Chapter 207: Chapter 207: The Six Doors’ Arrangement, Tiger Capturing and Dragon Catching

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Six Gates was heavy. After a moment, Divine Constable Jin Feihua spoke.

"Your missions are not yet complete. Continue with your assigned tasks."

As Jin Feihua’s words fell, the constables of the Six Gates quickly departed one by one.

The reason everyone had returned to the Six Gates today was the arrival of Kou Gui, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, a third-rank official. He had also demanded that all constables of the Six Gates within White Jade City return.

That was why they had all come back to the Six Gates.

"What good ever comes from the sects? Why does the Court insist on protecting them?"

Divine Constable Tie Zexin’s face showed his indignation. He had a very poor impression of the sects. His family had been annihilated by a sect; he had survived but endured great hardship. It was only after joining the Six Gates that he had risen in prominence, so naturally, he held no fond feelings for the sects.

Usually, whenever the Court issued a warrant for the scum of the sects, he was the first to accept the mission and bring them to justice.

"Didn’t you hear Lord Kou? The Court needs stability right now. It’s not about protecting the sects."

Dongfang Hong, another of the Divine Constables, spoke up. His hatred for the sects wasn’t as intense. Having grown up in White Jade City, his background was not as tragic. However, his stance was also that the sects should be gradually eliminated, allowing the Court to control the world.

"Stopping now will affect *his* plan. But since Lord Kou came in person, if we continue to target the sects, it won’t end well for us. It’s better to let *him* arrange for someone else to make a move."

"Besides, Lord Kou went to the palace today. This might be the Emperor’s will."

Leng Xiu, however, was perfectly calm as he stated the Six Gates’ options.

If they defied the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, a third-rank official, right after he came to the Six Gates to discuss this matter, the Six Gates would be courting death.

If it was an order from Emperor Yang Yu, then defying it would naturally lead to a Blood Exchange within the Six Gates. They, the Divine Constables, might all end up as prisoners.

Under these circumstances, the choice was very simple.

"Alright. From now on, the Six Gates will not actively involve itself in sect matters, unless we receive word from the Dali Temple."

Jin Feihua made the decision directly, not waiting for Tie Zexin to retort.

Leng Xiu’s analysis was excellent. Since the Six Gates’ actions had likely come to the Emperor’s attention, they naturally couldn’t continue.

Their previous probing was reasonable, but to continue targeting them would no longer be so.

"Yes."

With Jin Feihua’s command, the other three Divine Constables naturally complied. In a sense, Jin Feihua was their senior sister.

They would naturally obey her command, and besides, it was a reasonable one.

’A choice has to be made. I hope this was the right one.’

Jin Feihua watched the three of them leave, her brow slightly furrowed. This matter was not simple. It wasn’t that the Six Gates was deliberately targeting the sects that had entered White Jade City, but that someone wanted them to. It was a calculated act. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Six Gates’ current position was awkward. Jin Feihua naturally wanted the Six Gates to rise again, at least to the status it held when it was first established. Back then, the Dali Temple was not their direct superior but an equal.

But now, because of what happened back then, it had fallen into decline.

...

「In the Cyan Yuan Pavilion.」

Yang Chan was waiting for midnight to arrive. After reaching White Jade City today, he had begun consuming various medicines—some taken internally, others applied externally. He had used them all. Now, he was waiting to see the results and, at the same time, add some points to raise his Cultivation.

Yang Chan had no intention of hoarding something as good as Potential Points. After all, they couldn’t beget offspring, so it was far more practical to convert them into personal strength.

After midnight, Yang Chan looked at the 3.2 new Potential Points on his panel and felt very satisfied.

The extra 0.1 Potential Points didn’t come from any other medicines, but from the First Revolution Nourishing Viscera Pill. The First Revolution Nourishing Viscera Pills he had refined before only gave him 0.4 Potential Points each. Because he was about to leave the Sect, he had gone on an Alchemy frenzy recently, and the pills he produced were naturally of better quality.

Now, they could provide him with 0.5 Potential Points. Since he had better elixirs, he would naturally use them. He had already gotten rid of all the previously accumulated ones.

His current Sharp Weapon Level Armor and Long Sword were obtained by trading a portion of those disposed-of elixirs. Exchanging them within the Sect had come with quite a few discounts, and the cost was still within an acceptable range for him.

Of his three Potential Points, Yang Chan put one into the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method—this was crucial for increasing his power. He put another point into the Sword Master profession, which could raise his Combat Power and also increase his combat experience, something also very important to Yang Chan.

After all, he didn’t have much practical experience fighting others, so he could use point allocation to compensate for this deficiency.

He allocated the last Potential Point to the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal. The Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal could still be improved because the one he currently had was incomplete, only capable of unleashing a fraction of its full Combat Power.

If the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal was upgraded again, it could reach the level of Tiger Capturing and Dragon Catching. This was similar to the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Martial Seal; it was a fusion of two Martial Seals. Further improvement would increase his Combat Power.

If he were still in the Cyan Yuan Sect, he wouldn’t be in a hurry to upgrade the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal. Instead, he would have added points to the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill. But now, in the unpredictable situation of White Jade City, he planned to increase his strength to have the power to protect himself.

Although the people arranged by the Sect were not bad, at a critical moment, he still trusted his own strength more.

After allocating the three Potential Points, his strength increased once again.

Previously, on the road, before his Wind-Stepping Technique reached Tier Four Masterful, he had been putting his points into the Wind-Stepping Technique and the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method. After the Wind-Stepping Technique reached Tier Four Masterful, he began allocating his extra Potential Points to the Sword Master profession.

Only now that he had another extra point did he put it into the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal. Therefore, his Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal hadn’t improved much; it was only at Tier Three Mastery 3%. The benefit, however, was that with each point added, he could feel his Spirit improve, and his Cultivation progress also sped up.

Although the progress of his Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method wasn’t fast, it had now reached Tier Three Mastery 12%. Once it reached twenty percent, he would complete the Tempering of another organ, and his strength would undergo a qualitative leap. However, at the current rate, it would take at least a month, meaning he would probably have to return to the Cyan Yuan Sect before he could advance.

The Sword Master profession was currently at Tier One Initial Glimpse 5%. Its progression speed wasn’t fast either, and it consumed quite a few Potential Points. However, the results were even more noticeable than with the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal. His Sword Intent was constantly strengthening, which in turn also boosted his Spiritual Power. This effect was the most apparent.

After he finished allocating the three Potential Points, Yang Chan lay down on his bed and fell asleep. Although he had been traveling by carriage, he still felt somewhat exhausted. It was only natural to go to bed early.
