He reached up and slowly peeled the human skin mask off his face. The moment I saw him, I froze.
"Yan Xi, long time no see."
I never expected to see this person here; he had been gone for quite a while.
"Liu Qingfeng, how could it be you?"
He chuckled softly, "It's me. What, not satisfied?"
I snorted and charged at him with my gun drawn. He didn’t flinch.
I aimed the gun at his head and asked, "So, Liu Daozhang, your courage has grown, huh? Not even afraid of a bullet now?"
"Yan Xi, if you want to make a move, I won't blame you. After all, I deceived you and harmed your parents," he said.
He closed his eyes, appearing non-resistant, as if waiting for me to strike.
But he could no longer guess my thoughts. I lowered my hand and holstered my gun.
I patted his shoulder and said, "Liu Daozhang, when you helped me back then, I remembered your kindness for a lifetime. This matter is settled."
He opened his eyes, his eyelids slightly reddening as he uttered two words to me.
"Thank you."
What I wanted to know now was the purpose behind all his actions. I asked him if Chen Jiang was his accomplice and why he had deceived these people into coming here to die.
"I am not in cahoots with Chen Jiang, but the map he has is indeed the one I gave him,"
Mu Xuanche said, revealing that the hidden person had a grudge against these individuals. Did Liu Qingfeng also have a vendetta against them?
I went to ask him, but he didn't tell me anything.
"Yan Xi, let's go inside first. Once we get what we need from there, I'll slowly explain everything to you,"
I paused, but Mu Xuanche continued, "The type of map you have is the same as the one in the possession of the Spirit Sect Leader—the Gold Foil Silk."
Liu Qingfeng nodded in acknowledgment.
I was puzzled. How did Liu Qingfeng obtain this? Was this what he exchanged for my parents back then?
Noticing my troubled expression, the two men quickly spoke up to prevent my wild thoughts.
"Then tell me, what exactly are we going in to retrieve?"
Finally, it was Liu Qingfeng who spoke. "We're looking for a piece of jade. This jade is one of the essential keys to unlock Qin Wang's Tomb."
Qin Wang's Tomb again? Why was everyone searching for it?
Suddenly, something clicked in my mind. I asked Liu Qingfeng, "Liu Daozhang, are you looking for Qin Wang's Tomb for the True Dragon Qi inside to save Hong Village?"
Upon hearing the name Hong Village, he seemed surprised, as if he hadn't expected us to know about it.
"You've been to Hong Village?"
I nodded, "Liu Daozhang, we accidentally went in and encountered Liu Shaoming."
"Is he alright?" Liu Qingfeng's lips trembled slightly, clearly very anxious.
I didn't hide the truth from him and told him that Liu Shaoming was dead.
He laughed recklessly, but the sadness behind that smile was evident.
"Better dead; at least he's free now. He suffered his whole life, and it's time for him to enjoy some peace."
I didn't dare to tell him what Liu Shaoming did before he died; I feared he wouldn't be able to handle it. It seemed he held Liu Shaoming in high regard.
He informed us that True Dragon Qi might not be able to dissolve the blood pool, but he could use it to exchange for something that could unlock the Blood Amber.
"Alright, let's not discuss this for now. Let's go inside and take a look."
I agreed with Liu Qingfeng and followed him into the tomb chamber.
Having seen my grandfather's ancient texts, Liu Qingfeng was very familiar with the mechanisms of this Tomb.
With him leading the way, we almost effortlessly entered the Tomb.
Soon, we arrived at the place where the coffin was placed.
Unlike other coffins, this one was suspended high in the air, surrounded by massive iron chains holding it in place.
I couldn't quite see what material the coffin was made of, but it looked like it was crafted from bronze.
Who exactly is buried here that warrants a Bronze Coffin, and placed in such a location? Could it have been thrown down from above? That seems utterly absurd.
"What should we do now? Do you have any tools to fly up there?" I asked the two men beside me. Mu Xuanche remained silent, simply standing quietly next to me.
Liu Qingfeng raised a hook and began to walk upward. The Entrance Hall was so high; he must be dreaming if he thinks he can throw it up there.
To my surprise, the next moment Liu Qingfeng actually pulled a pigeon out of his backpack—a real pigeon, and it looked quite strong.
