Wuxia: Slay enemies to boost your cultivation; my power is boundless!

'What superb kung fu!'

There were also some discerning people on the ship. After witnessing Xiao Bieli's skill, they abandoned the idea of ​​kicking the beggar off the ship. When traveling, helping others is helping yourself. If you stick your neck out, you might encounter some powerful figure and lose your life without even knowing how.

"Very well, young hero, please!"

The boatman's face was full of smiles as he accepted the money.

"Sail, sail!"

As the boatmen struggled to row the boat off the dock, it drifted downstream.

"The setting sun shines over the long river!"

Xiao Bieli stood on the deck, watching the setting sun turn red, and spoke softly.

Once he leaves Sanshui County and keeps a low profile, it will be difficult for the Xiao family to find him again.

……

"Did you hear that?"

"A major event happened in the neighboring Lechun County a couple of days ago!"

Voices reached Xiao Bieli's ears; as the sun set, a group of people were chatting idly on the deck.

"What's the big deal?"

"Old Liu, I know you've traveled all over the country and have many connections, so stop keeping me in suspense!"

"That's right, that's right, hurry up and tell me. If it's really big news, I'll share a bowl of my best Shaoxing wine with you."

A group of people surrounded a burly man in short clothes. The man's temples were bulging and his eyes were bright and piercing. He was clearly a skilled fighter.

Old Liu also enjoyed being surrounded by people and laughed:

"Everyone knows you, Niu Sanpao, are stingy and only buy watered-down liquor. I won't drink that."

"I just arrived from Lechun County today... Yesterday, the Second Master Xiao of the Xiao family in Lechun County died!"

Wow!

There was an uproar all around,

"Second Master Xiao is a seventh-rank expert, and the eldest master of the Xiao family is a peak seventh-rank expert. Even the Changhe Gang of Lechun County wouldn't dare to kill Second Master Xiao, would they?"

"That's right, that's right. There are only a handful of seventh-rank experts in the entire Yuechun County. Could it be that an outside expert killed Master Xiao?"

"..."

Opinions vary.

A seventh-rank expert here is already a force to be reckoned with in the entire county.

Old Liu shook his head:

"You don't know this, but the one who killed Master Xiao was none other than Master Xiao's only son, Xiao Bieli!"

"I heard that yesterday, Xiao Bieli attempted to have an affair with the eldest son's wife, but was caught in the act by the second master of the Xiao family. In a fit of rage, the second master wanted to hand Xiao Bieli over to the head of the Xiao family for punishment. Xiao Bieli knew that he would surely die if he went to the head of the Xiao family, so he ambushed the second master of the Xiao family on the way..."

"Even now, the Xiao family and the Changhe Gang are still searching for Xiao Bieli's whereabouts on Luoxia Mountain!"

The crowd was indignant.

"Damn it, that Xiao Bieli is a beast! He actually laid a hand on his sister-in-law!"

"If he can lay a hand on his own father, what is his sister-in-law?"

"However, what does the Xiao family's troubles have to do with the Changhe Gang? Why are they looking for Xiao Bieli?"

"I don't know, but right now, the Changhe Gang in Linshui County is looking for Xiao Bieli's whereabouts."

"..."

"Sigh, these are truly turbulent times!"

"The day before yesterday, Wang Dashan, a philanthropist in our county, colluded with the Twelve Linked Forts and was wiped out by the Changhe Gang. Only Young Master Wang survived. The Changhe Gang is still searching for Young Master Wang. Now, there is another Xiao Bieli in Lechun County."

"Due to the conflict between the Sanjiang Alliance and the Twelve Linked Forts, fewer people are traveling by water these days, and some merchants are now afraid to come to our Sanshui County!"

……

Listening to the loud conversations of the people on deck, Xiao Bieli's face remained expressionless.

His father was, after all, the second most important person in the Xiao family. His sudden death meant the Xiao family would have to give an explanation. Xiao Fusheng would naturally not admit that he killed his own brother, so he had to take the blame.

What he didn't expect was that Xiao Fusheng would smear his eldest daughter-in-law's reputation. In this day and age, such rumors are enough to make a woman lose her head for the rest of her life.

Moreover, this news didn't even mention Lin Hai, an outer disciple of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, or why the Changhe Gang was getting involved.

