Jiang Yan looked down at the wailing old man from his high position, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

Jiang Yan didn't know how many large tombs this group of tomb raiders had robbed, or whether their hands were stained with human blood. All he knew was that those who kill will be killed in return!

These tomb raiders were already dead the moment they started trying to kill them.

Jiang Yan asked indifferently, "Speak, did you rob the tomb of the Nanzhao princess?"

The old man did not reply. He wailed in pain, his eyes filled with nothing but agony and endless hatred for Jiang Yan!

Did not say?

Jiang Yan stomped his foot, and the old man's sternum cracked!

Intense pain, accompanied by a feeling of suffocation, assaulted the old man's nerves in waves.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and cried out in anguish, "I'll talk, I'll talk, we did indeed rob the tomb of a princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom in the Ailao Mountains."

Just as I expected… Jiang Yan loosened his grip on his leg and said coldly, “Tell me the whole story!”

"Okay, okay..." the old man said, panting heavily, "We...we received a mission to come to the Ailao Mountains..."

"Wait!" Jiang Yan frowned. "A mission? Who gave you this mission?"

"It's Mr. K. He's cooperated with us many times, but he's never revealed his identity; he's very mysterious." The old man gasped, "He's the one who told us about the tomb of the Nanzhao princess in the Ailao Mountains."

"The Ailao Mountains are a dangerous place, how dare you go in?" Jiang Yan sneered, "You really value money over your lives."

"Of course I knew it was dangerous, so I only sent half the men. Even if we failed, we wouldn't be severely weakened," the old man snorted. "But they were really lucky. They found and dug up the Nanzhao princess very quickly. Unfortunately, on their way back, they encountered a beast tide and most of them died. Only two of them managed to escape. The Nanzhao princess's body was also abandoned by them in a small town outside the Ailao Mountains."

"So you're planning to go to the town this time to retrieve the body of the Nanzhao princess?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile.

The old man nodded: "Yes, we originally planned to set off at dawn, when there would be far fewer monsters outside the Ailao Mountains, but we didn't expect to see the aurora..."

"Still thinking about the aurora, huh?" Jiang Yan sneered. "Old man, you..."

hum~~~

Just then, a slight tremor suddenly came from the old man's arms.

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "A phone call?"

"It should be Mr. K." The old man swallowed hard.

"Turn on speakerphone," Jiang Yan said with a smile.

The old man took out his phone, answered the call, and put it on speakerphone: "Hello, Mr. K."

"Old Ghost, when does the operation begin?" A somewhat childish ghostly voice came from the other end of the phone, clearly processed with a voice changer.

"Quite cautious..." Jiang Yan listened silently.

"We'll set off at the crack of dawn," Old Ghost said through gritted teeth.

"No matter how many lives are lost, I'm going to have Princess Nanzhao!" Mr. K said. "If you can successfully complete this mission, I'll double the final payment and the compensation!"

The old man's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed. All his men were dead, and his own fate was uncertain. What use was money then?

"Okay, is there anything else?" The old man wanted to hang up the phone as soon as possible.

"What's the rush!" Mr. K snorted somewhat impatiently. "Once the matter with the Nanzhao princess is settled, you'll immediately move on to your next mission!"

"Next task?" The old man glanced at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan squinted and slowly nodded at him.

"Who do you want to steal next?" the old man asked through gritted teeth.

"The Great Han... Champion Marquis!" Mr. K's voice came slowly from the other end of the phone, but it shocked Jiang Yan and the old man so much that their eyes widened!

Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty, a famous general of the Han Dynasty who was famous throughout history, once sealed the wolf's lair and was ordered by Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, to be buried in his Maoling Mausoleum after his death. How dare you steal from such a person?

Jiang Yan stared at the phone in disbelief.

"You, you've gone mad!!" the old man exclaimed. "The Marquis of Champion is buried in Maoling, a key national protected cultural relic, and you..."

"It's not like I'm asking you to rob Emperor Wu of Han's tomb, what are you panicking about?" Mr. K snorted.

The old man didn't know what to say, so he looked at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and silently said, "Purpose!"

The old man, understanding the implied meaning, gritted his teeth and asked, for the sake of his own life, "Mr. K, you've been robbing the tomb of the Nanzhao princess, and now you're trying to rob the tomb of the Marquis of Champion. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Hmph..." Mr. K sneered, "Old ghost, you just need to do your job. The rest is none of your business."

After saying that, Mr. K hung up the phone.

beep...

The busy tone of the phone made both the old man and Jiang Yan fall silent.

After a long while, the old man finally spoke: "Jiang Taigong, I've told you everything you need to know, and you've heard it all. I'm just a glove; the real mastermind is Mr. K. I... I can help you lure him out, using the corpse of the Nanzhao princess!"

"But I don't believe you." Jiang Yan bent down and grabbed the other person's phone, saying, "Old ghost, huh? In your next life, be a good person."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan pointed his finger, and a bolt of lightning struck down with a deafening roar.

Crack!

Lightning burst forth on the old ghost's body, and before he could even scream, he was instantly electrocuted into charcoal, beyond dead!

Jiang Yan looked around at the charred corpses, surprisingly feeling little emotion.

He looked up at the night sky; the bright moon still hung high in the night.

Jiang Yan quickly tidied up the scene, then drove to the wilderness, took out a spirit-level treasure chest from his backpack, placed it on the ground, and opened it.

hum~~

The dazzling aurora borealis once again soared into the night sky, intertwining with the moonlight and reflecting each other's brilliance.

Jiang Yan looked at it for a while, then lowered his head and started playing with Lao Gui's phone.

He opened his contacts, which contained many phone numbers, but not Mr. K's.

He checked his call log and found that Mr. K's number was listed as an "unknown caller"!

"A satellite phone? Or an encrypted VoIP phone?" Jiang Yan thought for a moment and decided to hand the phone over to Hua Yingxiong when he got back, so that the relevant departments could handle it.

only……

Jiang Yan rubbed his phone, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Old Ghost couldn't guess Mr. K's purpose, but Jiang Yan could guess it pretty accurately!

After the Nanzhao princess was unearthed, she was affected by the game's invasion of reality and her corpse transformed into a spirit-level BOSS, Hanba. If the Champion Marquis of the Han Dynasty were unearthed, once he also transformed into a corpse, he would probably become a spirit-level BOSS as well, or even a higher-ranking one!

These high-ranking bosses, though they lose their memories of their previous lives, can still communicate. Once you gain control of them... this is absolutely a terrifying force capable of overturning everything!

"The Nanzhao princess shouldn't be Mr. K's first target, and the Champion Marquis certainly won't be the last. We must find him as soon as possible; this guy is too dangerous!"

Jiang Yan immediately took out his phone and dialed Hua Yingxiong's number.
