"The three of us, as Ascension stage Qi Refiners, were beaten like this at the Triple Heaven stage," Beichenzi coughed up blood repeatedly, his voice hoarse. "If he recovers to his peak state..."

The red-dressed woman and the worried old man shivered. Even if he recovers to his peak state, they were almost completely wiped out by the three of them this time!

If they hadn't brought back the Demon-Sealing Rune, and if Beichenzi hadn't released his yellow robe to guide them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Suddenly, Dazhong flew over and crashed into the three of them without saying a word. Zhuchanchan hid behind the bell and punched it, causing a loud sound!

Xu Ying and the others were seriously injured by Dazhong, but Dazhong's power was also exhausted and didn't fare well. The three of them immediately fought back with all their might, and Dazhong was immediately knocked away.

At this moment, Zhuchanchan jumped out from behind the bell and struck three punches. Each of the three people was hit by one punch, causing their treasures to tremble. The three of them were shocked and quickly suppressed the abnormal movements of their treasures with their remaining mana.

At the same time, Yuan Qi rushed out and immediately took Xu Ying away without saying a word. Sword energy circulated around him as he flew into the air, trying to escape with Xu Ying!

"Well done, Seventh Master!" Da Zhong shouted from a distance.

Yuan Qi controlled his sword and flew at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the sky.

Beichenzi and the others suppressed the abnormal movements of their treasures, and the worried old man threw out his yellow robe. Beichenzi stirred up his remaining vitality and blew out a breath. The yellow robe flew and caught up to Yuan Qi in no time, and then it fell into the sleeve of the robe.

Yuan Qi stirred up his mana and activated the Ba Snake True Cultivation Technique, transforming into a hundred-foot-long giant snake. However, as he grew larger, the sleeve of the robe also grew larger, enveloping him inside.

The yellow robe was also a treasure, seemingly worn by an invisible person. The invisible person shook their sleeve, causing Yuan Qi's bones to go soft. He involuntarily let go of Xu Ying and fell from the sleeve.

This place was quite high above the ground, and if he fell, he would surely be crushed to pieces. Fortunately, Dazhong flew over, and the opening of the bell enlarged, finally catching him, but he was still falling!

Zhuchanchan desperately attacked Beichenzi and the others, but they didn't bother to engage with her. They put away the altar and shrine, supported each other, stomped on the clouds, and flew away from the mountaintop.

The yellow robe carried Xu Ying in its pocket and flew automatically.

Dazhong stabilized his falling momentum and flew to the mountaintop, but Beichenzi and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Yuan Qi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and muttered, "These three old bastards took Ah Ying away. In this vast world, where can we find him?"

Dazhong also felt heavy in his heart. Xu Ying was sealed by the three of them, and it seemed that the memories of being a Snake Catcher were also sealed. According to their speculation, Xu Ying would be given a new set of memories and start a new life!

And today, the world is vast, with vast territories in the Divine Land. New lands keep emerging, and these three people could easily hide Xu Ying somewhere, making it impossible to find him!

Moreover, these three people reset Xu Ying's memories every once in a while, taking him to a completely unfamiliar place and starting a new life!

"You don't need to worry."

Zhuchanchan walked over quickly, her killing intent soaring. "The stone axe that Ah Ying brought with him has been tampered with by me. The treasures on those three brats have also been marked by me with three punches! None of them can escape my detection!"

Dazhong and Yuan Qi were both in awe and shock. Yuan Qi asked cautiously, "Madam, have you marked us with your punches too? We were also..."

Dazhong quickly shook himself up and down, checking for the mark on his body, worried that he was no longer pure. Zhuchanchan reassured him, "I wouldn't do that to my own people."

Dazhong and Yuan Qi felt slightly relieved.

Zhuchanchan felt regret in her heart. "I almost got discovered by them, but luckily they don't seem to be very smart. But it's not good to mark friends like this. I'll erase it when they're not paying attention. But wait, they are my protectors. What if they secretly slip away?"

In the Qingshui River of Wuling County, Yuanjiang, there was a village called Matoupo. The village had only three or four dozen households because it was close to the Yuanjiang River, so the villagers made a living by fishing.

In the west of the village, there was a family. The husband's surname was Xu, and his name was Jin. The wife's surname was Lu, and her name was Si. The couple had been married for many years but had never had a child.

Seven years ago, Xu Jin was fishing on the river when he cast his net and caught a child. The child still had a breath when brought onto the boat.

The couple saved the child and asked for his name. The child's surname was Xu, and his name was Ying. There was a village called Xujia Ping upstream, which was attacked by bandits and burned down. This child jumped into the water to escape, but he wasn't good at swimming and was carried here by the river waves.

Feeling sorry for the child, the couple adopted Xu Ying. Because Xu and Xu sounded similar, they didn't change his surname to Xu.

Unknowingly, seven years had passed. The child adopted by Xu Jin's family had grown into a half-grown boy. He had a broad frame and looked tall and thin. However, he had been fishing with Xu Jin for a long time and had become a little tanned.

