I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

"If you want to save them, hand over your cultivation resources and spirit stone mines. Otherwise, the blood corpses will continue to besiege Zhuzi Kingdom and you will never have peace!" Wu Hanjiang's voice was as cold as the wind and full of threats.

After hearing this, Zhao Qi couldn't help but sneer: "Wu Hanjiang, you are too arrogant. Do you think you can make me surrender with these blood corpses?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice in the communication talisman sounded again: "Humph, Zhao Qi, don't be ungrateful. I'm sure you have heard of the strength of my Blood Puppet Sect. If you don't want your sect and Zhuzi Country to suffer a catastrophic disaster, then hand over what I want."

Zhao Qi frowned. He knew that Wu Hanjiang was a cunning and cruel opponent. This threat was obviously not a simple threat. He had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible to deal with this sudden crisis.

However, facing Wu Hanjiang's arrogance, Zhao Qi did not show the slightest fear. On the contrary, his eyes flashed with determination, as if he was brewing some plan.

"Wu Hanjiang, your threats are useless to me." Zhao Qi said calmly.

"Since its founding, our Qitian Sect has never surrendered to any force. You want cultivation resources and spiritual stone veins? Humph, then it depends on whether you have the ability to take them."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the communication talisman turned into ashes and dissipated in the air. Zhao Qi stood up and looked out of the hall with a determined look, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Soon after, Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan, Bai Wei, Han Feng and other capable disciples arrived one after another, all with solemn looks on their faces.

"Master, what happened?" Lu Xueyao asked first.

Zhao Qi briefly told them Wu Hanjiang's threat, and the disciples were all indignant after hearing it.

"This Wu Hanjiang is so arrogant!" Han Feng said angrily, "Sect Master, we must not succumb to his threats!"

"Yes, we must fight for the safety of our sect and Zhuzi Kingdom!" Lu Xueyao also said firmly.

Inside the Qitian Sect's main hall, Zhao Qi stood alone in the empty hall, his eyes fixed on the communication talisman in his hand that had dimmed.

Wu Hanjiang's cold and arrogant voice seemed to still echo in the hall, and every word was like a needle piercing his heart.

"If Zhao Qi does not hand over the cultivation resources and spirit stone mines, the blood corpses will continue to besiege Zhuzi Kingdom and cause endless disasters..." This was Wu Hanjiang's threat, naked and merciless.

A sneer appeared on Zhao Qi's lips. He would certainly not be intimidated by such a threat.

However, he could not ignore the trump card in Wu Hanjiang's hand - the blood corpse army. These undead creatures controlled by Wu Hanjiang were indeed an irresistible nightmare for ordinary troops and civilians.

"This old fox really has a good plan." Zhao Qi muttered to himself, with a gleam in his eyes. "Want my cultivation resources and spirit stone mines? Humph, it depends on whether you are lucky enough to get them!"

Although he said so, Zhao Qi also knew that Wu Hanjiang was not just talking nonsense. The threat of the blood corpse was real, and he had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

"Wu Hanjiang has sent a threat." Zhao Qi said simply and clearly, "He wants our cultivation resources and spirit stone veins, otherwise he will let the blood corpses continue to besiege Zhuzi Country."

"That old bastard!" Lu Xueyao cursed angrily, "How could he do this?"

"That's what he did." Zhao Qi smiled bitterly, "And we can't ignore his threat."

"Then what should we do?" Liu Ruyan asked, "Do we really have to hand over our cultivation resources and spirit stone mines?"

"Of course not." Zhao Qi said firmly, "But we also have to find a way to deal with the threat of the blood corpse."

"Then how should we deal with it?" Bai Wei asked with a frown.

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to strengthen Zhuzi's defenses to ensure that the blood corpses cannot easily break through the city walls. Second, we need to find methods or items that can restrain the blood corpses."

"Then let's split up!" Han Feng suggested, "Senior Sister Liu and I will go to strengthen the city defense, and Senior Sister Lu and Senior Sister Bai will go to find a way to restrain the blood corpse."

