Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

With a dark expression, Cai Xinzi turned around and said to all the constables, "Let's go, let's go back first."

Several young constables immediately became somewhat dissatisfied, muttering a few words as if they were complaining about something. Their voices were not loud, and those nearby could not hear them clearly, but they knew without listening that they were cursing Cai Xinzi.

Cai Xinzi said with a dark face, "Stop talking now, all of you, let's go. I'll talk to you when we get back to the yamen."

The constables turned back home, while Kailong, carrying Niu Xin, flew ahead to the yamen to find a doctor.

The other constables didn't look too good. The younger constables were cursing and swearing, and the older constables' dissatisfaction was about to overflow. Back inside the Six Doors, the atmosphere remained oppressive. Everyone sat still and didn't speak. They didn't touch the case files on the table, clearly waiting for Cai Xinzi to give an explanation.

Li Gu thought to himself: In this situation, why doesn't the imperial court send any celestial troops? If I were the Celestial Emperor, I should send a large army into the city to wipe out the Jiangzhou branch of the Demonic Sect, and even use this opportunity to designate the Demonic Sect as a "cult" and launch a nationwide crackdown. That would be more appropriate...

No, I made the mistake of thinking I was important!

The Celestial Emperor governs a vast Celestial Kingdom with an expansive territory. How could a small gang causing trouble in a tiny city possibly attract the Celestial Emperor's attention? The injuries to Niu Xin and Ma Zhi are a major event for the Jiangzhou government, but to the Celestial Emperor, such trivial matters are not even worth reporting to her.

Ultimately, this kind of thing has to be resolved by the local government itself, which depends on Cai Xinzi.

Just as he was thinking this, Cai Xinzi jumped onto the desk, standing tall with a dark face, and said, "Everyone! I, Cai Xinzi, know my own faults. I'm a coward, afraid of death. When I encounter a tough gang, I always instinctively shrink back. When I went to the Demonic Sect just now, I admit that I initially wanted to settle things peacefully, so I spent a long time arguing with Mo Xuanye, without really intending to do anything."

Several young constables scoffed.

Cai Xinzi continued, "But the Demonic Sect went too far this time. They injured Niu Xin right in front of us. They crossed the line! No matter how cowardly I, Cai Xinzi, am, I can't back down this time, otherwise the Demonic Sect will come after us."

He turned his gaze to Yao Xingjuan: "If even a single word I'm about to say reaches the ears of the Demonic Sect, I will hold you accountable."

Yao Xingjuan quickly raised his hands: "Chief Constable, don't worry, I am still a constable, and you are the ones on my side."

The two of them made a scene, which invigorated the other constables. It seemed that Cai Xinzi was about to say something bold.

Cai Xinzi said, "Listen up, brothers! The Demonic Sect is using the 'Divine Law of China' to pressure us today. Very well, very well. The one in this city who understands the 'Divine Law of China' best is definitely not the Demonic Sect, but our Six Doors! From now on, in Jiangzhou City, if any Demonic Sect member violates the 'Divine Law of China,' such as engaging in gang fights, smuggling and selling illegal goods, gambling, human trafficking, or carrying poison... you may arrest them on the spot and punish them severely according to the 'Divine Law of China'! If, during the arrest process, the other party violently resists the law, you may 'legally' kill them. Hmph! A bunch of gangsters dare to talk about the law? Let's talk to them clearly and see who knows how to use the law better."

"Oh, right! I want to add something." Cai Xinzi said, "From now on, the official documents I write will only say 'All the constables worked together to kill the demonic sect's thugs,' without specifying who did it. This way, if the demonic sect wants to retaliate, they can only target the Six Doors as a whole, and not any specific law enforcement officer."

The constables were invigorated!

Li Gu and Zhang Yi exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.

Cai Xinzi's actions are like a divine intervention, which means that the two of them can hide in the Six Doors' large-scale operations and secretly kill the demonic sect disciples without being mentioned in official documents.

