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

Under the moonlight.

A cargo ship approximately 15 meters long and 6 meters wide.

It slowly appeared in front of Li Tianxing!

Li Tianxing looked at it carefully.

The cargo ship's hull... is a dark, uneven color of wood.

Below the waterline, there are one or two new wooden planks that are noticeably lighter in color.

This must be the new board that Zhang Li mentioned was replaced after the leak!

The ship was repaired so quickly; there must be a formidable person on board!

I wonder if there are any monsters on the ship?

And is the leader of the Purusa Church on this ship?

Without going inside and taking a closer look, it's impossible to investigate thoroughly...

After a brief moment of thought, Li Tianxing slowly said:

"Stop the boat, it's too dangerous ahead. You all wait for me here."

"You all just need to stay on the ship and provide support, ensuring your own safety."

The two said with some concern:

"Brother Xing, let's go with you, that way we can look out for each other."

"Yeah, Xing-ge, what if you suddenly encounter something while you're alone?"

Without hesitation, Li Tianxing gently jumped into the water:

"Don't worry, with my swimming skills..."

If I try to escape, they won't be able to catch me!

If you come with me, you might just be a burden.

After saying that, Li Tianxing dived directly into the river.

With a gentle push of his legs, he easily darted several meters forward.

And it was remarkably quiet, without making a splash while swimming!

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the two people's sight.

The two looked at each other, both staring blankly at one another.

"Brother Xing's swimming skills are amazing!"

"He's probably not a good swimmer..."

You could tell me he's the reincarnation of the Dragon King, and I'd believe you!

……

Li Tianxing swam downstream and quickly reached the cargo ship.

Li Tianxing was not in a hurry to board the ship.

Instead, it swam around the cargo ship underwater.

"I didn't sense any demonic beast aura. Could it be that I'm overthinking it?"

There are no demons or beasts within the Pudu Sect.

Let's get on the ship and take another look.

Li Tianxing jumped directly from underwater to the stern of the boat and hid in a corner there.

His movements were very light, and he made almost no sound, whether swimming in the water or jumping out of the water.

This is all thanks to his incredible swimming skills.

Li Tianxing had only been on the boat for a short while when two people walked towards him.

The two were dressed in black shorts.

He held up a kerosene lamp and muttered curses.

"What a bad day! The boat got a hole in it. I almost fell into the river."

"The few feed animals that escaped have probably drowned as well."

"It doesn't matter if the feed fodder dies, the key question is, where is the Holy Lord?"

"After the ship was rammed and punctured, the Holy Lord fled."

The aura that drove away the Holy Lord was truly terrifying...

This is troublesome, there is no Holy Lord.

Our strength will then be unable to improve.

Li Tianxing squatted at the stern of the boat, listening silently to the two men talking.

Holy Lord?

Could it be a demon?

Could it have been eaten by the river god...?

A feeling of sympathy welled up in Li Tianxing's heart.

He hoped that this so-called Holy Lord would not die, at least not after he had devoured his demon soul.

The two men walked closer and closer to Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing glanced at his palm; his fingernails had turned into sharp blades.

It gleamed coldly under the moonlight.

"Let's deal with those two small fry first."

Li Tianxing deliberately stomped on the floor.

"Squeak—"

The old floorboards made a grinding sound.

The two men exchanged a glance and simultaneously drew the short knives from their pockets.

The two cautiously crept forward.

Just as they were about to reach Li Tianxing's position.

A pair of slender hands with sharp blades emerged from the darkness and slashed across the necks of the two men.

soon……

The two men who were on patrol fell silent.

There was only one person dressed similarly in black shorts, carrying a kerosene lamp.

A young man who looked much younger and more handsome walked out.

Li Tianxing wrinkled his nose:

"These clothes smell awful! Don't they ever shower?"

Li Tianxing, disguised as a patrolman, strode into the depths of the ship's cabin.

In the corner where he had just been, only two cold corpses with their throats slit remained.

……

The cargo ship has three decks, but after the basement was smashed, a lot of water seeped in.

At this point, everything inside had been moved to the second floor.

That is, where Li Tianxing is now.

Li Tianxing arrived at a place that resembled a warehouse.

He carried a kerosene lamp and looked at the bottles of talismanic water in the cabin.

He picked up a bottle and sniffed it.

"This smell...it has a strange fragrance."

This is the best evidence of the crime.

As long as all the talisman water is destroyed.

Then they would lose even the most basic means of controlling their followers.

The core of the Pudu religion is this talismanic water.

With this, you can make others obey.

Because the talisman water is extremely deceptive and addictive.

"The next step is to find evidence of collusion between the Pudu Sect and the Black Dragon Gang."

Furthermore, who exactly is this so-called leader of the Pudu Church?

Could it be Zhang Zhengqi?

Just as Li Tianxing was examining the talisman water in his hand, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him.

The warehouse was extremely small, offering no space for Li Tianxing to hide, especially since he was holding a kerosene lamp, making him very conspicuous.

Li Tianxing turned around, holding a kerosene lamp, and steeled himself to look in the direction from which the footsteps were coming from.

Li Tianxing asked in a deep voice:

"Who is it? Coming to the warehouse in the middle of the night?"

The person who made the footsteps stopped abruptly upon hearing Li Tianxing's voice.

The man then started running outside.

Could it be that they escaped?

Let's arrest him first and gather some intelligence!

Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes and suddenly exerted force with his steps.

His entire body shot out of the door like an arrow released from a bow.

At the same time, he grabbed the man's neck.

Once outside, Li Tianxing could see clearly with the help of the moonlight.

This is actually a very young boy!

The child was pale and had purple lips.

He was very thin and his clothes were tattered.

It looks like he has suffered a lot of torment and pain.

Seeing that Li Tianxing had caught him, he immediately knelt down and said:

"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!"

Li Tianxing covered his mouth and dragged him back into the warehouse.

Li Tianxing put on a fierce expression and threatened:

"Don't make a sound, or I won't kill you."

But if you cause any trouble, don't blame me!

The little boy nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, not daring to utter another sound.

He was so frightened by Li Tianxing that his eyes welled up with tears, but he dared not cry out.

"Alright, stop crying."

What is your purpose in coming to the warehouse?

The little boy shook his head, too afraid to speak.

Li Tianxing patted the little boy's head, somewhat speechless:

"You can speak now."

The little boy then timidly said:

"Sir, I'm hungry. I just wanted to come out and find something to eat."

"Oh... you came out looking for food and ended up finding the room where the talisman water is stored?"

One more thing, I don't like children who lie.

Li Tianxing raised his hand again, making a gesture as if he wanted to slap him.

The little boy then obediently said:

"I'll talk, I'll talk! Please don't hit me, sir."

I actually came here to steal the talisman water; I want to practice my skills.

I saw that some of them became much stronger after drinking the talisman water.

I want to learn kung fu!

"Then we can defeat these bad guys and escape from here!"