Lu Xueyao slammed the table and said angrily: "That old man is really too much! How can our Qitian Sect easily succumb to his threats?"

"That's right!" Han Feng also said indignantly, "As cultivators, we should protect the common people. How can we bow to the evil forces?"

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, and said in a gentle voice with determination: "Master, we must not hand over the resources and mineral veins. They are the foundation of the sect and the guarantee for fighting against foreign enemies in the future."

A trace of disdain flashed across Bai Wei's cold and beautiful face: "Wu Hanjiang is just relying on the name of the Blood Puppet Sect to bully the weak. Does he really think that there is no one left in our Qitian Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueyao immediately stepped forward and said indignantly: "Master, we can't let Wu Hanjiang succeed! I am willing to lead my disciples to Zhuzi Country to fight the blood corpse and defend our homeland!"

Han Feng followed closely behind, waving his fist in support: "Xue Yao is right! As cultivators, how can we watch ordinary people suffer? I am willing to fight alongside her!"

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and raised her doubts in her gentle voice: "It is brave to fight against the blood corpses directly, but we also need to consider a foolproof plan. After all, there are a large number of blood corpses, and they are fearless. We need to think of a more reliable way."

Bai Wei also nodded in agreement: "Ruyan is right. We can't act blindly and impulsively. We have to think of a strategy that can protect Zhuzi Country and reduce our losses."

Zhao Qi felt relieved when listening to the disciples' speeches. He knew that these disciples were the pride of the sect, and their courage and wisdom would be the key to fighting Wu Hanjiang.

So, he smiled and said, "You all have a point. It is feasible to fight against the blood corpse directly, but it does require a huge price. Therefore, we must be fully prepared before taking action."

At this point, Zhao Qi paused, and then said: "I think we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, we need to find a method or magic weapon that can restrain the blood corpse; on the other hand, we also need to strengthen the defense of Zhuzi Kingdom to ensure that we can resist the blood corpse attack."

The disciples nodded in agreement. A sly light flashed in Lu Xueyao's eyes.

"Master, you are right. We can split up and send people to find a way or magic weapon to restrain the blood corpse; on the other hand, we can strengthen the defense of Zhuzi Country."

Han Feng also added excitedly: "Yes! We can also unite with other sects to fight against Wu Hanjiang and the Blood Puppet Sect! I believe they don't want to see the peace of the cultivation world being destroyed!"

Liu Ruyan and Bai Wei also put forward their own suggestions: "We can use the sect's teleportation formation to quickly move troops," "We can also set up some traps and formations to deal with the blood corpses."

Seeing the disciples' indignation, Zhao Qi felt relieved. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, calm down. I summoned you here not to compromise with Wu Hanjiang. We need to discuss a countermeasure that will protect the resources of the sect and ensure the safety of Zhuzi Country."

"Master, what good idea do you have?" Lu Xueyao asked curiously.

Zhao Qi smiled mysteriously: "Come closer and listen."

The disciples came closer, and Zhao Qi whispered his plan. As he spoke, the disciples gradually showed understanding and admiration on their faces.

"Great! In this way, we can not only resolve the threat from Wu Hanjiang, but also turn the tables!" Han Feng said excitedly.

"Well, this is a great idea." Liu Ruyan also nodded in praise.

Bai Wei's eyes flashed with a cunning light: "Sect Master, this time I will make sure Wu Hanjiang loses more than he gains!"

Lu Xueyao was even more eager to try: "Master, when do we take action?"

Zhao Qi looked at his disciples' high morale and felt relieved. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm: "This matter needs to be considered carefully. We need to plan it carefully. Go back and prepare first, and gather in the main hall tomorrow."

The disciples retreated in response and left the hall to make preparations. Zhao Qi stood on the high platform, looking deeply into the sky, secretly thinking about the next plan in his mind.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past the entrance of the hall. It was a young disciple who ran in in a panic: "Master! It's bad! Outside... there's a strange person outside!"

