Chapter 173 The Past of the Blood Talisman

As night fell, Beitun Village was enveloped in tranquility, with distant mountains rising and falling, exuding an indescribable sense of desolation.

"Are we really going to stay in Beitun Village permanently?"

Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue were resting on the bed.

Qi Yuxuan frowned and asked from inside the room, his tone tinged with worry.

“You have lost your martial arts skills. The two of us are no match for the Blood Fiend Sect.”

Qiu Ziyue sighed softly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"I have already sent a message to Liu Xu via carrier pigeon."

Although Qiu Ziyue's voice was soft, it was full of power.

"It won't be long before Liu Xu and Yun Feiyang arrive. If Xue Fu doesn't report back soon, the Blood Fiend Sect will come knocking on our door sooner or later."

Qi Yuxuan frowned, knowing in his heart that every word Qiu Ziyue said was true.

The Blood Fiend Sect will not let them off easily, especially now that the Blood Talisman has gone missing.

But he was still worried, after all, Qiu Ziyue had lost her martial arts skills.

The once invincible woman can now only rely on her wisdom and schemes.

"But……"

Qi Yuxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"Without your martial arts skills, even with traps and barriers, it will be difficult to withstand their attacks."

Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, a hint of confidence in her eyes:

"Although I have lost my martial arts skills, I still have other methods. I also asked Liu Xu to bring my jade flute and jade pendant. I will restore my martial arts skills as soon as possible by following the internal energy cultivation method left by Uncle Moquan."

"But you are already carrying our baby, so please don't overwork yourself, lest you harm the fetus."

"Don't worry, this place isn't undefended. Beitun Village may seem remote, but I've set up traps based on the terrain, so they won't be able to get in anytime soon."

Qi Yuxuan nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

"What other preparations do we need to make? We need to ensure the safety of the villagers."

Qi Yuxuan asked.

Qiu Ziyue stood up, took out an ancient sheepskin map from a hidden compartment, and unfolded it on the table.

She took a candle, and Qi Yuxuan also got up and came closer to look.

Qiu Ziyue carefully studied the markings on the map, lightly tapping on various key locations with her finger.

"This is the core area of ​​Beitun Village, and this is our core defense line."

Qiu Ziyue pointed to a spot on the map and said, "If we can set some traps here, we can effectively slow down the enemy's attack."

Qi Yuxuan nodded.

As the two were discussing how to cleverly set up further traps, they suddenly heard a melodious yet mournful sound of an ocarina coming from afar.

The voice was cold and melancholic, as if telling of endless sorrow and loneliness.

Qiu Ziyue's heart stirred, and she walked in the direction of the sound, arriving outside. She saw that the sound came from a dilapidated roof in the distance.

Under the moonlight, Xuefu sat alone on the rooftop, holding an ancient xun in his hands, playing a heartbreaking melody.

Qiu Ziyue watched from afar, not wanting to disturb him.

However, the Blood Talisman seemed to sense her presence, slowly stopped playing, and turned to look at her.

Then he leaped and flew to Qiu Ziyue's side.

"You've arrived."

Blood Rune's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of indescribable pain.

Qiu Ziyue asked softly, "Blood Talisman, why are you so sad?"

After a moment of silence, the blood talisman finally spoke:

"There are some things I didn't want to bring up..."

Qiu Ziyue nodded.

At this moment, Qi Yuxuan came out of the house and invited Xue Fu in for a couple of drinks.

The two men clinked glasses, and the smell of alcohol stirred up memories of the blood talisman.

"Many years ago, I was just an ordinary farmer's son. But the world was in turmoil and people were suffering. I joined Huang Chao's rebel army, hoping to change this chaotic world."

Blood Rune's voice gradually lowered, as if he were lost in memories:

"But the uprising failed, and I was seriously wounded and almost lost my life."

Qiu Ziyue listened quietly, a surge of sympathy welling up within her. Blood

Fu's eyes became confused, and he continued:

"When I finally made it home, mortally wounded, I found my house reduced to ruins. My wife, children, and elderly parents had all been murdered, and the house had been burned down. At that moment, I felt worse than if I were dead."

