“13th Uncle!”

Chen Changqing and the others in the distance were extremely excited when they saw Chen Zongtian arrive at the tomb.

At the same time, Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng followed the voice and saw Chen Changqing.

“Changqing, are you all right?”

“13th Uncle, we’re fine. It’s just that…”

“It’s just that the wait was painful. If you had come a little later, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have been able to see them.”

Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted Chen Changqing.

Hmm?

Chen Zongtian’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice. His sharp eyes immediately fell on Chen Changqing’s side.

At some point, a strange figure appeared. He could not see any useful information about the other party.

Furthermore, at this moment, this person was holding a cold long knife against Chen Changqing’s neck. His goal was self-evident.

“Who are you? What do you want to do by holding my nephew hostage?” Chen Zongtian questioned sternly.

His eyes were filled with fierce and murderous intent.

However, Lin Wudao remained unmoved. Rather, the corners of his mouth even curled up into a cold sneer.

“You don’t need to know who I am. Chen Changqing and the rest are in my hands now. As long as 1 exert some force, they will die. Therefore, you should know what 1 want, right? Two words, seeking wealth! 1 heard that the Southern Region’s grave robber aristocratic family has a long history and a strong foundation. Moreover, you have been digging graves everywhere these years, so you must have obtained a lot of good things. As long as you provide a few treasures that satisfy me, I will let Chen Changqing go. Otherwise, you can only wait to collect his corpse.”

Lin Wudao said with a faint smile.

“Heh! He wanted to threaten me?” Chen Zongtian thought.

Hearing this, Chen Zongtian sneered.

“13th Uncle, don’t believe his nonsense! This person is called Ren Woxing. Previously, he was the one who trapped us here to deliberately lure you here and blackmail you. He swore to the Heavenly Dao that he wouldn’t kill us, so he wouldn’t dare! 13th Uncle, don’t be deceived by him!”

At this moment, Chen Changqing, who was being held hostage, seemed to have found his confidence. He ignored Lin Wudao’s threat and roared crazily.

Boom.

Hearing this, how could Chen Zongtian tolerate the situation?

An extremely powerful aura erupted from his body and he was about to attack Lin Wudao.

“All!”

However, just as he was about to attack, a shrill scream suddenly sounded from the tomb.

Taking a closer look, one of the men in the back had been pierced through the chest by a golden battle spear and nailed to the ground. His life force was extinguished.

At the same time, a mighty giant man like a wild tyrannosaurus quietly appeared in the tomb, his face cold and ferocious.

It was Qin Daofu.

“Ren Woxing, you swore to the Heavenly Dao that you would never harm our lives! How dare you go against your oath? Aren’t you afraid of being punished and judged by the Heavenly Dao?” Chen Changqing roared with fear and hatred when he saw that one of his men had died. His face was distorted.

In response, Lin Wudao curled his lips.

“I did swear to the Heavenly Dao that 1 would never harm your lives, but that was only for me. If others want to kill you, 1 can’t do anything about it either. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot judge me because of this,” he spread his hands and said.

“Ren Woxing, you mad bastard! I curse you to die a horrible death!”

Seeing Lin Wudao shirk all responsibility, Chen Changqing was furious.

If looks could kill, Lin Wudao would have been cut into a thousand pieces or even turned into ashes.

“Alright, Brother Ren, why are you talking so much nonsense with them? Let’s cut to the chase. Chen Zongtian, do you want these people to live or die? If you want them to live, take out treasures to redeem them. If you want them to die, then I’ll send them to the netherworld right now and let them reincarnate as soon as possible. Don’t worry, we only want treasures. As long as you give us the treasures, we will keep our promise and not harm their lives.”

Qin Daofu held the golden battle spear in his hand and said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Chen Zongtian was so angry that he almost crushed his bones.

He turned to look at Yuan Daosheng, who was beside him. After he saw the latter nod in acknowledgment, he snorted coldly.

“How do I know if you will keep your promise?”

“We will, of course. After all, we have professional ethics. We only take what we should and not what we shouldn’t. If you don’t believe me, I can swear to the heavens.”

