Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

After Tu Yue's crushing defeat, the morale of the water ghosts of Shenyuan Village plummeted.

In contrast, the officers and soldiers on the island were in high spirits.

With Yi Huan guarding the lakeside, the water ghosts had no way to escape into the water and could only fight the soldiers.

Half an hour later.

Of the bandits from Shenyuan Village who landed on the island this time, all except Tu Yue, who was severely injured and escaped, were slaughtered.

Leave no one alive!

The corpses lay scattered on the beach, their crimson blood soaking through the sand and stones, spreading into the lake and creating large patches of blood.

The setting sun cast its last rays, and the blood-red light reflected off the ground, turning the world crimson.

After being congratulated and flattered by her subordinates, Yi Huan came to Li Nian and said:

"Inspector Li, you've broken through the Tendon Training stage?"

"Yes, Lord Chūjima."

Li Nian answered truthfully.

He knew that Yi Huan had been secretly observing him during his fight with Ge Xiong and must have noticed his breakthrough in the Tendon Training stage.

Yi Huan asked the question knowing the answer already, most likely because she didn't want to expose her intention to test them.

After all, if Yi Huan had acted sooner, Zong Zhengyu would not have been defeated and ultimately crippled.

If this matter gets back to the Yi family, Yi Huan will inevitably be punished!

Through this incident, he gained some understanding of Yi Huan.

This person is not talkative, calm and composed, and seems harmless, but he is extremely cunning and will definitely seek revenge.

Although he was not mature enough in dealing with Tu Yue and was allowed to escape by Tu Yue's tricks, overall, his merits outweighed his flaws.

No wonder he became close friends with Wu Changfeng, the man of destiny.

Just as Li Nian predicted.

While Zong Zhengyu and Ma Mianbiao were fighting, Yi Huan had already killed Li Hanhai and was hiding in the Stone Forest.

However, he was unaware that Tu Yue was present and wanted to use this opportunity to test his subordinates and see who was worthy of cultivation and who was difficult to develop.

The reason we didn't save Zong Zhengyu was because he was too arrogant and foolish; leaving him on the island would eventually drag him down with him.

Therefore, through Ma Mianbiao, Zong Zhengyu was crippled!

What Yi Huan didn't know was that Zong Zhengyu was dismissed because Ruan Hanzhou had shown favor to Li Nian...

"good!"

Yi Huan nodded in satisfaction.

Although there were many questions about Li Nian's growth rate, no questions were asked.

Martial arts encounters are taboo for martial artists!

His recent breakthroughs, unlocking hidden strength and comprehending the sword's edge, are surely a testament to his extraordinary destiny.

As she spoke, Yi Huan suddenly remembered something and said:

"Inspector Li, was it you who initiated the contact with me using the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Unity' disc?"

"Exactly."

Li Nian nodded and said truthfully:

"Today I was fishing in the lake when I met a brother named Wu Changfeng."

"It just so happens that his younger brother Wu Hong is my junior brother, so we chatted for a while. Afterwards, he gave me a 'Ten Thousand Miles of Unity' plate and said that the island lord also has a plate with a different design, and that we could contact him if needed."

"I never imagined you and Brother Wu had this kind of relationship."

Yi Huan seemed slightly surprised and said:

"His gift of the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Unity' plate shows that he considers you a brother."

"Brother Wu and I are comrades and close friends. You and he are brothers, so you are also my brother, Yi Huan."

"If you don't mind, we can call each other brothers in private from now on."

"Brother Yi!"

Li Nian clasped her hands in a fist salute.

Yi Huan nodded in satisfaction and clasped her hands in a fist salute, saying:

"Brother Li!"

Since we're brothers, and they discovered that I was hiding in the stone forest all along, wouldn't they report me to their master and leave Zong Zhengyu to die?

Li Nian certainly wouldn't.

Even without Wu Changfeng's connection, he wouldn't offend a master of internal energy who had mastered sword energy for the sake of trash like Zong Zhengyu!

After a brief chat, Yi Huan looked at the bandit corpses that had been cleared from the ground and said in a deep voice:

"The Shenyuan Village launched a major invasion this time, knowing all the ways to our island, and even knowing where I am in seclusion."

"It seems that besides Shi Kui, there are other spies in Shenyuan Village."

