Chapter 337: Chapter 337 People on the Same Boat
The tomb chamber reeked of blood.
The bodies of Cultivators were piled high throughout the chamber.
Everyone finally understood that it would be absolutely impossible to take any relics out of this ancient tomb.
Some Cultivators, in order to survive, willingly handed over the treasures they had obtained from the tomb, and only by this stroke of fortune did they manage to save their lives.
The surviving Cultivators emerged from the tomb; from the original number of several hundreds, only a little over fifty remained.
The Cultivators had sullen faces, their eyes flickering with anger.
“Those bastards are utterly shameless!”
“Today’s events must be announced to the world so that all Cultivators know of their despicable actions!”
The Cultivators scattered, fleeing from the place, intent on spreading the news of what had transpired that day.
It was deep at night, and a lone figure, ghost-like, stepped out and instantly appeared a hundred meters away.
This figure moved swiftly toward the ancient tomb and, in a matter of a few breaths, reached the outside of the tomb.
Looking up at the tombstone outside the tomb, the name Li Changfeng caught his eye.
“Li Changfeng? The most talented person from the Li Family a hundred years ago?” he thought with mild surprise.
Xie Min was no stranger to Li Changfeng, having grown up listening to his legendary tales when Li Changfeng was at the height of his renown and Xie Min was but a child.
He held respect for this predecessor in his heart.
Standing before the tombstone, Xie Min bowed three times, then made his way toward the ancient tomb.
Only Li Shisan and three others remained in the tomb chamber. Li Shisan’s gaze kept shifting towards Zhang Peng and the other two men, sneering inwardly, for it wouldn’t be long before they would have to hand over all their treasures.
“Thud, thud, thud~”
Extremely faint footsteps resounded from the entrance.
The few people inside turned their heads simultaneously to look, and an elderly man with white hair and wearing a long gown slowly walked into the tomb chamber.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Shisan’s face lit up with joy as he stood up and called out, “Fifth Elder!”
The expressions of Zhang Peng and the others changed dramatically—Li Shisan had actually summoned someone!
Suddenly, they realized they could not discern the old man’s Cultivation Level.
The elder must be no ordinary person, and the reason they could not see through him was probably that his Cultivation Level was stronger than theirs.
The three of them stood up, quietly clustering together with a vigilant gaze and tensed muscles ready for action.
Xie Min nodded slightly as a greeting to Li Shisan. His eyes then swept over the other three and asked in a light voice, “Did you see the stone stele outside the tomb?”
Zhang Peng responded, “We saw it.”
“Since you saw it, why did you come here?” Xie Min’s gaze sharpened, and his tone suddenly turned severe, “This tomb is the resting place of an ancestor of the Li Family. Did Li Shisan not tell you?”
Li Shisan interjected at the right moment, “Fifth Elder, I had informed them, but they did not take it seriously.”
Zhang Peng and his companions wore ugly expressions; at such a moment, Li Shisan’s words were clearly meant to put them in danger.
“Not take it seriously?” Xie Min’s white eyebrows rose slightly, “If that’s the case, then don’t blame this old man for being inhospitable. After all, the tomb of my ancestor from the Li Family cannot be defiled!”
As his voice was about to fade, a terrifying force swept out from Xie Min’s body, causing even the corpses on the ground to tremble slightly at that moment.
Feeling this terrifying aura, the hearts of the few present pounded fiercely.
Mo Mo, whose thoughts were the most delicate, knew that if she did not make some sacrifices today, they would definitely not be able to leave the tomb chamber safely.

The treasures in the tomb chamber might be tempting, but they could not be compared with one’s life.
“Senior, please do not be angry,” Mo Mo said as she removed her storage ring. “This young lady was greedy for a moment. If I have disrespected the ancestors of the Li Family, I apologize here. Everything I obtained today in the tomb chamber is in this storage ring. I hope you can forgive me.”
Xie Min nodded in satisfaction, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the storage ring flew towards his palm.
After sensing the contents of the storage ring, Xie Min hummed lightly and said, “You may go.”
Mo Mo breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Senior,” then turned around and left the tomb chamber, not daring to stay a moment longer.
Zhang Peng and Mo Ziwen, though reluctant, had no choice but to do as Mo Mo had done and hand over their storage rings, leaving with nothing.
After the three of them were stripped of their storage rings and left, Li Shisan asked with some confusion, “Fifth Elder, why did you let them go?”
Xie Min tossed him a storage ring and said, “Since they were willing to give up their treasures, sparing their lives is not impossible. After all, even I would struggle to kill them without paying some price.”
Although Xie Min was not entirely pleased, now that they had taken back all the items, he let it go.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s go back as well,” Xie Min said, still unaware of the matter regarding the teleportation array.
Li Shisan added, “Fifth Elder, there’s one more thing.”
Li Shisan then explained the entire situation regarding the teleportation formation to him.
Upon learning that there was a teleportation formation here, Li Shisan was pleasantly surprised and asked, “Is it the young man named Li Xiaoyao who entered the formation?”
Li Shisan nodded and said, “Yes, I saw with my own eyes. Only he entered the formation, and afterward, Zhu Jiuyin also ran into the formation. The others tried to follow, but they couldn’t be transported.”
“This is indeed strange,” Xie Min said with a slight frown. “Tomorrow I will send someone to set up camp here. That boy will have to pass through the ancient tomb if he returns. Once he comes out, I will immediately kill him.”
With a slight shake of his hand, Li Shisan hesitated for a few seconds and said, “But… he could be the Family Head’s…”
Xie Min immediately interrupted him, “There are no such possibilities. That child died twenty-eight years ago. This boy who trespassed into the tomb of the Li Family ancestors must be executed!”
Li Shisan did not say more; he could see that Xie Min had the intention to kill Li Xiaoyao, whom he had never met.
The reason Xie Min wanted to kill Li Xiaoyao was naturally because of Xiaoyao’s potential identity.
Xie Nan, the eldest daughter of the Xie Family, was the second wife of the Li Family Head.
And the Li Family Head’s first wife, it was rumored, had mysteriously disappeared twenty-eight years ago.
Before the disappearance of the first wife, she had left behind a son, but no one had ever seen this child, not even the Li Family Head.
Everyone thought that the child was dead, but Li Yu, who saw Li Xiaoyao in the ancient tomb, found that he bore a resemblance to the Li Family Head and reported this to Li Shisan.
Li Shisan came here and found that Li Xiaoyao indeed bore a striking resemblance to the Family Head.
The Li Family of Xuan Country, ranked among the Eight Great Sects, had a family population far beyond what outsiders could imagine.
In such a scenario, the Li Family was naturally divided into several power factions.
Among them, the faction led by the second wife, Xie Nan, was one of them.
Li Shisan was part of this faction.
