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

Li Nian didn't sleep; she lay in bed until dawn.

He guessed that Haoran Martial Arts School would come looking for trouble with him.

Although the An family lived in Qinyun Martial Arts School's territory, he wasn't sure if Tang Zhengxiong and his group would come over.

For the safety of my sister-in-law, niece, and myself, I must be cautious.

He needed to know the relevant information as soon as possible!

"Open the daily news!"

As soon as midnight struck, Li Nian opened the system.

A blue box suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

[Daily intelligence update has been implemented]

[Intelligence 1: Xiong Gang, Zhou Hu and others speculate that you were able to catch the treasure fish in order to have the money to join the Qinyun Martial Arts School, and that you were able to open the Blood Gate and enter the Blood Refining Realm by possessing a large number of treasure fish. They suspect that you know about the hidden treasure fish nest, which is why you were able to catch so many treasure fish.]

In order to obtain the treasure fish from you, Xiong Gang sent Zhou Hu to kidnap you. Zhou Hu contacted Gan Laicai of the Hai Sha Gang, planning to lead a group to kill your entire family at night and kidnap you.

[Zhou Hu, thinking himself clever, believed you still lived in Nanhu Bay. An hour and a half ago, he led his men to sneak into Zhang Daniu's house in Nanhu Bay. After discovering that he had been deceived, he killed Zhang Daniu's entire family in a fit of rage.]

Knowing Tang Zhengxiong and Xiong Gang's temperaments well, and fearing being killed in their anger, Zhou Hu temporarily stayed at Gan Laicai's house in the outer city, planning to leave Qianhu County early the next morning to seek refuge with his elder brother Zhou Long in the Hanshan Camp, and take revenge on you in the future.

[Zhou Hu deliberately sent Gan Laicai away to prevent his escape plan from being exposed.]

Zhou Hu's current location: No. 5, Third Street, Changhefang, Outer City of Dongcheng, Gan Laicai's residence

Gan Laicai's current location: Changhefang, Outer City, Abandoned House on Fifth Street

Looking at the information on the intelligence report, Li Nian's eyes narrowed.

As he expected, Xiong Gang and Zhou Hu, though seemingly reckless, acted with the shrewdness of江湖人 (jianghu people, people of the martial arts world), guessing that he had caught a treasure fish, which is why they joined the Qinyun Martial Arts School.

Although Xiong Gang and the others were wrong about him knocking on the Blood Gate, they did know the location where Bao Yu was hiding.

The system will alert you whenever a treasure fish is spotted nearby.

"The Zhang family deserved what they got, which saves me the trouble of doing it myself."

Seeing Zhang Daniu's family slaughtered, Li Nian felt no emotion whatsoever.

Zhang Daniu's family sent Zhang San to steal their grain in order to get him to join their scheme. If he hadn't traveled through time, the whole family would have starved to death.

Even if Zhou Hu doesn't kill Zhang Daniu's family, he will kill them when the time is right!

That kind of person deserved to die!

"This week, Zhou Hu wants to kill me. I absolutely cannot let him return to the mountains and become a threat!"

"Tang Zhengxiong and Xiong Gang are inner court disciples, so I can't touch them for the time being."

"Zhou Hu is just an outer disciple; he couldn't even break through the Blood Gate. Killing him is no problem!"

Li Nian's brows furrowed, and a cold killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Let's check the intelligence first."

Li Nian looked down.

Accurate intelligence is essential before taking action.

[Intelligence 2: Tang Zhengxiong traveled to Shayu Township in search of the Treasure Fish, but returned empty-handed. On the way, he received news that you had caught the Treasure Fish, sold it to Qinyun Martial Arts School, and used it to open the Blood Gate. He is rushing back and will arrive in Qianhu County tomorrow morning.]

It's okay if he hasn't come back.

Li Nian glanced at it and continued reading.

[Intelligence 3: The news of your breakthrough to the Blood Refining Realm by opening the Blood Gate has already spread among the major forces in the city, and many forces have already listed you as a key target for recruitment at the Appointment Conference in two days.]

Li Nian was not surprised.

Only a handful of martial artists enter the Blood Refining stage each year, and if even one does appear without a powerful background, they will inevitably be sought after.

[Intelligence 4: ...Beneath the flowerbed in the backyard of the Haoran Martial Arts School in the city lies a complete version of the "Haoran Fist Technique" at the Transformation Level]

[Intelligence 5: ...The Qianhu Cliff Cave contains the relics and inheritance of a direct disciple of the Tianhai Sect...]

