The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 252 Demonic Man!

July, the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing.

Huguang Provincial Administration Commission, Hengzhou Prefecture.

Hengshan School.

Shen Xunning has been a little distressed recently, no, very distressed.

She is the direct descendant of Hengshan Sect and the only candidate for the next generation leader. She has set the goal of revitalizing Hengshan Sect since she was young, and she is convinced that she will be the one to revitalize Hengshan Sect.

She also has the qualifications.

Because she is only 25 years old this year, she is already a first-class master, not much inferior to her master Yin Minjun.

But in recent months, she has lost the heart to even practice swordplay.

Because she felt that the Hengshan Sect was about to be destroyed.

Since the beginning of this year, a lot of things have happened in the world.

Everything started with the assassination attempt on the emperor by the Ming Cult on New Year's Eve.

It is said that at that time an unknown master named Yang emerged from the Ming Cult, and with his peerless martial arts, he broke through the defense of the Jinyiwei, blew up the emperor's carriage, and knocked the emperor unconscious on the spot.

Although he was killed immediately, as the people present at the time dispersed into the martial arts world and the news spread, the entire martial arts world seemed to have become different.

January.

Seven masters who should have died long ago suddenly reappeared in the martial arts world, committing evil and hunting down masters, as if they were using them to deduce some martial arts skills. This made everyone feel insecure, and they were called the "Seven Killers".

What’s frightening is that even the top masters in the martial arts world are no match for them.

One of the demons even invaded Shaolin, as if he wanted to find something there.

Just when everyone thought that Master Xingchi was dead and Shaolin might not be spared, Master Yongjie, who had just taken over as abbot last year, stood up and smashed him into a pulp with his iron fists.

So the Seven Killers became Six Killers, and the remaining six demons also restrained themselves and hid their tracks.

According to legend, the fight was like that between gods, and it was not comparable to that between top masters. The monk's robes were shattered by the fight, revealing the face of a beautiful woman growing on his chest.

Some people who like to gossip said that he might have practiced some shocking evil skills to be able to compete with the "Seven Killers".

Of course, given Shaolin's reputation, this statement was quickly suppressed.

March.

Three of the "Six Killers" joined forces to attack Wudang, and none of the masters in Wudang could survive a single move from them.

Just when the Wudang disciples were in despair, the Wudang leader politely led the three of them into the back mountain of Wudang.

Nobody knows what happened.

Anyway, only one of the "Six Killers" escaped from Wudang, and the other two disappeared quietly in the back mountain of Wudang.

So six kills became four kills.

April.

Suddenly, a hidden sect emerged in the land of Bashu, named "Sword King Pavilion".

How could he allow others to snore beside his bed? The Tang Clan in Shu immediately sent several elders to the house to reason with him.

Unexpectedly, a man walked out of the Sword King Pavilion, wrapped his eyes with silk cloth, tied his feet with a belt, held the sword in one hand, and allowed several Tang Sect elders to besiege him with hidden weapons.

Several elders tried their best to launch the hidden weapons, but at the last moment, they saw that all the hidden weapons were knocked down by this man's sword, forming a line of words on the ground.

"The King of Shu, the best sword in the world."

This person took off the silk blindfold and sneered at the world's top masters, saying that they were frogs in a well and had no idea of the profoundness of the realm of heaven and man.

"Heavenly man".

This concept then spread throughout the world.

But later, an elder of the Tang Clan, whose surname was not Tang for some unknown reason, seemed to have some relationship with the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

After hearing that the newly appointed Northern Pacification Commissioner of the Jinyiwei had visited the Tang Clan, Jianwang Pavilion gave in and stopped competing with the Tang Clan for territory and disciples.

June.

Because the emperor was protected by the Jinyiwei when he was assassinated, but the Mingjiao master almost succeeded, the fear of the Jinyiwei in the martial arts world was greatly reduced.

Several bandits and evil sects teamed up to kill a team of Jinyiwei who were out on business, and they showed off in a big way, trying to make a name for themselves.

But within half a month, their heads were hung on the gates of the nearby city. The people who did it were the newly appointed centurions under the Northern Pacification Office.

"Iron Hand Shura", Wang Hai.

"Ruthless Sword", Mei Qinghe.

"Master Lingxu", An Ziyang.

"Gu Immortal", Li Xiaosi.

They are all outstanding figures among the first-class, and they are all very young. I am afraid that they will reach the top in a few years.

So the condemnation of Jin Yiwei in the martial arts world stopped temporarily, but everyone knew that these four top masters alone could not control the situation. Sooner or later, the top masters, or even the "celestial beings" mentioned by the Sword King Pavilion, would attack Jin Yiwei.

I just don't know if the newly appointed Northern Pacification Commissioner can handle it.

July.

The thing that troubled Shen Xunning the most happened.

The Taishan sect was wiped out last year, and only four of the Five Mountains sword sects are left. The Five Mountains Alliance collapsed, and the country is in a precarious situation.

No one expected that the four Yue sect leaders: Deng Baixuan, Zhang Jingfeng, Liu Baiyun, and Zhou Yingxue would resign from the positions of leaders together, give way to others, and then disappear.

Even Shen Xunning, the direct disciple, didn't know where his master had gone.

The person who took over as the head of Hengshan Sect was Shen Xunning's master, Yin Minjun.

At this critical moment, it stands to reason that Yin Minjun should search high and low, form alliances, and at least unite the remaining Four Mountains, so that he can find a trace of stability in today's martial arts world.

But this is what Shen Xunning is most distressed about.

Her mentor, Yin Minjun, has never left the mountain since the beginning of the year.

She was bewitched by a man.

All day long he neither practiced sword skills nor made friends with other sects. He just stayed in a small courtyard inside the sect, hanging out with the man.

Yes, the man was outstanding in appearance, and even many young disciples in the sect couldn't help blushing when they saw him. Many disciples also secretly fell in love with him, but they didn't dare to say it out loud because of Yin Minjun's prestige.

But, Master!
You are the leader!
How can you be obsessed with beauty!
Countless allusions ran through Shen Xunning’s mind, such as “The spring night is short and the sun rises early, from now on the king will not hold court early”, “Xiao Lian’s jade body lies across the night, and it has been reported that Zhou’s army has entered Jinyang”, and so on.

"Today, I must explain everything to Master!"

Shen Xunning walked quickly to the outside of Yin Minjun's courtyard and reached out to knock on the door.

Suddenly, she stopped.

There were faint voices coming from inside.

"Li Lang, what do you think of my sword?"

"It would be better if your waist was a little softer. Your ancestor should be shorter than you, so this sword should be slightly lower. Come, I will hold your hand and use it once."

In an instant, Shen Xunning's face turned red, and then he became furious.

You are a demon who deceived my master! How dare you deceive my master! And you dare to say what the stature of my Hengshan Sect's founder is!

Shen Xunning suppressed the anger in his heart and knocked heavily on the door.

"Master, I want to see you!"

There was a slight sound from inside the door, and after a moment, Yin Minjun's voice was heard.

"come in."

Shen Xunning pushed the door open and walked in, looking at Yin Minjun.

Her clothes were neat, but her face was flushed and her hair was disheveled by her ears, and it seemed that she had not had time to tidy it up.

Shen Xunning looked viciously at the handsome man sitting beside Yin Minjun at the stone table, cursing in his heart.

"Demon man!"

Li Miao didn't care at all. He poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.

"Little brat, are you glaring at me?"
