I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

"I'm not here to cause trouble. I just heard that Sect Master Zhao is here, so I came here to say hello." Bai Yifei said with a chuckle.

Zhao Qi looked at Bai Yifei and frowned slightly. He knew that Bai Yifei was a difficult character, and there had always been a subtle competitive relationship between Xiaoyao Xianzong and Qitianzong.

The appearance of Bai Yifei at this moment undoubtedly added a touch of uncertainty to this crisis which was already complicated enough.

"Bai Yifei, you've come at the right time. Since you are also a cultivator, why don't we discuss together how to deal with this crisis?" Zhao Qi invited tentatively.

"Oh? Sect Master Zhao actually invited me to discuss countermeasures together? I'm really flattered! But, I, Bai Yifei, don't like to join in the fun. You should solve the affairs of your Qi Tian Sect by yourselves." Bai Yifei said with a smile, shaking his folding fan.

After saying this, Bai Yifei turned and left, leaving everyone in shock.

Zhao Qi watched Bai Yifei's departing back and couldn't help but secretly become alert. He knew that Bai Yifei was definitely not a good person and that he must have a purpose for his appearance this time.

But the most important thing right now is how to deal with the blood corpse crisis, he must focus on this matter.

So Zhao Qi retracted his gaze and said to Zhu Qingyang: "Your Majesty, let's continue to discuss countermeasures."

Zhu Qingyang nodded, and everyone fell into a tense discussion again. The generous gift lay quietly in the wooden box, as if reminding Zhao Qi of the heavy responsibility he shouldered.

Zhao Qi stood in the center of the hall, took a deep breath, and looked at Zhu Qingyang firmly. He knew that his response at this moment would determine the fate of Zhu Ziguo and would also demonstrate the responsibility and commitment of the Qitian Sect.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Qi spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the hall, "Qitian Sect, as a sect of cultivation, has always taken protecting the common people as its mission. We will never sit idly by when the blood corpse disaster occurs this time."

Zhu Qingyang heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he asked anxiously: "Master Zhao, are you willing to help?"

"Yes, I will do my best to help Zhu Ziguo fight against the blood corpses." Zhao Qi nodded affirmatively, "But please understand, Your Majesty, I am not doing this for money. Please take back this generous gift."

As he spoke, Zhao Qi pointed to the box of glittering treasures. Zhu Qingyang was stunned. He did not expect Zhao Qi to refuse this gift. But then, he understood Zhao Qi's intention, and a feeling of respect surged in his heart.

"Master Zhao is so righteous, I admire you." Zhu Qingyang said with emotion, "Since Master Zhao said so, I will take back this gift. But the gratitude of the people of Zhuzi Country will never be reduced because of this."

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. A cultivator should take the world as his responsibility. Helping you this time is my duty."

Zhao Qi and Zhu Qingyang sat opposite each other in the hall, and the atmosphere between them was tense and serious.

Zhu Qingyang spoke first: "Master Zhao, now the bloody corpses are surrounding the city, and our people are in panic. I wonder if you have any advice?"

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "To fight against the blood corpses, we need to understand their weaknesses first. Does Your Majesty have detailed information about the blood corpses?"

Zhu Qingyang smiled bitterly: "To be honest, these blood corpses seem to have suddenly appeared overnight, and we know very little about them."

Zhao Qi stroked his chin, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Then, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why these blood corpses suddenly appeared?"

"This..." Zhu Qingyang was speechless for a moment. He really had not thought deeply about this issue.

Zhao Qi continued, "The appearance of the blood corpse must have a reason. We need to find the source to fundamentally solve the problem."

Zhu Qingyang nodded, then frowned again: "But how should we deal with the crisis now?"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a plan." He leaned over and drew a simple battle formation on the table.

"We can use the terrain of Zhuzi Country to set up a magic trapping formation. This formation can temporarily trap the blood corpse and buy us time to find a solution."

Zhu Qingyang looked at the battle formation diagram on the table, his eyes lit up: "This is a great plan!"

Zhao Qi and Zhu Qingyang sat side by side in the hall. A huge map was spread out in front of them, on which were marked the mountains, rivers, towns and villages of Zhuzi State.