"If I hadn't broken through to the Dark Force level this morning, I would have inevitably fallen victim to Li Hanhai's wicked schemes."

"Two and a half years ago, it was this scoundrel Li Hanhai who sneaked onto the island, assassinated several of Lord Linchuan's most capable men, causing the army to collapse and ultimately suffer a crushing defeat!"

"The threat of hidden agents is like an anthill in a dam; they must be completely eradicated!"

Li Nian nodded in agreement.

A single leaf can herald autumn, a single message can determine the outcome.

The Importance of Intelligence!

Having dealt with the moles of Shenyuan Village on Canyue Island, Shenyuan Village will not easily invade the island, and his posting on the island will be less troublesome.

Yi Huan calmed herself down and said:

"Today we achieved a great victory over Shenyuan Village. In addition to Tu Yue, we annihilated more than 100 of Shenyuan Village's elite bandits, as well as three leaders at the Muscle Training level."

"Brother Li, while I was away, it was thanks to you killing Ge Xiong and calming the situation that the army's morale didn't collapse until I arrived."

"This is the greatest achievement!"

"Once the situation on Crescent Moon Island is stabilized, you and I will return to the Yi family to report and receive our reward!"

With the credit for her first contribution, Li Nian is even less likely to report it!

Li Nian understood Yi Huan's intention and readily accepted it, saying:

"Thank you very much, Brother Yi!"

...

Return to the island.

Shenyuan Village.

The village is nestled deep in the mountains of the island, surrounded by jagged rocks, making it a strategically important and easily defensible location.

The gate of the village was built of rough wood and huge stones, towering and heavy, with armed henchmen standing on the top of the wall, their eyes fierce.

The houses in the village were mostly built of earth, wood and thatch, scattered and messy, with muddy and potholed ground, and knives, guns and clubs could be seen everywhere, with looted goods piled up in the corners.

At the very back, there is a stone house carved into the mountainside.

This is the council hall of Shenyuan Village.

Inside the hall, several thick tallow torches burned, their flickering flames casting shifting shadows and creating a chaotic scene. Captured weapons, such as knives, spears, and halberds, hung on the walls, along with various brocades and spoils of the spoils.

On the left, in a grand chair, sat a refined and handsome man.

The man had a handsome face, clear and gentle features, a straight nose, and sharp lips. His plain long robe accentuated his slender and upright figure. His hair was tied up, giving him an elegant and refined appearance. He looked like a well-read scholar from a poor family, without a trace of fierceness or banditry.

At this moment, the man held a white jade wine cup in one hand and had a beautiful woman in palace attire in his arms.

The man sipped his wine elegantly while putting his hand inside his shirt, his movements unrestrained and rude.

Ah, um~

The woman's hair was disheveled, her hairpin was askew, her clothes were half-undone, and her delicate body trembled as if she were a fragile flower trapped in a cage. Her figure was weak and she was full of fear. Her eyes were filled with timidity, but she dared not show the slightest bit of sorrow, letting the man do whatever he wanted to her.

Therefore, she knew that the man was not as harmless as he appeared.

This person.

Nai Shenyuan Village's second-in-command—

Crazy in the waves, Su Yanci!

The last time they launched a major invasion of Crescent Moon Island, they killed Yi Linchuan's men!

There is a poem about Langlifeng that goes like this: "A white-faced scholar in a scholar's robe hides a fierce bone; a refined exterior conceals a madman."

Su Yanci had this nickname because of a peculiar habit—

He enjoys having wild sex with women in the water.

It's not a bathtub.

It's a thousand lakes!

No need to avoid suspicion, I'm happy to have many people around!

There are two people below him.

A man with a tall, straight figure, exuding a sharp aura, resembling a general in the army.

The other was a short, fat man dressed in brocade, who always had a smiling face like Maitreya Buddha.

The two are Jin Yuncao, the third leader of Shenyuan Village, also known as "General Jin," and Guo Shanggang, the fourth leader, also known as "Black Pot."

At that moment, a towering figure emerged from the back hall and walked straight to the large, black wooden tiger-skin chair in the center.

The beautiful woman in Lang Lifeng's arms was startled and dared not utter a sound.

Snapped!

Lang Lifeng lifted the beautiful woman's lower garment and casually slapped her snow-white skin, causing white waves to surge.

"Keep humming."
