The fisherman was overjoyed as he picked up a bamboo basket from the ground and carefully placed the yellow-lipped fish in it. He then carefully sealed the opening to ensure that the fish wouldn't run away. Only then did he remember someone beside him asking this question. He picked up the bamboo basket and quickly packed up the fishing equipment. As he packed, he said to Jing Ke, "I believe you, an outsider, do not know the value of this fish. I am in a good mood today, so I can't help but tell you this: this fish is called Money, and is an extremely rare and precious item in the sea. Its whole body is made of precious herbs, and it can nourish the Qi and replenish the blood, prolong life, and is the most precious treasure in the sea."

Hearing the fisherman's words, Jing Ke paused for a moment in realization, muttering to himself, "No wonder, then I must congratulate the fisherman." As he spoke, he clasped his fists in congratulation.

The fisherman was overjoyed at the treasure and was naturally overjoyed. He carefully looked at the money in the bamboo basket, proudly picked up the bamboo basket, and prepared to leave.

"Fishermen, please stay put. This junior has a question or two to ask. I hope the fisherman can give me some pointers." Just as the fisherman was about to leave, he suddenly heard Jing Ke clasping his hands behind him, seeing him so courteous, he casually replied, "What's the matter, tell me."

"The fishermen that have lived here for a long time must know every single blade of grass and every tree within a hundred miles. Do they know if there is a place called 'Listening Tide Pavilion'?" Jing Ke's words were filled with praise, hoping that the fisherman would understand.

Hearing Jing Ke's question, that fisherman's originally complacent expression suddenly became serious, and he coldly said, "What are you going to that place for?"

When Jing Ke heard that fisherman's words, he was immediately overjoyed in his heart, and hastily asked, "Then senior, do you know of this place?"

The fisherman didn't even think before replying with a face as cold as frost, "I don't know." With that, he picked up the bamboo basket and left without looking back.

The fisherman obviously knew about the information related to the Listening Tide Pavilion, but he deliberately pretended that he didn't know anything. This really puzzled Jing Ke. He originally wanted to go up and stop them, but he did not know what to say. At this moment, he heard Gong Luoran chuckle, her laughter was crisp and tactful, yet there was a hint of mockery in it. She then deliberately said loudly: "Everyone says that the people of the Eastern Le Region are not very capable, yet they are extremely arrogant, and they are really so."

When the fisherman heard her words, he suddenly stopped and turned to face Gong Zhuang and Rong, shouting: "Little girl, what nonsense are you spouting? I'd like to see what you can do. "

"I'm just a girl, of course I don't have much ability left, but my family's officials are ten times more capable than you," Gongsheng Rong replied to the fisherman frivolously.

When the fisherman heard this, it was obvious that the official next to her was the young master. He shouted directly at him, "Kid, what skills do you have? Show it to me!"

When Jing Ke heard Gong Zhuang Rong suddenly refer to him as an official, he couldn't help but blush, but he was actually a bit shy, but he was naturally able to understand the method she used to provoke him, thus he immediately put away his bashfulness and very respectfully replied to the fisherman, "But with Senior's guidance."

Jing Ke's voice had just fallen, but Gong Zhuang Rong immediately bent over and said to the fisherman: "Since old senior is a fisherman, then you must be able to catch fish, my official is very good at doing it, how about this, the two of you use the tools at your side and use them casually, if you catch too many fish, then you will win. We've agreed beforehand that if anyone loses, they must honestly help the other party do something that does not affect their moral integrity. However, if senior is afraid of losing, you can naturally admit defeat here and admit defeat. "

When the fisherman heard this, he thought to himself, "I've grown up by the seaside since I was young. I've long since mastered the art of fishing. I might as well try my best and defeat these two children's spirit. " Then, he raised his voice and said, "Heh heh, don't be so arrogant, little kids. I will make you two concede to me today!"

After the fisherman said this, he put down the bamboo basket, opened the fishing net in his hand, and walked in front of Jing Ke, his eyes glancing over as he proudly asked, "Kid, what kind of fishing gear do you use?"