After a series of discussions, their faces showed tired but determined expressions.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should first set up a defense line to confine the blood corpses to a certain area." Zhao Qi said, pointing to several key locations on the map.

Zhu Qingyang nodded: "Master Zhao is right. But how can we ensure that the defense line is foolproof?"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "This requires our Qi Tian Sect disciples to work closely with your country's soldiers."

He explained his plan in detail: first, set up defense lines led by disciples of the Qi Tian Sect at key locations, using the magic of cultivators and the fighting power of mortal soldiers to jointly resist the blood corpses.

Secondly, they will send an elite team deep behind enemy lines to investigate the source and weaknesses of the blood corpses in order to find a permanent solution.

Zhu Qingyang agreed with this, but he was also worried: "Master Zhao, this plan is great, but there are so many blood corpses, and I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower."

Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have sent a message back to the sect to summon all the disciples who are training outside to come back for support. Moreover, we can also mobilize the cultivators in the folk to join us."

Zhu Qingyang was delighted when he heard this: "That's great! I'll get someone to do it right away."

The atmosphere in the main hall of Qitian Sect was solemn. Zhao Qi sat on the throne of the Sect Master, frowning as if he was thinking about some important issue.

Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan, Bai Wei and Han Feng stood on both sides, waiting for their master's instructions.

"I don't believe a word that old fox Wu Hanjiang says." Zhao Qi finally broke the silence, and his voice echoed in the hall.

"He said that the blood corpse disaster cannot be solved. He just wants us to surrender. But how could I, Zhao Qi, be fooled so easily?"

The disciples nodded in agreement. Lu Xueyao said, "Master, how should we deal with this blood corpse disaster?"

A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes: "We must find a way to restrain the blood corpse. Everything in this world is interdependent and mutually exclusive, and the blood corpse is no exception."

Liu Ruyan frowned and said, "But how can we find this method?"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "This requires us to brainstorm and discuss together. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find a solution."

Bai Wei suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, I once saw a description of a blood corpse in an ancient book, and it seemed to mention something that could restrain it."

Zhao Qi's eyes lit up: "Oh? Tell me about it!" Bai Wei recalled: "The book mentioned that the Nine Netherworld Fire can burn all evil things and has a strong inhibitory effect on blood corpses."

Han Feng scratched his head: "Nine Netherworld Fire? This name sounds powerful. But how can we find this kind of fire?"

Zhao Qi stood up and walked to the center of the hall: "This is why I called you together. We need to act separately. On the one hand, we need to look for clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire, and on the other hand, we need to continue to study how to fight against the blood corpse.

Xueyao, Ruyan, the two of you will be responsible for searching for clues in ancient books and legends; Baiwei, Hanfeng, you will follow me to investigate the blood corpse's weaknesses on the spot."

The disciples responded in unison, saying they would live up to their master's expectations.

Zhao Qi looked at them and felt extremely relieved. He knew that the battle with the blood corpse had just begun, but as long as he had these outstanding disciples by his side, he had the confidence to overcome all difficulties.

In the following days, the Qitian Sect was busy. Lu Xueyao and Liu Ruyan buried themselves in ancient books, hoping to find more clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire.

Bai Wei and Han Feng followed Zhao Qi everywhere, investigating the movements and weaknesses of the blood corpse.

Despite the numerous difficulties, the people of Qi Tian Zong did not give up.

They believed that under the leadership of Zhao Qi, they would be able to find a way to control the blood corpses and protect the peace of the cultivation world and the mortal world.

This battle with the blood corpse has also become an important experience in their growth.

The atmosphere in the reception room of the Saint Maiden Hall was peaceful and solemn. Zhao Qi sat on an exquisite jade-carved chair, facing Feng Qianjiao, a female official of the Saint Maiden Hall.

Feng Qianjiao was dressed in red, beautiful and mysterious, with wisdom sparkling in her eyes.

"Master Zhao, you must have something important to tell me about this visit." Feng Qianjiao said softly. Her voice was like the sound of nature, bringing peace of mind to people.

Zhao Qi nodded, his expression solemn: "Female Official Feng, to be honest, I came here this time to ask for a favor. Recently, the blood corpse disaster has been rampant, and my Qi Tian Sect and Zhu Zi Kingdom have been deeply affected. I heard that the Saint Maiden Hall is well-informed, so I came here to ask for advice on countermeasures."

