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

Anle Prince's Mansion

"Sorry, sweet dreams." Li Junsu looked at the unconscious Prince Anle and murmured to himself before shattering his heart meridian with a single palm strike.

Judging from the reaction of the King of Anle, he was completely powerless and innocent; this is the unpredictability of life.

He was not guilty, but his identity itself was a crime.

As long as he lives, he is a banner, a banner of ambition; those who come under his banner will have opportunities.

This is why the righteous faction always emphasizes that they are righteous, because disciples of good character will naturally be drawn to the banner of justice.

King Anle enjoyed the legacy left by his father, but he also had to bear the consequences.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Yan Gui walked to Li Junsu's side, patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

"It's nothing, His Majesty just has some clever methods," Li Junsu said.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Yan Gui asked curiously.

"To bestow the title of Prince of Anle is to demonstrate benevolence during a time of instability in the realm," Li Junsu said.

"Isn't this leaving room for future trouble?" Yan Gui asked, puzzled.

"Chief Constable Yan, who told you to let Black Lotus go?" Li Junsu asked Yan Gui in surprise.

“Up there,” Yan Gui said, pointing to the sky.

Li Junsu rubbed his forehead. He thought Yan Gui was a man of both wisdom and courage, but he didn't expect him to be such a reckless fool.

That makes sense, though. If I had his abilities, I wouldn't bother thinking.

"Go on, stop keeping me in suspense," Yan Gui asked casually, sitting on the railing.

“The world is unstable. Using Prince Anle will give the remnants of the previous dynasty the illusion that the banner is still in effect, so that they will settle down and then plot a great rebellion.” Li Junsu said, then smiled.

“By the time they finish their grand scheme, the dynasty will have already stabilized. What else is there to scheme for?” Li Junsu shook his head as he looked at the sleeping Prince Anle.

"That's why I say Your Majesty has excellent methods," Li Junsu praised.

After all, he was a genius who managed to contain the intensity of a grand scheme to conquer the world within the north gate of the palace.

Compared to the grand and magnificent reigns of other emperors, this emperor's methods seemed less than honorable, but Li Junsu admired them.

It is fast, ruthless, and accurate, and has minimal impact on the world.

Before the people could even react, the positions had already changed. This is crucial for stability; otherwise, there could have been another major upheaval.

"So that's how it is. No wonder the master told me to let Black Lotus go." Yan Gui stroked his chin, suddenly realizing.

"Chief Constable Yan, what is the current situation of the White Lotus Sect?" Li Junsu asked curiously.

"Two of the three leaders of the White Lotus Sect are dead, and the Eternal Mother has escaped. The Lord is still keeping an eye on her, so he has the Holy Maiden and the Red Lotus join forces to resist the Black Lotus, which is beneficial to the Six Doors," Yan Gui said casually.

He didn't realize this because, in his view, what was the point of these two weaklings pecking at each other?

With one strike of his sword, all three would die.

"So, does Your Excellency want Black Lotus to succeed and continue the infighting?" Yan Gui asked, looking at Li Junsu as his mind began to work.

“Yes, and no, if the Black Lotus succeeds, then the Holy Maiden and the Red Lotus will have nowhere to live. There must be something wrong with the elixir.” Li Junsu nodded, then shook his head.

"You're quite the expert, aren't you? You'd definitely be a master at doing bad things." Yan Gui laughed as he looked at the methodical Li Junsu.

"If we don't have the strength, we can only use our brains," Li Junsu said helplessly.

"That's not necessarily true. Adults also use their brains. You have potential, kid," Yan Gui said.

"But the White Lotus Sect is really shabby." Li Junsu said, resting his hand on the railing and watching the constables below orderly cleaning up the scene.

"Now, those old fogies from the White Lotus Sect don't dare to show their faces." Yan Gui stretched and yawned.

"Is our chief constable very strong?" Li Junsu asked curiously.

"Do you know about the Nine Realms of Absolute Life?" Yan Gui asked Li Junsu with a smile.

“I know. There are nine perilous places where there is no chance of survival after entering. They are... Peach Blossom Spring, Rakshasa Sea, City of the Wrongfully Dead, Village of No Return, and Tower of Death. These are the ones that still exist. The remaining four are unknown,” Li Junsu said.

"These places are forbidden zones for living beings affected by the resentment of those who perished tragically during the chaos of war. Three of our four guardians are stationed there. The remaining one... is keeping an eye on the White Lotus Sect." Yan Gui said, looking at the moon.

"I see." Li Junsu nodded upon hearing this.

No wonder it is said that the imperial court is weak, with the Golden Horde on the outside, the aftermath of the chaos on the inside, and the Jianghu forces are also very arrogant. It is somewhat unbelievable that the Great Qian can still develop in an orderly manner under such circumstances.

"This White Lotus Sect is really useful. They helped us get rid of Prince Anle, but after we go back, they'll fight amongst themselves." Once Yan Gui started thinking, many situations became clear at a glance.

"It is indeed convenient," Li Junsu nodded in agreement.

"The White Lotus Sect deserves its infamous reputation. It's one thing for the Anle Prince's Mansion to be sold, but it's another for its own sect leader to be sold as well," Yan Gui said with a grin.

"It's no wonder that whenever something bad happens in the martial arts world, they all blame the White Lotus Sect." Yan Gui flipped off the railing and landed on the ground, speaking leisurely.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a late-night snack," Yan Gui said, waving his hand.

......

Back room

"Does the formation have an effect?" Black Lotus frowned as she looked at the fine red patterns on the pill.

"No, we need to find a pill master first," Black Lotus said, stuffing the pills into the porcelain bottle.

......

Inn.

"Did she get the elixir?" the Holy Maiden asked, looking at Red Lotus.

"Yes, Holy Maiden, what should we do?" Honglian asked nervously.

"It's alright, I added something to the pill, it won't kill her." The saintess smiled, a smirk playing on her lips.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Honglian exclaimed in delight.

"Look at you, you pathetic sight. Give me a shoulder massage." The saintess rolled her eyes and said irritably.

“Yes…” Honglian rubbed her hands together in response.

"Will there be any problems?" Honglian wondered to herself.

She felt like something was off.

But everything is developing normally.

......

Six doors.

"We'll wait for Yan Gui's report, and then send them to His Majesty together," Tie Bansheng said, looking at the distant sky.

......

Jiangnan, Six Doors, Hall.

"By the way, haven't the Jianghu forces in Jiangnan made a move?" Li Junsu asked suddenly, picking up some food with his chopsticks.

Apart from the White Lotus Sect, the rest seem to be quite quiet.

"They're not quiet, but there are ways to quiet them down afterwards," Yan Gui said with a smile, swirling his wine glass.

Within the territory of the Xie Zhi Sect, the martial arts world remained quiet.

They understood that this was a stable dynasty that needed to be dealt a major blow, and a severe one at that.

Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out.

Minor matters: touching you, provoking you; major matters: ...please come inside, sir.

Everyone is waiting for the first one to court death, then they'll play dumb for a while, and the dynasty will shrink back.