Tears streamed down his blood-stained cheeks again. He wiped them away with the back of his hand, his voice filled with deep self-reproach:

"Just when I was in despair, the Blood Fiend Sect Master appeared. He saved me and gave me a new identity and power. From then on, I became an assassin for the Blood Fiend Sect, carrying out various missions."

Qiu Ziyue sighed, understanding in her heart that the pain of the Blood Talisman was not only the loss of loved ones, but also the guilt and helplessness in her heart.

"Then how much do you know about the Blood Fiend Sect Master?" Qiu Ziyue asked.

"I don't know much either. The Blood Fiend Sect Master always wears a black robe and a black mask when he appears, so you can't see what he looks like at all."

As Blood Talisman spoke, he became terrified, his whole body trembling.

Qiu Ziyue asked what happened to the blood talisman?

"The Blood Fiend Sect's leader is ruthless. I personally witnessed him skinning people alive and boiling them alive. He also placed blood talismans and curses on his disciples, saying that if they betrayed him, they would die suddenly. It was extremely terrifying."

At this point, Blood Talisman dared not continue.

His face was gloomy, his expression was somber, and he was trembling all over.

Qiu Ziyue handed Xue Fu a cup of wine and said, "Let's have a drink together and temporarily forget the pain of the past."

Blood Talisman accepted the wine cup, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes:

"Thank you, Miss Qiu."

Qi Yuxuan also raised his glass:

"No matter what, we are all in the same boat. Regardless of the past, we will face the future together."

The three clinked glasses and drank the wine.

Blood Rune seemed to relax a little and continued to tell his story.

"Over the years, I gradually lost myself within the Blood Fiend Sect. Although I have a new identity and power..."

"But I can never forget my mother's instructions to me: not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Every time the night is quiet, the pain in my heart will surge up."

Qiu Ziyue gently comforted her:

"Everyone has their own past; what matters is how you face the future. The fact that you're willing to stay here shows that you still have kindness in your heart."

Blood Talisman nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes:

"Maybe. At least here, I felt the long-lost warmth of family."

As the three were drinking, a soft sound of footsteps suddenly broke the silence.

"Someone's coming."

The three of them immediately and tacitly split up to take action.

The footsteps outside grew closer, accompanied by a few whispers, clearly indicating that several uninvited guests were approaching.

In the shadows outside the ancestral hall, several men dressed in black lay in wait without making a sound.

They were all elite disciples of another branch of the Blood Fiend Sect, and after receiving the order, they rushed to Beitun Village.

Their goal is to find out the whereabouts of Xue Fu and the others, and to eliminate any possible threats.

Why is there still no news from Senior Brother Blood Talisman?

One of the men in black asked in a low voice, "Have they already been killed?"

"In any case, our mission is to find them and then completely eliminate the threat here."

Another man in black said coldly, "Listen carefully, once you spot the target, act immediately and leave no survivors."

The men in black exchanged a glance and quickly dispersed, surrounding the village from different directions.

Qi Yuxuan had already noticed the commotion outside the door. He carefully opened the door a crack and peered out to observe the situation.

The men in black were creeping closer, each armed and extremely vigilant.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past the window. Qi Yuxuan pushed open the door abruptly, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.

He quickly drew his sword and engaged the first man in black who rushed in.

The two exchanged blows, their swords flashing, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Ziyue immediately activated the hidden arrow mechanism on the wall.

With a mechanical whirring sound, dozens of arrows shot through the air, heading towards the black-clad men attempting to break in.

Several men in black were caught off guard and were pierced by arrows, letting out painful screams.

However, the disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect were no ordinary people.

They quickly adjusted their formation, with some continuing the attack while others began searching for a way to break the mechanism.

One of them discovered the control point of the mechanism on the wall and tried to destroy it.

"careful!"

Qiu Ziyue shouted and rushed forward.

She sprinkled out the poison powder that softened the tendons and bones, and the disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect fell to the ground one after another.

To be continued in the next chapter.
