Chapter 494: Chapter 0494: Ambush on The Way

A group of people parked at the base of the mountain; having come all the way from the highway and taken a detour along a mountain road, they arrived here in the afternoon.

Long Fei looked around, observing that the terrain of this particular mountain range was not high, but it was extraordinarily unique.

Even he, who was not well-versed in Feng Shui, could feel a majestic aura here.

The mountains have spirits, and their presence oppresses the people.

Standing beneath the great mountains, one can’t help but feel overwhelmed by a tremendous pressure.

The ancient reverence for mountain deities stemmed from this very sensation.

Depending on the mountains’ shapes and forms, the pressure also varies.

This is what is known as Feng Shui.

Some people seek a domineering type of Feng Shui, choosing mountain terrains that are undulating, bearing great pressure, with strong magnetic fields.

Others pursue a serene kind of Feng Shui, opting for milder terrains with relatively weak magnetic fields, placing less burden on a person.

The Feng Shui of this place is a bit strange.

It resembles a fierce tiger making its den, with its feet to the front and head to the back, unspeakably solemn and forbidding.

To be buried in such a place would surely mean the end of one’s lineage.

Long Fei had Zhang Yinyang ask Du Jun to confirm the direction.

Ghosts perceive their surroundings through consciousness, and by this time, the setting sun’s rays weakened the intense force of Taihua.

A surge of black energy emerged and quickly said, "That’s right, it’s here, the burial is under that protruding peak."

Li Zhenni, Fat Wang, and Lu Buping had packed their gear and were now studying the mountainous landscape.

Chu Feng, drawing on a cigarette, asked them with a smile, "Do any of you understand Feng Shui? You all seem so captivated."

Li Zhenni, likely harboring some resentment towards him, rolled her eyes at him, "As if you understand it."

Chu Feng cleared his throat and, with a pretentious air, began to lecture, "I may not be an expert on other types of Feng Shui, but I do understand this place’s Feng Shui."

"Let’s hear it."

Long Fei still had a lot of trust in him.

The others also widened their eyes in anticipation.

Chu Feng said, "The Feng Shui here is known as the ’White Tiger Killing Formation,’ resembling a white tiger resting in its lair with eyes shut. It’s extremely fierce, containing its power without releasing it. Those buried in this land either sought death themselves or wished death upon their descendants. In any case, they’re certainly no ordinary people."

The crowd listened to his serious explanation and thought there was some truth to it.

Li Zhenni said, "How is that possible? People choose burial sites to seek wealth or official rank, who would bury themselves in such an ominous place?"

Chu Feng replied, "That’s a question for the tomb’s owner. He probably wanted to become a malevolent ghost after death, which is why he’s buried here!"

Long Fei agreed, "That’s indeed possible. The malevolent energy converges here. Buried in this place, the corpse would be infected by the malevolent spirit, and this would definitely lead to some abnormality. Perhaps the tomb’s owner intended this, wanting to become a malevolent spirit after death!"

"Whether it’s a malevolent or evil spirit, since we have come upon it, let’s eliminate it all and prevent a disaster."

Chu Feng’s fighting spirit soared as if he had found some prey.

Long Fei nodded and led the group up the mountain.

Li Zhenni followed behind him, a hint of complaint in her voice, "You, always encountering such good fortunes, why don’t you take the initiative to tell me?"

Long Fei smiled wryly, "Miss, how is this a good thing? Isn’t it plainly a life-risking affair?"

Fat Wang and Lu Buping shouted, "It’s definitely a good thing. For this mission, Miss has offered a million. Brother-in-law, you can’t keep such opportunities from us in the future!"

"Yeah, Master, I’m counting on you for the money to get married."

Long Fei glanced at them; they wanted the money but not the risk involved.

What good is all that money if you run into a jiangshi?

Long Fei asked Fat Wang, "Have your parents been discharged from the hospital yet?"

