The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 267 Emei
Outside the city of Chongqing, Li Miao waved behind him and said goodbye to the two gang leaders.

The matter has been settled. Lao Qifeng and Yu Qing are both clear-headed people who will not hesitate. Li Miao, the celestial being, has been taken away. As for other matters, Lao Qifeng can send people to Shuntian Prefecture to handle them.

After all, the Beggars' Sect had cooperated with Li Miao's men before, and the invitation was delivered to Li Miao through Wang Hai, so they were already familiar with the procedure and there was no need for Li Miao to send anyone to follow them.

Hong Chou followed behind Li Miao without saying a word.

His life was almost over, and he came here this time to use his life to prove the sincerity of the Beggars' Sect. Naturally, Li Miao would not let him go back to the Beggars' Sect.

Li Miao twisted his fingers and glanced at him.

Li Miao can heal his injuries, but not now.

This man was indeed quite famous for his chivalry and upright character. But after all, he had been away from the Beggars' Sect for more than 20 years. Even Lao Qifeng was not sure what he had done and how much his character had changed during this period. This was one of the reasons why he did not hesitate to bring him to Li Miao.

Moreover, his encounter with the middle-aged man seemed too coincidental, and neither Li Miao nor Lao Qifeng would easily believe his one-sided story. Lao Qifeng handed him over to Li Miao, intending to push this hot potato away.

So Li Miao would neither let him leave nor treat his injuries immediately.

He will keep this person by his side and observe him for a period of time. If he does not reveal any flaws when he is dying, Li Miao will consider recruiting him.

Let’s get back to the present.

After leaving Chongqing City, Li Miao reached out and grabbed Shen Xunning's collar and lifted her up.

"Hey? Master?"

Just as Shen Xunning was about to ask Li Miao why he mentioned her, she heard Li Miao asking Hong Chou with a smile.

"Old man, you won't die if you run a few steps, right?"

"will not."

Hong Chou replied in a muffled voice.

"Then let's walk."

Li Miao smiled.

As soon as Shen Xunning opened his mouth, cold wind rushed into his mouth, and the surrounding scenery quickly receded, even his vision became blurred.

"Master~~~~Master~~~~"

Accompanied by Shen Xunning's elongated scream, Li Miao rushed straight towards Mount Emei at a speed far exceeding that of a galloping horse.

--------

"vomit--"

Shen Xunning held onto the tree with one hand, her face pale and she kept retching.

Hong Chou on the side also had a pale face. Although he was not as embarrassed as Shen Xunning, his chest was also heaving. He looked at Li Miao in surprise and doubt.

Li Miao was at ease, even his hair was neat and tidy. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards Mount Emei.

A moment later, the bushes beside the road shook, and several figures rushed out, rushed in front of Li Miao, and knelt on one knee.

"Suppressing Envoy!"

"Ah."

Li Miao looked at Mount Emei.

"Is there any movement?"

"No, there is no movement."

One person replied.

"Even if I deliberately appeared in front of the Emei Sect disciples who came down the mountain to buy things, there would be nothing unusual on the mountain."

"Oh?"

Li Miao raised his eyebrows.

Regardless of whether Ruan Mei returned to Emei or not, the Jinyiwei was clearly hanging over their heads, so the Emei sect should have made some reaction, whether it was panicking and deploying defenses, fleeing down the mountain, or going up to make friends. At the very least, they should have tested the sect's attitude.

What kind of rule is this of pretending not to see anything?
"Got it, follow me up the mountain."

Li Miao walked up the mountain.

Mount Emei has a total of four mountains and 72 peaks. The Emei School is located on the main peak. One-third of the mountain from the top of the mountain is exposed above the ground only in summer and autumn, and is covered with ice and snow at other times.

It was early autumn, one of the rare dry seasons in Mount Emei in a year. With Li Miao's speed, he reached the gate of Emei Sect in less than half an hour.

Normally, a large sect like Emei would have secret guards and patrol disciples near the mountain gate on weekdays, or at least disciples on duty near the mountain gate to do some welcoming and seeing off. But Li Miao didn't see anyone along the way.

With Li Miao's hearing ability, no sound within a hundred feet can escape his ears. At this time, he was already near the mountain gate, but Li Miao could not hear a single sound.

The Emei Sect is a large sect, but it follows the path of "not meeting a sage to pass on the secrets" with elite troops. There are only about 100 to 200 people in the outer and inner sects combined, so the territory is not very large. Li Miao's hearing is enough to cover one-third of the area, but he could not even hear the sound of walking or talking.

The entire Emei Sect was in deathly silence.

It's as if the building is deserted.

Li Miao frowned and stood there waiting for a while, then Shen Xunning and others came over.

Li Miao raised his hand to stop a few people and said.

"You guys wait here."

He looked at Hong Chou again.

"You come with me."

Hong Chou didn't ask why, just nodded and followed Li Miao towards the mountain gate.

When he reached the gate, Li Miao raised his hand and punched the gate.

boom!
The door panel fell backwards with a loud bang. Just when it tilted halfway, Li Miao raised his eyebrows and punched out again with his fist that had not yet been retracted!

Bang!
wow——

The huge door panel was smashed into pieces by a single punch, and wood chips fell to the ground like raindrops.

Li Miao stepped over the threshold and squatted down beside it.

At his feet lay a man.

Hong Chou's expression suddenly changed, his true energy surged instantly, and he had already taken a defensive posture, his eyes looking around the gate of Emei Sect.

Li Miao said lightly.

"No need to look. There is no breathing sound and no Qi flowing within a hundred feet."

Hong Chou gritted his teeth and looked down at the body at Li Miao's feet.

"Who can wipe out the entire Emei clan without making any noise?!"

He had cultivated the "Sumeru", so he could naturally see that there was not a trace of true Qi flowing in this person's body, and there was no rise or fall in his chest at all, he looked like a corpse!
Li Miao shook his head.

"No, he's not dead yet."

Li Miao put his hand on the man's heart.

"Judging from his clothes, this person should be an inner sect disciple. Emei Sect recruits disciples based on quality rather than quantity, and there are only a dozen inner sect disciples, so they should be at least third-rate. But this person doesn't have a single trace of true energy in his body, so you think he is dead."

Hong Chou said with a frown.

"But he wasn't breathing, and his chest wasn't moving..."

Li Miao sneered.

"It's just too faint for you to see."

"But it's so weak that even I almost didn't notice it. It's quite interesting."

"If it had been one day later, he would have really died."

Before he finished speaking, Li Miao suddenly pressed his palm downwards!
“Puha!——”

The man actually sat up in response, and as soon as he made a sound, a stream of blood suddenly gushed up and poured back into his trachea. So he fell down again, scratching his neck with both hands.

Swish!
Li Miao pointed and made a stroke.

scoff-

This tore a hole in the man's throat, and the blood that had poured into his trachea gushed out from there, turning his front lapel scarlet in an instant.

"Old man, wait until his blood clots have drained away, then you can heal him."

Li Miao stood up and walked towards the gate of Emei Sect.

"I'll go see if there are any other survivors."
