I'm Going Fishing

Xiang Tian left Immortal Academy. Although Qiu Changfeng repeatedly tried to dissuade him, Xiang Tian had made up his mind.

Now that he was disgraced, staying at the academy would only cause trouble for Qiu Changfeng. The best way to solve problems was to eliminate them.

As for Ning Rong and Sinan Yao, they had already been picked up by their respective families. Qiu Changfeng didn't say anything, and they didn't need Immortal Academy to make any pronouncements. All the blame pointed to one person.

At the Riyao Technology building, everyone was staring intently at the screens in front of them, which were analyzing rows of data extracted from Sinan Yao's Divine Armor.

They possessed information and data on almost all Divine Armor within the Nine Heavens, and they were comparing them one by one.

One…

Two…

The final result was unbelievable. The data for Xiang Tian's Divine Armor was remarkably similar to that of Gu You's Divine Armor from Black Abyss!

This meant that the Divine Armor was very likely a modification of Gu You's Divine Armor. This discovery threw the entire Riyao organization into chaos.

No wonder Black Abyss had suddenly withdrawn its army a few days ago and chosen to avoid conflict. It turned out there was such a significant operation hidden within.

In the Jade Pool Immortal Realm, Qu Ying looked at her crying granddaughter with immense heartache. She then began to curse loudly, "Chang Ning, you old scoundrel, look at what you've brought here. An old scoundrel and a young scoundrel, what a pair!"

"Don't worry, Rong'er. Grandma won't let that brat off. I will definitely capture him and skin him alive in front of you!"

Whether it was Black Abyss, the Ding Family, Riyao, or Jade Pool, they all now targeted Xiang Tian and began frantically gathering intelligence on him.

Xiang Tian was walking on a sparsely populated mountain path. The terrain wasn't steep, but the vegetation was dense, making it a perfect place for murder and robbery.

However, he wasn't here for murder and robbery. He was here to fish, waiting to see which fish would swim fastest to get to him first.

Finally, Xiang Tian stopped. He put Little Huang, who was in his arms, into the Beast Taming Bracelet. He stood there silently, quietly.

"Hahahaha~"

Loud laughter echoed around him.

"Good kid, we brothers are striking it rich today. Look how valuable this guy is!"

Four people emerged from four directions. Their appearances and demeanors perfectly fit the description of villains. One was so fat he looked like a ball, and another was so thin he stood like a monkey.

Xiang Tian was very curious how such a bizarre group of four had come together.

"We are the Silver Mountain Four Freaks. Kid, tell us, do you want to suffer a little more physical pain, or a little less?"

One of the thin men pointed the Serpent Blade in his hand at Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian immediately raised his hands: "I don't want to suffer any physical pain at all. You can go ahead and do what you need to do."

Silver Mountain Four Freaks: ?

One of the chubby ones chuckled, "Big brother, he's scared of us. I'll go cuff him."

He then took out a shackle-like device and prepared to walk towards Xiang Tian.

The thin man next to him jumped up and hit him hard on the forehead: "Are you stupid? Would he just stand there and let you cuff him? This is definitely a trick!"

The fourth one rubbed his forehead and realized, "That's right, big brother is still the smartest. Big brother, what should we do?"

The thin man looked at the other two and gritted his teeth: "Let's knock him out first, then cuff him. That way, there won't be any mistakes."

The three of them praised their big brother's intelligence.

Xiang Tian: ...

This was simply ridiculous. I think none of you are mentally sound.

Not wanting to waste time with them, Xiang Tian said to the simple-minded and foolish fourth member of the Silver Mountain Four: "Throw that shackle over here, I'll cuff myself!"

To his surprise, the stunned fool actually threw it over. Xiang Tian didn't hesitate and quickly cuffed himself. Immediately, a flash of light passed over him, and all his spiritual power was completely sealed.

"Hey, big brother, look at this guy, he's really stupid. He actually cuffed himself."

The fourth guy stepped forward and shoved Xiang Tian hard, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Yoho, big brother, we're rich! Turns out this guy is an idiot!"

The third guy, who hadn't spoken before, also chuckled. As for the second guy, he just kept saying "Yeah, yeah."

The leader of the Silver Mountain Four walked around Xiang Tian a few times, his beady eyes narrowing, and then suddenly produced a black hood and put it over Xiang Tian's head.

"Quick, quick, hurry and take him to the Ding Family. This is all money!"

The four of them lifted a crude Aerial Artifact and headed towards the Ding Family Immortal Mansion.

The four of them were nervous the whole way, constantly scanning their surroundings, afraid someone would jump out and snatch Xiang Tian away.

Fortunately, they were lucky and made it through safely. They had only glanced at the bounty and hadn't taken it too seriously. But by chance, they ran into Xiang Tian in this remote corner. This was fate, a gift from heaven!

The Ding Family Immortal Mansion was located within a mountain secret realm. In fact, as soon as the five of them approached, someone from the Ding Family had already noticed.

Behind a bluestone, two Ding Family guards appeared and shouted at the four people on the dilapidated Aerial Artifact: "Who goes there!"

The leader of the Silver Mountain Four chuckled, "We're here to collect the bounty. We've captured Xiang Tian."

The two guards exchanged glances and looked suspiciously at the four. Their attire was indeed too shabby, and their Aerial Artifact was still swaying precariously in mid-air. The four of them looked extremely sinister, showing no sign of being powerful figures. They were more likely to believe a sow could climb a tree than that these characters could capture Xiang Tian.

After all, in recent days, many people had tried to take advantage of the situation at the Ding Family using various methods, but they were all discovered and had their legs and feet broken before being thrown out.

The two guards naturally assumed these four were also such people.

Moreover, there wasn't even a shred of sincerity, and the guy in the middle had his head covered with a black cloth. Who were they trying to fool?

Facing the four, the two guards were already showing some impatience. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Don't even think about trying to take advantage of the situation. Don't blame me for not warning you. If you don't want to lose your hands or legs, go back the way you came."

"Heh heh, esteemed sirs, you mustn't disbelieve us. This really is Xiang Tian."

"That's right, that's right."

After speaking, the simple-minded fourth brother yanked off the hood, revealing Xiang Tian's face.

At this moment, he wore a blank expression, appearing completely unfazed.

The two guards took another look and compared them. He really did look like Xiang Tian.

"Alright, alright, come in with us."

There had been many disguised individuals before them. They dared not make decisions on their own and could only escort them back for the family head to decide.

Upon entering the Ding Family Immortal Mansion, the four brothers' eyes lit up. The tall buildings, the jade carvings, the lush greenery—good heavens, as expected of a prominent family.

The two guards, who had tolerated the four all the way, arranged them in the main hall and then went to report.

Soon, Ding Chongshan arrived. He looked exhausted. He had heard that Xiang Tian had offended Ning Rong and fled the academy a few days ago. He had then issued a bounty order, and ever since, people had been claiming to have captured Xiang Tian every day, acting like pigs driven by the desire for the bounty.

However, the moment he entered the hall, he froze.

That person with shackles on his hands, that contemptuous gaze—it matched his impression of Xiang Tian by nearly eighty percent!
