I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

However, this time, his attack was easily resolved by Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi swung his sword and directly cut off Elder Wu's walking stick.

The disciples of Qi Tian Zong used swords as pens and magic power as ink to write their bravery and determination on this battlefield.

The disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect were like mad beasts, constantly launching attacks in an attempt to break through the defenses of the Qi Tian Sect.

However, the disciples of Qi Tian Zong were not intimidated. They worked closely together, with perfect understanding, and each attack was extremely accurate.

Under the leadership of Zhao Qi, they were like a well-trained army, making the Blood Puppet Sect's attacks come to naught time and time again.

When Elder Wu saw this scene, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. He waved the scepter in his hand and muttered something.

Suddenly, a strange black mist rose from the Blood Puppet Sect’s position and spread towards the Qi Tian Sect.

"Everyone be careful, this is the secret technique of the Blood Puppet Sect, don't let yourself be touched by the black fog!"

Zhao Qi reminded his disciples loudly. He flashed and rushed to the edge of the black fog. The long sword in his hand swung out sword lights, cutting the black fog into pieces.

However, the black fog seemed endless, constantly pouring out from the Blood Puppet Sect's position. The disciples of the Qi Tian Sect began to feel a little powerless, their attack speed began to slow down, and loopholes appeared in their defense.

At this time, an unexpected person appeared. Zhu Ji, the woman who once betrayed Qi Tian Zong, now stood on the side of Qi Tian Zong.

She brandished the sword in her hand and started a fierce battle with the disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect.

"I once lost myself, but now, I want to make up for my past mistakes in my own way!"

Zhu Ji shouted loudly, and her sword light cut through the night sky like lightning, making the disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect terrified.

Zhao Qi was filled with emotion when he saw this scene. He did not expect that Zhu Ji would choose to stand on their side at this time.

He looked at Zhu Ji deeply, and then said loudly: "Well done, Zhu Ji! Tonight, we fight side by side!"

With the joining of Zhao Qi and Zhu Ji, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse.

The morale of the Qi Tian Sect's disciples was greatly boosted. Like a tiger descending from a mountain, they launched a fierce counterattack against the Blood Puppet Sect's position.

Under the fierce attack of the Qi Tian Sect, the disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect began to retreat.

When Elder Wu saw this scene, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that the Qitian Sect had such a strong fighting power.

"Haha!" Zhao Qi descended from the sky and landed in front of Elder Wu. "Elder Wu, are you in such a hurry to die?"

Elder Wu's face darkened: "Zhao Qi, don't be too proud! Today I will let you see the power of our Blood Puppet Sect!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the disciples behind him summoned puppet beasts one after another and rushed towards the disciples of Qi Tian Sect.

However, these puppet beasts were defeated one after another by the magic and swordsmanship of the Qi Tian Sect disciples.

Elder Wu was horrified upon seeing this, and he immediately used his signature skill - the "Thousand Puppets Formation", a unique trick in puppetry.

Countless puppets came from all directions and surrounded the disciples of Qi Tian Sect.

However, Zhao Qi was not afraid at all. He sneered, "It's just a trifle!" As he said that, he waved his hand, and a golden light flashed, directly breaking a big hole in the "Thousand Puppets Formation".

Elder Wu was horrified upon seeing this, and he quickly tried to escape with the remaining disciples.

However, Zhao Qi would not give him this opportunity. He swung his sword and a stream of sword energy directly knocked Elder Wu and his disciples to the ground.

"The Qi Tian Sect is mighty!" The disciples of the Qi Tian Sect shouted slogans one after another, their voices shaking the sky.

Elder Wu waved his scepter to try to save the situation, but it was too late. In the end, under the fierce attack of Qi Tian Sect, the Blood Puppet Sect had no choice but to retreat.

In the Holy Maiden Palace, Feng Qianjiao was leisurely sipping fairy tea, and outside the window was the beautiful fairyland scenery shrouded in clouds and mist.

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew in, with a small roll of paper tied to its feet. Feng Qianjiao untied the paper gracefully, glanced at the contents, and frowned slightly.

"Oh my, the Qi Tian Sect and the Xue Gui Sect are fighting again. This is really troublesome." Feng Qianjiao muttered and handed the note to the maid beside her. "It seems that I have to go there in person."

Not long after, Feng Qianjiao led the Holy Maiden Palace's guard team on the journey to Qi Tian Sect.

