The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"As expected, your reputation is well-deserved. Master Fang is highly skilled, and I admire you greatly!"

"Such skill is something I've never seen before, Third Sister."

Huo Sanniang reacted the fastest, immediately showering Fang Yun with compliments.

"The tomb raider... I, Qi Tiezui, am truly impressed today... He is indeed far superior to other professions."

Qi Tiezui still had a look of shock on his face, as if he had not yet recovered from what had just happened.

Now he understands why the tomb raiding industry is only divided into four factions and two other branches.

The four factions are truly capable!

Zhang Qishan, who remained silent, looked at Fang Yun with increasing fervor.

He had clearly seen the skill Fang Yun had used earlier.

The technique itself isn't the problem; the problem lies with the person!

He began practicing leg and foot skills at a young age, and it has been more than 20 years now.

Therefore, he knew very well where the physical peak of an ordinary person was.

He had killed quite a few zongzi (rice dumplings), but none of them could be as serene and composed as Fang Yun.

The difference lies in physical condition.

He had seen the scene of Fang Yun crushing rice dumplings like that before when he was a child!

He had seen his grandfather kill zongzi so easily when his elders took him to the fields to learn about zongzi. He had also seen his grandfather use ordinary zongzi as stakes to kill zongzi.

To possess this kind of strength that surpasses the peak of ordinary people...

There are only two solutions.

The first method is to cultivate techniques, condense an inner blood core, and embark on the path of cultivation.

The second type is... possessing divine bloodline!

Fang Yun looked several years younger than him, at most 25 years old, how could he possibly have cultivated a Blood Core?

Although bloodline can keep one's appearance young, Fang Yun clearly hasn't reached the point where his appearance is fixed yet.

Therefore, Fang Yun most likely possesses a divine bloodline, which, with its blessing, grants him a physique and strength surpassing that of ordinary people at their peak.

Thinking about this, Zhang Qishan's previous idea became even more resolute.

Fang Yun must also be a member of the Zhang family, and one with an extremely strong Qilin bloodline, otherwise he would never have such strength.

After the Ghost Cart incident is resolved, we must find Fang Yun to sound him out!

At this moment, Fang Yun smiled and waved his hand.

"It's been so long since I've used my skills, my bones are practically rusted. Please excuse my poor skills!"

Cool!

There were only six people in the carriage at this time: besides him and Hua, there were Zhang Qishan, Qi Tiezui, Huo Sanniang, and Qi Guniang.

He could clearly see the expressions on the faces of all four people.

That's exactly the kind of reaction we're looking for!

Ultimately, he was still just a young man in his early twenties, and he still had some vanity in his heart.

You have to show off when it's time to do so.

After all, returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night!

It's a bit of a pity that these people are all leaders of the Nine Gates, and they rely on their status. Their boasting is not as comforting as that of the Unloading Ridge Warriors and warlord soldiers back then.

"Ho...ho..."

Suddenly, a low growl rang out.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw the zongzi, with its spine broken, arms removed, and lying on the ground like a rotten mud, facing them and roaring weakly.

"No way, this rice dumpling is still alive?"

Qi Tiezui paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.

This rice dumpling is in such a state, yet it's still alive. It's incredibly resilient.

At this moment, Hua laughed and said, "Fang Yun hasn't even exerted his full strength yet."

"What he used earlier was our Mountain Moving Technique, Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper!"

"Now the spine of this rice dumpling is completely broken, only the head can move."

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly, Fang Yun lowered his head and kicked the top of the rice dumpling.

"It seems like there's something in this rice dumpling's throat. You can try digging it open to take a look."

He had noticed earlier that the zongzi had a bulge around its throat, but he had almost forgotten about it.

It seems there's something hidden in the throat of this zongzi, something related to the Hong family of the Nine Gates.

However, he didn't care much about any of these things; they were irrelevant to him for the time being.

He has already shown his strength today, so when the Nine Gates suffer a setback in the mine, they will naturally think of him.

Moreover, Huo San Niang also knows about this matter, and it's impossible for her to let go of a tomb that might contain a great treasure so easily. She will definitely come after him and Hua in the future.

As expected, Fang Yun's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The objects found in the mouth of the corpse were most likely funerary objects.

Seeing this, Fang Yun took Hua's hand and said to everyone:

"Gentlemen, now that we have explored the Ghost Chariot, I shall take my leave."

Next comes the wrap-up; there's nothing interesting to see when they're moving coffins and corpses.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qishan quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fang Yun and said:

"Many thanks to Brother Fang for your help today. I will definitely pay you a visit tomorrow."

"If there are any gold or jade artifacts left in this ghost carriage, we will also leave a gift for Brother Fang as a token of our gratitude."

Upon hearing Zhang Qishan's words, Huo Sanniang immediately frowned.

She saw the scene inside the main coffin; apart from the decaying robes and brocade, it was practically empty.

If the main coffin was like this, then the accompanying coffins we saw earlier must have been emptied long ago as well.

Zhang Qishan's words were clearly an attempt to set a time; could it be that he wanted to snatch the person away from the Huo family?

So, Huo Sanniang put on a smiling face and said to Fang Yun:

"Master Fang, this ghost carriage is related to Changsha and involves a great deal of issues. Third Sister will be unable to accompany you any further."

"Let my little Qi lead the way for you. If you need anything, just let her take care of it."

After saying that, Huo San Niang didn't wait for Fang Yun to refuse, and turned around to give Seventh Sister a look.

This ghost carriage likely came from a large tomb, and that tomb couldn't be missed. She had to stay and keep a close eye on it; perhaps she could even get a share of the spoils later.

But we still need to win over the tomb raiders and mountain movers; we can't let other families invite them.

Her niece, Cong (Li Liaohao), is clever and quick-witted; she certainly won't make any mistakes when she gets things done.

Seeing the change in Huo Sanniang's eyes, Seventh Sister understood Huo Sanniang's meaning and looked at Fang Yun and Hua Xiao.

“Master Fang, Miss Hua, I know Changsha well and can show you the way.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun smiled helplessly, unable to refuse.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Seventh Miss."

He wasn't very familiar with the Seventh Sister, so he would feel a little awkward playing with her.

However... this seventh young lady is so pleasing to the eye that it can make up for some of the discomfort.

After watching the three leave, Zhang Qishan and Huo Sanniang exchanged a nod, and then turned their attention to the coffin and the rice dumplings.

Only Qi Tiezui sighed, shook his head, and was filled with emotion.

"Third Sister, Third Sister... We've come this far together through thick and thin, why bother with such calculations..."

"And Fifth Master... my divination was right after all; marriage is something you can't force."

Chapter 168 The Storyteller Hua!

Following the Seventh Sister, Fang Yun and Hua soon arrived on the street.

It was shortly after dawn, and the streets were bustling with people, filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares—a truly lively scene.

"Big cities are really different, they're so lively!"

Looking at the upscale buildings and bustling crowds in the city, Hua let out an excited exclamation.

She had only been away from the Mountain Moving Sect for two years, and during those two years she had been following her senior brother in search of the Muchen Pearl, which could be described as wandering around.

Although I visited Changsha last year, I only passed through and didn't really get a good look at the city.

Today marks her first time exploring such a bustling city.
