Chapter 189 It Was You All Along
The Blood Fiend Sect Master held the map, his hands trembling slightly as he scanned it with his eyes.
Suddenly, his expression froze, as if he had been frozen by an invisible force.
A moment later, he burst into a fit of maniacal laughter that echoed eerily through the empty village entrance.
"No, this can't be real! Hahaha!"
He laughed wildly, his voice tinged with a hysterical despair.
"My brother didn't lie to me, I even killed their whole family...and the treasure is right under my feet!"
He paced back and forth, muttering to himself incessantly:
"How is this possible? I've been searching here for so many years, and it's right under my feet..."
The laughter gradually turned into a low murmur, and his gaze became lost and empty.
"Heaven is blind! Why are you toying with me like this? Why?"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master gripped the map tightly, his knuckles cracking as if he wanted to tear it apart.
His pace quickened, as if he were chasing an unseen enemy, or fleeing some unbearable truth.
"Ha ha, how ironic!"
He suddenly stopped, threw his head back, and burst into laughter.
"I spared no expense to obtain the treasure, even personally destroying family after family. Now, the treasure is right beneath my feet, and I know nothing about it..."
He crouched down, buried his head in his hands, and his voice became hoarse and trembling:
"Heaven has no eyes, heaven has no eyes... why are you punishing me like this?"
Qiu Ziyue stood aside, watching this scene coldly, feeling both pity and contempt.
Just as the Blood Fiend Sect Master went mad, Qi Yuxuan suddenly shouted:
"Let's do it!"
Lu Yuanchangming quickly blew a sharp whistle, breaking the silence.
In an instant, the elite troops lying in ambush outside were like tigers released from their cages.
They rushed into the carriage with lightning speed and sealed off the surroundings.
At the same time, Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming simultaneously channeled their inner energy, unleashing a powerful surge of internal force towards the iron cage.
With a loud "boom," the iron cage shattered into pieces, scattering fragments everywhere.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Ziyue's eyes.
Qi Yuxuan then flashed and flew to the Blood Fiend Sect Master like a ghost.
His movements were swift and his fingers moved like lightning, accurately striking the Blood Fiend Sect Master's acupoints.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master froze, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as it all unfolded.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuanchangming immediately stepped forward, a black pill appearing in his hand at some point.
He quickly stuffed the pill into the Blood Fiend Sect Master's mouth, forcefully pinching his chin to ensure the pill was swallowed smoothly.
"what is this?"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master stared wide-eyed in terror, making indistinct sounds.
"poison."
Lu Yuanchangming answered coldly, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
"Let you taste the bitter fruit of your own actions."
Qiu Tianya raised the Spirit Suppression Pagoda.
This is a tower carved from black jade, emitting a faint, ethereal light, with each line seemingly telling a secret from a thousand years ago.
The runes on the tower flickered faintly, as if waiting for their master's summons.
"Today, may your souls find true rest."
Qiu Tianya said in a low voice, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity and determination.
He gripped the Spirit-Suppressing Pagoda with both hands, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his internal energy.
A powerful surge of magical energy erupted from his body and rapidly poured into the Spirit Suppression Tower.
In an instant, the tower shone brightly, and the runes seemed to come alive, leaping and spinning in the darkness.
As Qiu Tianya's magic gradually intensified, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Under the influence of magic, the assassins slowly floated up, as if being pulled by an invisible force.
Qiu Tianya opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, and recited an ancient incantation:
"The Spirit-Suppressing Pagoda appears, and the ghosts return to their places;"
Evil spirits vanquished, all bones reduced to ashes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light shot out from the top of the Spirit Suppression Tower and soared into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the light transformed into countless fine threads, enveloping the remains of the assassins like a net.
Those once fearsome assassins now appear so vulnerable and helpless.
Wherever the light touched, the bones of the assassins rapidly decomposed, turning into wisps of green smoke that dissipated into the air.
Qiu Tianya continued chanting the incantation, pouring his magical power into the Spirit Suppression Tower to ensure that no corner was overlooked.
Finally, as the last wisp of smoke disappeared into the night sky, the entire battlefield returned to calm.
The ground was left empty, as if no battle had ever taken place.
Qiu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Spirit Suppression Pagoda.
Looking at everything before him, he was filled with emotion.
"May your souls find rest and no longer be trapped in hatred and resentment."
At this moment, only the Blood Fiend Sect Master remained in the Blood Fiend Sect camp.
Qi Yuxuan stepped forward and ripped off the Blood Fiend Sect Master's hood.
In an instant, an old and distorted face was revealed to everyone.
It was a face covered in wrinkles, with eyes that revealed madness and despair.
"It was you!"
"How could it be you?"
"Aren't you dead?"
……
The four masters, Qiu Tianya, Chunxia, Qiudong, and others, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"That's right, I am Huang Chao."
The Blood Fiend Sect Master suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter, his laughter tinged with hysterical madness.
"You would never have imagined, would you? The former leader of the peasant uprising has now become like this."
The crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"What? You're Huang Chao?"
Qiu Ziyue's voice trembled slightly. She could hardly believe that the madman in front of her was the heroic figure in history who had stirred up a monstrous wave.
"You were such a hero back then, why have you become like this?"
Qi Yuxuan frowned, his tone filled with confusion and regret.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master's smile gradually faded, replaced by a deep sorrow.
"Haha, a hero? What kind of hero do you think I am? I'm just a pathetic wretch toyed with by fate."
His gaze drifted into the distance, as if lost in memories:
"Back then, I led the peasant uprising army and swept across the land. We wanted to overthrow the corrupt court and bring hope to the people."
"However, the victory did not bring true peace, and the people continued to live in dire straits."
Lu Yuanchangming couldn't help but ask:
"Then why did you stoop so low as to become the master of the Blood Fiend Sect?"
A flash of anger crossed the Blood Fiend Sect Master's eyes:
"Do you think I wanted this? Back then, when I was defeated, I wanted to end my life."
"But I was saved by the Blood Fiend Sect Master. He taught me the Blood Talisman Technique, but I didn't want to see him so cruel, so I killed him and took his place."
He sneered and continued:
"But I discovered that the Blood Fiend Technique is an evil martial art. I realized that I can't go back. It's even more brutal than the previous Blood Fiend Sect Master."
"But in the end, I still failed. The treasure was right under my feet, but I could never get it. It was all a trick of fate, and I had only myself to blame."
Qiu Ziyue sighed and said softly:
"The wheels of history keep turning, and no one can stay at the top forever. Your concern for the people will never be forgotten."
The Blood Fiend Sect Master was stunned, as if no one had ever spoken to him like that before.
A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes, but it quickly returned to its coldness.
"Maybe you're right. But it's too late now."
"But why did you kill hundreds of members of my Qi family? Why?"
Qi Yuxuan roared.
