The Heavenly Court is gone, I don't want to be a True Lord.

Zuo Qi picked up the giant axe, which was as wide as a door panel.

This giant axe was extraordinary, far superior to the halberd that was originally intended as a ceremonial weapon. After several collisions, the giant axe remained unharmed, but the halberd was chipped with several nicks.

He pursed his lips, regretting that he wasn't used to using an axe.

However, this axe possessed extraordinary powers; during their exchange, he could sense that the giant axe seemed to be able to control flames.

Look closely.

[A spiritual weapon (axe), an extraordinary weapon formed by fusing with a life bone, capable of controlling flames.]

Zuo Qi's eyes lit up. This thing should be able to be smelted a second time, right?

He entrusted Master Ou with forging weapons, but he was still missing some materials. Xu Jiang could use these materials, and so could he.

The Dragon-Slaying Halberd Technique is inherently a fire-attribute mystical art, and the life bones forged by this giant axe can also manipulate flames.

For a moment, he felt less hatred for Xu Jiang, who had hurt him, and considered it a meritorious act of presenting a treasure.

When he achieves something in the future, I will help Xu Jiang become famous throughout the martial arts world.

Zuo Qi's mood brightened.

The so-called spiritual weapon is not a legendary magic weapon, but a weapon that can withstand the release of Qi and blood from the fourth level of cultivation and transform it into a specific form.

In the martial arts world, there are people who can unleash dragon-shaped sword energy with a single strike. This not only confirms that the opponent is a fourth-level master, but also that they have cultivated a profound-level martial art, and that their weapon is a spiritual weapon.

The enhancement of combat power by spiritual weapons is self-evident.

It would be a waste to put this giant axe in Xu Jiang's hands.

What Zuo Qi didn't know was that the person with the supernatural ability to kill bones had assassinated an extremely important figure in the Xu family years ago, and ultimately died at the hands of Xu Jiang's father.

The Xu family later disintegrated, and the giant axe fell into Xu Jiang's hands. In order to maintain morale, the higher-ups of the remaining Xu family members did not forcibly take away Xu Jiang's giant axe.

……

In the woods.

Upon hearing the words of the newcomer, Xu Feng's face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with despair.

The worst-case scenario has occurred...

The Six Doors (a government agency) caught up with them.

With a single thought, he would bite down on the poison stuck in his molars.

But all that was heard was a soft chuckle. "Trying to commit suicide in front of us? You're overthinking it."

The woman in the red dress, who looked like a noble young lady in her boudoir, moved closer like a ghost, and just as Xu Feng's lips moved, a silver needle landed on his chest.

Women also undergo three trainings; if it were an ordinary person, Xu Feng might have been able to react.

However, Xu Feng had just finished a major battle and was exhausted, so he couldn't avoid it at all.

"If you don't want to suffer, tell me where your people are?"

The woman in the red dress asked with a smile.

But at that moment, Xu Feng suddenly rolled his eyes upward, leaving only the whites of his eyes visible.

His whole body trembled, and he fell straight backward.

Like dominoes falling, as Xu Feng fell, the rest of the Xu family members began to fall one after another.

For a time, only a handful of people remained standing in the forest.

A man carrying a shoulder pole, who looked like a farmer, quickly stepped forward, squatted down to examine the situation, and then his expression turned grim.

"It's another example of using the methods of the madman."

The Xu family was once the largest and most powerful family in Fushan City, with a wealth of resources. Fengjing Shen is a fundamental technique at the Earth Scripture level, and also a rare and unparalleled martial art that can temper one's soul.

As everyone knows, the Five Refinements for Forging the Spirit cultivates the legendary 'God,' which is the soul.

Feng Shenjing's most bizarre method is to plant a divine seed in a person's body in advance, which can kill the person from a distance of hundreds of miles.

This is why, even though the Six Doors knew that the Xu family was near Fushan City, they have been unable to track them down for so many years.

Unless it's absolutely necessary, the Xu family will simply kill anyone who isn't present.

"Nantou, what do we do?"

The members of the Six Doors looked at the middle-aged man holding the carrying pole and asked.

Nantou's gaze swept over the corpses of the Xu family members, landing on one of them as if he had discovered some clue.

It was Xu Song, whom Xu Feng had previously placed high hopes on.

He reached out and gently pressed on Xu Song's body, as if checking something.

"The body is trained in external martial arts. After death, when the body's vital energy and blood are lost, a golden light is faintly visible. This is the path of the Golden Seal Sect of Fengzhou."

Nantou muttered to himself, his voice suddenly growing louder.

"Sheng Lan, have the Six Doors of the prefectural city send a letter to the Golden Seal Sect, demanding an explanation from them."