"This junior only needs the longsword in his hand." Jing Ke raised the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, pulled it out, stared at the blade for a few seconds, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the fisherman laughed to himself, "This kid is really too tight. How can I catch a fish with just a sword? Even if he were to randomly stab two of them, there are only a handful. How can they be compared to my [Inescapable Net]? This time, he's definitely going to lose. " Therefore, he asked in a clear voice, "Do you want to go first, or should I?"

Jing Ke bowed and cupped his fists, "Senior, first."

"Alright, then I won't be polite!" Just like before, the vast sea was sparkling with ripples and bubbles. Taking advantage of this, the fisherman took out his "Inescapable Net", and the fishing net in his hand was like a compass that flew into the vast sea.

What he did not know was that, in addition to his skill at fishing, the fisherman was even more adept at watching fish. In this vast ocean, it seemed as if there were waves rolling about, but he did not know what exactly was under the water, and the fisherman who had observed the surface of the sea for a long time did not know where the shoal of fish was coming from. It was due to this net that he was able to cover a large group of fish under the water.

The fisherman flipped his hands and tightly held onto the fishing net rope. He used his elbow to hold on to the rope to prevent himself from breaking free. Then he slowly retracted the net until the surface of the water began to splash. He let out a loud roar and pulled with both of his hands. The fish were lifted out of the water like they were placed in a bag, and there were at least a few hundred of them. Anyone with weaker arms would not be able to move them.

When the fisherman saw that the fish had been caught in the net and were already on the verge of victory, he could not help but laugh out loud, feeling rather proud of himself. But he did not know that just as the fish surfaced, there was a sizzling sound, and the net suddenly cracked open, and the fish all struggled as if their lives depended on it to escape.

The Fisherman was extremely shocked, but before he could react, he heard the sound of wind coming from all directions. A human figure appeared out of nowhere, flying straight to the place where the shoal of fish had scattered, and a sword light slashed down from mid-air, causing the surface of the water to rumble. The shoal of fish that was trying to flee in all directions immediately came tumbling out of the water, jumping into the air. The man tore off his robe, whirled around in the air, tapped the surface of the water with the tip of his foot, and jumped back onto the shore.

This person was naturally Jing Ke, so it turned out that he had used the opportunity of the shooting-range of the fish to perform his lightness skill, using the eight forms of "Drawing Rope to Cut Ink", and used the tip of his sword to transmit his internal energy, pushing the fish out of the water, then wrapping it with his clothes, only then did he return to the shore. Jing Ke stood next to the fisherman. His hands trembled, and from his robe, he shook out dozens of fish. With a smile on his face, he said, "Senior, this seems to be a junior's fluke."

The fisherman thought he caught too many fish and it was because the fishing net couldn't take such a huge blow that it fell apart. Although he couldn't accept it, he could only sigh and say, "Ah, the heavens will not help me. Whatever it is, you can tell me."

When Jing Ke heard that the fisherman had already admitted defeat, he smiled at Gong Zhuorong, following which he cupped his fists and bowed to the fisherman, "Then senior, please take us to the Tidal Pavilion." It turned out that there was a reason why the fisherman's fishing net was torn at such a critical moment. Before he had spread the net, when Jing Ke had revealed his long sword in fishing equipment, he had already secretly cut off a few knots on his fishing net when Jing Ke wasn't prepared for it. When the fishing net was able to withstand the force of so many fish, it naturally couldn't endure the tearing.

The fisherman heard that the two wanted him to do this and seemed to be unwilling. He then asked, "Can't you change other things besides this?"

Gong Huorong knew the fisherman would be unhappy, so she pretended to be frowning and pouted, "Senior, we already have an agreement, as long as it doesn't go against the morality, is Senior going to go back on his word?"

The fisherman swallowed a few mouthfuls and reluctantly said, "Then let's go. We need to stay close. If we lose them, don't blame me." With that, the fisherman lifted the bamboo basket and strode forward.

When Jing Ke and Gong Zhuang Rong saw that their plan was completed, they were overjoyed, and immediately followed the fisherman.

After the three of them walked for half an incense stick of time, they saw a pavilion like building in front of them. It was faintly discernible in the fog, as if they had arrived at the heavenly temple. The fisherman pointed to the building and said, "Look, that's the Tidal Tide Pavilion you're looking for."

When Jing Ke heard the fisherman's words, he immediately became overjoyed. He thought that after travelling thousands of miles, he would need to find Sun Pai, and now that he had found the Tidal Tidal Pavilion mentioned by Sima Kong, they were not far from Sun Pai.

