Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Time passed little by little.

After Zhang Wei finished cooking, he stood next to Li Tianxing.

He waited and waited for his sister to wake up.

"Zhang Li is finally waking up."

Li Tianxing saw Zhang Wei's sister, Zhang Li.

She frowned, revealing a look of fear.

Li Tianxing stepped forward, took Zhang Li's hand, and said softly:

"Zhang Li, don't be afraid, I'm your brother Tianxing. Everything is alright now."

Li Tianxing's hands were warm, as if dispelling the fear in Zhang Li's heart.

"Brother...and Brother Tianxing, you're here too!"

Zhang Li's nose suddenly twitched.

She smelled the aroma of meat and rice.

Li Tianxing noticed her subtle movements and said with a smile:

"Are you hungry? Let's eat first, and chat while we eat."

Zhang Wei quickly brought the food to the bed and began feeding his younger sister.

"What happened? Where did you come from?"

Seeing that the other party's emotions had calmed down, Li Tianxing finally spoke up and asked.

Zhang Li's hand trembled as she ate her rice, as if she had recalled something terrifying.

Her voice trembled as she said:

"After I joined the Purdue Church with my parents, I began to recruit followers in the surrounding villages."

Because the county has been cracking down on the Pudu sect recently, they dare not show their faces in the county.

Until later, after I drank the talisman water that someone else gave me…”

"Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Li Tianxing patted her head.

"Later, after I drank the talisman water, I fainted..."

When I woke up, I didn't know where I was; I was just in a secluded and dimly lit room.

But I could vaguely hear the sound of flowing water.

"The sound of flowing water? Is there a river nearby?"

Li Tianxing stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

Zhang Li took another bite of rice and continued:

"Not only that, the room was also filled with the smell of blood."

I wasn't the only one who was initially locked in the room.

There were also some people around my age.

However, soon there were fewer and fewer people in the room.

In the end, there weren't many left.

At this point, Zhang Li actually started to shed tears.

The number of people locked up is decreasing, and there is still a bloody smell inside.

Could these people have been murdered?

Li Tianxing was shocked because he couldn't understand what the purpose of the Pudu Sect was in doing this!

Li Tianxing didn't urge Zhang Li, but instead let her calm down.

Zhang Li paused for a moment, then continued:

"I don't know where those people who disappeared went."

I just happened to overhear someone talking about sacrifices or something like that.

Until today, they are taking me away...

Just then, the room suddenly started shaking violently, just like an earthquake!

Until the walls of the room were smashed open!

A hole has appeared!

Then water rushed into the room, and I realized that I wasn't on the ground.

It was inside a large ship!

It's a cargo ship!

Zhang Li was originally imprisoned inside the ship.

And this boat must be quite large; it must be on the Qinghe River, right?

No wonder Song Mao couldn't find the address of the Pudu Church no matter how hard he searched.

It floats on the river, and you, Song Mao, are turning Anlan County upside down.

I can't find the Purdue Church either...

Thinking of this, Li Tianxing was suddenly startled.

Was it damaged by something? Could it be the River God of Qinghe?

The being that could excite the River God of the Azure River so much is most likely a demon beast!

This monster is very likely a great tonic for the River God of Qinghe!

Then, thinking back to Zhang Li's use of terms like "sacrifice,"...

Li Tianxing became increasingly certain that there must be some kind of mysterious force behind the Pudu Cult.

The most likely explanation for this mysterious power is that it is a demon!

At this moment, Zhang Li continued:

"The whole ship was in chaos at the time."

Luckily, I can swim...

In addition, there were some broken wooden planks around me at the time.

I then relied on my swimming skills.

In addition to the buoyancy of the plank and the thrust of the water flow.

Only then could I manage to get back home!

Zhang Li had been fishing with Zhang Wei since she was a child.

Therefore, their swimming ability is undoubtedly excellent.

Coupled with their instinctive will to survive, they were able to return alive from Qinghe.

There's nothing strange about it.

Li Tianxing then asked:

"Was the cargo ship that imprisoned you on the Qinghe River?"

"It should be on the Qinghe River; that cargo ship is quite large."

Zhang Li recalled.

Li Tianxing mentally sorted out the logic...

"The talismanic water used by the Pudu sect should originate from the water of the Qinghe River."

The cargo ship that imprisoned Zhang Li was on the Qinghe River.

