“Cough, cough, cough.”
As Ji Hao released him, Yao Si felt greatly relieved and greedily gasped for air.
Once he had recovered a bit, Yao Si quickly said, “It is indeed a grand tomb, but I truly found nothing because I couldn’t even get through the door.”
Ji Hao sneered, “Do grave robbers use the front door?”
Yao Si quickly explained, “Those grand tombs have anti-theft layouts. No matter which direction you dig a tunnel from, the outcome will definitely be death, with not even a speck of you left. What I entered at the time was just a false tomb, but I’m too cunning. After eighty or ninety years in this profession, how could I be fooled by a dead person? So then I found the location of the true main tomb, and then I got injured.”
Zhou You murmured, “You are in the Tian Yuan Realm.”
Yao Si slapped his thigh, “Isn’t that right? It’s precisely because my strength gave me confidence that I never expected someone to have set up a corpse zombie Devouring Soul Formation near the tomb entrance.”
Zhou You looked confused; he had never heard of it.
Ji Hao, however, was astonished, “What kind of Za Yu is this? To be able to set up such a terrifying Formation?”
Zhou You said nonchalantly, “Probably a Golden Dragon Fish.”
“Golden Dragon Fish?”
Ji Hao looked puzzled, “Is there such a Za Yu? I’ve heard of goldfish, and I’ve eaten Dragon Fish, but what is a Golden Dragon Fish?”
Zhou You fell into thought; he wasn’t really interested in grave robbing.
But getting the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill from the Corpse Puppet last time had given him a taste of its benefits.
People often say that money is external, you can’t bring it with you in life or take it with you in death.
But what is the reality?
People who have died frequently know that when buried, many like to take a pile of things they enjoyed when alive.
For example, gold and silver treasures, rare and exotic treasures.
If the deceased is a man, he must also bring his official wife and concubines. If a woman, it’s simple: she brings her husband and children.
In any case, you cannot bring your paramour. Please note, you absolutely cannot bring them.
Otherwise, family conflicts will continue even after death, arguing endlessly, and you won’t even have peace in death.
The above is referred to as human sacrifice.
Of course, some people like cats and dogs and will dig a horse pit or something nearby.
Naturally, these people will also bring their Cultivation Technique, great swords, and so on with them.
Life and death share the same path, ask not about the return.
What Master doesn’t teach him, he can completely learn outside.
Zhou You’s interest was piqued, “Xiao Ji, do you like grave robbing?”
Ji Hao sneered, “Is that something a person does? But I like adventure.”
Zhou You nodded, “It’s a perfect match.”
Grave robbing is immoral, it’s a wicked deed.
But adventure, that’s different.
What is adventure?
Adventure is a spirit, a way to increase one’s own value, and even an act that elevates the Soul.
Therefore, those who rob graves are called grave robbers, and those who adventure are called adventurers. This ‘adventurer’ represents ‘Master’. ‘Master’ is taken from ‘masterly demeanor’, and masterly demeanor refers to noble individuals with high status, possessing lofty standing and extraordinary grace and bearing.
Things cannot be compared; one comparison will inevitably be low-end, and the other noble.
“You’re going?”
Yao Si’s face showed alarm; he was truly terrified of that place.
“Za Yu!”
Ji Hao reached out and grabbed Yao Si by the back of the neck, “As a prisoner, do you think you have a choice?”
Yao Si’s eyes showed fear, not only of Ji Hao but also of the Evil Forces.
That was a terrifying existence that could make even the top five hundred Sects of the Kunyuan Continent remain silent.
Wherever there is shadow, evil will breed.
Members of the Evil Forces are absolutely everywhere, in every corner, every stratum, and even among the top five hundred of the Kunyuan Continent.
It could be said that they are omnipresent and impossible to guard against.
“Don’t kill him.”
Zhou You spoke up to instruct.
Ji Hao was furious, “Za Yu, are you telling me what to do?”
However, Zhou You had already walked back, thought for a moment, then returned, looking at the collapsed courtyard gate. “You pay for the gate repair.”
Ji Hao was furious, “Why?”
Zhou You said, “You knocked it down.”
Ji Hao’s face was grim, his killing intent exposed.
Zhou You remained calm, “You’re not going to renege on your debt, are you?”
Ji Hao snorted coldly, took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone and threw it into the courtyard, “Build it bigger, build it grander, don’t make it look like a beggar’s den, it’s disgusting!”
Only then did Zhou You walk back into the courtyard and look at Zhou Xian, “Pick up the Spirit Stone.”
Zhou Xian then picked it up.
Zhou Chao’s face was pale and bloodless, his clenched jaw revealing his immense anger.
Anger, shame.
“It seems I still thought things too simply.”
Zhou You looked at Zhou Chao, “I actually thought they could still be saved.”
Zhou Chao looked up, “You can just kill them.”
Zhou You said, “They are your flesh and blood; how can I just eliminate them?”
Zhou Chao bit his lip until blood oozed out; at that moment, he seemed to suddenly age a lot.
Originally, with his younger brother’s return, he was filled with joy, feeling that the Zhou Family could definitely rise to the next level.
He never expected these two sons to go to such a terrifying extent.
Zhou You’s gaze swept over Zhou Chen and Zhou Xian, “What do you two think?”
Zhou Xian bowed, “Everything is up to Second Master.”
Zhou Chen pursed her lips and whispered, “Grandfather and Grandmother are still alive after all. If we really… really go to that extent, I’m afraid the two elders… will not be at peace.”
Zhou You nodded and said nothing more.
Zhou Chao suddenly said, “I will personally confiscate all their subordinate properties and… completely remove them from the Zhou Family.”
After saying this, he seemed to deflate completely.
Perhaps, this was the best decision.
And the only decision.
Zhou You, however, only said, “Xiao Chen, Zhou Xian, come with me.”
Zhou Xian exclaimed, “Go where?”
“To get back the confidence you lost.”
Zhou You first went into the room and spoke with his parents; after all, his departure this time was also to seek medical treatment for his parents, hoping to restore their health so they wouldn’t be unable to go out and get some sun every day.
“The lost confidence?”
Zhou Xian looked bewildered; he couldn’t help but look at his hands.
Yes, he seemed to have lost his self-respect and confidence a long time ago, living a life of always pleasing others.
That kind of daily flattery and habitual smile seemed to have been etched into his bones.
Zhou You led the two out of the courtyard again, “Xiao Ji, let’s go to the Hua Xing Sect.”
“Tch.”
Ji Hao curled his lip in disdain, “A Za Yu School, what’s there to go for?”
Zhou You walked straight ahead; his words… he only said them once.
Ji Hao angrily rebuked, “Za Yu, what kind of attitude is that?”
As he spoke, he kicked Yao Si away, “Hurry up and follow.”
Yao Si was in agony, scrambling to follow.
“Second Master.”
Zhou Xian called out softly.
“Hm?”
“You’re going the wrong way.”
