Chapter 175 Becoming a Demon
Chapter 175 Becoming a Demon
Night fell over the ancient Blood Fiend Sect, filling the air with a sense of oppression.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master, dressed in black and wearing a black mask, stood in the center of the hall, his eyes cold and profound.
His voice was deep and sinister, echoing in the silent hall:
"Blood Talisman's sudden death was the consequence of his betrayal."
The blood-red figure standing before him trembled slightly, feeling both awe and nervousness.
He knew that every decision the sect leader made was related to the future of the Blood Fiend Sect.
"Blood Shadow,"
The sect leader's voice suddenly rang out, "I have an important task for you."
Blood Shadow immediately knelt on one knee and responded respectfully:
"Sect Master, please give your orders."
The sect leader slowly raised his hand, holding a fragment of a blood talisman that emitted an eerie light.
"This is a fragment of a blood talisman. The next target is Qiu Ziyue. Once the blood talisman is implanted in her, Qi Yuxuan will inevitably hand over the treasure map in order to save her."
Blood Shadow raised his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes:
"Sect Leader, why did you choose Qiu Ziyue?"
The sect leader sneered:
"Qi Yuxuan is deeply in love with Qiu Ziyue. We can use this to force him to hand over the treasure map. Once we get the treasure map, we can strengthen the Blood Fiend Sect, and no one will be able to defeat it."
Blood Shadow nodded, understanding the sect leader's intention.
He took the blood talisman fragment, his hands trembling slightly as he felt the evil power surging in his palms.
"Blood Shadow, you must proceed with caution."
The sect leader continued, "Qiu Ziyue is no ordinary person; she may have protectors. You must ensure the operation goes perfectly."
Blood Shadow answered firmly:
"Your subordinate understands and will certainly not fail in your mission."
The sect leader nodded in satisfaction:
"Go, Blood Shadow. Proceed according to plan."
Blood Shadow stood up, turned and left the main hall.
As the night fell, his figure gradually disappeared, as if merging into the darkness.
He knew he bore a heavy responsibility and understood that the success or failure of this mission would determine the fate of the Blood Fiend Sect.
In Beitun Village under the cover of night, Qiu Ziyue is quietly reading a book in her room.
Blood Shadow stealthily infiltrated Beitun Village, cautiously approaching the houses.
His heart was filled with tension and anticipation, and the blood talisman fragment in his hand emitted a faint light, as if it couldn't wait to find a new host.
Just as he was about to leap into Beitun Village, a faint halo suddenly appeared at the entrance of Beitun Village.
That was a protective barrier set up by Qiu Ziyue; any outsider approaching would trigger an alarm.
Blood Shadow paused for a moment, then quickly retreated into the shadows, remaining secretly vigilant.
He knew that to successfully plant the blood talisman, he needed to find a more suitable time and method.
After returning to the Blood Fiend Sect, Blood Shadow reported the situation to the sect leader.
"Sect Master, Beitun Village has already set up a protective barrier. Now is not a good time to make a move."
The sect leader frowned, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Then we should try to break the barrier and continue to observe, looking for other opportunities. Qiu Ziyue will definitely relax her guard at some point. Also, with Xue Fu's sudden death, we need to cultivate new spies among his brothers to inform us."
Blood Shadow nodded:
"Understood, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
The sect leader waved his hand:
“Go, Blood Shadow. Remember, we must proceed with caution and avoid any mishaps.”
Behind this turbulent conspiracy, when the Blood Shadow breaks through the barrier, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan have already sensed the approaching danger through the sound of the wind chimes.
"If you want to eradicate the Blood Fiend Sect and gain peace, you must restore your martial arts and use mystical techniques."
Qiu Ziyue said.
"My wife, you can't overwork yourself right now, or you might go into a state of demonic possession," Qi Yuxuan comforted her.
"No, I have to train, otherwise we will all be doomed."
In order to recover her martial arts skills as soon as possible, Qiu Ziyue decided to practice the internal energy cultivation method given to her by Uncle Moquan - "Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Technique".
Although this secret technique is extremely powerful, the cultivation process is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness can lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.
However, Qiu Ziyue was extremely anxious. She knew that only through this method could she regain her former strength as soon as possible and protect herself and those around her.
