"He...he...he is...the Marquis of Dingshan..." Hearing the conversation between Yao Lao and Wang Han, Ran Ning felt incredibly lucky. The long-cherished wish of her ancestors, which they had strived for for a thousand years, had finally been fulfilled in her generation, and she had even found the Marquis of Dingshan himself. Even more fortunate was that, over a thousand years, through dozens of generations, how many people could remain true to their original aspirations or change their ways? She didn't know if her ancestors had forgotten or changed their ways, but she certainly had. And even more fortunate was that she hadn't revealed her true thoughts just now, otherwise she probably would have been lying on the ground with them.
"Marquis Dingshan." Anna looked at Wang Han in disbelief, never expecting that Wang Han was the Marquis Dingshan they had been searching for, and that he was alive.
After Wang Han opened the Divine Might Space and put the corpses and Death Gods into it, he said to Ran Ning, Anna, and Zhao Ya, "Don't tell anyone that I am the Marquis of Dingshan for now."
"Yes, my lord," Zhao Ya replied immediately.
"Yes, my lord," Ran Ning quickly echoed.
"Yes, my lord," Anna replied after a moment's hesitation.
"Don't call me 'Lord' or 'Marquis of Dingshan' when there are other people around. I don't want anyone to know my identity yet," Wang Han said, before flying towards the hotel.
"Never call the lord by his given name." Zhao Ya glanced at the current Ran Ning, then followed Wang Han towards the hotel.
Flames erupted from Anna's feet, and she quickly followed.
"Then what should we call them?" The current Ran Ning watched the two fly away and could only run away on foot in desperation.
——————————————
"What's going on?" Wang Hanfei arrived at the hotel and found that martial artists and people with special abilities were constantly arriving outside. There were many powerful individuals gathered in the hotel lobby. Li Sisi and her brother were tied up in the center of the lobby along with more than ten men and women.
“They are the people I brought,” Zhao Ya said as she approached Wang Han.
"Let's see what they're up to first," Wang Han said, landing first and standing at the back of the crowd.
"I believe everyone here has already received the news." In the middle of the hall, in front of Li Sisi and the others, a young man said excitedly, "But I'd like to confirm it for you all again."
The young man pointed to Li Sisi and the others who were tied up and said, "These people are all tomb keepers. They have guarded the ancient tomb for generations, living a secluded life in the deep mountains to prevent the news of the tomb from being leaked. Although we did not find out who they were guarding the tomb for, they have been guarding the tomb for thousands of years. We can speculate..."
A middle-aged man interrupted the young man. "You just need to tell us where the tomb is? Is it really the tomb of the Marquis of Dingshan?"
“Don’t worry, I’ve already used mental illusion to ask. These people don’t know who they’re guarding the tomb for, they don’t know where the tomb is, and they don’t even know the name of the place they live in. The only thing they know is that they are all tomb keepers, the whole village is, and they’ve been guarding the tomb for over a thousand years. They’re really cautious; they don’t even know the approximate time they’ve been guarding it.” The young man said with a smile, “But since the whole village is a tomb keeper, it’s certain that the tomb is near their village. There must be someone in their village who knows where the tomb is and whose tomb they’re guarding. The most likely people to know are the old man Zhao and the old man Yao they’re talking about.”
One of the women said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off immediately for their village and find the cemetery."
“If we could just go like this, I wouldn’t have invited everyone; I would have gone alone long ago.” The young man shook his head and said, “The hundreds of people in their village are almost all martial artists and ability users, and most of them are at the town level, with more than a dozen at the city level. The old man Zhao and the old man Yao they mentioned are people who have lived for more than a thousand years, and are very likely at the national level. Moreover, the tomb must be full of traps and mechanisms. If we go there with our current manpower and strength, it would be no different from sending ourselves to our deaths. With such experts guarding the tomb, the tomb owner is very likely to be the legendary Marquis Dingshan.”
"You mean we have to wait for more people to come?" The middle-aged man frowned. He didn't want that. The more people there were, the less profit they would make. The relics and burial objects of Marquis Dingshan were all invaluable treasures. Just that sealed medicinal herb alone would make many people fight tooth and nail for it. And who knows how many treasures from before that era are buried in the tombs.
“That’s right, our current strength is not enough.” The young man nodded.
"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be an excess of power," the middle-aged man said. Clearly, he still didn't want too many people involved to share the spoils.
"No, we all share the same goal: to find the tomb of Marquis Dingshan and obtain his corpse to fight against the aliens," the young man said. "As for me, all I want is a way to become a powerful deity, and I believe that's what many of you here also desire."
"When do we set off?" an old man asked.
"Elder, we will depart in three days," the young man said respectfully. "In three days, those who are meant to come will arrive."
"Alright, then we'll wait three days." The man referred to as the Elder nodded and turned to walk towards his hotel room.
Seeing that the old man called Guo Lao had made his stance clear, the others stopped opposing and all chose to stay at the hotel. Clearly, this old man, known as Guo Lao, had great prestige.
The young man and his men brought Li Sisi and the others back to their room, intending to keep them under guard.
After the people in the hall dispersed, Wang Han instructed, "Zhao Ya, you go back first. I will rescue the person. Afterwards, I want to play with them for a while. Ran Ning, go and collect the remains of powerful people for me, the more the better."
