We have already agreed on the terms for your participation, and they will be handed over to you afterwards.
This is the information I had my men gather about the owner of this tomb; you may take a look.
As he spoke, the PowerPoint presentation on the projection screen began, displaying various materials collected by Prince Duan.
The tomb that Prince Duan and his men excavated was the royal tomb of a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period.
This vassal state was named You. Among the eight hundred vassal states, it was one of the lesser-known ones. It was destroyed long ago, so its reputation was not prominent.
The tomb belongs to King Youli, the last ruler of the You Kingdom. Historical records describe him as cruel and tyrannical, causing immense suffering to the people of You, making him a typical example of a tyrannical ruler.
However, there are some interesting things in the records. King Youli claimed that he had seen immortals and obtained the method to become an immortal from them.
From then on, King Youli began to extensively hunt down the people of You Kingdom, build a mausoleum for him, refine elixirs for him, and even take them away to do unknown things. In short, everything was done in preparation for his ascension to immortality.

His actions, instead of bringing him to immortality, plunged his country into chaos and misery, ultimately leading to attacks from surrounding states and his eventual destruction.
Strangely, historical records do not mention his death, but say that after he sealed himself in a mausoleum, the entire mausoleum disappeared.
It wasn't until recently that the tomb of King Youli was unearthed by the tomb raiders under Prince Duan.
The group quickly skimmed through the historical records and, after confirming there were no issues, headed straight for the tomb of King Youli.
The tomb of King Youli was discovered on a small, desolate hill in the wilderness, a place that had long been sealed off by Prince Duan's men.
The entire top of the hill was blasted flat, revealing a man-made tunnel in the center.
After arranging for someone to stay outside, Wei Xingyuan followed behind, carefully stepping into the passage with the others.
No one said anything about Wei Xingyuan's actions.
They were all paid to help Wei Xingyuan explore this small world, so it's not a problem for them to be careful.
On the contrary, if Wei Xingyuan had the ability to explore this world on his own, he wouldn't need them.
A dark doorway appeared ahead, and various strange symbols, unlike any kind of writing, could be vaguely seen on the dismantled door panel.
The group exchanged glances, their bodies protected by various powers, and stepped directly into it.
Just like entering the cycle of reincarnation normally, everyone's vision was enveloped by a thick black mist.
However, in just a moment, everyone found themselves in a tomb chamber.
A putrid, foul stench wafted over, and everyone looked around, their expressions subtly changing.
Although this is a tomb, it is actually more like a burial pit.
It was filled with bones, piled up layer upon layer, and no one knew how deep it was.
Du Xiaoqiang exclaimed, "This guy killed so many people just to become an immortal? Is he trying to become an immortal or a demon?"
Wei Xingyuan glanced around and said, "These people were probably not killed by him in order to become an immortal. They were probably the craftsmen and slaves who participated in the construction of this tomb."
The tomb of King Youli is not merely a tomb; it is also a 'heavenly palace' he built in order to ascend to immortality.
Therefore, before he truly became an immortal, this place had to be kept absolutely secret; anyone who knew about it could not leave alive.
The group proceeded along the only passage among the skeletons, and there were various murals around the tomb.
Some of the paintings depict King Youli's great achievements in his youth, such as conquering various regions.
Some of them even depicted King Youli being taught the method of becoming an immortal by a celestial being.
But strangely, the immortal's body was not human, but a very distorted image, depicted with countless twisted lines, and it was unusually huge.
Most of the murals in the cave are realistic, so when an abstract mural like this appears, no one really knows what it means.
Just then, Yang Chengmeng, who was walking at the front of the crowd, stopped.
Wei Xingyuan asked in surprise, "Brother Yang, what's wrong? Did you sense something was amiss?"
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "It's not that I sensed it, it's that I saw it."
There were six of us who came in, but why are there seven shadows now?
Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, everyone present subconsciously looked down at their feet, and then felt a chill run down their spines.
