Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 123 Phoenix Fire, Burn and Burn!

"Human-animal symbiosis?"

The Grand Elder, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. He frowned and looked at Wang Quan in the main seat, asking in confusion, "Wasn't this plan forced to end nineteen years ago?"

"The plan was terminated, but the experiment was not."

The elders of the Wang family present were all acquaintances of this plan, but not all of them knew about it. Wang Quan's paranoia had actually reached this level.

"Back then, there were more than just two people who survived the Golmud sanatorium..."

“Zhang Qiling, Chen Wenjin…” The Third Elder thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly, a disheveled person appeared in his mind. “You mean, Qi Yu?”

"Yes, he was the only symbiotic test subject who survived the entire experiment."

People who were already dead have come back to life?

The council chamber fell silent for a moment, but Yan Huai's arrival would soon bring it back to life.

It was hot and noisy.

"You are... Lord Wang Jue?"

At the gate of the mountain academy, a member of the Wang family who was on guard stared wide-eyed. He thought he was hallucinating, but when Yan Huai glanced over at the sound, he was immediately frightened and lowered his head.

"My lord, the patriarch and elders are all waiting for news of you. What happened to you...?" He's only been missing for less than a week, how could his hair grow so fast? It must be a wig!

Yan Huai sensed the faint ominous aura floating above the mountain courtyard and roughly deduced that the aura originated from the council hall. So, before the Wang family member could finish speaking, he stepped into the mountain courtyard, acting as if he were no outsider.

"Go to the council chamber and inform the head of the family."

“…Yes,” did he, a guard, have the right to refuse? No, but, “please wait here for a moment!”

Yan Huai frowned as he listened to the increasingly weak obstruction from the Wang family. Knowing Wang Jue's personality, he should be getting impatient by now, but when he thought of Wang Quan's old face, which he didn't want to face, he decided to endure it a little longer. He would just pretend to be patient.

The arrogant imposter: "Go now!"

He believed Yan Huai's lies: "Yes!"

However, the next moment, after the figure of the Wang family guard disappeared, Yan Huai also vanished from the spot.

"Master! Master!"

The naive guard from the Wang family ran all the way to the outside of the council hall, only to be stopped by Wang Fu, the Wang family steward, who was standing by the door, as expected.

"What kind of chaotic and disorderly behavior is this! What happened? Why are you here?"

"Lord Wang Jue is back!" The guard looked excited and happy, little did he know that he was already halfway to the underworld.

The council hall is a crucial place for the Wang family to discuss important matters; how could a mere guard barge in at will! Surprisingly, no one stopped them along the way!

Although Wang Fu had a premonition that something was amiss, Wang Quan's voice came from inside the council hall: "Wang Fu, what's going on outside?"

"Master, the guard from the mountain academy has come to report that Lord Wang Jue has returned."

"Xiao Jue is back?" Wang Quan's tone held a hint of surprise. He stepped down from the main seat, walking past the Fifth Elder's bones. "Where is he now?"

"They should still be at the entrance of the mountain academy."

"Let him pass quickly..."

boom--

They arrived, but it wasn't Wang Jue or Yan Huai; instead, it was a raging fire that engulfed an entire courtyard in an instant.

Flames surged into the air, crackling and roaring, even more dazzling than the setting sun near dusk.

"what happened!?"

"That direction is... Lord Wang Jue's courtyard!"

"Quickly send someone over to check it out!"

"Yes!"

"It's terrible, Master! The patrolmen in all the courtyards have disappeared!"

"The South Campus is on fire too!"

"It's Phoenix Fire! Wang Jue set it off..."

Yan Huai stood on the edge of the cliff in the mountain courtyard, sensing the bloodline aura coming from every direction. When he discovered a black bloodline line approaching him, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He knew Zhang Qiling wouldn't listen; it hadn't even been half an hour...

Yan Huai merged a portion of the undying flame in the space into the Wang family's phoenix flames, and as he flew towards Zhang Qiling, he checked the path for any unburned areas, then added more fuel to the fire.

As for what Wang Quan does next, it won't affect Yan Huai's trip to the underground palace in the back mountain. Hmm, take Zhang Qiling with him...
