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

The execution of Ding Sansi was merely a warning to others.

If we kill Jiang Yunpo, it could easily provoke a backlash from the Jiang family.

So Su Chen still kept a backup plan.

After making an example of him, the Ding and Jiang families, under Su Chen's pressure, acknowledged him as the head of their respective families.

As for the Yi family, they had long since become part of Su Chen's side.

Seeing Su Chen suppress the two families with overwhelming power, Yi Xiao couldn't help but feel excited.

The Yi family is finally going to flourish under her leadership.

Inside the ancestral hall, Su Chen sat high in the main seat.

The other three families sat to Su Chen's left.

"Let's get some rest early tonight, and start preparing the Ancestral Golden Soup tomorrow!"

Su Chen gave the instructions.

The ultimate purpose of this visit to the Yi family is to obtain this ancestral golden sanctuary.

After many twists and turns, they finally succeeded.

……

under night.

Su Chen lay in bed.

"Squeak!"

At that moment, the bamboo door opened.

Yi Xiao quietly walked in and lay down next to Su Chen.

What followed was a dramatic turn of events.

The next day.

When Yi Xiao woke up, Su Chen was already gone.

She tried to get out of bed, but found that she was in pain.

Last night's passion lasted too long, and now I'm finally reaping the consequences.

Despite her physical discomfort, Yi Xiao got dressed and saw Su Chen bring breakfast into the house.

"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you."

Su Chen handed the breakfast to Yi Xiao, "Eat something first."

Yi Xiao was a little shy.

Overall, they finally had a real conversation last night.

But seeing Su Chen get breakfast for her, Yi Xiao was touched.

It's been a long time since anyone has cared about her like this.

Although her elders in the family treated her well, how could that care from elders compare to the care between husband and wife like Su Chen's?

As Yi Xiao drank her porridge, she felt a warm glow inside.

"Thank you!"

Yi Xiao said slowly.

"It's a bit too formal for us to say thank you to each other."

Su Chen touched Yi Xiao's slightly flushed face.

Last night, Yi Xiao wasn't as shy as she is now; she was quite proactive.

"I've already told the other two families that we'll set off around noon. You should get some rest later."

Su Chen specially postponed the time to noon for Yi Xiao's sake.

……

Time flew by and it was noon.

The sun is shining brightly.

All three families were as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood, completely oblivious to the heat brought by the scorching sun.

The ancestral soup is the greatest treasure of the three families!

Rumor has it that the treasure hidden inside is enough for the three families to live a carefree life for several lifetimes.

And so, two days later, they finally reached the lower reaches of the river.

It was already night.

All the members of the three families gathered together, totaling forty or fifty people.

The group was aboard a large ship.

On the deck of the ship, various rituals requiring sacrifices had already been set up.

As the common leader of the three families, Su Chen was naturally the chief officiant.

The boat was decorated with gongs and drums, and various sacrificial offerings of cattle, sheep, and pigs.

As an arrow struck the water, flames instantly ignited on the river, forming a warning line that surrounded the entire ship.

At the same time, firecrackers are set off to ward off evil spirits, and sacrificial offerings are thrown into the water to clear a path.

Su Chen took out the Four Seas Ancestral Token and wiped a trace of his blood onto it.

In an instant, a glimmer of light flashed across the ancestral tablet.

"Open the Golden Fortress!"

Su Chen shouted loudly.

Only a dozen or so people remained on the boat; the rest rushed into the water, darting about like agile fish.

Back on the shore, Su Chen had already determined the location of the tomb using feng shui.

Now everyone followed behind Su Chen, arriving at a depth of several hundred meters underwater.

There was a huge Buddha head here. Just as Su Chen was about to use the Four Seas Ancestral Tablet to open the acupoints, countless strange vines appeared around everyone.

These vines seemed to come alive.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of white light appeared in front of everyone, and then they lost consciousness.

Only Su Chen remained sober.

Those menacing vines were just an illusion.

Everyone surged toward the Buddha's head with the current.

Su Chen immediately used the Four Seas Ancestral Token to activate the switch on the Buddha's head.

It's a vacuum zone inside.

Seawater flooded in, and the unconscious people from the three families were also swept away by the seawater.

Su Chen arrived at a special space. It seemed as if something had isolated the river water, and there was even air inside.

Those who had fallen into a coma also came here.

"Have we reached the tomb yet?"

Someone asked a question out of curiosity.

Gradually, more and more people woke up.

They were all somewhat surprised by what they saw inside the golden soup.

“Mr. Su, there is a passage over there.”

Ding Wu hurriedly reported.

He needs to perform well in front of Su Chen to secure his position as the head of the family.

"go!"

Su Chen and the others followed the passage until they arrived at a unique space.

The space was pitch black, so Su Chen threw out a torch.

The torch fell into a ditch, and instantly countless flames appeared in the ditch, igniting the entire space along the grooves in the wall.

At this moment, everyone realized that right in front of them was a nine-headed Naga statue carved from gold.

“In Buddhism, the Naga is a multi-headed, cobra-like creature with a long body, no feet, no horns, and is highly poisonous,” Yi Xiao explained about the statue. “The Naga represents royalty, so we must have come to the right place.”

Is it really made of gold?

Among the crowd, some people revealed greedy expressions.

Each of these nine-headed Naga statues is tens of feet tall.

There are a total of nine heads here.

If they were to take them all, the statues alone could fetch an astronomical sum.

"Not at all!"

After Su Chen entered, he made a cut with his Black Gold Ancient Sword and examined the materials of the Nine-Headed Naga.

“It’s made of some special materials,” Su Chen said. “Otherwise, even the royal family wouldn’t be able to collect so much gold.”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt somewhat disappointed.

Yi Xiao, however, walked to a coffin beneath the Nine-Headed Naga.

"This place is likely where concubines or meritorious officials of the royal family are buried."

Yi Xiao carefully examined the coffin and discovered a mechanism on it, so he summoned Su Chen again.

Su Chen took out the Four Seas Ancestral Token he was wearing around his neck and inserted it into the mechanism.

In an instant, a layer of cold ice appeared at the mechanism.

Immediately afterwards, ice appeared on the entire coffin.

After freezing the coffin, the ice rushed towards Su Chen.

A series of ice spikes tried to pierce Su Chen.

At the same time, the mechanisms inside the tomb fired countless arrows, attempting to kill anyone who had entered the tomb.

With lightning speed, Su Chen slashed at the ice spikes with his sword while quickly retreating several steps to avoid the trap.

I almost got into trouble before I even reached the main burial chamber.
