Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 291 Blood Witch Clan

Good books and good stories accompany you every day.

"I wonder if you know that Zhu Yihu has been captured by the Demon Hunters?" Qin Xiaochuan asked Yueyin and the others under the moonlight.

Yueyin said in a cold voice, "We already know that. We've been discussing countermeasures these past few days, preparing to rescue him."

"This is their conspiracy. They will bring Zhu Yihu to this island in the next couple of days and set up a trap, just waiting for you to walk into it."

"So what? Even if it's a trap, even if it's an inescapable net, even if there's no way out, we will still go and rescue Zhu Yihu," the Imperial Guard captain said excitedly.

"That's right," Yueyin chimed in. "We're not unaware that they might have a trap, but haven't you heard the saying, 'Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den'?"

Qin Xiaochuan hadn't expected these people to be so stubborn, so he could only say, "I understand how you feel. I'm here to deliver intelligence not so that you'll abandon Zhu Yihu, but so that you won't walk into a trap. As for Zhu Yihu, we'll find a way to help you rescue him."

"Who are you? Why are you helping us?" Yueyin scrutinized Qin Xiaochuan with her gaze, seemingly trying to find some clues from the young man.

"You don't need to worry about our identities; you'll find out eventually. I'm doing this purely for your own good, since it won't cost you anything. So I hope you'll take my advice," Qin Xiaochuan said earnestly.

"We appreciate your kindness, but it's not that we don't trust you. It's just that Zhu Yihu is very important to us, and we can only feel at ease if we rescue him ourselves," Yueyin said without hesitation.

"That's right, we don't need anyone's help. I don't believe those demon hunters are that strong. If so many of us are afraid to rescue Zhu Yihu, then we are not worthy of being the Imperial Guard of Crescent City." The captain of the Imperial Guard also echoed loudly from the side.

"But don't you think you'd be more useful if you survived?" Qin Xiaochuan said helplessly. He was also having a headache. It seemed that these blood witches couldn't be persuaded by words alone.

"Stop talking. We've made up our minds, and we won't change them easily," Yueyin said coldly.

"What if I try to stop you?" Qin Xiaochuan did not back down.

Yueyin frowned as he looked at Qin Xiaochuan, his voice even colder: "I admit you do have some strength, but do you really think we're all trash?" Just as he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from him, making Qin Xiaochuan's heart tighten.

At the same time, the other blood witches also revealed their weapons. Seeing this, Han Kexin and the others could only jump onto the boulder and form a circular defensive formation with Qin Xiaochuan back to back.

"It seems you failed to persuade them," Han Kexin said sarcastically from the side.

"Who knew they would be so stubborn, so impervious to reason?" Qin Xiaochuan said with a helpless bitter smile.

"So what do we do now? Should we fight them? Beat them into submission?" Guo Shiyi asked.

"It's not that easy. And given their current attitude, unless we kill them, even if we win, we won't be able to stop them." Qin Xiaochuan felt a headache coming on. Now he only had one last option: to reveal his identity. But he really didn't want to use this method until the very last moment.

While the three were talking, the blood witches around them began to clamor and rush forward, some even gathering their spiritual power, making the scene extremely noisy, and it seemed that a battle was about to break out.

Yueyin watched Qin Xiaochuan and the others quietly. He originally wanted to give them some time to back down, but seeing that the three of them had no intention of moving aside, he could only raise his hand slightly. As soon as he waved his hand, the Blood Witches next to him would swarm forward.

"Stop!" With no other option, Qin Xiaochuan could only raise his right fist and shout.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Yueyin frowned as she looked at him.

"I'll talk," Qin Xiaochuan said, closing his eyes and trying to calm himself down. Then he shouted, word by word, "I... I won't allow you to walk right into my trap."

For a moment, everyone seemed to be frozen in place, staring blankly at him. Only the evening breeze whistled through the woods, but it could not drown out Qin Xiaochuan's rapid heartbeat.

"Hahaha—" After a few seconds of silence, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the forest.

"Hey, did I hear that right? That kid is ordering us around."

"Boy, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to our Blood Witch Clan in such a tone?"

"He's so arrogant, he needs to be taught a lesson."

"Hahaha--"

The captain of the Imperial Guard couldn't help but let out a cold snort, saying, "Kid, don't be too arrogant. I was just careless and let you get away with it. Now I'm going to see just how capable you really are." With that, he drew his greatsword again and was about to step forward to fight Qin Xiaochuan again.

Qin Xiaochuan seemed not to have heard him at all, and didn't even glance at him. Instead, he stared intently at Yueyin, who looked puzzled, with a cold gaze.

"Wait a minute." Just as the captain of the Imperial Guard was about to jump towards Qin Xiaochuan, Yueyin suddenly shouted. Before anyone could react, he had already flashed in front of Qin Xiaochuan. Then, with lightning speed, he grabbed Qin Xiaochuan's wrist with one hand, while his black eyes were fixed on a skull-shaped witch's ring on Qin Xiaochuan's index finger.

"What's wrong with Yueyin?" Fengyin's confused voice rang out from behind, and a black figure flashed over.

"Fengyin, take a look at this ring." Yueyin gripped Qin Xiaochuan's arm tightly. Perhaps because he was too excited, his strength was unusually great, making Qin Xiaochuan's forearm ache slightly. But Qin Xiaochuan did not resist and let them examine the witch's ring.

"This is..." Feng Yin's expression changed immediately when he saw the Witch's Ring. Although his mouth was open, he couldn't say anything more.

"What's wrong, two Blood Shadow Guards?" the Imperial Guard captain asked, puzzled.

"It's the Ring of Witchcraft! It's the Ring of Witchcraft!" Moonshadow exclaimed excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the forest erupted in an uproar.

"What?" The Imperial Guard captain was clearly shocked as well. He quickly jumped onto the boulder, staring at the witch's ring on Qin Xiaochuan's finger, and asked incredulously, "Moon Shadow, are you...are you sure?"

"We've always guarded the Blood Witch King, and we've seen the Witch Ring many times." A strange light flickered in Yueyin's eyes. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Qin Xiaochuan and ask, "How did our Blood Witch Clan's sacred object end up in your hands? Who exactly are you?"