After reading the intelligence report below, Li Nian closed the intelligence system.

According to the intelligence system, there is no danger of killing Zhou Hu.

There's no risk of our home being attacked tonight, so we can go and kill Zhou Hu without worry!

Without much thought, Li Nian put on ordinary clothes, took the waist token of the Qinyun Martial Arts School's inner courtyard, and carefully left home.

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), the city gates were locked.

It's already past midnight.

However, as long as you have the waist token of the Qinyun Martial Arts School's inner courtyard, you can go to the dock in the south of the city at any time and row a boat out of the city.

Li Nian had rowed into the city with his elder brother Li Zhi many times to sell fish, and he knew the waterways in the outer city of the east city like the back of his hand.

In just over half an hour, they rowed to the lake shore near Changhefang.

Directly ahead, two golden dots are flashing, representing the system's location coordinates for Zhou Hu and Gan Laicai.

"Gan Laicai is the closest; let's take care of Gan Laicai first!"

Li Nian secretly made plans.

Gan Laicai is a member of the Haisha Gang, which has close ties with the Haoran Martial Arts School and has the intention to kill him, so he must be within his hunting range.

He doesn't have the habit of letting pain fester and leave lasting effects; he believes that major illnesses need to be addressed and minor ailments need to be cured completely.

The thought crossed his mind, and his body disappeared into the wind and snow.

...

Changhefang, an abandoned residence.

Gan Laicai lay on the soft haystack, a fire burning in front of him, a few taels of silver in his hand, too excited to sleep.

"When Zhou Hu was starving, he wouldn't be picky about anything, he was even interested in dead people."

"If it weren't for his fetish, I wouldn't have been able to take those five taels of silver from that good-for-nothing man."

"With these five taels of silver, I can buy a Qi and Blood Pill. If I can break through to the Blood Refinement stage..."

Gan Laicai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He was once a disciple of Haoran Martial Arts School, but due to the high cost of tuition and his poor physical constitution, he was unable to sense the flow of qi and blood for a long time, so he left the school and infiltrated the Haisha Gang with the few skills he had learned there.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

He also wanted to break through the Blood Refinement stage and develop in a better place.

He knew in his heart that the Hai Sha Gang was just a small gang that did odd jobs for the Hao Ran Martial Arts School, and there was no way out for them.

Take recently, for example. Haoran Martial Arts School and the Zhang family broke off relations. Without the help of Haoran Martial Arts School, Haisha Gang was defeated by the newly emerged Giant Whale Gang, losing most of its territory and several skilled fighters.

After the Haoran Martial Arts School had a peaceful day with the Zhang family, upon learning of the Haisha Gang's predicament, not only did they not offer any assistance, but they also intensified the monthly rules.

They don't treat the Hai Sha Gang as one of their own.

There's no future in hanging out with this kind of gang.

"Li Nian, that peasant who only started learning martial arts at eighteen, was able to open the Blood Gate with Bao Yu's blood and qi. Why shouldn't I, Gan Laicai, do the same?"

Even if I can't break through, I have a plan.

"I'm just an insignificant thug in the Sand Sea Gang. Nobody cares about me. I can sneak into the south of the city anytime and kidnap Li Nian's sister-in-law and niece."

"Li Nian must know where the treasure fish are to be able to catch so many treasure fish."

"Once I get the treasure fish, I'll kill him."

"Speaking of which, Li Nian's sister-in-law is a top beauty in the surrounding area, hehe..."

Gan Laicai licked his lips, a lewd glint in his eyes.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but start singing a little tune:

"My beautiful wife is so alluring, I long to reach out and embrace her, to taste her sweetness. I'd be bold enough to gently bump into her, and if she doesn't resist at all, we'll be rolling around in bed tonight..."

At that moment, a figure merged with the shadow in front of the broken door.

In the darkness, the man's gaze was as cold as a knife.

Gan Laicai's whispers had all reached his ears.

"Indeed, eliminating the lingering problems was the right choice!"

The man's face darkened, and he made claws with his hands, his ten fingers like hooks.

With a twist of his foot, he suddenly soared out like an eagle.

The sudden commotion made Gan Laicai tremble and hurriedly get up.

"who!"

"The one who'll take your dog's life!"
