Just then, Ninth Concubine spoke.

"Master, would you mind sending me back? I will ask the General to repay you handsomely." Her tone was pleading.

In this desolate wilderness, she didn't know which way to go.

"I can take you to the commander-in-chief up ahead, but there's no need for repayment. I'm in a hurry, so I won't linger."

Chizuru thought for a moment and said.

Since he already had the talisman copier as a reward for completing the mission, he couldn't be bothered to go find Commander Cao.

"No, that won't do. How can we not properly thank our master?"

"It's alright, no need." Chizuru waved her hand.

But at that moment, a group of warlords came from afar.

Qianhe glanced at it and said to her apprentice, "Ask them if they are General Cao's soldiers. If they are, things will be much easier."

"Yes, Master."

Ah Dong responded and planned to go and ask.

.......................

However, they were indeed soldiers under the command of the renowned Commander Cao.

This Commander Cao had always been deeply in love with Ninth Concubine, and now that she was dead, he had his adjutant guard her grave.

This adjutant was specially assigned by the commander-in-chief to take good care of the Ninth Concubine's grave. Although the adjutant was somewhat helpless, he dared not disobey Commander Cao's orders.

This is none other than the renowned Commander Cao Ying.

However, in the instant they changed shifts, they were careless and unexpectedly, the tomb raiders dug up the grave right under their noses.

Now look what's happened! The perfectly good grave of Ninth Concubine has been cruelly dug up with a huge hole. This is truly a disaster.

If the commander-in-chief finds out, they will all be executed along with their entire families.

The Ninth Concubine, the woman who was once favored by Commander Cao, had her body stolen right under his adjutant's nose in such a bizarre way. He was already drenched in sweat.

Upon hearing this devastating news, the adjutant felt a surge of intense unease and anxiety. If the commander-in-chief found out, his head would surely be in serious trouble.

The commander-in-chief's ruthlessness is no joke.

His son, Cao Shao, would say he wouldn't eat beef if he didn't like someone, and then pull out a gun and kill them.

The commander-in-chief instead told him not to be afraid, that he was Cao Ying's son and that he could be killed at will.

This shows how much she dotes on her son.

Furthermore, the Ninth Concubine was Commander Cao's most beloved woman, which made the adjutant's mind terrified.

Therefore, he made a decisive move and immediately dispatched his men to search for the Ninth Concubine's whereabouts, trying to find the tomb robbers behind the scenes as soon as possible, handle the matter quietly, and then hand it over to the commander-in-chief for a decision.

The adjutant himself resolutely took charge, ready to throw himself into this head-risking search operation.

If he can't find him, he might have to think about how to run away.

..........................

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Ninth Concubine was overjoyed and hurriedly called out, "Lieutenant, Lieutenant!"

At that moment, the adjutant, who was still galloping on horseback, heard the urgent shouts and his heart skipped a beat. In the cold moonlight, he could vaguely see a figure moving in front of him. His doubts deepened, and he quickly reined in his horse and looked in that direction.

"Hey, this sounds familiar, it seems... it really is Ninth Concubine?"

The adjutant was filled with surprise and confusion. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, trying to confirm whether what he was seeing was real.

Without hesitation, he rode his horse quickly toward that direction.

When the other men saw the adjutant following, they quickly caught up.

"Master, the adjutant has arrived. I'll go back with him then. Please leave an address so I can personally thank the Commander-in-Chief later!"

Ninth Concubine Qianwen turned around, looked at Qianhe, and bowed respectfully.

If it weren't for Chizuru, she might really be dead.

"I'm currently homeless, so there's no need for thanks. I didn't save people for anything in return," Qianhe waved her hand, not taking it seriously.

He's purely a system task; otherwise, he wouldn't be idle with nothing to do.

Seeing Qianhe's noble character, Ninth Concubine felt some admiration.

Just then, the adjutant arrived.

Upon seeing the adjutant, Ninth Concubine exclaimed, "Adjutant, do you still recognize me?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the adjutant exclaimed, "Ninth... Ninth Concubine? Is it really you?"

"it's me."

"Great, Ninth Concubine, wait, weren't you dead?" The adjutant was immediately frightened at the thought.

Could the Ninth Concubine I'm seeing be a ghost?

........................

"I didn't die. It's a long story, but I was saved by this master. Otherwise, I would have really died."

Then she recounted how Wangcai dug her out and how Qianhe found and saved her.

The adjutant looked amused upon hearing this.

Then, looking at Wangcai, he shouted, "Men, seize him and hand him over to the commander!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers ran over and pinned him down.

At that moment, Wangcai realized what was happening and immediately shouted.

"Wait, although I was a tomb raider, I also indirectly saved Ninth Concubine."

Wangcai's words made sense to the adjutant.

However, he still said, "Whether or not I save you depends on Ninth Concubine!"

Ninth Concubine looked at him, then at Qianhe: "Master, do you know him?"

"I don't know him. Last time he lured a zombie to my doorstep and then ran away," Chizuru said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ninth Concubine understood.

Clearly, Chizuru wasn't too fond of this kid either.

"Lieutenant, break his arms and legs and let him go," Ninth Concubine said to her adjutant.

The adjutant nodded and then waved.

The next second, it was as if time itself had frozen in that instant.

Immediately afterwards, two strong soldiers rushed over like lightning. They grabbed the tomb raider Wangcai tightly, with such force that it seemed they wanted to crush his bones.

Then, one of the soldiers raised his heavy iron hammer without hesitation. The hammer gleamed coldly in the sunlight and carried a deadly intimidating force as he smashed it down hard on Wangcai's innocent knee.

..................

A deafening "bang!" exploded in the air like a thunderclap, followed by a chilling "crack" sound, as if bones were breaking. Wangcai's kneecap was instantly shattered by this ferocious blow. The intense pain contorted his previously calm face, his mouth gaping open to reveal a row of white teeth, his eyes filled with agony and terror—a truly unbearable sight.

"Wow..."

Wangcai screamed in agony, clearly in excruciating pain.

Looking at it from any direction—east, west, south, or north—makes me feel pain.

Meanwhile, Chizuru, who had witnessed everything from the sidelines, remained completely unmoved and had no intention of paying any attention. She merely frowned slightly before striding away without looking back from the bloody scene.

This is what happens to tomb raiders.

Whether it's Qianhe or Zhong Fabai, he looks down on these tomb raiders.

Why did they have to go and rob tombs?
