Chapter 339 Searching for the Underworld Messenger

Qiu Ziyue took out the diary, opened it to the first page, and saw Lingxu Ghost Hand's name and the date written on it.

This is clearly his private record.

Qiu Ziyue quickly skimmed through the diary entries, her eyes revealing a deep sense of unease and fear.

According to the diary, Lingxu Ghost Hand did indeed possess the "Soul Return Technique".

However, this secret method is not only dangerous, but also has serious side effects.

As time went by, Lingxu Ghost Hand's research into the "Resurrection Technique" became increasingly in-depth.

But he also began to doubt whether he had stepped into an area he shouldn't have.

The last few pages felt rushed, even carrying a sense of despair.

Qiu Ziyue closed her diary, a chill running through her.

The death of Lingxu Ghost Hand was clearly not accidental; it was very likely that this forbidden technique brought about his demise.

And that mysterious "Messenger of the Underworld" may be the mastermind behind all of this.

After returning to the Dongling Marquis's residence, Qiu Ziyue told her companions about the contents of her diary.

He suggested talking to Chu Yunfan again to see if he could discover any more clues.

However, when they found Chu Yunfan, they discovered that he was in his study reading a book that resembled an ancient text.

His expression was focused and solemn.

The three men burst into the study. Chu Yunfan looked up at them with a complicated expression.

"You've come at the right time; I have something to tell you."

Qiu Ziyue said coldly:

"Young Master Chu, what exactly do you know? Why did Lingxu Ghost Hand die? And what is the purpose of that so-called 'Netherworld Messenger'?"

Chu Yunfan sighed and slowly said:

"Actually, I had my suspicions for a while. Several months ago, I received an anonymous letter."

It is said that Lingxu Ghost Hand possesses a secret technique that can control life and death. Out of curiosity, I sent someone to find him, hoping to learn more.

"But you didn't directly mention 'resurrection magic,' did you?"

Qiu Ziyue pressed for an answer.

Chu Yunfan nodded:

"Yes. At the time, I thought it was just a rumor circulating in the martial arts world."

I never imagined such a huge secret was hidden behind it. Only recently have I realized that things are far more complex than I thought.

He paused, then continued:

“A few days ago, I received a threatening letter. The sender claimed that if I did not hand over the relevant information about the ‘resurrection technique’, I would be in trouble.”

That would be detrimental to my whole family. When I refused, they broke into my study and stole some of my medical books.

Li Cunxu frowned and said:

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell us this information sooner?"

Chu Yunfan gave a bitter smile:

"Because I cannot be sure whether you are trustworthy. After all, this matter is of great importance, and the slightest carelessness could lead to disaster."

Just then, a servant rushed over and handed Chu Yunfan a letter.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be another warning from the "Messenger of the Underworld":

Qiu Ziyue took the letter and examined it carefully, then noticed a strange symbol drawn on the back of the letter.

An open palm with a burning flame carved in the middle.

"What does it mean?"

Qi Yuxuan asked in confusion.

Qiu Ziyue shook her head:

"It's unclear at the moment."

After everyone returned to their lodgings, they dispersed, and Li Cunxu went to attend to official business.

Qiu Ziyue was completely baffled in her room, so she talked to Qi Yuxuan about it.

She felt she could find no fault with anything, yet something felt off.

Just then, Su Er came looking for her.

"Master, I have something important to report."

Su Er said respectfully.

"Su Er, do you know anything about this? Please tell me," Qiu Ziyue asked.

“Master, I know the origin of that open palm with a burning flame symbol engraved in the middle.”

Su Er said.

"Then tell me quickly," Qiu Ziyue urged.

"This symbol is the symbol of our Blood Alliance, and the 'Messenger of the Underworld' is our leader."

I've never seen him before, but we all have to follow his orders.

"Then Su Er, why didn't you mention this at the Chu family's place?" Qiu Ziyue asked.

“Master, based on my years of experience in the martial world, I have a feeling that there is something wrong with that Young Master Chu, so I dare not speak out rashly.”

Su Er retaliated.

"I think so too, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it."

Qiu Ziyue pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Then Su Er, tell me about your Remnant Blood Alliance. Why do you all obey the orders of the Netherworld Messenger?"

"I was born in a chaotic world and had nowhere to go. In my early years, I and a group of buddies tried to make a living."

