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

late at night.

Black Dragon Gang.

Inside the training room.

The two henchmen responsible for keeping an eye on Li Tianxing were kneeling in front of Zhang Zhengqi.

The two men looked tense, clearly afraid that their young leader would take his anger out on them...

Zhang Zhengqi stood in front of the two men with a cold expression.

"Is this what you did for me?"

"I gave you so much money, and this is all the useless trash you hired?"

"Young Master, please calm down! Young Master."

Those bandits have already deployed their strongest elite troops...

There were reportedly nine people.

They're all ruthless characters.

But we never expected that Li Tianxing would kill all nine of them by himself.

Two Black Dragon Gang underlings knelt on the ground, not daring to look Zhang Zhengqi in the eye.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

"Do those bandits know that these people were hired by my Black Dragon Gang?"

Zhang Zhengqi stroked the jade thumb ring on his palm, his tone icy.

"Don't worry, young master, those desperados only care about money, not people."

We did not reveal our identity as members of the Black Dragon Gang.

"That's good! If we don't deal with Li Tianxing this time, things will get complicated later."

It seems... I'll have to find another opportunity to kill him!

Zhang Zhengqi frowned.

Just then, a servant dressed as a page suddenly appeared outside the training room.

The servant said hurriedly:

"Young Master, something bad has happened! The police are here, it seems to be Commander Song leading the group."

Zhang Zhengqi squinted:

"What are the police doing here? Where's my dad?"

The servant said:

"The gang leader is attending a banquet at the Chen family's residence tonight and is not in the gang."

Zhang Zhengqi waved his hand:

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After informing the servants to leave...

Zhang Zhengqi looked coldly at the two trusted confidants kneeling before him.

"Is this what you did for me? Didn't you say you hadn't been exposed?"

The two men's teeth chattered, and they stammered, unsure how to explain.

I really didn't reveal the Black Dragon Gang's identity!

Does anyone know why the police came over?

"So it seems only the dead won't betray me, right?"

Zhang Zhengqi exuded a murderous aura.

He suddenly stretched out both palms and slapped them onto the temples of the two men.

"Click—"

Zhang Zhengqi smashed the skulls of both men.

The two bodies lost all life, slowly leaning against each other and collapsing to the ground.

A hint of ferocity flashed in Zhang Zhengqi's eyes.

"Damn it, why are all my men so stupid?"

Zhang Zhengqi grabbed the two men by their calves and threw them directly into the alchemy furnace inside the house.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands and strode out.

Only the fire inside the furnace burned even brighter...

……

Zhang Zhengqi walked out of the training room and into the Black Dragon Gang's main hall.

At this time, the Black Dragon Gang's main hall was ransacked by the patrol police.

Not only that, but even the house they lived in was searched by patrol officers.

Meanwhile, Song Mao was standing inside the Black Dragon Gang's main hall, carefully observing the situation inside.

Zhang Zhengqi looked around but did not see Li Tianxing.

He approached Song Mao and began to question him:

"Commander Song, it's the middle of the night, and you've brought men to my Black Dragon Gang."

What do you mean by that...?

Song Mao calmly replied:

"It's just a routine matter, please don't take offense, Young Master."

Zhang Zhengqi's face was cold:

"What official business? I heard that the police have been investigating the Chapudu Church recently."

Do you really think that my massive Black Dragon Gang needs to rely on the Pudu Sect for development?

Song Mao lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly:

"Young Master, please calm down. As I said, it's just a routine matter."

It wasn't just your Black Dragon Gang that was investigated.

Even the Song and Chen families were targeted by our police department.

This is the county magistrate's intention; we have already spoken with him.

If you have any objections, don't tell me, go ask our section chief, Section Chief Feng.

Upon hearing Feng Lin's name, Zhang Zhengqi calmed down.

After all, Feng Lin's background was something that the Black Dragon Gang couldn't afford to offend.

"snort!"

Zhang Zhengqi snorted coldly and said nothing more.

He simply sat in the chair and waited for the police to finish their investigation.

Is it just a routine matter?

It seems the police department is unaware that the Purdue Church's stronghold is located on the Qinghe River.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to my house to investigate.

It seems they don't know the secret of the Puru Church and me...

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhengqi's tense nerves gradually began to relax...

……

On the Qinghe River.

Deep water area.

A small fishing boat is rowing on the river...

We're about to arrive at Soul-Stirring Bay!

This small fishing boat was much larger than Li Tianxing's small sampan.

There were three people standing on the boat, one of whom was Li Tianxing.

He was accompanied by two plainclothes police officers.

However, both of them were Song Mao's confidants and were sent to follow Li Tianxing.

One of them asked, puzzled:

"Brother Xing, why did you let Commander Song lead a team to investigate the Black Dragon Gang?"

Instead of having them investigate with us.

"With more people involved, wouldn't it be easier to investigate?"

Li Tianxing shook his head and said:

"That would increase the likelihood of exposure."

Let's have Brother Mao distract them first.

That way, he won't be thinking about how to move the Purus Church to a different location.

Another person spoke up and asked:

"Brother Xing, are you sure your attack and the Pudu Cult are connected to the Black Dragon Gang?"

Li Tianxing looked at the vast Qinghe River and said:

"Regardless of whether the Pudu sect and the Black Dragon gang are related."

I can confirm that the stronghold of the Purusa Church is located on this Qinghe River.

Once the Puru Church members are captured.

Whether the Black Dragon Gang is connected to them or not will naturally come to light, won't it?

"But how are we supposed to find it on this vast Qinghe River?"

A person was being blown by the cold wind, and their voice started to tremble.

Li Tianxing calmly said:

"Aren't we at Soul-Slaying Bay?"

"Don't rush, let's drive a little further in and see."

In fact, Li Tianxing had initially considered how to find the Pudu Church's ship.

He learned from Zhang Li that the Pudu Church's boat had been attacked by a creature suspected to be a river god.

But he asked the fishermen at the fish market.

Have you seen any lone or unusual cargo ships on the Qinghe River?

They all said they didn't see it.

Fishermen operate over a wide area.

Both deep and shallow waters are covered by fishermen.

However, due to the cold weather and the danger, almost no one goes to Danghun Bay.

The best place for this cargo ship to hide must be Danghun Bay deep in the Qinghe River!

Thinking of Soul-Swallowing Bay, Li Tianxing was still a little scared.

He thought to himself silently...

Could the Pudu Sect really be hiding a demonic beast?

If I sense anything amiss, I'll immediately take everyone and leave.

Anyway, the target has been identified, so we'll have the police bring people to clean it up when the time comes.

I don't know if it's my delusion.

I always felt that after absorbing the cat demon's soul...

They are extremely sensitive to the aura of demonic beasts.

Especially when Wu Xu was killed last time, which led to the appearance of the River God.

I could clearly feel that he was watching me from the bottom of the river!

"Brother Xing, we're almost at Soul-Swept Bay..."

"Look! There's a big ship over there!"

"Brother Xing, you were right! There really is a big ship hidden here!"

Li Tianxing came to his senses and looked ahead.

Under the moonlight, there was a dilapidated cargo ship.

It floats calmly on the surface of the water!
