Chapter 174 Blood Talisman Dies Suddenly

Just as the battle reached its climax, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadows.

Blood Talisman, wielding a longsword, appeared before a man in black.

His gaze was cold and stern, his tone carrying an undeniable authority:

"Bloodstain, stop!"

Upon hearing this sound, the man in black stopped his attack instantly and slowly put away his weapon.

He bowed to Xue Fu: "Senior Brother Xue Fu, what are your orders?"

Blood Talisman looked around and saw that the two sides were still fighting fiercely, so he frowned slightly.

He quickly approached the area where Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan were and said loudly:

"Stop fighting, everyone! Listen to me!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Feng and the others took a few steps back, watching the blood talisman warily.

Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan also temporarily stopped their attack, their eyes filled with doubt and wariness.

Blood Talisman took a deep breath and turned to the man in black, saying:

“We have already placed blood talismans on Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan. They must personally meet with the sect leader and hand over the treasure map.”

The man in black nodded, clearly understanding the meaning of the blood talisman, but Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan looked completely bewildered.

Qi Yuxuan gripped his longsword tightly and asked coldly:

"Blood Talisman, what do you mean by this?"

Blood Talisman sighed and explained:

“I don’t want to do this either, but it concerns the future of the entire Blood Fiend Sect. Blood talismans have been implanted in both of your bodies, and only the sect leader can break the seal. If you do not act as required, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Qiu Ziyue was startled; she knew the blood talisman was no exaggeration.

She looked at Qi Yuxuan, and the two exchanged a glance, seemingly both pondering a solution.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.

Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue exchanged a glance, both understanding in their hearts—the reinforcements had finally arrived!

Sure enough, a short while later, a group of swordsmen dressed in tight-fitting clothes rode up at full speed.

Leading the group were Leng Feng, Liu Xu, Yun Feiyang, and others. Upon seeing the scene before them, they immediately drew their swords, ready to fight.

Seeing this, Xuefu quickly explained.

"Everyone, I, Blood Talisman, have not disobeyed the Blood Fiend Sect Master's orders. I am bringing Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan to the Sect Master. I wonder what we should do now?"

Upon seeing this, Qiu Ziyue said:

"You saw the bloodstains too. If you make a move, you won't gain anything. Please report back to your sect leader. I will be giving birth here. After the child is born, I will go with you to see the sect leader. How about that?"

Seeing this situation, Bloodstain had no choice but to give up and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'll go back and report to the sect leader and see what he has to say."

Afterwards, Bloodstain led his disciples back to the Blood Fiend Sect.

After the bloodstain left, the blood talisman whispered to Qiu Ziyue:

"I only said I had placed a blood talisman on you two because of the circumstances just now. In fact, I did not place a blood talisman on you two as a couple. Please forgive me."

"Hmm, why? Blood Talisman, you could have used a Blood Talisman on us in exchange for the antidote to the Antidote for the Ageless Pill," Qiu Ziyue asked疑惑地.

“I wanted to make a move several times, but I admired Miss Qiu’s great kindness and righteousness, so I couldn’t bring myself to do it,” Xue Fu said.

"Alright, Blood Talisman, through our time together, I know you're a loyal and righteous person. From now on, I'll call you Brother Blood Talisman. Look, these are all our people. Let's all be friendly from now on."

After Qiu Ziyue finished speaking, she introduced Leng Feng, Liu Xu, Yun Feiyang, Liu Qingluo, Zhui Feng, and Arutai to Xue Fu one by one.

Although it was their first time meeting, the atmosphere between them was surprisingly harmonious.

Everyone nodded politely, their eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

After the introduction, Qiu Ziyue gestured to Qi Yuxuan to take out several jars of Northern Xinjiang aged wine from the cellar.

These jars of wine were left to them by the tenant's sister-in-law; they are mellow and fragrant, exuding a rich malty aroma.

Qi Yuxuan carefully moved the wine jar to the table and poured a glass for everyone.

"Come on, let's all have a drink together."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

The Northern Xinjiang aged liquor is smooth and mellow on the palate, with a long-lasting aftertaste that brings a sense of comfort.

Everyone started talking about their experiences and observations, laughter and conversation mingling together, as if they had temporarily forgotten the chaotic world outside.

"This is indeed a good place."

Yun Feiyang sighed, "It's just that the constant wars and the displacement of people are truly heartbreaking."

Qiu Ziyue nodded:

“Beitun Village has also been affected by war in recent years, with many refugees fleeing everywhere, so there are many vacant houses. I plan to arrange for you to stay in the nearest vacant house so that you can all get some rest.”

