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

Inside a room at the inn.

"Great Rejuvenation Pill, Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, Ten Thousand Demon Palm," Li Junsu murmured, looking at the three items on the table.

"Let's go back to Bianyun City and further improve our internal strength." Li Junsu, whose eyes had been burning with desire, looked at the Great Rejuvenation Pill and then slowly calmed down.

“Lingnan, huh?” Li Junsu picked up the Ten Thousand Demons Palm manual and started flipping through it.

......

next day

Six doors, hall

"It's been approved from above, and I'll be taking office after the New Year," Yan Gui said, looking at Li Junsu walking into the hall.

"Time is running out, I'm going back now," Li Junsu said upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, these are the pills and uniforms prepared for you from above," Yan Gui said, waving his hand.

"What kind of elixir is this?" Li Junsu asked, picking up the porcelain bottle.

"This is a Spirit Energy Pill," Yan Gui said, looking at the pill.

"Spiritual Qi Pill?" Li Junsu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's the Taoist sect using a spirit-gathering array to condense spiritual energy into pills," Yan Gui said.

"Eat air?" Li Junsu asked in surprise.

"More or less. There are four inside, which is enough spiritual energy for a whole village. That should be enough," Yan Gui said.

Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Li Junsu's eyes. It was fast, convenient, and easy to use—a habit of the military.

"It seems there are people with military backgrounds within the Six Doors," Li Junsu pondered.

"This stuff isn't for eating; it's meant to be crushed and absorbed," Yan Gui reminded him.

"I understand." Li Junsu nodded and put the porcelain bottle into his storage ring.

“This is the chief constable’s uniform,” Yan Guihou said.

Li Junsu unfolded his black uniform, which was not much different in style, but unlike the golden Di Ting pattern on his uniform, the one in front of him had a dark red Xie Zhi pattern, which made him look very majestic.

The token next to it also changed from gold to red, making it appear even more solemn and imposing.

"Here, this is your standard." Yan Gui tossed out a porcelain bottle as a final gesture.

"Inside are three compressed spirit pills," Yan Gui said.

"Further compression? That's a good idea," Li Junsu muttered.

"What?" Yan Gui asked, looking at Li Junsu.

"Nothing, nothing else, I'm going back now," Li Junsu said, coming back to his senses.

"Go, and remember, you can crush and absorb this pill in the secret room," Yan Gui said.

"I understand," Li Junsu nodded and said.

......

outside the city gate

Li Junsu mounted his horse, spurred it, and galloped away.

During the few days that Li Junsu was on his journey, the incident at the Prince Anle's Mansion spread far and wide throughout the martial arts world.

With the execution announced to the world from Chang'an, discussions in the martial arts world reached their peak.

Before the list of names, the errand runners, seeing the list replaced by the constables, all stepped forward to copy it down.

"It's changed!" As this voice rang out, everyone looked down. Yun Wuji was still in first place, and Jiang Yi in eighth place remained unchanged. Only Luo Li in ninth place had changed.

Name: Li Junsu

Nickname: Edge Cloud Owl

"I told you Luo Li's ranking was inflated, right? This ranking makes sense now."

"So, you're saying your Fairy Luo Li is working hard? Why don't you come out and say something?"

"Look at others, how long has it been since they made it onto the list? And look at Luo Li, tsk tsk."

murmurs arose, and several men in the crowd lowered their heads, afraid of being singled out and ridiculed.

......

Jian Su Mountain

"Master, even if I can't beat you, I won't give up on this idea." Jian Wu looked at the half-grown child and said straightforwardly.

"Who taught you all this?" the child asked, squinting at Jian Wu.

Jian Wu closed his eyes, a peaceful expression on his face.

"Fine, practice if you want," the child said with a shrug.

Jian Wu opened his eyes upon hearing this.

"But don't blame me for not warning you," the child said meaningfully.

Jian Wu's ears twitched.

"You know about the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Azure Dragon among the Four Swords of the Starry Sky, right?" Master asked meaningfully.

“I know, what’s wrong?” Jian Wu asked.

"Back then, I ignored your grandmaster's warning and practiced the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Azure Dragon in reverse, and that's how I ended up like this," the master said, somewhat exasperated.

"I'm warning you, if you practice a certain sword technique in reverse and it can change your gender, then you will..." The master said, placing his hand in front of his chest, making an arc, and grinning mischievously.

"I...I'll think about it some more," Jian Wu said, swallowing hard.

"You decide what to do," the master said, then turned and left.

He did not deceive Jian Wu; he himself had become a tiny child because of the same reason.

His master had practiced the Western Geng White Tiger technique in reverse, but it wasn't a big deal; he just grew cat ears, which could be cut off with a sword.

"Being too talented isn't good either," the master murmured, shaking his head.

Because every generation of Sword Mountain disciples is a genius, they love to experiment. Some have actually added their own interpretations to the sword manual, while others have been more unlucky.

Every generation of swordsmen felt that the sword techniques in the sword manual were outdated and wanted to modify the manual themselves, resulting in either large breasts and a pert butt or something utterly bizarre.

The twenty-eighth generation of the Human Sword practiced the reverse sword manual, causing his meridians and body to completely reverse. While others could move forward with great style while holding a sword, he could retreat with a sword in an extremely shabby manner.

In the end, he could only use his back to retreat and fight back. Moreover, the originally beautiful sword moves looked grotesque when reversed, which led to the generation of Sword Master of that time having to tell the outside world that he was focusing on cultivating his sword and would no longer leave the mountain.

"Li Junsu? That kid's really wicked." The little guy looked at the list of people he had copied, let go of the list, and squinted at the list fluttering in the wind as he spoke.

They from Jian Su Shan might not be the brightest, but they were very strong, and he planned to teach them a lesson.

“Jian Wu was already slow-witted, and you still tried to fool him,” the master murmured.

......

Li Junsu, unaware that he had been inexplicably targeted, had just arrived in Bianyun City.

"My lord!" Su An, who happened to be patrolling the street, rushed over.

“Perfect timing. Have Zhong Liang and the others come back and assemble in the hall,” Li Junsu said, handing the reins to Su An.

"Yes," Su An said, straightening up.

Six doors, a large hall.

"We're going to Lingnan to take up our new posts." This was the first thing everyone heard as they entered the hall.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

“Lingnan, that’s a wild and untamed land,” Su An said.

Then, everyone looked at Su An.

"Haha, we have the same thing here." Su An came back to his senses, scratched his head and laughed.
