Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

"These people split into three factions because of the losses they suffered."

"Huo Xiangu tried her best to protect Zhang Qiling, Xie Jiuye helped to mediate, and Wu Laogou protected himself."

"Er Yuehong is on Zhang Qishan's side."

"Because of Huo Xiangu's interference, Zhang Qishan had no choice but to give up on shifting the blame to Zhang Qiling."

"Because the core members of the Nine Gates generation were all gone, the higher-ups abandoned the idea of ​​the Nine Gates going back and instead turned to some people in the general public."

"Among them, Chen Wenjing of the Northern School was the captain."

"The Banna archaeological team, ostensibly conducting archaeology, was actually carrying out a funeral procession; they wanted to bury the person in Old Zhang's ancestral graveyard."

"But that operation was sabotaged by Master Xie Jiu. The coffin was stolen and a large amount of data was destroyed."

"Master Jie Jiu fled to Hangzhou, where he was rescued and hidden by Master Gou Wu."

Chen Yan scoffed and said, "Does Zhang Qishan really not know? He's being monitored by those above, and he's monitoring the Nine Gates. How come that Fifth Master ran away back then, and now Ninth Master Xie has run away too?"

"Zhang Qishan, this 'Great Buddha Zhang' of the Nine Gates, has men and soldiers under his command, and was once the garrison commander of Changsha. How could he be so useless?"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Zhang Qishan was doing it on purpose.

Everyone began to wonder why Zhang Qishan did this.

Chen Yan didn't care what they thought and continued, "And it was after the incident at Mount Siguniang that Dog Fifth Master started to have other ideas."

Wu Xie's expression changed next door. Other thoughts? What does that mean?

"Master Gou Wu and Master Jie Jiu are related by marriage and have saved each other's lives, so they have a very good relationship."

"Master Xie wanted to end this matter with the second generation, so he sent away his other wives and children, leaving only Xie Lianhuan as a pawn."

"Back then, after the funeral procession in Banna failed, the higher-ups had no choice but to wait until the second generation of the Nine Gates had grown up before re-employing them to investigate."

"But everyone..."

Chen Yan smiled and glanced at Zhang Rishan, whose forehead was throbbing as he listened, and said, "This great Buddha Zhang Qishan has chosen not to use Wu Sansheng, who entered the business at the age of thirteen, and has excluded Wu Sansheng from the list."

"That time, Zhang Qiling came."

"Chen Wenjing has arrived."

"The second generation of the Nine Gates—Li Sidi of the Li family, Huo Ling of the Huo family, Qi Yu of the Qi family, and Xie Lianhuan of the Xie family—are all in the group, but conspicuously, Wu Sansheng, the first of the second generation to become famous, is not among them."

Why?

"Because Zhang Qishan already knew that Wu Laogou's initial self-preservation had turned into greed."

"The Wu family desires immortality!"

Zhang Qiling, Wang Yueban, and Xie Yuchen all looked at Wu Xie. Wu Xie, trembling, suddenly stood up and rushed out of the room, bursting into Chen Yan's private room: "Chen Yan! Explain yourself! What do you mean by that?!"

Chen Yan didn't even turn his head, acting as if Wu Xie didn't exist, and said, "If you ask who is the most wronged, it's definitely Huo Ling."

"Wu Sansheng secretly sent Huo Ling and Chen Wenjing to Changbai Mountain. Chen Wenjing was sent by higher-ups, so naturally he wouldn't leave the archaeological team. Therefore, he brought Huo Ling back with him."

"If Wu Sansheng hadn't secretly boarded the ship, Qi Yu, Li Sidi, Huo Ling, and Xie Lianhuan would all have been secretly sent away by Zhang Qishan's men."

"In this way, all the second-generation members of the Nine Gates would die in Xisha, and the higher-ups would suspend this matter again. But unfortunately, there's an extra Wu Sansheng."

"Wu Sansheng tricked Xie Lianhuan into secretly stuffing corpse pills into the second generation of the Nine Gates. Zhang Qishan couldn't send them away, so he had to take them back. These second generation members, the backbone that Zhang Qishan wanted to leave for the Nine Gates, were completely destroyed by Wu Sansheng."

"This has resulted in the fact that among the nine families, the first generation has grown old, but only the Wu family is capable in the second generation."

"This is also why the Huo family has never dared to appoint a second generation as the head of the family."

"Because if any second-generation member is alive and has any ability, Wu Sansheng will kill them."

"But if you think Wu Sansheng did this for his own position, you're wrong."

Chen Yan suddenly turned around and jumped down. He looked at Wu Xie, who was standing there in a daze, as well as Wang Yueban, Zhang Qiling, and Xie Yuchen who had followed him in. He ignored the three of them and walked directly in front of Wu Xie.

He pulled Wu Xie to the balcony and said, "Wu Sansheng did all this for this person, our Little Third Master Wu, the future Little Buddha Wu in the hearts of the Wu family."

Turning his head to look at Wu Xie, Chen Yan said calmly, "Wu Xie, you once asked me what I knew. Now I'll tell you, I know everything that the first generation of the Nine Gates experienced and did."

"Of course, Wu Xie himself was unaware of this."

"The reason I returned to the Nine Gates is because my grandfather was almost killed by Wu Sansheng in Changbai Mountain."

"If I hadn't come back, my grandfather would have died in Changbai Mountain, and Master Huo would have died in Zhang Family Ancient Building. Tell me, among the second generation, which family could be as powerful as the Wu brothers?"

"Among the three generations, who has such strong support as Wu Xie?"

"No!"

Chen Yan's two words struck Wu Xie's mind like a resounding bell.

Wu Xie looked completely bewildered. Chen Yan pressed Wu Xie down into a chair, turned over and sat up straight, and continued, "In order to achieve immortality, the Wu family has been telling the public since childhood that Wu Xie is in poor health."

"When I first met Wu Xie, I could smell the scent of Mangren grass."

Chen Yan looked down in one direction: "As someone from the Northern School, you should be familiar with Mangren Grass, right?"

On the left side of the first floor, a group of people frowned. One of the men looked up at Chen Yan and said, "That stuff called Mangren grass is bad for one's karma. The Southern School really doesn't care about such things, actually using this stuff on their own descendants."

"Yes, Mangren is immoral, but Wu Sansheng needs Wu Xie to have the ability to get unlucky in tombs, because that way, Zhang Qiling will save him, Wang Yueban will save him, and even Xie Yuchen, his childhood friend whom he hasn't seen for more than ten years, will save him for the greater good."

"The reason why Wu Sansheng dared not tell Wu Xie directly was not because of the Wang family, but because if Wu Xie knew so much at once, he would collapse. A mentally broken Wu Xie would be the biggest failure for them and the Wu family, who have devoted two generations of energy to him."

Wu Xie, standing behind him, was on the verge of collapse. Wang Yueban immediately stepped forward and pressed down on Wu Xie's shoulder, asking worriedly, "Tianzhen, it's alright, it's alright. It's just that damn Mangren Grass, right? I've always considered you a brother!"

"Wu Xie, we've been childhood friends."

"Wu Xie".

Zhang Qiling suddenly spoke and stepped forward. Wu Xie looked up at Zhang Qiling blankly. Zhang Qiling saw the confusion and helplessness in Wu Xie's eyes, as well as the pain of being betrayed by a loved one.
