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

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

"Hmm? The Six Doors again?" The emperor looked at the envelope on the table, surprised for a moment.

There's no other reason than that the Six Doors are usually very well-behaved and basically just do their own thing.

Yes, obedient. In the emperor's eyes, his ministers were not only key advisors but also very easy to manage, except for a certain country bumpkin.

The emperor sat down with an imposing air, opened the letter, stroked his short beard, and read its contents.

"Hahaha, this lad has quite the insight." The emperor laughed loudly as he looked at the memorial that Tie Bansheng had specially polished.

The emperor, who had just been rebuked by a certain advisor, became more and more satisfied as he read Li Junsu's words.

In particular, Li Junsu's comment, "Your Majesty has excellent methods," made him feel that his gloom from the morning had dissipated considerably.

"Quick-witted, broad-minded, accurate." The emperor picked up his brush and wrote "accurate" in a vigorous and powerful style.

"Guards!" the emperor then shouted.

"Your Majesty," a servant bowed and called from outside.

"Let the 'Chasing Wind' patrol officers thoroughly investigate the life of this Li Junsu," the emperor said.

He was becoming curious about Li Junsu's life. This young man's wisdom and courage were no less than those of some aristocratic disciples, no... it could be said that they were much stronger.

His martial prowess also surprised him. He himself was of average strength, only able to surpass the level of Guanshan Wanghai. Therefore, he knew how genius it was for someone to kill Guanshan with swordsmanship.

Because he had tried it, he deeply sympathized with it.

He was sixteen years old that year, and he saved the emperor at Yanmen Pass.

This rising star's background is actually...

"Wait, where did he come from?" The emperor looked out the window, waiting for news from the Wind Chaser.

......

Six doors, a large hall.

"So, there's a high probability that this will succeed." Yan Gui's conversation with Li Junsu was just coming to an end.

"How is it?" Yan Gui asked, looking at Li Junsu.

“I’ll take it,” Li Junsu nodded and said.

“Lingnan is also a wild and untamed place, and you won’t be able to come back for several years. Think it through,” Yan Gui said in conclusion.

"I understand," Li Junsu nodded and said.

He wasn't afraid of difficulties, but he was afraid of not having opportunities. He knew that force was more important than power, but that didn't mean power was useless.

With the imperial court behind him, he is the biggest tiger skin in the world.

“Very well, let’s get down to business now.” Yan Gui snapped his fingers and said.

“Lingnan, the Ten Thousand Mountains, and clan culture are very deeply intertwined. Moreover... it’s true that the dynasty has incorporated that area into its territory, but the Southern Yue behind the Ten Thousand Mountains is also eager to make a move.” Yan Guizheng said, straightening his expression.

"Also, there are Gu tribes and poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Mountains, but those are minor matters. The most important thing is... demonic beasts," Yan Gui said.

“I know,” Li Junsu nodded and said.

Lingnan, a place of exile for prisoners in ancient times, was plagued by miasma, unpredictable weather, and high humidity, where people could die at any moment.

In today's world of high-level martial arts, it's perfectly normal for venomous snakes to evolve into snake demons.

"There are also clans in coastal areas with strange divine connections, which are also mysterious and unpredictable," Yan Gui said in turn.

"Divine affinity?" Li Junsu asked in surprise.

"It's actually a technique that uses the power of heaven and earth to summon powerful beings who have died. However, unlike the Western Regions Tantric sect which uses bone artifacts and the Holy Fire Sect which directly uses human sacrifices, the coastal areas use something called incense," Yan Gui explained.

“This power is very troublesome, because Yan Sansi, one of the four guardians of our Six Doors, has a Nuo mask. The mask can communicate with a fierce god called Menggong, which is very mysterious.” Yan Gui said, touching the back of his neck.

He didn't get along well with his superior in Luoshahai.

“Very good, it seems you’ve figured it out. The Six Doors have information about Lingnan. Review it carefully before you take office; these things are much more dangerous than the martial world.” Yan Gui said, looking at Li Junsu who seemed to be deep in thought.

The world is full of wonders. Just as the Holy Fire Sect and the Western Regions Tantric sect use bones and human skin to create magical artifacts, the traditions of Lingnan have always been very mysterious.

The shamanic practices in Northeast China, the rituals and Gu worms in Lingnan, and the Five Poisons in Yunnan and Guizhou are all ancient traditions. However, these forces all have one thing in common: they like to stay in their own places and do their own thing.

If you don't provoke them, nothing serious will happen. It's much less troublesome than dealing with gangsters.

"Just keep these things in mind; the most important thing is what comes next," Yan Gui said, snapping his fingers as he looked at the thoughtful Li Junsu.

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu looked up at Yan Gui, indicating that he was listening.

"The Juyi Tower, one of the Seven Towers of Jianghu, is in Lingnan. Take it down," Yan Guiyan said succinctly.

"I understand." Li Junsu nodded; this was indeed of utmost importance.

Juyilou was originally one of the thirty-six rebel kings during the chaos of the world. Unfortunately, before they could expand from Lingnan, the emperor unified the country with sweeping force.

In the end, the owner of Juyi Tower had no choice but to abandon the uprising and instead established Juyi Tower, with the intention of gathering heroes from all over the world.

Now that the dynasty, which had been pretending to be unaware of the matter, has freed up its resources, it is ready to make its move.

“Lingnan, Juyilou, Huaihai Gang, Gu Clan, Shenyuan, Clan.” Li Junsu thought about these forces and their intricate network of relationships, and smiled. Great risks, great rewards.

"Alright, the most important thing for the chief constable is strength," Yan Gui said seriously.

"You and your team are both too weak right now," Yan Gui said bluntly.

"Chief Constable Yan, shouldn't there be a allowance for business trips?" Upon hearing this, Li Junsu could only pretend to be ignorant.

He has some surplus, but he is not very wealthy.

“You kid, I do. I’ll apply for the pills for your subordinates later. As for you… I have other plans.” Yan Gui said frankly.

He wanted Li Junsu to grow up quickly, not to send him to his death.

"Thank you, Chief Constable Yan," Li Junsu said earnestly, cupping his hands in thanks.

"Don't thank me, thank the Six Doors," Yan Gui said, waving his hand.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing business, it's time to talk about some personal matters," Yan Gui said, waving his hand.

Li Junsu leaned over to listen, but Yan Gui didn't say anything; instead, he stuffed a book into Li Junsu's arms.

"Remember to burn it after you're done reading it," Yan Gui said, sitting back in his chair and leaning against the back.

"Chief Constable Yan, this I..." Li Junsu's eyes narrowed as he looked at the book.

"Alright, if you really want to repay me, take down Juyi Tower. See you in Chang'an three years from now when you report for duty," Yan Gui said with a smile.

Still in shock, Li Junsu failed to grasp the key points of the performance review three years later.

Because the book clearly displayed the words "Ten Thousand Demons' Palm".

"I spent the whole night copying this," Yan Gui said with a smile, looking at Li Junsu.

Unlike sects that impose restrictions when training their disciples, members of the Six Doors can copy down Earth-level or higher cultivation techniques to train their subordinates or exchange them for merit points with the Six Doors.

Because everything depends on the individual's own will, these practices are often quite closed off.

It can be said that if your colleagues, superiors, or subordinates share a cultivation method with you that can be used to pass on one's lineage, then you must be a very successful person.

Because this is not just a technique, but also an unparalleled trust.
