Ch 385: Finding Martial Uncle
“Ai, In this Extreme Domain, it’s so bitter and tiring, it’s really not easy!”
“I say, why don’t we go to the Qingfeng Tavern to work when things are calmer? I miss their beer and food!”
“Okay, okay, let’s go together as a group then!”
The disciples of the Valley of Unfeeling looked at the surrounding scenery with bitter faces, sighing involuntarily.
These words reached Ji Yunzhi’s ears, instantly turning her face black.
But a sudden impulse arose in her heart.
Should she also go there again?
Just go once, and never again next time!
“Junior Sister, what are you thinking about?”
At this time, Su Nianyi, the leader, finished her work and looked at Ji Yunzhi questioningly.
“Nothing.”
Ji Yunzhi came back to her senses, looked at Su Nianyi, and slowly said: “Senior Sister, I didn’t expect that you still have old connections with Xiao Han, the Heir of the King of Northern Qi’s Mansion. No wonder you don’t let the disciples of our Valley of Unfeeling participate in the war.”
“Senior Sister, you already know?”
Su Nianyi was slightly stunned and asked in surprise.
“How could I not know? They sent you a secret letter from Xuanzhou.”
Ji Yunzhi took out the secret letter from her bosom, and her expression suddenly became serious: “Now the entire King of Northern Qi’s Mansion has been convicted of rebellion by Emperor Yu Yang. Judging by the current situation, I’m afraid that the entire King of Northern Qi’s Mansion will be executed soon!”
“Is the situation that critical?”
Su Nianyi frowned.
She knew her Senior Sister was trying to remind her not to go down the wrong path.
However, concerning Li Hanzhou’s true identity, she didn’t explain.
Instead, she took the secret letter and returned to her cave dwelling to examine it carefully.
After reading the secret letter, a trace of worry appeared in Su Nianyi’s heart.
The letter said that Li Hanzhou wanted her to come to Xuanzhou to help and take charge for a while.
If she really went and appeared in Xuanzhou, it would certainly attract the hostility of other sects.
After all, their Valley of Unfeeling not sending disciples to the battlefield had already caused dissatisfaction among other sects. If they did this again, other sects would definitely regard their Valley of Unfeeling as accomplices and attack them in return.
But looking at the words full of requests in Li Hanzhou’s letter, she could imagine Li Hanzhou sitting at his desk, looking hesitant and unwilling to write.
Su Nianyi’s lips curved into a slight smile. Turning around, she picked up a pen and wrote a reply on a new envelope, agreeing to go to Xuanzhou.
Longevity Temple.
A group of disciples led by Situ Ling finally returned to the temple.
Yun Qianzhu and Shi Ming walked at the forefront of the group of disciples and went straight to Li Hanzhou’s residence without saying a word.
“Martial Uncle, we’re back!”
Yun Qianzhu shouted, but failed to receive a response from Li Hanzhou, and couldn’t help but wonder: “Eh! Where did Martial Uncle go?”
Seeing this, Shi Ming silently pushed open Li Hanzhou’s door.
But what met their eyes was a spotless room. Martial Uncle wasn’t there; instead, there was a woman with a graceful posture sitting inside.
“Master, what are you doing in Martial Uncle’s room?” they both said in unison.
Looking at their two clear eyes, Li Changshou skillfully hid his pillow behind his back.
Ever since Li Hanzhou died, he had been very heartbroken.
Whenever he saw something familiar in the temple, he would involuntarily think of his Junior Brother and would come to his Junior Brother’s room to sit for a while to reminisce.
Last night, he missed him so much that he accidentally fell asleep.
At the moment, hearing Yun Qianzhu and Shi Ming mention his Junior Brother’s name again.
A touch of sadness appeared in Li Changshou’s eyes. Taking a deep breath, he said slowly: “I have something to tell you.”
Hearing this, their hearts skipped a beat, feeling that something bad was about to be revealed to them.
They heard Li Changshou say: “Your Martial Uncle Li Hanzhou… he… he is dead!”
“What?!”
Yun Qianzhu and Shi Ming were instantly stunned.
How could this be?
Martial Uncle was so strong, so cunning, how could he die so easily?
Before they could react, Li Changshou continued: “You two were closest to your Junior Brother, and you have just returned from the Extreme Domain, so I think I shouldn’t hide the cause of your Junior Brother’s death from you…”
Then, he recounted how Li Hanzhou was plotted against and killed by Emperor Yu Yang.
By the end, Li Changshou could no longer maintain his composure and immediately burst into tears.
The room suddenly fell silent.
The next moment.
“Wuwuwu… Martial Uncle…”
Yun Qianzhu suddenly covered her face with her hand, her body trembling uncontrollably, and slight whimpers came from her.
Shi Ming stood there like a stone statue, his eyes red, tears falling one after another.
Seeing this, Li Changshou composed himself and embraced them.
For a while, two cries echoed in the room.
After a long time, the two stopped sobbing.
Yun Qianzhu left Li Changshou’s embrace, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and gritted her teeth: “This can’t just end like this. I must find Emperor Yu Yang to avenge Martial Uncle!”
Shi Ming remained silent, but nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with an unyielding determination.
“Actually, you don’t need to cry so sadly, Li Hanzhou isn’t completely dead.”
At this time, Situ Ling stepped into the room and said.
“What do you mean?”
Yun Qianzhu came to her senses and quickly asked: “Could Martial Uncle’s soul be floating in the Longevity Temple? Can you let us see Martial Uncle?”
Situ Ling fell silent after hearing this.
“That’s not what I mean. Your Martial Uncle Li Hanzhou is indeed dead, but his soul is still there. He has now possessed a person named Xiao Han, and you probably heard about it on your way back…”
“The Heir of the King of Northern Qi’s Mansion, known as the Fallen Sword Immortal, Xiao Han, he is your Martial Uncle.”
Situ Ling recounted what happened in the Extreme Domain.
After hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment.
They then remembered that their Martial Uncle possessed the Reincarnation Disk, an Innate Spirit Treasure.
Then, a joyful expression bloomed on their faces.
“I knew it, Martial Uncle is so powerful, he definitely won’t die!”
Yun Qianzhu’s voice was filled with excitement, but soon she fell silent and said, “But Martial Uncle’s situation is not optimistic now.”
On their way back, they had learned about the King of Northern Qi’s Mansion’s rebellion.
Now that they knew the truth, they understood that this was Emperor Yu Yang trying to kill their Martial Uncle and the King of Northern Qi’s Mansion together.
Now the King of Northern Qi’s Mansion has lost its advantage and is on the verge of collapse.
It’s estimated that Li Hanzhou will face danger again soon.
Shi Ming, who had been silent, suddenly said: “Master, I’m going to Xuanzhou to find Martial Uncle.”