Qiu Ziyue sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to practice her internal energy.
Her breathing gradually became steady, and the surrounding air seemed to ripple slightly, as if influenced by her aura.
As she circulated her internal energy, she felt a powerful force surging within her, seemingly about to break through a bottleneck.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Ziyue suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from her dantian.
Her face turned pale instantly, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Her previously smooth internal energy suddenly became wild and unruly, like a runaway horse, rampaging through her meridians.
"Do not……"
Qiu Ziyue gritted her teeth, trying to control the strange sensation in her body, but she found that her efforts seemed to be in vain.
Her internal energy grew increasingly violent, even beginning to backfire on her body.
She could feel her meridians being torn apart and her blood and qi churning.
"what!"
Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but let out a painful groan, and then spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her clothes red.
Hearing the commotion, Qi Yuxuan rushed over and was terrified to see Qiu Ziyue lying on the ground with blood still on her lips.
"Miss!"
He quickly helped her up and asked anxiously,
"what happened to you?"
Qiu Ziyue weakly shook her head, forcing a smile:
"I'm fine... I just had a little accident while cultivating."
Qi Yuxuan frowned, his heart filled with worry.
He knew that Qiu Ziyue had always been stubborn and unwilling to show weakness easily.
But the current situation is clearly not optimistic, and he must find someone to help him as soon as possible.
Qi Yuxuan immediately asked Yun Feiyang to invite the most experienced Turkic herdsman and doctor in the village—Aymat Tursun.
Tursun is over 70 years old, but he is still vigorous and skilled in medicine, especially in treating various difficult and complicated diseases.
Before long, Tursun arrived in a hurry.
He carefully examined Qiu Ziyue's condition, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"These are symptoms of qi deviation."
Tursun said in a deep voice, "The situation is quite serious and needs to be dealt with immediately."
Qi Yuxuan asked nervously, "Grandpa Tu, do you have a solution?"
Tursun nodded: "Don't rush, let me take her pulse and see the specific situation."
After a diagnosis, Tursun took out several silver needles and skillfully performed acupuncture on Qiu Ziyue to help her clear her meridians and alleviate the backlash from her internal energy.
At the same time, he also prepared some herbal medicine for Qiu Ziyue to take in order to stabilize her internal energy.
Under Tursun's meticulous treatment, Qiu Ziyue's condition gradually stabilized. When she opened her eyes and saw everyone's concerned gazes, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Thank you.
Qiu Ziyue said softly, her voice weak but full of gratitude.
Qi Yuxuan gently held her hand and said tenderly, "Don't push yourself so hard. We can face anything together."
Tursun smiled and said earnestly, "Young man, martial arts skills are important, but physical health is even more important. You must not be impatient for quick results, otherwise it will only backfire."
Thanks to Aymat Tursun's meticulous treatment, Qiu Ziyue's condition gradually stabilized.
But the old herdsman's expression remained grave. He pulled Qi Yuxuan aside and whispered his instructions:
"Child, you must listen to me."
Qi Yuxuan raised his head, his eyes filled with worry:
"Grandpa Tursun, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Grandpa Tursun sighed, his tone heavy: "When I took Qiu Ziyue's pulse just now, I discovered that she not only showed signs of internal energy backlash, but she was also pregnant. If she continues to cultivate this profound internal energy technique, it may lead to the loss of the fetus or even a miscarriage."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan's expression changed drastically, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling slightly:
"What... should we do?"
Grandpa Tursun patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"That's why you have to be extra careful. Her body is very fragile right now, and you have to persuade her to stop."
Qi Yuxuan nodded.
After returning to Qiu Ziyue's side, Qi Yuxuan hesitated for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to tell her the truth.
Twilight Sparkle,
He said softly, "Grandpa Tursun told me that if we continue to let you practice internal energy cultivation techniques, it might harm the child."
Qiu Ziyue was stunned.
Qi Yuxuan held her hand tightly and said firmly:
“We must stop all dangerous practices and protect this child. Your safety and the child’s health are more important than anything else.”
Qiu Ziyue nodded, but she still felt unwilling and said:
"But if we can't subdue the Blood Fiend Sect, we'll all suffer the same fate."
