Chapter 291 Crimson Awakening
Mo Qian had deliberately withheld warning about the numerous mechanisms scattered throughout the backyard.The ringing bells would likely alert Wei Yutian, forcing him to pause his ritual—buying Mo Qian precious additional time to reach and rescue Xiao Yu.The faint chiming from the backyard carried down into the hidden chamber, startling Bai Ai, who stood guard at the ritual room's entrance."I'll check outside! Stay here!"Channeling her internal energy, Bai Ai leapt up the steps.Pei Qing watched her go, a flicker of tension crossing her expression.The moment Bai Ai emerged from the hidden opening, she caught not only the scattered bell-ringing but also screams echoing from the front courtyard.Her eyes turned cold, irritation flaring at Su Di, who should have been standing guard at the side chamber door—why hadn't she reacted to such an obvious disturbance?Bai Ai rushed toward the side chamber entrance. The night wind howled past, but no trace of Su Di remained—only her fallen l
Chapter 290 Broken Cage
"Occasionally, I trade in antiques on the street, and through that, I've collected numerous unusual texts. During one of our conversations, she raised the topic of the Filthy Blood Cult unprompted.""From that point forward, she brought up the subject repeatedly whenever we spoke. Initially, I paid it little mind. Gradually, though, I noticed her attitude toward the Cult seemed troublingly... approving. She began describing various aspects of the Filthy Blood arts with startling detail...""Just today, she finally offered to introduce me to the Cult directly. She mentioned a hidden chamber within Wei Yutian's backyard, specifically constructed for practicing the Filthy Blood arts. She also revealed that Wei Yutian would be conducting a ritual there tonight, honoring the Five-Power God as part of his cultivation!"Mo Qian had rehearsed this account repeatedly in his mind, weaving the details into a seamless, convincing narrative. Finishing his account, he glanced at Shen Yanliu, watchi
Chapter 289 Midnight Interpellation
Mo Qian quickly reached the gates of the county office, still carrying Su Di. Stepping onto the stone steps, he called out, "Officer, I'm here to report a crime!"The dozing constable lifted his gaze, spotting Mo Qian with a woman slung over his shoulder, and his drowsy expression shifted to genuine shock. "What... exactly are you reporting?""A kidnapping!" Mo Qian declared, already striding past him into the government office grounds.The constable swallowed hard, calling after him, "Young man, are you filing a report, or turning yourself in?"A man rushing into the government office at midnight carrying an unconscious woman was more than even a seasoned constable knew how to handle.Ignoring the gatekeeper's confused questions entirely, Mo Qian glanced past the sleeping officer at the registration table and moved swiftly toward the corridor beside the main hall.This wasn't Mo Qian's first visit to the county office. He knew the path leading to the backyard lay just beyond that cor
Chapter 288 White Powder in the Wind
Mo Qian took a steadying breath, slowed his movements, and continued forward using his spiritual sense to detect and avoid any further hazards.He quickly scanned several nearby structures using his awareness, but each proved empty—so far, he'd found no sign of anyone throughout the entire backyard.Yet traps lay scattered everywhere, and though Mo Qian navigated around each one successfully, his anxiety mounted with every passing moment."Is she not even here?"The backyard of this mysterious residence felt like a haunted house—utterly empty of people, yet riddled with hidden dangers, clearly concealing some enormous secret.At that moment, rounding a corridor, Mo Qian spotted someone in the distance, standing with a lantern outside the door of a secluded side chamber beyond a rockery. In the darkness, the lantern glowed like a solitary eye.Mo Qian's figure flickered as he circled around behind the chamber. Scanning with his spiritual sense, he immediately detected an opening in the
Chapter 287 House on Stone Monkey Lane
The officer repeated aloud as he wrote, "Reporting party: Shang Hongye, guard, Yuanshun Escort Agency.""Alright, head back and wait for updates." He set down his pen, closed the notebook, and prepared to return to sleep."Sir, this is an urgent matter—""Urgent how?" the officer cut him off. "Our chief constable has traveled to the provincial office in the city on official business. Any urgent cases will have to wait until he returns.""I've recorded everything you've given me. No need to linger here further."The officer's irritation at Shang Hongye's continued presence was evident.With no other option, Shang Hongye sighed and left the government office.Every year-end, county chief constables were required to travel to the provincial capital to report the year's outcomes. Two days earlier, Xie Daohan had departed for Yuanyang Prefecture, taking Yang Zhen along with him.After leaving the escort agency, Mo Qian navigated the maze of alleys and courtyards through the night, eventual
Chapter 286 Desperate Pursuit
Mo Qian had only just drifted off to sleep when the commotion outside jolted him awake. His mind sharpened instantly, and he extended his spiritual awareness outward.His senses swept the area surrounding the martial arts field, extending nearly a hundred meters. Shang Hongye suddenly turned toward Xiao Zongting's courtyard, exclaiming in surprise, "That's Elder Xiao shouting!"He then led his patrol team racing toward the courtyard."Elder Xiao..." Something felt deeply wrong to Mo Qian. He threw off his blanket, leapt from bed, and in an instant was out of his own courtyard. Moving swiftly, he crossed the grounds, touched down briefly against a willow tree by the wall, and vaulted over the courtyard boundary.Moving with ghostlike speed, Mo Qian arrived at Xiao Zongting's backyard just as Shang Hongye stood atop the main hall's roof, with Zhu Xiaoqi and Xiao Zongting standing below in the courtyard.Only a few breaths had passed since Xiao Zongting's initial cry for help.Mo Qian's
