The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Taotie's eyes narrowed, and its breath, which hadn't been cleaned for over a hundred years, turned into a toxic gas, making the gravedigger inside its mouth feel dizzy.

The gravedigger suppressed his nausea.

He swung the hoe even more fiercely.

he knows.

Only through this method.

Only then can Taotie feel his determination and strength.

However, faced with the Taotie's powerful tone, the gravedigger ultimately succumbed.

"Such powerful corrosive force." After saying this, the gravedigger turned into white smoke and disappeared into the Taotie's mouth.

The disappearance of the gravedigger caused the slightly younger gravedigger, who was still kneeling on the ground, to utter a curse. He had never seen such a scene before.

"It's your turn. As long as you tell me the delivery location, I promise I'll let you go." Jiang Chuan walked to his side, calming his slightly tense nerves.

After a two-minute internal struggle, he gritted his teeth, thinking of his wife, children, and elderly parents who were waiting for him to finish this job and retire from crime. He decided to deal with the immediate problem first, and deal with the later pursuit later.

"The delivery location is..." The gravedigger whispered in Jiang Chuan's ear, revealing the place that caused him to lose control of his bladder and bowels.

Having learned the location, Jiang Chuan did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he walked to Li Yi's side, took her hand, and led her out of the cave.

The Tomb Raider Temple is located on the outskirts of Qing City, in a desert area with a large garbage dump.

For a long time, the citizens of Qingshi only knew that there was a garbage dump here, but they did not know that there was also a tomb-raiding temple located here.

"Are you sure he's not lying to us? How long have we been walking?" Li Yi raised her slender hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and looked at Jiang Chuan walking ahead, asking.

Jiang Chuan was currently in the center of the garbage dump, where the stench was overwhelming. If it weren't for his internal energy resisting it, it would have been impossible for him to continue walking under such stench.

"If we pass through this garbage, we should be able to see the true face of the Tomb Raider Temple." Jiang Chuan frowned as he looked at a pile of junk filled with miscellaneous items.

Li Yi followed closely behind Jiang Chuan.

Her steps showed signs of fatigue.

But a hint of determination shone through his eyes.

"Jiang Chuan, do we really want to go in?"

Li Yi confirmed again, her voice tinged with unease, clearly a fear of the unknown.

Jiang Chuan didn't answer, he just nodded.

Then he walked straight to the pile of garbage full of miscellaneous items.

He carefully avoided some unidentified objects on the ground to prevent any unnecessary accidents.

As they went deeper, the stench from the garbage dump grew stronger, and Li Yi almost vomited.

Finally, at the end of a garbage dump, they saw an ancient stone gate.

The stone gate is covered with the marks of time, and there is a line of words on it: "Tomb-digging Hall, separated by life and death."

At the entrance to the tomb-raiding hall stood two children, each wearing a bib and holding a toy.

The two children looked to be no more than five or six years old, their innocent eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and anticipation. Their presence added a touch of liveliness to the originally solemn and dignified tomb-digging hall.

These two children are the gatekeepers of the Tomb Raider Temple. Although they are young, they can suppress evil spirits.

Behind them, the massive stone gate of the tomb slowly opened, revealing the dimness and mystery within. The two children walked in without hesitation, their toys seemingly emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

The tomb was filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, but the two children seemed to know everything about it. They moved around the tomb, sometimes stopping to listen to the sounds around them, and sometimes taking out their toys and waving them gently in a certain direction.

The eerie wind inside the hall seemed to lessen somewhat due to their arrival, and the lanterns hanging on the walls appeared to shine brighter.

The two children's figures appeared even clearer in the darkness, and their toys shone even brighter in the darkness.

Their mission is to guard the tomb-raiding temple and prevent evil spirits from invading.

Although they are young, they bear a heavy responsibility.

Behind them, the stone doors of the tomb slowly closed, sealing the darkness and terror inside once more.

The toys in the children's hands gradually lost their luster, but the curiosity and anticipation in their eyes remained.

"Since you're here, come in and have a chat." A powerful tenor voice rang out from the crack in the stone door.

Jiang Chuan stood up straight, walked to the stone gate, gently pushed it open, and found that the original dark courtyard had disappeared, replaced by bright lights and a path leading directly to the main hall.

