The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Fang Yun said with a smile, and a steel needle appeared out of thin air in his hand: "I picked this up from the ground earlier. If you can withstand it, I will spare your life."

Then, Fang Yun slowly aimed the steel needle at the Grand Elder. Although he only held it in his hand, a strong killing intent emanated from the steel needle.

"Be careful, Your Excellency."

Lu Tianci and the others were already praying silently. Their expressions were no longer as relaxed as before; instead, they watched the battle with extreme tension.

At this moment, Fang Yun made his move. A flash of cold light shot towards the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder swayed as he tried to dodge, but suddenly realized that Fang Yun had not shot at him from any other angle and had not avoided the roulette wheel.

"Good lad, don't you know that my roulette wheel is made of exotic gold from outer space? No matter how fiercely your steel needle comes at you, it won't be able to pierce through it."

The High Priest wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate, but the steel needle was like a drawn sword, tearing through the air and leaving a fist-sized hole after passing through the wheel.

"not good!"

The high priest had just realized what was happening, but it was too late. The steel needle shot out from his chest, leaving a fist-sized hole in his chest.

"This...how is this possible? How did he hit me?"

The high priest coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a thud. When he tried to stand up, he found that his whole body was weak and he could not support himself.

For the next few days, Lu Tianci's mouth remained agape, unable to close it.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

"The Grand Elder has been defeated just like that?"

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed what they were seeing. The High Priest had not only been defeated, but defeated so decisively and thoroughly, as if he had offered virtually no resistance from beginning to end.

"Even the Grand Elder has been defeated. How can our Lu family possibly avenge this?"

Lu Tianci took a few steps back, looking somewhat dazed.

If he were to seek revenge on Fang Yun again, it would be tantamount to courting death. However, he had no choice but to take revenge. This feeling of frustration and helplessness filled his chest, almost making it hard for him to breathe.

The other members of the Lu family secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they hadn't gone to cause trouble for Fang Yun when they were stopped earlier; otherwise, they would probably be cold corpses on the ground by now.

"How is it, are you convinced?"

Fang Yun clapped his hands and said calmly.

A hush fell over the crowd; no one dared to speak.

"I told you long ago, don't mess with me. Coming to me for revenge will only cause more and more of your men to die. Why bother? If you ask me, wouldn't it be more comfortable to stay at home and sleep soundly?"

· ·········Request flowers· ···

Upon hearing this, the high priest was angry, but his mouth was blocked by blood in his chest. He stammered, which only worsened the damage to his heart meridian, and he collapsed to the ground.

"This is a case of reaping what you sow. Why didn't you just stay in the Lu family and be their retainer? Why did you have to come here and cause trouble? Now you can't use your true power anymore. Let's see who will care about you then?"

Lu Tianci, unwilling to be humiliated, shouted angrily, "You surnamed Fang, don't be so smug! The strength of our Lu family is beyond your imagination. If you really push me too far, we will even activate the Lu family's grand formation to suppress and kill you!"

........ ......... 0

"Really? That sounds impressive, but I'm afraid... you won't make it back alive."

Fang Yun stepped forward, seemingly about to make a move, which terrified Lu Tianci so much that he jumped off the wall and ran away as fast as he could.

Seeing this, the others also fled without hesitation, leaving only the old man, the Grand Master, sprawled on the ground, panting.

"A bunch of cowards. It would be a disgrace for me to fight you."

At this moment, Yang Ke and the others heard the noise and finally ran out. When they saw the old man lying in a pool of blood on the ground, a look of doubt appeared in Yang Ke's eyes.

"Young Master Fang, who is this gentleman?"

“Someone who wants to kill me, send someone to take him to the dungeon floor and lock him up first. I still have questions for him to ask later.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ke simply said "Oh," and then ordered people to carry the old man. However, it was clear that they all looked reluctant, as if they were doing something dishonorable.

Chapter 598 The Great Priest

"I forgot to tell you, this old man's strength is above Yuan Lie's, so you should be careful."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Yang Ke and his men were all taken aback. The servant who was about to pull up the Grand Elder almost slipped and fell.

"Keep a close watch on him with the strictest measures!" Yang Ke hurriedly gave the order.

Now that we've dealt with the Lu family, and even their Grand Elder has been killed here, they'd better think twice before coming back for revenge.

Regardless of the circumstances, the other party would definitely not be able to return anytime soon. Since that was the case, Fang Yun sent a message to Qin Hongmu first, and then "890" went to Yang Ke's garden for a meal.

During the meal, Yang Ke was extremely enthusiastic, constantly toasting Fang Yun, and didn't even have time to eat much of his own food.

Fang Yun then stopped being polite and said directly, "Boss Yang, I actually wanted to ask you for some information because I know you are one of the most knowledgeable people about antiques in Guangling City."

"To be honest, I'm interested in exploring underground tombs, but I don't know where these tombs are located. If you can help me find some newly unearthed artifacts, I might be able to follow the clues back to them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ke was immediately perplexed.

Although he had some experience in tomb raiding, it was still difficult to predict.

To find out where the tombs are underground, the first way is to consult ancient books. Once a general area is found, an archaeological team can be dispatched to search carefully.

The second method is to set up informants, bribing people everywhere, and then waiting for someone to discover something and report it.

