Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Qingfeng City

"Master Qingfeng, we meant no offense," the Holy Maiden said respectfully.

"Didn't they say Li Qingfeng was dead? What kind of garbage intelligence did they gather? We're doomed now." The Holy Maiden cursed the White Lotus Sect's branch in her mind.

.......

"We've framed the saintess like this, haven't we...?"

"So calling her the Holy Maiden means she'll be the next leader? The outcome is still uncertain. Our master... should be the ultimate winner."

......

"Red Lotus Cult, White Lotus Sect, do you think my Li family is dead?" Li Qingfeng said cryptically.

"Master Qingfeng, this is a seed of the Red Lotus. Please accept it." Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden's pupils contracted, and she quickly stepped forward to respectfully hand over a small box.

"You're quite clever. You can go now." Li Qingfeng took the box and chuckled.

“You should be glad I’m out, otherwise…” Li Qingfeng tossed the box up and said jokingly.

"When the Heaven and Earth Sword Gate opens, use your quota to exchange for Red Lotus Seeds," Li Qingfeng said calmly.

"Thank you, Daoist Qingfeng." The Holy Maiden breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and bowed with her hands clasped in thanks.

"You may leave now." Li Qingfeng flicked his whisk and drifted away.

......

on carriage

"Damn it, something's fishy about the branch hall." The saintess bit her lip, the alluring blood making her red lips even more tempting.

“Holy Maiden, we are merely at the Guanshan Realm, do we really need to be so humble?” the woman in red said from the carriage after the fact.

"Yes, where are we?" The saintess looked at the woman in red with a look that said, "Are you stupid?"

“Jiannan Road,” the woman in red replied.

"You know this is the frontier of Jiannan, but you only acknowledge it when the Grand Commander arrives, right?" The Holy Maiden was speechless.

"It was my arrogance that led me to apologize," the woman in red quickly said.

"Black Lotus...you're courting death..." The Holy Maiden stared at the distant night sky, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

......

Chu family

"Is it all over?" Li Qingfeng was surprised as he looked at the horrifying scene of severed limbs and blood surging into the sky.

He had thought that Old Dog Chu could at least linger on for a while longer.

"They were sucked to death right away?" Li Qingfeng shook his head as he looked at the box in his hand.

"To dare associate with a two-faced sect like the White Lotus Sect, I wonder if they're either incredibly audacious or utterly brain-dead." Li Qingfeng flicked his whisk and turned to leave.

Behind them, the Chu family tells a bloody story.

......

hall

"Everyone go and rest. Shenxing, wait a moment." Li Yinian looked at Li Junsu.

After everyone left, the elders and the others didn't even have time to change their clothes. They all stared at Li Junsu as if he were some precious treasure.

"Patriarch, Elder, is there anything else?" Li Junsu felt a chill run down his spine from their stares and bowed as he spoke.

"Shenxing, do you want to join the Six Doors?" Li Yinian asked Li Junsu.

"The Six Doors?" Li Junsu was taken aback.

"Be careful! This Six Doors is a den of demons; you must not go there!" The First Elder spoke first upon hearing this.

"The Six Doors are indeed a dangerous weapon used by the imperial court to control the martial arts world, but the resources inside are also abundant." A refined voice came from outside the door.

"Big brother..." The elder and the others all shrank back.

“Eagle Owl, do you know how vast this martial world is?” Li Qingfeng slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at Li Junsu below.

He didn't know what his good-for-nothing son was thinking, and Mo Nian, maybe this little raptor had no interest in the Li family at all.

"I don't know." Li Junsu shook his head.

He truly knew nothing about these things, and now it was time to make a choice.

"The martial world is vast, with small sects and factions everywhere, but there are only so many major sects," Li Qingfeng said, then waved his whisk.

There is nowhere to return from the Nine Realms of Absolute Life; the Eight Gangs, the Seven Towers, and the Six Demon Lords.

Five swords, four Buddhas, three Taoist sects, the founding emperor quelled the chaos of the world.

“The seventh floor of the eighth gang is quite chaotic; everyone claims to be one of them,” Li Yinian complained.

"These six demonic sects are the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Nightmare Demon Hall, the White Lotus Sect, the Holy Fire Sect, the Joyful Temple, and the Blood Drinking Sect, which has already been destroyed." The Third Elder stroked his beard.

"The Five Swords are the Falling Flower Sword Sect, Sword King City, Hidden Sword Pavilion, Green Mountain Sword Sect, and Sword Resting Mountain," the Second Elder said wistfully.

