Chapter 447
C447 – Destination the Owner of the Tomb
He glanced back and, in an instant, Jiang Hao vanished without a trace. When he materialized again, he was already dozens of meters away. Tracking the main group’s trail, Jiang Hao soon came upon an ancient tomb under excavation. The site was heavily guarded, clearly marking his intended destination. Employing a technique of transformation, Jiang Hao melded with a tree, silently observing the area.
Beside the gaping pit of the ancient tomb, the leaders anxiously watched the workers below. Suddenly, an excited voice echoed from the depths.
”Director Wang, Elder Cheng, Elder Yang, we’ve found the tomb door!”
The news brought immediate joy to those above.
“Hurry, lower us down!”
The group of four stepped onto the lift and descended.
Reaching the bottom, they caught sight of a massive, arched doorway blocked by a colossal stone. Ancient inscriptions adorned each side of the door. The two experts quickly set to work translating.
“The mighty name of King Zhao echoes through eternity, bold enough to challenge the heavens with his hammer!”
The proclamation sent the crowd into a contemplative silence. Just then, a young man’s eyes sparkled with realization, and he exclaimed with excitement.
“Lee Yuanba!”
“It must be referring to Lee Yuanba!”
All eyes turned to the young man.
Elder Cheng’s face soured as he scolded sharply.
“Rubbish!”
“Tang Chao, I always tell you to study the history books, yet you insist on reading novels!”
“Lee Yuanba is a fictional character; he never existed.”
“You don’t even know that!”
“From now on, don’t call me your teacher. I refuse to acknowledge you as my student!”
Elder Cheng’s tirade caught everyone off guard.
Elder Yang quickly intervened, trying to defuse the situation.
“Elder Cheng, please, take a moment to calm down!”
He then faced the young man with a stern look.
“Little Tang, apologize to your teacher this instant!”
But Tang Chao’s face was a mix of defiance and frustration.
“No, I refuse to apologize!”
“You all hold history books as the ultimate authority, dismissing anything not found within their pages as non-existent!”
“History is penned by the victors. Who knows how many truths have been shrouded in secrecy? You all are too old-fashioned!”
“Listen up, Lee Yuanba was so unrivaled that he rivaled the overlord of West Chu, earning him the title of King Zhao of the West Prefecture. He alone could wield his hammer to challenge the heavens themselves!”
“This is undoubtedly Lee Yuanba’s tomb, whether you choose to believe it or not!”
With that, Tang Chao turned his back, took a seat to one side, and refused to engage with the others.
His words struck a chord with some in the crowd, prompting a thoughtful pause. Upon reflection, there was indeed logic in Tang Chao’s claims!
Suddenly, a daring thought took root in their minds.
“Could this actually be Lee Yuanba’s tomb?”
Naturally, some were convinced, while others remained skeptical.
Elder Cheng was among the skeptics!
He pointed angrily at Tang Chao’s back, ready to confront him, but fortunately, he was restrained by several people nearby.
“Utter rubbish, out with you!”
Just then, a middle-aged man observing the disarray furrowed his brow. With a mere thought, he exuded a commanding presence.
“Enough bickering!”
“Let’s open the tomb and settle this once and for all!”
His authority was palpable, and with his command, everyone fell silent.
Not even the incensed Elder Cheng could protest.
Turning to address those beside him, he commanded,
“Figure out how to move this stone!”
The group responded promptly,
“Yes, Chief Wang!”
