Chang Cuiyun's fairy-like body appeared in mid-air, while the giant python's body simultaneously wrapped around her four thighs.
At the same time, the spirits of the Five Witches also appeared, joining Yang Cheng on the left and right, slashing at the other four legs.
However, in this state, Lian Yue's bones were so hard that even the sharpness of the Imperial Guard's sword could not cut through him.
Moreover, the opponent's flesh and blood were now highly corrosive, capable of eroding spiritual power and energy. Almost instantly, the demon immortal's body dissipated.
Although the soldier's spirit managed to cut some wounds on the flesh spider, it was also corroded by the splattered flesh and blood, causing its spirit to dissipate.
For a moment, Yang Cheng and the flesh spider were locked in a fierce battle, neither able to gain the upper hand.
At this moment, Faming appeared beside Zhang Xiren at some point and said in a deep voice, "Grand Secretary, it's time to make a move."
If we delay any longer, whether Yang Cheng wins or the demon from the Great Bright Sect escapes, we will have a hard time dealing with it.
Now is the perfect time to strike while they're locked in a stalemate, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Xiren sighed, "Then let's do it, although this is not the outcome I wanted to see."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ce, who was standing to the side, revealed a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The next moment, six Shaolin monks, including Faming, stepped forward and surrounded Yang Cheng and his companion.
Each person took out a Buddhist rosary, a wooden fish, or other items, from which a faint Buddhist light emanated.
The six people formed hand seals, their true energy erupted, and golden Buddhist light gathered together, transforming into a Vajra phantom that soared into the air. The Buddhist light around it radiated and condensed into an array, trapping the Western envoy Lian Yueru within it.
The flesh and bone spurs of the other party touched the Buddha's light and immediately emitted a scorched smell.
Shaolin Temple's secret technique, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation!
However, this Vajra Subduing Demon Formation not only trapped the Western divine envoy, but also Yang Cheng.
Ye Meiniang's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted angrily, "Hey! What do you bald monks mean by this? Why are you trapping my master inside too?"
However, no one at Shaolin Temple paid any attention to Ye Meiniang.
Zhou Heng also sensed something was wrong and quickly asked Zhang Xiren, "Minister Zhang, what do these Shaolin monks want to do?"
I am of course grateful for their timely rescue, but why did they also imprison Minister Yang?
Zhang Xiren sighed and stood up. The other Shaolin disciples also stood up and suddenly attacked, knocking down all the imperial guards protecting them.
The imperial guards around Zhou Heng were already quite weak, so how could they possibly defeat the elite Shaolin monks?
They didn't even last a few moves before they were all subdued.
All the officials present were stunned, staring at Zhang Xiren in disbelief.
Cai Yan shouted in astonishment, "Zhang Xiren! What are you doing? Are you rebelling?"
A series of questions were asked, and even he himself couldn't believe that Zhang Xiren would rebel.
Zhang Xiren, a veteran of three dynasties, known for his impartiality and integrity, and with a great reputation in both the imperial court and the common people, would rebel? This is simply a fantasy.
But this seemingly impossible thing actually happened right before everyone's eyes; it was simply unbelievable.
"Zhang...Minister Zhang, what are you doing?"
Zhou Heng also looked incredulous.
Zhang Xiren said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, this old minister never expected things to come to this. Blame Yang Cheng."
If it weren't for Yang Cheng, and you were killed by the Thirty-Six Bandits, the people of Shaolin Temple would have immediately stepped in to protect the others.
Sacrificing you alone can bring about a revolution and a new dynasty for our Great Zhou, restoring order to the court!
"Alas, fate has decreed that I shall bear the name of regicide."
Cai Yanmeng looked at Zhang Xiren: "Last time you were willing to give up the position of Vice Minister of Revenue to one of my men, but you insisted that I mobilize troops from five continents to suppress the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, just to force them to assassinate His Majesty?"
Zhang Xiren glanced at Grand Tutor Cai but ignored him, shaking his head and saying, "Your Majesty, may you have a safe journey. When the Great Zhou returns to its former glory and becomes awe-inspiring, this old minister will go down to accompany you."
As he spoke, Zhang Xiren pulled a crossbow from his pocket and aimed it at Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng was practically terrified, and said in a tearful voice, "Grand Secretary Zhang, I can give you anything you want. In all these years, apart from angering you a few times... dozens of times, I don't seem to have done anything too wrong to you. Do you really want to put me to death?"
Zhang Xiren opened his mouth, but didn't say a word. He decisively pulled the trigger!