In recent months, there had been changes in the land, and many new lands emerged. The towering mountains and steep hills appeared out of nowhere, changing the course of the river and making the Yuanjiang River more than ten times wider. The river water surged, and there were many big fish in the river, overturning small boats and devouring people.

For a while, the fishermen who relied on the water for a living didn't dare to go out on their boats. "It's the misfortune brought by that Xu Ying!"

An old man in the village said, "I remember that three months ago, our village didn't have this person named Xu Ying at all! He only appeared recently, and once he came to our village, it seemed like you all had known him for many years! He must not be human; he's a bewitching monster!"

People looked at the old man with strange expressions, but he continued incessantly, shouting, "This monster has changed your memories! Think about it, did Xu Jin really go out on a boat and catch a child with a net seven years ago? No! This child clearly appeared two or three months ago!"

"Old Xu has gone crazy."People shook their heads and some tried to comfort Xu Ying, telling him not to worry. They said, "Old Xu is getting old and his mind is always playing tricks. Last time he even accused me of peeping at the widow bathing. It's all nonsense. Haha."

Xu Ying didn't pay any attention to it.

In the evening, Xu Ying saw an old man with a worried expression entering the village and talking to Old Xu. After a while, a white-haired old man and a woman in a red dress also arrived.

The three of them looked strange, as if they had been injured. Some had broken arms, some had limps, and some seemed uncomfortable in the chest.

As they talked to Old Xu, they pointed and there was a gleam of light at their fingertips. Xu Ying watched with suspicion and picked up an axe from the door of his house, shouting from a distance, "What are you doing? Don't worry, I'm here!"

The three of them pointed and gestured, but when they saw Xu Ying approaching, they quickly turned and disappeared.

Xu Ying walked up with the axe in his hand. Old Xu was startled and asked, "Ying, are you going to attack?"

Xu Ying was surprised. Old Xu had never been kind to him before, but today he seemed different, treating him so kindly.

Feeling puzzled, Xu Ying exchanged a few words and then left.

Outside the village, Beichenzi said, "That was close. Last time we altered the memories of the villagers in the nearby towns, but we didn't expect there to be a loose end. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and nothing went wrong."

The three of them stood on a high place, looking at Xu Ying. They saw that Xu Ying had already accepted his new identity, flipping the wooden boat over and cleaning the bottom, finally feeling relieved.

"This seal is foolproof! Now we can rest easy!"

The three of them looked at each other and laughed. The woman in the red dress said, "Let's go! We can rest and recover now!"

Xu Ying was familiar with fishing. He cleaned and dried the boat, and then went to dry the fishing net. At this time, Xu Jin returned from paying respects to the gods, limping. Xu Ying asked, "Did Lord He kick you?"

Xu Ying was furious and said, "How dare he kick my father!" He grabbed the axe standing in the corner of the wall, ready to fight the deity.

Xu Jin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? That's the god we worship in Matoupo. He can crush you with just one finger! Put down the axe!"

He sighed and said, "These days, we thought that with the appearance of the new land, the government would not come to collect taxes. But unexpectedly, Lord He has become even more ruthless. Just now, Lord He said he wanted to build a temple and increase the number of worshippers. We said we didn't have money and couldn't even catch fish, so he kicked us."

Xu Ying said, "I don't think Lord He is anything special. He's just a clay statue, not very capable. Why be afraid of him? Since the new land appeared, he has been bullied by the creatures in the water every day and has been beaten several times. Now he doesn't dare to go into the water. He bullies women and has married so many wives that the temple can't hold them all. Now he wants to build a new temple, probably to marry even more wives! If he marries all the women, won't I be left single? I'll take the axe and go over there to make sure he gets killed!"

Xu Jin glared at him and scolded, "You're out of control! You think you can get married? Even if we sell your father, we still won't have enough dowry! Have you finished cleaning the boat? Clean it and go to sleep. We'll set sail tomorrow morning!"

"Father, we haven't eaten yet. Why sleep? What's for dinner tonight?"

"We haven't fished for so many days. We'll go hungry!"

Although he said that, Xu Jin still took a dried fish from the wall, patted off the dust, and took it to Lu Shi to cook.

The next day, the father and son had some porridge. Lu Shi packed the leftover dishes from last night and brought a few pieces of root vegetables that she had dug in the mountains with some aunties. She said, "Yesterday, I went to dig tree roots in the mountains with a few aunties. They tasted sweet. I didn't dare to give them to you last night, so I ate them myself and I'm still alive. So I brought some for you two to eat on the way."

Xu Ying took the roots and found them to be sweet, but with a bit too much residue. Xu Jin scolded, "You brat, that's our food for the day. Don't eat it all!" Xu Ying said, "I'm hungry."

"Then don't eat it. Wait until we come back tonight to eat. Otherwise, if you don't have the energy to row the boat back, we'll have to feed you to the big fish."

Xu Ying put the roots in the cabin, and Xu Jin paddled the boat with a bamboo pole, heading into the turbulent Yuan River. When they reached the middle of the river, a fish four or five times bigger than their boat swam past, almost capsizing the boat.