When the fisherman finished pointing at the Tidal Pavilion, he suddenly quickened his pace, as if he wanted to take advantage of the fog to get rid of the two of them. After walking a few steps, they suddenly felt that the road in front of them had become longer and narrower. When the two of them carefully examined their feet, they discovered that there was a swaying chain bridge in front of them. When the fisherman reached the chain bridge, he suddenly sprinted as if he was flying. With just a few kicks, he crossed the chain bridge.

Jing Ke was secretly surprised. So it turns out that not only was this fisherman's strength astonishing, he was actually this agile. He couldn't help but marvel at the number of crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Eastern Blessed Land. Of course, he wasn't willing to let the fisherman escape just like that, so he followed him with big strides. Behind him, Gongsheng Rong didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and immediately followed Jing Ke with small and quick steps.

But how could they know that after stepping on the chain bridge for a few steps, they felt that the shaking under their feet was extremely powerful. Moreover, there was even a sort of crackling sound, as if the chain bridge was about to break. Jing Ke raised his head again to look, only to see that the fisherman was already gone, but he was laughing coldly in a loud and clear voice in the distant fog, "Hng hng, you two brats, you actually tried to deceive me, today I will let you experience the power of the Soul Summoning Bridge!"

As soon as Jing Ke heard the fisherman's sneer, his heart shivered, as he realized that this fisherman already knew that he and Gong En Rong had won against him. This fisherman's fishing net was originally made of steel wire, if it wasn't for the Seven Star Dragon Abyss's divine weapon that could cut through iron like mud, how could it be easily torn apart by this little fish's energy? Therefore, he deliberately didn't reveal it to them. He only thought that he had admitted his defeat and brought them to the Tidal Pavilion in order to trap the two of them on the Soul Bridge.

Jing Ke knew that things were not going well, so he wanted to fly over the bridge, but suddenly, he thought, there was still Gong Huorong behind him, how could he abandon her? She was about to grab hold of the girl and pull her across the bridge when she heard a loud noise. The bridge actually had a big hole in it, and it continued to tear all the way to the end of the bridge. Only now could Jing Ke clearly see that the bridge was made of straw, it couldn't bear the weight of more than two people. The reason why the Soul Summoning Bridge was called this was because it let one person go and wanted to take the life of another person. This was why it was called the Soul Summoning Bridge.

"This is bad!" Jing Ke was shocked in his heart, he didn't care about how dangerous the situation was in front of him, he immediately jumped backwards, grabbed onto Gongsheng Rong's hand, and shouted, "Miss Rong, be careful!" But Gongsheng Rong's qinggong was originally not good, how could she have reacted to this sudden danger? At the same time, she felt a warm current tightly wrap around her, then she felt another wave of energy around her waist, and in a flash, when she reacted, her body had already fallen into someone's embrace. She looked up and saw that it was Jing Ke who was trying to save her, and immediately forgot about the dangerous situation she was in.

Although the Soul Bridge was instantly broken into pieces, any ordinary person would not have been able to react in time and fall into the abyss. But Jing Ke was proficient in the? Eight Forms of Mo Shou?, he had already trained his lightness skills to the maximum, and as long as he borrowed the power of the iron chain beside the chain bridge, he could freely travel over the Soul Bridge. Even with Gong Huangrong in his arms, he could easily leap off the broken Soul Bridge and cross the bridge in an instant.

The fisherman on the other side of the bridge had wanted to see how Jing Ke and the others would end up on the Soul Summoning Bridge, but a gust of wind suddenly blew over his head, and when he saw the two of them land on the ground like immortals, he immediately became dumbstruck, and stood in a daze, at a loss of what to do. When he finally reacted, he only felt that his Qi Sea had become numb, and he was no longer able to move.

As it turned out, when Jing Ke landed, he took the opportunity to turn around and the sheath of the Dragon Abyss Sword flew out. The Qi Hai acupuncture point was an important acupoint under the abdomen. After being hit, his whole body immediately became numb, and the fisherman, who hadn't been prepared in the first place, was suddenly struck by Jing Ke's attack. Before he could react, he was already standing there like a puppet.