"I unintentionally joined the Crippled Blood Alliance, who then used my family as leverage to force me to work for them."

"And what about you, Su Er? Your family has been taken hostage by them, and you've come to me for help. Aren't you afraid that your family will be implicated?"

“Master, I am not afraid. I was orphaned and helpless when I was young. Fortunately, a high monk saved me, but that monk was killed by a villain named Li.”

When the Crippled Blood Alliance asked about my family, I lied and said that the villain surnamed Li was my family member.

"Since I joined you, that villain surnamed Li has also been executed by the Blood Remnant Alliance."

At this point in Su Er's speech, Qiu Ziyue said:

"Su Er, you're truly a genius! Your plan to use someone else to do your dirty work was brilliant. You got your revenge and escaped your misery. Impressive!"

Su Er remained serious and respectful, saying:

"Master is too kind. I am just trying to survive in this chaotic world and have to resort to some tricks."

"Su Er, do you know anything else about the Remnant Blood Alliance?"

Qiu Ziyue asked again.

"The leader of the Remnant Blood Alliance, the Netherworld Envoy, always appears dressed in black robes."

We have never seen his true face, but I know a rendezvous point for the Blood Remnant Alliance.

"Alright, Su Er, can you take us there?"

"Okay, Master, I can take you there."

That evening, the group went to an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city.

Legend has it that this temple once worshipped an evil god, but it was later shut down because of the evil deeds committed by its followers.

Upon entering the temple, a sinister atmosphere immediately enveloped us.

The walls were covered with strange runes, and a huge stone platform stood in the center.

It is engraved with the same flaming hand symbol as in the letter.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the darkness:

"Welcome to the sacred ground of the 'Messenger of the Underworld'. Do you really think that you can stop the wheel of fate with just a few people?"

Qiu Ziyue shouted warily:

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

Before they finished speaking, more than a dozen dark figures emerged from all directions and surrounded them.

These people were all dressed in black robes and carrying sharp blades; they were clearly well-trained assassins.

A fierce battle inevitably broke out.

The shadowy figures rapidly approached, their sharp blades gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Qiu Ziyue and the others stood back to back in a circle, warily watching the enemies around them.

"Be careful, these people are quite skilled!"

Li Cunxu said in a low voice, while drawing his long sword from his waist, the blade flashing a silver light.

Qiu Ziyue gripped the silver needles tightly and responded coldly:

"Let's deal with the immediate problem first!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a man in black lunged at Qiu Ziyue, his short knife aimed straight for her throat.

Qiu Ziyue nimbly dodged the attack, then swung her hand back, and the silver needle accurately pierced the opponent's wrist.

The man screamed, and his weapon fell to the ground.

At the same time, Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, Su Er, Xiao Wan, and Arutai also faced their respective enemies.

However, there were too many enemies. As the men in black fell, new men in black continued to join the battle.

Qiu Ziyue realized that she couldn't escape by simply fighting back; she had to find a way to break the deadlock.

Taking advantage of the brief respite, Qiu Ziyue looked around.

Notice that the flaming hand symbol on the stone platform is glowing faintly, seemingly containing some kind of power.

She rushed toward the stone platform, trying to find clues from it.

The moment she reached out and touched the stone platform, the entire temple suddenly trembled, and the runes on the walls began to emit a ghostly blue light.

A deep voice echoed in the air:

Everyone was startled upon hearing this and quickly took a few steps back.

Qiu Ziyue frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Su Er said with a solemn expression:

"The evil god enshrined in this temple is called 'Flame Palm Venerable,' and it is said that it can control the power of life and death."

Li Cunxu's gaze sharpened:

"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Messenger of the Underworld' is using the power of this evil god to perform the 'Resurrection Spell.' We must find a way to stop them!"

As the runes shone brighter, the ground gradually cracked open, and a giant fiery hand slowly emerged.

The palm hovered in the air, radiating a scorching heat, as if it could destroy everything at any moment.

"This is the power of the 'Flame Palm Venerable'!"

Qiu Ziyue cried out in disbelief.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the darkness:

"That's right, you've finally witnessed true power!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a masked man standing in the distance, shrouded in a strange black mist.

Su Er whispered, "Master, he is the 'Messenger of the Underworld'."

"Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, it's you again? Didn't you disappear?"

The messenger from the underworld roared angrily.

"Who are you, and why do you know us?"

Qiu Ziyue was surprised.
