Capítulo 1129: Chapter 22: Rules

“Let me indulge just once more.”

“Impossible.”

“I promise it will be quick.”

“Ning Sword Immortal, please have some respect.”

“Tch, so stingy.”

“…..”

Li Fei’s face darkened as he shook off Ning Qingman’s pestering.

These past few days, she always wanted him to transform into the Divine Sword again so she could practice her swordsmanship.

Though in this process, he would also gain some insights, experiencing the Power of Dao and Ning Qingman’s Sword Dao.

But Li Fei still refused without hesitation!

After getting rid of Ning Qingman, he flew with the wind to the center of Tan City.

In the square here, a huge ritual altar was being constructed, with hundreds of magicians busy arranging the array.

Li Fei landed on top of the altar, and soon a man in a purple Daoist robe came up to greet him.

“Greetings, Marquis Jing’an.”

“True Master Wang, how are things?”

Li Fei asked.

The person was the chief True Master of the Righteous Law Department in East Ping Province, Wang Rui.

Just a word from Marquis Jing’an and the entire East Ping Province was alarmed!

People from the government, East Peace University, and even the Jianghu all rushed to Tan City.

Wang Rui, upon learning it was to deal with the Evil Demon, initially didn’t set off and came up with various excuses.

But soon he learned that Li Fei and ‘Sword Immortal’ Ning Qingman had joined forces to repel two major Evil Demons!

So Wang Rui quickly set off, flying with the wind, taking a few days to arrive at Tan City and meet Li Fei.

“The array can be set up by today, and next, we just need to have the citizens of Tan City gradually enter the array for purification.”

Wang Rui said to Li Fei.

Although the Ming River Ancestor had left, his Yin Soul possession left traces of Yin Sha Qi on thousands of people in Tan City.

If this qi is not removed, the strong and healthy might just fall seriously ill, damaging their Primordial Qi.

The weak and sickly might suffer long-term consequences, and in severe cases, it could even be life-threatening!

So Li Fei had the Righteous Law Department of East Ping Province come up with a plan to build a Big Array and conduct a ‘Body Purification Ceremony’ for thousands in Tan City.

“Thank you, True Master Wang.”

Li Fei clasped his fists to Wang Rui.

Wang Rui’s face lit up with a smile, and he quickly returned the gesture: “Marquis Jing’an, you’re too kind.”

He flew hundreds of kilometers using True Power just to meet Li Fei and establish a connection.

Few others could have made the Righteous Law Department bring out so many rare materials to set up a Big Array.

Let alone having the chief True Master, a dignified courtier, condescend to personally lead the ceremony.

After chatting with Wang Rui for a while, Li Fei left the square and encountered Ning Qingman again.

However, this Sword Immortal didn’t ask him to turn into a sword again but said seriously:

“Thank you.”

Li Fei looked at her: “Hmm?”

Ning Qingman looked at the altar in the square: “I know if it weren’t for you, the officials in East Ping Province wouldn’t be so diligent in saving people.”

Li Fei remained silent.

He knew very well that for Wang Rui and others, human lives held value.

Even if thousands of Tan City citizens died, it wouldn’t be as valuable as the rare materials the Righteous Law Department brought out this time.

So if Li Fei hadn’t intervened in this incident, it’s very likely no one would have cared for those thousands in Tan City.

Having a Jianghu wanderer thank him for something the court should have been responsible for left Li Fei with mixed feelings.

Back in Xing City, he already knew there were many problems within the Da Lan Dynasty.

But back then, he was just a small Martial Artist at the Body Breaking Stage and could change nothing, only kill a few corrupt officials for momentary pleasure.

But now, whether in personal strength or in power and status, he stood at the pinnacle of the Da Lan Dynasty!

He could already influence the Great Trend of the world!

Thinking of this, Li Fei made a decision in his heart.

He then stayed in East Ping Province for ten days.

During these ten days, besides overseeing the Righteous Law Department conducting the Body Purification Ceremony in Tan City, he also secretly visited major cities in East Ping Province—

In the capacity of the Blue Patrol Envoy.

In just ten days, two Court Officials, five Imperial Officials, and twenty-seven Subordinate Officials in East Ping Province were taken away by inspectors!

For a while, the entire officialdom of East Ping Province was in turmoil.

Since Li Fei took on the role of Blue Patrol Envoy, aside from the initial ‘battle with the Lu Family,’ this was his first true execution of the Blue Patrol Envoy duties—

To inspect the world on behalf of the Emperor, sweeping away corruption in the bureaucracy!

But Li Fei could only stay in East Ping Province for ten days, as the delegation from the Seven Western Countries was about to arrive in Lanling City.

He, as the person in charge, had to return.

Before leaving, Li Fei, as the Blue Patrol Envoy, ordered the inspection departments in other provinces: all provinces should lead a self-examination of each prefecture and city, with the results reported to him.

Although Li Fei knew that this self-examination could at best serve as a deterrent and couldn’t fundamentally solve the problem.

But even if it only reduced the ‘silt’ accumulated over five hundred years in the Great Lan by a fraction, it would be enough to change the fate of many of the common people.

“Ning Sword Immortal, until we meet again.”

In Tan City, Li Fei clasped his hands in farewell to Ning Qingman.

Today, he was departing for Lanling City; Ning Qingman wouldn’t be traveling with him and would continue to investigate Li Ming’s whereabouts.

“Until we meet again.”

Ning Qingman also clasped her hands to Li Fei, looking somewhat regretful.

Eventually, she still couldn’t make Li Fei transform into a sword for her to play with one more time…

Li Fei piloted the flying boat, rising into the sky.

Ning Qingman watched him disappear into the horizon before retracting her gaze and unfolding her left hand.

In her palm was a nearly transparent thread.

A single thread across countless mountains and rivers.

….

In the year of Hong Guang 49, on November 16.

A caravan was making its way toward Lanling City.

This convoy consisted of more than a dozen cars, each being an extended model never before seen in the Great Lan Dynasty.
