Background / History
Blood Fiend Hall is described as a covert assassination organization within the Qingyun Sect, allegedly controlled in secret by an inner-sect elder and used for matters that cannot be conducted openly. Its methods are marked by a distinctive blood-baleful aura in its sword techniques. 32
During the Xuanhuang Secret Realm expedition, the Hall targeted Qingyun Sect disciples. Its Blood Killing Squad ambushed Su Muxue and later surrounded Chen Feng’s group, demonstrating disciplined coordination and a clear intention to eliminate survivors. 32 33
The organization operated a blood-red altar in the secret realm, using captured disciples such as Liu Wen as living sacrifices. Three gray-robed members attempted to drain Liu Wen’s blood, life force, and soul to nourish the altar and prepare an awakening ritual for their “Master.” 36 37
Blood Fiend Hall later established a fortified camp in the Blood Fiend Hills, blocking the route to Tongtian Tower. The camp held roughly a hundred personnel, maintained a blood-mist formation barrier, and imprisoned Shui Linglong while attempting to force her to reveal the activation mantra for the Shuiyue Token. 47 48
After Lin Ye escaped the camp with Shui Linglong, Vice Hall Master Xue Li ordered a full search and offered rewards for Lin Ye’s capture. The Hall then sought to use Lin Ye’s body and soul, together with Shui Linglong’s soul, to force open its Blood Pool and complete the blood sacrifice. 49 50
Xue Li and two Hua Yuan Realm elders were killed by Lin Ye during the pursuit. Lin Ye subsequently entered the Blood Pool, devoured its accumulated blood essence, resentful souls, fiendish energy, and the descending evil will, then annihilated Hall Master Xue Ku and the remaining defenders at the site. 51 52
The destruction of the Blood Fiend Hills stronghold did not end the organization. Blood Fiend Hall later ambushed the Profound Nether Sect with a Blood Fiend Beast-Luring Array, operated in Falling Star Valley, and joined the Netherworld Sect in maintaining the Nine Nether Soul-Locking Grand Formation at Blackwind Gorge. 76 85 90

Operations and Methods
Assassination and Ambush
- Uses masked operatives, standard-issue longswords, blood-baleful sword arts, and coordinated multi-person attacks. 32
- Conducts targeted eliminations of sect disciples and survivors in secret realms. 32 33
- Maintains search squads composed of mid-, late-, and peak-True Qi Realm cultivators. 49
Blood Sacrifice
Blood Fiend Hall converts living beings into offerings to empower altars, artifacts, and attempts to summon its Master.
- Victims are bound to ritual stakes and drained of blood, life force, and soul. 36
- The Blood Sacrifice Array—Spirit Binding manifests blood mist that restricts the target’s soul and movement. 36
- The Blood Pool in the Blood Fiend Hills contained corpses, undispersed vengeful souls, and crimson runes that refined offerings into blood mist. 51
- The Hall intended to use the Shuiyue Token and Shui Linglong’s incantations to properly activate the Blood Pool; lacking them, it attempted a forced opening despite the risk of backlash. 50
- Its later plan at Falling Star Lake was to build a grand sacrificial formation and offer every martial artist in the secret realm. 92
