And it's the most authentic original.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can memorize it and try practicing it yourself later. Some of my subordinates are ruthless, some are poisonous, some are dull; their temperaments are all somewhat extreme, and practicing this is looking for death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only you are someone who knows both how to persist and how to let go. Perhaps you can achieve something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly bowed to Li Miao to thank him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, enough, shut up. I don't have the time to listen to you sing Lotus Falling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao raised his hand to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm from the Shuntian Prefecture; I get a headache just hearing your Beijing street-thug talk. Your An family is in Quanzhou; where did you learn this Beijing accent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, we two are originally from Beijing, and later walked the Jianghu to the Quanzhou An family...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, you go ahead and learn, I'll look around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao let An Ziyang go learn the \"Wedding Clothes Divine Art\" and walked to a bookshelf, scanned left and right, pulled out a book with the most damaged spine, and opened it to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a notebook with two types of handwriting on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was wild, the other was delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao flipped through a few pages, but looked up at the original Wedding Clothes Divine Art on the stone wall, then looked down to flip through a few pages of the notebook, and compared them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu insects that can absorb realms, Wedding Clothes Divine Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The root is actually here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao pulled out a few more notebooks, compared the handwriting and tone on them, and roughly determined the identities of the owners of the two types of handwriting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Li Miao put down the notebooks and walked to Yang Lixuan's corpse, looking it up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing someone, then repairing the corpse, and sealing it in wax in his old nest. This Ji Tianrui, I don't know if he hated him or loved him, anyway, he was somewhat neurotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao had no intention of probing the dead person's thoughts, so he reached out into a claw and directly dug into the chest of Yang Lixuan's corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He groped inside for a moment and pulled his hand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his palm was Yang Lixuan's already withered heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this heart, densely grown hyperplastic flesh, and some already blackened tentacles. It was exactly the same as Zuo Lishan's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Miao finished looking, he casually threw the heart on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew roughly what Ji Tianrui wanted to tell him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty or sixty years ago, the Miao King Gu insect escaped the tomb and parasitized the first Miao King. At the same time, Yang Lixuan also came to the Miao territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purpose should also have been to explore the path above Heavenly Human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Yun Zelin, after perfecting the Heavenly Human realm, he also found that he couldn't advance an inch. So he had the idea of taking the external path to the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target Yang Lixuan chose was witchcraft and Gu arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he met the Miao King, they hit it off and studied the combination of martial arts and witchcraft and Gu arts here. The owners of the two types of notes in the notebook were Yang Lixuan and the first Miao King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, a few years later, the two obtained two results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Gu soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two was combining the Wedding Clothes Divine Art and witchcraft and Gu arts, a Gu insect that could absorb and store Heavenly Human realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Miao King didn't know martial arts, and the Miao territory didn't communicate with the Central Plains Jianghu; how could the Miao people have the inheritance of the Wedding Clothes Divine Art?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this Wedding Clothes Divine Art was originally a collection of the Ming Cult, brought to the Miao territory by Yang Lixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lixuan back then should have tried to plant Gu insects into other Heavenly Human experts like Yun Zelin, and then transplant them to himself, attempting to break through the Three-Way Integration realm. This heart was proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But obviously, he failed, or he was not satisfied with this \"incorrect\" realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the two combined the two results and created a final \"finished product.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Ji Tianrui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before in the Qilu region, the Gu insects in Zuo Lishan and Lan Lechuan's bodies were all food left by Ji Tianrui to store realms, just waiting to be taken when he needed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ji Tianrui's situation was even more miserable than theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he was born, he was Yang Lixuan's reserve food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inheriting Yang Lixuan's bloodline and having a body deliberately cultivated by the previous Miao King, he was naturally perfectly compatible with Yang Lixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also meant that the realms Ji Tianrui cultivated in the future could all be grafted onto Yang Lixuan without loss. And there wouldn't be the \"incorrect\" situation like Yun Zelin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Ji Tianrui had to kill Yang Lixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if Yang Lixuan didn't die, he would be the one to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after Yang Lixuan died, Ji Tianrui took over the Ming Cult and naturally colluded with the previous Miao King, which led to the Ming Cult rebellion fifteen years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen years ago, the previous Miao King and Ji Tianrui died, the current Miao King didn't know who she gave birth to Ji Tianrui with, and Ji Tianrui obtained the Ming Cult martial arts inheritance left by Yang Lixuan in the Miao territory, replacing Ji Tianrui as the leader of the Ming Cult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been like this until today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to here, all the questions before Ji Tianrui appeared had been answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was not clear what Ji Tianrui's purpose was in leading Li Miao to uncover the truth of the past, looking at her meaning, she clearly wanted to tell Li Miao everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the remaining questions, Li Miao estimated, would only be answered after meeting Ji Tianrui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, An Ziyang had also memorized the Wedding Clothes Divine Art, and after confirming in his heart that he had remembered it firmly, he turned to look at Li Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I'm done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm about the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the two jumped out of the cave, returned to the Pupa Room, and found Yongjie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yongjie had recovered his sanity; although his face was bloodless and his hands and feet were blue, he was already able to stand up and walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two Benefactors, thank you for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yongjie bowed down and bowed to the two seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang only declined, but Li Miao accepted Yongjie's bow without any politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some exchange, the three turned back and found the Great Shamans of the Twelve Branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao and Yongjie watched here, An Ziyang returned to the ground along the secret passage, and brought back the people of several major sects who were guarding outside the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao handed the people of the Twelve Branches to Lao Qifeng to deal with, then picked a few Great Shamans, knocked them out, and carried them in his hands, and the three turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving on the ground, the three stood in the mountain forest, looking at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, what should we do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the Wedding Clothes Divine Art, An Ziyang had already straightened out his position as a subordinate and began to take the initiative to ask about Li Miao's next plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yongjie bowed to Li Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Benefactor, I am seriously injured and have to suppress the Gu insect, and I have to go back to Shaolin to see Ling'er's situation, so I'm afraid I can't go to the Shuntian Prefecture to take revenge on the Ming Cult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, go ahead; I'll bring a few Ming Cult heads to you later. Living people are more important than dead people, no need to worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after saying goodbye, Yongjie turned and left, returning to Shaolin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao looked at An Ziyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, go to the Shuntian Prefecture to recognize people. Take these few Great Shamans to the Shuntian Prefecture, and keep these Miao King's notebooks too. After arriving at the Embroidered Uniform Guard, report my name and hand over the people and things to my foster daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ziyang nodded and agreed, then asked Li Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, aren't you going to the Shuntian Prefecture? Aren't the Ming Cult thieves going to the Shuntian Prefecture to make trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao, however, smiled coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have the habit of starting a fight after arriving at the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go to the Shuntian Prefecture first; I'll chase along the official road to see if I can intercept the Ming Cult people halfway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill as many as you can; we can't let them all into the Shuntian Prefecture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1530,"2026-06-17T21:41:15.265Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d5504d7b59aac7352164e1986e64aea838816bfc09ab979a393015c9471f636d","the-imperial-enforcer-with-an-eight-hour-workday-chapter-156","the-imperial-enforcer-with-an-eight-hour-workday-chapter-154",647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-imperial-hound-on-an-eight-hour-shift-cover.jpg"]
