In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

After all, besides Zhang Yuan, most of the direct female members of the Zhang family had also disappeared overnight. Huang Rong, Master Mingchen, Murong Jiu, and Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Inside the Red Mansion, Manager Feng, who was originally in charge, also mysteriously disappeared.

While everyone was speculating, the imperial court did not respond. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the Zhang family had already consulted the imperial court.

Even the emperor couldn't stop people from moving their ancestral graves.

Moreover, the Zhang family hasn't broken any laws; at most, the Six Doors (a government agency) will have to investigate.

Unfortunately, once they left Bianjing city, they only found a few horses at a villa in the suburbs.

"Zhang family?"

The mysterious disappearance of the Zhang family has caused a shock to the entire martial arts world no less than the shock they felt during their preparations for the final battle against the Ancient Sword Soul.

The main problem is that the Zhang family has too many vested interests involved.

A single hair can affect the whole situation, let alone the interests of the majority.

Amidst the widespread discussion and speculation throughout Kyushu, people were guessing what had happened to the Zhang family.

Soon, when everyone learned that the Zhang family had only moved their ancestral graves, the various factions were somewhat taken aback.

The people who believe in Feng Shui the most are none other than businessmen!

Now that the Zhang family is the richest family in the Song Dynasty, are they planning to seek even more?

While everyone was wondering, Zhang Xiaoshan and his family had already arrived at Kunlun Mountain seven days later.

In seven days, the search area they focused on was limited to the territory of the Song Dynasty.

But who knew that the Zhang family had so many experts, and the most skilled ones who went there were all at the highest level of mastery, and they traveled day and night.

Zhang Xiaoshan's chosen mode of transportation for this trip is a paraglider.

It was modified from four dragon wings, one large and three small.

The large dragon wing can carry three people, and is managed by Zhang Yuan and two others; the three small dragon wings, each modified paraglider, can carry two people, which perfectly meets the basic needs.

When you're tired, even a single pill like the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill or the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill will only provide a recovery time of about half an hour.

With a break every two days, each break lasting no more than three hours.

Traveling at least three or four thousand miles a day, from the far east to the far west, seven days is considered incredibly fast.

Therefore, no one would have imagined that the Zhang family would move their ancestral graves to the Kunlun Mountains.

The dragon vein that the Zhang family found was the very place of spiritual energy that Zhang Xiaoshan had discovered at the bottom of the abyss valley—a place where a hidden dragon dwells in the abyss, or in other words, a dragon hidden in the abyss.

A dragon lies hidden in the abyss; when it soars, it will surely reach the heavens!

This is not a period of decline for the Zhang family, but rather a time when they are out of power and waiting for the right moment to strike.

Similar to the Zhang family's current situation, the Zhang family were businessmen who had always remained behind the scenes.

Once it takes flight, it will surely reign supreme in the heavens!

Even though Zhang Yuan had no ambition, he was extremely pleased.

"Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang!"

Li Buyi, a renowned feng shui master.

Li Buyi wouldn't act rashly, but it depended on who invited him to come out of seclusion.

Li Buyi did not refuse the Zhang family's invitation. In feng shui, even being associated with the Zhang family's good fortune was a great honor, comparable to the aura of an emperor.

Moreover, the person who invited him was none other than the world's number one tomb raider—Fa Qiu Tian Guan!

Li Buyi was also very shocked by this.

They knew the Zhang family wasn't easily fooled; Lei Laowu was a master tomb raider, and his skill in finding auspicious burial sites was beyond question.

The Zhang family didn't use the other party because of their status—

Master of tomb raiding.

As for the issue of trust, Li Buyi knew from Lei Laowu's personal supervision that the Zhang family absolutely trusted Lei Laowu; it was just that Lei Laowu wouldn't take action.

Moreover, after arriving at the depths of Kunlun Mountain, he discovered that the Zhang family's relocated burial site was not simple.

The dragon hides in the abyss; this is the dragon vein!

Li Buyi was even more incredulous when he learned that the Zhang family was going to use the Dragon-Subduing Divine Wood to suppress the dragon vein.

This is the prelude to the emergence of a dragon.

"Master, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, everything is ready."

Li Buyi's expression was respectful, without any hint of arrogance.

With the land where dragons reside, and the Dragon-Subduing Divine Tree held in the hands of the tall man in black, it's highly likely that a true dragon will emerge from the Zhang family within three generations.

The Zhang family has performed this meritorious deed, and with the dragon's aura bestowed upon them, as long as the Zhang family doesn't bring about their own downfall, everything will be the will of Heaven.

"Sorry to trouble you, Master."

"No trouble at all. Here, Li has also benefited from the Zhang family's good fortune and gained many opportunities."

Like thousand-year-old peaches of immortality, Zhang has eaten quite a few.

Li Buyi knew that the thousand-year-old peach was a treasure, and he considered this a blessing in disguise.

If he hadn't helped the Zhang family with acupressure, they wouldn't have been able to come here and eat this legendary rare delicacy that was only available on Zhang Zhenren's birthday.

Although the thousand-year-old peaches of immortality cannot enhance one's cultivation level, just the ones he ate were enough to extend his life by ten years.

This feedback made Li Buyi even more attentive.

For a prominent family like the Zhang family, finding the right burial site and its auspicious location would bring good fortune and blessings.

