Chapter 183 Stirring up the enemy
The Blood Fiend Sect Master gave a cold laugh, his gaze sweeping over Yun Feiyang and Bloodstain like a knife:
"None of you will be leaving today."
He slowly raised his hand, holding a blood talisman that emitted a ghostly light.
Just as the Blood Fiend Sect Master was about to plant the blood talisman on Yun Feiyang, a sudden gust of wind broke the silence in the hall.
"who?"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master turned around abruptly, looking warily at the doorway.
Before he could finish speaking, two masked men in black flew in from outside the door like ghosts.
One man held a long knife, while the other wielded a soft whip, their movements swift and fierce.
They were clearly prepared, instantly releasing a smoke bomb that quickly filled the entire hall with thick smoke.
Under the cover of the smoke, a man in black wielding a whip used his long whip to wrap around Leng Feng's body and pull him to his side.
"Come on!"
The man in black holding the knife shouted in a low voice, his tone carrying an undeniable decisiveness.
Although Leng Feng was injured in the abdomen, he was still conscious. When he felt that he had been rescued, a sense of gratitude welled up in his heart.
Who are you?
Yun Feiyang asked in surprise, but he quickly realized that this was not the time to ask questions.
The man in black with the knife remained silent and fled with Leng Feng.
Yun Feiyang and Xuehen exchanged a glance, then followed the man in black.
The four quickly made their way through the billowing smoke and headed towards the exit of the main hall.
The black-clad guards were caught off guard by the sudden attack and were unable to organize an effective pursuit for a time.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master stood still, angrily watching the fleeing figures of the crowd, the blood talisman in his hand emitting a faint light.
"Chase!"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master roared, but the smoke had not yet dissipated, obstructing his vision, and he had already lost track of them.
The five people walked through many corridors and finally came to a hidden path.
The man in black put down Leng Feng, signaling everyone to stop for the time being.
"You should rest for a bit," the man in black with the knife said, his tone filled with concern.
Hearing it was a woman's voice, Leng Feng, enduring the excruciating pain, nodded.
"Thank you... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would already be..."
"No need to be polite, you should thank Qiu Ziyue instead."
The man in black holding the whip said calmly, "But we can't stay too long; the Blood Fiend Sect will catch up soon."
Yun Feiyang took a deep breath and calmed down:
"We need to find a safe place to hide now, and at the same time we need to find a way to treat Leng Feng's injuries, otherwise he will die suddenly soon."
Bloodstain looked around and discovered a hidden cave:
"There's a cave over there where you can take temporary refuge."
Everyone nodded in agreement and quickly headed towards the cave.
After entering the cave, Yun Feiyang began to examine Leng Feng's wounds and did his best to bandage them.
The man in black holding the knife removed his mask, revealing a familiar face.
Yun Feiyang and Leng Feng were greatly surprised when they saw this.
"Zhao Wanqing!"
Yun Feiyang blurted out, a hint of surprise and doubt flashing in his eyes.
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said softly, "It's me. I'm here to ease the effects of the Blood Talisman Technique on him."
Zhao Wanqing quickly took out a few horse chestnut leaves from the small bag she carried with her, skillfully rubbed them into juice, and applied it to her hands.
She closed her eyes, concentrated her inner strength, and gently placed her hand on Leng Feng's abdomen.
A warm energy slowly flowed into Leng Feng's body, and he felt the pain gradually lessen and his breathing become smoother.
Zhao Wanqing's internal energy and the medicinal effects of the seven-leaf clover complemented each other, effectively alleviating the Blood Talisman Technique's control over Leng Feng's body.
"how do you feel?"
Zhao Wanqing asked with concern.
Leng Feng slightly opened his eyes and nodded gratefully:
"Much better, thank you."
Zhao Wanqing smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, thank Qiu Ziyue instead."
Yun Feiyang looked at Zhao Wanqing, his mind filled with questions: "What's going on?"
Zhao Wanqing explained:
"Last time, Qiu Ziyue asked Young Master Qi to give me the medicine to relieve the symptoms. There was a note in the bottle, asking me to keep a close eye on your movements and provide assistance if necessary."