Father and son quickly stabilized the boat, and saw the big fish swim away.

The sun rose from the river, and several white giant birds emitted loud cries as they flew over their heads, their wings casting shadows like clouds.

This was a bend in the river where the water flowed too fast and they couldn't catch any fish. Father and son sailed along the river, heading towards a tributary of the Yuan River.

Several tens of miles downstream, the water was shallower and the current was not as fast, so there would be fish and shrimp. Xu Ying stood at the bow of the boat, adjusting the direction of the boat while practicing his breathing.

He practiced a technique called Taiyi Guiding Art, which was strange because it seemed to be engraved in his mind. He didn't know where he had learned this technique.

"Practicing every day, what's the use?" Xu Jin was very disdainful of it.

Xu Ying divided his attention and said, "I think it's useful. Anyway, I have nothing else to do, so I practice casually. Father, don't you want to learn? I can teach you."

"What's the use of learning? Can it help us catch fish or row the boat?" Xu Jin laughed, "What's the point of learning it?"

Xu Ying had no choice but to let him be and continued to practice on his own. It was strange that today's cultivation was slightly different from yesterday's. Sunlight gathered above his head and flowed into his body in continuous streams of light.

The streams of light gradually formed a vortex in the air, and specks of light rotated in the vortex, falling into his body.Xu Ying marveled at the sight, and by the time they reached the downstream, the vortex of light above his head had grown quite large, spanning about forty to fifty feet in diameter.

"If it weren't for me fishing him out seven years ago, I would have thought he was a demon," Xu Jin thought to himself, observing the situation.

They sailed downstream, where they saw a boat shattered into pieces, with several large fish feasting on the corpses beneath the wreckage.

Xu Ying and Xu Jin were no strangers to such sights. They steered their boat into a tributary, sailing into the forest along the river. Xu Jin cast his net to fish, but strangely, he could only catch small fish the size of his palm, unable to catch any large ones.

When Xu Jin grew tired, he let Xu Ying cast the net. As soon as Xu Ying threw the net into the water, it suddenly sank heavily, almost capsizing their small boat. A large fish appeared in the net, dragging it along the river in a mad dash.

Xu Ying held onto the net tightly, unwilling to let go, while Xu Jin steadied the stern of the boat to prevent it from capsizing.

Their small boat shot forward like an arrow released from its bowstring. Xu Jin was terrified and quickly said, "Ah Ying, let go, or we'll end up in the belly of the fish!"

Xu Ying ignored him, and the large fish dragged their small boat for more than ten miles into the mountains. The banks were lined with peach trees in full bloom, and petals were scattered everywhere.

The father and son had no time to admire the scenery as they saw the large fish pulling their boat towards a cliff!

Xu Jin screamed in horror, thinking they were about to crash and shatter into pieces. But then he saw a crack in the cliff, and the large fish actually dragged their boat into it!

"Bang!"

The large fish got stuck in the crack, unable to move. Xu Ying quickly took out a stone axe from his waist and struck the fish's head.

A strange scene unfolded. The fish's blood and energy suddenly flowed into the stone axe, causing it to emit a bloody light that illuminated the crack!

Xu Jin was startled and told Xu Ying to throw away the axe.

Xu Ying was reluctant and kept it at his waist. The father and son dragged the large fish out and tied it to the side of the boat. Xu Ying looked into the crack and saw a light coming from it. Xu Jin said, "There's treasure in there. We can sell it and save money for your wedding!"

The crack was initially very narrow, just wide enough for a person to pass through. After walking for about a hundred steps, the view suddenly opened up.

Meanwhile, at Matoupo Village, the river level suddenly rose, and large fish were leaping out of the water in groups. Some jumped as high as ten meters, a terrifying sight.

On the bank, the villagers stood frozen in fear. They all looked towards the river and saw a giant snake approaching.

The giant snake had two horns, one black and one white, each about thirty to forty feet long. Its scales shone with a rainbow light, making it look magnificent. The snake moved slowly and gracefully, its presence naturally intimidating, causing the fish in the river to leap incessantly.

There was also a bell hanging from the snake's head, expanding and contracting as it breathed in the sunlight.

Sitting on the bell was a girl in her teens, dressed in wide sleeves. She was pretty, with a jade-like nose, starry eyes, and fair skin tinged with the delicate pink of a young girl.

The girl said, "I sensed that the axe was nearby, but somehow, it suddenly disappeared."

The giant snake spoke in human language, its voice thunderous and resonating over the water, "Chanchan Ancestor, is your sensing reliable? We've been searching for months and still haven't found it!"

Seeing houses on the bank, the snake said, "I'll go ashore and ask."

Da Zhong said, "Master Qi, be gentle, don't scare the people." "I'll be mindful."

The giant snake swam to the shore, and as soon as it opened its mouth, sand and stones flew around. It spoke politely, "Stop running, stop screaming, I'm not a man-eating demon! You even dare to splash me with black dog blood!"

Yuan Qi coughed and asked, "Have any of you seen a young man named Xu Ying? He's tall and thin, with slightly dark skin."