"Strange person?" Zhao Qi frowned, "Bring him in."

After a while, the young disciple led a man into the hall. The man was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, a crooked Taoist hat on his head, and his face was covered with dirt and grass, looking quite embarrassed.

“I am a traveler from afar. I passed by your place and came to visit the leader of the Qi Tian Sect.” As soon as the man opened his mouth, a strong rural atmosphere came to his face.

Zhao Qi looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, feeling confused. He looked him up and down, and asked, "May I know your name? What brings you to my Qitian Sect?"

The man scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Hey, my name is Niu Er, and I'm a wandering Taoist priest. This time I came here to ask you something, Sect Master."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhao Qi asked curiously.

Niu Er looked around and made sure that there was no one else around before he said mysteriously, "Sect Master, do you know what happened in the cultivation world recently?"

Zhao Qi's heart was moved. Could it be about Wu Hanjiang and the blood corpse? On the surface, he shook his head calmly and said, "I don't know."

Niu Er slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Oh my, then you don't know! Recently, there has been big news in the cultivation world! I heard that there is a mysterious force controlling everything in secret. They have all-powerful hands and eyes, and even big sects like the Blood Puppet Sect and the Free and Easy Immortal Sect are being manipulated by them!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qi and his disciples looked at each other, and saw surprise and solemnity in each other's eyes. If this news is true, then their previous plan may have to be significantly adjusted.

However, at this moment, Niu Er leaned close to Zhao Qi's ear and spoke mysteriously.

"Master, I have heard a secret. It is said that the reason why the mysterious force is so powerful is that they have mastered a mysterious magic that can control cultivators!

As long as you master this magic, you can make the cultivator obey you and become your puppet! Do you think this is true?"

Zhao Qi was shocked when he heard this. If this news was true, then wouldn't their Qitian Sect also be in danger of being controlled?

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Niu Er, your information is very valuable. But we still need to verify it further. If you can provide more clues or evidence, our Qi Tian Sect will definitely reward you generously."

When Niu Er heard that there was a reward, his eyes lit up immediately: "Oh my, you are so polite, Sect Master! I came to tell you this news just for the sake of peace in the cultivation world!

If you can give me a few spirit stones or magic weapons, I will be very grateful!" He stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers, making a gesture of counting money.

Seeing Niu Er's greedy look, Zhao Qi and his disciples couldn't help laughing.

They knew that although the news was important, they couldn't believe it completely.

They still need to plan carefully to deal with possible crises. But at least now they have a new direction and goal.

Inside the main hall of Qi Tian Sect, Zhao Qi stood alone in the empty hall, his brows furrowed and a thoughtful expression on his face.

In his hand, he still held the dimmed communication talisman, and Wu Hanjiang's cold and arrogant voice seemed to still echo in his ears.

"This old fox has really given me a difficult problem." Zhao Qi murmured to himself, his eyes wandering in the hall, as if looking for inspiration.

He knew that Wu Hanjiang was a cunning and cruel opponent, and this threat was obviously not a simple threat.

The threat from the blood corpse is real, and since Wu Hanjiang dared to make such a request, he must have been prepared.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. He knew that as the leader of a sect, he couldn't panic and had to deal with it calmly.

"Hand over the cultivation resources and spirit stone mines?" Zhao Qi sneered, "This Wu Hanjiang has a good plan. However, it's not that easy for me, Zhao Qi, to surrender so easily."

There was a sly gleam in his eyes, as if he already had a plan in mind.

He looked up at the dome of the hall, which was carved with complex formations and runes, flickering with faint light, as if telling the glorious history of the Qi Tian Sect.

"Since its founding, the Qi Tian Sect has never bowed to any force." Zhao Qi said slowly, "Wu Hanjiang, do you think your threats can make me surrender? Humph, you underestimate me too much."

He turned and walked towards a corner of the hall, where a huge sand table was placed, filled with small flags of various colors, representing the distribution of Qi Tian Sect and surrounding forces. (End of this chapter)
