Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Zhang Qiling shook his head, not knowing.

Suddenly, Wang Yueban, who was behind him, said, "So, what's the background of this Old Ninth? He can't be a tomb raider or a mountain mover, can he?"

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Chen Yan, what are you wearing around your neck?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie also remembered that Chen Yan did indeed wear a rope around his neck.

"I saw it too, a piece of rope, but the thing was hidden under the collar, so I couldn't see what it was."

Pan Zi asked疑惑地问道, "What could be related to one's status if one was wearing something?"

"Neither the Southern School nor the Chen family has ever heard of any symbolic objects. If we had to say, it would be Fourth Master's nine-clawed hook."

Wu Xie suddenly glanced at Wang Yueban in the rearview mirror: "Fatty, where's your tomb raiding talisman?"

Wang Yue blushed slightly: "How naive! That's all in the past... Wait!"

He stared at Wu Xie in disbelief: "You mean...?"

Wu Xie shook his head: "I don't know, but if that Ninth Master is one of the Mountain Movers, then it shouldn't be a big deal if the young master of the Chen family has a Tomb Raider Talisman, right?"

"Grass."

Wang Yueban glanced at Zhang Qiling and said, "Brother, the four major sects of the Northern School have besieged Changbai Mountain."

Zhang Qiling: ..........

Zhang Qiling is the Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raiders, Meng Hu is the Ridge-Unloading Warrior, Chen Yan is from the Tomb Raiders faction, and Lao Jiu is the Mountain-Moving Taoist. Wouldn't that be the four major factions of the Northern School besieging Changbai Mountain?

Even Wu Xie, who was driving, was amused by these words. However, whether Chen Yan and Lao Jiu are actually the other two factions of the Northern School remains to be verified.

In the car in front, Lao Jiu looked at the passenger seat and said, "Brother Yan, this tomb is unusual."

"There are rumors that Wang Zanghai hid something inside."

Chen Yan lazily propped his chin up and looked out the window at the scenery, saying, "It doesn't matter. After we come out, we'll keep an eye on things for a while. If the Nine Gates don't go back in, we'll have the Fierce Tigers come and take everything back."

"I don't think it's too little."

"clear."

Old Nine smiled and patted the arm of the driver, Fierce Tiger: "When the time comes, we'll be counting on you."

The tiger chuckled: "No problem."

The thing the Unloading Ridge faction fears least is being alone.

The tomb raiders of the Unloading Ridge Sect relied on external forces for their tomb raiding. At their peak, they could gather tens of thousands of people, and as long as they could find a suitable location, they would dare to excavate even the largest tombs.

With their large numbers and influence, and operating somewhere between banditry and tomb raiding, they have had leaders throughout history who have served as bandit chiefs.

The leader of the Unloading Ridge bandits has the power of life and death, and the distribution of spoils and the gathering of righteousness are all decided by the bandit leader.

The bandits usually lived separately, but when they found a tomb, they would band together to raid it. When they couldn't find a tomb, they would become outlaws, gathering in the mountains to rob and steal valuables.

Coincidentally, the tiger is the leader of this generation.

He only looks silly because he injured his head three years ago while saving Chen Yan.

But he certainly didn't lose his skills.

The Unloading Ridge faction also possesses a unique secret weapon—the Centipede Mountain-Hanging Ladder, also known as the Unloading Ridge Armor.

The centipede-shaped mountain ladder can be assembled and disassembled, and can be modified into various shapes. It can be used to build ladders over mountains and bridges over rivers, and can also counter various ancient tomb traps.

The two cars drove one after the other towards Changbai Mountain. In the afternoon, they stopped at a village at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

After Chen Yan got out of the car, he glanced at Lao Jiu, who nodded and walked quickly toward the village.

The tiger stood beside Chen Yan like a bodyguard.

The two drivers who were in the same car as Chen Yan said to him, "Brother Yan, we'll be going now."

"Um."

Chen Yan waved them away, and the two drove off.

Wu Xie and the others walked over and said, "Aren't we going in?"

The tiger said in a simple-minded way, "Wait, Lao Jiu went to contact someone, so we definitely can't go up the mountain now. We'll leave tomorrow."

None of them had any objections.

However, something else happened that Pan Zi did not expect.

Wu Xie looked at Chen Yan. They had already rented a courtyard and were having a meal.

While they were eating, Wu Xie suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Yan if they shouldn't hire a guide.

Chen Yan said no.

"Brother Yan, well, this is our first time here, how about we treat someone? I'm willing to pay."

Wu Xie thought that a guide shouldn't be too expensive, right?

Pan Zi's heart skipped a beat. If they didn't hire a guide, how would Shunzi, whom Third Master had arranged, go up the mountain with them?

Chen Yan glanced at Pan Zi with a half-smile and said, "I said, we don't need it. Whether you invite them or not is your business."

Upon seeing Chen Yan's expression, Wu Xie subconsciously turned to look at Pan Zi. Pan Zi's heart tightened, and he quickly composed himself.

Although he couldn't see anything wrong, Wu Xie still turned around and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Yan, no need to invite him."

Chen Yan didn't say anything, glanced at Pan Zi, quickly finished his meal, and then got up to rest in the next room.

Wu Xie just wanted to ask Chen Yan if Lao Jiu, even a member of the Tomb Raiders and Mountain Moving Sect, didn't have a chance.

the next day.

They set off early in the morning, each carrying a backpack and supplies.

Chen Yan only glanced at the supplies that Chen Pi had sent with his men and then ignored them, instead taking the equipment himself.

As the group headed towards the snow-capped mountain, Panzi was still thinking to himself, "Shunzi can't come. It seems I'll have to find a chance to tell the Third Master the message that he asked Shunzi to deliver to the Young Third Master."

Anyway, he's been exposed, but he'll definitely have to find a way to get rid of those three people.

Coincidentally, Chen Yan thought the same thing.

After the seven of them climbed the snow-capped mountain, Shunzi stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the position on the mountain, his eyes flickering, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

The road on the snow-capped mountain was difficult to travel, but only Wu Xie, Wang Yueban, and Pan Zi had difficulty.

Zhang Qiling, Chen Yan, Lao Jiu, and Meng Hu all walked very steadily.

As Wu Xie used his ice axe to chip away at the ground to create a climbing position, he would glance at Chen Yan and the others every now and then.

I sighed when I saw them walking so easily.

Is this their strength? No wonder they became the young master of the family as soon as they returned.

As Wang Yueban crawled along, he asked, "Brother Yan, we didn't hire a guide, so are we still able to find the location of the tomb?"

Wu Xie and Pan Zi also looked at Chen Yan, while Zhang Qiling waited to see if Chen Yan was actually a member of the tomb raiding faction.

After all, in this situation, besides himself, only the tomb raiders could find the location of the tomb based on the feng shui dragon veins on their first visit without a guide.

As Chen Yan walked, he casually glanced at the distant snow-lined mountains.

He was already mentally calculating the depth and location of the underground palace based on the terrain.
