asteland, but the plume of white vapor growing thicker from its nostrils filled Zhang Liyang's eyes with worry.Yesterday, I had been running all night long. Although I rested for half an hour, I have...Whew!

A transparent fishing line, like steel wire, wound around the neck of a figure.

"Spare me..."

grimace

Under the contraction of the fishing line, the thin line, like the sharpest blade, directly severed the figure's neck!

Under a look of terror, the words begging for mercy had just left his lips before they were cut short forever...

At this moment, the waters surrounding Zhang Liyang were once again stained red. Dozens of corpses bobbed on the surface.

Back on the boat, Zhang Liyang, almost spotless, continued to sit at the bow. With his fishing rod swinging, the blood on the line transformed into a red thread and flew into the river.

"Lao Lin, this is the

fewth wave"

Lin Weihua, who was cooking fish with Donglin Yayay on the side, looked up at Zhang Liyang, then continued to lower his head and cook the fish. "Since we boarded the ship, this is the eleventh wave, a total of ninety-seven people."

If you keep killing like that, all the fish in this river will get much fatter.

Without responding to Lin Weihua, Zhang Liyang closed his eyes slightly, "How many days until we reach the Imperial City"

There are still three days left.

"Three days," Zhang Liyang murmured silently in his heart, "it'll be soon."

Feeling Zhang Liyang's breath gradually weaken, Lin Weihua looked at Zhang Liyang again, his eyes full of shock.

Eleven waves, ninety-seven people. Those with lower cultivation levels ranged from the first to the sixth realm, while those with higher cultivation levels even reached the eighth pulse of the second realm.

But regardless of their cultivation level, these people were all personally sent to the bottom of the river by the young man before them to be fish food.

Looking at Zhang Liyang, who devoted himself to cultivation without wasting a moment, Lin Weihua couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "In the future martial world, I am afraid there will be another supreme being who will dominate everything."

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Weihua glanced at Donglin YaoYao beside him. Although Lin Weihua had said before that they were not on the same path as Zhang Liyang, how could someone so outstanding not attract attention

Noticing the light in Dong Lin Yaoyao's eyes as she looked at Zhang Liyang, Lin Weihua didn't know whether he should continue to stop her or let things be.

Donghuang Yaya's current situation isn't good, so Lin Weidong naturally wants Donghuang Yaya to get along with Zhang Liyang. This way, all the problems could be solved easily.

But Lin Weihua also understood one thing, the rise of a supreme being was inevitably built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Lin Weihua, who had watched Donglin Yao grow up since childhood, had a deep-seated desire in his heart not to let Donglin Yao have anything to do with Zhang Liyang.

Of course, if Lin Weihua knew Zhang Liyang was a eunuch, he'd probably be grinning from ear to ear. After all, who doesn't know that eunuchs are incapable of intimacy with women

By then, he'll be able to board Zhang Liyang's line without worrying about Dong Lin Yao Yao. Lin Wei Hua probably could sleep soundly with a smile on his face.

It's a pity there are no ifs.

Zhang Liyang continued to fish with a straight hook, trying to control his own power. Dong Lin Yaoyao kept stealing glances at Zhang Liyang while working, and Lin Weihua looked conflicted, not even noticing that his sleeve was on fire.

The following days were unexpectedly calm, it was unknown whether the pursuers had given up or were preparing for a final, fatal blow.

Not until a black line appeared at the horizon did Zhang Liyang reel in his fishing rod.

"Imperial City, Great Qian City!"

The capital of the Dagan Dynasty was Dagan City. Zhang Liyang, after being away for nearly half a year, returned here once again.

Six months apart, it feels like a lifetime has passed. I am no longer the same person I was.

As Zhang Liyang gazed upon the increasingly clear and magnificent imperial city, he felt as if he were in a dream.

But this feeling was soon interrupted by an unwelcome guest.

"Release the person. You gained nothing by bringing him in."

Not far from the dock, a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat stood on a ship.

On the contrary, if you take him into the city, you will only attract a formidable enemy that you cannot possibly defeat. Why bother

Looking at the sudden arrival, Zhang Liyang glanced at the imperial city and then at him, then smiled and said, "If I let him go, what's in it for me"

"Thirty thousand taels of gold! Plus a top-grade martial arts secret manual."

"Is that all"

As for Zhang Liyang's dissatisfaction, the newcomer seemed to have no complaints at all. "If you still want it, I can give you hundreds more spirit pills, and I can even get you an official position!"

"You know, with your status it's impossible to obtain an official position. But as long as you let him go, we can give you... I don't know if that's enough."

"Enough, too much!" Zhang Liyang burst into laughter, his laughter growing louder and louder. "You gave me so much that I thought you were just painting me a picture."

You wouldn't kill me after I give him to you, would you

You're overthinking things. We wouldn't go back on our word to someone like you.

"I suppose so." Zhang Liyang put away his smile and nodded, but then shook his head. "Too bad, I still can't agree to you."

"Why"

"There's no reason. I just don't want to complicate things," Zhang Liyang straightened his face and looked at the person opposite him. "I know He Houdé must be hiding something, but these things are unknown to me, and I don't want to know them."

“I only know that He Houde stepped into the path of evil cultivation, and using living people for cultivation goes against human morality and national law!”

Zhang Liyang isn't stupid. Since he caught He Houdé as a deviant cultivator, He Houdé's behavior has made Zhang Liyang somewhat suspicious.

When He Houde heard that he was from the Black Prison Manor, he actually showed fear. At first, Zhang Liyang thought it was due to the infamy or reputation of the Black Prison Manor.

But when Zhang Liyang later took He Houde to the imperial city, He Houde again showed no signs of worry and even had the mood to count how many Muxing Pills Zhang Liyang had taken.

After the assassination attempt, He Houdé fell silent once again. From Liangzhou City to the outskirts of the imperial city, he didn't leave his room for a single step during the entire journey. He remained utterly silent.

All signs point to He Houdé's affair being more than just becoming a heretic. There must be something else involved, which is why there have been so many assassination attempts along the way.

"Are you sure about this"

"OK!"

"Good," the person opposite nodded, then took a long look at Zhang Liyang before turning and leaving.

Until the ship arrived at the pier, Zhang Liyang hadn't seen anyone come to assassinate him. This also left Zhang Liyang with a surprised look on his face, was this last wave just like that

But no matter what, when Zhang Liyang stepped onto the dock, the people from Heiyu Mansion who had been waiting for a long time arrived in front of Zhang Liyang, and the leader was someone Zhang Liyang knew, it was the person he had met when he went to Feilong City.

Black Prison Mansion, Yue Changping.

"I have met Great Master Yue."

Yue Changping looked at the person in front of him, even though he already knew some information, he was still shocked. "Not bad, very good." be careful.""Your Highness, please rest assured, I will be careful!"Zhang Liyang brought a map into another room and then laid it out.This is a map of power distribution, created when Cai Ning was be...
