Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 149 Master Guo is really dead!
Afterwards, the monks in the temple were grateful and gave the street runner a pair of nuns.

The messenger quickly prepared a fast horse and sent him back to Wuqing County, a long journey.

These two sisters are not only stunningly beautiful, but each also possesses unique skills.

My sister has a special physique; she is also a type of Three-Refined Martial Body, even the Yin Yuan Cha Body. With the return of Yin, she is born with a mouthful of pure Yin Qi, which is nurtured in her Yellow Court.

However, this body corresponds to the true meaning, which caused the elder sister's divine essence to be too strong, which burdened her physical body, causing her to be absent-minded and unable to live past thirty.

And that younger sister also had some unusual qualities.

Zhao Guanghui took the two sisters in, and after weighing the pros and cons, he gave the younger sister, who died young, to Guo Guanfu in order to get closer to him and win him over.

As a result, Guo Guanfu accidentally discovered that this woman could actually soak dates!

The night before, three dried dates were inserted into my sister's private parts. After soaking overnight, they were taken out, cleaned, and given to the old man to eat the next morning. Surprisingly, this prolonged his life and brought him back to life!

This discovery overjoyed Guo Guanfu, who immediately sent it to Consul Jiang Hui's residence in Tongzhou City overnight.

Consul Jiang Hui was already in his eighties or nineties, nearing the end of his life. He was both lustful and afraid of death.

Isn't this a perfect solution, catering to their preferences?

Guo Guanfu cut out the beginning and end of these words, only mentioning the important parts.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized the truth and praised Master Guo for his discerning eye! If Zhao Guanghui knew, he would probably be kicking himself!
The sounds of silk and bamboo instruments were melodious and enchanting.

Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, a series of sharp shouts suddenly came from outside the hall—

"There are assassins!"

"Quickly, save the lady!"

"The thief went to the back courtyard!"

In an instant, the torches flickered wildly, and shadowy figures appeared everywhere.

Numerous guards, armed with torches, rushed towards the back of the compound, shouting as they did so.

By the dim moonlight and flickering firelight, a dark figure could be vaguely seen leaping and bounding like a ghost among the upturned eaves, deftly dodging arrows.

The faint screams of terror from the women could still be heard from afar.

Inside the hall, Guo Guanfu suddenly sat up straight, his drunkenness mostly gone, and a sense of unease swept through his heart.

The other merchants and gang leaders remained calm despite their alarm.

Today, the Guo residence is teeming with experts; in this hall alone, there are no fewer than three True Intent masters gathered.

These petty thieves are nothing to worry about.

"Gather all available personnel and go to apprehend the thief. The lady must be protected!"

"Bao Wenbin, you go and provide support as well. Zhuang Jun and Kong Ling, you two stay here and are not allowed to leave the hall. Protect me from the side!"

Guo Guanfu immediately issued orders, deliberately keeping the two strongest True Meaning masters by his side, fearing that they would be lured away from the mountain.

The group huddled in the brightly lit hall, hearing howling winds and sounds of fierce fighting coming from the direction of the back courtyard.

The sounds of clashing weapons were incessant.

A moment later, Bao Wenbin, dressed in rags and seriously injured, burst into the hall.

He stumbled along, running and whispering something weakly.
"The thieves are too strong, Master Guo, Master Guo, I'm afraid I can't handle them alone..."

Upon seeing his trusted and beloved general so severely wounded, Guo Guanfu was greatly alarmed. He instinctively took a few steps forward and urgently asked what was wrong.

"What kind of strength does the thief possess? How could you..."

Suddenly, Guo Guanfu's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and he realized something was wrong.

The man in front of me, Bao Wenbin, looks exactly like Bao Wenbin in every way, from appearance and demeanor.

But beneath the tattered clothes lay exposed skin covered in wounds.

Where is that otter fur coat?

That was a life-saving item that I specially gave to Bao Wenbin. Knowing his temperament, he would definitely keep it with him at all times, especially on this special occasion.

The Wenbin bag in front of you is fake!!

In a flash, Guo Guanfu immediately realized what was happening.

In the instant that thought flashed through his mind—

'Zheng~'

A flash of sword light pierced through the dim light of the room, leaving a glimmer of light in Guo Guanfu's eyes.

The light split apart, like thousands of sharp threads, and descended upon Guo Guanfu, the chilling sword energy piercing his skin painfully!

"not good!"

"Protect Master Guo!"

Several loud shouts rang out simultaneously!

Zhuang Jun and Kong Ling reacted extremely quickly, their blood and qi erupting like a raging torrent towards the sword light.

The other guards and his cronies immediately rushed forward.

Guo Guanfu was pulled back by someone. He touched his slightly cool forehead in confusion, and his fingertips touched a thin, slippery mark.

A faint line of scar appeared on his face.

It extends from top to bottom, from the forehead down to the jawline.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

That sword light could split him in two.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Bao Wenbin decisively turned around, drew his sword, and charged out of the hall, disappearing from sight.

"Kill him, kill him for me!"

"You audacious thief, you audacious thief, who is it? Who is it at all?"

Guo Guanfu's hand was still touching the bloodstains on his cheek, his face contorted with extreme fear and lingering dread, and his voice hoarse and shrill.

The others were also startled by this sight.

So fierce?
I wish I hadn't come to the banquet today.

They all covered their faces and fled. However, just as Zhuang Jun and Kong Ling, two experts of true intent, hesitated about whether to pursue and kill them...

