Tomb Raiders: After the Nine Gates Ancestor, they let loose and did whatever they wanted!

Zhang the adjutant and Yin Xinyue worked together to carry the dejected Zhang Qishan and his second substitute onto the stone bed.

It's more like an open coffin, not very tall, than a stone bed.

Perhaps it's because neither the original nor the replacement has any self-awareness.

Zhang Qishan was alright, but Yin Xinyue pulled him obediently to lie down on her, letting her do as she pleased.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Yin Xinyue thought Zhang Qishan looked like an adorable, goofy goose.

( ??_?? )

...Hahahaha (?w?) Hahahaha...

He was completely unaware of his impending demise...

Zhang Dafoye (Silly Version): Not only is he easy to fool, but he also listens to his wife and is henpecked!

Zhang Qishan No. 2 is a vivid and direct illustration of what it means to be utterly and completely heavy.

Fortunately, our adjutant Zhang is incredibly strong; carrying someone is a piece of cake, he moved it over with ease!

As they lay together on the stone bed where the ceremony was being performed, Zhang Qishan slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, his fate quietly drawing to a close...

Between the two stone beds lay a bronze dagger, its surface covered in rust, but the blade remained sharp.

Ancient and dangerous, it is the dagger used in the blood-changing ritual of the ancient Zhang family for thousands of years, stemming from the historical pursuits and unique sense of ritual of the young Zhangs...

Physical and magical attacks are maxed out! ↗

I wonder how many tetanus shots I'd need to get fully healed if I accidentally got scratched by it! ↗

Σσ? ?°???)° ??

"Madam, after entering the ancient building, I suddenly remembered that the Zhang family has special blood, obtained through the replacement of blood throughout their bodies."

It can suppress inner demons and protect one's mind; as for why, no one can explain it clearly.

I think it was also because Mr. Yu asked us to bring Buddha back to the Zhang family, and our ancestors also said that fallen leaves should return to their roots..."

Lieutenant Zhang was telling the truth. He didn't know why, but as soon as he entered the Zhang Family Ancient Building...

This sentence suddenly popped into my mind when I saw the clone in the sarcophagus.

Moreover, he also wanted to subtly probe to see if he could get some information about Mr. Yu from Yin Xinyue.

(???.???)????

Unfortunately, it was all in vain; Yin Xinyue's heart and soul were filled with thoughts of her husband, whose fate was now unknown.

Not only did he completely fail to grasp the situation, but regarding Wei Wuxian, all he knew was that he was the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, an ally personally chosen by his father, and a distinguished guest at the New Moon Hotel.

Aside from the fact that Mr. Yu is a cultivator with extraordinary abilities, I don't know much else about him...

Xianzai'er: Ding~ Received a friend card~ Today is another day of keeping the mystery going! ↗

Zhang the adjutant and Yin Xinyue placed Zhang Qishan's two wrists, one on top of the other, on a bronze disc to cushion their hands, their expressions extremely tense.

"Lieutenant, I'm counting on you! No matter what he becomes, Qishan will always be my husband!"

Yin Xinyue looked at Deputy Zhang with a firm gaze, her tone full of trust.

Lieutenant Zhang took a deep breath, picked up the bronze dagger, and carefully considered the appropriate way to modify the blade—no… the bleeding point.

Lieutenant Zhang made a light cut on their wrists, overlapping the two wounds so that the blood gradually mingled and flowed back into the wound.

She gripped Zhang Qishan's other hand tightly, her heart pounding so hard she could hear her own breathing.

"It has to succeed!" Yin Xinyue prayed silently in her heart.

Lieutenant Zhang moved swiftly and cautiously, intently observing the blood flowing through the wound to replace the evil spirits.

To ensure the blood transfusion proceeded smoothly, time seemed to stand still, each second feeling incredibly long…

In the tense atmosphere, Zhang, the adjutant, and Yin Xinyue prayed silently, hoping that the blood transfusion would be successful and that their beloved husband would overcome the difficulties.

( ??????w?????)??3??

As the ceremony progressed, Yin Xinyue and Zhang, the adjutant, entered the Zhang Family Ancient Building and communicated through breathing.

Inhaling a significant amount of the golden liquid sprayed by the black-eyed man beforehand produced a hallucinogenic effect.

In Yin Xinyue's eyes, Zhang Qishan's veins bulged like coiled dragons, and blood was clearly visible running down his veins.

Through their discussion, they discovered that her wrist served as the central control point, continuously channeling energy into the clone's body, as if giving her husband new life! ↗

In the end, Zhang Qishan, who had come with them, vanished like smoke, turning into dust and silently merging into the world...

Meanwhile, the second clone of Zhang Qishan gradually regained his rosy complexion, becoming indistinguishable from a normal person, and his heartbeat became as steady as a newborn child's.

Lieutenant Zhang watched as the Qiongqi tattoo on Buddha's body throbbed, seemingly about to burst through his skin.

He didn't think it was a hallucination; he simply assumed it was a natural phenomenon resulting from the blood transfusion.

Lieutenant Zhang: I'm standing right in front of you. How much do I resemble my former self? Under Mr. Yu's tutelage, I've become unfazed by such methods of disappearing!

?＞?o??

A life for a life, a miraculous return from the dead—all come at a price. Everything in this world is equal in value.

The biggest difference between the Zhang family and ordinary people lies in their bloodline power!

Lieutenant Zhang looked at Zhang Dafoye, whose natal Qiongqi spirit appeared on his body. With the consumption of his bloodline power, the corrupting evil energy that had been purifying Qiongqi was now being purified.

But the little Qiongqi was already severely weakened and was constantly shrinking. It barely managed to save its own life after many hardships.

It landed on Zhang Qishan No. 2, but Zhang's adjutant did not see the tattoo appear.

The little Qiongqi disappeared into a new body; it's unclear whether it vanished or simply went into complete silence.

Immediately, the original Zhang Dafoye also dissipated into particles. At this point of disappearance, Yin Qingyue and Zhang's adjutant saw the same thing.

Little Qiongqi: I'm alive, yet it feels like I'm not... At least my life is spared.