Cai Xinzi slammed her foot on the table with a "bang": "Let me tell you this first, the Demonic Sect's retaliation is definitely coming. Brothers, you might get ambushed on the street. But... will you not get ambushed if you don't provoke them? Niu Xin and Ma Zhi are lying in bed right now! Only if we make the Demonic Sect feel the pain and be afraid will they dare not touch our people again."

At this point, Cai Xinzi said viciously, "I am the chief constable, the one with the highest risk. If I am killed by the Demonic Sect, Kailong, you will take over the position of temporary chief constable and report to the prefect that the bandits are rampant and even the chief constable has been killed. The Six Doors alone cannot handle it. Please send the Immortal Army to suppress the bandits and avenge me."

Kailong was stunned. He never expected that Lao Cai would have such a tough side. He couldn't help but clap his hands.

Although Yao Xingjuan had accepted money from the Demonic Sect, she had to quickly distance herself from them at this time, so she immediately joined in the applause.

Ji Menghan, who usually takes charge of the Yangtze River Gang, also clapped a few times.

Everyone inside the Six Doors applauded...

At this moment, the Six Doors finally resembled a proper government office.

----

Night falls, the wind blows through the courtyard, and the flowering trees sway gently in the night breeze.

Li Gu and Zhang Yi sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

An iron ruler spun and flew around Li Gu, incredibly agile, constantly unleashing various sword techniques in mid-air.

However, Zhang Yi's iron ruler was never used smoothly.

Li Gu made rapid progress in manipulating flying swords with detached spiritual energy threads, while Zhang Yi learned very slowly.

There's no way around it; people's aptitudes naturally differ, and modern people's ability to apply knowledge to new situations far surpasses that of the ancients, so it was inevitable that Zhang Yi would lag behind in this regard.

After practicing the [Combined Edge Sword] for a while, Li Gu turned his attention to the [Honeycomb Divine Palm]. He didn't intend to be content with just knowing one sword technique; he planned to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically. Therefore, while practicing the sword, he didn't intend to neglect fist, palm, or lightness skills.

Zhang Yi glanced over and saw that Li Gu struck out with his palm. The movement looked like a Qi Refining stage cultivator making a normal palm strike, but after the palm wind left his body, it actually split into countless fine palm winds, which spun and struck in several directions. These palm winds attacked each other in mid-air, or sometimes merged into one giant palm, which was extremely agile.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly: I can't even master the [He Feng Sword], while Junior Brother Li has already made progress in both swordsmanship and martial arts. Our aptitudes are truly worlds apart.

She couldn't help but recall the story of the Five Patriarchs of the Lotus Sect...

If someone falls behind on the path of cultivation, they will pass on their cultivation to their brothers.

Zhang Yi secretly made a decision: If one day my cultivation stagnates and I have no hope of ascending, I will give my cultivation to Junior Brother Li.

Thinking of this, he felt surprisingly calm. The anxiety he had just felt because his aptitude was not as good as Li Gu's suddenly vanished, and he entered a state of "complete harmony": his mind and spirit merged with the Great Dao, becoming one with it.

Her cultivation, which she had previously been unable to utilize due to the insufficient breadth of her meridians after "absorbing a large amount of cultivation," seemed to come alive in the "Mixed Harmony" state, beginning to help expand her meridians...

Zhang Yi suddenly opened his eyes, raised his index and middle fingers in a sword-finger gesture, and several strands of spiritual energy flew out of his body, pulling the flying sword to spin and fly up. The flying sword, which was not very agile just now, now seemed like a nimble snake.

The sword spun around, accidentally severing a strand of spiritual energy, but a new strand immediately connected, instantly restoring the out-of-control flying sword to its former agility.

Fu Wuhu, the fifth brother of the Lotus Five Patriarchs, was actually the one who valued brotherhood the most among the five brothers. From the beginning, he had no selfish motives and was determined to give his cultivation to his brothers if he were to fail.

As a result, Fu Sanjiang, who was the most petty and calculating, was the first to exhaust his lifespan, while Fu Wuhu, who was the most clumsy and selfless, successfully ascended to heaven and gained insight into the Dao of Heaven.
