Chapter 166 Mysterious and Secret Techniques
Leng Feng saw a black horse stop outside the Demon Spring Palace, and riding on it was his former subordinate, Arutai.
Arutai looked anxious and glanced around.
"Arutai!"
Leng Feng responded loudly, "I'm here."
Upon hearing Leng Feng's voice, Arutai breathed a sigh of relief, dismounted, and quickly walked towards Leng Feng, kneeling on one knee.
"Master, I've finally found you!"
Leng Feng quickly helped Arutai up.
"Arutai, what brings you here? What happened?"
Arutai raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination.
I have heard of your decision, Master. You have chosen to remain in the Demon Spring Palace and withdraw from the Khitan tribe. I am also willing to follow you and swear my loyalty to the death!
Looking into Arutai's sincere eyes, Leng Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He knew that Arughtai was not only his capable assistant, but also a trustworthy friend.
“Arutai,” Leng Feng said softly, “I am no longer a member of the Khitan tribe. Now I am the master of the Demon Spring Palace, and I bear the responsibility of protecting this place.”
Arutai nodded firmly.
“Master, wherever you are, I am willing to follow you. Here is the peace and tranquility you desire, and I am willing to give everything for this land.”
"Thank you, Arutai. I'm so glad you came. From now on, we will protect the Demon Spring Palace together."
Qiu Ziyue also came over and smiled at Arutai, saying:
"Welcome to the Demon Spring Palace. This will be our new home."
Arutai looked at Qiu Ziyue gratefully and nodded.
"Thank you, Miss Qiu."
Leng Feng led Arutai into the Demon Spring Palace and they sat down in the main hall.
Arutai looked around and exclaimed, "This is truly a wonderful place; it's much quieter than the battlefield outside."
Leng Feng smiled. "Yes, this place has given us new hope and direction. Would you like to stay?"
Arughtai answered without hesitation:
"Of course I'm willing, Master. I will use all my strength to protect this place, and to protect you and Miss Qiu."
Leng Feng stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and faced Arutai and the other soldiers.
"From this day forward, we are no longer warriors of the Khitan tribe, but guardians of the Demon Spring Palace. We will protect this land together. Are you willing to follow me?"
"willing!"
The soldiers responded in unison, their morale soaring.
Arughtai was the first to raise his right hand and solemnly swear an oath:
"I, Arutai, swear to serve my master to the death, to protect this land and every inhabitant. I will never betray him, whether in life or in death!"
Other soldiers followed suit, solemnly swearing allegiance.
At this moment, Leng Feng felt incredibly proud and moved.
After the oath-taking ceremony, Leng Feng and Arutai stood on the high ground of the Demon Spring Palace, overlooking this beautiful land.
Qiu Ziyue walked over and said softly, "Leng Feng, you did a great job. You all look very happy."
Leng Feng nodded, his eyes flashing with determination.
"This land has given us new hope. I will spend my life protecting it and not letting anyone disturb this peace."
Next, Leng Feng led his soldiers to not only learn farming and construction, but also to protect the mountains and forests and help refugees.
Meanwhile, the members of the five major gangs who stormed into the Demon Spring Palace with Leng Feng were also poisoned by Su Jin Ruan Gu San.
Qiu Ziyue didn't pay much attention to them, but continued to give them a few steamed buns every day as usual.
After the leaders of the five major gangs—Wind, Fire, Water, Thunder, and Iron—became completely paralyzed, they would gaze at Qiu Ziyue from afar with eyes full of grievance every day.
But they couldn't speak and were in great pain.
However, Qiu Ziyue did not sit idle. With a compassionate heart, she hand-copied several copies of the "Tao Family Mystic Secrets" formula.
After finishing copying, Qiu Ziyue stood in the center of the main hall of the Demon Spring Palace.
She held several carefully packaged copies of "Tao Family Mystic Secrets" and a small bottle of antidote in her hands.
She took a deep breath and then slowly walked towards the leaders of the five major gangs—Feng Yunniang, Huo Lengxiong, Shui Jiangshan, Lei Xinzhen, and Tie Yiqing.
"This is what you've always wanted."
Qiu Ziyue calmly handed them the "Tao Family Mystic Secrets" one by one.
"I've given them to you. I hope that after you take these secret techniques, you'll leave this place and never cause me any more trouble."
The leaders of the five major gangs received the secret technique, their eyes filled with both surprise and gratitude.
They never expected Qiu Ziyue to hand over the treasure they had been dreaming of so easily.
