Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 47 Blood Refining

The main hall of the Jiang family.

Song Yan and Li Qingfeng returned to Qin Ying's side and sat up straight.

"Is it an illusion?"

Li Qingfeng stared in astonishment at the paper figure in Song Yan's hand: "Could it be a demonic beast?"

Among humans, there are very few cultivators who specialize in illusion magic.

"do not know."

Song Yan shook his head: "I encountered these paper figures before during a mission..."

"But back then there were three demonic cultivators, whom I killed before the paper man appeared."

"This time seems a little different..."

The little snake, seemingly having heard something interesting, peeked out from the sleeve, its blue-gold snake eyes peering out.

Suddenly, the people in the hall erupted in chaos.

"The auspicious time has come!"

Someone in the hall shouted, and from outside in the village came the sound of suona horns.

With gongs and drums banging and flutes playing, it was quite a lively scene.

Qin Ying suddenly stood up and walked outside, with Song Yan and Li Qingfeng naturally following closely behind.

It's unclear when it started, but fog gradually settled over the village.

The moss on the eaves and corners of the walls began to get damp, and dew condensed on the ivy, showing faint signs of turning red.

"..."

Figures floated in the mist. A group of villagers dressed in festive clothes, each holding a suona horn and gong, slowly walked over.

Everyone's face was beaming with exaggerated joy.

Music was playing in front, and eight sedan chair bearers were carrying a bridal sedan chair on their shoulders.

Further back were the women from the village who accompanied them.

The eight-bearer sedan chair landed steadily in front of the Jiang family's gate.

"what?"

Xiao He let out a soft "hmm," tilted her head, and her blue-gold eyes sparkled.

The curtains of the bridal sedan chair moved without wind, and crimson mist seeped from underneath. Qin Ying's fingertips condensed into frost as she shielded Song and Li behind her.

Thick blood flowed slowly from top to bottom, eventually dissolving the entire bridal sedan chair!
The person sitting in the sedan chair was not the bride, but a huge blood-red cocoon.

“Yanyan, there’s a girl inside, her scent is familiar…we might have seen her before.”

"..."

Song Yan looked at the blood-red cocoon, his expression solemn.

Based on what Qin Ying said, Gu Qingqing came here alone to carry out the mission and then disappeared without a trace, so the girl in this group must be Gu Qingqing.

sieve--

Qin Ying's fingertips transformed into icy blades, slicing off a corner of the enormous blood cocoon.

A corner of the blood cocoon was cut off, revealing its inner appearance.

Dense, blood-red threads extended inward, adhering to a layer of solidified blue-white spiritual energy.

Gu Qingqing closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her gentle and serene face appearing out of place amidst the blood.

"Junior Sister Gu..."

The villagers surrounded the three men, their expressions ferocious, muttering, "Just as I thought..."

"I knew you guys were here to cause trouble..."

Several middle-aged villagers opened their mouths stiffly, and a few hoarse sounds rolled out from their throats.

"Uh……"

On the forehead, cheeks, and neck of the middle-aged villager, there were irregular fleshy growths and bulges.

"Peach Blossom Village..."

"The land of immortals..."

It was as if something was wriggling beneath his skin and blood vessels.

"..."

"Ascended to Immortality..."

"careful!"

boom! ! !
In the darkness of night, streaks of blinding fire suddenly appeared, followed by deafening explosions that echoed across the entire Peach Blossom Village.

The roar was like a surging tide, spreading wildly in all directions.

"..." Li Qingfeng opened his arms, and a blazing fire elemental energy enveloped the three of them.

The surrounding houses collapsed under the impact of the explosion, sending bricks and rubble flying everywhere.

Through the transparent, flowing spiritual energy, Song Yan looked around.

All the villagers in Peach Blossom Village walked slowly toward them like zombies, their eyes filled with bloodlust.

Strangely, the recent anomaly did not leave any place in the area stained with blood.

Song Yan's gaze sharpened as he saw two paper figures left behind where the two men had originally stood.

A few wisps of pure blood energy floated slowly, drifting towards the tip of the incense burner.

Blue frost surged in Qin Ying's palm.

hum-

Her palms were slightly open, and a cold light spread outwards.

As the frost swept by, all the villagers were frozen by the cold air, collapsing and frozen in place.

There wasn't even a scream.

Qin Ying frowned even more deeply as she gazed into the distance at the tip of the incense burner.

Amidst the thick smoke and flames, two figures were slowly walking towards them.

"My name is Jiang Xiao. I greet you three fellow Daoists."

Jiang Xiao's clothes were disheveled and loose, and he didn't look like a so-called immortal being at all...

Beside him, Bai Yulu, dressed provocatively, placed the tip of her index finger between her lips, gently licking something.

"On such a joyous day, why are you attacking our fellow villagers for no reason? Could it be... that you intend to abduct the bride?"

hum-

Qin Ying's overwhelming spiritual pressure was no longer concealed, instantly sweeping across the entire Peach Blossom Village. At the same time, spiritual power rapidly condensed beside her, and two ice-blue sword lights shot towards Jiang Xiao's face.

Jiang Xiao's smile faded, but she remained calm. A ball of filthy blood condensed in her hand, and a flash of blood-red light appeared at her fingertips.

The filthy blood, mixed with blue sword light, circled around him before shooting out in the opposite direction, colliding with another sword aura and dissipating with a bang.

"Oh dear, the Dongyuan Sect is a prestigious sect, how could they be so bloodthirsty..."

Jiang Xiao suddenly smiled cruelly: "But don't worry... I can bring the villagers back to life."

He gently formed a hand seal.

"..."

The villagers, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly began to tremble. Then, one after another, they began to wriggle on the ground in an extremely bizarre manner.

The sounds of bones snapping and flesh shifting rose and fell.

Before long, all the villagers stood up again.

Their skin gradually cracked, and their bright red blood began to burn.

A dangerous smile crept onto Jiang Xiao's lips.

Bang!
Suddenly, a villager's body exploded in the crowd.

The moment the explosion spread, the bones and blood began to contract.

Qin Ying frowned, still not in the mood to speak, and several icy blue sword lights shot towards Jiang Xiaoqi.

Jiang Xiao raised his hands slightly, and the blood, which had been drifting, condensed into a solid blood bead in his hands, just like a pill.

A surge of blood energy suddenly erupted around him, and the filthy blood swirled around him like quicksand, completely engulfing the frost-covered spiritual energy.

The towering blood-red light was oppressive, and the stench engulfed the entire Peach Blossom Village...

Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!
At this moment, all the villagers, who had been like walking corpses, suddenly dropped their weapons and knelt down in Jiang Xiao's direction.

Crimson, round drops of blood emerged from the brows and hearts of every kneeling villager, spreading outwards.

Jiang Xiao tapped her fingertip lightly.

A flying sword, its entire body wreathed in black flames, emerged from the bottom of the ancient well and hovered beside him.

"..."

Blood light erupted from all four directions, and a blood energy array enveloped the entire Peach Blossom Village.

At the center of the great formation was the ancient well.

"Blood refines the mortal realm..."

His eyes were bloodshot, and his smile was arrogant.

"Help me ascend to immortality!"