He had the pigeon bite onto one end of the rope and then pointed upward for it to fly.
How long must he have trained that pigeon to be so obedient? I was left dumbfounded.
Just as Liu Qingfeng was getting the rope ready to go up, he was suddenly called out by Mu Xuanche.
"Wait."
Liu Qingfeng turned around in confusion to look at Mu Xuanche. "Are you going up yourself?"
Mu Xuanche ignored Liu Qingfeng and shouted into the air, "Since we're here, isn't it rude not to come out?"
"Hahaha..."
A familiar laugh came from behind us. I recognized it as Old Fox's.
He shouldn't be here; he should be out fighting. How did he manage to come in? Can he really break the Illusion?
"Chen, the Sect Leader, I recognize your voice. Why don't you show yourself?"
Several figures slowly appeared before us. In addition to Chen Jiang and Chen Han, there was also the Old Taoist Priestess.
If I still didn't understand at this point, I would truly be a fool. Chen Han's earlier disappearance was clearly orchestrated by Chen Jiang because the Old Taoist Priestess could only save one person with her limited abilities.
I had been puzzled as to why the Old Taoist Priestess, who hadn't used her powers, was being kept around by Chen Jiang.
Now it was clear: the Old Taoist Priestess's greatest strengths were detoxification and formation. Chen Jiang must have known this, which is why he brought her along.
Old Fox—I knew he wouldn't die so easily. He was too clever; if he died that easily, it would be an insult to the title of Old Fox.
However, no matter how smart he was, he still couldn't escape Mu Xuanche's prowess.
He squinted at Mu Xuanche, his voice particularly grim. "Mu Xuanche, it's time to reveal your true self."
I never expected this Old Fox to have already seen through Mu Xuanche's true identity. I wondered when he figured it out; he hadn't mentioned a word about it. To hold back for so long was impressive.
"I'm tired of wearing this skin; it's quite bothersome. If I keep it on any longer, my wife might run off with someone else,"
he joked at that moment, casually peeling off the human skin mask from his face.
As his true face was revealed to everyone, his handsome features took everyone's breath away.
I still found this face more pleasing than Island Master's; Second's face was also quite agreeable.
Smiling, she walked over to him and gently touched his face. "Hmm, this face is quite handsome."
He affectionately ruffled my hair. "Women really only care about looks."
"Haha..."
I laughed heartily, for I had that right.
I never expected Old Fox to actually know Mu Xuanche. When I saw his true appearance, Old Fox called out, "Xuan Wang."
The surprising part was that Mu Xuanche responded to him.
"Chen Fox, long time no see."
I leaned closer to Mu Xuanche and asked, "Do you know him?"
Mu Xuanche nodded. "He knows your grandfather as well."
It was astonishing that these people were all acquainted. After learning about Mu Xuanche's identity, Chen Jiang turned his attention to Liu Qingfeng.
He was only a few years older than Liu Qingfeng and probably didn't hold much significance in my grandfather's generation.
"Liu Qingfeng, it's been over a decade since we last met, hasn't it?"
Liu Qingfeng's attitude toward Chen Jiang was not very friendly. "Chen Fox, you don't feel any guilt seeing me?"
Chen Jiang smiled, looking quite pleased with himself. "What do I have to feel guilty about? It wasn't me who killed your father; it was my father who did that. If you have the ability, go find him in the underworld. Liu Qingfeng, you're just too obsessed."
He suddenly revealed a secret from decades ago. Liu Qingfeng's father was the Taoist priest who led the Liu Clan to move; he was an extraordinary figure.
Once the Liu Clan settled down, he felt the urge to explore the outside world. However, he did not expect that his skills would attract the attention of those from various sects.
They conspired together to kill him. Before he died, he entrusted an ancient book passed down from their ancestors to a young boy who helped him in his final moments.
This boy was my grandfather. After Liu Qingfeng was sent away from Liu Village, he sought a way to find his bloodline while also searching for his father.
I do not know when Liu Qingfeng discovered the secret of his father's murder, but he had been plotting this scheme for a long time.
Liu Shaoming must have been in the know. Unsure of my relationship with Liu Qingfeng, he preferred to guard the secret with his life.
