A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Playing With Fire

After arriving at the tomb of the Lin Family Ancestor, Wu Yifan intended to directly open the coffin of the Lin Family Ancestor, but he was stopped by Duan De. Seeing Wu Yifan’s confused expression, Duan De quickly spoke with an unmistakably serious demeanor.

“Based on my years of experience in tomb raiding, the coffin of the Lin Family Ancestor must have some restrictions. If we open it, the Lin Family will likely receive news, and we might find it difficult to escape.”

“What do you plan to do then?” Wu Yifan asked curiously. He excelled at fighting, but breaking restrictions was not his forte; he’d rather enter combat.

Hearing this, Duan De became serious and, with a sly smile, said, “To be honest, I obtained a treasure during my time wandering in the cultivation world that can evade restrictions and block certain traps, but it has a time limit. So, after I deactivate the restrictions inside the coffin, you—Holy Son—should open the coffin, quickly take the treasures inside, and then I will replace the coffin to avoid alerting the Lin Family. Of course, they will eventually find out; it’s just a matter of time. After we obtain the burial items of the Lin Family Ancestor, we must leave here as quickly as possible.”

Wu Yifan nodded in agreement.

Then he watched as Duan De took out a blue jewel from his Storage Ring. The next moment, he activated the jewel, causing it to float above the coffin of the Lin Family Ancestor. A stream of blue energy emanated from the jewel and merged into the coffin.

“Now, Holy Son!” Duan De prompted, and Wu Yifan quickly took action, suddenly lifting the lid of the coffin of the Lin Family Ancestor.

To become the Lin Family Ancestor, one must not be ordinary; this Ancestor had reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor level. He had only been buried here due to an unfortunate accident.

When the lid was opened, an incredibly lifelike corpse along with a large number of high-quality Immortal Crystals and five-grade Immortal King artifacts appeared before Wu Yifan. Without any hesitation, he immediately stored the Immortal Crystals and Immortal King artifacts into his Storage Ring.

Once Wu Yifan had done all of this, Duan De gave Wu Yifan a look. As Duan De retrieved the jewel, they rushed toward the exit of the tomb.

“Interesting, this Duan De is quite clever. That jewel is something I can’t see through either. But whatever, it’s a junior’s possession; since it belongs to the Holy Son, I won’t stoop so low as to snatch a junior’s treasure.” Li Zhengran’s expression shifted slightly upon seeing Duan De’s jewel, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed the thought of seizing it.

Although that jewel was indeed remarkable, it wasn’t particularly useful to him, after all, he was a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, and very few in the Upper Realm could contend with him.

Upon seeing the jewel Duan De had produced, Wu Hao’s expression also slightly changed. He detected a similar aura to the Ablaze Mystic Pearl from Duan De’s jewel, meaning that the one in Duan De’s hand was at least an artifact level.

“I need to find a way to get my hands on it. Moreover, that jewel not only has the ability to break through restrictions but also has the effect of feng shui surveying. If I could obtain it, I would be able to find a suitable location directly.”

Wu Hao thought to himself.

On the other side, about two minutes after Wu Yifan and Duan De left, the head of the Lin Family, Lin Tian’en, changed his expression and angrily stood up.

“This is bad, the Ancestor’s tomb has been robbed!”

As Lin Tian’en’s words fell, several powerful Immortal Sovereigns from the Lin Family rushed toward the tomb of their Ancestor.

As for Wu Yifan and Duan De, they arrived at the tomb, which felt slightly lacking, but that didn’t mean their speed was slow. Especially Duan De, whose speed was so fast that it even made Wu Yifan feel bewildered.

Although he was merely a Mortal World Immortal, his escape speed rivaled that of a Golden Immortal.

Wu Yifan, on the other hand, possessed True Immortal-level cultivation, and due to his powerful foundation, his speed surpassed even that of the peak Golden Immortals.

After the two of them had left a significant distance from the Lin Family Ancestor’s tomb, they could still sense the furious aura emanating from it, causing them both to shiver. If they had stayed there, who knows what those crazy Lin Family members would have done to them.

“Holy Son, although your status is a bit higher, this time I basically led the way, so the items we obtained should be split evenly, right?” Duan De looked at Wu Yifan with eyes full of expectation and excitement.

Those were Immortal King artifacts! If they could sell them, they could at least secure resources for reaching Golden Immortal level, if not even Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Wu Yifan naturally had no objections, as he wasn’t particularly concerned about such things himself.

However, just as Duan De intended to take the loot from Wu Yifan, he noticed something and quickly shielded Wu Yifan behind him, his expression becoming extremely serious as he looked forward.

Seeing Duan De’s reaction, Wu Yifan’s heart also sank, and he even prepared for a fight. But upon seeing the two figures ahead, he finally relaxed.

“Be careful, Holy Son. These two are very strong. They should be someone sent from the Lin Family. I didn’t expect the Lin Family to find us so quickly,” Duan De said with a grave expression. The moment he saw Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran, he realized he couldn’t see through them at all, which meant that Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran were at least Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

He hadn’t anticipated making such a big mistake this time.

Meanwhile, hiding nearby, Li Zhengran was also astonished upon seeing Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran appear suddenly.

He had completely failed to notice their presence.

“How is this possible? I’m at mid-stage Immortal Emperor; even at late-stage Immortal Emperor, they shouldn’t be able to be completely undetected nearby, right?”

Li Zhengran was shocked beyond belief. Just as he was contemplating whether to step in to protect the Holy Son, he didn’t expect Wu Yifan to speak up directly.

“Ancestor, what are you doing here?”

“Ancestor?”

Upon hearing Wu Yifan’s words, Duan De and Li Zhengran were filled with disbelief; it was clear they had not anticipated that the powerful figure in front of them was Wu Yifan’s Ancestor.

During his time in the Xuantian Realm, Li Zhengran hadn’t followed Li Pangtian to the Wu Family, so he naturally had no idea that the Wu Hao standing before him was the Holy Son’s Ancestor.

Once he realized that Wu Hao was the Holy Son’s Ancestor, Li Zhengran finally sighed in relief; otherwise, he would have had to alert his Holy Lord.

“Well, I’m here with Qiaoran to search for a base for our Wu Family in the Upper Realm,” Wu Hao nodded and then revealed his purpose.

Hearing this, Wu Yifan’s eyes lit up. Based on what the Ancestor had said, didn’t that mean Zi Xin and Dong’er would soon be ascending to the Upper Realm as well?

Thinking of this, Wu Yifan suddenly became interested and said earnestly, “Ancestor, you must be here for this matter as well. Leave it to me; I will definitely find a suitable place for our Wu Family!”
