Chapter 154 Blood Fiend Sect
Qiu Ziyue told Qi Yuxuan that she had heard of the Blood Fiend Sect when she was practicing martial arts.
The Blood Fiend Sect originated from the northern frontier, which is shrouded in a cold, misty atmosphere year-round.
The terrain here is rugged, with crisscrossing mountains and sparse population.
Hidden in this desolate land is the Blood Fiend Sect, a mysterious organization that strikes fear into the hearts of all.
The history of the Blood Fiend Sect can be traced back hundreds of years, when the northern border region was frequently ravaged by war and the people suffered greatly.
A martial arts master named "Blood Fiend" rises amidst this chaos.
He was highly skilled in martial arts, ruthless, and adept at using various poisons and hidden weapons.
It is said that he once single-handedly defeated an army of a thousand men, and was therefore revered as the "Bloodthirsty Emperor".
Blood Fiend was not satisfied with his personal achievements; he longed to establish his own power and rule the entire Northern Frontier.
So he gathered a group of like-minded martial arts practitioners and established the Blood Fiend Sect.
The organization is named after "blood," signifying their determination and ruthless methods in pursuing power at all costs.
From its inception, the Blood Fiend Sect was known for its extremely brutal training and strict rules.
Disciples in the sect not only need to cultivate profound martial arts skills, but also need to learn various poisons, mechanisms, and assassination techniques.
To ensure the purity of the sect, the Blood Fiend Sect shows no mercy to traitors. Once a disciple is found to have ulterior motives, he or she will be severely punished, or even executed.
As time went by, the Blood Fiend Sect gradually grew stronger, expanding its sphere of influence from the northern frontier to the Central Plains.
They were not only infamous in the martial arts world, but also colluded with some government officials and local powerful figures, forming a vast underground network.
The Blood Fiend Sect operates in an extremely secretive manner, often carrying out assassinations, kidnappings, and robberies under the cover of night, causing immense suffering to countless innocent people.
There are many chilling stories circulating in the martial arts world about the Blood Fiend Sect.
Some say that before a disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect can join, they must undergo an extremely cruel test—exchanging the life of their closest loved one for the qualification to join.
Although this is just a rumor, it is enough to instill deep fear in people towards the Blood Fiend Sect.
There are also rumors that the Blood Fiend Sect possesses an evil formation called the "Blood Fiend Grand Array".
This formation requires a human sacrifice to activate; once activated, all life within a hundred miles will be reduced to ashes.
It is said that there have been several records of the Blood Fiend Array being activated in history, and those places remain barren and desolate to this day.
In addition, the Blood Fiend Sect also possesses a peerless martial art called "Blood Fiend Divine Skill".
When this martial art is mastered to its peak, it can cause the practitioner's blood to boil, unleashing tremendous power, but it also comes with great danger.
Once a cultivator goes astray in their cultivation, they will descend into madness, lose their reason, and become a mindless, killing machine.
Qiu Ziyue continued:
In recent years, the Blood Fiend Sect seems to have become more active, with people constantly disappearing or being murdered, and all the cases point to this mysterious organization.
The major sects in the martial arts world united to try to uncover the true nature of the Blood Fiend Sect and eradicate it completely.
However, the Blood Fiend Sect's actions were extremely secretive and difficult to trace, causing repeated setbacks for the major sects.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu realized that the threat posed by the Blood Fiend Sect went far beyond this.
The treasure they are looking for is likely something the Blood Fiend Sect stole while serving a certain organization.
If the Blood Fiend Sect were to obtain this treasure, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In order to avenge the more than 300 lives lost in the Qi family, Qi Yuxuan decided to delve into the secrets of the Blood Fiend Sect and unravel this series of mysteries.
His eyes were cold and his face was solemn.
He knew this would be a journey full of danger and challenges, but he was prepared and would never back down.
After Qiu Ziyue finished speaking, she and Qi Yuxuan continued searching for clues in the secret room.
On a table in the corner, a worn-out book caught their attention.
Qi Yuxuan quickly picked it up, only to find it was a diary.
Qi Yuxuan opened the diary, which read:
3 / 15
Today, my third brother has finally returned victorious from the battlefield.
He led his army to successfully quell the Huang Chao Rebellion, achieving remarkable military exploits. The imperial court greatly praised him and bestowed numerous honors upon him.
However, my third brother and I disagreed on these honors and opportunities for promotion.
The third brother was determined to continue his career advancement in the court, craving more power and status.
Having experienced strife and war, I yearn to retreat to the countryside and live a peaceful life.
Our conversations always ended badly, and we eventually decided to go our separate ways.
6 / 20
The third brother once again won a victory on the battlefield, and his fame spread far and wide.
Each victory strengthened his resolve to remain in the court and pursue a higher position.
As I watched him gradually become cold and ambitious, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
Is this still the younger brother I used to play with and spend time with?
10 / 15
I heard that my third brother and Li Keyong had a disagreement at Shangyuan Post Station.
Li Keyong escaped and disappeared without a trace. Upon hearing this, I felt a mix of emotions.
My third brother's behavior is becoming increasingly incomprehensible; he seems to be a different person altogether. I don't know what he's been through to become like this.
11 / 10
I decided to leave this place full of intrigue and struggle, return to my hometown, and live a secluded life for a while.
Perhaps, only by getting away from all this turmoil can we find inner peace.
Before leaving, I left a letter for my third brother, hoping that he could re-examine his choices and find his former self again.
11 / 20
My third brother has won another great victory, and his fame has spread far and wide. Every time I see him so smug, I feel increasingly uneasy.
He is no longer the innocent and naive boy he once was; he has become cold and ambitious. The distance between us seems to be growing ever wider.
12 / 20
I heard that my third brother has taken control of the Blood Fiend Sect; that evil organization is utterly inhumane. I just want to stay away from conflict and avoid getting involved in bloody battles.
…………
The diary entries that follow are all about Qi Jiangfeng’s third brother. Who is this third brother?
Qiu Ziyue said softly:
"It seems we should ask our godfather, Li Keyong, to find out who this third brother really is."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Qi Yuxuan's eyes: "Then let's find him as soon as possible."
Qi Yuxuan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside:
“We will send a message to the Prince of Jin by carrier pigeon to ask who his third brother is, and I also want to give my family a proper burial.”
Qiu Ziyue also stood up and nodded firmly:
"Yu Xuan, once I am your wife, I will follow you to the ends of the earth for the rest of my life. I will always be with you and unravel all the mysteries."
The two nodded to each other.
Then, Qi Yuxuan's forced composure crumbled completely.
He sat on a wooden chair, covering his face with his hands, sobbing, tears streaming down his face.
"My parents were gone overnight, and all 380 members of our Qi family were gone..."
Qiu Ziyue stood next to Qi Yuxuan, with her arm around him.
Qi Yuxuan wrapped his arms around Qiu Ziyue's waist and cried sadly.
Qiu Ziyue gently patted his back, comforting him and feeling sorry for him.
