A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: The Tomb Raiding Duo

A year quickly passed, during which Wu Hao took Su Qiaoran to the Upper Realm in search of a suitable location for the Wu Family’s base. However, after a long time of searching, Wu Hao had yet to find an appropriate place. Either the land was already claimed, or the layout was unsuitable.

For a strong cultivator like Wu Hao, feng shui was not just an empty concept; it was a genuine consideration, making the layout of a place extremely important to him.

“I almost forgot; back when I was in the Lower Realm, the layout at the Ablaze Forbidden Land was quite good. I’ll need to move the Wu Family down there when we go back,” Wu Hao thought to himself. He recalled the Nine Dragons Worship Mountain layout he had encountered in the Ablaze Forbidden Land, but such a layout would usually be occupied by major forces.

Besides, Wu Hao was not a thief who would inexplicably wipe out entire families.

“Husband, why not just find a random place? Our Wu Family doesn’t need to be so particular,” Su Qiaoran said after hesitating for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao pondered whether to agree. It wasn’t that he couldn’t find good feng shui locations; he simply had high expectations. In fact, the places he had found would be considered quite good even for Immortal Venerable-level forces.

But at that moment, Wu Hao sensed something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Su Qiaoran noticed his expression and curiously asked, “Husband, what’s wrong?”

“Let’s go; I’ll take you to a place,” he replied.

With that, Wu Hao took Su Qiaoran and vanished.

Meanwhile, beneath a great mountain about three hundred units away in the Xuantian Realm, a number of underground passages were concealed. Although these were passages, they were quite prosperous and didn’t resemble ordinary places.

In the tunnels, two figures—a stout man and a robust one—were cautiously making their way through.

“Duan De, isn’t tomb raiding a bit inappropriate?” Wu Yifan hesitated before speaking.

To Wu Yifan’s words, Duan De slapped his chest and replied.

“Big brother, how can we be considered tomb raiders? We are acting on behalf of Heaven! With the people of the Lin Family being so arrogant and overbearing, it stands to reason that their Ancestor isn’t a good person either. What right does someone like that have to rest in peace? Besides, the Lin Family’s Ancestor must have plenty of burial items. If we can get our hands on them, we might just make a fortune!”

As he spoke, Duan De began to chuckle, as if he had thought of something amusing.

Seeing this, Wu Yifan could only sigh and follow along.

Not long ago, Wu Yifan had told Li Pangtian that the speed of cultivation in the Ancient Desolation Holy Land would be significantly slower, so he requested to go out and train. Naturally, Li Pangtian couldn’t refuse such a request, so he agreed and secretly dispatched a protector at the Intermediate Stage of the Immortal Emperor realm to watch over Wu Yifan.

Wu Yifan, of course, was unaware of this.

The protector, named Li Zhengran, shook his head upon seeing Wu Yifan’s and Duan De’s antics, contemplating whether he should eliminate Duan De to prevent him from leading their Holy Son astray. He was aware of the grievances between the Holy Son and Duan De with the Lin Family, specifically how Wu Yifan and Duan De had hunted a peak Golden Immortal-level Demon Beast (in reality, it was mostly Wu Yifan doing the work, while Duan De merely cheered him on).

Later, the Lin Family’s young master, Lin Xukun, had jumped out, declaring forcefully that he had his eye on the Demon Beast first. Due to this being a training outing, Wu Yifan and Duan De did not reveal their identities.

As for the Lin Family, they were considered a powerful force in the Upper Realm, with several Immortal Venerables stationed within, which is why Wu Yifan and Duan De didn’t confront them directly. However, this did not stop them from seeking revenge, so at Duan De’s suggestion, they had set their sights on the tomb of a deceased Ancestor of the Lin Family, expecting there to be plenty of valuable burial items.

“However, Duan De truly has some skills. The tomb of the Lin Family Ancestor was filled with numerous restrictions, yet he managed to avoid them all,” Li Zhengran remarked in surprise, although he did not intervene.

It surprised him that the young master of the Lin Family would dare to treat their Holy Son this way. In his opinion, it was already a path to death; however, since it was related to the Holy Son, and since the Holy Son hadn’t spoken up, he had refrained from destroying the Lin Family.

Though there were many Immortal Venerables, they were merely slightly more powerful ants in the face of the Immortal Emperors.

Thus, under Duan De’s lead, Wu Yifan bypassed a host of restrictions as they approached the Lin Family Ancestor’s tomb.

Meanwhile, Wu Hao had also brought Su Qiaoran to this location.

At first glance, Su Qiaoran spotted Wu Yifan and exclaimed in surprise, “Is that Yifan?””What is he doing now?”

“Nothing much, just tomb raiding.”

Wu Hao shrugged nonchalantly, but this made Su Qiaoran’s expression change slightly.

After all, as someone from the Wu Family, how could she allow such a bad habit as tomb raiding to tarnish their reputation? Yet, since Wu Hao was already aware of the circumstances, he didn’t pay it much mind.

Su Qiaoran, upon hearing the reason behind it, couldn’t help but stamp her foot in anger.

“How could that young master of the Lin Family act so tyrannically? Yifan is doing the right thing. If it were me, I would have wiped out the Lin Family long ago.”

“Do you have that kind of strength?”

“Isn’t there you?”

Su Qiaoran turned to Wu Hao, her expression serious as she spoke. Over this period, she had recognized Wu Hao’s strength. Even if Wu Hao told her that even Immortal Emperors were no match for him, she would believe it without hesitation.

“But as the Holy Son of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land, can they really let Yifan go out alone without any concerns?”

Su Qiaoran thought of something else and complained slightly.

Wu Hao had an odd look on his face. He was well aware of Wu Yifan’s status within the Ancient Desolation Holy Land, so he naturally knew they would have arranged protectors for him.

After arriving here, Wu Hao sensed a powerful aura hidden not far away; it was likely Wu Yifan’s protector. However, the other party had not detected Wu Hao’s presence, so he had no intention of revealing himself.

Shifting his gaze away from the protector, Wu Hao focused on Duan De, who was beside Wu Yifan, a playful expression appearing on his face.

“I didn’t expect this kid to actually have an artifact on him. I might as well borrow it for a while; it should help me find a suitable location for the Wu Family.”

Meanwhile, Duan De suddenly shivered, as if he had been fixated upon by something terrifying.

But he quickly shook his head. He had an artifact for protection, and besides, standing next to him was the Holy Son of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land. Even if the Lin Family discovered them, they wouldn’t dare to confront them.

After all, while the Lin Family was powerful, in the presence of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land, they were hardly even a nuisance.

“As long as we can get the burial items of the Lin Family’s Ancestor, it would not only annoy the Lin Family but also yield significant profits. Why not?”

With that thought in mind, Duan De and Wu Yifan approached the tomb of the Lin Family Ancestor.
