The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 72 The Five Decline of Heaven and Man
And let's go back two hours.

Taishan School.

The leaders of the three sects and their disciples, as well as the Taishan sect disciples who fled down the mountain, were forced back to the Taishan sect by Cheng Yuanzhen's troops.

At this time, Cheng Yuanzhen, the chief of Taishan Sect, was leisurely making a cup of tea and drinking it slowly.

He was full of pride, sneered in his heart, and thought to himself.

"Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei... They are said to be cruel and ruthless, but I think they are kind and soft-hearted."

"So many people were let go for no reason. Each head belonged to a traitor who was colluding with the Ming Cult. How much credit has been given for letting them escape!"

"Fortunately... a few big fish are still there."

Cheng Yuanzhen raised his head and looked at the faces of Zhou Yingxue, Deng Baixuan, and Zhang Jingfeng.

"The Hengshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, the Songshan Sect, and the Taishan Sect are all located in different places, but they have to link up with each other."

"Now that we've finished this matter, we can go to these factions' territories and take over a few thousand more heads."

A sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Fortunately, we came here early, otherwise the credit would have been lost."

He knew what the emperor meant. He was sent here to suppress the Jinyiwei.

But he wanted to do more.

Within the palace walls, the lives of eunuchs are worthless. Cheng Yuanzhen has climbed to his current position not only by his martial arts skills, but also by his ruthless and resolute character.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect was a job he had snatched away, and it involved bloodshed.

You only target the Taishan sect and take over several other sects as your dogs. Your appetite is too small.

Isn't it more appropriate to describe an anti-bandit organization that is located across the country, secretly connected to local government, colluding with the Ming Cult, and intending to rebel...?

Afterwards, the hat of "neglecting the emperor's orders" was first put on Li Miao's head, and then another hat of "failure to investigate and being difficult to control" was woven and given to Zhu Zai.

I will dig out this rebel organization and hand it over to Your Majesty... then everything will be worth it.

Having made up his mind, Cheng Yuanzhen wanted to speak and directly lay the charges on the three leaders.

As soon as I opened my mouth, I heard the sound of vomiting outside.

"Wow--"

He frowned, thinking that this was some useless soldier who had never seen blood, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But soon, several screams were heard from outside, mixed with cries for help, coughs, and sounds of fighting.

Cheng Yuanzhen stood up and looked at the three masters coldly.

He thought that the disciples who were restrained outside were unwilling to surrender and were resisting and fighting with the soldiers.

He thought to himself, "It's just right. I can fight against the imperial envoy and use force to resist the law... This way, I can save the trouble of fabricating charges."

"These Jianghu people really don't obey the law. It's not unfair to kill them."

He was not panicked because he was also extremely skilled and had no problem suppressing three top-notch players.

The two hundred eunuchs outside were all carefully selected by him. Their martial arts skills were all at a high level. Together with the Jinyiwei and soldiers, the disciples of these factions could not escape from his control.

Cheng Yuanzhen walked quickly out of the main hall and wanted to speak up to calm the situation.

But he was so shocked by the scene before him that he swallowed his words back.

Outside the main hall is a square, where Taishan disciples usually practice martial arts. Events like the Five Mountains Alliance Conference are usually held here.

After Cheng Yuanzhen went up the mountain, he sent people to round up all the disciples of the Taishan Sect and detained them there.

Right now, it's chaos.

The Taishan disciples, whose ropes were tied behind their backs, suddenly jumped up and bit the soldiers around them. Some Taishan disciples vomited, until the ground was covered with blood.

Some disciples also bit each other, tearing off a piece of meat and swallowing it, just like evil spirits.

Cheng Yuanzhen flashed forward and pressed the acupoints of a Taishan disciple, but he didn't expect that the effect was like a drop in the ocean, as if the acupoints on the person's body no longer existed.

Cheng Yuanzhen got ruthless and grabbed the man's limbs directly, broke them with a "crack", and then looked at them carefully.

The man's face was black, his eye sockets were full of bloodshot, and had become a red ball. Saliva flowed from his mouth, and black blood vessels were visible on his face.

Its limbs were broken, and it was still wriggling on the ground, trying to pounce on Cheng Yuanzhen.

"What... is this..." Cheng Yuanzhen suddenly turned his head and looked at the three leaders: "What are you doing here!?"

The three masters did not answer. But a soft voice came from the back of the hall: "It has nothing to do with the three masters. It is the work of Manichaeism."

Cheng Yuanzhen looked carefully and saw a man walking slowly out from the back of the hall.

He was holding a headless corpse in his hand.

"I am Yun Zelin, the right-hand man of Manichaeism. Nice to meet you, eunuch, and the several leaders," he said.

Cheng Yuanzhen and the three sect leaders' pupils shrank slightly. They stepped back a few steps and looked at Yun Zelin warily.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, everyone. I don't like fighting and have no intention of making things difficult for you." Yun Zelin said gently.

Cheng Yuanzhen snorted coldly: "You won't embarrass me!?"

After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed towards Yun Zelin's face with one claw.

Killing the Right Emissary of the Ming Cult is better than killing a thousand traitors who are in collusion with the Ming Cult!
But he didn't notice that the three masters behind him secretly took a few steps back.

The claws approached Yun Zelin.

Bang! ! !
With a dull thud, Cheng Yuanzhen flew out of the door, knocking down five or six of his men. He stood up in a panic, with blood flowing from his mouth.

Without any hesitation, he stood up and ran away.

"'King Kong', that's 'King Kong'!"

"The Ming Cult villain has unexpectedly produced another top-notch one!"

Just now, his claw clearly grabbed Yun Zelin's face firmly, but not even a trace was left!

The three masters did not hesitate, and quickly retreated out of the door, taking a few disciples with them and fled down the mountain.

Yun Zelin watched them escape quietly without trying to stop them.

After a while, the screams outside became more and more intense.

Yun Zelin threw the headless corpse in his hand to the ground and sighed lightly.

"Hey...Blue Left Envoy."

That was actually the body that Lan Lechuan left in Taishan Sect!

"You risked your life to protect Sect Leader Zuo and let him escape, thinking that he was the indispensable 'blood food' for the Sect Leader."

"But we didn't know that our leader had put poisonous insects on all of us."

"All of us...are just his food."

"It's a pity that these things will never be enjoyed by the Lord Master to whom you swore allegiance until death."

After saying that, he stretched out his fingers into claws and dug into the abdomen of Lan Lechuan's corpse.

He grabbed a piece of squirming flesh from inside.

Then stuff it into your mouth!
As soon as the blood and flesh entered his stomach, tiny beads of blood began to emerge from the pores on Yun Zelin's face.

His hair gradually turned gray, blood and sweat flowed from his armpits, soaking his clothes, and a fishy smell emanated from his body.

His originally calm expression suddenly changed: anger, sadness, jealousy, hatred, and ecstasy flashed across his face one after another.

"Hehe...hehe..."

However, Yun Zelin laughed out loud with difficulty.

"The clothes... are dirty, the hair... is withered, the armpits are sweaty, the body is smelly..."

"I am not happy..."

“Ha—the Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Beings…”

Yun Zelin let out a long sigh and forced a smile.

"No wonder the leader would rather keep us alive and not harvest us... and he even has to keep Zuo Lishan alive for no reason..."

"Sure enough... it's not complete after all..."

"Fortunately, I don't ask for a long time..."

After saying that, Yun Zelin slowly walked back to the table and sat down, supporting his knees.

He looked out the door, quietly listening to the wailing outside, his whole body shaking uncontrollably, and no longer saying a word.
