Chapter 150: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 32
When Wu Xie finally reached the bottom of the water, the scene before him shocked him.
The originally open top of the tomb was once again sealed tightly with heavy stones.
Faced with the sudden change, Wu Xie did not hesitate and began to desperately pull out the stones that were blocking his progress.
At this moment, a huge and powerful hand suddenly reached out from above, grabbed a few stones and smashed them hard at Wu Xie.
Wu Xie was caught off guard, and his heart tightened as he saw the stone about to hit him.
However, at the critical moment, a familiar figure swam quickly to his side.
It turned out to be Fatty Wang. He had been worried about Wu Xie's safety, so he followed him into the water.
In a hurry, Fatty Wang pushed Wu Xie and avoided the attack of the stones.
Zhang Qiling witnessed this thrilling scene from a distance. A trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but then he turned around and swam away silently in another direction.
Wu Xie finally returned to the shore, took a breath, then turned around and walked towards the sea without hesitation.
Seeing this, Fatty Wang on the side became anxious and quickly reached out to grab him, yelling.
"You're so naive! Do you want to die? You just managed to escape death, and now you're rushing back to hell again!"
However, Wu Xie seemed not to have heard anything and just kept walking forward with a firm and determined look in his eyes.
He had only one thought in his mind, and that was to rescue Zhang Qiling!
Looking at the stubborn Wu Xie, Fatty Wang couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
He knew that Wu Xie was a man of loyalty and righteousness, but the current situation was too dangerous and he might lose his life if he was not careful.
But no matter how he persuaded, Wu Xie refused to turn back.
"Wu Xie! We can't act so rashly!"
Fatty Wang grabbed Wu Xie's arm tightly, trying to get him to stop.
"Even if you want to save someone, you have to take care of your own life first! If something happens to you, how can you save the little brother?"
Faced with Fatty Wang’s earnest advice, Wu Xie finally stopped.
Wu Xie looked at the endless sea and seemed to come to his senses.
Perhaps Zhang Qiling left because he had his own things to do, such as searching for his memories.
So he yelled.
"Brother Zhang, I'll wait for you in Hangzhou."
At this time, Qi Yu and Xie Yuchen had just come out of the underwater tomb.
On the passenger ship that picked them up, they met Wu Sansheng.
But he seemed not to know them and walked past them hurriedly.
It was just a sudden gesture that told Qi Yu that the Wang family was nearby.
Looking at Wu Sanxing's receding back, Xie Yuchen asked in confusion.
"Is this what he is?"
"Infiltrate the enemy. He is the hostage, Wu Xie is the bait, and you, me, Zhang Qiling, Fatty Wang, and my father are all generals."
Qi Yu turned his head to look at Xie Yuchen beside him and continued.
"He can't handle such a big game by himself, so someone must be willing to sacrifice his life to help him. I don't need to tell you who that person is."
"Why are they doing this?"
Xie Yuchen was still puzzled and looked at Qi Yu with sorrow in his heart.
If they wanted stability and money, Wu Sanxing and his uncle could have done it easily with their abilities.
So what are they trying to gain by risking their lives like this?
"First, it is the promise made by the elders of the Nine Sects to the Zhang family. The Zhang family gave them what they wanted, but some people, for their own selfish desires, did not fulfill their responsibilities and even secretly targeted the Zhang family."
"The Zhang family here is not Zhang Qishan, but the Zhang family. The one who represents the Zhang family now is Zhang Qiling."
"The second thing is, of course, revenge. That's a blood feud, how can we forget it?"
"I once heard my father say that when he went to Changsha, it was already too late. Of the more than 100 people in the Qi family, only less than 10 were left. Your Xie family is better off."
As he was talking, Qi Yu couldn't help but recall the time when Hei Xia Zi got drunk and Tao Tao burst into tears, complaining about the cruelty of God.
Hearing this, Xie Yuchen quickly realized the key, and his eyes became a little more confused.
"The source of everything is the cooperation with the Zhang family?"
Qi Yu smiled and shook his head, saying softly.
"Not entirely. It's the temptation of immortality and the unpredictability of human hearts."
"The Zhang family's immortal physique is so tempting that it drives many talented people crazy."
"Wang Zanghai, who was related to this tomb, was also obsessed with it. He learned the secret of Zhang's longevity by chance. He wanted to join the Zhang family and gain longevity, but was rejected by the Zhang family. The Zhang family was afraid that Wang Zanghai would use the court to target them, so they chose to hide from the world."
"However, Wang Zanghai pursued immortality all his life in vain, and finally died of depression. His descendants also learned the secret of Zhang's longevity through Wang Zanghai, so they formed a mysterious organization, claiming to be descendants of the phoenix. Since then, they have been trying to find the whereabouts of Zhang's family and study them, just to find true immortality."
"During the wartime period of the Republic of China, this group of Wang family members learned the location of the Zhang family's land, so they joined forces with local warlords to invade the Zhang family's land. After many lootings, the Zhang family was no longer as powerful as before. At the critical moment of life and death, the Zhang family agreed to Zhang Qishan's suggestion and cooperated with the Nine Gates."
"However, Zhang Qishan betrayed the Zhang family and imprisoned everyone in the Zhang family, including the young Zhang Qiling. Together with other forces and some people in the Old Nine Gates who pursued immortality, they conducted human experiments in the Zhang family's old house."
"After the wandering Zhang family members found out, they gathered together, mobilized all their strength, and paid a heavy price to rescue Zhang Qiling and other members of the Zhang family."
"How can people who have known or experienced the pleasure of immortality give up their pursuit?"
"Under the instigation of the Wang family, they frantically calculated everything around them, including their own relatives and friends."
"For example, the Qi family. It was the Wang family who revealed that the Qi family also had immortals."
"So they chose Qi Yu, the young master of the Qi family, to conduct the longevity experiment. At a young age, he was infused with Wang Canghai's memories. After he grew up, he disappeared when the Xisha archaeological team was investigating the West Queen Mother Palace."
"After the truth was revealed, that group of people wanted to plot against other members of the Qi family, and the Qi family rose up in resistance."
"The Qi, Xie, and Wu families are related by marriage, so they share the same hatred and are united in hatred. As a result, assassinations have occurred frequently within the Nine Gates."
"In the end, it was Zhang Qishan who came to his senses and suppressed the rebellion with force, which allowed the Nine Gates to maintain superficial peace."
"But at this time, the Qi family no longer has any direct descendants, and the only surviving collateral descendant is a young man; the Xie family only has you and your uncle as direct descendants; Grandpa Wu also died in that dispute, and even Wu Xie's parents were retaliated by that group of people and died in the tomb."
"There is a person behind all the schemes of the Nine Sects, and that is Huo Xiangu who committed suicide."