The Six Doors actually refers to the Tian Ce Mansion, whose Grand General is the current emperor himself, and which has six guards under him. They are responsible for suppressing the martial arts world, managing the martial arts world, eliminating demons, secretly investigating various regions, and handling military intelligence.

……

The people from the Six Doors met Zuo Qi on the riverbank.

They all looked surprised.

Xu Jiang wielded a spiritual weapon, one forged from life bones, yet Zuo Qi miraculously survived.

Although he looked somewhat disheveled and was injured, he was still alive.

Nan Tou smiled and looked at Zuo Qi, "Zuo Qi?"

Zuo Qi admitted it.

"Lu Tongshou sent us."

He gestured to Zuo Qi not to reject the idea.

Zuo Qi remained noncommittal.

Where is Xu Jiang?

They ran away.

Nantou looked as if he had known it all along.

Presumably, it was an old monster who cultivated the Five Elements of the Divine Path who sensed the situation on Xu Feng's side and instructed Xu Jiang to escape after silencing him.

"The clues are gone, but I've noted your contribution. I heard from Lu Tongshou that you want to join the Six Doors?"

Zuo Qi remained silent.

"If you are willing, I can let you join right now and grant you the rank of a ninth-grade banner officer."

Zuo Qi's contributions were witnessed by Lu Xun and Lin Yuchan, so there was no way he could embezzle them.

Moreover, Nan Yue is no fool. A boy of ordinary background has cultivated to the point where he can resist a top-level master of the third level who wields a divine weapon in less than a year. Even if he only survived by chance while being chased by such a master, his future is destined to be extraordinary.

If you can't block their path, then befriend them.

"I have two brothers, I wonder if they can come along?"

Nantou's smile faded slightly.

"You're so young yet so capable, and you've already achieved something today. Plus, with City Guard Lu's influence, that's why I'm willing to vouch for you. What do you think the Six Doors are?"

He didn't know that Zuo Qi had already reached the third level of training. After all, Zuo Qi had only been practicing martial arts for less than a year, so reaching the third level was simply too far-fetched.

The fact that he was able to survive in Xu Jiang's hands must be because he had some special methods. He couldn't ask about these methods, because every martial artist has to have his own trump cards.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Qi said, "I'll join, but it will take some time. In winter, I'll help my two brothers settle their credit matters."

Nantou paused for a moment.

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver the talisman to you in a few days. You won't be assigned any missions until the beginning of spring next year. You'll be awarded 300 merit points for this achievement, and you can then access the Six Doors Treasury."

Before leaving, Zuo Qi remembered something and told the Nan Yue Stone family about it.

Nan Yue nodded, indicating that he would handle the rest.

The Six Doors have their own arrangements and protections for these "informants".

……

Dock, fish market.

Zuo Qi turned to look at the guests of the Lin family, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am deeply grateful for your righteous help today. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to ask, and I will do my best."

Li Gang and the others simply nodded.

In the past, they would have been happy, since Zuo Qi had made great contributions today and had been certified by the Six Doors, and might even be able to join the Six Doors directly.

But thinking about what happened today, how they narrowly escaped death, one of the three-stage masters died, and five of the two-stage masters died. Apart from He Xiao and Ni Heng, only one of the two-stage masters survived.

The group was disheartened. With the help of a doctor at the dock, they simply treated their wounds and then arranged for a carriage to return to the city the next day.

The arrival of many of the Lin family's retainers caught the attention of Yang Nuo of the Public Affairs Office, who even personally visited them to subtly and overtly investigate their intentions.

Zuo Qi brushed it off.

Looking at the man's back, Zuo Qi fell silent.

Life Points: 61

When I last saw Yang Nuo, his life force was below average. After not seeing him for a while, I didn't expect his life force to have increased.

I wonder if it was some kind of coincidence, or if it's related to the Xu family?

Zuo Qi was unaware that this matter involved the Sky Eye and could not be discussed with outsiders.

The next day, Zuo Qi did not stay at the dock any longer. He was bold as he was, but he had offended the Xu family and still needed to avoid them for the time being. The dock was too small to hide him.

He used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to go to the city to avoid trouble.

In Fushan City, he naturally stayed in the guest courtyard of the Lin family's sixth branch.

It looked much the same as when he left.

It's just that the weather has gotten a bit colder, and the leaves are starting to turn yellow.

Although the trip to Beikou Bay was extremely dangerous, and we encountered several masters of the Three Realms, the gains were also incredibly rich.

The Water Ghost Essence was of little use, so he gave it all to Ni Heng and He Xiao. The Ice Pearl and the Fierce Demon Scales would allow him to improve the two martial arts techniques he was currently practicing.

In addition, six doors have been added, through which one can find the fundamental law of a higher grade.

The time before the snowfall should be quite relaxing.