The sky and the earth suddenly darkened!
All the candles and lamps in the hall went out completely at the same moment without any warning!
It wasn't that the light was blown out by the wind, but rather that it seemed as if all the 'light' was instantly swallowed up by some invisible force.

There was no light whatsoever; it was as if everyone was already beneath a deep, dark spring!

Immediately afterwards, from afar outside the hall, a wave of shrill and panicked cries surged forth:

"Master Guo is dead!"

"Waaaaah, Master Guo has been killed by thieves!"

"Quickly, let's divide the belongings and go our separate ways. That treasure is mine, don't you dare try to take it!"

Many maids and servants were stunned when they heard these words, finding it hard to believe.

But some sharp-eyed people spotted a figure coming out of the master's study, carrying valuable items such as famous paintings and sandalwood boxes.

Immediately, many people could no longer contain themselves. Even some of the guards wrapped their heads in cloth and rushed into the study!
The entire Guo residence was in complete chaos.

"How dare you! How dare you! I'm not dead yet!"

"Don't panic, listen to my orders!"

In the pitch black, Guo Guanfu heard the sounds of burning, killing, and smashing outside, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and roared furiously.

Then, a familiar and urgent voice pierced through the chaos.
"Master Guo, come with me quickly, these are the rioters from the Guolu Society!"

It was another true master, Zhuang Jun, who arrived.

He helped Guo Guanfu up and led him to the secret passage behind the screen in the hall.

Seeing this, Guo Guanfu felt somewhat relieved.

With two true masters protecting me, who can kill me?

The next instant, he felt a sharp pain in his back.

Immediately, a terrifying force, as powerful as a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, surged into his body!
The power was incredibly violent, instantly tearing apart his internal organs, severing his heart meridian, and collapsing his dantian!

The force continued unabated, almost blowing his entire body apart.

He felt all his strength drain away like a receding tide, and he turned around in disbelief.

All he could see was darkness; he couldn't even make out the killer's face.

Guo Guanfu died.

A few breaths later, the sky gradually brightened, and the candles were relit.

Zhuang Jun, Kong Ling, a group of guards who rushed over, and Shui San'er gathered in the hall, looking at the blood-soaked corpse lying on the ground like a pile of flesh.

From the clothing, the breath, and the remaining half of the facial features, it can be identified that the owner of this corpse is Guo Guanfu.

On the wall to the side, there was a line of large characters written with blood—

The murderers were the Guolu Society, Hong Wuye, and Bai Manlou.
Thus, the once bustling Guo residence instantly fell into a deathly silence.

"Master Guo is really dead!"

Zhuang Jun and Kong Ling exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with pain.

The Guo family is finished.

They...should also divide their belongings and find another way out.

……

It was midday, the autumn sun hung in the sky, but the sunlight offered little warmth.

Chen Shunan carried the fish cage and fishing rod, slowly swaying towards the bank of the Hei Cha River.

"Senior Chen, are you fishing in the Heicha River again?"

“Master Chen, I found a beige pearl while pearl diving yesterday. I came here to present it to you. Please take good care of my unfilial son, who is always diving into deep water.”

"Sir, let me row you today. I'm famous for my incredible speed with the oars!"

As soon as they arrived at the Heicha River, many Tanka people, mostly naked except for their underwear, came up to them, greeting them with expressions of awe and ingratiation.

Sancha River is where three rivers converge, eventually flowing into the mighty Grand Canal.

These three rivers are respectively called Heicha River, Qingcha River, and Dacha River.

The three tributaries have different landforms and areas, and there is a section of the Hei Cha River with clear, cold water that is particularly cold, producing a special kind of pearl called Tana pearl (Eastern pearl).

Depending on the luster and age, pearls from the East China Sea come in several colors, including white, beige, green, indigo, and black.

Not only is it highly beneficial for martial arts practitioners' training, but the rare black pearls are also embellishments on the winter court hats of empresses and empress dowagers, making them imperial items!
If you could harvest just one of those, you'd be set for life and could move into the county and become a wealthy man.

Even beige pearls are quite valuable.

Chen Shunan accepted the bribe with a calm expression, then kicked the guy who boasted that his boat was famously fast.

The faster the ship goes, the faster it sinks!

This is extremely unlucky!

When Chen Shunan reached the riverbank, he saw about fifty or sixty fishing boats lined up in a row, some tied to the shore and others swaying in the water.

On the boat, some of the boatmen were casting nets, some were sleeping with their heads resting on the stern, and some had a light rope tied around their waists, preparing to go into the water to collect pearls.

Some of the Tanka people, upon seeing Chen Shunan, gave him indifferent glances, even displaying undisguised indifference and resistance.
Clearly, they had little respect for this 'senior Chen' who came to protect them.

These Tanka people are tough guys who have been fighting against the wind and waves and battling against aquatic beasts for years, and they have long been used to being exploited by the fishmongers.

In the past, the fishmongers would weigh the fish and divide the spoils among themselves, squeezing every last drop of profit from them.

Now another "sticky pole office" has arrived in Wuqing. In their eyes, protection is a facade, and exploitation is the real goal.

It's nothing more than one gang driving away another group of helpers; the people have changed, but the protection money hasn't.

These people ignored Chen Shunan.

Chen Shunan naturally had no intention of proving himself to be a virtuous person or a good person.

I'm glad these tough nut to crack ignore me, making it easier for me to slack off.

As long as you don't make any mistakes, don't cause trouble for yourself, and complete your tasks smoothly, that's fine.
