The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Han Tianyang and the others could only sense that something extraordinary was awakening within Fang Yun. If their previous imposing presence was like that of hunting dogs, then the aura emanating from Fang Yun was that of a hungry wolf. This sound of breaking through the formation immediately terrified many guards, leaving them pale and stunned, completely at a loss.

"I hope you'll learn a lesson this time: some things are better understood before you do them. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe!"

Before Fang Yun could finish speaking, the Han family guards who had been brandishing their swords and shouting suddenly found themselves out of control and floated into the air.

Although Han Tianyang used all his internal energy to desperately hold on, he could still feel a huge suction force in the sky, as if a black hole was about to suck his soul away.

"You think your illusion array is very powerful? Well then, I'll borrow your array and let you experience the power of this illusion array."

Han Tianyang heard Fang Yun's loud explosion. He barely managed to look up at the array's core and saw that all the mist had shrunk into a ball. Clearly, Fang Yun had gathered all this power together to create such a terrifying suction force.

At the same time, the entire formation was trembling violently, and the materials used as the foundation of the formation were making cracking sounds. It was clear that if pressure was applied further, they would all be reduced to fragments.

"This, how is this possible!"

This Heavenly Fog Formation, though ancient, is far beyond the capabilities of ordinary human strength to break. Conversely, Fang Yun's strength has far surpassed the formation's limits, reaching a terrifying level that is definitely not something someone of Han Tianyang's caliber can handle.

Han Tianyang was going crazy. He didn't know how the insider had managed to send out the message. He finally understood why Fang Yun had said those words to him. It was such a mistake!

"Young Master Fang, it's the Han family's fault today. Let's talk this over. We just beg you to stop..."

Han Tianyang had only spoken halfway when suddenly the Han family guards who had been floating in mid-air crashed to the ground one by one with a violent thud, each spitting out blood.

As for Han Tianyang, he was hit by a stray rock, and the muscles on his right shoulder were shattered.

Fang Yun stared blankly at the ants before him. He had no interest in stopping and just wanted to finish the job and leave as soon as possible.

Han Tianyang wanted to speak, but Fang Yun didn't give him the chance. Just then, another huge boulder crashed down, and Han Tianyang was about to lose his life.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly split the great formation in two, and all the formation bases shattered. An old man in purple robes, his face filled with heartache, personally destroyed the formation. The buoyancy and flowing rocks within the formation vanished, and everyone narrowly escaped death.

The old man angrily said, "My friend, do you intend to wipe us out? My Han family is not so easily provoked."

"What? You forgot what you were planning to do so quickly? So you think I'm just meant to be chased and killed by you?" Fang Yun looked at the old man with a mocking expression, then pressed down with his hand, and the air outside the formation actually condensed into a huge palm, even more powerful than the formation itself.

The old man's face was filled with horror. He quickly said, "My friend, we were in the wrong this time. Please tell us your request as soon as possible, and we will definitely meet it."

· ·········Request flowers· ···

“Alright, then I’ll make a request.” Fang Yun’s words immediately delighted the old man.

"The requirement is... that you all die."

Under the old man's terrified gaze, the enormous hand finally pressed down, slapping him and turning him into a lump of minced meat.

Fang Yun felt absolutely no sympathy for the old man. If it had been some other ordinary person instead of him, there would have been only two possible outcomes.

The first option is to pay money to avoid disaster, hand over the items and leave. The second option is to be unwilling to part with the items and then lose your life there.

........ ......... ...

Of course, in Fang Yun's eyes, both of them were extremely bad.

Therefore, Fang Yun will never tolerate such people.

After the old man from the Han family died, Fang Yun discovered a crystal-like object that was flashing at the spot where he died. Curious, he went closer to take a look and found that it was a crystal with a slightly pale purple hue.

