General of the Heavens

"Brother Ning...you really are a master of disguise!"

Partridge Whistle shook his head helplessly and said to Ning Chen. As for Chen Yulou, he was a little sullen and didn't say anything.

"Not at all, not at all, those are just low-class methods. Manager Chen is being lenient with me!" Ning Chen said modestly, making Chen Yulou even more ashamed.

"Damn it, I don't know what bad luck I had to run into this weirdo. Even my natural night vision is no advantage at all!"

The final result of the contest between the two was naturally a draw, with each giving the other face.

However, Chen Yulou and Ning Chen were perfectly aware of the reasons behind it, and they also knew clearly who was stronger and who was weaker.

During their formal duel, Chen Yulou always made the first move, with Ning Chen only responding afterward.

The time difference was almost negligible, but I understand the difficulty. If the roles were reversed and Ning Chen attacked Chen Yulou first, he would not be able to guarantee that he would hit the stone.

In other words, the so-called draw clearly means that Ning Chen was letting him win! Just think of Chen Yulou, the dignified leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect, who had previously boasted that he would let Ning Chen win three stones… Now, thinking about it, he's blushing with embarrassment!

"Hey, is the Faqiu lineage really that powerful?" Chen Yulou rubbed his eyes. He had been fully focused during the battle of wits just now, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"By the way, Brother Partridge Whistle, how come you, who travel all over the country, happen to be here, and how come you're with a master from the Faqiu lineage?"

Chen Yulou asked Partridge Whistle, "In Old Bear Ridge, wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards often appear, and people often go into the mountains and never come out."

"I know that your Mountain Moving lineage has always traveled all over the country in search of elixirs and medicines. Could it be that you have your eyes on the ancient tomb in these mountains?"

If you're here to rob tombs, that's quite a coincidence. I'm also short on cash lately and planning to find a target to raid!

Chen Yulou clearly trusted Partridge Whistle immensely, and before Partridge Whistle could even state his purpose, he made his own intentions perfectly clear.

Partridge Whistle glanced thoughtfully at Ning Chen. Ning Chen had told him before that his good brother Chen Yulou was planning to go to Ping Mountain to make a big splash.

Moreover, through his observation, Partridge Whistle discovered that Ning Chen and Chen Yulou were meeting for the first time. That was strange. How did Ning Chen know that Chen Yulou was going to rob a tomb in Ping Mountain?

"Brother Chen, do you already have a target?"

"Of course, otherwise why would we have come to Old Bear Ridge? You know, there's a Ping Mountain nearby, and the locals say there's a tomb there, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty!"

When the name Ping Mountain came into Partridge Whistle's ears, everything Ning Chen had said was indeed true, and Partridge Whistle was filled with disbelief.

If it weren't for the timing, he would have insisted on asking clearly, but unfortunately he knew that Ning Chen was very tight-lipped and probably wouldn't get any answers.

"Brother Chen, since you came here for the ancient tomb, why are you all alone? Where are your men?" Partridge Whistle asked.

Chen Yulou, with an embarrassed expression, slowly began to speak.

Although he came to Ping Mountain for the ancient tomb, he was accompanied by several capable subordinates and a warlord.

The group was resting at the mortuary in Old Bear Ridge when an old cat bit off the ear of a stiff body and ran away.

Chen Yulou was a tomb raider, and he hated dying without a complete corpse. Moreover, the old cat had bitten off his ear right under his nose, which was intolerable. That's why he chased it all the way down the mountain.

That's why he ran into Partridge Whistle and the others.

"Old cat? Could it be that wild cat whose intestines were cleansed by the old fox spirit?" Ning Chen said, pointing to the old cat that was dead beyond any doubt in front of the stone tablet.

"Oh, let me see..."

Chen Yulou looked over and saw that it really was the old cat. He went over and, not caring about the old cat's miserable appearance, reached out and pried open the cat's mouth. After fiddling around for a while, he actually pulled out an ear.

"Wow, Brother Chen is really impressive!"

Ning Chen got goosebumps all over. He was impressed that they could do such a thing. They were really skilled. However, in the eyes of Chen Yulou and the others, this was nothing. They were digging up graves and stealing food from the dead. There was nothing they couldn't tolerate.

"Haha, now we can finally give that standing zombie a proper burial. Oh, right, let's not delay, my brothers must be getting impatient. Let's meet up and talk things over!"

Chen Yulou's mood improved, and he said with a smile. Partridge Whistle and Ning Chen exchanged a glance and agreed.

The group soon arrived at the mortuary at Old Bear Ridge. Hong Guniang and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Yulou had returned safely.

"My dear Manager Chen, who are you to take such a risk? Let that damned ear go, it's gone!"

The speaker had a roguish air about him and was dressed in military uniform; he was none other than Luo Laowai, the warlord who had been urging Chen Yulou to take him tomb raiding.

In reality, he was afraid of being eliminated by other warlords, so he tried to acquire some money to expand his military and strengthen his power.

In the end, the result was also tragic.

"Old Luo, you have no idea how exciting my ordeal was. I'll tell you all about it later. Now, let me introduce you to a few experts!"

Chen Yulou pointed at Partridge Whistle and said, "This is Partridge Whistle, the leader of the Mountain Moving Sect. He's my brother. Those two are his fellow disciples."

The name "Moving Mountains and Unloading Ridges" was widely known, and Hong Guniang and the others held him in high esteem. However, the way he looked at Partridge Whistle was a little unusual, but he quickly returned to normal.

"So you're the Mountain Moving Taoist! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

Luo Laowai clasped his hands in a mock-serious gesture and then looked at Ning Chen, asking, "And this gentleman? He looks quite young."

Speaking of Ning Chen, Chen Yulou cleared his throat first, then gave Ning Chen a look. Ning Chen was a little amused and exasperated; he probably meant to tell him not to bring up Chen Yulou's previous embarrassing incident...

"This brother, Ning Chen, is equally remarkable. He's a descendant of the legendary Faqiu lineage, and his skills are extraordinary. I only just met him!"

Ning Chen nodded without saying much. Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief and casually launched into a long explanation: "You don't know this, but just now, Brother Ning and Brother Partridge Whistle killed two fox spirits. Come, let my brothers see!"

The old foreigner put his large basket on the ground, took out the two fox spirits he had just retrieved, and placed them on the ground as a group of people watched in amazement.

The fox spirit is a valuable item. It is said that if you grind its bones into powder and consume it, it can break all kinds of illusions. It is rarely available on the market and is more expensive than gold.

Otherwise, the old foreigner wouldn't have been burdened with it.

The three major tomb raiding schools—Mountain Moving, Ridge Unloading, and Ning Chen, the Tomb Raider General—are gathered together, creating an unprecedented scene. Naturally, they would be plotting something.
