The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 118 Calculation
Everyone set off immediately and returned to the entrance of the Miao King's Tomb.

As soon as he came back, he saw chaos here. The disciples who stayed behind gathered together and quarreled.

Several heads and elders stepped over, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Then he learned about the attack on Shaolin.

The leaders looked at each other, remained calm at first, and gave a few instructions to their trusted followers, saying that everyone gathered here should discuss countermeasures together. When everyone was gathered, they gave an order to restrain and tie up the remaining disciples of Qingcheng Sect.

During this period, some people from Qingcheng Sect suddenly rose up, but fortunately, no one present was weak and no trouble was caused.

At this point, several sect leaders breathed a sigh of relief, gathered together, and called the Hengshan disciple who had escaped back to tell them in detail about the attack on Shaolin.

However, the disciple didn't know much. He only said that when they arrived at Shaolin, they were arranged to stay there. They were told that Master Xingchi was in seclusion for a few days and they would talk after he came out.

As a result, while waiting, suddenly one night, a thunderous sound of fighting was heard.

A few people went out to see, and saw two people fighting in the main hall of Shaolin Temple. The fighting was so huge that it was beyond their understanding of martial arts. The surrounding buildings were destroyed in an instant.

Several people looked closely and found that one of them was the Shaolin abbot, Master Xingchi.

The other person wearing a bronze mask was unknown to the young disciples, but the Beggar Gang's Nine-Bag Elder who went with them exclaimed, "Ji Tianrui!?"

Hearing his exclamation, the man wearing the bronze mask turned around to look at them, then slapped them in the air.

Master Xingchi blocked the palm and asked them to escape quickly.

Several people fled towards the outside of the temple. On the way, they saw that the Shaolin Temple was already a sea of fire, and the Mingjiao disciples were fighting with the Shaolin disciples. In the middle, he was stopped several times by the Mingjiao masters, and he was the only one left.

When he escaped from the temple, he saw that the gate of Shaolin Temple had been breached.

Then he rushed back here and brought back the horrifying news.

Yin Minjun asked the disciple to go down and rest, then turned to look at the several sect leaders: "What should we do?"

No one answered.

Shaolin, Mingjiao. Ji Tianrui.

The young disciples don’t understand, but the masters all grew up in the era of Ji Tianrui.

They knew very well the weight of this name. When he dominated the martial arts world, no one could compare with him. If he had not died and remained silent for fifteen years, it would be hard to imagine what level he would have reached now.

They don't know whether they should wade into this muddy water.

Yongjie, who was listening, stood up and was about to walk out without saying a word.

Li Miao stretched out his hand to stop him: "Master, it's useless for you to go back alone. With your current martial arts, you can't help much."

"Sit down for a moment."

Yongjie was extremely anxious at this time, but he also knew that what Li Miao said made sense, so he forced himself to calm down and stopped.

"Everyone, if you don't have any rules for the time being, just listen to me."

Li Miao stood up.

He originally thought that since most of the Ming Cult leaders had died in Tai'an City and they had lost 500 witchcraft soldiers that they had accumulated for many years, they should stop their activities for a while before making any moves. That was why he thought of rushing to Miaojiang first to solve the hidden danger of Xiao Si and cut off the inheritance of witchcraft.

Wang Hai had reported the Tai'an incident to the imperial court, and the imperial court should have begun to work on destroying the Ming Cult. At this critical juncture, Ji Tianrui would have avoided the limelight, but he actually did such a big thing.

If he is not crazy, then he will fight to the death.

Li Miao had saved the lives of many people in the Miao King's Tomb several times, and had established a certain prestige. At this time, several leaders were hesitating, not knowing what to do, and looked at Li Miao.

"There is something that you may not have heard of yet."

"A month ago, the Ming Cult committed a horrific crime in Tai'an City in the Qi and Lu regions." Li Miao explained himself and briefly told everyone about what happened in Tai'an City. Lao Qifeng was there to testify.

Then Li Miao began to tell the story that he had prepared long ago.

"I know you have been wondering where I came from and why I am here."

"My ancestral home is Tai'an. When I was young, I was accepted by my master and have been practicing martial arts in the sect ever since. I have never been out in the martial arts world."

"I happened to be returning home to visit my family that day, and I encountered this incident. After I survived by chance, I wanted to seek revenge on the Ming Cult. I also intentionally collected methods to prevent witchcraft during this period of time."

"However, the Ming Cult has been hiding underground since fifteen years ago, and I have no way to seek revenge. I thought that since the Ming Cult could do those things in Tai'an City, it must be related to the witches in Miaojiang. So when I heard about the Miao King's Tomb, I hurried here."

"I met Master Deng of the Hengshan Sect in Tai'an and fought alongside him, so Elder Yin was willing to cover for me."

This story is not actually rigorous, but the situation was urgent, so Li Miao could deliberately keep it brief and skip many details.

Anyway, it is not convenient for you masters to ask too many questions. You can just let your imagination run wild on some of the questions and just deal with them for the time being.

"Now that the Ming Cult has appeared, I should go to Shaolin immediately."

"It's only natural that you don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Ming Cult. But there is one thing you can do your part to help with."

Li Miao glanced around at the leaders.

"Miao people, witchcraft."

"In this incident at the Miao King's Tomb, you were all plotted against by the Miao people. We have already formed a mortal enemy."

"The Ming Cult used the Miao people's witchcraft to commit horrific crimes. This witchcraft must not be allowed to remain in the world."

"If you are willing, it will be a good thing for both the public and private sectors. It is a way of revenge, and it is also a way of getting rid of harm for the people."

"Besides -"

Li Miao looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Although the Qingcheng thief has been beheaded, everyone should remember that the man who secretly drew the sword from the Miao King's tomb is still among you."

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. The Qingcheng thieves almost killed you all. If there is another group of people like this left in the southern martial arts world, it will inevitably cause trouble in the future."

"If you guys are going to do something to strangle the inheritance of witchcraft, it's a good opportunity to test it."

"When the time comes, anyone who secretly holds back, or shirks responsibility or delays will be a Miao traitor hiding among us."

"You can kill him yourself."

See the picture poorly.

This is the reason why Li Miao did those things in the Miao King’s Tomb and hid his martial arts.

He wanted to use this incident to force these major sects to do their best to eradicate witchcraft.

The leaders looked at each other and saw the depth in each other's eyes.

They don't want to get involved in the Ming Cult's mess, but when something happens in Shaolin, they need a valid reason to sit on the sidelines.

Being framed by the Miao people using witchcraft and nearly losing his life, and there were also Miao spies hidden in the martial arts world, is a good reason.

The Qingcheng Sect was an insider of the Miao people, so they did not feel sad, but rather felt somewhat happy.

The Qingcheng Sect is a large sect that has been passed down for many years. Now that there is a suitable reason to kill it, several sects can share a lot of benefits.

If there is another one...it would be such a pity.