The fact that the crystal remained unaffected under his pressure was enough to show that it was no ordinary object; it might be a crystallization from a place where energy converged.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yun put the crystal away, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It seems the Han family has brought him a great gift. He was wondering where to find the tomb, but he didn't expect to get a clue so quickly.

If I find out the origin of this crystal first, then by following the clues, I might be able to discover this treasure land.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun didn't hesitate much and walked out of the small factory courtyard.

Chapter 603 The Magical Wooden Fish

Fang Yun didn't linger on this matter for long. The Han family members vanished as if they had never been there. Fang Yun wandered around for a bit and then returned to the main hall.

The tea break is over, and now it seems the main event is about to begin.

Unexpectedly, a master surnamed Wang brought by Zhu Li completely outshone the Taoist priest invited by Gu Liang, making the Taoist priest so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Amidst the somewhat unfriendly gazes of the crowd, Master Wang Xianchun slowly walked from beside Zhu Li to the center of the hall. When he saw the wooden fish in the glass box, he closed his eyes slightly and muttered "eight, nine, three" as if reciting some kind of incantation.

"Hmph, just putting on airs. If nothing comes out later, let's see how you'll have the face to continue standing here." Many people were dissatisfied with Zhu Li's arrogance and secretly looked down on him.

At that moment, everyone's expression changed unconsciously. The master named Wang Xianchun's face glowed red, and his two wide sleeves swelled up as if filled with true energy.

"What... what's going on?" The bosses present were all baffled by the scene and found it all rather mysterious.

"This is a master who has mastered the fasting stage!" the Taoist priest who had been invited by Gu Liang exclaimed suddenly, his expression changing drastically.

"drink!"

At this moment, Mr. Wang shouted sharply and stomped his foot on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

Then, a beam of white light shot out from his fingertip and directly into the wooden fish. The wooden fish, which had been trembling, suddenly stopped trembling as if it had been frozen in place, and instead moved up and down with Wang Xianchun's fingers.

As everyone was wondering, strange symbols and characters suddenly appeared on the wooden fish, as if they were ancient totems. Then, a spark rose from these totems, making everyone's heart beat faster and their hearts beat in rhythm with the wooden fish.

When the wooden fish stopped striking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"What...what's going on?"

Everyone in the hall was captivated, their eyes glued to the wooden fish, unwilling to look away.

"This is a top-grade artifact, it must be!"

One of the business owners, who ran a silk business, couldn't help but exclaim.

As for business owners like Yang Ke, who mainly deal in antiques and porcelain, they were staring intently at the item, their minds racing as they tried to estimate its value, but they simply couldn't figure it out.

Gu Liang, who was sitting in the main seat, was still angry about what had happened before, but now he didn't care about anything else. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhu Li sneered from the side, "Gentlemen, do you still think I was wrong about what I said before? What do you think? The people I invited are not bad, are they?"

Hearing Zhu Li's sarcastic remarks, everyone present could only laugh awkwardly. The person who could activate this artifact must be a master, and if they continued with their previous attitude, they would probably lose the opportunity to communicate with this master.

In comparison, the other people who came to appreciate it were simply not in the same league; they were far too inferior and not worth mentioning.

At this moment, the Taoist priest, no longer daring to be presumptuous, stood up and bowed to Wang Xianchun, saying, "I was rude before; please forgive me, sir..."

Wang Xianchun simply hummed in response and returned to his seat to rest with his eyes closed.

"Judging from your words, it seems you have some knowledge of feng shui and Taoist practices. If you had met me decades ago, I could have given you some pointers and you might have benefited from it, but you are too old now and there is no chance for you."

"Yes, yes, the master is right," the Taoist priest said with a forced smile, his body hunched over.

This Taoist priest used to be a well-known figure in Guangling. Over the years, he had helped many people with their feng shui and was highly respected. But today, he has indeed come to this end. Today, he has lost decades of reputation in one fell swoop.

After Wang Xianchun activated the wooden fish with his magic, everyone present saw its wondrous properties. It would be foolish not to make a move, so they all offered high prices.