On the way, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Qi's face that always had a gentle smile, Lu Xueyao who was always making funny remarks, and Liu Ruyan who was always cold.

"I hope I can bring some peace to them this time," she thought to herself.

After arriving at Qitian Sect, Feng Qianjiao was taken directly to the main hall, where Zhao Qi and others had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Feng Qianjiao coming, Zhao Qi went up to her and said with a smile, "Lady Feng, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as charming as ever."

"Haha, Sect Master Zhao, you are too kind." Feng Qianjiao responded with a smile, "I came here this time because I hope that you, the Qi Tian Sect and the Xue Gui Sect, can resolve this dispute peacefully."

Zhao Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We don't want to fight, but the Blood Puppet Sect is really going too far. But since the Saint Maiden Palace is willing to mediate, we are of course willing to give them face."

Feng Qianjiao nodded: "Then I will go contact the Blood Puppet Sect. Both of you should calm down first and don't get into conflict again." After saying that, she turned and left the hall.

Inside the Holy Maiden Hall, Feng Qianjiao frowned, as she knew very well that the conflict between the Qi Tian Sect and the Blood Puppet Sect could not be resolved in a short time.

But the most important thing at the moment is to get both sides to temporarily cease fire and give this war-torn land a chance to breathe.

Therefore, Feng Qianjiao once again summoned Zhao Qi, the leader of Qi Tian Sect, and Wu Hanjiang, the elder of Xue Kui Sect, for negotiations.

This time, she decided to try a different approach. Instead of just persuading him, she used a little "tactic".

When Zhao Qi and Wu Hanjiang sat at the negotiation table again, Feng Qianjiao smiled and made an interesting suggestion.

"You two, why don't we have a 'literary duel'? Each side will send out three people to compete three times. The winner can get a mysterious gift from the Holy Maiden Palace. This way, we can show the strength of both factions and avoid more bloodshed."

Zhao Qi and Wu Hanjiang looked at each other and saw the intention in each other's eyes.

After all, such a competition can not only preserve strength, but also win the support of the Holy Maiden Palace. Why not do it?

Therefore, the two sides quickly reached an agreement and each selected their own disciples to participate in the competition. The Qitian Sect's disciples included Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan, and Han Feng, while the Xuekui Sect sent their elite disciples.

On the day the competition began, there was a huge crowd in front of the Holy Maiden Palace. Representatives from various sects came to watch the competition, and even some independent cultivators and mortals came to join in the fun after hearing the news.

The first match was between Lu Xueyao and a disciple of the Blood Puppet Sect. Lu Xueyao was very agile, like a fairy descending from the earth, while her opponent seemed a little clumsy. Within a few rounds, Lu Xueyao won easily. There were bursts of cheers from the audience, especially the disciples of the Qitian Sect who were cheering and jumping for joy.

The disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect had solemn expressions on their faces, as they knew that the next match would be even more difficult.

The second match was between Liu Ruyan and another disciple of the Blood Puppet Sect. This match was a close one, with both sides going back and forth and fighting fiercely.

But in the end, Liu Ruyan won the battle with great difficulty thanks to her superb swordsmanship and extraordinary perseverance.

At this time, the Qitian Sect had won two games in a row and only needed to win one more game to achieve the final victory. However, the Xuegui Sect was facing tremendous pressure.

The third match was between Han Feng and the last disciple of the Blood Puppet Sect. This match was crucial for both sides.

However, unexpectedly, the match turned out to be one-sided. Han Feng easily defeated his opponent with his strong strength and rich combat experience.

In the end, the Qitian Sect defeated the Xuegui Sect with a score of 3:0. The audience once again erupted in warm applause and cheers.

Feng Qianjiao watched this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew her "strategy" had succeeded.

However, Feng Qianjiao knew that this was only a temporary calm. The conflict between Qi Tian Zong and Xue Gui Zong still existed, and there were more challenges waiting for them in the future.

The early morning sun shines through the clouds and onto the main hall of the Qi Tian Sect.

Zhao Qi stood in front of the hall with a deep gaze, as if he was thinking about something important.

He knew in his heart that although a ceasefire agreement had been reached temporarily with the Blood Puppet Sect, it did not mean that the crisis had been resolved.

The puppetry on Zhu Ji is still a huge hidden danger, and he must find a way to remove this evil magic as soon as possible.

