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

Wu Jizong is the eldest son of the head of the Wu family, the Nine Gates Commander of Changsha City.

He is also the future heir to the Wu family patriarch!

Not many people may recognize this name.

But he has a son who will be known as Old Dog Wu in the future.

Old Dog Wu had three sons, named Yi Qiong Er Bai San Sheng, and he also had an eldest grandson named Wu Tianzhen!

That's right!

The burly, dark-skinned man in front of Su Chen, with a Mauser pistol pressed against his forehead and sweat pouring down his face, was Wu Tianzhen's great-grandfather.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wu Laogou and his second brother, the two teenagers, looked anxious and wanted to sneak over to rescue their father.

But before they could succeed, Black-backed Old Six already had his Guanshan knife at the necks of the two boys.

Upon seeing this, Wu Jizong immediately shouted, "Don't touch my son! If you have any problems, come at me!"

Su Chen laughed and said quietly, "Tell me, who are you, and why are you causing us trouble?"

Wu Jizong was quite straightforward and decisively introduced himself.

“I am a member of the Wu family from the Nine Gates. I heard from my subordinates that you few were inquiring about Biaozi Ridge. Biaozi Ridge is Wu family territory, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere…”

Wu family?

Su Chen was taken aback, then subconsciously looked at the two teenagers not far away, who were being held at knifepoint by Black-backed Old Six.

One of them glared fiercely at Su Chen, his eyes full of stubbornness: "What are you looking at? You're the ones who overstepped your bounds! My father is just upholding the rules of Changsha City!"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen heard a system notification in his mind.

[Congratulations, host! You have come into contact with the story character Wu Laogou. Your clan level progress bar has increased by 8%!]

It really was him! Old Dog Wu!

Wu Laogou, Wu Tianzhen's grandfather, is also the behind-the-scenes figure who brought the Wu family to prosperity!

During the Republican era, the Wu family experienced a period of great turmoil.

The current head of the Wu family, who is also Wu Laogou's grandfather and Wu Jizong's father, is known as the Wu family's big boss, nicknamed "Old Cigarette Head".

He will soon be taking his son and grandson to excavate the Blood Corpse Tomb at Biaozi Ridge.

However, an accident occurred along the way, and apart from Wu Laogou, all the members of the main branch of the Wu family perished in the Blood Corpse Tomb.

Because Wu Laoba and his son Wu Jizong both died, the Wu family quickly fell into internal strife. Wu Laogou was young and had no choice but to be forced to go to Hangzhou by his relatives!

However, Wu Laogou was personally trained by the old leader, and he was one of the best in the Nine Gates in terms of both skill and intellect.

In just a few years, he built a successful career in Hangzhou, regained control of the Wu family, ranked fifth among the Nine Gates, and was known as Fifth Master Dog!

Of course!

Those are all things that will happen in the future. At this moment, Wu Laogou is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old impulsive and easily angered teenager.

Su Chen looked at Wu Laogou's indignant gaze and suddenly smiled.

"rule?"

"Didn't your father tell you that in this world, might makes right?"

The Nine Gates are not fixed. The rule of the Nine Gates is that whoever can defeat one of them will naturally take the other's place.

After saying that, Su Chen looked at Wu Jizong.

The latter blushed deeply with embarrassment!

He wanted to teach someone a lesson, but ended up being taught a lesson himself.

If this gets out, the other members of the Nine Gates will probably laugh at him for the rest of his life.

But for the sake of the Wu family's reputation, he still held his neck high and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I admit defeat this time. Kill me if you want. If I even flinch, I, Wu Jizong, am no hero."

No sooner had the words been spoken than the sound of wheels rolling echoed along the official road.

A wooden cart pulled by oxen hurriedly arrived.

An old man with a white beard sat on the oxcart, holding a pipe that was at least three feet long.

The old man approached, jumped off the oxcart, and said with a forced smile, "Young man, please be lenient."

Su Chen didn't seem to care, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Who are you?"

"I am the head of the Wu family. Everyone gives me face and calls me Old Master Wu. May I ask which mountain you worship, young brother, and which path you follow? If you are in the same line of work, I hope you will show mercy and spare my good-for-nothing son."

What Old Wu was saying was a slang term used by bandits.

They were asking about Su Chen's background.

This type of incision is also called "asking the mountain".

For example, street performers are called Moon Mountain.

The bandits of Changsheng Mountain were known as the bandits of the mountain bandits.

The carpenters and ink makers call it Blackwater Mountain.

Every industry has its own territory, totaling thirty-six major territories and seventy-two minor ones.

Su Chen thought for a moment. He had the Dragon-Seeking Technique and could barely be considered half a successor of the Tomb Raiders School, so he replied: "The Eight Trigrams Plate hangs a thousand gold pieces, geomancy and tomb raiding seek star peaks, there are seventy-two famous mountains in the world, but only my Dragon Tower soars to the nine heavens!"

Upon hearing this, Old Wu's head suddenly widened and his eyes widened. Perhaps because he was too excited, he didn't even notice that his pipe had fallen to the ground. He just exclaimed in surprise, "You are the successor of the tomb raiders?"

"It is."

Upon hearing this, Old Wu smiled wryly and said, "This time, I really misjudged you. I never expected that you, young man, had such a background!"

After saying this, he whistled.

Before long, more than thirty bandits wielding long spears appeared on the distant hillside.

The Wu family discovered the Warring States period tomb at Biaoziling six months ago and are also preparing to set up a cooking pot.

However, for various reasons, it has not yet come to fruition.

Su Chen's inquiries about Biaozi Ridge in the city caught the attention of the Wu family.

Old Wu then sent Wu Jizong to investigate the situation.

Wu Jizong rarely had the opportunity to take charge on his own, so he was determined to handle the matter well.

So he took it upon himself to have his two sons follow Su Chen and his group.

He discovered that Su Chen and his companions had not only inquired about Biaozi Ridge, but had also forged tomb-robbing tools at a blacksmith's shop. He then directly selected a dozen or so members of the Wu family and had them guard the road outside the city, preparing to teach Su Chen and his two companions a lesson.

I just didn't expect Su Chen and his two companions to be so powerful.

Upon receiving the news, Old Wu rushed over in a great hurry.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Su Chen and explained, "Indeed, our Wu family has offended you before. We thought you were a new tomb raider. How about this, we each take a step back. You spare my son this time, and the ancient tomb at Biaozi Ridge will be yours."

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly moved the gun barrel away.

It wasn't that they were afraid of the Wu family, but rather that Sujia Village couldn't withstand any storms.

If we rashly start a war with the Wu family, even if we win, it will probably only be a Pyrrhic victory, and we will inevitably have to sacrifice several members of our clan.

The Su family now consists of only thirty-two people, including Su Chen!

Losing even one of them would be unacceptable.

In addition, it's good to make the Wu family owe a favor; they might need it in the future.

More importantly, the Blood Corpse Tomb is too dangerous, so Su Chen doesn't plan to bring too many members of the Su family this time. Bringing Black-backed Sixth Brother and Su Yitian will be enough.

The Wu family members in front of us are perfect cannon fodder!

Thinking of this, Su Chen laughed and said, "Since Grandpa Wu has asked, I will naturally give him face. How about this, I'll provide the skills and Grandpa Wu can provide the manpower, let's join forces to cook for a while, how about it?"

Wu Laogou was young and impetuous, and even though someone had just held a knife to his neck, he didn't show much fear on his face.

They even dared to ask, with their necks craned, "What about the treasures? How are the treasures in the tomb divided?"