Fat Wang touched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Soon, they say the hospital food is good and want to recuperate a couple more days."

Long Fei was speechless; they probably treated the hospital like a nursing home.

The path up the mountain was difficult, but it posed no problem for them.

Everyone present had opened their governor and conception vessels, placing them at a master level within the Ancient Martial World.

Halfway up the mountain, a sudden rumble came from above, resembling an earthquake.

The group stopped in their tracks, only to hear the sound of stones tumbling down from above.

Chu Feng said, "Someone must be trying to steal our business."

Long Fei said, "It must be those tomb-raiding thieves."

Fat Wang, carrying his shovel, cried out, "Damn it, an ambush halfway! I, Fat master, will chop them to pieces."

Before even getting close, they already considered the ancient tomb to be theirs.

The mountain wasn’t tall, probably around two hundred meters.

Once the group climbed up, the sky had already begun to darken.

They hid in the distance to take a look, and the area around the tomb entrance was brightly lit.

A group of strong men was working methodically, with a large searchlight set up above them, shining brightly all around.

There was a flat space around the tomb entrance, and behind it was a sheer cliff.

It didn’t look like a tomb, it resembled more of a cave.

Within the crowd, an elderly man dressed in traditional Tang attire was particularly conspicuous.

By now, Du Jun had completely emerged, speaking indignantly to Long Fei, "That old bastard is our troublemaker, Li Cangfeng."

In life, he probably suffered enough at the hands of this troublemaker; even in death, he was full of resentment.

And rightly so, if not for this old man, he wouldn’t have died.

The group of strong men each carried firearms, and after the dust from the cave entrance cleared, they slid down one after another using ropes.

Li Cangfeng seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve, holding a Mystic Iron Sword that reflected the light of the searchlight, sending out shafts of cold light.

He also went down personally this time, probably because the things below were so valuable that he had staked it all.

According to Du Jun, a new corpse fetched a hundred thousand, while an old corpse started at ten million.

If they could capture the "zongzi" in the tomb, then they would really make a fortune.

After they went down, four men were left guarding the tomb entrance with their guns.

Long Fei instructed everyone, "Let’s go!"

He took out four silver needles from his pocket and crept through the woods, flinging them out when he was a hundred meters away.

Whiz whiz whiz, a sound of whispers.

The silver needles darted through the trees, suddenly striking from between the plants.

The four sturdy men’s bodies softened, rolling onto the ground one by one.

Needles stuck in their necks, temporarily sealing their acupoints and knocking them out.

At that distance, not even bullets could be shot that accurately.

After Long Fei and the others moved past them, they took the guns from the four men.

Fat Wang and Lu Buping tied them up with ropes, dragging them to the back and binding them to trees.

Despicable tomb thieves, excavating ancestral graves, stealing corpses, not killing them was already being quite lenient.

Chu Feng gave Long Fei a thumbs-up and said, "Not bad, your needle technique is almost on par with the ’Invincible East’."

"Get lost!"

Long Fei laughed and cursed, then asked, "Should we wait for them up here, or go down to take a look?"

Chu Feng replied, "Of course we’re going down. I reckon those blockheads aren’t a match for the ’zongzi’."

Long Fei nodded, then turned to Li Zhenni and said, "Why don’t you wait up here?"

"Are you kidding!"

Li Zhenni gave him a sideways glance, having come all this way; she didn’t want to miss the chance to explore.

Long Fei glanced at the others, and they too wanted to go down to have a look.

They rarely had the chance to see a ’zongzi,’ and this was an excellent opportunity to broaden their horizons.

After exchanging a look with Chu Feng, Long Fei agreed to their wishes.

Li Zhenni and the others slung the guns of the strong men on their backs, and one by one followed behind them, sliding down the ropes.

The cave was cool and as soon as they entered, they were greeted with a musty, moldy smell.

The space was illuminated by glow sticks thrown by the people ahead, allowing them to see clearly.
