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

Hanging on the cliff face, even if Su Chen wanted to take revenge, he couldn't fly over there. So even though he was a little unwilling, he didn't change his mind.

Let the mandrill take this guy away.

It took the group a day to return to Qingxi Ancient Town, and another half day to get back to the small shop on Fengwo Mountain.

Xu Aoyu was sitting in the courtyard, helping to stretch a thin iron wire, which had already been stretched to the thickness of a violin string.

Upon seeing her, Li Shuguo immediately ran over.

"master."

"Little Tree Kingdom, why are you back?"

Xu Aoyu was somewhat surprised. She thought that after seeing Li Shuguo off, this would be the end of her life, and she would never see Li Shuguo again.

Unexpectedly, Li Shuguo returned. She glanced at the door and saw Su Chen and the others again, and was momentarily stunned.

Clearly surprised by Su Chen's actions, Su Chen didn't need to stop here at all; he could have left with his men. But he came specifically to make Li Shuguo stay.

"Senior Xu, please don't misunderstand. It's just that it's getting dark, and we're preparing to leave tomorrow."

"Chief Su, you're too kind. You can stay anywhere you like if you wish to rest."

Xu Aoyu smiled slightly and said.

He showed no airs of a senior, and instead got up to get some food for Chen Xuan and the others.

Li Shuguo quickly offered to handle it himself. He took the money and traded it with his neighbor for two chickens, which he then prepared right next to Xu Aoyu.

"Master, you don't know how many things I saw this time, including many of the mechanisms that are only found in the Wuhou Hidden Troop Map."

"Ah."

Xu Aoyu had long regarded Li Shuguo as her own son. She nodded slightly and listened to what Li Shuguo had to say without interrupting.

After hearing that Feng Shigu had truly become a Corpse Immortal, I felt a pang of sympathy for Li Shuguo.

However, after learning that the Corpse Immortal was actually Corpse Moss, he was quite surprised.

Li Shuguo seemed surprised by Xu Aoyu's obvious reaction. He touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

While the master and apprentice were chatting.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle squatted at the doorway smoking.

The former, listening to the sounds from the backyard, said with some helplessness.

"This silly boy is often scared out of his wits, but now he's become the key to the story? If Su Chen hadn't told me not to stop him, I would have given him a good talking to."

“Su Chen never said such a thing. You said it yourself.”

Partridge Whistle glanced at him upon hearing this and shook his head slightly.

Clearly, they were a little dissatisfied with this response.

Chen Yulou didn't care about Partridge Whistle's rebuttal, and instead continued to look outside, asking with some curiosity.

"When do you think this guy will finally figure out the real reason we're staying here?"

"This kid's skill lies in his mastery of mechanisms. Can we really take him with us on every tomb raiding trip? We can keep an eye on him this time because there are many people, but what if we have to take him with us next time when there are fewer people?"

Partridge Whistle had followed Su Chen for a long time and knew what Su Chen was thinking at this moment.

He spoke up first, saying, "For us, if we want this kid to be of the greatest use, he should stay here as a tool. Going into the tomb would be a waste."

That's true.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou nodded repeatedly, feeling that there was absolutely no problem with the matter.

He glanced around and found that Black Back Six and the others were all busy with their own things, but Su Chen seemed to be missing.

"Huh? Where did Chief Su go?"

On the pond next to the town, a young man sat by the river, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and fishing with a smile.

He sat there for half an hour, and not a single fish came up.

An elderly man standing nearby couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to remind him.

"Kid, you didn't bait this spot. Even if there are big fish here, they won't come."

"Grandpa, I've already baited the spot for the fish I'm fishing for."

Su Chen laughed and retorted when he heard this.

That old man comes fishing every day when he has nothing to do. How could he not know whether or not the bait has been prepared?

Just assuming it was because the young man was a bit too hot-blooded and thought he could handle anything, the old man didn't say anything more, gently shook his head and left.

After a while, a guy wearing a cloak sat down next to Su Chen. He didn't have a fishing rod in his hand, but just a piece of bamboo pole to use as a fishing rod.

"You came?"

Su Chen glanced at the people beside him, but didn't expose his identity. Instead, he asked with a hint of surprise.

The guy whose face was covered by the cloak spoke up first.

"I am coming."

If Chen Yulou and the others heard that familiar voice, they would definitely recognize his identity.

Feng Ziping.

Feng Ziping's face was now ashen, and the light in his eyes had gradually faded. His fingers gripping the fishing rod looked like nothing but skin and bones.

Looking at his appearance, Su Chen suppressed the urge to kill him and asked.

"I thought you wouldn't dare to come?"

"I'm a dead man, what's there to be afraid of?"

Feng Ziping said calmly.

"Actually, I came to see you because I felt that some things needed to be resolved."

His voice was hoarse, as if he were about to die.

"My body is the result of my own sins and has nothing to do with you. My only goal from beginning to end was to kill the Corpse Immortal, but I never expected it to end like this."

"Feng Shigu never expected that his fate was sealed the moment he led his men down into the Tomb of the Earthly Immortals."

Su Chen spoke calmly.

The saying "God has eyes" isn't just empty words; it's just that most people's daily actions don't touch upon this matter.

Feng Ziping paused for a moment, which was taken as tacit agreement with Su Chen's words. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Su Chen.

“The Coffin Gorge is filled with a large amount of ancient corpse energy. Although you have left, the effects of that corpse energy are still there, and it will affect their bodies in time. This prescription is specifically designed to deal with this corpse energy.”

"Thanks."

Su Chen took the note and grabbed Feng Ziping's wrist, finding that the guy's body was extremely cold, like a dead person.

He wasn't lying about this; he really was going to die.

Su Chen released his hand and sighed softly. In fact, before meeting this guy, he had thought about killing him directly.

But when he realized that this guy would die from the corpse poison, he suddenly felt that killing him might be too lenient. There was still only one way left.

"Go now. For the rest of your days, find a good place to bury yourself."

Feng Ziping staggered to his feet, clasped his hands together, and said to Su Chen.

"Feng Ziping, on behalf of the Feng family, thanks Clan Chief Su."

He left behind a book of secret strategies for viewing the mountains and then turned and left.
