Bloodstains appeared shortly before the blood started spurting out.

A strong sense of suffocation overwhelmed him, and sensing the scent of death, he desperately clutched at his neck. Before long, his palms were soaked in blood, and his body twitched slightly for several minutes, until it finally stopped, leaving him breathless.

“Run, Black Widow has betrayed us!”

At that moment, a noise erupted from the room, and the two heavily injured cultivators attempted to flee.

Liu Ruyan acted swiftly, and upon seeing them try to escape, she immediately chased after them.

Her strength was formidable, and since Li Qianfan had already severely injured the two men, she caught up with them in a blink of an eye. Her dagger flashed twice in the air, and soon, the bodies of the two men heavily fell to the ground, quickly losing their breaths.

“I’ll handle their bodies, you go and save the others!”

Liu Ruyan immediately turned to Li Qianfan and said.

“Alright!”

Li Qianfan responded softly and quickly headed into the room. First, he calmed Ye Ling’er down, then began untying everyone else.

Soon, all the students were freed. Despite being safe now, the memory of the recent events still sent shivers down their spine, causing many timid girls to start crying loudly, demanding to return to school, no longer wanting to partake in this scary military training.

Li Qianfan understood their fears, as they were all students unfamiliar with such horrors.

Seeing their desire to return to school, why not use this opportunity to discreetly relocate these students?

The students up the mountain could not leave, but those at the base could.

With this thought, Li Qianfan immediately phoned Wang Fei, who was up the mountain, and shared the situation along with his plan.

Wang Fei’s primary concern was the students’ safety. Hearing Li Qianfan’s plan, she agreed without hesitation.

Wang Fei also informed Li Qianfan that the Su Family had recently made moves. Just a short while ago, the Military Department’s soldiers had captured two suspicious individuals claiming to be villagers who had climbed up the mountain to peep at female college students.

However, Wang Fei and Lin Ran both knew these men were spies sent by the Su Family, but lacking evidence, they could only send them away.

Wang Fei suggested they evacuate the students from the mountain right then, tired of worrying and being scared, but Li Qianfan stopped her, explaining that the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect and Su Family had prepared for a long time to harness the Soul Power within these students.

Without the Formation set up, the sudden descent of these students would alarm the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect, who would then hastily attempt to extract the Soul Power.

Setting up the Formation was meant to develop cultivators, whereas extracting the Soul Power did not require the Formation’s assistance.

With the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect’s behavior, even if they did not help the Su Family people become cultivators, they would not stand by as the Soul Power slipped away.

Hence, they needed to wait.

At the minimum, they had to wait until the transportation Formation was complete to safely shift the students.

Wang Fei chose to trust Li Qianfan.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qianfan gathered a group of instructors and conveyed Wang Fei’s thoughts to them.

Given the inherent discord among the four main Martial Arts Halls, the instructors from Outstanding Martial Arts Hall and Mountain River Martial Arts Hall were initially resistant to Li Qianfan. However, after this incident, they harbored respect and gratitude toward him.

Putting aside past grievances, Li Qianfan had indeed saved their lives.

Under Li Qianfan’s arrangements, the instructors led their students away. Li Qianfan specially instructed Ye Ling’er to quickly escort the students back to school and then summon more reinforcements from the Four Seas Martial Pavilion.

The instructors from Outstanding Martial Arts Hall and Mountain River Martial Arts Hall heard this and rushed forward to inquire further. Li Qianfan revealed everything, explaining that it was a conspiracy by the Su Family and Ao Shi Martial Arts Hall to use the Soul Power to create cultivators.

Upon learning about the ambitions of the Su Family and Arrogant Dragon Martial Arts School, everyone became enraged. They prepared to return to their respective halls to call for backup and stop this plot.

If the Su Family and Arrogant Dragon Martial Arts School succeeded, their days in Taoyuan County would be utterly ruined.

When Li Qianfan stepped out of the room, he saw Ye Ling’er standing at the door, a token hidden in her sleeve emitting a faint glow.

Clearly, Ye Ling’er was erasing everyone’s memories.

Seeing this, Li Qianfan walked forward and learned upon inquiry that she was erasing the day’s battle from their memories, making them forget the matters related to cultivators while preserving the memory of being kidnapped.

In their minds, they were kidnapped by the Su Family, but the details of their rescue had been completely forgotten.

After everyone had left, Li Qianfan and Ye Ling’er hurried to another room to secretly dispose of the bodies of the Su Family and Arrogant Dragon Martial Arts School.

Liu Ruyan had a peculiar kind of powder that, when sprinkled on the bodies, corroded them into a pile of white dust within minutes. A light breeze would then sweep away the powder at an incredible rate.

It truly was miraculous!

Such a method of disposing of bodies was generally undetectable.

However, unknown to them, after the madman was defeated in their ambush, he had secretly planted a talisman underground. Once they left, the talisman, as if alive, burrowed out of the soil, instantly transforming into a wisp of black smoke that slowly vanished into the air…

Had Liu Ruyan witnessed this scene, her face would have turned pale!

Because this talisman was known as a “Communication Talisman.”
