At this moment, Qin Wei was pacing back and forth anxiously in the study.

Qin An had been gone for two hours, yet there was still no news from him.

Qin Wei had great trust in Qin An; he was one hundred percent sure that Qin An would never betray him.

Qin Wei was very confident in Qin An's abilities.

With Qin An's skills, if he wanted to escape, there were not many people in the West City who could stop him.

Outside the window, a light rain began to fall. Qin Wei gazed at a painting on the wall and fell into deep thought.

This painting was a portrait of the Qin Emperor.

"Qin Emperor, please ensure that three days from now I can activate the grand formation, resurrect one hundred thousand corpse puppets, and restore the prestige of my Qin family."

At that moment, Qin Wei's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the number, Qin Wei was overjoyed and answered the call.

"Uncle An, how are you?" Qin Wei asked anxiously.

"Young Master, don't worry. Wu Xiong has been killed by me, and I've captured Lin Chen alive," Qin An said.

"You caught Lin Chen?" Qin Wei was overjoyed at hearing this.

Lin Chen had always been regarded as a significant threat by Qin Wei, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bring him here. I want to see exactly what kind of deity this Lin Chen is," Qin Wei said coldly.

"Yes!" Qin An responded on the phone.

Before long, Lin Chen was brought in by Qin An.

At this moment, Lin Chen's hands were tied behind his back, looking very disheveled.

Seeing Lin Chen, Qin Wei finally let out a sigh of relief.

"So, you are Lin Chen?" Qin Wei sat in his chair with a condescending expression.

Lin Chen's face showed no panic as he calmly smiled and said, "That's right, and you are Qin Wei, the descendant of the Qin Emperor."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qin Wei's expression changed, glancing at Qin An beside him.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought.

Qin An could be said to be no different from the Qin family, and in any case, he would not betray him or the Qin family.

"I didn't expect you to know quite a bit," Qin Wei sneered.

Lin Chen chuckled coldly, "The Qin Emperor is long gone. As his descendant, wouldn't it be good to live honestly rather than courting death."

"Hmph, kid, you're my prisoner now. If I just open my mouth, I can have your head cut off," Qin Wei said, staring icily at Lin Chen.

"Really? You can give it a try," Lin Chen mocked as he eyed Qin Wei.

"Lin Chen, I see you as a hero. If you pledge loyalty to my Qin family, I can spare your life," Qin Wei suddenly said, changing his tack.

"Pledge loyalty to you?" Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh.

He never expected Qin Wei to want to rope him in.

"Sorry, I won't pledge loyalty to anyone, so you can give up on that idea," Lin Chen said with a calm smile.

"Kid, since you're seeking death yourself, don't blame me. Uncle An, kill him," Qin Wei ordered coldly.

However, Lin Chen's wrist flicked, and the rope binding him fell off instantly. Qin Wei's expression changed upon seeing this.

"Uncle An, quickly capture this kid," Qin Wei shouted at Qin An.

But Qin An stood there dumbly as if he hadn't heard anything.

At this moment, Lin Chen's gaze turned cold, "Qin An, seize Qin Wei for me."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qin Wei laughed as if looking at an idiot.

"Lin Chen, what are you joking about? Uncle An has watched me grow up; how could he go against me?"

However, before he finished speaking, Qin An's body shot forward like lightning.

Although Qin An was no match for Lin Chen, he was more than enough to handle Qin Wei.

"Young Master Qin, sorry about this."

As he spoke, Qin An grabbed Qin Wei by the collar like a chick, dragging him off the chair.

The face slap was too fast; Qin Wei was dumbfounded.

Qin Wei could never have dreamed that Qin An would lay a hand on him.

"Uncle An, are you crazy?" Qin An struggled and shouted.

Although Qin An's face showed a trace of struggle, Lin Chen's soul-seizing was too powerful, firmly controlling his mind.

Qin An said nothing, directly dragging Qin Wei in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen sneered, "Young Master Qin, you didn't expect this, did you?"

"Uncle An, why? Why would you betray me?" Qin Wei couldn't believe that the person he trusted the most would betray him.

Lin Chen looked at Qin Wei and chuckled coldly, "Don't worry; soon you'll be just like him."

As he spoke, a flash of golden light passed by.

Qin Wei's previously ferocious expression instantly became calm.

"Master!" Qin Wei respectfully saluted Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded, "Where is the secret passage to the Qin Tomb?"

Qin Wei's face showed a struggle upon hearing this, but under the influence of the soul-seizing, he obediently said, "The secret passage is behind a rockery in the garden."

"Lead the way," Lin Chen said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Qin Wei nodded vigorously.

Lin Chen, Qin An, and Qin Wei walked to a rockery in the courtyard.

This rockery appeared unremarkable from the outside, but when Qin Wei placed a token on it, it split into two halves, revealing a pitch-black cave entrance.

"Master, the secret passage is just below here," Qin Wei said respectfully.

Lin Chen nodded, "You go ahead and lead the way."

Qin Wei dutifully led Lin Chen into the secret passage.

This secret passage was very spacious, equipped with sensor lights that would illuminate as people passed by.

After walking along this tunnel for about a kilometer, Qin Wei stopped.

"Master, up ahead is the entrance to the Qin Tomb," Qin Wei said.

Lin Chen looked ahead to see a massive bronze door.

This bronze door was already rusted, but Lin Chen could tell at a glance that it was made of millennium black iron, and without a method to open it, even explosives would hardly blast it open.

However, with Qin Wei at hand, Lin Chen naturally need not worry.

Qin Wei approached the door, bit his fingertip, and placed his hand on a groove in the bronze door.

"Rumble!" With a muffled sound, the bronze door slowly opened.

Lin Chen entered the Qin Tomb, his expression suddenly changing, "What a magnificent tomb."

This tomb was practically an underground world, complete with mountains, rivers, and everything else.

Magnificent palaces stood tall within the ancient tomb, and most remarkably, standing in the palace square were rows of terracotta warriors.

These terracotta warriors differed from the unearthed ones made of stone; the ones in the ancient tomb were made of people.

"Master, these terracotta warriors have been turned into corpse puppets. Once the formation is activated, these corpse puppets will come back to life," said Xiao Shuai.

"Don't worry, I won't let them succeed," Lin Chen replied.

"Master, the formation has already started. Do you see those red bloodlines? When the bloodlines reach the end, the formation will be triggered."

Lin Chen looked at the writhing blood, and his expression changed, an icy look appearing on his face.

The feeling of the blood was all too familiar to Lin Chen; it was Zhao Xiaohua's blood.

"Bastard!" At that moment, Lin Chen wanted nothing more than to kill Qin Wei.