Ordinary people don't believe in these things, but they are professionals in this field, which is why Li Buyi takes them very seriously.

At this time, Huang Rong and the other eight women, as Zhang Xiaoshan's confidantes, were able to come here, which represented a kind of affirmation of their status.

Besides Huang Rong as the principal wife, the other two wives on the same level are Manager Feng and Murong Jiu.

Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Lianxing watched from afar, as they were local overlords and disdained to get involved; Master Mingchen, a monk, chanted Buddhist scriptures with Juexin and Juezhi on the side; Liusheng Piaoxu stood to one side like a warrior, the only one present carrying a weapon.

Upon seeing this, Li Buyi's expression became inscrutable.

Because he knew one thing: dragons are inherently powerful, and this young master Zhang's style was as unpredictable as a dragon.

Without a doubt, the dragon that emerged from the Zhang family is this one.

Chapter 349 Strengthening the Dragon-Subduing Divine Wood

"Young master, this is the dragon's lair, a place where winds gather!"

In the search for dragon veins and their acupoints, the dragon's lair is naturally the core of the dragon vein.

The place where the wind is hidden is a natural karst cave where the wind is hidden and the water is heard.

At this time, the cave had been transformed into an underground palace, which was built by Lei Laowu with the help of hundreds of villains he captured from the Valley of Villains, taking half a month to complete.

Xingxiu Sea may not have many other things, but it has a lot of bad people, which is why Lei Laowu is extremely ruthless.

In addition, there were ten skilled craftsmen, and Lei Laowu gave each of them a thousand taels of gold.

Those last few people were all taken care of by Lei Laowu yesterday.

This is an era where human life is worthless.

Moreover, a thousand taels of gold is an absolute fortune.

As for ruthlessness?

To know what Lei Laowu's profession is, he is the chief bodyguard of the tomb raiding industry—the Heavenly Official of Tomb Raiders.

For such a ruthless person, killing is commonplace.

After all, disputes over the distribution of loot during tomb raiding are common. How could a group of people who risk their lives not have a lot of lives on their hands?

Even after Zhang Xiaoshan found out, he didn't say anything.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the Zhang family. He has no right to blame Lei Laowu, and if he had a choice, he would choose Lei Laowu's approach.

This must never be leaked!

A thousand taels of gold is enough to erase this grudge.

In this era, human life is undoubtedly the least valuable thing.

"father!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan led the way into the underground palace.

Passing through what appeared to be a narrow passageway, we entered a quiet and spacious cave, with a wide, well-maintained stone path in the middle and small streams flowing gently along the railings on both sides.

At the end of the stone path was a vast, empty, and secluded gate.

Beside it are two stone gates carved from mountain rocks, each five zhang high, two zhang wide, and eight chi thick.

It is engraved with all sorts of exotic flowers and beasts; it would probably take several years to complete.

But this only lasted five days.

First, apply fossilizing agent to the surface of the boulder, then use a top-notch carving knife.

With a hefty sum of money, it was completed in just five days.

The reason it wasn't installed is that the stone gate project was too massive, and there was no possibility of it being recarved a second time in a short period of time.

If we make a mistake, we'll have to find materials outside, and given their enormous size, they simply can't be transported in.

Therefore, Lei Laowu was left here, waiting for Zhang Xiaoshan to make a move.

Such massive rocks can only be loaded and unloaded by warriors in bronze armor.

"Come to my door!"

Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly let out a soft shout, and two enormous figures, each nine feet (three meters) tall, appeared from the side.

To Li Buyi's astonishment, the two bronze-armored warriors gently tapped the stone gate with their toes, and the stone statues detached directly from the mountain. Then, to everyone's amazement, they slowly lifted the stone gate, which weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds, and installed it on the doorway.

Perfect fit!

A mysterious gate, five zhang high and four zhang wide, was thus completed.

Long! Long! Long···

If the strength of the bronze-armored warriors terrified Li Buyi, then the power with which Zhang Yuan pushed open the stone door with his bare hands shocked him.

The patriarch of the Zhang family, who was rumored to be unskilled in martial arts, was clearly a top-level martial arts master.

Moreover, he was practicing external martial arts. He was no ordinary person; he was a top expert. Naturally, he could tell that Zhang Yuan was using external martial arts.

At least at the peak level of external martial arts!

"Master Zhang has great strength!"

"This is a self-defense technique that Shan'er taught me. As I practiced it, my body got fatter and fatter, but my progress was not slow!"

puff!

Upon hearing this, all the women couldn't help but laugh, and then bowed to Zhang Yuan in apology.

Just kidding, this is my father-in-law!

It was extremely disrespectful for these younger generations to suddenly laugh at them.

Li Buyi's lips twitched as he looked at Zhang Yuan's obese body and gradually understood everything.

Zhang Yuan must have cultivated a kind of external martial arts technique similar to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. Generally, the cultivation of external martial arts requires being tempered like steel through countless hammerings, but Zhang Yuan obviously could not have endured such hardship.

However, this external martial art was of such a high level that it has become what it is now.

The defense is there, but it's a defense against fat.

No longer paying attention to Zhang Yuan's 'demigod', after entering the stone gate, there was a palace-like building inside.

Because of the short timeframe, the construction was simple, with only a platform in the center for enshrining the corpse.

Even if the tomb was simple, Zhang Yuan was very satisfied with it, as it was a mausoleum-level burial site!
