Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

Wuhe Wharf.

The night sky was pitch black, as dark as ink.

"Young lady, our ship is over there."

A small figure points to a large boat swaying on the river. The night wind blows, and the river water ripples, constantly hitting the boat with a crisp, clear sound.

Lin Wan'er, accompanied by a group of family guards, stood outside the dock fence, wielding sharp blades.

She frowned as she looked at the still rocking ship, a strange light flashing in her eyes—a hint of relief and relaxation.

"Luckily, we arrived in time."

The Lin family has been in the shipping business for so many years, and Lin Wan'er has been on board ships before.

On the contrary, she has been quite attentive to the family's boat since her father's unexpected death.

Therefore, she could tell at a glance that the ship in front had a very deep draft, barely three inches below the hull, which meant that the cargo had not yet been transported away by Chen Shisheng.

Therefore, the Lin family still has a chance!

"Have people scatter around, load the trucks quickly, and drive away quietly. Go."

Lin Wan'er made a quick decision and immediately gave instructions to her subordinates.

Having managed the household for many years, she had long since developed a capable and efficient nature. She usually only pretended to be weak to lower the enemy's guard.

In retrospect, our initial plan was correct.

Chen Shisheng clearly hadn't expected the Lin family to have a martial artist like her, so he didn't have anyone remove the Fire Fish Fruit beforehand.

Even if we discover something is wrong later, it will be too late.

She capitalized on an information gap, turning it into a time advantage.

"However, this trick won't work anymore in the future."

Lin Wan'er sighed softly, her lips parted slightly, and she slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration.

She regretted revealing her strength too early, but now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to expose it.

Whoosh!

The river water still sloshed, pushing the whitish water.

Several servants obeyed the order and went off to call the laborers who had been summoned beforehand, preparing to board the ship and load the cargo.

"Be careful, everyone!"

A burly man hissed and grabbed a laborer who was making noise, signaling him not to cause any more disturbance.

If this gets noticed, the Lin family's reputation will be completely ruined.

As long as the goods are shipped out overnight, the Lin family's shipping reputation will remain, and may even rise to a higher level by breaking through the restrictions of waterways.

As for the trouble that followed, it was all the slander of the martial artist surnamed Chen.

How could his words possibly damage the reputation that the Lin family has built up over the years?

Moreover, with the young lady in charge at the dock, even if that person came, he could only watch helplessly as the goods were transported away; he couldn't do anything about it.

"Let's go, get on the boat!"

The burly man waved his hand, ordering his men to lay down wooden planks, and strode forward.

The servants and laborers followed closely behind.

"quick....!"

But as soon as he got closer, the burly man's previously composed expression changed instantly. He was speechless, unsure whether to speak or not.

On the deck, a group of people dressed in colorful, tattered, patched robes, like actors in a play, had their faces painted with thick, multicolored ink.

A group of people were muttering incoherently, seemingly chanting a strange incantation. They were moving rhythmically in a circle, each holding a cane made of various colored fabrics, which they kept waving.

Upon hearing the sound, the group immediately stopped what they were doing, and all eyes turned to the burly man.

As these people stopped moving, a small gap appeared in the enclosed space, allowing people to see what was inside.

Blood...

A lot of blood.

On the deck, the hands of this group of people were covered in dark red blood.

At this moment, a river breeze blew, carrying an extremely strong and pungent smell of blood, which made even the burly man frown.

In the very center, there was a man kneeling with his hands and feet bound, looking up at the sky.

The man is dead.

His eyes were hollow; they had been gouged out.

All that remained was a dark, empty void, as if endless darkness were churning within.

The burly man's face turned pale instantly. He moved his feet shakily and swallowed hard.

Two guards were crowding forward behind him, intending to ask what was wrong with this guy, why he had been blocking the way for so long without moving.

"What the hell is that?!"

The two walked quickly forward and immediately felt the unfriendly gaze of the man in colorful clothes, which felt like needles pricking their skin.

There was another group whose faint yet powerful energy surged like an invisible hand gripping their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

This group of people were all martial artists who had undergone blood transfusion or higher!

