Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Led by Lao Jiu, they arrived at a bridge.

This is a suspension bridge, and the bridge surface is well preserved, although it looks a bit old, without any damage.

Wang Yueban said, "Want to go over there? Fatty, I'll go..."

Just as he stepped onto the suspension bridge, Lao Jiu said, "The cave entrance is below; hang the rope."

Wang Yueban turned around, about to ask, "Isn't this the place on the map of the mountain sweeping?"

When he turned around, Lao Jiu jumped right past him. Wang Yueban's heart skipped a beat. "Damn it! You could at least have used a rope!"

Zhang Qiling tugged at Wang Yueban: "Get down."

He then jumped down.

Before anyone else came down, Zhang Qiling said softly, "You know about the Zhang family's mechanisms."

Lao Jiu didn't answer, and before Zhang Qiling could speak again, Zhang Haike and Zhang Haixing followed him down.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiling decided not to ask any more questions.

He felt something was off from the beginning. He had a feeling that this Ninth Brother was very familiar with the Zhang family's secrets.

Once everyone had come down, Zhang Qiling tied the Black Gold Ancient Sword with a rope and hurled it towards the cave opposite.

Wang Yueban said, "Hey, it has to be this young man. No one else would have this ability."

He glanced smugly at Lao Jiu, who rolled his eyes, stepped on the rope, and dashed to the other side in a flash.

Wang Yueban's lips twitched as he watched. "Can't you just stop pretending?"

Zhang Qiling glanced helplessly at Wang Yueban, who whispered, "I just can't stand his attitude. He acts like the Qing Dynasty is still around."

"Let's go, let's go over there first."

After arriving, Lao Jiu waved his hand, and the men immediately dispersed to wad the way.

San San left without giving the Zhang family members hiding in the shadows any chance.

Zhang Qiling looked at the map, and Wang Yueban pointed to one of the patterns and asked, "Brother, what is this? A geometric diagram?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head slightly, and Lao Jiu's voice reached their ears: "Spiral staircase."

Zhang Qiling glanced up at Lao Jiu, whose fox-like eyes, hidden behind his glasses, met Zhang Qiling's gaze, unwavering and without a trace of guilt.

"A spiral staircase? Oh, right! So this cube is the room? Quick, let's go find it."

The Huo family's servants also went to find the way.

Not long after, the Chen family's servant returned: "Ninth Master, over here."

Old Nine turned and left. Wang Yueban glanced at Zhang Qiling, wanting to say something, but because there were many people around, she simply shut up.

Soon they arrived at a tomb chamber that resembled a cave, with high steps leading to a disc on the ground in the center.

Old Nine glanced at the thing hanging in mid-air, said nothing, and walked down.

The others followed behind, carefully descending the steps.

Perhaps because it's an enclosed space, and also inside a mountain, it's very cold and damp.

And perhaps the reason for the steps is that there are several small ditches around below, and there is some water in the ditches.

A thin layer of moss had appeared on the steps.

It was wet and slippery.

So everyone walked very carefully.

They all came down safely and looked around at their surroundings.

Old Nine looked up at what was above him, and after a long while, he said, "Someone come here."

Two of the Chen family's employees immediately stepped forward, took the jars off their backs, and opened the lids.

Wang Yueban curiously leaned over to take a look.

As soon as they got closer, they smelled a strong stench of blood and immediately took a step back, saying, "Holy crap, what are you guys doing carrying so much blood?"

Old Nine took a few steps back and looked at the waiter: "Plop."

Zhang Qiling's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Lao Jiu, who remained expressionless and didn't even glance at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling frowned slightly. He... already knew that the first step to entering the Zhang Family Ancient Building required a strong alkali, and he also knew that this mechanism required blood to activate.

These things were prepared long ago; they definitely didn't find out after they came in.

This place was only opened up this morning; Chen Yan had a sheep slaughtered yesterday afternoon.

Zhang Qiling's eyes darkened. What exactly was going on between Chen Yan and this Ninth Brother?

Even Zhang Haike glanced at Lao Jiu subtly, and Zhang Haixing's gaze was even more strange.

Wang Yueban watched in surprise as the waiter poured the blood onto the round plate in the middle of the floor, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Without needing Lao Jiu's reply, the man finished pouring out the blood and then stepped back.

Soon, the disc made a clicking sound and slowly rose in everyone's eyes, revealing the space below.

Old Nine then said, "The things hanging overhead are animal hides; these animals have all been drained of their blood."

"Therefore, this disc needs to be opened with blood."

Wang Yueban looked at Lao Jiu and asked, "What if we use water, then it won't work?"

Old Nine glanced at Wang Yueban, then waved his hand dismissively, "Get down."

The Chen family's servants were the first to carry the strong alkali down. When Zhang Qiling and his group followed, they saw the network of passageways below.

Meanwhile, the Chen family's servants were carrying strong alkali and spraying it around the area.

One of Huo's employees muttered, "At this rate, they must be running out of strong alkali, right?"

Old Nine ignored them, and the Huo family's servants didn't say anything more, since the family head had told them to listen to him before they came down.

The key issue is that if you don't listen, even if you die, the head of the family won't save you.

They soon discovered a wall covered with mud.

After glancing at the wall, Lao Jiu turned his head and said, "Clean it up."

The workers from the Chen and Huo families worked together to clean up the mess, and soon they had cleaned the surface thoroughly.

Wang Yueban whispered, "Brother, you know what, when this guy gets serious, he really is a lot faster."

Along the way, Wang Yueban bickered with Lao Jiu, partly because he was bored, and partly because he realized that Lao Jiu didn't care whether they could get in or not.

They're just here to have fun.

Wang Yueban definitely wants Zhang Qiling to go in. What if he can regain his memories once he's inside?

So Wang Yueban deliberately provoked Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu not only didn't take the pressure at all, but also left him speechless.

Looking at the cleared wall, Wang Yueban snapped his fingers and said, "Huo San, take a picture and send it up."

The guy named Huo San immediately stepped forward to take a picture, and then asked to send one of the Huo family's employees to deliver it.

However, they were stopped by the Chen family's servants.

Huo San looked at them: "Ninth Master, what does this mean?"

Old Nine said nonchalantly, "Send my men to deliver it; your men might not make it up there alive."

One sentence dispelled Huo San's resentment, and the Chen family's employees left in groups of three.
