Chapter 1224 1135: Tomb Raiding

As Hu Wei unexpectedly proposed visiting a brothel in front of Beiming Xue, and wanted to openly take Wang Yan along, Fang Jinchun was stunned, while Ma Jun kept his eyes fixed on Beiming Xue.

However, Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Although it's the 'Huang' character, but it's not here."

"Then where is it?" Hu Wei and the others asked simultaneously.

"Outside the Pass Qin Family, with the addition of a 'Huang' character, this place is—Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum!"

...

The next day.

Wang Yan and the five stood before Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum.

In front of them was the mausoleum, the south was surrounded by layers of mountains and verdant Lishan, the north by the meandering Wei River that lay like a silver serpent; in the midst of mountains and waters, the towering burial mound embraced by majestic peaks merged seamlessly with Lishan.

"It truly is picturesque; cultivating here would surely yield twice the results with half the effort," Fang Jinchun couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Wei scratched his head and said, "The place is indeed wonderful, but why don't I see any signs of array activity?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "If signs of array activity were so easy to spot, the Mozi Academy would have found the Outer Guan Qin Family long ago. Come, let's go inside and take a look."

Watching Wang Yan and the others move forward, Hu Wei mumbled, "Is it really here? This place doesn't feel more like a red-light district either. Going there last night wouldn't have delayed things."

Inside the grounds of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum stood twin layers of city walls, grand and awe-inspiring; inside, an imposing underground palace was built, its ceiling adorned with pearls forming sun, moon, and stars, with rivers, lakes, and seas simulated below by mercury. Notably, there were terracotta warrior chariots guarding one side of the mausoleum.

Walking within Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, Wang Yan and the others looked around keenly, although they marveled at Qin Shi Huang's extraordinary deeds, they still found no traces of the Demon Cultivator's techniques.

They had almost explored the whole mausoleum and still found nothing.

Finally losing patience, Hu Wei muttered, "I told you, better go to that alley tonight. If you're scared, I'll take responsibility myself."

At that moment, they arrived at the mausoleum's exit, and heard a guide explaining, "… according to modern archaeology, Qin Shi Huang's underground palace is perfectly preserved under the mound, untouched for thousands of years…"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's body shuddered, he quickly walked a few steps forward and asked the guide, "Are you saying that Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum has never been looted in thousands of years?"

Speaking this, Wang Yan couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

The guide looked perplexed, yet nodded and said, "Exactly, no tomb raider has ever succeeded."

Hearing this, Wang Yan's lips curled into a smile.

Then turning, he walked out of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum.

Seeing this, Fang Jinchun and the others became curious and immediately followed, asking Wang Yan, "Boss, did you find the entrance?"

"Where is the entrance?"

Wang Yan chuckled, "Though I haven't found it, it's almost like finding it."

The group asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Wang Yan explained, "Think about it, throughout thousands of years, which ancient tomb hasn't been looted? From Cao Cao setting up the Tomb Raider Captains, to Sun Dianying in the Republic era brazenly stealing, why can only Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum remain untouched?"

After pondering briefly, everyone rejoiced and said, "The Outer Guan Qin Family is hidden beneath Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum."

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Exactly, who else could fend off such powerful tomb-raiding forces?"

"Then why don't we immediately open the ground and rush in?" Hu Wei raised his fist and suggested.

Wang Yan gestured for patience, saying, "Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum is vast, where exactly do we start digging? If the disturbance is too big, it might startle them. If the Outer Guan Qin Family is as powerful as the Mozi Academy, we're poking a hornet's nest."

"Then what do we do?" Hu Wei asked, troubled.

"Tomb raiding."

...

Among the four major tomb-raiding sects: Tomb Raider, Xieling, Faqiu, Moving Mountain, now the others have faded, leaving only the Tomb Raider sect.

In the Tomb Raider sect, only one ancestor remains alive.

This person lives in Chang'an City, known in the industry as the Tomb Raider Ancestor. Just a glance can locate the hole of a tomb, thus he's called Hu Yiyi.

However, because of this ability, Hu Yiyi truly has only one eye, the other inexplicably lost sight.

One day, Hu Yiyi was sitting at home, speaking to two disciples: "As a Tomb Raider, the first is for wealth, driven by wealth is the true path…"

The two disciples nodded repeatedly.

Just then, a voice outside the door said, "What a true path for wealth."

Hu Yiyi's face turned stern, his lone eye scanned outside, coldly asking, "Sneaky like a ghost, why come here?"

Hu Yiyi's two disciples sprang up, jumped to the door, and kicked it open.

There stood five people, four men and one woman, all young.

As the door opened, the leader said, "We've come to bring wealth."

Hu Yiyi examined the five carefully, especially the leader, whose calm demeanor suggested he was a wealthy heir.

Hu Yiyi remained composed and said, "If so, please come in."

The five outside were precisely Wang Yan's group; after leaving Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, they immediately sought tomb raiders.

With their abilities, in just half a day, they found Hu Yiyi and came here directly.

Entering the doorway, Wang Yan sat facing Hu Yiyi, calmly said, "Let's cut to the chase, I'm here to hire Master Hu to raid a tomb for me."

With that, Hu Yiyi laughed heartily, "Hahaha, now it's a law-abiding society, no talk of tomb raiding."

Before Hu Yiyi finished speaking, Hu Wei raised a hand and tossed a sizable box onto the floor.

The lid opened, revealing rolls and rolls of cash, roughly counted, amounted to millions.

Seeing the money, Hu Yiyi's two disciples widened their eyes; such a payment before even starting was unprecedented.

Excitement surged in Hu Yiyi's heart, but he maintained composure, saying, "A gentleman loves wealth, but gains it rightfully, this money…"

Before Hu Yiyi finished, Ma Jun waved, and a second box hit the ground, spilling out millions more.

Hu Yiyi swallowed, looked around, seeing no further boxes from the group, knew he couldn't pretend further, nodded and said, "Fine, with such devotion, I agree, which tomb do you wish to raid? There's no tomb I, Hu Yiyi, can't handle."

"This tomb is very close, it's Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum!" Wang Yan replied.

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Hu Yiyi, who had been steady on his chair, slipped off, face turning pale as he screamed hoarsely, "I won't go—"