However, many people in Guangling City have been using these two methods for many years. Unless there are some special tricks, Yang Ke has no good way to find a new tomb.

But now Fang Yun needs this, so Yang Ke racked his brains for a while and finally clapped his hands and said, "Young Master Fang, I just happen to know that an antique appreciation meeting is going to be held at Guzhenxuan. It is said that famous appraisers from several nearby states have been invited, so the items should be of good quality."

"I was invited before, but I was so preoccupied with Yuan Lie's situation that I didn't accept. If you'd like to go, I'll have someone reschedule for you now. Maybe we'll discover something new."

Fang Yun nodded and said, "It's better than nothing, even if it's just a small opportunity. See what time it is and I'll arrange for you to go."

Yang Ke quickly sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that it was this afternoon. Fang Yun then said, "Perfect, I'll rest for a while after I finish eating and then head over there."

To show Fang Yun's sincerity, Yang Ke drove out his best car this time, a high-end Mercedes-Benz. When it drove out of the garage, you could see the shiny black gleam of the engine.

After getting in the car, Yang Ke sat with Fang Yun in the back seat. The car seat was very soft, and although they went through a few small bends, it felt like walking on flat ground.

Soon, the car drove into a lost garden area, which was clearly a place where the wealthy lived. Most of the houses were villas, and there were not many passersby.

The car then drove to a very quiet courtyard filled with flowers and plants. After getting out of the car and stepping outside, one could see numerous artificial hills and rocks, pavilions and terraces, all exquisitely decorated.

After following Yang Ke into the lobby, there were already quite a few people sitting inside. The two rows of master chairs were clearly made of precious ebony.

Upon seeing Yang Ke enter, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat smiled and said, "What, Mr. Yang, you've finally decided to come? If you hadn't come, my private appreciation event would have lost a lot of its luster."

Yang Ke quickly cupped his hands and said, "Boss Gu is joking. I just glanced around and found at least a few masters. Even if I am not qualified, it is enough."

Gu Liang stroked his short beard, tacitly agreeing with Yang Ke's words. He had put a lot of effort into preparing for today's appreciation event.

"Mr. Yang, who is this person behind you?"

At this moment, a man dressed in a crimson robe walked over and looked at Yang Ke.

Yang Ke seemed to dislike this person and didn't pay much attention to him at the moment, simply saying, "This is my friend, here to help me take a look. It's none of your business."

Upon hearing this, the man burst into laughter: "Yang Ke, I say, aren't you getting more and more regressive? If you really can't find anyone, you can come to me for help. I might even lend you a hand out of consideration for our past relationship."

"But it's ridiculous that you bring this greenhorn here to offer your expert opinion, isn't it?"

"I advise you to watch your words!"

When Yang Ke heard that this person dared to insult Fang Yun, he was immediately startled. If he made Fang Yun unhappy here, wouldn't he be the one who suffered in the end?

Having finally managed to bring back a Bodhisattva, Fang Yun couldn't let him fly away so easily.

At that moment, Yang Ke was too lazy to waste words with these people, lest he say something that might cause him trouble.

Chapter 599 Antique Appreciation Meeting

"Young Master Fang, please have a seat."

On the other side, Yang Ke gestured to Fang Yun and then brought the tea to Fang Yun's side.

He then found another chair and sat down.

At this moment, the man in the crimson clothes said, "Boss Yang, what are you doing? The antique appreciation meeting we are holding today has very limited spots. Each person gets one seat. Are you trying to take two seats?"

Yang Ke stood up, suppressing his anger: "Fine, I won't sit then. Who cares about a seat anyway?"

After saying that, Yang Ke stood behind Fang Yun.

These people originally thought that Yang Ke would let the boy stand up, but when they saw him stand behind the boy without hesitation, they couldn't help but be very curious about the boy's identity.

However, their general idea was that Fang Yun was probably just a spoiled brat from some powerful family, and that Yang Ke was doing such a shameless thing to complete some shady deal.

Of course, they wouldn't miss this good opportunity to mock Yang Ke, and they took the opportunity to make a good point about Yang Ke.

At this moment, Fang Yun began to scrutinize these people. After all, he wanted to obtain some useful information from them. If these people were unreliable, then there was no need for him to continue participating in this appreciation event.

The first person Fang Yun noticed was the man in the crimson robe. Fang Yun remembered him; his name seemed to be Zhu Li. He used to work at the docks, but somehow ended up in the antique business.

It is said that he tasted success while salvaging a shipwreck, and the treasures found on the shipwreck directly brought him into the circle of wealthy people in Guangling.

Sitting next to Zhu was a man wearing a white t-shirt with bulging muscles. Behind him stood several bodyguards in black suits, who kept looking around.

Then there were several elderly men, who looked to be in their sixties or seventies.

Of course, the most eye-catching person was an old man sitting next to the head of the table.

The man appeared to be around sixty years old, dressed in a Taoist robe, with slightly graying hair. He was currently resting with his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to who had come.

At this moment, Gu Liang, who was sitting in the main seat, said solemnly, "Friends, although this appreciation meeting is organized privately by me, Gu, you should also know that I, Gu, am quite strict about the antique and jade industry. I hope everyone will remain as serious as possible during the appreciation."

Gu Liang's expression turned serious, and the people who had been laughing and chatting immediately stopped smiling and dared not make a sound.
