Chapter 245: Mutton Soup While Old Qian spoke off to the side, I slung my gun over my shoulder and walked up to a dried corpse. It was the first cross-legged corpse at the far end of the hall, dressed in a gold-embroidered robe with a crown on its head. A jade tablet lay by its feet, inscribed: "Guide to the Underworld, Pass for Clearance." In ancient times, entering a city required a clearance document or travel permit, and I figured this was likely one of those. Carved on the back of the tablet were…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 246: Imminent Disaster After thinking it over for a moment, I decided we couldn't let Old Qian and Han Zhuo keep eating like this. Even if it were real mutton, eating like this would definitely cause problems. I quickly conferred with He Yu, and we decided to use the hemp rope in the shop to tie up the two crazed men first. He Yu would stay behind in the shop to keep an eye on them while I scouted the nearby area to see if there were any other discoveries. Old Qian and Han Zhuo's eyes were…

- Chapter 232: The Chess Piece He Yu was clearly caught off guard by my words, because I hadn't asked a normal question like I usually did. He threw an arm around my shoulders. "Hey now, did you not hear me? Don't be mad. Didn't I just apologize? I promise, from now on, I'll tell you everything first." My gaze didn't waver, and I didn't move an inch. I kept staring at him, my voice flat. "It's not that. It's something else." The smile on He Yu's face instantly froze. Maintaining a calm…

- Chapter 233: A Misjudgment Too much information flooded my brain all at once, making me feel as though someone were clutching my throat, leaving me unable to catch my breath. As I was thinking it over, He Yu suddenly pulled back the curtain and poked his head in. "Come out and look! Something's happening on the other side!" With that, he hurried off to get the horses. Seeing his serious expression, Chen Canghai and I knew he wasn't joking, so I quickly instructed Chen Canghai, "Old Qian and Kuba…

- Chapter 234: Blasting the Stone The camp was already in total chaos. We sprinted straight along the shortest path, passing workers from various factions running back and forth. Without exception, none of them had the time or inclination to pay us any attention. I sprinted all the way to the stone gate. The interior was shrouded in sand and dust kicked up from the ground, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. I had run so fast that I almost caught a stitch in my side. I bent over to…

- Chapter 235: Young Master Gan I watched the workers moving in and out with the explosives. Following my instructions, they stacked the charges in three rows. This first blast was essentially testing the waters for everyone, as no one knew how heavy or thick this Thousand-Jin Stone really was. Based on my intuition, it was nearly impossible for three rows of explosives to blast through a solid Thousand-Jin Stone, but for the safety of those trapped inside, I still decided to start with a small…

- Chapter 236: The Threatened Five Masters Liu Wan clearly didn't understand why I was speaking with such sarcasm and mockery. Fourth Brother's relationship with her was extraordinary, but that didn't mean I had to follow their decisions blindly. I understood the situation here better than anyone. When everyone had been trapped behind the Thousand-Jin Stone, only a few people outside had seemed genuinely anxious. From that, I deduced that most of them were merely maintaining a facade of cooperation while…

- Chapter 237: The Earth Trembles Since Liu Wan had issued her guest expulsion order, I had no choice but to wander out of her tent. It was getting late, but I didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy. Figuring that going back now would only disturb Old Qian and the others' rest, I took a stroll over to Fourth Brother's tent. He had already turned in, but he was clearly sleeping fitfully. I lingered outside for a moment, swiped a wind lantern hanging from some random tent, and slowly meandered away to find a…