As Jiang Chuan, Li Yi, and Ling Juan walked along the path, dancers appeared on both sides. Some of them carried pipa, while others performed eerie dances. Their clothes covered their private parts, and they looked at Jiang Chuan and his companions with hostile eyes.

Jiang Chuan sensed the unfriendly gazes of the dancers.

I became more vigilant.

They quickened their pace, trying to leave this eerie place as soon as possible.

However, the dancers pressed on relentlessly, their pipa playing shrill notes that, combined with their bizarre dance, created a suffocating atmosphere.

Li Yidai frowned and whispered to Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan, "What's wrong with these dancers? Why are we being treated like this?"

Jiang Chuan gently tugged at Li Yi's sleeve, signaling her to stay calm. "The atmosphere here is indeed a bit strange, but we can't panic. With me here, nothing will go wrong."

Ling Juan nodded, her sharp eyes scanning her surroundings.

He found.

A hint of greed gleamed in the dancers' eyes.

A thought flashed through its mind: Could they be plotting against us?

Suddenly, a venomous snake hissed and lashed out from the dancer's soft spot, lunging at Ling Juan. Startled, Ling Juan stumbled back a few steps, nearly getting bitten.

Seeing this, Li Yi chuckled, "Ling Juan, I thought you were very brave, but I didn't expect you to be afraid too."

"What are you saying?" Ling Juan said unhappily.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan reached the end of the path. He gently pushed open the door and saw three people wearing strange masks sitting in the hall. They gestured for Jiang Chuan to enter.

Jiang Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and found a seat. Then, a gust of cold wind closed the open door.

The atmosphere inside was oppressive, with only a faint scent of incense lingering in the air.

“Brother, you look unfamiliar. I wonder if the goods you’re carrying are of high quality?” asked the big excavator sitting in the middle.

The Second and Third Digging Spirits, sitting to the left and right of the First Digging Spirit, exchanged glances and then looked at Jiang Chuan and his group with questioning eyes.

Judging from Jiang Chuan's attire, he doesn't seem to be in the grave-digging business.

"I don't know if it's top-quality, but I've brought the goods." An urn appeared in Jiang Chuan's palm.

The Great Digger, sitting in the middle, frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Jiang Chuan's answer.

He waved his hand, signaling Jiang Chuan to open the urn and let them see the contents. Jiang Chuan smiled slightly.

He knew this moment had finally arrived.

He carefully opened the urn.

The neatly arranged ashes inside were exposed.

The second and third spirit diggers stared wide-eyed at the first spirit digger and said in unison, "There's something wrong with these ashes; they don't look human."

"Kid, are you kidding us?" The eyes behind the Great Spirit Excavator mask turned cold as he looked at Jiang Chuan and said in a cold voice.

"If you think there's something wrong with my ashes, then get them tested. Stop talking nonsense," Jiang Chuan said confidently.

Da Juling snorted coldly and took out a sealed bag from his pocket, which contained the ashes that Jiang Chuan had thrown over.

He turned and walked to a table next to him, on which were some testing tools.

"Okay, let's test it out."

Da Juling opened the sealed bag and carefully took out some ashes, placing them into a glass dish.

Then, he began operating the testing equipment, observing it meticulously.

after awhile.

Da Juling's expression suddenly turned serious.

He stared at the ashes in the glass dish, his brow furrowed, as if he had discovered something.

"So? Any results?" Jiang Chuan asked, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Da Juling took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Chuan, and said, "There is indeed something wrong with these ashes; they are not human."

"Impossible." Jiang Chuan crossed his legs and shook them a couple of times. "Your equipment must be broken."

The Great Digger was silent for a moment. He took out a cloth from his pocket and carefully wiped the bottle of ashes, as if it were a precious treasure.

Then he handed the bottle to Jiang Chuan and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Jiang Chuan took the bottle, examined it carefully for a while, and then frowned and said, "The color of this ashes is indeed different from that of human ashes, but that doesn't prove that it's not human."

The Great Digger picked up another bottle of ashes. The color of the ashes in this bottle was no different from human ashes. He said, "The ashes in this bottle are human. You can compare them."

