"No, please!" The Underworld Messenger persisted, determined to persuade her, "It's just a side matter anyway, it won't take much effort. Doesn't His Majesty also need to find a way to treat those injured disciples?"
Youyou was taken aback and looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"
After this incident, what worried her most wasn't the Phoenix Clan or the Demon Clan, but the injured disciples guarding the seal. Although Yuan Qi had treated them, they still hadn't woken up.
"I know that the Underworld is short of a few souls that are due to be received and have not yet arrived." The Underworld Envoy continued to try to force a friendly smile, but it only became more sinister.
"The souls that should be collected?" You You thought of the disciples who were still guarding the seal and had not yet awakened, and suddenly became a little anxious. "They still have life in them, how did they become your customers?" I suspect you are cursing them!
"Oh dear, I'm just telling the truth, Your Majesty, why get angry?" The Underworld Envoy continued to explain, "Although those few people still have a sliver of hope, they are, after all, mortals, neither immortals nor gods. If they don't have a fortuitous encounter, it's only a matter of time before they enter my Underworld."
You You's heart tightened, and she turned to look at Yuan Qi beside her. Yuan Qi also nodded with a solemn expression. The injuries of those disciples were indeed very serious, just as the Underworld Envoy had said.
"So, you mean there's a way to save them?" She turned to look at the Underworld Messenger with anxiety.
“No!” the Underworld Messenger blurted out.
Youyou: "..."
(?_?)
Then what the hell are you talking about!
"I am the messenger of the underworld who guides the souls of the dead, so naturally I cannot restore the living. At most, after they die, I can help them enter the path of ghost cultivation and join my underworld in the future," the messenger of the underworld continued solemnly.
"..." So, not only can you not help, but you're also planning to poach our employees?
“Your Majesty, matters of life and death are always irreversible for everyone.” The Underworld Envoy’s eyes darted around, then he changed the subject, “Of course, my lord is an exception! If you want to save them, there are only two ways. The easiest way is to find my lord. If the King of the Underworld intervenes, not only will there be a sliver of hope, but even the most dead can be brought back to life.”
Youyou's lips twitched. In the end, you just wanted to trick her into working and finding Hades!
"Didn't you say there were two ways?" Feng Rong suddenly asked, "What's the other one?"
Oh right, what happened to the two methods we agreed on?
“Oh, another way is…” The Underworld Envoy stuffed the things in his hand back into You You’s arms, “Your Majesty, find the remaining two scrolls and put them together to form a complete Book of the Underworld.”
A complete set of Yin books! Youyou looked down at the three items in her hand. Right, what were the other two books called again?
work?
(???????????)
Just hearing the name makes me not want to look for it at all!
You You frowned. Seeing the Underworld Envoy's eagerness to shift the blame, he had no choice but to put away the three scrolls while confirming, "Are you sure that the power of the Underworld Book can save the lives of my sect's disciples?"
"No way!" the Underworld Messenger said matter-of-factly.
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
Flip the table!
(#= Dis=)_|___|_
What's the point of looking for that?!
Youyou almost accidentally slapped the three volumes in her hand back at his face. Don't think you can get away with hitting someone just because you know them!
"Oh dear, Your Majesty, don't be anxious!" The Underworld Envoy hurriedly began to extinguish the fire with a blank expression, and added, "Although collecting the Book of the Underworld cannot save people, it can help us find the King of the Underworld! The Book of the Underworld belongs to my master. As long as we collect it, we can naturally sense my master's location, and then my master can save people. It's the same thing."
"..." How are they the same?!
Isn't this just coming full circle? He clearly had a plan in mind, wanting them to go find Hades, right?
You You took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to beat him up. She had to hold back; saving her underlings was the priority. Although Yuan Qi had indicated that their injuries were indeed serious, finding the Underworld King might truly be the only solution.
but……
“We don’t know where the last two volumes of the Book of the Dead are, nor do we know the whereabouts of Hades. So where are we supposed to look?” Youyou frowned.
"Your Majesty need not worry about this!" Seeing her compromise, the Underworld Envoy's usually lifeless eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately leaned closer to continue, "Based on my observations over the years, the Underworld King and the last two volumes of the Underworld Book should be in the Demon Realm!"
"The Demon Realm?!" Not only You You, but also Feng Rong and Yuan Qi were shocked.
“Yes.” The Underworld Envoy nodded. “Over the years, the reincarnation of beings in the six realms has been orderly, without any major omissions, even in the notoriously brutal Demon Realm. But since the King of the Underworld left, I have not gone to the Demon Realm to collect souls. Yet the remnant souls can still accurately reach the Underworld, which proves that either my master is in the Demon Realm, or he placed the Book of the Underworld there to maintain the stability of the reincarnation cycle.”
That seems to make some sense, but...
"How are we supposed to go to the Demon Realm to retrieve the book?" Youyou glanced at him and said, "My sect went through so much trouble to protect the seal of the Demon Realm, and now you want us to open the seal and go into the Demon Realm to find the Yin Book? Are you kidding me?" This is just self-destruction.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" The Underworld Envoy waved his hand, looking confident. "You can't go to the Demon Realm from the Mortal Realm, but you can go to the Underworld! The Underworld and the Yellow Springs connect to the Six Realms. Not to mention the Demon Realm, you can even go to the God Realm if you want."
"..." Is that so? "But didn't you say before that only the dead can enter the underworld?"
“That’s under normal circumstances, an emergency situation where expediency is necessary!” The Underworld Envoy blinked and lowered his voice. “Trust me, I have connections.”
