When the massive Stone Gate closed, He Yongguang and the others inside wore expressions of despair.
They never imagined that Liu Zixuan wouldn't demand any benefits at all!
But thinking it over, it made sense. If the Patriarch of the He Family died here, the He Family would immediately fall into chaos, and then, given Liu Zixuan's capabilities, he could easily contend with the He Family.
Outside, everyone felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
After fighting the He Family for so long, this time was definitely the most satisfying!
Huang Youcai and the others were particularly impressed with Liu Zixuan for digging such a big trap for the He Family!
The door shut tightly with a bang.
Huang Youcai laughed, "Seeing He Yongguang's face of despair, I can't help but feel a sense of excitement!"
"Hahaha," everyone around laughed.
But Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Save the excitement for later. Let's get the things ready and have Liu Mazi and the others take them to the clinic."
"What about us? What are we doing here?" Huang Youcai asked in confusion.
"In desperate situations, people either wait for death or they erupt. He Yongguang, as the Patriarch of the He Family, and with those two sinister characters beside him, they won't wait for death," Liu Zixuan explained.
"But the door is tightly closed and can't be opened from the inside," Huang Youcai said, puzzled.
Liu Zixuan handed out cigarettes, lighting one for himself as he sat to the side.
"It can't be opened normally, but it can be forced open. They may not have tools, but they have those guys!"
"Those guys? Who?" someone asked.
"You might not have noticed."
Liu Zixuan explained, "As He Yongguang and his crew entered, three people looked strange, their pupils were dilated, eyes lifeless, moving with stiff bodies, like walking corpses!"
"Are they the ones poisoned with mercury powder before?"
"That's right, I was curious before. Deeply poisoned with mercury powder, there's almost no chance of survival. Even with my medical skill, I couldn't cure them. But previously He Yuan told me that Yin Qiao Yang Lu cured them!"
At this point, Liu Zixuan shifted the conversation, "From then on, I wondered how they were cured. Seeing it with my own eyes today, it's not a cure; it's Yin Qiao Yang Lu controlling them with poison!"
"You mean they can control dead people?" Huang Youcai and the others were shocked.
"Ordinary people may not be able to, but Yin Qiao Yang Lu can because their master often does such experiments. Within twelve hours after death, the brain cortex remains active. They use medicine to keep the bodies from decaying, then control them with something similar to Gu Poison."
"These people have no thoughts, no consciousness, just mechanical actions, and their bodies are quite hard. Using them as tools to open this door isn't that difficult!"
"What if they come out and use these people to fight us? Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?" Huang Youcai asked, incredulous.
Liu Zixuan shook his head, "The effect of that kind of drug is short-lived. By the time they break through, it'll be over. Gouzi inside should already be dead, so He Yongguang is left with just Yin Qiao Yang Lu and Scorpion."
"Once they come out, we will properly teach them how to behave!"
Liu Zixuan was right, inside, after a few minutes of despair, Yin Qiao Yang Lu suddenly remembered the strange figures beside them and ordered them to find a breakthrough point around the main door.
After all, they also engaged in Poison Technique and Medical Skill, knowing how to rot stone or soil!
With combined efforts, they prepared to break through.
About an hour later, there were thumping sounds from the position beside the main door.
Liu Zixuan smiled, "They're coming out. You guys follow me closely. Yin Qiao Yang Lu excels at poison, I'll block their first poison, then you guys step forward and control them. Don't worry, even if you get poisoned, I can cure you!"
"Don't worry, Brother Zixuan, we're not afraid of dying!" Huang Youcai and the others chimed in unison.
Bam!
A large hole broke through the door. The first to appear were the dead controlled by poison, but now their arms were broken, and even their heads had multiple holes.
After breaking through, they fell to the side, motionless.
Next, He Yongguang and his group emerged.
Most of them were covered in dust, looking extremely disheveled!
"Tsk tsk, where's that cocky attitude from before?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.
He Yongguang spat to the side, cursing viciously, "Liu Zixuan, you've completely infuriated me!"
"How dare you! Is that how you speak to your grandfather!"
Liu Zixuan cursed back immediately, "Weren't you just kneeling and calling me Grandpa? Now you threaten me?"
"You!" He Yongguang's face turned red suddenly.
Yin Qiao whispered to him, "Patriarch He, don't tangle with him. Since we entered this tomb, we've been led by Liu Zixuan. Since he's waiting for us here, he must have more tricks up his sleeve. We have fewer people now; we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's find a way to leave first!"
He Yongguang looked up at Yin Qiao, frowning. Yin Qiao's words made sense, but as the Patriarch of the He Family, being repeatedly thwarted by Liu Zixuan made him feel a deep sense of unwillingness!
He really wanted to call everyone over and flatten Lingxiu Village immediately!
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Liu Zixuan, "Don't be complacent, an Ancient Tomb can't trap us, and you few can't either!"
"I didn't intend to trap you."
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "And I'll even let you go back alive. Without entirely resolving some things, even if you wanted to die, I wouldn't let it be easy!"
Before entering this tomb, Liu Zixuan indeed intended to kill He Yongguang and his men here.
But since reading the note left by his beautiful master, he changed his mind.
She mentioned that this tomb was just the beginning and there were six more like it. The He Family's rapid entry here and their urgency indicated they knew something hidden.
He needed to uncover this secret from the He Family, to understand the true significance of this tomb, and perhaps learn about the other similar existences!
Listening to Liu Zixuan, He Yongguang frowned. Just as he was about to discuss strategies with Yin Qiao Yang Lu, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his knees spreading through his body.
He felt his legs go weak and knelt on the ground, unable to rise no matter how he struggled.
"What... what did you do to me!" He Yongguang's face twisted in agony as he looked at Liu Zixuan and roared!
"Just a little punishment, from now on you'll always kneel when speaking to me!" Liu Zixuan said coldly.