Jiang Chuan took the two bottles and compared them carefully for a while. Then his expression became serious. He looked at Da Jue Ling and said, "There is indeed a problem with these ashes. They are not human."

"Kid, you're not human, what are you trying to do by swindling money from me?" The Great Spirit was clearly angry.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm. "Please calm down. I'm not here to scam you. I just want to find out the true origin of these ashes. If you're willing to cooperate with me, we can study this issue together and maybe find some valuable information."

Da Juling stared at Jiang Chuan for a long time, seemingly trying to determine if he was mentally sound.

“You can get out now,” the Great Digger said, pointing to the doorway.

Jiang Chuan put down the container in his hand and said coldly, "What if I say no?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Digging Spirit looked at the Second and Third Digging Spirits behind him, his brows twitching. Then he turned to Jiang Chuan and asked, "Are you here to die with your wife, children, and elderly parents?"

"I just can't stand people like you who steal people's ashes and do illegal things." Jiang Chuan put his legs back and stood up.

Jiang Chuan's words made Da Jue Ling's face darken.

He clearly hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to accuse them so bluntly.

He sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so insolent in front of our Spirit-Digging Clan?"

Jiang Chuan met his gaze without fear and said firmly, "I am just an ordinary person, but I have a responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves. You so-called Spirit Diggers are only good at bullying the weak, which I cannot tolerate."

"Haha..." Da Juling looked at Jiang Chuan as if he had heard a joke, "What era are we living in? How can there still be idiots like you serving the people?"

"No matter how times change, some people live for profit, while others choose to fight for morality."

"I may be a fool, but at least I know what people should uphold and what they should oppose." Jiang Chuan's voice was firm and powerful.

The Great Digger's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Do you think you can change anything with your own power alone?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, "I don't ask to change everyone. I only hope that I can protect those innocent people and prevent them from being bullied and harmed by you. At least in Qing City, I, Jiang Chuan, can do that."

"Jiangchuan?"

You said you're Jiang Chuan?

"Jiang Chuan from the Diviner Alliance?"

The two Diggers gasped in shock. Recently, in their pursuit of exorbitant profits, they had targeted the Diviner Alliance, an easy target. Now, Jiang Chuan, the president of the Diviner Alliance, had personally come to settle accounts with them regarding their principal and interest.

"What?" Jiang Chuan chuckled, looking at Da Jue Ling. "You're not afraid of digging up other people's ancestral graves, so why would you be afraid of Jiang Chuan?"

"How could I possibly be afraid of you? It's just that your name has become quite famous in Qing City recently, which has left me a little stunned." Da Jue Ling retreated warily.

"Then why is your body moving backward?" Jiang Chuan walked step by step toward the Great Spirit, his neck stiff.

Jiang Chuan's tone was clearly provocative.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, fixed directly on the Great Digling.

Although Da Juling still maintained a smile on his face, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white.

"Jiang Chuan, don't go too far," Da Jue Ling warned, his voice trembling slightly.

Jiang Chuan continued to force back the Great Spirit Digger, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he said, "Excessive? How would I know it's excessive? Tell me what it feels like to go too far, and maybe I'll know."

"My transgressions are as light as a feather compared to your evil deeds." Jiang Chuan cornered Da Jue Ling against the wall.

"Jiang Chuan, this is my territory. How are you going to handle this situation with two burdens like this?"

"Even if you have the ability to escape, what about them?" Da Juling pointed at Li Yi and Ling Juan.

"Haha..." Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Why are you laughing again?" Da Juling asked, puzzled.

"What era are we living in? Who still compares numbers with you?" Jiang Chuan looked at the restless guards of the Great Digging Spirit, then walked to Li Yi's side and continued to the Great Digging Spirit, "In one minute, I'll turn this place into flat ground."

"Jiang Chuan, do you think you can make us submit with just a few words?" Da Jue Ling looked at Jiang Chuan with a mocking gaze.

Jiang Chuan sneered.

He did not answer the Great Spirit's question.

Instead, he turned his attention to the guards.

His eyes were filled with determination and resolve, as if he could already see this place reduced to rubble. (End of Chapter)
