The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 84 Going up the mountain
Li Miao glanced at Mei Qinghe, then looked at Liu Baiyun.

Liu Baiyun was an old hand and understood what she meant immediately. While Mei Qinghe was distracted, he pointed a finger at her neck.

Mei Qinghe fell to the ground softly.

Li Miao twisted his fingers and said, "The situation is unclear at the moment. I don't know what this Yun Zelin is planning."

"If you want revenge, wait until I kill him and let Xiaomei chop the corpse a few more times. There's no need to fight to the death."

Liu Baiyun bowed deeply to Li Miao: "Thank you, sir."

Li Miao waved his hand: "No need."

He turned to the three leaders and said, "Three of you, you did a great job today."

"First, collect the bodies of our disciples, and then, together with Sect Leader Liu, search the city to see if there are any remaining poisons or Ming Cult members."

"Among the officials guarding the city gate, there is a man named Jiao Qingfeng who can handle things. After you have cleaned up the mess in the city, have him take the able-bodied civilians in the city to put out the fire and see if there are any trapped civilians."

"I will go to Taishan Sect first. After you finish your work, go to Taishan Sect and guard the road down the mountain. Don't let the poison on the mountain leak into the surrounding villages and towns, otherwise this matter will not be resolved."

"I'm going to go see what this Ming Cult Right Envoy is planning."

"I spared his life back then, and today I should put an end to it."

Before he finished speaking, Li Miao disappeared.

The rest of the people went around to clean up their mess and let’s not talk about them anymore, let’s talk about Li Miao now.

There is still some distance between Tai'an City and Mount Tai.

Li Miao was running all night without stopping at all.

First he rescued Wang Hai, and then took Wang Hai all the way back to Tai'an City. After arriving in Tai'an City, just when he wanted to take a rest for a while, he discovered that the people were poisoned.

He then rushed to the provincial government office and ordered the officials and soldiers to guard the city gates. He then searched everywhere in the city for the common people and used his internal Qi to eliminate the poisonous insects.

After Wang Hai brought Xiao Si back, Li Miao rushed out of the city without stopping, found Mao Yingxia, and killed five hundred Gu soldiers.

After the killing, he rushed back to Tai'an City, rescued Jiao Qingfeng, and then went into the city to help Wang Hai and others.

None of these things were easy. Only Li Miao could handle all of them in one night.

But regardless of other things, the consumption of true energy is real.

Li Miao did not stop for a moment and rushed towards Taishan Sect.

According to the leaders of the three sects, there are still a lot of Taishan disciples who have been poisoned.

The Taishan Sect is not Tai'an City and does not have city walls. If these people are allowed to run down the mountain and rush into the surrounding villages and towns, the disaster that happened in Tai'an City will inevitably be repeated.

Even if he didn't care about the poison, Li Miao couldn't just leave Yun Zelin alone and allow him to cause trouble in Taishan Sect.

Li Miao was not clear about what was going on inside the Ming Cult, but he had a clear feeling that the Ming Cult's plan was stabbed in advance by someone other than him, resulting in loopholes, which was why he was able to break them one by one.

If the Ming Cult's plan was followed, Mao Yingxia would have brought 500 Gu soldiers into the city, and with the Hongshui Banner Master's people causing chaos everywhere, there would definitely be more people dying tonight than just these few.

The person who stabbed the Ming Cult was most likely Yun Zelin, who appeared in the Taishan Sect.

Zhou Mingxu, the leader of Houtu Banner, was actually sent by Yun Zelin to be killed by Li Miao.

Moreover, although the people of Mingjiao knew Li Miao, they did not know much about Li Miao's martial arts level. This is why Lan Lechuan appeared alone in Taishan Sect and was killed by Li Miao.

Only this Yun Zelin seemed to be certain from the beginning that Lan Lechuan would die at the hands of Li Miao. You know, even Zhu Zai didn't know Li Miao's current realm, so how could Yun Zelin be so sure?

Li Miao used all his strength to use Qinggong, and his speed was much faster than that of a horse.

In less than half an hour, he appeared at the foot of Mount Tai.

Before going up the mountain, Li Miao could smell a faint fishy odor.

Walking up the mountain along the stone path shaded by the forest, you can see bodies lying on both sides of the road.

