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

Li Nian took out the pearl, twirled it in her hands, and pondered over it.

He knew about the Tianhai Sect from the very first day he transmigrated and opened the intelligence database.

but.

He hadn't found a single clue about this force.

Li Nian felt helpless about this.

There is ample time.

Once our strength reaches a certain level, we will surely be able to unravel the mysteries of the Tianhai Sect!

Putting her thoughts aside, Li Nian focused her attention on the information regarding the "Azure Heavenly Water Pearl".

After a moment, he focused his gaze on the words "spiritual artifact".

"A magical artifact?"

"The level of the object?"

Having been involved in martial arts for so long, he had never heard of weapon levels. Most of the weapons were forged from various materials, and the materials were named according to the weapon category.

This shows that the pearl is extraordinary!

Li Nian lowered her gaze, and her eyes suddenly gleamed.

"Underwater, it's as if walking on flat ground, and as if it were daytime!"

"Wouldn't dragons roam freely underwater?"

He works on Crescent Moon Island, dealing with water. With this pearl in his possession, the entire Thousand Lakes is his domain!

If you encounter danger, you can escape by entering the lake!

With this pearl in hand, I can find an opportunity to sneak into the Thousand Lakes Cliff Cave near Shenyuan Village to examine the inheritance of the Tianhai Sect disciples...

Suppressing her excitement, Li Nian continued reading.

He was slightly disappointed when he saw that the Azure Heaven Water Pearl could be cultivated together with the precious technique of the "Silent Abyss Ice Wave Imperial Sea True Scripture".

Because he did not possess the "True Scripture of the Silent Abyss and the Ice Waves of the World".

Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be in the future!

He quickly regained his fighting spirit.

Life can't be perfect; some things have to be earned step by step with your own hands!

"The power of the water-based cultivation technique is quite impressive!"

A glint flashed in Li Nian's eyes again.

He had deeply felt the power of the two water-based techniques that Liu Tanqi had used with the help of this pearl.

Of all the martial arts techniques he is currently practicing, only the Thousand Water Fishing technique is related to water.

If one carries this bead to perform the Thousand Water Fishing technique, how much will its power increase?

I must try it when I have time!

"Next piece of intelligence!"

Li Nian turned her attention to the next piece of intelligence.

[Intelligence 2: Shenyuan Village already knew about you, so after learning that you were responsible for protecting the two young ladies of the Yi family when they left the manor, they sent Liu Tanqi there. Only then did Liu Tanqi feel at ease entrusting this matter to Lu Chong and his two subordinates.]

The person who sold your information to Shenyuan Village was Shi Kui, the patrol officer of the Canyue Island's elite squad. He sold your information to the Zhang family, and it was then passed on to Shenyuan Village.

Sure enough, their intelligence was betrayed!

Li Nian's brows furrowed.

When fighting Hu Sanniang and others, the opponents clearly knew that he was in the early stage of Blood Refinement and were very confident that they could defeat him.

He then suspected that these people knew his information.

He had long suspected that Shi Kui was untrustworthy, but he never expected that Shi Kui would betray his intelligence!

and.

It was through the Zhang family!

It is entirely reasonable for the various factions in Qianhu County to plant spies in each other's camps in order to check and balance each other.

but.

He never imagined that the Zhang family would collude with Shenyuan Village.

The water in Qianhu County was much deeper than he had imagined!

Neither the Zhang family nor Shenyuan Village are currently too large for him, but Shi Kui...

A chilling killing intent, sharp as a blade, flashed in Li Nian's eyes.

If he hadn't secretly improved his cultivation without Shi Kui finding out, Shenyuan Village would definitely have sent someone even stronger, and things would have been very different today!

and so.

Shi Kui must die!

Suppressing her murderous intent, Li Nian looked down.

"Next piece of intelligence!"

[Intelligence 3: The murder of Liu Tanqi has been discovered by Shenyuan Village. The chief of Shenyuan Village is furious and sends the third chief, "Tide Yama" Luo Yicheng, to investigate. However, the bodies of Liu Tanqi and the others have all been disposed of by Yi Jifeng, and Luo Yicheng returns empty-handed.]

