Chapter 655: Chapter 195: Daoist Priest Fan Arrives, Qiulong County Gains Fair Skies! (10,000-character mega Chapter, please subscribe)_6

However, he had not anticipated the Magistrate’s death to be so tragic.

It made him shiver uncontrollably.

"Daoist Priest Fan... what shall we do next?" Head Arrestor Liu asked timidly.

Fan Wu replied, "Purge Qiulong County of all Blood Gu Sect disciples."

...

At the same time.

"Did you hear any strange noises?" A Blood Gu Sect disciple dressed in black robes frowned and turned to another disciple, asking, "I thought I heard some sounds, like something exploded."

The other Blood Gu Sect disciple responded, "Strange sounds? I didn’t hear anything. And in this dilapidated Qiulong County, what could possibly explode?"

"The weapons workshop isn’t particularly far from us. If it exploded, I could see it with my own eyes from here."

After speaking, he continued, "Let’s not worry about that for now. Out of over a hundred people, how many are not yet cleansed?"

"Probably seven or eight!"

"All right, as long as we clean up the remaining seven or eight people and toss them into the Blood Pond, they can become nourishment for the Gu deity! Dying this way could be considered an honor for such ordinary folks."

While conversing, the two Blood Gu Sect disciples cast their gazes forward.

In front of them was a pond, but the water in this pond was not ordinary water—it was a vast expanse of blood! The blood was as thick as magma and emitted rolling steam, radiating such intense heat that one could feel it even from a distance.

This was the Blood Gu Sect’s Blood Pond!

Next to the Blood Pond were several Qiulong County commoners with their hands and feet bound, along with other Blood Gu Sect disciples who were using special water to cleanse their bodies.

The Blood Pond could not be contaminated in the slightest; any pollution would mean the Gu deity raised would not be of high quality and might even fail to mature properly.

Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect bustled about near the Blood Pond.

Most of them were ordinary sect disciples who knew no cultivation techniques.

Only three Blood Gu Sect cultivators were guarding the place.

After all, even for the Blood Gu Sect, which boasted over a million members, the cultivators were considered core members and were not a dime a dozen.

"Whew! Done!" After the last Qiulong County commoner had been cleaned,

A grim smile spread across the face of a Blood Gu Sect disciple named Tú.

Looking at one of the Qiulong County commoners, he lifted his leg to kick the person into the Blood Pond.

Whoosh!!!

Just then, a piercing sound tore through the air.

Thud—

The Blood Gu Sect disciple who was about to kick a Qiulong Temple commoner had his thigh impaled by a Red Jade Short Sword.

Agonizing pain struck in an instant, causing him to let out a wretched scream.

But the Red Jade Short Sword, which had pierced his thigh, immediately reversed direction, tracing a faint red arc in mid-air and striking lightning-fast into his throat.

"Ugh! Heh... ugh..." The Blood Gu Sect disciple hurriedly clutched his neck, only to find his palms soaked with blood—his hands were dyed a bright red by the warm blood.

Blood spurted from his neck wound, even shooting out a couple of meters. His face was filled with confusion and terror.

This sudden turn of events caught the attention of all the Blood Gu Sect disciples, who were uniformly shocked and alarmed!

"Who goes there?!" One Blood Gu Sect disciple cried out in alarm, "Who dares to cause trouble on Blood Gu Sect’s turf?!"

Someone was in a hurry and said, "Quick, pull that guy away, don’t let his blood contaminate the Blood Pond!"

"There, over there! It’s that woman!!"

Eventually, someone noticed who had made a move, because the Red Jade Short Sword had flown back into that person’s hand.

That person was none other than Yun Jiuqing!!

"It’s the Blood Gu Sect again," Yun Jiuqing’s delicate eyebrows knitted tightly. Earlier, when Daoist Priest Fan had suddenly left, she, along with Xing Fengzi and Liu Feng, realized that something in Qiulong County was slightly amiss.

Thus, they decided to take a short stroll around Qiulong County and then, they stumbled upon this strange place.

There was no helping it; the scent of blood emanating from the Blood Gu Sect’s Blood Pond was far too conspicuous.

Any cultivator with even a little bit of skill

could hardly ignore it.

At that time, they didn’t know what was going on, only wanting to come over and see what exactly was the matter. Now that they were here, Yun Jiuqing understood that it was the Blood Gu Sect causing trouble again!

Especially when she saw the Blood Gu Sect’s disciples trying to lay hands on the innocent civilians, Yun Jiuqing could hardly contain herself. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

So...

She made a move!

"That woman must be a cultivator!" a Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect with the knowledge of witchcraft said with a deeply sinister expression as he stared at Yun Jiuqing in the distance.

He said to his two companions, "She must be one of the fish that slipped through the net when we were clearing out the cultivators in Qiulong County before. Let’s take her down together! Kill her! We absolutely cannot let her desecrate the Blood Pond, we cannot allow her to hinder us from nurturing the Gu God!"

This Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect, along with the other two, were all cultivators.

They stared at Yun Jiuqing with a predatory gaze.

Just as they were about to make their move, a faint coughing sound suddenly arose: "I, for one, am not too fond of ambushing others. Giving you a heads-up before I act shouldn’t count as an ambush, right?"

What?!?!

The Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect were startled and quickly turned around to look behind them.

Then they saw several talismans flying towards them!

Boom!!!

The fight by the Blood Pond had instantly erupted, and this was precisely why Fan Wu was in no rush.

Because Fan Wu could hear the commotion here.

He knew what was happening here.

Time.

Passed.

Unbeknownst to them, it had reached dusk, and after Fan Wu’s thorough cleansing, all the Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect in Qiulong County, including those scum who consorted with the Blood Gu Sect

had all been eradicated by Fan Wu!

In just half a day, Qiulong County had over two thousand more corpses!

And...

All of them deserved their deaths!
