The seamlessly inherited martial skills can be acquired through personal cultivation without the need for exchange,a fact Su Xin had long been aware of.When he exchanged for the Blood River Divine Sword,the system mentioned that when the Blood River Divine Sword reached perfection,one could comprehend the Blood River Divine Finger on their own.
Now,Su Xin's use of the Three-Finger Sky Strike has significantly increased the proficiency of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Astonishing Divine Finger.In essence,it is similar to the Blood River Divine Sword from before.The Three-Finger Sky Strike is the ultimate skill derived from perfecting the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Astonishing Divine Finger.Although Su Xin is currently using it as a consumable,his foundation in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Astonishing Divine Finger allows for substantial comprehension.
This is akin to having a knowledgeable teacher of this martial art demonstrate it for you on the spot,and even more vividly so.Despite being a consumable technique,it is still executed by Su Xin's body.Once used,it disappears,but the sensation lingers.
This serves as a shortcut in the system,where certain martial arts can be comprehended without the need for exchange,much like the Three-Finger Sky Strike.
Su Xin's proficiency in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Astonishing Divine Finger is nearing 100%.With continued practice or another use of the Three-Finger Sky Strike,he might successfully comprehend the ultimate essence of this astonishing divine finger.
During the few hours Su Xin took to recover his strength,he had just infiltrated the Yearly Gang's Autumn Altar,faced three moves from Dong Buyi,and managed to reclaim the tax and supervisory rights for Jiangnan Dao.This news quickly spread,causing a stir in a considerable portion of Jiangnan Dao.
Dong Buyi's strength and temperament were well-known,and Su Xin's ability to single-handedly seize benefits from him surprised many martial sects in Jiangnan Dao.However,most of the second-rate and first-rate powers paid little attention,as facing three moves from a Yuan Shen Realm expert doesn't necessarily mean surpassing the Yuan Shen Realm.The most plausible explanation was that Dong Buyi feared causing serious harm and chose to hold back,preventing a conflict with the Six Doors.Hence,Su Xin could confront him for three moves.
The real perplexity among the people was not that Su Xin successfully faced Dong Buyi's three moves but that Dong Buyi unexpectedly handed back the canal transport taxes and supervisory rights to the Six Doors.This puzzled them.After all,Dong Buyi,the leader of the Autumn Altar in the Yearly Gang,was known to be difficult to deal with.
They were unaware of how Su Xin managed to obtain the tax and supervisory rights from Dong Buyi.Those three moves were the crucial point.Although Su Xin's words were convincingly persuasive,if he couldn't withstand Dong Buyi's three moves and revealed any signs of weakness,he would likely not leave the Yearly Gang unscathed.
As Dong Buyi himself said,fists could prove everything.In half a day,the news spread rapidly.However,within the Six Doors of Jiangnan Fu,the information had not yet reached them.
Huang Bingcheng and Li Huai were anxiously waiting,while Lei Yuan called Liu Hao and Chen Bai to his side.
With a joyful expression,Lei Yuan said,"Both of you,Su Xin has entered the Yearly Gang's Autumn Altar.It shouldn't be long before he makes a fool of himself.We should prepare as well."
Liu Hao lazily replied,"What else do you want to prepare?Even if we can't beat Su Xin,do you want us to join you in causing trouble?I don't want to accompany you to seek death."
Lei Yuan's face darkened,but he quickly smiled,"There's no need to play tough.After this incident,Su Xin's prestige will be greatly damaged.In Jiangnan Dao,he will be like an ignorant clown,bringing shame to the Six Doors.I suggest that we unite and submit a letter of impeachment directly to the Six Doors headquarters in Shengjing City,accusing Su Xin.As a deputy chief and with your three major forces,I can also bring in more than ten other chief constables from different regions.With nearly half of the people accusing Su Xin,and with the truth on our side,we can easily find the secret agents of the Six Doors in Jiangnan Dao to testify at any time."
Lei Yuan sneered,"In this way,even if Su Xin is truly Iron Proud's illegitimate son,the higher-ups will no longer tolerate his chaos in Jiangnan Dao.Even if they don't strip him of his chief constable position,they will definitely transfer him out of Jiangnan Dao."
Chen Bai nodded in agreement.Lei Yuan's plan seemed reasonable and meticulous,likely to succeed.However,Liu Hao didn't care,saying,"Don't forget the condition you promised me.Make that guy surnamed Feng quickly leave Xiao Yu alone and stop bothering her."
Lei Yuan chuckled,"Rest assured,Liu brother.After this matter is settled,I'll talk to the Feng family about this and even redeem that courtesan for you."
While they were discussing,a constable rushed in and exclaimed,"Bad news!Su Xin is back!"
Lei Yuan frowned and scolded,"Who allowed you to come in?Su Xin is back;so what?Why are you panicking?"
