Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qin Feng was on his way to the Blood Qi Forest. He acted as if nothing had happened, but he was on high alert. He had already gathered Qi in his palms, ready to take action at any time.
However, when Qin Feng followed them all the way to the entrance of the Blood Qi Forest, he saw nothing but Bai Chen and the rest whispering to each other along the way with a mysterious look on their faces.
Such an abnormal behavior made Qin Feng secretly puzzled.
This was a mountain range with cliffs hundreds of thousands of feet high on three sides, and only one side was a flat ground.
This so-called flat ground was only two meters wide, and beyond that was also a cliff hundreds of thousands of feet high. A two-meter-wide stone tablet stood at the two-meter-wide entrance.
Between the stone tablet that was so tall that one couldn't see the end of it, there were four vivid words "Blood Qi Forest" engraved by predecessors. There was a circular stone hole under the words, which was the keyhole to the stone tablet that opened the door to the Blood Qi Forest.
When Qin Feng kept paying attention to the scenes outside the Blood Qi Forest, Bai Chen had already walked to the front of the stone tablet. She took out the circular key that emitted a white glow and inserted it into the keyhole.
The moment the key was inserted, a loud sound was heard from the stone tablet. It slowly moved away, and the dense mountain forest in the Blood Qi Forest appeared in front of everyone.
Bai Chen didn't enter the Blood Qi Forest. She just stood outside the door and signaled to the three youths and four middle-aged men with a sinister look. She deliberately said loudly, "I hope you won't let us down. Kill the Blood Qi Magical Beasts and return with glory!"
When she saw the back of Qin Feng, who was the last to enter the Blood Qi Forest, a sinister look appeared in her eyes. She snorted coldly in her heart, "Qin Feng, aren't you the Patriarch of the Swords Sect? Didn't you say that entering the Blood Qi Forest and killing the Blood Qi Magical Beasts is your duty? I want you to never return! "
After Qin Feng was the last to enter the Blood Aura Forest, Bai Chen didn't close the stone monument's door. Instead, she looked anxiously at the Blood Aura Forest inside the stone monument from time to time as if she was waiting for someone to come out.
As Bai Chen kept looking at the Blood Aura Forest, a few people suddenly walked out of it in a hurry.
There were a total of seven people. The moment they left the Blood Aura Forest, Bai Chen immediately activated the stone monument with the key and locked the door to the Blood Aura Forest.
Upon seeing the locked door to the Blood Aura Forest, Bai Chen and the seven people who had walked out of the Blood Aura Forest looked at the huge stone monument smugly and chided sinisterly.
"Humph! Qin Feng, you're just a mere Patriarch of the Swords Sect. You want to fight with us? You're digging your own grave. "
"Yes! He even dared to boast shamelessly that this was something that cultivators should do! Bah, now I'll let you have a good taste of a Blood Qi Magical Beast. I'll let you know that what you should do is to become food for a Magical Beast! "
"That's right! He doesn't know his place. Even first-grade Sword Venerables like us don't dare to enter the Blood Aura Forest to kill Blood Qi Magical Beasts. He's just a disciple of the Fallen Sword Sect. There's only one outcome for him if he goes in — death! "
While everyone was scolding Qin Feng, Bai Chen looked up at the sky and said with a sinister expression, "Everyone, it's about time. Senior Brother Qinghe's father should be here by now!"
When they heard Bai Chen mention Qinghe's father, a young man in white clothes gloated and said proudly, "Senior Sister Bai is right. My father should be here by now. Oh right, Senior Sister Bai, will the only Supreme Elder of Blood Aura City come to the Castellan's mansion today?"
When Bai Chen heard the young man in white mention the Supreme Elder of Blood Aura City, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Junior Brother Qinghe, don't worry about me. I've already reported to the Supreme Elder three days ago. He should be here by now."
When he heard Bai Chen say that the Supreme Elder would be at the Castellan's mansion today, the young man in white clothes was full of excitement and said, "Senior Sister Bai, as long as you can let Xue Mei marry me, the entire Blood Aura City will be yours! I will never go back on my word! "
When Bai Chen heard the young man in white mention the City Lord of Blood Aura City, a satisfied expression appeared on her face. She said anxiously, "In that case, let's return to the Castellan's mansion as soon as possible and complete our plan!"
With that, everyone left the Blood Aura Forest with Bai Chen and returned to the Castellan's mansion.
It turned out that the seven people who had just come out of the Blood Aura Forest were none other than the seven people who had promised to enter the Blood Aura Forest to kill Blood Qi Magical Beasts in front of Xue Mei.
They did not come from any of the sects in the world. They were all from the Clear River Sword Sect.
There was only one reason why they had disguised themselves as people from the seven major sword sects. It was to conspire with Bai Chen in the Castellan's mansion of Blood Aura City. They did not set up a trap and made Xue Mei sign the contract to sell herself to the Clear River Sword Sect. Bai Chen's reward for helping the Clear River Sword Sect with this matter was the position of the Castellan of Blood Aura City.
The reason why Bai Chen felt guilty when she asked Xue Mei to sign the contract in the Castellan's mansion was because she had tampered with the contract.
Bai Chen and Qing He were right. When they returned to the Castellan's mansion and arrived at the entrance, they heard a man's rough voice coming from the mansion.
When they stood at the entrance of the mansion, they saw a black shadow running over from afar and appearing in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Bai Chen recognized the black-robed man the moment she saw the black shadow that suddenly appeared. She immediately bowed and respectfully said, "Greetings, Grand Elder!"
It turned out that the man in black was none other than the Supreme Elder whom Bai Chen had mentioned at the entrance of the Blood Aura Forest.
The Supreme Elder had a dignified expression. He glanced at Bai Chen and entered the Castellan's mansion in a blink of an eye.
After the Supreme Elder entered the Castellan's mansion, Bai Chen and the others followed closely behind and entered the mansion.
In the main hall of the Castellan's mansion, Xue Mei sat in the castellan's seat in the middle of the hall. A middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing sat on the right of the hall. There were two chests of silver coins in front of the middle-aged man, and two youths stood on either side of the silver coins.
Xue Mei looked at the middle-aged man with bewilderment before looking at the two chests of silver coins in the hall. She asked the middle-aged man in confusion, "Sect Master Qing, may I ask why Sect Master Qing has brought so many silver coins?"
It turned out that the middle-aged man Xue Mei was asking in surprise was none other than the sect master of the Clear River Sword Sect, Qing Shanzi.
Just as Xue Mei was wondering why Qing Shanzi was here and had just asked about it, another man in black walked in from outside the hall.
When she saw the black-robed man enter the hall, Xue Mei's expression became even more shocked. At this moment, she hastily stood up and walked in front of the person. She bowed respectfully and said, "Xue Mei greets the Grand Elder! I didn't know that the Grand Elder would suddenly arrive, so I failed to welcome you. Please forgive me, Grand Elder! "
