Which chivalrous knight-errant doesn't disappear after committing murder? Expecting them to honestly turn themselves in to the authorities after killing someone is simply impossible.
Li Boyang knew this perfectly well. In reality, none of these three rules could be implemented by the entire martial arts world, nor did they need to be implemented by everyone.
What he wanted to do was let people know that anyone who violated these three rules would face the ruthless methods of the Six Doors. He wanted people in the martial arts world to naturally think of these three rules when they acted, so it was called an unspoken rule placed under the table.
Ultimately, these three unspoken rules will achieve the same effect as the law, making underworld figures think about the consequences of their actions before committing crimes.
So how can we get people to follow these three rules?
Naturally, he needed to establish his authority and suppress the martial arts world with ruthless methods, so that everyone would know the consequences of violating the rules set by Li Boyang.
For at least a long time to come, the future martial arts world will be engulfed in bloodshed and turmoil. Li Boyang seemed to see a vision of the future martial arts world before him.
Now that we've decided to do this, we must do it to the best of our ability. Without establishing the absolute authority of the Six Doors, we cannot deter those lawless heroes.
To accomplish these three difficult things would likely take several years, and these years would be the last time he spends in this dream world.
He's been in this Wudang dream world for quite some time now. He's mastered the most advanced techniques for circulating innate true energy and the martial arts moves that unleash its power, and he's basically achieved his goal of coming here.
Logically speaking, Li Boyang only exchanged one top scholar title with Zhu Yuanzhang, which seems like a loss for him.
That's not actually the case, because the accounts can't be calculated that way.
First of all, whether it's a loss or not cannot be measured by the difficulty. If Li Boyang were to take the exam in the normal way to become the top scholar, not to brag, but to put him in the same exam as those old scholars who have devoted their lives to studying the imperial examinations.
It's not that he might not pass the exam even in a few years, let alone ten. It just means he couldn't pass it through his own abilities. Why can't he cheat by using connections?
Moreover, purging the martial arts world is not entirely without its benefits.
Li Boyang's understanding of martial arts techniques has now reached a level of perfection, and he is only one step away from touching the highest level of the Wudang world: the stage of "no moves are better than moves".
What does it mean to be able to beat others without using any moves? In his view, to reach the level of being able to beat others without using any moves, one must first understand the moves to the point where one can use any move at will.
Only then can we talk about how I can strike without leaving a trace, so that the enemy cannot discern my true intentions, while I am fully aware of the enemy's methods.
To put it simply, it boils down to two words: knowledge and experience.
Or rather, it could be described as a foundation in martial arts.
The way to build up one's foundation is naturally to observe the divine skills and unique techniques of various schools and sects in the Wudang world, as well as the martial arts manuals circulating in the martial arts world.
Taking charge of the Six Doors is crucial for cultivation at this stage, providing tremendous assistance.

Chapter 152 The Six Doors Established
Although the Six Doors have been established, they are just an empty shell.
Today, the Six Doors can be described as being penniless.
Zhu Yuanzhang only prepared some supporting officials for Li Boyang, but if these officials could intimidate the heroes of the martial arts world, then there would be no need for him.
Li Boyang needs experts, lots and lots of experts.
Although Li Boyang has been hailed as the number one person in the world since the Battle of Dadu, he alone cannot intimidate the entire martial arts world.
On the third day after taking over the Six Doors, Li Boyang issued a call for talent to the martial arts world.
As long as someone is skilled, no matter what mistakes they may have made in the past, once they join the Six Doors, all past transgressions will be forgiven, as long as they don't repeat them in the future.
Not only that, Li Boyang also moved all the martial arts manuals that Zhu Yuanzhang had collected during his conquest of the country to the Six Doors, and promised those who joined him that as long as they made meritorious contributions to the Six Doors, these manuals could be passed on.
More importantly, Li Boyang presented his Nine Yin Manual and Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Divine Skill as the Six Doors' most treasured possessions, and told everyone that once they joined the Six Doors, they would have the opportunity to learn them.
The moment this news broke, the entire martial arts world was shaken.
For those in the martial arts world, the most precious thing is not money or beautiful women, but martial arts classics.
With superior martial arts skills, how could one not be afraid of making money?
With superior martial arts skills, why worry about not having the favor of beauties?
With superior martial arts skills, money and beautiful women are easily within reach.
Li Boyang cultivates the Nine Yin Manual, which is no secret in the martial arts world and is known to everyone.
The Nine Yin Manual had already gained great fame by the end of the Song Dynasty. After Li Boyang and Qiu Chuji besieged and killed Shi Le's successor in the Battle of Dadu, the Nine Yin Manual was implicitly known as the number one martial arts skill in the Central Plains.
The Tai Chi Divine Skill, which the Six Doors (a martial arts organization) refers to as comparable to the Nine Yin Manual, is clearly a profound martial art that directly points to the innate level.
So as soon as the news spread, the entire martial arts world was immediately filled with followers, and all those unattached, lone wandering knights rushed to Jinling.
Nobody wants to fall behind; what if someone else learns the Nine Yin Manual first?
As these martial arts figures flooded into Jinling, the city's public order instantly descended into chaos. Expecting these heroes to obediently abide by the law was practically impossible.
This is also why Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on dealing with the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world); if left unchecked, these Jianghu figures would become a major headache for the imperial court.
Less than three days later, an official had already submitted a memorial to the court, accusing Li Boyang of being arrogant and domineering and protecting wandering knights.
Li Boyang merely curled his lip in disdain, ignoring it completely. Wanting a horse to run without feeding it—that's illogical.
As for the problem of disorderly public security in Nanjing, let the Ministry of Justice deal with that. What he needs to do is select suitable candidates from among these martial arts families to join the Six Doors.
The Six Doors government office in the northwest corner of Jinling.