The constable anxiously said,"The news has already spread outside.Su Xin entered the Yearly Gang's Autumn Altar alone,faced the three moves of the Autumn Altar's leader,the'Nine Mountain God'Dong Buyi,and not only emerged unscathed but also retrieved the canal transport taxes and the supervisory rights of the Six Doors."
Upon hearing the news,Lei Yuan and the others were initially in disbelief–it seemed like a tale from a distant land.
"Are you sure this news isn't something Su Xin made up and spread himself?"Lei Yuan inquired.
The constable quickly shook his head,"The Yearly Gang spread this news themselves.Almost half of Jiangnan Dao knows about it,and we,inside Jiangnan Fu,are among the last to know.Su Xin is already back and wants all of you to go over."
Lei Yuan and the others were almost dumbfounded.Just when they were planning to use this incident against Su Xin,it turned out the Yearly Gang trip worked in his favor.
Lei Yuan could imagine that Su Xin's reputation within the Six Doors of Jiangnan Dao would soar after this incident.People like Zhao Yiming would undoubtedly align with Su Xin.
In the Six Doors meeting hall,besides Lei Yuan and others,all the constables from Jiangnan Dao's Six Doors had gathered.Their gazes towards Su Xin were mixed with awe and a hint of fear.
Everyone had considered Su Xin's Yearly Gang trip a joke,only to realize they were the ones truly being mocked.
Especially Lu Xu and Zhao Yiming–now they understood why Su Xin seemed so confident and indifferent when recruiting them before.Now that Su Xin had successfully infiltrated the Yearly Gang,retrieved the benefits belonging to the Six Doors from the tiger's mouth,Lu Xu and Zhao Yiming would undoubtedly pledge allegiance to Su Xin without hesitation.
As Lei Yuan and others entered the hall,despite their somewhat awkward expressions,Lei Yuan greeted with a smile,"Congratulations,Lord Su,for a victorious return.Managing to retrieve the benefits for our Six Doors from the Yearly Gang is truly commendable."
A sly glint flashed in Su Xin's eyes,"You congratulate me?Haha,there's nothing for me to be congratulated about.I should be congratulating Deputy Chief Constable Lei instead.I assume you gained quite a bit from the Yearly Gang last month in terms of cultivation resources,didn't you?Perhaps,you haven't shared it with everyone?"
Hearing Su Xin's words,cold sweat dripped down Lei Yuan and Wang Jingping's foreheads.Lei Yuan forced a smile,"Lord Su,what do you mean?I don't quite understand."
"Don't understand?Heh,"Su Xin sneered,"You two have close ties with the traitor Jin Wulin,selling the interests of the court to the Yearly Gang in exchange for cultivation resources.Do you think you can keep this a secret forever?"
The heads of the prefectural constables in the hall were stunned,looking at Lei Yuan and Wang Jingping with horrified eyes.If this was true,these two had dared to do something incredibly audacious!Initially,they believed the Yearly Gang's sudden swallowing of the court's tax and driving away the monitoring constables stationed at the canal docks was due to the weakness of the Six Doors in Jiangnan Dao and the Yearly Gang's excessive dominance.Now,it seemed there was more to the story.If this revelation surfaced,Lei Yuan and Wang Jingping would face severe consequences.
Sensing trouble,Lei Yuan quickly shouted,"Slander!Su Xin,this is slander!What evidence do you have to accuse us of this?You're clearly making excuses to eliminate dissidents.I will go to the Six Doors headquarters in Shengjing City to impeach you!"
Su Xin took out the ledger given to him by Dong Buyi and waved it,"Here are the accounts of every transaction with the Yearly Gang.If you don't believe me,I'll bring members of the Yearly Gang who dealt with you to confront you.How about that?"
At the sight of the ledger,Lei Yuan and Wang Jingping's faces turned pale.They were familiar with the accounting ledger the Yearly Gang used.
However,they never expected Su Xin,who had clearly snatched the benefits from the Yearly Gang's mouth,to be handed such evidence by them.Since when did the Yearly Gang,presumably harboring deep hatred for Su Xin,provide him with proof?
The other prefectural constables in the hall,realizing the truth,shook their heads.Lei Yuan and Wang Jingping had no chance of turning the situation around.
In the midst of this,Lei Yuan,who had been hanging his head as if in despair,suddenly moved.He swiftly bypassed the crowd and ran outside.
This caught everyone off guard,especially Wang Jingping and the others who still wore expressions of despair.They didn't have time to run with Lei Yuan.
However,Lei Yuan's escape was futile.He was fast,but someone was faster!
In less than a breath after Lei Yuan had run out,a dark figure beside Su Xin shot past the crowd.Swift and merciless,a sharp sword aura directly slashed towards Lei Yuan!
