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

Inside the mortuary.

A brief rest.

General Luo was overjoyed as he looked at the funerary objects laid out on the ground.

"Let's break up now, then everyone can go home."

Commander Luo's team suffered significant losses this time.

However, after seeing these funerary objects, Luo Laowai felt that it wasn't a complete loss.

"It's probably a bit too early to break up now."

Su Chen said slowly, "The threat has not been eliminated."

"Danger? What danger?" Old Luo looked around. "We're already out of the tomb, what danger could there be?"

"I refuse to believe it. That six-winged centipede and the Xiangxi Corpse King are dead beyond any doubt. They can't possibly crawl out of their graves again, can they?"

Commander Luo was getting impatient.

"Sometimes the danger comes not only from inside the tomb, but also from the outside world."

Su Chen took out a letter and handed it to Commander Luo. "This is the letter I found on Lieutenant Yang."

At that moment, Deputy Officer Yang turned into a puddle of thick water, and Su Chen took the letter out of his pocket when no one was looking.

Luo Laowai's expression changed after he opened the letter.

"That son of a bitch betrayed his own people! I'll go to hell with him! He's just lucky he died young."

"If he were still alive, I would grind him to dust."

Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Luo Laowai was so angry that he cursed.

Unexpectedly, his most trusted adjutant colluded with Commander Ma of Yunnan, intending to seize his power from within and without.

"Arrange a counterattack. That guy surnamed Ma is no good either." Commander Luo quickly gave the order, wanting to take advantage of Commander Ma's exhaustion from the journey and deliver a blow to his head.

However, Commander Luo has lost many of his men.

"Mr. Chen, you have to help me out."

Commander Luo looked at Chen Yulou.

Without Chen Yulou's help, he wouldn't have become the commander-in-chief.

If he didn't have his brothers from the Unloading Ridge faction, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Commander Ma from Yunnan.

"Alright, I'll leave these brothers from the Unloading Ridge faction to you for now."

Chen Yulou didn't dwell on it too much.

If Commander Luo can't defeat Commander Ma, it will be a big problem for everyone.

Luo Laowai led his men to ambush the enemy.

As for Chen Yulou and the others, they sat down to rest.

"President Chen, you lead the way, Partridge Whistle, we can't rest either, there's another matter to handle," Su Chen said. "Ping Mountain is a place of outstanding natural beauty, and there are quite a few demonic beasts inside."

"I still need an inner core."

Su Chen looked at Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle.

"Leave this matter to us."

Mr. Chen nodded. Just now in the tomb, Su Chen could be said to have saved everyone's lives.

"Old Dao, you should go with them too."

Su Chen gave the instructions.

Su Chen planned to have them deal with the white ape.

The white ape must have cultivated for over a hundred years and possesses an inner core within its body.

Su Chen planned to take this inner core back to Su Family Village.

After everyone had left, Su Chen gave Su Yitian some more instructions.

"You must take good care of that Angry Phoenix breeding chicken," Su Chen instructed.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen."

After learning of the Angry Phoenix Chicken's ferocity, Su Yitian regarded it as a divine beast, fearing that he might do it a disservice.

"After we took this chicken home, we fed it with herbs on a regular basis."

Su Chen said, "From now on, it will be our village's sacred chicken."

If any poisonous insects, snakes, or toxic gases enter Sujia Village, this Angry Phoenix breeder will quickly become alert.

With it there, some petty scoundrels cannot get close to Sujia Village.

This chicken is evenly matched with a six-winged centipede that has cultivated for over three hundred years; ordinary people are no match for it.

"Alright, everyone go down, let me get some rest."

Su Chen lay down on the bed.

First, he fought with the six-winged centipede, and then he fought with the Xiangxi Corpse King.

Although Su Chen was not injured, he was exhausted.

Yin Xinyue placed Su Chen's head on her lap so that Su Chen could rest his head more comfortably.

Then, Yin Xinyue massaged Su Chen.

Looking at Su Chen's sleeping face, Yin Xinyue liked him more and more. How could there be such a good man in the world?

He is handsome, brave, knows how to act, and is also very strong.

This made Yin Xinyue feel that she had made the right choice in marrying Su Chen.

……

The sky outside had turned black without us even noticing.

Night falls.

The sound of gunfire woke Su Chen.

"Have Commander Luo and that Commander Ma already started fighting?"

Su Chen sat up in bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"We've already engaged in combat."

Yin Xinyue nodded. "By the way, President Chen and Mr. Partridge Whistle have also returned, and this is the inner core they brought back."

"According to Chief Chen, it was a white ape that had achieved great cultivation and possessed immense strength."

"They suffered a lot back then."

"Fortunately, this white ape's defense is far inferior to that of the six-winged centipede."

"Otherwise, they might not be a match for that white ape."

Although the white ape was powerful, Partridge Whistle could pierce its body with a single broken piece of wood.

This shows that the white ape is not a threat.

That's why Su Chen sent President Chen and Partridge Whistle and the others.

Xiao Shenfeng and Hei Bei Lao Liu's Guanshan knives could easily pierce the white ape's skin.

Looking at Yin Xinyue's injured inner core, Su Chen said, "Keep this inner core safe and soak it in water for the villagers to drink every day."

When the inner elixir is soaked in water, its medicinal properties will also be released along with the water.

Long-term consumption of this water can also prolong the lives of the villagers and keep them healthy and free from disasters.

Several hours later, the sound of gunfire gradually subsided.

Commander Luo has returned with his troops.

The ambush was brilliantly executed; Commander Ma suffered heavy losses, with only a few small fry escaping.

Commander Luo plans to take over his rival's territory in a while and expand his sphere of influence.

"Mr. Su, you're good at reading faces, why don't you help me see if it's a good idea for me to take over Commander Ma's territory?"

Luo Laowai came over, wanting Su Chen to take a look at him.

"It's going smoothly in the short term, a good omen. But in the long run..."

Su Chen did not say it explicitly.

“Mr. Su, please just say it. I, Lao Luo, am a rough man and don’t understand what you mean,” said Luo Laowai.

"Living on the edge of a knife, Commander Luo may be in a different line of work than us, but the essence is the same," Su Chen said unhurriedly. "Warlords are fighting each other, and the world is in a difficult state."

"We might encounter danger and die next time we go into the tomb, and isn't the same true for Commander Luo?"

At that time, there were hundreds of warlords of varying sizes in the country. Some of the major warlords were like Zhang Dashuai in the Northeast, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and occupied the territory of several provinces.

There were also those like Commander Luo, who only had a few thousand guns under their command.

These minor warlords are the most dangerous in chaotic times; they can be destroyed if they are not careful, and their territory and wives will eventually be taken over by other warlords.
