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

Six doors, a large hall.

"Boss, is this communication token made of jade?" Su An looked at the communication token with some curiosity.

"Hmm." Li Junsu looked at the intricate patterns on the token and put it into his ring.

"Why didn't they give it to you sooner?" Su An muttered.

“If I fail, taking back these tokens will be another troublesome matter,” Li Junsu explained, raising an eyebrow.

This token doesn't look cheap; it's only given to those who are firmly seated, serving as both recognition and insurance.

"Oh." Su An was clearly unimpressed.

"Boss, what reward did you get from above?" Su An asked.

"You can all choose a top-tier Xuan-level cultivation technique. I'm at the Di-level. As for the rest... His Majesty will personally give them to me after we return to the capital to report for duty," Li Junsu said with a smile.

The emperor is indeed generous; he's a carbon copy of that other emperor.

"Boss, what do you choose?" Su An nodded, then looked at Li Junsu.

He possesses a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique; what he needs next is time, not external aids.

"I'll ask Chief Constable He to help me decide which body-refining techniques are good," Li Junsu said casually.

......

Jiangnan Road, Six Doors.

"Body-refining techniques?" Yan Gui scratched his head.

“Yeah, your… Demon Devouring Ceremony is pretty good,” He Ning said.

The Demon-Devouring Ceremony sounds impressive, but it's actually a body-refining technique that involves killing people to strengthen one's physique. If the target is a demonic cultivator, the effect is doubled.

The creator of this demonic tome was also a member of the demonic path, which only shows that the demonic path is one where the wicked prey on the wicked.

"Not really," Yan Gui said, shaking his head.

"What potential risks are there?" He Ning asked curiously.

"Not really, it's just... practicing this isn't good for his image, let's look for something else," Yan Gui said.

It wasn't that he was stingy, but rather that the higher-ups intended for Li Junsu to become the face of the younger generation, and if his own magic book were activated... it wouldn't look good.

“That’s true.” He Ning came back to his senses and nodded.

Once Yan Gui activates his Demon-Devouring Body, his entire body is shrouded in black mist. Coupled with Yan Gui's unrestrained and lewd laughter, his image is indeed not very good.

"How was King Wu's Phoenix Cry?" Yan Gui suddenly slapped his thigh.

Phoenix Cry, originally named Azure Dragon Heavenly Forging Technique, is a technique that uses the power of heaven and earth to temper oneself, allowing one to forge their body anytime, anywhere. It is Li Su's masterpiece.

The tempered martial body has no other effect than being powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with a dragon.

Moreover, it will not change itself, becoming dark and gloomy or other strange shapes.

As for why it's called Fengming, it's because the emperor compared himself to a majestic phoenix, so Li Su decided to call it Fengming.

"This... is fine." He Ning hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The audio transmission token link has been lost.

Li Su's Martial King's Codex is only Heaven-rank, while his Phoenix Cry is only Earth-rank. Using them... is acceptable, I suppose.

If you're going to give something, give it the best; you can't lose face.

......

"Phoenix Cry? Sure, I'll personally deliver it to you in a couple of days." Li Su finished his body tempering and cracked his neck in agreement.

......

Six doors, a large hall.

"Boss, here's your letter." Su An, having finished his inspection, stepped into the hall and handed over the letter.

Li Junsu's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the letter signed by his sister.

"What's my ranking on the leaderboard?" Li Junsu asked.

"Secondly," Su An said casually. In his opinion, it wouldn't be long before Li Junsu was about to give Yun Wuji a sound beating.

Li Junsu licked his lips and opened the letter.

[To the esteemed Chief Constable of Lingnan Circuit, Second on the List of Successors, Li Junsu]

Oh dear, Chief Constable, you must have a terrible memory! But I am truly flattered that the second-ranked person on the list is willing to coax this humble woman.

......

Are you alright? (crossed out) I'll deal with you again in the World Championship.

I'm planning to deal with your sister.

Li Junsu closed the letter and touched his neck.

"What's wrong, boss?" Su An asked Li Junsu curiously.

"It's nothing." Li Junsu put away the letter and pondered for a moment.

Two years later, Li Junyi was no longer so angry. He decided to leave it to his future self to handle.

Then, Li Junsu opened the second letter, which seemed to be from Jian Wu.

Brother Li, how have you been? I plan to make a trip to Lingnan so we can meet and discuss things in detail.

Sword Mountain, Sword Beauty.

"Jian Wu is coming?" Li Junsu stroked his chin.

"Could it be that Jian Su Mountain is interested in doing business in Lingnan?" Li Junsu wondered.

"Swordless?" Su An tilted his head.

Our boss seems to have good relationships with all the top ten on the Human Ranking, yet Jian Wuke is only fifth on the Human Ranking.

"Hmm, Feng Fan and the others have expanded their business?" Li Junsu asked, looking at Su An.

"Not yet, we'll start preparing now," Su An replied.

"Then let's wait," Li Junsu said, standing up.

As for what Jian Wu came for, he probably just came to take a look, since his ranking had risen too quickly.

Li Junsu put these thoughts aside; it was time to cultivate.

As business expands, things get busier. Now, large merchant caravans have already moved into Lingnan. The busier it gets, the more people from the martial arts world will come.

If the Shaolin Temple hadn't moved from Henan to Jiangnan, Jiangnan would be in a state of chaos, if not utterly chaotic, then certainly a place where demons run rampant.

Li Junsu loves chaos and disorder. In two more years, once things get lively, there will be plenty of opportunities to kill people.

He now sees Guanshan as a chicken to be slaughtered.

His path only requires killing.

......

"This is...Lingnan?" Yi Shuang murmured, looking at the city gate in front of her.

Yi Shuang, the third elder of Cangjian Pavilion, is now the pavilion master because Cangjian Pavilion accidentally provoked a Martial Venerable.

The patriarch of the Hidden Sword Pavilion was also a Martial Venerable, but unfortunately, he was killed.

If the power of the ancestral sword in the Hidden Sword Pavilion hadn't remained undiminished, the Hidden Sword Pavilion would have been ruined.

As for Yi Shuang, because she was skilled in divination, she saw that her senior brother had been captivated by a simple young girl. How could she accept that?

Now she was certain that Li Junyi was not that naive little girl; Li Junyi was ruthless.

But she still wanted to confirm it again.

Yi Shuang thought to herself as she walked through the city gate.

The moment Yi Shuang stepped through the city gate, she sensed that... the city was very dangerous.

Yi Shuang looked at the crowd of people dressed as constables, took a deep breath, lowered her head, and walked straight ahead.

The constables looked at Yi Shuang, who was carrying a sword on her back, and then slowly looked away, as if to say, "I'm a law-abiding citizen, don't look anymore."

"Huff~ huff~" Yi Shuang breathed steadily as she walked into the inn.

She had just looked towards the sea when the man in the city had already beheaded Wang Hai, and it was the righteous prince Fang Dayi who had been beheaded.

Then, Yi Shuang's pupils shrank, and she froze on the spot.

She wasn't ready yet.

"Okay, eat it. It's my fault." Li Junsu apologized to Xue Ling, who kept rubbing her cheeks in protest.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't forget next time," Li Junsu patiently repeated.

Li Junsu didn't even glance at Yishuang before walking into the inn.

Yi Shuang snapped out of her daze, clutching the necklace around her neck, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she had a magical artifact that allowed her to conceal her true level.