Feng Qianjiao smiled slightly, her smile was like a spring breeze: "Sect Master Zhao, you have asked the right person. My Saint Maiden Palace does hold some unknown secrets. To restrain the blood corpse, you must have the Nine Netherworld Fire."

Zhao Qi heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Nine Netherworld Fire? Can this fire really deal with blood corpses?"

"Of course." Feng Qianjiao nodded affirmatively, "The Nine Netherworld Fire originates from the depths of the underworld and has the power to burn all evil. Although the blood corpse is powerful, it is nothing more than a chicken and a dog in front of the Nine Netherworld Fire."

Zhao Qi was overjoyed after hearing this, but then he frowned again: "However, this Nine Netherworld Fire is so magical, it must be extremely rare."

Feng Qianjiao sighed and said, "Sect Master Zhao is right. The Nine Netherworld Fire is indeed hard to find. It is hidden deep in the underworld. To find it, you need not only strength, but also luck."

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "No matter what, I will give it a try. For the peace of the cultivation world and the people of Zhuzi Country, I can never sit idly by."

After hearing this, Feng Qianjiao's eyes flashed with admiration: "Sect Master Zhao is so kind, our Saint Maiden Hall will certainly help you. However, the process of finding the Nine Netherworld Flame will be full of hardships, and Sect Master Zhao needs to be fully prepared."

Zhao Qi stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Miss Feng, for your reminder. I will do my best."

After the two chatted about some details, Zhao Qi said goodbye and left. He was full of determination and expectation, and was also ready to face all difficulties.

Feng Qianjiao stood at the door of the Holy Maiden Palace, watching Zhao Qiyuan's back as he left, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

"Master Zhao, I hope you can successfully find the Nine Netherworld Fire and bring peace to the world of cultivation." Feng Qianjiao whispered to herself.

The Qitian Sect's library is a mysterious and solemn place. The towering bookshelves are densely packed with ancient books, each of which carries the wisdom and secrets of the world of cultivation.

Zhao Qi and Lu Xueyao stood in the library, their eyes sweeping across the bookshelves, looking for clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire.

The books here are neatly arranged according to different categories and ages, but it is not easy to find records about the Nine Netherworld Fire.

"Master, there are so many books here, how do we find them?" Lu Xueyao asked helplessly as she looked at the mountain of books in front of her.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and pointed to his head: "Look here." After that, he began to carefully look through every book, hoping to find clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire.

As time passed, the two had read hundreds of books but still found no valuable information.

Lu Xueyao began to feel discouraged. She sighed and said, "Master, did we find the wrong place?"

Zhao Qi did not mean to give up. He patted Lu Xueyao on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. Sometimes success lies in the next attempt."

At this moment, Zhao Qi's eyes fell on a tattered ancient book. The cover of the book had faded and the pages were a little torn, but Zhao Qi felt a mysterious atmosphere from it.

He carefully turned the pages of the book, only to see that they were densely covered with ancient words and patterns.

Among these texts and patterns, Zhao Qi finally found records about the Nine Netherworld Fire.

"Found it!" Zhao Qi shouted excitedly, and Lu Xueyao immediately came over to take a look.

Ancient books record the origin, characteristics and legends of the Nine Netherworld Fire. It is said that this fire can burn all evil and has a strong inhibitory effect on evil creatures such as blood corpses.

"Master, is this Nine Netherworld Fire really that powerful?" Lu Xueyao asked curiously.

Zhao Qi nodded: "If the records in the ancient books are true, then the Nine Netherworld Fire is indeed a powerful weapon for us to deal with the blood corpses."

The two continued to read the ancient books, wanting to learn more about the Nine Netherworld Fire. But at this moment, the door of the library was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in.

"Master, senior sister, you are here!" Han Feng walked in and saw Zhao Qi and Lu Xueyao flipping through ancient books. He came over curiously.

"Xiaofeng, you've come just in time." Zhao Qi pointed to the records in the ancient book, "We are looking for clues about the Nine Netherworld Fire. Come and help us find it."

Han Feng nodded and immediately started flipping through the books. The three of them were busy in the library for a whole afternoon and finally sorted out the information about the Nine Netherworld Fire. (End of this chapter)