Li Nian was not surprised that Shenyuan Village learned of the killing of Liu Tanqi and others.

Three hours had passed since he killed Liu Tanqi.

The intelligence just now indicated that Shenyuan Village was even connected to the Zhang family, and there must be many spies within the manor. It is normal that they learned of this matter so quickly and sent people to deal with it.

"Yi Jifeng really did help me clean up my mess."

Li Nian nodded in satisfaction.

The reason he didn't dispose of Liu Tanqi and the others' bodies was to test Yi Jifeng and the Yi family.

Yi Jifeng is the head of the Yi family's martial arts hall, and within the Yi family, he is second only to the county magistrate.

This person has been in the martial arts world for many years. The Yi family manages the government offices, and the clansmen are well aware of the procedures in government offices. They should understand the importance of cleaning up the mess.

If the Yi family truly values ​​its guest advisors and is genuinely at odds with Shenyuan Village, Yi Jifeng will surely handle the aftermath.

Conversely, this indicates that the Yi family's decision to eliminate the bandits was indecisive and had nothing to do with the death of the guest minister.

He will not continue to work for this family!

He is very satisfied with the current result.

"The Yi family is worth befriending!"

"Next piece of intelligence."

[Intelligence 4: After Cao Hongyuan and Bi Yichen disembarked, they originally planned to go home, but because they were quite angry about what happened on the way, yet they couldn't do anything about it, they went to a restaurant to drink and vent their frustrations. After drinking, their lust got the better of them, and the two decided to go to Yihong Brothel together.]

Unfortunately, this was the first time the two had ever hunted for women, and they were unaware of the dangers of the marketplace. On the street, they were easily lured into a dark alley by two burly, heavily made-up women. There, they were robbed of their money and all their belongings, including their clothes, by the women's companions, and were also severely beaten.

[The two were too ashamed to go home. They were drunk and exhausted from the long journey by car and boat. They fell fast asleep wrapped in straw in a dilapidated house in a dark alley.]

Looking at the information in the intelligence report, Li Nian smiled.

This Cao and the other two were even worse off than those involved in the honey trap.

At least with a honey trap, you can get caught in the act and gain some advantage.

These two idiots were robbed of everything, yet they didn't get a single penny.

That's incredibly stupid!

A disgrace to the镖客 (bodyguards/couriers)!

"It's good that he's asleep while drunk; it makes things easier to handle!"

A murderous glint flashed in Li Nian's eyes.

After quickly glancing at the usual intelligence reports, Li Nian blew out the candles in the room, changed her clothes, covered her face, and quietly left through the back window of the inn, heading towards the coordinates of Cao and Bi...

...

Liu Tanqi was gone for the second day.

After getting up, Li Nian headed towards the island in the south of the city to go home.

On the road, passersby were discussing the strange and unusual events of the previous night.

"Have you heard? Last night, two customers at the brothel couldn't pay their bills and were thrown into the latrine in the back alley and drowned!"

"You know nothing! The yamen officials went there first thing this morning. My brother-in-law's second aunt's younger brother's nephew's father works at the yamen. He said the two of them drowned in the latrine after getting drunk and urinating in it. They had been to a restaurant before!"

"What respectable person would go to urinate in that stinking alley behind the brothel? I bet they were trying to peep into the brothel's beauty, only to fall into a cesspool!"

"Which two idiots died?"

"Those weren't idiots; the dead were the young masters of the Cao and Bi families, promising young talents studying martial arts at the Zhaowu Academy in the prefecture!"

"Isn't that the kind of death stupid?"

Li Nian remained silent as she listened to the discussions among passersby on the street.

Do good deeds, but don't make a fuss about them.

As he was walking, two constables who had returned from the south of the city rushed over after seeing him.

"Are you Li Nian, Inspector Li of Crescent Moon Island?"

"It is I."

"The county magistrate has summoned you and ordered us to find you and bring you to the Yi family!"
