Chapter 170 Maintaining Peace
Chapter 170 Maintaining Peace
Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and Qi Yushuang, a family of three, were enjoying a cozy lunch at a small restaurant in Beitun Village.
Mu Xuerou was sleeping peacefully in Qi Yushuang's arms, surrounded by laughter and joy.
Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps and screams from the villagers came from outside.
"Run! The soldiers are coming!"
A woman ran while shouting loudly.
The villagers scattered and fled, plunging the entire village into chaos.
However, Qiu Ziyue and the others did not move, remaining quietly seated as if none of this concerned them.
"Why aren't you running?" a passing villager asked anxiously.
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, a hint of determination in her eyes: "We have our own plans."
“Villagers, don’t run away. Go about your business as if nothing happened. I can make sure you are safe.”
"Really"?
Some villagers questioned the situation but scattered and hid in secluded corners.
Soon after, a group of soldiers in official uniforms rushed into the small restaurant.
Their footsteps were heavy, and their eyes were fierce; they were clearly not benevolent people.
The leading officer shouted, "Hand over your valuables!"
Qi Yuxuan frowned, but did not speak.
Qi Yushuang hugged her daughter tightly, looking wary.
Qiu Ziyue calmly stood up, a cold smile on her face.
"I have no money," Qiu Ziyue said casually.
The officer's face immediately turned ferocious, and he sneered, "No money is fine, but how about these two young ladies come up the mountain with us?"
Qi Yushuang's expression changed, and she was about to speak when Qiu Ziyue stopped her.
She gently waved her hand, signaling everyone to calm down.
"I advise you to stop now. Is it not too late?" Qiu Ziyue's voice was as cold as a knife.
"Haha, you want us to back down? Just the four of you can't take on our whole team," the leading soldier said with a laugh.
Just as Qi Yuxuan and Mu Guangcheng were about to make their move, Qiu Ziyue gave them a wink.
"Haha, the two young ladies are stunningly beautiful. Why don't you have some fun with us, and I'll spare the lives of the entire village? How about it?"
Qi Yuxuan raised his sword and slit the officer's throat.
The speed was so fast that no one could see the move clearly; all that was seen was a flash of cold light, and the officer fell to the ground.
Just as the officers and soldiers were dumbfounded, Qiu Ziyue whistled softly.
In an instant, a group of figures dressed in black emerged from the surrounding rooftops, behind the trees, and in the alleys.
These people moved swiftly and were agile; they were disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect who had been given the Age-Aging Pill by Qiu Ziyue.
"The Blood Fiend Sect is here, who dares to act recklessly!"
The commander shouted sternly.
The officers and soldiers were stunned; they hadn't expected to encounter such a powerful opponent.
"Blood Talisman, use your most ruthless moves to deal with these madmen. Afterwards, I'll give you a few more antidotes."
Qiu Ziyue grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open, saying as she did so.
"Blood Talisman, obey my command," the leader, who called out Blood Talisman, bowed and said.
The Blood Fiend Sect disciples leaped up and used their most ruthless and bizarre moves to deal with the soldiers.
They moved like ghosts, their attacks were incredibly fierce, and in just a few rounds they routed the soldiers.
Despite their large numbers, the officers and soldiers were no match for the Blood Fiend Sect disciples.
The battle ended quickly; the Blood Fiend Sect disciples did not harm any innocent bystanders, but merely subdued the government troops.
Qiu Ziyue stepped forward and coldly looked at the minor leader lying on the ground.
"Tell your master not to even think about invading again."
Qiu Ziyue warned.
The officer, pale-faced, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I won't dare to do it again."
"Remember, I'm staying here. If you dare to cause trouble again, you won't be so lucky next time. Do you understand?"
"Yes, great-aunt, great-grandmother, please spare us," the little leader begged.
With Qi Yuxuan's shout of "Get out!", the soldiers fled in panic.
The villagers gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Qiu Ziyue and her group.
"Thanks to you all, we wouldn't know what to do otherwise," an elderly villager said gratefully.
Qiu Ziyue smiled and waved her hand: "This is what we should do."
After this unexpected incident, Beitun Village returned to its former tranquility.
Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and Qi Yushuang continued their lunch, as if everything that had just happened was just a minor incident.
"It seems our journey is even more exciting than we imagined," Qi Yuxuan said with a smile.
“That’s right,” Qiu Ziyue nodded in agreement.
As night fell, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan found a vacant house to stay in, and Qiu Ziyue gave the landlord a flying coin.
The homeowner was a very simple and honest woman. She quickly said no, you've already helped us drive away the soldiers, how can I take your money?
Qiu Ziyue insisted on giving in to her sister-in-law, saying, "It's a chaotic time, not easy. I'm going to stay here to give birth, and I'll be troubling you for quite a while."
The elder sister-in-law glanced at Qiu Ziyue's slightly protruding belly, understood immediately, and accepted the money.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan were both exhausted and went to bed early.
The night was deep when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan quickly put on their clothes.
Through the window, they saw torches flickering, and a gang of robbers began breaking into the villagers' homes, burning, killing, and looting.
Qiu Ziyue immediately whistled, and Xue Fu led the Blood Fiend Sect disciples to her.
Qiu Ziyue said, "I know you are smart people, you should understand what I want you to do?"
"Yes".
Blood Talisman responded immediately and led the Blood Fiend Sect disciples to rush outside.
In the darkness, the Blood Fiend Sect disciples moved like shadows, their actions swift and precise.
Their moves are bizarre and ruthless, each one carrying deadly power.
Although the bandits were numerous, they were no match for these well-trained experts.
Blood Talisman charged into the enemy ranks first, wielding his longsword with impenetrable speed, each swing bringing forth a burst of bloody light.
His swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, and he instantly felled several bandits.
The other disciples were not to be outdone, each displaying their unique skills, either using palm strikes to send enemies flying or employing unpredictable footwork to sneak up behind them and launch a surprise attack.
The battle was extremely fierce, but the Blood Fiend Sect disciples cooperated seamlessly, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.
They quickly divided and surrounded the bandits, preventing them from putting up an effective resistance.
Despite the bandits' attempts to fight back, they were quickly rendered incapable of fighting under the powerful suppression of the Blood Fiend Sect disciples.
Seeing that things were not going well, a bandit leader tried to escape, but was grabbed by Xue Fu.
He stared coldly at the other person, his eyes revealing endless chill.
Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?
The voice of the blood talisman was icy and chilling.
The bandit leader, pale-faced and trembling, begged for mercy:
"Great hero, spare our lives! We will never dare to do it again!"
Blood Talisman sneered and waved his hand to signal the other disciples to stop.
The Blood Fiend Sect disciples quickly subdued all the bandits and tied them up tightly.
Blood Talisman stepped forward and coldly looked at the bandits lying on the ground.
“You’d better behave yourselves. This isn’t a place where you can do whatever you want,” he warned.
The bandits, their faces ashen, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we'll never dare to do it again."
