Chu Mengmeng tightly grasped the unsigned letter, the black mandragora seemed to be spinning seductively in front of her eyes, and a chill ran straight from her feet to her heart. Xiao Yichen noticed her strangeness, reached out and held her cold hand, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and handed him the letter. After reading it, Xiao Yichen frowned, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also came over, their faces gradually becoming solemn.

"It seems that we have been targeted." Su Mubai said in a heavy tone. Lin Wan'er looked at Chu Mengmeng worriedly, "Mengmeng, don't worry, we will all help you." Chu Mengmeng nodded, suppressed her uneasy mood, and her eyes ignited with a blazing fighting spirit, "I will find out the mastermind behind this and will never let them succeed!"

In order to cope with the upcoming challenge, Chu Mengmeng and her partners began intensive preparations. They trained day and night in a secluded courtyard in the back mountain of Xiao's mansion. With his many years of martial arts experience, Xiao Yichen taught Chu Mengmeng swordsmanship and light skills; Su Mubai used his family's power to inquire about the news of the "Shadow Alliance"; and the thoughtful Lin Wan'er was responsible for collating intelligence and analyzing the situation.

In the dead of night, with candlelight flickering, Chu Mengmeng and the others sat around a table piled with files and maps. "According to the intelligence we have so far," Su Mubai pointed to a place marked with a black skull on the map and said, "The headquarters of the Shadow Alliance is likely to be deep in the Black Cloud Mountains."

Lin Wan'er frowned slightly and added, "The Shadow Alliance acts in secret and has a huge influence. We must act with caution." Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and said with a firm look, "I understand. We must not alert the enemy."

In addition to actively preparing for the battle, Chu Mengmeng also began to investigate the mystery of her life experience. She had a strong premonition that her life experience was inextricably linked to the "Shadow Alliance". The Chu family is an ancient family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It has a profound heritage, but also strict rules. Chu Mengmeng has been raised in seclusion since she was a child and knows little about family affairs.

In order to get more information, Chu Mengmeng began to deliberately contact the elders in the family and inquire about the past events indirectly. With her extraordinary intelligence and keen observation, she soon won the favor of several respected elders. The elders felt that this seemingly innocent young lady was actually very thoughtful and insightful, so they were happy to communicate with her more.

In the conversation with the elders, Chu Mengmeng learned that her parents died unexpectedly when she was very young, leaving only some scattered objects and rumors. She also learned that the Chu family had suffered a major change, which led to the family's power plummeting, and that change seemed to be related to a mysterious organization. Chu Mengmeng keenly realized that this mysterious organization was likely the "Shadow Alliance".

In order to find out the truth, Chu Mengmeng decided to venture into the family's forbidden area - "Siguo Cliff". Siguo Cliff is where the Chu family has punished members who have made mistakes for generations. It is said that there are many traps and it is extremely dangerous. Therefore, it has always been regarded as a forbidden area and no one is allowed to enter at will.

On a dark and windy night, Chu Mengmeng avoided everyone's eyes and ears and came to Siguo Cliff alone. She took a deep breath, and with the faint moonlight, she groped her way into a gloomy and narrow cave. The cave was damp and cold, and from time to time there were bursts of strange noises, which made people shudder. Although Chu Mengmeng was afraid, she knew that only by solving the mystery of her life experience could she truly control her own destiny and protect the people she cherished. She gritted her teeth and walked resolutely towards the depths of the cave... The cave was winding, and Chu Mengmeng groped forward. After walking for an unknown period of time, she finally came to an open mountain belly. With the faint light, Chu Mengmeng found that there was an ancient altar standing in the center of the mountain belly. There were some broken weapons and bones scattered around the altar, and the air was filled with a smell of decay.

The stone wall of the altar was engraved with strange symbols. Chu Mengmeng carefully identified them and found that these symbols were exactly the same as those she had seen in the family tree. Could this be the forbidden place that sealed the powerful power in the family legend? Chu Mengmeng's heart trembled, and she observed everything around her more carefully.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a loose brick at the bottom of the altar. She walked forward and pressed hard, and the brick sank immediately. A stone wall on the side of the altar slowly opened inward, revealing a dark secret passage. Chu Mengmeng was delighted, thinking that this secret passage might contain clues about her life experience.

She lit the tinder and walked in without hesitation. The secret passage was very long, and Chu Mengmeng walked for a long time before reaching the end. At the end was a secret room, in the middle of which was a stone table, on which was placed an ancient book and an exquisite wooden box.

Chu Mengmeng walked forward quickly and opened the ancient book. The pages were yellowed, and some ancient words and patterns were recorded in beautiful handwriting. Chu Mengmeng carefully identified them and found that the words actually recorded the origin and development of the "Shadow Alliance", and the patterns were some strange formations and mechanism designs.

Chu Mengmeng was overjoyed. It was really a rare opportunity to find something without any effort! She quickly put away the ancient book and opened the wooden box. There was a jade pendant and a letter in the wooden box. The jade pendant was crystal clear, with a lifelike phoenix carved on it. It was obviously worth a lot of money. Chu Mengmeng picked up the envelope, which only had four words written on it: "My son, personally."

Chu Mengmeng's heart trembled. Could this letter be left by her parents? She took a deep breath and opened the envelope tremblingly. The handwriting on the letter was vigorous and powerful, with sharp strokes, revealing a powerful aura. In the letter, a person who called himself "Shadow" told Chu Mengmeng about her life experience and the true purpose of the "Shadow Alliance", and hoped that Chu Mengmeng could inherit his last wish and lead the "Shadow Alliance" to glory...

Just as Chu Mengmeng was immersed in shock and confusion, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the entrance of the secret room: "Haha, I didn't expect you to find this place. It seems that God wants you to die in my hands!"

Chu Mengmeng turned around suddenly and saw a figure in black clothes and a bamboo hat, whose face could not be seen clearly, slowly walking in. The figure held a dagger that flashed with cold light in his hand, and exuded a cold and piercing murderous aura. Chu Mengmeng was shocked. Who was this person? What did he want to do?
