Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

Inside the underground tomb, a thick mist of blood kept Yan Xuefei's mercenary team at bay.

"Red mist?"

Mercenary Captain Jade stared at the blood mist before him, his brows furrowed in astonishment. He switched his wolf-eye flashlight to the yellow light defogging mode, but even though yellow light had better penetrating power in foggy weather, it was still instantly swallowed up when it shone into the blood mist.

Seeing that the wolf-eye flashlight wasn't defogging well, Jed looked at a black man next to him and asked, "Bonnie, what's going on?"

The black man named Bonnie was the team's geology expert. He was a purebred black, and especially since he was dressed in all black, he was almost invisible in the darkness, with only his large white eyes showing. He looked around and analyzed with great seriousness: "The fog is white, and the red is a phenomenon of light and shadow!"

Jade continued to frown and asked, "What light and shadow phenomenon? Explain it more clearly!"

Bonnie pointed to the vibrant red spider lilies blooming on both sides of the Yellow Springs Road behind him, and said earnestly, "There are buildings in front, which form a boundary between cold and warm air, so fog forms. Then, light shines on these red flowers and is reflected in the fog, which is what we see as the red fog!"

It must be said that this geological expert named Bonnie is indeed quite capable; he saw through the principle at a glance.

However, Jade still frowned, looked around repeatedly, and cursed, "Boni, what the hell are you talking about? This is a pitch-black cave, where is any light coming from?"

Boni scratched the back of his head after being scolded but did not refute it, because according to scientific principles, that was indeed the explanation. As for why he couldn't see the 'light', he couldn't explain it for the time being.

On the contrary, Yan Xuefei, who had been silent all along, interjected with a cold expression: "It's Light Fury!"

Yan Xuefei's tone was extremely firm, and her cold expression revealed a maturity and competence that should not exist at her age.

In fact, Yan Xuefei is not just a pretty face.

Yan Tianjiu's family has been searching for this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb for over a hundred years. Now that it has finally been unearthed, how could they possibly let just some pretty face bring in an international mercenary team?

"Just stupid?"

Because the term 'light hazard' cannot be translated into English, Yan Xuefei pronounced it in Chinese.

Jade didn't understand Chinese to begin with, and when he heard these two words, he looked completely bewildered: "Miss Yan, what does 'stupid' mean?"

Yan Xuefei gave Jade a cold glance and did not continue to explain.

Explaining metaphysics to these foreigners is like casting pearls before swine—a complete waste of breath.

Withdrawing her gaze from the distance, Yan Xuefei took out a token from her person.

This is the very same Western Han Dynasty Earth Envoy that was previously given to Chen Yibai for authentication!

The mercenary next to her stared wide-eyed as Yan Xuefei mysteriously took out the token from her body, wondering what she was planning to do and not daring to ask any further questions.

After taking out the Earth Token, Yan Xuefei took out a blank yellow paper talisman from her backpack, bit her index finger, and used the spilled blood to draw a blood talisman on the blank talisman before sticking it on the Earth Token.

Afterwards, Yan Xuefei's expression turned solemn as she muttered an incantation: "The sun rises in the east, I bestow this talisman to sweep away all misfortune, my mouth spews forth the fire of mountains, the talisman flies with the light of the gate, banishing monsters throughout the heavens and enduring all ages, breaking plagues and devouring Vajra..."

This is the "Exorcism Spell" from Maoshan Taoist magic.

Yan Xuefei looks young, but she actually knows Maoshan Taoist magic.

Although Maoshan Taoist arts do not have a rule of passing on knowledge only to men, women are still very few in number. The most famous one seems to be Ma Xiaoling from the Ma family in Northeast China.

As Yan Xuefei continued chanting incantations, the Earth Token with the talisman attached to it suddenly detached from her hand and flew into the air.

Yan Xuefei immediately formed a complex hand seal with both hands, and the talisman attached to the Earth Token suddenly burst into flames with a 'boom'.

The next second, the thick blood mist in front of them began to thin out and gradually dissipate, revealing the true appearance of the city and palaces that were originally shrouded in the blood mist.

This exaggerated and fantastical scene left the mercenaries nearby speechless, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground in astonishment.

The mercenary captain, Jade, was particularly astonished, his eyes wide with disbelief, not even daring to blink. He exclaimed inwardly, "Could this be the legendary mysterious power from the mysterious Eastern superpower?"

What surprised these foreigners was far more than that.

After the thick blood mist completely dissipated, a city appeared before them. In the center of the city stood a majestic and magnificent palace, exuding an indescribable sense of powerful oppression, causing everyone's heart to pound in their throats with excitement.

"Biotefort, Biotefort... Is this the eighth wonder of the world?"

"Oh my god, oh my god..."

Although these mercenaries had seen a lot of the world, they were all so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.

But that's normal. How could these foreigners possibly understand the historical depth of this great Eastern power?

Yan Xuefei was also shocked, but she didn't show it too obviously on her face. Instead, she glanced at the buildings surrounding the palace.

The buildings surrounding the palace were all sentry posts, with rows of heavily armored guards holding bows and crossbows standing guard on the highest floors.

After the Earth Guard appeared, all the Golden Guards knelt on one knee on the ground.

Just as Yan Xuefei had predicted, this terrain token was the 'supreme military tally' of the entire underground Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb.

All the spirits in the tomb recognize commands, not people!

Even the owner of this tomb must kneel before him!

The idea that the tomb owner had to kneel down upon seeing his own token sounds a bit far-fetched.

But in fact, Yan Xuefei had long known that the owner of this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb was nothing more than a puppet.

The story begins with the discovery of the tomb of this Western Han Dynasty earth official.

The tomb containing this Western Han Dynasty earth-carrying token was discovered to belong to the builder of this Western Han imperial mausoleum. He was a disciple of the Jiejiao sect, and his tomb contained detailed records: "Using the pretense of 'conferring gods and becoming immortals,' he tricked the Western Han emperors into building the imperial mausoleum here. Holding the earth-carrying token, he could command the underworld army and open the imperial mausoleum..."

These things were simply not told to Chen Yibai at the time.

The main purpose of hiring Chen Yibai at a high price was simply to have him use his tomb raiding skills to help find the entrance to this imperial tomb.

Looking at the Imperial Guards kneeling at the sentry post upon receiving an order, Yan Xuefei's cold expression revealed a slight sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Now that I have the Earth Token in hand, I am the true king of this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb!

Even if an army follows behind, we are not afraid at all.

No matter how many come, let them all die here!