Feng Yunniang spoke first, her voice trembling slightly:
"Miss Qiu, are you really willing to give us something so precious?"
Qiu Ziyue nodded.
"Yes, I am willing. But I also hope that you will keep your promise and never disturb the peace of the Demon Spring Palace again."
Huo Lengxiong said excitedly:
"Miss Qiu, don't worry! Once we get this, we will leave immediately and will not have any further thoughts."
Shui Jiangshan echoed:
"Yes, Miss Qiu, you are very generous. Our five major gangs have always been committed to keeping our promises and will never go back on our word."
Lei Xinzhen grasped Qiu Ziyue's hand and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Miss Qiu. You have given us a way out, and we will certainly not let you down."
Tie Yiqing bowed deeply to express his gratitude:
“Miss Qiu, you are a remarkable person. We will remember your kindness and never forget it.”
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, but her heart was filled with complicated feelings.
Then, Qiu Ziyue took out the antidote and handed it to the leaders of the five gangs.
"This is the antidote I specially prepared for you. After taking it, it can remove the toxins from your bodies and restore your health."
The leaders of the five gangs accepted the antidote, their eyes filled with gratitude.
Feng Yunniang was the first to take the antidote. A moment later, she felt a warm current flowing through her body, and her original discomfort gradually disappeared.
"It really works!"
Fengyunniang said with delight, and the other four leaders also quickly took the antidote and soon returned to normal.
Qiu Ziyue nodded gently as she watched them gradually recover.
"In that case, I hope you will leave here now, taking these secret techniques and antidotes with you, and go find a new life."
The leaders of the five major gangs once again expressed their gratitude, and then left the Demon Spring Palace with their respective subordinates.
Before leaving, they all promised to keep their promise and not disturb the peace of the Demon Spring Palace again.
Feng Yunniang glanced back at Qiu Ziyue and said softly:
"Little Qiu, may you live a peaceful life."
Qiu Ziyue smiled and replied, "Thank you, and I hope everything goes well for you too."
As the figures of the five major gangs gradually disappeared into the distance, the Demon Spring Palace returned to tranquility.
Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the five major gangs leave.
Qi Yuxuan walked to Qiu Ziyue's side and asked with concern:
"My wife, are you really so comfortable giving them mystical techniques?"
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly and explained:
"Yu Xuan, don't worry. Although those people obtained the secret technique, they simply cannot master it."
Lu Yuanchangming also walked over, frowning as he said:
“Yes, Twilight Sparkle, once those people master the Tao Family Mystic Secrets, there will never be a peaceful day in the martial world.”
Qiu Ziyue chuckled softly and shook her head.
"Haha, you guys are overthinking it."
"The Tao Family's Mystic Arts can only be mastered by those who have reached extremely high levels in music, martial arts, and internal energy. How could they possibly master it with their limited skills?"
Qi Yuxuan was still not at ease and continued:
"That won't do either, my wife. What if the secret technique falls into the hands of the martial arts world and is accidentally mastered by someone with wicked intentions?"
Qiu Ziyue smiled, a sly glint in her eyes.
"It's alright, I just made up the incantation. If someone with evil intentions tries to practice this secret technique, they will only suffer a qi deviation and even risk their life."
Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming exchanged a glance, and then they felt a little relieved.
Lu Yuanchangming nodded and said, "I see, Ziyue, you really thought of everything."
Qiu Ziyue patted Qi Yuxuan's hand and said gently:
“Yu Xuan, I know you care about me and are worried about the safety of the Demon Spring Palace. But you must trust my judgment. After these people obtain the secret technique, they will definitely not come looking for trouble again.”
Qi Yuxuan nodded, his worries gradually dissipating.
"Alright, my wife, I trust your plan. As long as you're comfortable with it, I'm relieved."
Lu Yuanchangming also agreed: "Ziyue, with you here, we all feel at ease."
As the sun sets, a warm and cozy atmosphere permeates the Demon Spring Palace.
Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and Lu Yuanchangming stood there, gazing into the distance, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future.
Leng Feng and Arutai also came over and joined them.
Leng Feng laughed:
"Twilight Sparkle, you are truly brilliant. This arrangement not only solves the problem but also avoids further conflict."
Arughtai also gave a thumbs up:
"Miss Qiu, you are truly amazing. We all admire you very much."
Qiu Ziyue smiled and said softly:
"They can finally shut up for a bit. We'll deal with the rest later."