So Zhao Qi summoned the elders and disciples in the sect to discuss countermeasures together.

The hall was filled with people talking and expressing their opinions. Some people said that they should consult Master Tian from Yaowang Valley, as he had great medical skills and might be able to help.

Some people also suggested attacking the Blood Puppet Sect directly and forcing them to hand over the method to remove the puppet technique.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, attacking the Blood Puppet Sect is not a wise move. What we need now is peace, not war. As for asking Master Tian for advice, this is a good suggestion."

After that, he turned to Lu Xueyao and Han Feng and said, "Xueyao, Han Feng, the two of you go to Yaowang Valley and ask Master Tian to come and help. Remember, you must be polite and sincere, and you must not lose the style of our Qitian Sect."

The two men took the order and left, while Zhao Qi continued to discuss the security risks in the sect with the elders in the hall.

He knew very well that this incident had exposed some loopholes in the sect's defense and management, which must be remedied in a timely manner.

"First, we must strengthen the sect's defensive formation to prevent foreign enemies from easily invading."

Zhao Qi said seriously, "Secondly, we must strengthen the education and management of our disciples, and improve their vigilance and self-protection capabilities."

The elders nodded in agreement and began to discuss the specific implementation plan.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hall. Zhao Qi frowned and walked out of the hall quickly to check the situation.

A disciple ran over with an anxious look on his face: "Master! This is bad! Zhu Ji...she suddenly went crazy!"

Zhao Qi was shocked and followed the disciple to Zhu Ji's residence. He saw Zhu Ji's eyes were red and her face was distorted, as if she was in great pain.

She waved her arms wildly, trying to attack anyone who came close to her.

"Quick! Subdue her!" Zhao Qi ordered loudly.

Several disciples quickly stepped forward and tried to restrain Zhu Ji. However, Zhu Ji was surprisingly strong and broke free from their restraints and ran towards the main hall.

"Oh no! She is going to the main hall to destroy the formation!" an elder exclaimed.

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes, and he chased after her in a flash. He used his true energy and hit Zhu Ji's back with one palm. Zhu Ji groaned and fell forward to the ground.

Zhao Qi quickly stepped forward and pressed several acupuncture points on Zhu Ji, causing her to temporarily lose her ability to move. He took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Ji lying on the ground, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.

"Take her to the main hall," Zhao Qi ordered, "I want to personally interrogate the person behind her."

Several disciples carried Zhu Ji to the main hall. Zhu Ji had regained some consciousness at this time, and she looked at Zhao Qi with her eyes full of guilt and regret.

"Master Zhao...I..." Zhu Ji said with difficulty.

Zhao Qi waved his hand: "You don't have to say more, I know you are also a victim. Don't worry, I will remove this evil spell for you."

Zhu Ji nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that she had made a big mistake, but now she had a chance to make up for it.

At the same time, Lu Xueyao and Han Feng who went to Yaowang Valley also successfully invited Master Tian.

After Master Tian heard about Zhu Ji's situation, he agreed to go to Qi Tian Sect to help without saying a word.

As Master Tian displayed his magical powers, the puppetry on Zhu Ji was gradually removed.

Her eyes gradually became clear from being cloudy, as if she had seen the light again after a long period of darkness.

Zhu Ji's consciousness gradually returned, and she found herself lying on a soft couch in the main hall of Qi Tian Sect. Sect Master Zhao Qi and several elders were looking at her with concern.

"I...what's wrong with me?" Zhu Ji's voice trembled a little. She still clearly remembered that she was controlled by Elder Wu Hanjiang of the Blood Puppet Sect and did many things against her will.

Zhao Qi smiled and consoled her, "Zhu Ji, you were trapped by the puppetry of the Blood Puppet Sect, but now Master Tian has helped you to remove it. Don't worry, you are now free again."

Zhu Ji heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She sat up, lowered her head and silently recalled everything in the past, her heart full of regret.

"Master, I...I really don't know what I am doing. Those things were not my intention."

Zhu Ji's voice was choked with sobs. She looked up at Zhao Qi, her eyes full of apology and pleading, "Please believe me, I really did not betray the Qi Tian Sect."

Zhao Qi nodded, showing his understanding: "Zhu Ji, we all believe you. You are also a victim in this incident. The most important thing now is that you have to rest well and recover as soon as possible."

Zhu Ji looked at Zhao Qi with gratitude, and felt even more guilty. (End of this chapter)
