"Have you caught the murderer?"

Li Yan slightly frowned, asking.

He didn't really care about the coroner's life or death.

Although they were in the same profession, they were strangers, so why would he care? He only asked because of Wu Qu.

"Had a fight, almost caught him!"

Wu Qu clenched his fist hard and said solemnly, "That person used a poison needle, his martial arts are average, but his escape technique is incredible. He must be a master of the Evil Dao."

"I almost caught him, but the opponent used a desperate technique, damaging his foundation, and fled without a trace."

Li Yan mused, "Have you inquired if this fellow practitioner offended anyone?"

"That's what I initially thought..."

Wu Qu looked up, his eyes becoming serious, "But on the way, I received another message; three 'living Yin messengers' have been killed in a short time!"

Li Yan was startled upon hearing that, "Someone is hunting 'living Yin messengers'!"

He finally understood why Wu Qu appeared this way.

It was not only because of his friend's death, but the severity of this incident was enough to alarm the Yellow Springs Organization.

Thinking of this, Li Yan said seriously, "It's starting again?"

The original intention of the establishment of "Yellow Springs" began with a massacre targeting "living Yin messengers," involving both righteous and evil factions, leading to a catastrophe.

Since then, that agreement was formed.

Now it appears again, is it possible that the Human Dao revolution is coming, and someone wants to eliminate troublesome "living Yin messengers" in advance?

"I don't know..."

Wu Qu was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "I have something to tell you, don't get angry."

"Someone in the organization is spreading nonsense that your violation of the agreement caused these disasters and wants to announce that the Yellow Springs Organization is unrelated to you."

"What?"

Li Yan doubted he heard correctly and almost laughed, "They must be fools; it's been so long since that matter."

"If they wanted revenge, why wait until now?!"

Wu Qu nodded and spoke after a moment's silence, "Perhaps you were implicated by me."

"To be frank, the selection of 'living Yin messengers' is entirely random, and over the years, it has become mixed and uneven."

"Some gain power through the Hook Paper, colluding with protectors to amass wealth. I can't stand it and have disciplined them many times."

"You were introduced by me, so they're probably using this as an excuse. The Yellow Springs have rules; if opponents reach a certain number, they can block someone from joining. They're using this rule."

"No problem."

Li Yan picked up a teacup and shook his head slightly, "Joining Yellow Springs, I was planning to observe for a while anyway, so it's fine not to join."

He agreed to the Fengdu appointment at that time to find a backing organization to deal with Zhao Changsheng.

But now, he simply gave up.

Firstly, there seems to be something off about the Yellow Springs Organization.

The few he met before were okay, but there are clearly many living Yin messengers in the organization. With so many opposing him, it indicates a hostile force within.

Forcing his way in might lead to unforeseen troubles.

Besides, he no longer needs to rely on these people.

"Not joining is good."

Wu Qu was obviously in a bad mood, and the killing intent in his eyes was still present, "'Living Yin messenger' has a special status. Even when meeting, one would hide their identity as much as possible."

"Those who know my friend's identity don't exceed five, and since other 'living Yin messengers' were killed, there must be a traitor!"

Li Yan nodded in agreement, then asked, "Wu brother, what's your plan?"

Wu Qu sighed, "I've known the coroner friend for over ten years; we shared everything. Now I'm disheartened and might withdraw from Yellow Springs, having no mood to protect others."

Saying that, he gritted his teeth, "But this hatred must be avenged!"

"I will stay in Shu for a while; the fox will eventually expose its tail. At that time, I will kill the traitor and use their head to pay tribute to my brother!"

"If you need help, just call on me."

Li Yan promised, then changed the topic, "Since Wu brother is here, there's something, saving me from a wasted trip."

He could see Wu Qu was in a bad mood.

In such a state, there might be problems. Running out and fighting recklessly could lead to danger.

It's better to find something to calm him down.

"What matter?"

"I want your help to teach martial arts, learn Eight Extremes."

"I don't take disciples, but I can recommend someone to Cangzhou..."

"Not a child, a brother of mine."

"A brother?"

...

"Is this the brother you mentioned?"

Looking at Wu Ba grinning foolishly in the yard, Wu Qu's eye twitched as he whispered to Li Yan, "Isn't this a Human Goblin? Li Yan, are you joking with me?"

"His name is Wu Ba."

Li Yan answered seriously, "Although he's a Human Goblin, he's no different from a human, a dependable brother."

"This is nonsense!"

Wu Qu shook his head outright, "If the elders of my clan know I teach martial arts to a spirit monster, they would surely remove me from the clan genealogy."

"No way, I can't agree to this."

"Not your Wu Family inheritance."

Li Yan quickly held Wu Qu's shoulder, "Just the regular Eight Extremes Fist, the kind that has spread outside; I'm really not skilled, so I can only seek your help."

"You teach it casually, and he learns it casually. How much he learns depends on his own comprehension. Anyway, regular Eight Extremes have already spread everywhere..."

Li Yan generally doesn't like sweet-talking others.

But the reputation of "Ghostly Fears" is not unfounded.

For his brother, he's willing to be persistent and relentless.

"I..."

Wu Qu, being relentlessly pressed, replied reluctantly, "Fine, I'll stay for a few days and teach him the basics, but once outside, I don't acknowledge this disciple; it's all self-learned!"

"Fair enough, fair enough!"

Li Yan laughed, immediately speaking to Wu Ba, "Why are you still standing there dumbly? Hurry and pay respects to your master!"