The two looked at each other, their faces bitter.

They seemed to have witnessed something they shouldn't have seen...

Swish!

At that moment, one of the people in colorful clothes suddenly moved.

The colorful clothes pierced the night sky, bringing with them a powerful gust of wind.

At the same time, all the people in colorful clothes set out together.

Even the hollowed-out corpse lay sprawled out eerily, its empty eyes staring straight at the group, a strange smile playing on its lips.

.......

Lin House.

The house was brightly lit, and all the servants and guards stood at attention, holding hooks and blades.

The area was surrounded by a large amount of poison netting, and various iron nails were scattered in the corners and on the ground.

Chen Shisheng landed quietly on the roof. With his strength, he didn't need to sneak in from the ground under the cover of darkness.

By simply controlling the fluctuations of Qi and blood and using a little leverage, one can climb onto the roof.

In addition, he also has the effect of [Lizard Shadow Poison Body], which allows him to hide at the very top of the roof, making his infiltration impossible for anyone to detect.

With a swift movement, Chen Shisheng evaded the patrolling guards, leaped through the window, and quietly landed inside the house. His movements were very light, without making a loud noise.

Although he had not yet mastered the Wind Chasing Kick he had acquired earlier, he was still able to quickly grasp some of the key techniques of qi and blood circulation thanks to his strong comprehension as a Bone Forging Martial Artist.

After a thorough search of the house, no one was found.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, creating a small ripple, and then he was in front of the wall he had seen earlier.

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Shisheng tightened the black cloth covering his face and gently pushed it away with both hands.

The wall in front of him seemed to be sensed and was pushed open by him.

really!

With another burst of force, Chen Shisheng opened the entire wall completely.

Inside was a dark tunnel with torches on both sides, but they were not lit. Looking inside, it was all pitch black and you couldn't see anything clearly.

I tested it briefly with a fire tong to confirm that there was air circulating inside.

Without further hesitation, Chen Shisheng slipped inside and then used something to wedge against the wall to avoid becoming trapped and cut off his escape route.

After rushing around inside for several breaths, the darkness gradually dissipated, and light began to shine in from the outside.

"They're really being cautious."

Chen Shisheng couldn't help but sigh.

If I hadn't hidden myself well enough and happened to catch a glimpse, I would never have discovered that someone else lived here.

After carefully observing and confirming that no one was outside the passage, Chen Shisheng cautiously bypassed the door panel blocking the way and took out the dagger from his waist.

Then he quietly jumped into the house, pressed his ear to the door, and listened carefully.

The old woman's cough could be faintly heard.

Outside, one could hear the footsteps and conversations of servants from time to time.

With a quick movement, Chen Shisheng hid in a dark corner of the room, out of the old woman's sight.

The old woman was packing her things, occasionally having her servants come in and carry them away.

Chen Shisheng waited for a while, making sure the old woman had finished tidying up and that no one else came in.

Swish!

He suddenly rushed forward, giving the old woman no time to react, and threw a handful of iron nails at her head.

At the same time, he slightly raised his wrist, switched to the Qilin Destiny, and his blood and qi surged instantly, making him as hot as the blazing sun.

"who....?!!!"

Aunt Liu was shocked and raised her hand to block.

He was stabbed hard in the arm by the dagger, staggered backward and fell hard to the ground.

"Someone come here!!"

During that brief pause, Aunt Liu immediately shouted loudly.

But the next second, Chen Shisheng's fist rapidly enlarged in her pupils.

boom! !

Aunt Liu took a solid punch and felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The energy and blood that had just been painstakingly gathered were scattered.

boom! !

boom! !

boom! ! !

Chen Shisheng took a step forward, closing the distance, and unleashed several heavy punches in succession.

Aunt Liu had no time to react as her neck was repeatedly struck; even with her bone-forging strength, she couldn't withstand it.

His head soon tilted to the side, a large amount of black blood gushed from his nostrils, and his eyes quickly lost their luster.

His limbs fell limply to the side, and he had completely stopped breathing.
