"Have those chieftains started trouble again?"
Shi Feixue is around forty years old, but martial artists who enter the Qi Refining Realm can live up to one hundred and fifty years, so she looks very young.
Ren Yu nodded and said:
"It's another water dispute, and this time it's gotten quite big."
Shi Feixue grinned and said:
"Let the government handle it themselves. Don't they still have the Six Doors?"
Ren Yu roughly guessed what Shi Feixue meant, but still asked for confirmation:
"What do you mean, Master?"
Shi Feixue said calmly:
"Naturally, we'll just sit idly by and do nothing."
"By the way, has the government found out about our interception and killing of several Six Doors constables?"
Compared to the conflict between the Han people and the chieftains, Shi Feixue was more concerned about the actions of the Six Doors. A while ago, the Quick Sword Manor killed several constables from the Six Doors.
The reason, of course, was that these constables from the Six Doors had secretly learned that they were actually there to investigate Quick Sword Manor, so they simply decided to kill them all.
They believed they had acted without anyone noticing, but little did they know that the Six Doors had already confirmed that Quick Sword Manor was the murderer.
Ren Yu pondered for a moment, then said with some skepticism, "They probably haven't discovered it yet, otherwise the government wouldn't have sent us out to mediate the conflict between the chieftain and the Han people."
Shi Feixue nodded and said:
"Tell the disciples of the manor to behave themselves during this time, and not to cause trouble unnecessarily, lest they attract the attention of the Six Doors."
Shi Feixue was still very wary of the Six Doors. Killing those Six Doors constables was a last resort, because those constables had a lot of shady evidence against the Quick Sword Manor, so he had to resort to this tactic.
Ren Yu's face showed a disdainful expression, and he said arrogantly, "Master, you are already a top expert in the Innate Realm, are you afraid of the Six Doors?"
In his view, the manor lord is now a top expert in the Innate Realm, on the same level as the leader of the Six Doors. So what if he killed a few Six Doors constables? The manor lord's current strength may not be weaker than that Blood Hand Butcher.
"It's not that I'm afraid of the Six Doors, it's just that I don't want to cause trouble."
After entering the Qi Refining Realm, Shi Feixue truly realized the vastness of the heavens. Before entering the Qi Refining Realm, she thought that although Blood Hand Butcher was powerful, he was only one realm higher than her. Only after entering the Qi Refining Realm did she realize that she was still a novice in martial arts.
"Okay, I understand. I'll pass the message on right away."
Just as the second-in-command, Ren Yu, was about to turn and leave.
Two loud bangs suddenly came from the main gate of Quick Sword Manor.
"Who dares to come to my Quick Sword Manor?"
Shi Feixue frowned and immediately flew away with Ren Yu.
Upon arriving at the gates of Kuaijian Manor, Shi Feixue was stunned by what she saw.
A man dressed in a scholar's robe stepped on the plaque hanging above the gate of Quick Sword Manor. In front of the man, dozens of disciples of Quick Sword Manor had drawn their longswords, pointing them directly at him, but they looked at him with fear and dared not make a move.
The courtyard was filled with the corpses of disciples from the Quick Sword Manor; without even looking, it was clear that the man in the scholar's robe was responsible.
"Who are you? My Quick Sword Manor has no grudge against you, so why are you so ruthless?"
Shi Feixue had not participated in the Battle of Dadu, so she naturally did not recognize that the man in the scholar's robe was the leader of the Six Doors, the Blood-Handed Butcher Li Boyang.
Li Boyang took out a token from the Six Doors from his pocket, gently shook it, and said:
"It's okay if you don't recognize me, but do you know this brand?"
"Are you from the Six Doors?"
Shi Feixue recognized the sign at a glance, realizing that her order to intercept and kill the Six Doors constables had indeed been discovered.
Ren Yu stared at the corpses of the Quick Sword Manor disciples, his face extremely grim, and said sternly:
"You dare to trespass on my Quick Sword Manor and kill so many of my disciples. I don't care if you're from the Six Doors or not, all of you, get him and kill him!"
Seeing dozens of disciples from the Quick Sword Manor wielding their swords and leaping forward, the sky filled with sword shadows that instantly enveloped Li Boyang.
Just as the sword shadow was about to reach him, Li Boyang suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot. Everyone only saw a blur and lost their target.
Only Shi Feixue exclaimed in shock:
"You are Li Boyang, the Bloodthirsty Butcher."
While others couldn't catch a glimpse of Li Boyang's figure, Shi Feixue, who had already entered the Qi Refining Realm, saw Li Boyang's ghostly figure.
"What, you seem surprised? When you killed the Six Doors constables, didn't you expect me to come in person?"
After dodging the sword shadows, Li Boyang unleashed dozens of palm strikes in mid-air. This method of using innate true energy to strike acupoints from a distance was the most effortless way to deal with the miscellaneous people in the Acquired Realm.
Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions rang out, and the once fierce-looking disciples of Quick Sword Manor fell to the ground in an instant.
"Bloody Butcher, don't think I'm afraid of you."
Shi Feixue gritted his teeth, knowing that this matter could not be resolved peacefully. He drew his famous sword, Hanxue, and suddenly appeared behind Li Boyang while Li Boyang was slaughtering the disciples of Kuaijian Villa.
In an instant, a dozen sword beams emerged, covering Li Boyang's entire body. This was his signature sword technique, the Nine Forms of Whirlwind.