To gain Chen Zongtian’s trust, Qin Daofu immediately solemnly swore to the heavens that as long as he obtained the treasures, he would not harm Chen Changqing and the others.

Seeing this, Chen Zongtian stared at Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu with cold eyes for a long time before he finally nodded unwillingly.

“I hope you can keep your promise. Otherwise, the Chen family will never let you off!”

Chen Zongtian’s expression was fierce.

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out three jade boxes, throwing them at Lin Wudao.

“Brother Ren, take a look inside.”

“Alright.”

Lin Wudao grabbed the three jade boxes and began to open them.

Whoosh!

While Lin Wudao was looking at the treasures in the jade boxes, Yuan Daosheng, who was behind Chen Zongtian, raised his hand.

“Secret technique, Circle Prison! Secret technique, Skyfall! Secret technique, Earth Sinking!”

Yuan Daosheng’s hands formed continuous hand seals, and his target was Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu.

Buzz!

As he moved, a mysterious power instantly enveloped Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu.

However, what shocked Yuan Daosheng was that when his secret techniques enveloped the two, the scene he had expected did not happen.

No matter if it was Circle Prison, Skyfall, or Earth Sinking, none of them had any effect. It was as if his secret techniques were ineffective against Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu.

“This… How could that be?”

Looking at the two who were unharmed, Yuan Daosheng’s heart trembled, and his eyes instantly narrowed.

Hehe!

Just as he was secretly shocked, Lin Wudao let out a strange laugh.

“Yuan Daosheng, don’t waste your energy. The secret techniques and secret skills of your Heavenly Master House have extraordinary magical power, but they’re useless to me. Therefore, 1 advise you not to cause trouble behind my back. If 1 am displeased, I cannot guarantee that you will be able to leave this place alive.”

His cold voice slowly sounded.

He was a temple God, after all, and this was his divine region. If he could not even eliminate this little bit of mortal power, wouldn’t he be disgracing the name of a God?

Just now, Lin Wudao had used the Qingshan Demonic God’s divine might to silently obliterate the power of Yuan Daosheng’s secret techniques, making it impossible for them to display the desired effect.

Seeing this, Yuan Daosheng was extremely fearful. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

At the same time, after witnessing Lin Wudao’s unfathomable methods and strength, Chen Zongtian’s heart was filled with monstrous waves.

At this moment, he was truly afraid.

Thank God he didn’t tamper with the treasures just now and the three jade boxes he gave Lin Wudao were all filled with real treasures. Otherwise, they would’ve probably already suffered a ruthless blow from the latter.

Thinking of this, Chen Zongtian could not help but feel a lingering fear.

Naturally, Lin Wudao could see their fear.

“Alright, these three treasures are not bad. I like them very much. Since we said that we won’t make things difficult for you, we will keep our promise. After all, we are only after treasures.”

Lin Wudao called out to Qin Daofu, and the two of them concealed themselves before silently leaving the third level of the tomb.

Whoosh!

Both Chen Changqing and Chen Zongtian were greatly relieved when they saw the two villains finally leave.

“Sir, where did those two come from? Why didn’t your secret techniques work?” Chen Zongtian took a deep breath and asked.

Hearing this, Yuan Daosheng frowned and shook his head.

“I can’t see through their background either. Those two people are very strange. Their bodies are covered with a strong aura of death. They are either not from the human world or they often deal with the dead. In short, they’re not to be trifled with. Fortunately, they only seek wealth and do not have any other intentions. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to deal with them.”

Yuan Daosheng looked solemn.

He felt that it was extremely troublesome to face Lin Wudao. It felt as if he had great strength but had nowhere to unleash it, which made him extremely aggrieved.

“Sigh, I hope we don’t meet them again in the future,” Chen Zongtian sighed.

After saying that, his gaze swept across Chen Changqing and the others.

“We can’t stay here for long. We have to leave quickly.”

“Yes!”

Everyone bowed in response.

Immediately after, they followed Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng carefully.

However, they did not know that the Mad Daoist had long been waiting outside the tomb..