Leng Feng looked around and nodded:

"That's fine then, thank you for your arrangement."

Qiu Ziyue stood up and led everyone to the vicinity of the village house.

She pointed to several neat houses and said:

"These rooms are all empty; you can choose one to stay in. If you need anything, please come and find me anytime."

Liu Xu gently patted Qiu Ziyue's shoulder: "Thank you, Sister Ziyue. We will settle in as soon as possible."

Qiu Ziyue smiled and said, "There are still many things to deal with tomorrow, so let's get some rest tonight."

After thanking them, everyone went into their assigned rooms.

The night remained deep, and Qiu Ziyue knew that the peace of Beitun Village had been shattered.

Back inside, Qiu Ziyue inquired about the Blood Talisman, the secret of the Blood Talisman of the Blood Fiend Sect.

After thinking it over, Xue Fu also wanted to get rid of this life of living on the edge and going against his humanity.

Blood Talisman clutched a yellowed strip of paper tightly in his hand, on which were drawn complex rune patterns.

He told Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan that this was the legendary "blood talisman".

"Is this the method the Blood Fiend Sect uses to control people?" Qi Yuxuan's voice carried a hint of unease.

Blood Talisman nodded:

"That's right. Blood Talisman is one of the most forbidden spells of the Blood Fiend Sect. Once you are hit by it, you will be controlled by its will, and it can even kill you under certain conditions."

He unfolded the slip of paper in his hand, pointed to a section of runes, and explained:

"These runes are not simple incantations, but contain powerful spiritual energy. Experts of the Blood Fiend Sect can use a special ritual to inscribe these runes near the heart of their target, forming a hidden field."

"How did they manage to do that?" Qi Yuxuan asked curiously.

Blood Talisman took a deep breath and continued:

“The spellcasters of the Blood Fiend Sect need to be in close contact with their targets, usually when they are completely unprepared. They use specially made silver needles to pierce the target’s skin and inject runes into the body. This process is extremely painful, but it leaves no visible marks.”

While Xue Fu was explaining the incantation to Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue, the Blood Fiend Sect was secretly manipulating things.

Blood Shadow, the chief priest of the Blood Fiend Sect, stood in the center of an ancient underground chamber, surrounded by eerie runes and burning candles.

He was dressed in a long black robe, his eyes were as cold as knives, and he held a silver needle that emitted a ghostly light in his hand.

"Tonight, we will accomplish an important task."

Blood Shadow said in a low voice, "Our target is Blood Talisman of Beitun Village. He dared to betray the Blood Fiend Sect, and I will destroy him completely."

Inside the secret chamber, several disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect stood respectfully to one side, holding their breath and concentrating.

Blood Shadow took out a small bottle containing black dog blood from his pocket, gently poured a few drops onto the ground, and quickly drew a nine-square grid diagram.

Each cell contained different runes, and swirling smoke filled the entire space.

"Let's begin."

Blood Shadow chanted an incantation, summoning a dark energy that surrounded him.

His voice was deep and mysterious:

"The Blood Talisman has appeared, and a curse has descended!"

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, extinguishing all the candles, leaving only the faint glow of the silver needle.

Blood Shadow moved swiftly and silently slipped into Leng Feng's room.

Xue Fu left Qiu Ziyue's house and returned to his own room, where he lay fast asleep on his bed, completely unaware of the danger that was about to befall him.

Blood Shadow approached gently and lightly pierced Leng Feng's wrist with a silver needle, activating the runes.

As the silver needles were inserted deeper, the runes rapidly spread throughout his body.

Blood Talisman felt a sharp pain in his dream, but quickly regained his composure.

"Success."

Blood Shadow chuckled softly, "Blood Talisman, you can go to hell now."

A few days later, Beitun Village was once again in a state of tension.

Qiu Ziyue noticed that Xue Fu's behavior had become unusually cold, as if he had lost his former enthusiasm and vitality.

A sense of unease welled up within her, and she decided to investigate the matter.

"Blood Talisman has been behaving very strangely lately. Could something have been done to it?"

Qiu Ziyue said to Qi Yuxuan.

Qi Yuxuan nodded: "I feel the same way. We must find the reason as soon as possible."

Just then, Blood Talisman received an order from Blood Shadow Pigeon to leave Beitun Village and go to the border to carry out a secret mission.

As the blood talisman walked out of the village, the runes quickly activated within his body.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if an invisible force was tearing his body apart.

"Oh no, they've attacked me?"

Blood Talisman clutched his chest, his face pale.