The Changhe Gang is much stronger than the Xiao family, and its leader, "Seven-Finger Divine Eagle" Sun Changhe, is a sixth-rank expert.

The Changhe Gang is influential not only in Lechun County, but also in the entire Sanshui Prefecture. The Sanjiang Alliance behind the Changhe Gang is the overlord of Sanshui Prefecture, and even the prefect has to give them some face.

"They've already killed the outer disciples of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, and I'm still worried about the Changhe Gang?"

Thinking of this,

Xiao Bieli couldn't help but shake his head. Now there were people in the Cangyuan Sword Sect who wanted him dead, so what was a Changhe Gang?

Moreover, when a person dies, their eggs fly to the sky. He now has the system panel, so as long as he doesn't die, the ones who should be afraid are his enemies.

……

The cabins of the large ship were booked by the group of people who had boarded before Xiao Bieli.

The leader was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe. He was slightly overweight, but exuded an air of shrewdness and competence.

"Have you figured out who that boy was?"

"Are they members of the Changhe Gang?"

Looking out the window at Xiao Bieli, who was sitting quietly in the corner of the deck listening to the loud discussions outside, Wang Tianfu asked a burly man in his forties beside him.

"Judging from the skill he displayed just now when he boarded the ship, he's at least a peak ninth-rank, or even an eighth-rank. His identity is definitely not simple," Deng Yong said, shaking his head.

“There are only three or four people at the peak of the ninth rank at such a young age in the entire Changhe Gang. I remember them all. That kid outside is definitely not one of them.”

“We had already sent our brothers out in three groups by land. They had already attracted most of the Changhe Gang’s attention, and those brothers all thought we were planning to leave from Luoxia Mountain. Even if they were captured, the Changhe Gang would only search for them in Luoxia Mountain.”

"Moreover, as soon as we leave Sanshui County, the heroes of the Twelve Linked Forts will come to our aid. At that time, even the Changhe Gang will be unable to do anything to us!"

Snapped!

Wang Tianfu slammed his hand on the table, his eyes filled with hatred:

"Damn the Changhe Gang!"

"If the Changhe Gang hadn't been pressing me relentlessly, trying to swallow up my Wang family, why would my father have taken the risk of cooperating with the Twelve Linked Forts?"

"I'll make sure the Changhe Gang pays a good beating someday!"

Hey!

Deng Yong sighed. It was good enough that he was alive. Even if he went to the Twelve Linked Forts, would the Twelve Linked Forts attack the Long River Gang because of his Wang family's grudge?

Moreover, the Changhe Gang is backed by the Sanjiang Alliance, a behemoth that dominates the entire Sanshui County. Even if the Twelve Linked Forts were to exert all their strength, they might not be able to take it down.

……

The sun hadn't completely set yet, but fog had already begun to rise over the river.

"The traveler's road lies beyond the green hills, the boat sails before the emerald waters."

"I hope they're not after me!"

Xiao Bieli's ears twitched slightly; he had already heard the sound of oars cutting through the water. He sighed softly. The scenery of Yuanjiang was originally extremely beautiful, but it seemed that someone wanted to disrupt this peaceful beauty.

He had already taken down the Hundred-Forged Blade and placed it beside him, his right hand already gripping the hilt.

"A speedboat is approaching... wait, there's a large ship behind it!"

"Look at that flag, it's a ship from the Changhe Gang!"

A cry of surprise was heard.

The Changhe Gang was quite famous in Sanshui County, and someone immediately recognized the flag on the large ship.

"found it!"

"Those ships we just saw weren't it, this must be it!"

"Surround them!"

"..."

At this moment, whistles sounded incessantly from all around.

Small boats began to surround their large ship.

On the small boat stood a group of burly members of the Long River Gang, who looked at the people on the boat with sneers on their faces.

Not far from the small boat, a large ship was sailing against the wind and waves, already more than a hundred meters away.

The boatman and the boatmen, already skilled at hiding in the corner of the boat, were trembling with fear.

"The Long River Gang...why are Long River Gang ships here?"

"It seems the Long River Gang is after our ship!"

Xiao Bieli's gaze swept over the people on the ship, finally settling on a group of people who had not shown themselves until now, who were emerging from the cabin. Their faces were pale, and some of them even needed to hold onto the ship to stand.

Xiao Bieli suddenly understood.

It seems the Changhe Gang's target is this group of people, not him!
