Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

The Ding family finally arrived.

Yi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then tensed up again.

In the past two years, the Ding family has become increasingly powerful and has been trying every means to force the Yi family to give up the Lancang River basin.

They wanted to take advantage of the situation and seize the Yi family's territory.

As for the Jiang family, although they also harbored the intention to seize the Yi family's territory, they never revealed it.

They'll only sabotage you behind your back.

"I'll go and invite them."

Yi Xiao stood up and led the two elders outside.

Before long, Yi Xiao led dozens of people into the ancestral hall.

The leader was an elderly man with a vigorous spirit. He leaned on a cane made of golden nanmu wood, his hair was gray, but his face was ruddy and he was full of energy.

"Yi Sanmei! It's been years since we last met."

The head of the Ding family greeted the third aunt.

"I'm wondering the same thing. You old codger, you're over eighty years old, aren't you? Why aren't you buried yet?"

Third Aunt didn't have a good impression of Ding Sansi.

Over the years, the two families have had several frictions, which, although they were all unpleasantness between the younger generation, were enough to prove that the Ding family's intentions were not pure.

They kept testing the Yi family's reaction.

Therefore, Third Aunt's words were somewhat harsh.

"You're not dead yet, why should I die so soon?"

Ding Sansi sat down in the armchair with a smile, looking at Su Chen directly above him.

The last time we met was several months ago.

At that time, Ding Sansi was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Chen and wanted to force Su Chen to hand over the Four Seas Ancestral Token.

However, since they weren't on his own turf at the time, Ding Sansi didn't speak.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen actually came to the Three Rivers Basin on his own initiative. It's a good opportunity to find a way to seize the Four Seas Ancestral Token and give the Yi family a warning.

They honored a junior as the leader and even made them sit in the main seat.

The Yi family members are indeed spineless.

"Old Ding is not dead. This is Mr. Su, who is now the leader of the Three Rivers Water Demons. Hurry up and pay your respects to Mr. Su."

Third Aunt glared at Ding Sansi and scolded him.

"Heh, leader? I don't acknowledge that."

The head of the Ding family shook his head. "The Four Seas Ancestral Token has been missing for so many years, who knows if it's real or fake."

"Moreover, for the past few hundred years, our three families have been acting independently. Suddenly, someone comes out and wants to ride roughshod over our Ding family. Let alone me, we should ask the younger generation of our Ding family if they agree."

As Ding Sansi finished speaking, the dozens of energetic young members of the Ding family standing behind him glared at Su Chen and shouted, "We disagree!"

The atmosphere became tense.

Ding Sansi has already made his stance clear—he does not respect ancestral teachings.

He wanted to see what Su Chen would think after hearing that.

"Ding Sansi, have you forgotten the rules of the Three Rivers Water Demon?"

Before Su Chen could speak, Yi Xiao angrily rebuked the head of the Ding family.

"You bastard, how dare you call me by my name?"

Ding Sansi slammed his hand on the tea table beside him. "Is there no one left in the Yi family? A junior dares to act so presumptuously."

“I am the head of the Yi family. Although I am a junior, my status is no less than yours. What’s wrong with calling you Ding Sansi?”

Yi Xiao glared at Ding Sansi.

It is true that the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.

Unexpectedly, Ding Sansi actually confronted the owner of the Four Seas Ancestral Token to his face.

"Xiao Xiao!"

Third Aunt stopped Yi Xiao, signaling her not to speak anymore.

In this tense situation, if a fight were to break out, it would be disadvantageous for both sides.

"How can you possibly gain recognition for the status of the Four Seas Ancestral Token?"

Su Chen looked at Ding Sansi.

"Hmph, now that you possess the Four Seas Ancestral Token, you must demonstrate your strength," Ding Sansi said. "How about this, Mr. Su, show us just what kind of power you've obtained?"

"You too?"

Black-backed Lao Liu carried a Guanshan knife, pointing it at the Ding family members.

Su Chen is the patriarch of Su Family Village, and the Su Family's current strength is several times greater than that of the Ding Family.

They actually dared to let Su Chen show off his skills.

"I am here; who dares to try?"

Blackie Lao Liu, carrying a knife, headed towards the open space in front of the ancestral hall, his demeanor full of provocative tension.

"Master, I'll go test this person's abilities."

"Uncle, let me go. I must teach him a lesson."

"Clan leader, this person is disrespectful to the Ding family. He deserves to die ten times to appease our Ding family's anger."

"..."

The dozens of juniors standing behind Ding Sansi were eager to try and defeat Blackback Six, wanting to give Su Chen a taste of his own medicine.

"Ding Tao, go and give it a try."

Ding Sansi dared not be presumptuous and sent one of the best young members of the Ding family to test Blackback Six.

"Don't worry, Chieftain, I will certainly live up to your mission."

A man in his thirties with a stern face, carrying a sword, came to the front of the ancestral hall and stood opposite Black-backed Old Six.

For some reason, Ding Tao hadn't noticed anything before, but now, standing opposite Blackback Six, he suddenly felt a sense of oppression.

The other party must be a master!

But isn't he also one of the best among his peers?

If he could defeat his opponent, he would surely be praised by the family head, and might even be able to succeed Ding Sansi as the new head of the Ding family in the future.

Therefore, this battle must be fought brilliantly to demonstrate the prestige of the Ding family!

Ding Tao stood there with his sword in hand. "Come on, I'll give you three moves!"

After speaking, Ding Tao looked at the family head and the group of his peers.

He noticed that everyone was looking at him excitedly.

In this battle, he will become famous in the Three Rivers Water Demon and become the number one among the younger generation.

"rub!"

Blackback Six drew his long sword with incredible speed, appearing in front of Ding Tao in the next second.

Immediately, Blackback Sixth Brother swung his sword down.

This strike was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Ding Tao raised his sword to parry, but he didn't expect his opponent to be so strong.

Ding Tao was forced to kneel on one knee, enduring the force of the blow.

Blackback Sixth Brother smiled contemptuously, thinking that he was so powerful, showing off in front of others and letting him use three moves.

Unexpectedly, he was already struggling to defend himself after only making his first strike.

Black-backed Old Six drew his knife again, this time cleaving the sword out of Ding Tao's hand. Then, Black-backed Old Six kicked Ding Tao five or six meters away.

By the time Ding Tao realized what was happening, Black-backed Old Six's knife was already at his neck.

Seeing this, the Ding family members were somewhat embarrassed.

The more excited they were shouting just now, the more subdued their morale has become.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated before he could even withstand three moves.

It's so embarrassing.

Losing face in front of one's own family is one thing, but now it's happening in front of the Yi family.

Ding Sansi was so angry that his face turned red.

"It doesn't count. We are a family of water demons from the Three Rivers. It's against the rules for us to compete on the ground."

Ding Sansi shamelessly retorted, "Only when we're in the water can we truly demonstrate our strength."

"Also, this person doesn't seem to be from the Su family, does he?"

Ding Sansi felt that Black Back Six's moves looked somewhat familiar.