It might look like an ordinary cargo ship, so no one noticed.

However, since there are people on board the cargo ship, it will definitely need to be resupplied.

To resupply, one must pass through Qinghe Wharf.

Qinghe Wharf and the Black Dragon Gang have a deep connection.

Then the Black Dragon Gang is most likely to have problems, or rather, Zhang Zhengqi is definitely problematic!

Otherwise, why would he have sent people to keep an eye on me?

And there's a strong possibility that a monster is lurking inside this sailboat...

The monster attracted the river god's attack.

This is what made it possible for Zhang Li to come back alive.

That must be the case, right?

Li Tianxing suddenly remembered the first time he used the Demon Soul Flowing Light to fight Wu Xu.

Wu Xu once said with surprise that he was a demon's accomplice, possessed by a cat demon.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that I think about it...

Wu Xu's understanding of demonic beasts might be deeper than he thought...

In addition, there was what he heard from the Black Dragon Gang's underlings.

Zhang Zhengqi and Wu Xu have improved their skills in the past six months.

This suggests that it must have been aided by some kind of heretical cultivation method.

Li Tianxing slowly exhaled and patted Zhang Li's head:

"Zhang Li, you've suffered."

Don't worry, now that you're back, just stay home.

Li Tianxing then turned to look at Zhang Wei:

"Zhang Wei, the information your sister provided this time was of great help to me."

You can take these two silver dollars first.

Don't make excuses; your sister is very weak right now and needs to eat something good.

Zhang Wei turned to look at his sister, but did not refuse Li Tianxing's offer.

"Thanks, Tianxing."

I definitely won't take this money for nothing; I will definitely pay it back!

"Don't be so polite with me. Didn't I just tell you I had something to discuss with you?"

Zhang Wei nodded emphatically:

"Okay, just tell me what's on your mind."

"If there's anything I, Zhang Wei, can help you with, just let me know."

Li Tianxing smiled slightly:

"I'm ready to do business with you!"

Don't you have your own fishing team?

You know, I have a knack for fishing.

However, I may not have much free time.

I've found some good fish spots, but I can't manage them all by myself, so I'd like to ask for your help!

Zhang Wei was stunned. This wasn't asking for his help at all; it was clearly Tianxing bringing him food!

Zhang Wei's tone was very excited:

"Tianxing, are you telling the truth?!"

"Yes, it's true."

I'll mark the fish spots for you, and you can just go and catch them.

As for the profit split, let's split it 50/50.

I'll only be responsible for finding the fish nests; catching and selling the fish will be handled by your team.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei felt his heart race and his breathing become rapid.

He quickly shook his head and said:

"No, no! A 50/50 split isn't right!"

As we fishermen all know, finding a fishing spot is the hardest part!

"You're willing to take care of me, how could I possibly go against my conscience and take more of your money, Tianxing!"

Li Tianxing pondered for two seconds:

"Alright, let's go with June 4th then."

Don't try to bargain with me, you still have to take care of your sister!

Besides, you can't fish for the rest of your life, right?

You still want to learn martial arts, and you also have your team.

From top to bottom, you have to spend money on everything, right?

June 4th!

Zhang Wei stood beside Li Tianxing, his eyes slightly red, and choked out:

"Thanks, Tianxing. I'll talk to our team about this."

Don't worry, I will absolutely not let you suffer any loss in terms of profit distribution.

Plus, with your influence, they all know.

Following you will only bring us benefits, not harm!

"From now on, my life belongs to you, Tianxing!"

Li Tianxing stood up and patted Zhang Wei on the back:

"Brother, your life isn't mine."

Your destiny is always in your own hands.

Take good care of your sister. I'm leaving.

If you need anything, come to my house or talk to Xiaoyuan!

Li Tianxing pushed open the door and left.

Zhang Wei was still staring blankly at Li Tianxing's departing figure.

Zhang Li touched her head, where Li Tianxing's body temperature still lingered.

She said:

"Brother, when did Brother Tianxing become so charismatic and handsome?"

"How about you help me set them up?"

Zhang Wei flicked his sister on the forehead:

"Just eat your meal. Your brother Tianxing is destined for great things."

And look how thin you are...

Look at Xiao Yuan again.

"Bro! You're so annoying!"

Zhang Li also looked down at herself.

He is indeed a bit thin...

Then he started eating angrily.
