Archaeology is archaeology, why dig me up?

Chapter 54 Zhou Changshan

"Hmph, absolutely impossible."

Sword Invincible confidently refuted.

"Although my elder brother is three-tenths as handsome as me, I admit that I am not as good as him in terms of strength, but in terms of looks, I, Jian Wudi, have never lost."

"I... oh my god."

"Is there anyone who can teach you a lesson?"

First-class passengers disembarked first, followed by Jian Wudi. As they passed the door, the female college student screamed upon seeing Gu Lingchen.

Jian Wudi assumed they were looking at him, confidently tossing his hair, in a cheerful mood.

As Gu Lingchen stepped out of the cabin, the first thing he saw was an elderly man in a black Tang suit with deep eyes and a smile on his face.

At a glance, it's clear that this person is a descendant of Zhou Huaihe.

At that moment, Zhou Nan rushed forward, grabbed the old man's arm, and said happily, "Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

"Grandpa, that's wonderful! I haven't seen you in so long!"

"Grandpa, let me introduce you, this is my grandmaster."

"Grandmaster, this is my grandfather, Zhou Changshan."

"This is my father, Zhou Shinan."

"That's my brother, Zhou Fei, you've met him before."

"Greetings, Instructor Gu. The leader is currently unavailable, so I am here on behalf of the Dragon Shadow Guard to greet Instructor Gu."

Actually, no introduction was needed; Zhou Changshan recognized Gu Lingchen as the Zhou family's grandmaster at a glance.

Zhou Changshan stepped forward, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Zhou Changshan, a descendant of the Zhou family, greets his grandmaster."

"Grandmaster, I've finally been waiting for you to arrive."

"No need to be so polite."

"Zhou Huaihe cannot be considered my formal disciple, so your Zhou family doesn't need to do this."

Gu Lingchen's tone was indifferent, but it fulfilled all of Zhou Changshan and Zhou Shinan's fantasies about their grandmaster.

It's hard to imagine that, more than three thousand years later, the person in that portrait still looks the same.

Time has left no trace on Gu Lingchen's face.

"What are you saying, Master?"

"According to the Zhou family's ancestral precepts, the kindness our master has shown to our Zhou family is something that our Zhou family can never repay, generation after generation."

"If it weren't for the guidance my grandmaster gave to my Zhou family patriarch, our Zhou family would never be where we are today."

"Grandmaster, I have already booked a hotel."

"My Zhou family has a private room reserved for our master at tonight's auction."

"Please come with us to the hotel to rest for a while."

"Okay, let's go."

"Zhou Changshan, you'd better die."

"Boom!"

Just then, a figure in black robes appeared in the air and struck out with a palm strike from afar. The powerful force directly turned several Maybachs into scrap metal.

And a burst of flames swept through the air.

The immense pressure even shocked Jian Wudi.

Holy crap.

"A fight broke out."

Inside the cabin, economy class passengers who were still waiting to disembark pressed their faces against the windows to watch the spectacle.

"Yuan Family's Fiery Palm?"

"Are you Yuan Lie?"

Zhou Changshan's aura exploded, his brows furrowed slightly, and he stepped forward to meet the gaze of the black-robed figure in front of him across the distance.

"Hahaha, Zhou Changshan, you didn't expect this, did you? I, Yuan Lie, am still alive."

"You've been hiding for years, and I've been waiting for you for years."

"I'm so glad you're finally out."

"Give me back the lives of my twenty-odd members of the Yuan family."

"court death."

Zhou Changshan's eyes were cold. Facing Yuan Lie's attack, Zhou Changshan dodged with a strange movement.

He then slapped Yuan Lie on the back.

"Pfft~"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Yuan Lie collapsed to the ground, glaring angrily at Zhou Changshan.

"Zhou Changshan, you beast, you beast..."

"You're not even human, why, why..."

"boom."

Zhou Changshan didn't give Yuan Lie a chance to speak again. He struck out with a palm from a distance, and Yuan Lie was instantly engulfed in flames and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Zhou Nan felt that his grandfather was somewhat unfamiliar.

He had never seen Zhou Changshan's eyes look like that before.

"Grandmaster, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

"This is an old enemy of mine who has come seeking revenge."

"He was also a wanted criminal by the Dragon Shadow Guard, so I just took advantage of the situation and eliminated him."

"Grandmaster, please~"

Gu Lingchen gave Zhou Changshan a meaningful look, then sat down in the still-intact Maybach without saying a word.

Chu Yue only realized it now.

Looking at the charred ground, she couldn't believe it. Yuan Lie, a first-class wanted criminal of the Dragon Shadow Guard, was dead just like that.

Yuan Lie, formerly the head of the Yuan family, was famous throughout the world for his Fiery Palm technique.

At its peak, the Yuan family was even on par with the four great families of Yanjing.

Yuan Lie's strength is also terrifying; it is rumored that he is at least a Celestial Realm expert.

But just a few years ago, Yuan Lie suddenly went on a killing spree in Yanjing for some unknown reason.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that Yuan Lie was actually killed instantly by Zhou Changshan?

So what is Zhou Changshan's strength?

Watching Zhou Changshan's car leave, Chu Yue realized for the first time that this rarely seen head of the Zhou family was no ordinary person.

"Captain Chu, what are you thinking about?"

"Get in the car quickly."

"It's not a big deal. Yuan Lie only has himself to blame."

"My grandfather stepped in and eliminated a menace for us."

Zhou Fei's voice interrupted Chu Yue's thoughts.

At night, Yanjing was brightly lit.

The area outside the InterContinental Hotel was bustling with traffic and crowds.

Organized by the China Martial Arts Alliance, this auction, held every three years, is a highly anticipated event.

Martial artists, powerful families, and aristocratic clans will all gather in Yanjing.

The four major families of Yanjing—the Situ family, the Zhou family, the Xiang family, and the Bai family—will all send representatives to participate, and some will even bring out treasures for auction.

The members of the four major families are always the center of attention wherever they go.

Today, Zhou Nan's attire was different from usual. She wore a black wig and a formal dress, and walked behind Gu Lingchen like a well-bred lady, arm in arm with Zhou Fei.

Chu Yue also took off her uniform and wore a simple long dress and high heels, which was rare for her.

But when she walked, Chu Yue felt uncomfortable all over.

I can't understand who the brilliant mind was who invented high heels.

If you wore this to fight or chase someone, your strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

What's outrageous is that Jian Wudi is invincible.

The Zhou family had prepared many clothes for them at the hotel, but Jian Wudi chose a pure white suit from head to toe, even his leather shoes were white.

With his signature side-swept bangs, he looks like someone from the alternative era.

Many people were drawn to his appearance and discussed him amongst themselves. Jian Wudi saw all of this and assumed that these people were admiring his good looks.

"Oh, isn't this our little tyrant of Yanjing, Miss Zhou Nan?"

"I almost didn't recognize you dressed like this today."

A well-dressed young man in a black suit blocked the path of Gu Lingchen and his group, surrounded by many people.

"White Jay?"

"What bad luck! Why do I run into you everywhere I go?"

"Make way, a good dog doesn't block the road."

"Hehe, that's more like it."

"I thought our Miss Zhou Nan had changed her personality."

"However, Miss Zhou Nan, you'd better be a little more polite to me."

"To tell you the truth, I'm going to represent the younger generation of geniuses in China tomorrow to face off against Japanese martial artists."

"After I beat them all down tomorrow, I, Bai Juyi, will be a hero of China."

At the same time, the appearance of another man made everyone at the scene afraid to look him in the eye, and Bai Renjie also silently lowered his head.
