Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 792 792: Write or Die!

Qin Heng had just arrived in Ren Cang City today.

However, he didn't immediately go to explore Zi Rong's tomb because he needed to nurture the Thunder Crystal Stone he had obtained earlier and use his mana to transform its thunderous power into the force of yin and yang, which then condensed into a power imbued with the aura of Chaos.

This was not a short process, requiring at least two to three days, so Qin Heng worked on it daily.

The exploration of the ancient tomb was not urgent.

After all, the tomb was there and it wasn't going anywhere. The relics inside wouldn't be moved in a short period either, as they were likely to get damaged in transit, and most were preserved on-site.

Even if relics were moved to other locations, the archaeological research teams would have clear records and documentation.

Therefore, the exploration of the tomb wasn't urgent within a day or two.

As night deepened and the moonlight grew heavy, Qin Heng was in his hotel room, nurturing the Thunder Crystal Stone and permeating it with his mana, when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

His Divine Sense moved slightly.

He knew it was Wu Liang from the room across the hall.

Qin Heng didn't know this Wu Liang. However, he could clearly sense that the man's karmic virtue was severely depleted and his vitality lacking. A dark aura clouded Wu Liang's brow, signaling he had committed many despicable acts and that disaster loomed over him.

"Who is it?" Qin Heng pretended not to know and asked casually. He put away the Thunder Crystal Stone, walked over, and opened the door with a slight frown. "Who are you?"

"Haha, Young Master Qin, it really is you! I have always admired you greatly!"

Wu Liang adopted a chummy tone, saying, "I am a loyal fan of Daqin Group. I buy every Daqin Group product I can afford. I never expected to meet you here, the young master of Daqin Group!"

"What do you want?" Qin Heng asked indifferently, his expression calm and seemingly unaffected.

However, Wu Liang's eyes lit up, his mind suddenly whirring. In his view, as long as Qin Heng didn't immediately kick him out, it signaled an opportunity.

"Young Master Qin, you've come to Ren Cang City for the ancient tomb, right?"

Wu Liang said to Qin Heng with a fawning expression, "Actually, my companion and I are history enthusiasts. When we heard news of the tomb's discovery, we rushed over immediately, hoping to witness the magnificence of the Pre-Qin era.

Unfortunately, the tomb has now been secured by the national archaeological research team, and they don't allow ordinary people like us to visit. It's really disheartening to have traveled so far only to return without seeing anything."

"What are you trying to say?" Qin Heng looked at Wu Liang with a half-smile. "You want to use my influence to get you into the archaeological research base at the tomb?"

He had already seen through Wu Liang's intentions.

"Young Master Qin has such discerning eyes!" Wu Liang chuckled, took out his phone, and flipped to a photo for Qin Heng to see.

It was a photo of a youthful and pretty girl in her early twenties. She looked pure and adorable with delicate features, dressed in a white, lace-trimmed dress that highlighted her shapely figure—undoubtedly a stunning beauty.

Wu Liang chuckled and said, "Young Master Qin, she's also one of my companions, just twenty-one this year, a very passionate history enthusiast. She told me she'd be willing to pay any price if she could visit the Pre-Qin tomb this time."

Any price!

The implication behind these words was very clear.

Wu Liang was very confident about this.

Although someone like Young Master Qin, from a wealthy family, certainly doesn't lack women, Wu Liang thought, he probably wouldn't reject a beauty offering herself on a platter. After all, what man complains about having too many women?

Besides, he mused, taking someone to visit an ancient tomb would be a piece of cake for Young Master Qin, the young master of Daqin Group, requiring no effort at all.

To get such a top-tier beauty so easily, why wouldn't he? It's a complete win-win!

Wu Liang couldn't even think of a reason for Qin Heng to refuse.

Impossible to refuse.

Absolutely impossible!

"This girl is indeed quite nice, hahaha!" Qin Heng laughed, then stepped aside to make some space and opened the door wider. "Come in and let's talk."

"Thank you, Young Master Qin," Wu Liang chuckled, a knowing smile on his face. He followed Qin Heng into the room, his attitude utterly humble. "Rest assured, Young Master Qin, my companion will be absolutely obedient and won't cause you the slightest displeasure."

"The way you put it, it sounds as if I'd agree to take you to the ancient tomb just because of her." Qin Heng smiled faintly, then his gaze sharpened, and he sneered, "You lot... intend to go tomb raiding?"

"Wha— What!?" Wu Liang's smile froze on his face as he turned pale with shock, looking at Qin Heng incredulously. "How could that be? How could you... Young Master Qin, you must be joking, right? We're all law-abiding citizens, how could we be Tomb Robbers?"

"Sigh, Young Master Qin, if you really don't wish to take us there, we won't insist. But why slander us by accusing us of being Tomb Robbers? We absolutely cannot bear such an accusation!!"

As he spoke, Wu Liang stood up and walked towards the door, intending to leave Qin Heng's room.

He was extremely shocked.

He never expected that a rich heir, brought up in the lap of luxury, would possess such keen observational and deductive skills!

He actually saw straight through my identity!

Damn it!

Wu Liang cursed inwardly.

At the same time, he was already considering whether he should just kill Qin Heng right there to prevent his identity as a Tomb Robber from being exposed.

If his identity were exposed, then he could forget about making a score in that Pre-Qin era tomb this time!

That would be a huge loss!!

In Wu Liang's view, cutting off his source of wealth was an offense that bred a hatred deeper than that for the killer of one's own parents. Such a blood feud, regardless of who the other party was, had to be repaid with their life!

If we really end up with nothing this time, you damn brat, just wait for death!! Wu Liang's murderous intent surged. He even began planning how to kill Qin Heng in a way that would maximize his own benefits.

"Stop!"

Qin Heng's indifferent voice rang out.

Wu Liang froze on the spot. He felt an invisible force in the air binding him, rendering his limbs immovable!!

What was going on!?

Wu Liang had raided quite a few tombs and seen some strange phenomena, but the situation before him was beyond his imagination, leaving him feeling incredulous and terrified.

"Who... who exactly are you!?" Wu Liang looked at Qin Heng in extreme fear, stammering, "What do you want to do!??"

"Tomb Robber, you've bought quite a few ancient cultural artifacts," Qin Heng said indifferently. "Write down all the artifacts you've handled. Indicate the tomb locations, the eras, who you sold them to, and where they were sold. Make everything clear."

"I—I can't remember clearly anymore!" Wu Liang stammered.

BANG!

Wu Liang was sent flying by Qin Heng's kick. He slammed into the wall with a muffled thud and stuck there.

"If you can't write it out, then die!" Qin Heng said indifferently.