Bloodstain chimed in from the side, "I see, no wonder you were able to get here so quickly."
Zhao Wanqing nodded:
“That’s right. We’ve been secretly observing the Blood Fiend Sect’s movements. This opportunity to help you is our way of doing our part.”
"We will work with Senior Qiu Tianya to find a way to break the Blood Fiend Sect, and together we can end this all in one fell swoop."
Yun Feiyang said firmly, his eyes shining with determination.
Zhao Wanqing smiled and nodded.
"I believe we can succeed. Now, let's take a break and recharge."
Leng Feng smiled slightly. Although the pain had not completely subsided, his hope was even stronger.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit inside the cave.
The five men sat around the fire and began to discuss their next course of action in detail.
Zhao Wanqing took out a map and pointed out several key locations:
"According to my investigation, the core of the Blood Fiend Sect's barrier is located in a secret chamber beneath the main hall. To break the Blood Fiend Sect, we must find three scattered fragments of the Blood Talisman and combine them into one."
Yun Feiyang frowned in thought:
“This doesn’t sound easy; the blood rune fragments should be guarded closely.”
Zhao Wanqing smiled:
"That's true, but the Blood Fiend Sect will definitely be more careful after this incident."
Leng Feng nodded in agreement:
"We need more manpower, especially experts in infiltration and combat."
Yun Feiyang added:
"We can send Liu Qingluo and Zhuifeng; they can come with us."
After some discussion, the five of them formulated a preliminary plan.
The following day, Yun Feiyang used a special method to gently shake a bell twice under a willow tree, conveying the message of mission failure to Liu Xu.
Liu Xu informed Qiu Ziyue of the failure.
Qiu Ziyue was shocked, so she told Liu Xu to let Master Qiu let Yun Feiyang in so they could continue to discuss the next step of the plan.
After Yun Feiyang returned to the village, he told Qiu Ziyue everything, and Qiu Ziyue discussed it with Qiu Tianya.
Qiu Tianya said:
"Leng Feng was too hasty and alerted the enemy. It will probably be even more difficult for him to get close to the Blood Fiend Sect Master in the future."
Qiu Ziyue also expressed her agreement:
"Yes, we could have had more time and opportunities to understand the situation inside the Blood Fiend Sect, but now everything has become complicated."
Qiu Tianya stood up and paced back and forth in the room, pondering his next move.
Finally, he stopped and looked at Yun Feiyang and Qiu Ziyue:
"Although the situation has become tricky, we can't give up. The barrier we've created is enough to hold him off for a while. Leng Feng, let's go back and recuperate for now."
Several people nodded in agreement.
Since the barrier was erected, life here has been as if isolated from the world, far removed from the conflicts and dangers of the outside world.
The members of the five major gangs have already left.
Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, and Xiao Wan returned to Beitun Village. The Blood Fiend Sect remained silent for the time being, and Beitun Village returned to peace and tranquility.
In the morning, the village market was bustling with activity.
The vendors displayed fresh vegetables, fruits, and handicrafts, attracting many villagers to come and buy them.
The children curiously surrounded the sugar painting master, eagerly anticipating the various wonderful patterns that his spoon could conjure.
The elderly sat on a bench nearby, chatting leisurely and sharing their daily lives.
The sound of children reading aloud could be heard from the village school.
The afternoon sunlight softened, and Qiu Ziyue, with her pregnant belly, stood there.
Accompanied by Qi Yuxuan, they walked slowly along the dirt road in the village.
They held hands, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
"The weather is so nice today," Qiu Ziyue said softly, a gentle breeze brushing her face, bringing a touch of coolness.
Qi Yuxuan looked at her with concern and gently draped a soft cloak over her shoulders:
"My dear wife, be careful not to catch a cold. Your health is the most important thing right now."
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, feeling her husband's meticulous care, and her heart was filled with warmth.
"Thank you, Yuxuan. I feel really safe with you by my side."
As the two strolled along the market, the surrounding villagers cast friendly glances at them, some even greeting them warmly.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan responded one by one, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
"I remember when we first met, you were always so strong and never showed weakness easily."
Qi Yuxuan recalled softly, his eyes filled with love.