Most of them were disciples of the Taishan Sect, some were soldiers from Tai'an City, and a small number of eunuchs and Jinyiwei corpses.

Li Miao walked up to the body of a Taishan sect disciple, reached out to pick a branch from a nearby tree, infused it with true Qi, and then drew a line across the chest of the corpse.

The originally fragile branch was now like a sharp sword, easily cutting through the flesh and revealing the sternum inside.

Li Miao poked with the branch again, breaking the sternum and revealing the corpse's heart.

The shape is different from that of an ordinary person. It is completely black and covered with flesh and blood.

Li Miao raised his eyebrows.

He found a few more bodies and did the same thing.

Looking at the identical internal organs, Li Miao twisted his fingers. How come the poisonous insects in the bodies of these Taishan disciples... seemed to be dead?

If the host dies, the insect will remain the same but lose its vitality.

If someone forcibly picks it out, it will become dry and white.

Only when the mother insect dies, all the insects will die together and turn into the black gelatinous mass we see now.

Throwing down the branch, Li Miao quickly walked towards the main hall of Taishan Sect.

Outside the main hall of Taishan Sect was a square, which was now covered with blood and corpses, and there was no living person left.

From a distance, Li Miao saw Yun Zelin sitting leisurely in the main seat inside the open door of the main hall of Taishan Sect.

Li Miao smiled, raised his hand and pointed out with the "Xuantian Finger" from a distance.

It must be said that this unique skill of the Ming Cult is really useful: it is powerful and you don't have to worry about getting your hands dirty. Although Li Miao looked down on the Ming Cult's behavior, he couldn't let go of this martial art.

The sharp true energy whizzed past and stabbed towards Yun Zelin's face.

At this time, Yun Zelin was sitting in the main seat, with his hands on the armrests, his head lowered and his eyes closed.

There was no reaction at all.

In an instant, the "Xuantian Finger" hit his forehead.

Blood splatters everywhere!
Half of the skin on Yun Zelin's forehead was lifted up, revealing the white skull underneath!
Li Miao raised his eyebrows and stepped into the door.

He didn't hold back at all when he attacked just now.

Yun Zelin took the bite so hard that only the skin and flesh were peeled off, and there was not even a trace left on the bones.

"King Kong".

There is no doubt that Yun Zelin has already achieved the state of "Vajra".

Suddenly, Yun Zelin moved, slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

Only then did Li Miao see his face.

With wrinkles all over his face and dim eyesight, he looks like a man in his seventies or eighties!

Yun Zelin opened his eyes, but his vision was blocked by the flesh hanging down from his forehead.

He raised his hand, touched it, smiled, and actually reached out and tore off the piece of meat and threw it on the ground.

"Li... ahem, Lord Li, you are here."

He opened his mouth and his voice was old and sticky, like a dying man.

Li Miao looked Yun Zelin up and down and said, "The Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Being."

"Are you mentally ill? You're making such a big fuss just to get yourself killed?"

"With your martial arts skills, how could you not know I was here? How could you not dodge my attack?"

"You're in so much pain that you don't have the energy to pay attention to the outside world, right?"

Yun Zelin raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a terrifying smile that looked old: "Yes, this 'Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Being' is much more difficult to endure than I expected."

"It's all worth it to be able to meet Lord Li."

"I would also like to thank Lord Li for the hospitality. I was unaware of the distinguished guest's visit and I was impolite. I hope you will forgive me."

After saying that, he bowed towards Li Miao with a look of sincere apology.

"However, if a mediocre person like me doesn't spend some time and effort, how can I discuss the Dao with Lord Li?"

"It took me fifteen years, the death of Lan Zuoshi and Zuo Zongzhang, and my own impending death, to get this momentary opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Li."

Li Miao said: "You said this as if you are very familiar with me."

"If I remember correctly, I only met you once fifteen years ago, right?"

"You risked half of the Ming Cult and your own life just to tell me these nonsense?"

Yun Zelin smiled and raised his hand to point to the seat next to him: "Master Li, please sit down for a moment."

"Although the five hundred Gu soldiers of Protector Mao could not harm Lord Li, I think they consumed a lot of Lord Li's true energy."

"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Li still hasn't taken that step yet. His energy is limited."

"Why don't you sit still for a moment and listen to me. After that, I will leave my life to you, sir, how about that?"
