skill detected: "Triple Cloud" This skill has two forms: forward stepping and backward stepping. When mastered, it can allow one to travel a thousand miles a day]

[Martial art detected: "Whirlwind Blade Technique", also known as the Thirteen Forms of Flying Sand and Stones]

[Please assemble yourself]

He replaced the Huashan Basic Lightness Skill in his skill slot with the "Three Layers of Clouds" skill. Immediately, the method of circulating internal energy appeared in his mind, and his true energy immediately followed the circulation route to connect all three Yin and three Yang meridians of the foot.

He now felt that with just a slight jump, he could fly a hundred meters, truly deserving of the title of the number one lightness skill in the game.

Having learned the lightness skill, Tian Boguang was no longer of any use to him. He twisted the man's head off and casually tossed it aside.

Several victims knelt down in front of Yue Yuan. "Thank you, Young Hero Yue, for upholding justice for us unfortunate people. We have no way to repay you, but we wish you a long and healthy life."

"Oh dear, no, no, you mustn't!"

Yue Yuan appeared humble and ashamed on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.

These martial arts figures haven't really had much good food to eat, yet this demonic cult member killed a scoundrel and gained the favor of so many righteous people.

He very humbly helped all of them up from their knees. "Please rise quickly, what are you doing? I am just a junior, this is truly unacceptable."

"Young hero, your benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled. You have avenged us the aggrieved ones. You deserve my deepest respect."

The victims, regardless of their status, have only one demand: who can avenge them and clear their name? Otherwise, they are like clay statues in a temple, no matter how much gold plating they have on the surface.

What is fake will never become real.

But Yue Yuan truly helped them eliminate Tian Boguang, who had been causing trouble for many years. In their eyes, he was a real god or Buddha, so what was wrong with paying homage to him?

After being helped up, Butler Huo bowed to the crowd and said, "Young Hero Yue Yuan is so public-spirited and righteous, helping the martial world rid it of a great scourge. As a disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he truly deserves the title 'Suppressor of Mountains.' From now on, we will respectfully address him as Young Hero Suppressor of Mountains. What do you all think?"

Yue means a great mountain, such as Mount Hua in the west; Zhen means reliable.

Together they form a young hero as reliable as a mountain.

As soon as he spoke, the people around him looked at each other, and finally bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Hero Zhenyue."

As soon as they spoke, the group of martial arts practitioners below began to chant, "Young Hero Zhenyue, unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness!"

"The young hero of Zhenyue is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness."

"The young hero of Zhenyue is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness."

......

Faced with the shouts of the crowd, Yue Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to the front of the stage.

He knew the saying "the tallest tree catches the most wind," especially since he was an undercover agent for the Demonic Sect. Once his identity was exposed, he would likely die without a burial place.

He pressed down with both hands, forcefully interrupting the crowd's shouts.

"Thank you all for your kind words, but my martial arts skills are mediocre and I am too young to be worthy of the title of Zhenyue. This matter is off the table."

Butler Huo was displeased upon hearing this and immediately retorted, "As the saying goes, ambition knows no age. Some people live their entire lives in mediocrity, but Young Hero Yue, though young, has accomplished more than many older men. How can he not deserve the title of 'Zhen Yue'?"

"Young Master Zhenyue!"

"Young Master Zhenyue!"

[Ding! The system has detected that the host has acquired a new title, "Young Hero of Zhenyue," and has awarded a treasure chest. The host's title has been updated.]

[Henchmen of the Demonic Cult]

【Young Hero of Zhenyue】

what?

Has he really become the Young Hero of Zhenyue?

But his ancestors were all demons and monsters of the evil sect. He killed Tian Boguang mainly to vent his anger, to avenge Yilin, and for his own selfish desires. How did he become a righteous young hero?

Butler Huo, you've really put me in a terrible situation!