Gu Liang had said before that if someone was destined to own it, he was willing to part with it, and naturally, whoever offered the highest price would get it.

Then, these people offered higher and higher prices, with the upper limit approaching 1.3 million. However, considering that it is a piece that may be a valuable artifact, most people felt that it was still worth it. Even if it could not be sold, keeping it at home as a collectible would be a very honorable thing.

As for Yang Ke, he was also very envious, but his financial resources were slightly inferior to some of them, which made him have to consider whether he should invest heavily.

"Wait! Everyone, please be quiet."

This time, Zhu Li suddenly waved his hand, interrupting everyone's bidding.

But then he looked at Fang Yun, who was sitting to the side, pointed at him and said a bunch of things, his face very arrogant.

Chapter 604 Naming Names

"Young friend Fang, I heard from Boss Yang that you are a distinguished guest he invited to take a look at this wooden fish. Why are you not saying a word now? Do you look down on this wooden fish?"

If this question had been asked earlier, people might have expected Fang Yun to offer something different. But now it's obvious that this is just a tool. Asking Fang Yun for his opinion now would be nothing short of disgusting.

Besides, Fang Yun is just a young lad who probably doesn't even know what magic is, so how could he possibly see through this wooden fish?

However, everyone was well aware of the reason behind it: it was a conflict between Zhu Li and Yang Ke. Anyway, it was none of their business, and they were just happy to watch the show.

"Zhu Li, I advise you not to go too far. I don't want to hold this against you today. But if you keep provoking me, be careful that Young Master Fang won't let you have a good laugh."

Although Yang Ke thought this to himself, he was also in a state of confusion. Wang Xianchun's move just now had indeed made him realize something, which made him somewhat shaken in his confidence in Fang Yun. He was afraid that if Fang Yun made a mistake, he would not look good.

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Zhu Li waved his hand dismissively and said, "What does it matter? As the saying goes, ambition knows no age. You people are too superficial. You can't just look at someone's appearance and jump to conclusions. Maybe he has some profound insights that you don't know. Don't you agree, Brother Fang?"

Zhu Li looked at Fang Yun with a half-smile. Fang Yun said, "Do you really want me to say something? I'm afraid if I really say it, you'll be very unhappy."

"Haha, Brother Fang, don't worry, just say what you want to say. I, Zhu Li, am not the kind of person who holds grudges."

"I'm not a talkative person, and I only like to get to the point. The material of this wooden fish itself is not particularly special. What really makes it different is that it contains a trace of the spiritual power of our ancestors. It is this spiritual power that made the wooden fish behave as it did before. So, when Master Wang seemed to be driving this wooden fish, he was actually just resonating with the spiritual power inside."

"Huh?" Wang Xianchun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. "Who is this kid?"

Zhu Li, who was standing to the side, also put away his previous joking expression, and looked at Fang Yun with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The others who were waiting to see what would happen next also gasped in surprise, stopped whispering, and wanted to hear Fang Yun continue.

"Mr. Fang, from what you just said, this wooden fish is actually just an ordinary object, and what truly functions is a wisp of remnant soul within it?"

Some of the more astute business owners realized what was happening and immediately asked...

"That's right, this thing is just a sham. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't understand the resonance method, and you wouldn't be able to reproduce the previous scene. Even if you could, it wouldn't be of any use. It's just an ordinary wooden fish."

As soon as Fang Yun said this, someone accidentally dropped their teacup on the ground; the news was too shocking.

The Taoist priest muttered to himself, "No wonder I had no results after so many attempts. It turns out the object of my spell was wrong; I was too focused on the wooden fish itself."

Then, the Taoist priest shouted again and pointed his finger at the wooden fish. Sure enough, the same kind of resonant buzzing sound appeared.

Seeing this, everyone realized what was happening and glared angrily at Zhu Li: "Boss Zhu, what do you mean by this? Did you come here on purpose to deceive us?"
