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

Two years is but a fleeting moment for a martial artist.

But time won't give you any special treatment just because you're a martial artist.

A lot has happened in the past two years.

The ancestral sword of the Hidden Sword Pavilion has finally found its master. Although her master is annoyed with her, she can either act cute to get praise or pretend to cry and act pitiful.

Unfortunately, her master didn't buy it at all, which worried her greatly, fearing that Li Junyi might throw her away one day.

The fact that his master's fortune had inexplicably increased slightly left Wan Qingjian in awe.

We really can't let this opportunity slip away!

Lin Jin, nicknamed the Red Dust Sword, is the swordsman of Jian Su Mountain. He has grown a lot in the past two years, and even Ting Xie, who ranked seventh on the Human Ranking, has been pushed down.

However, this Red Dust Swordsman didn't seem to buy it. In fact, many young female warriors from powerful factions who were quite fond of him were all rejected by him with a single sentence.

"I'm sorry, I have someone I'm pursuing, and relationships would only be a burden."

Another nickname for the Red Dust Sword is the Demonic Hunter.

For some reason, this guy has become obsessed with the demonic path.

......

Lingnan Road, Six Doors, Martial Arts Arena.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Li Junsu asked Su An helplessly.

These past two days, Su An has been acting like a demon, staring intently at me every day, and I have no idea what he's looking at.

"Boss, I don't quite understand the Fengdu sword technique, so I've come to learn it from them," Su An said, half-jokingly.

It's true that he learned from others, but he only stole the essence of Li Junsu's martial arts.

Su An sighed as he thought of Li Junsu, whose faint image had already appeared in his mind.

"So, have the White Lotus Cult members shown up recently?" Li Junsu asked, slowly practicing the Fengdu Funeral Knife technique after hearing this.

A year ago, the White Lotus Sect inexplicably appeared in Lingnan Road. After Li Junsu killed two Guanshan disciples, the White Lotus Sect became much more subdued.

But recently, this group seems to have shown signs of taking action again.

Li Junsu also found this strange. The White Lotus Sect knew that Guanshan posed no threat to him, but they still sent two Guanshans, just like delivering vegetables to him. This was not normal.

Even the incident at the Prince Anle's Mansion, with eight Wanghai members and the Corpse-Driving Sect, was still considered a major event in the martial arts world.

But the two people sent by the White Lotus Sect this time were like vegetables delivered to the market.

Li Junsu was completely baffled. What exactly was the White Lotus Sect doing?

"Boss, how many more days until we can go to the capital?" Su An said in a low voice, counting on his fingers.

"Hmm," Li Junsu replied casually.

Li Junsu has completely taken control of Lingnan Road, and Zhennan City is now under the management of Tang Hong and the Miao sisters.

Zhong Liang and Huang Yun also began to discover many talented people and started to rise in rank, while Li Junsu began to become a hands-off manager.

Zhong Liang and Huang Yun are truly talented individuals. If you entrust tasks to them, Zhong Liang will not only handle them perfectly, but he will also be able to achieve nothing without making any mistakes.

Zhong Liang believed that his master had important matters to attend to, so all he could do was to handle his own affairs and help Li Junsu take care of the rear.

Huang Yun was determined to make sure everything was done perfectly without any mistakes. He was a very smooth person, and because of his experience in Bianyun City, he respected ordinary people more than martial artists, and was loved by the people.

With Huang Yun's high regard for Li Junsu, Li Junsu unknowingly won the hearts of a large portion of the people.

Tang Hong also demonstrated great flexibility, and under her leadership, the Gu clan and the people of Zhennan City got along very well.

Su An also began to take over most of the affairs in Haicheng, while Li Junsu, like Cui Zheng, wandered around Haicheng to see if there were any reckless Guanshan experts.

The results were few: a dozen or so reckless rogue cultivators plus two White Lotus Church leaders.

Li Junsu had a feeling that he was not far from achieving his goal. He needed to carefully observe the upcoming grand competition to see if there were any reckless individuals who didn't know their own mortality, and also to see if he could kill a couple of them.

At the same time, having killed about twenty Guanshan disciples, Li Junsu gained a deeper understanding of the realm.

He ranked them according to their combat strength. His grandfather was at the top of Guanshan. Li Qingfeng gave people a very distant and peaceful feeling. He was definitely building the mountain with his intention. Moreover, over the years, Li Qingfeng's intention has not changed at all.

At this level, Li Junsu only knew Yun Wuji and Jian Wu, plus himself.

The mountain at this level... is one's own will.

The next level is Zhao An. Zhao An is quite capable when facing ordinary mountain-viewers, but he struggles when facing ordinary sea-viewers.

Next is Zhong Liang. Zhong Liang is the absolute goalkeeper. If you can't beat Wang Hai after passing Zhong Liang, you can run away.

Most of the hall masters of the White Lotus Sect are at this level, and it's likely that the outer sect elders of other major powers are also around this level.

Below Zhongliang are demons and monsters. The mountains they observe are physical mountains, possessing power but lacking artistic conception, thus they cannot access the power of heaven and earth. They rely entirely on their own internal strength and the mountains they observe. They can bully those below their own level, but they will be rendered helpless when they encounter Zhongliang.

Some independent cultivators or the patriarchs of small families have reached this level, such as the patriarch of the Chu family.

This is why Li Yinian was so confident.

Li Junsu also grasped the key point, which is the artistic conception. The artistic conception is the biggest factor that determines a person's upper limit. Just like Yun Wuji easily killed Wang Hai, but he almost fought to the death with Fang Dayi. His artistic conception is killing, so he has to rely on killing to enhance his artistic conception.

At that time, not enough people were killed.

Those who stand in your way, kill them. That was the creed we established back then, so killing was the only option.

After Li Junsu killed more than ten Guanshan, the mountains within his realm grew larger and larger, and even slowly turned red.

At the same time, Li Junsu also understood why his grandfather was able to produce a level-one cultivation technique—it was simply because he was strong.

Then, Li Junsu's doubts deepened. Li Qingfeng's combat strength was so formidable, so why was he staying in Qingfeng City?

It's like an emperor who doesn't attend court and instead spends his time growing vegetables in the fields. What's an emperor doing holed up in a vegetable garden all the time?

"I'll have to go back and ask him properly when I have time," Li Junsu murmured to himself.