"The Four Buddhas are Shaolin Temple, Vajra Temple, Bodhi Academy, and the Western Regions Esoteric Buddhism," the Grand Elder said.

"The three sects are the most mysterious Supreme Sect, Longhu Mountain, and Zhengyi Sect."

"The founding emperor is our Great Qian Dynasty, and the Six Doors are the dynasty's sword," Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

"However, there are also two realms called Heavenly Palace and Underworld, which are quite mysterious." Li Yinian also felt a bit longing for them.

"The Heavenly Palace and the Underworld?" Li Junsu asked curiously.

“The Heavenly Palace and the Underworld are extremely mysterious. One is a small world left behind by the Jade Emperor, and the other is the origin of the Nine Realms of Absolute Life. They are not credible,” Li Qingfeng explained.

“The imperial dynasty is the most powerful force,” Li Qingfeng then said with a smile.

"They are far inferior to the Five Swords, Four Buddhas, and Three Daoist Sects." Li Junsu shook his head.

"Haha, you're really quick-witted. The Six Doors are indeed far inferior to these martial arts sects, and they're also much more dangerous." Li Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction, and then explained.

The Six Doors were only a small part of the imperial power, while the martial arts world consisted of numerous powerful forces fighting their own battles.

Those with even greater audacity dared to jump out and make exorbitant demands when the court was seeking stability.

While smaller factions dare not rebel, they are willing to engage in verbal battles and undermine the imperial court's prestige.

After all, you're not going to kill my whole family just because I said a few words to you, are you?

(Li Junsu: Of course.)

"But the advantage of the Six Doors is that they don't have the rules and regulations of those other sects. The Six Doors don't ask about your background. The Six Doors only has one condition: you can't betray them," Li Qingfeng added.

"I want to join the Six Doors," Li Junsu said calmly.

“The Six Doors are extremely dangerous.” Li Qingfeng looked at Li Junsu seriously.

“It’s dangerous, but it can’t stop me,” Li Junsu said calmly.

From the moment Li Junsu heard about the Six Doors, he planned to join. The reason was simple: the Six Doors was backed by the imperial dynasty. Although there was a risk of going against the martial arts world, the resources of the imperial dynasty were incomparable to those of any martial arts sect.

Moreover, sects have strict hierarchies and numerous rules, while the Six Doors have the resources backed by the imperial court and do not have as many rules. Therefore, Li Junsu favors the Six Doors more.

"Alright, two years from now, I'll recommend you to join the Six Doors, but I don't have much influence over you, so you'll have to start as a junior constable." Li Qingfeng smiled and waved his hand.

"Thank you, Grandpa," Li Junsu said respectfully, bowing with his hands clasped.

“You can also join the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Your older brother and sister are all going to join the Hidden Sword Pavilion,” Li Yinian suddenly said.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Patriarch, but I intend to join the Six Doors," Li Junsu politely declined.

"You've accomplished something so significant, do you have any requests to share?" Li Qingfeng interrupted the quiet atmosphere and spoke calmly.

"I want to change my name." Seeing that the time was right, Li Junsu straightened up.

"Oh, what name do you want to change to?" Li Qingfeng asked, intrigued.

“Jun Su, the Jun Su of a gentleman’s solemnity,” Li Jun Su said.

"Good name, approved." Li Qingfeng waved his hand with a smile.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back and rest. Find some time to visit the ancestral hall again." Li Qingfeng looked at the bloodstains on Li Junsu's body.

Li Yinian and the others couldn't see it, but Li Qingfeng noticed the mottled bloodstains on Li Junsu's black clothes in an instant.

"Yes, sir." Li Junsu bowed and withdrew.

After Li Junsu left.

"Alright, don't stay here if you have nothing to do. Go wash up or do your cultivation." Li Qingfeng looked at everyone and flicked his whisk.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to retreat.

"What a fine example of... a gentleman's austere demeanor."

......

"No wonder they told me not to think about it. The Hidden Sword Pavilion really does have something." Li Junsu lay in the bathtub, looking at the ceiling with admiration.

“The Hidden Sword Pavilion, one of the Five Swords…” Li Junsu murmured.

“However, I might not be inferior to these five swordsmen in the Six Doors.” Li Junsu smiled.

The Five Swords have both a high lower limit and a high upper limit, but the One Dynasty has the highest upper limit, and of course, the lowest lower limit.

"Just wait and see. If my elder brother and sister suffer any injustice, I'll uproot this lousy Hidden Sword Pavilion." Li Junsu thought to himself with high spirits.
