Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 292 Blood Witch Clan

"Coo-coo." The chirping of nightingales echoed through the woods, and almost everyone's gaze fell on Qin Xiaochuan, or rather, on the witch's ring.

"I know what you want to know." At this moment, Qin Xiaochuan had gradually calmed down from his previous tension. In fact, he had anticipated this scene many times beforehand. Since he was going to take out the witch ring, he naturally knew how to handle the next step.

"Speak quickly!" The captain of the Imperial Guard was clearly the most impatient of the three, and upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, he urged him impatiently.

Qin Xiaochuan gave the Imperial Guard captain a cold look, then pulled his arm out of Yueyin's grasp. Yueyin initially forgot to let go, but after a moment he realized what was happening and immediately released his arm.

Qin Xiaochuan stroked the witch's ring, his emotions becoming incredibly complex. Although he had long anticipated this day, taking this step was still quite difficult. Perhaps, as Han Kexin said, once he took this step, there would be no turning back.

"You're right, this is indeed the Witcher's Ring." Qin Xiaochuan held the Witcher's Ring up in front of the three of them. "Just as you can see, I not only possess this ring, but I can also use it." As he spoke, he thought for a moment, and the Witcher's Ring disappeared from his index finger.

"Huh?" The Imperial Guard captain had barely uttered the word "huh" when Qin Xiaochuan made the magic ring appear again, then calmly said to the three of them, "You should know very well what this means, right?"

"You are...you are..." The captain of the Imperial Guard stared blankly at Qin Xiaochuan, his lips trembling and his eyes constantly shifting. After a long while, he murmured as if waking from a dream, "The Blood Witch King!"

His voice wasn't loud, but at that moment everyone in the forest was focused on the four of them, so all the Blood Witches in the forest could hear him.

Upon learning that the ring in Qin Xiaochuan's hand was a witch's ring, the forest was immediately filled with murmurs. But when he uttered the words "Blood Witch King," the forest suddenly fell silent. Everyone seemed to freeze for a moment. Yueyin and Fengyin were still staring intently at Qin Xiaochuan, but under the pale moonlight, their usually unfathomable eyes were clearly flashing with excitement.

Qin Xiaochuan observed the expressions of the three men. He felt both nervous and excited. Although he had anticipated the possible situation, he had no experience in what to do next. He had assumed that once the blood witches learned his identity, they would obey his orders and abandon their plan to rescue Zhu Yihu. However, he never expected that these people would just stand in front of him in a daze.

Qin Xiaochuan felt he should make a gesture, but he was unsure of what attitude or role to take.

"Now that you know his identity, have you forgotten your manners?" Just as Qin Xiaochuan was at a loss for what to do, Han Kexin's cold yet authoritative voice came from beside him, like a sharp blade slicing through the almost frozen air.

Qin Xiaochuan noticed a hint of hesitation in the eyes of Yueyin and the other two. Fengyin and the captain of the Imperial Guard both glanced at Yueyin, clearly indicating that everything was guided by Yueyin's actions.

After pondering for a while, Yueyin's expression gradually calmed down. He spoke cautiously and slowly, "It's not that we lack manners, but this witch's ring appeared too suddenly, leaving us unable to distinguish its authenticity. I would like to ask, where did you obtain this ring?"

Qin Xiaochuan could understand Yueyin's words. If it were him, he would also subconsciously have doubts if something unexpected suddenly appeared in front of him. However, he could only rely on Han Kexin to explain the origin of the ring.

Han Kexin did not disappoint him. She turned around to face Yueyin and the other two, reached out and ripped off the disguise mask from her face. Her expression was indifferent, and she said in a cold voice, "Yueyin, I think you should still recognize me, right?"

"It's...it's Miss Han." Yueyin's expression became excited again. This time, he had no more doubts. He immediately changed to a respectful demeanor, and then, together with Fengyin and the captain of the Imperial Guard, knelt on his right knee before Qin Xiaochuan, placed his hands on his left knee, and said devoutly and powerfully, "Your subordinate pays respects to the Blood Witch King."

As soon as the three finished speaking, the other Blood Witches in the forest reacted. Seeing their leaders kneel down, they also descended from the air, creating a cacophony of sounds throughout the forest.

"Greetings, Blood Witch King!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Qin Xiaochuan was dumbfounded. Although he admitted that he had vanity or a desire for power, as an outstanding college student living in the 21st century, the concepts of freedom and equality were deeply ingrained in his bones, and his belief in anti-feudalism and anti-exploitation had never faded. But now they were doing this to him, even kneeling and bowing. Wasn't this the biggest joke in the world? How could this not make him dumbfounded?

"Cough cough cough, actually you don't need to do this..." Qin Xiaochuan awkwardly dug his toes into the ground. Seeing that the other party was still kneeling there, he reflexively bowed and helped Yueyin up, saying, "You can get up first... Actually, I am not... I am not a true Blood Witch King right now."

He stammered as he explained, urging the blood witches to get up quickly. Only after hearing his words did Moonshadow and the other two stand up, and the other blood witches followed suit.

"Your subordinate was unaware that you are our new generation Blood Witch King. I was rude and offensive just now. Please forgive me, Blood Witch King." Yueyin stood up and bowed to Qin Xiaochuan again to apologize.

"Uh, actually, I revealed my identity to you not so that you would do that..." Qin Xiaochuan scratched his head, unsure how to put his words, "I just hope you won't have any conflicts with humans."

"But Zhu Yihu is very important to us," Yueyin said hesitantly. "Most of these people are from the Imperial Guard. If we don't save Zhu Yihu, our brothers will be disheartened."

"I know." Qin Xiaochuan finally regained his composure. "Didn't I just say that we should take care of rescuing Zhu Yihu?"

"Then we'll go with you," Feng Yin said from the side.

"No need, too many people will only make things more difficult. Just take care of yourselves." Qin Xiaochuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

After exchanging glances with Yueyin, Fengyin, and the Imperial Guard captain, Yueyin finally placed his right hand on his chest, bowed deeply, and said, "We will obey your orders. I will lead everyone to a safe place. Please take care, Your Majesty."

Qin Xiaochuan initially wanted to say that he wasn't ordering them to do anything, but then he thought better of it. Rules that had been established over thousands of years weren't so easy to change, so in the end he could only nod and say, "Okay, I understand."
