Song Yan naturally used the Faceless Mask and Talent to change his appearance, then discreetly modified his Divine Soul Aura with the Free Celestial Demon Map. With such an appearance, even if Ancestor Ningxin faced him directly, she wouldn't recognize him.

An Li wore a simple white gauze hat, carrying a sword on her back, looking like an ordinary female cultivator.

The two rushed to Lu Kingdom as fast as they could.

As expected, the surroundings of Ziwu Village were already filled with cultivators.

These cultivators each held treasures, frantically digging the ground.

The rumbling sounds, the large pits everywhere, and the flying dust were the main rhythm at this moment.

As for the villagers around Ziwu Village, they had long since relocated, so the houses in the village were occupied by cultivators. Even the roadways and wells in the village were all dug to pieces.

When Song Yan and An Li descended from the air, a loose cultivator immediately greeted them.

The loose cultivator scanned the two.

The male cultivator was handsome and dashing, but looked like a pretty boy, while the female cultivator behind him seemed a step behind like a servant, yet with an extraordinary demeanor.

This kind of method of "master-servant reversal, hidden identity" was not uncommon among the loose cultivators, so it was not remarkable.

The loose cultivator cupped his hands and said, "I am True Master Jinming, Crimson Palace Realm, with no sect. I wonder about you two?"

While speaking, he glanced at the two with peripheral vision, then quickly noticed the male cultivator cautiously looking at the female cultivator behind. Thus, he grew more certain of his original thought.

Song Yan cupped his hands and said, "I am Jianhuang Zi, and this is my attendant Xiaojui. We are both in the Crimson Palace Realm, without a sect."

"Sword cultivator?" True Master Jinming's eyes brightened.

Song Yan summoned a flying sword, performing a standard swordsmanship technique, revealing a hint of sword qi during the process.

True Master Jinming was evidently an expert, feeling the pure sword qi, and immediately became much more enthusiastic.

Not all who use swords are sword cultivators, but those who can cultivate sword qi definitely are. Sword cultivators in the Cultivation Realm are known for their "strong combat power" and "high morality."

He immediately suggested, "We are all loose cultivators, none of us have it easy. If you two lack companions, why not join me?

To be honest, I came with my Dao partner. This way, the four of us can look out for each other."

Song Yan paused, seemingly listening to An Li's telepathy, then nodded, "Alright, then thank you, Brother Jinming."

Half a month ago, he had released numerous Demon Beast Shadow Puppets.

He originally intended to use those Demon Beast Shadow Puppets to first gather information about Ziwu Village in Lu Kingdom. But once they entered Lu Kingdom, they quickly depleted their Profound Qi, unable to stay hidden. If they went deeper, they might be discovered by many cultivators and then destroyed directly.

Song Yan had no choice but to withdraw all the Demon Beast Shadow Puppets, stopping at the edge of the Land of No Profound.

Therefore, he now knows very little about the situation in Ziwu Village and desperately needs a local guide.

Blending in is the fastest way to gain understanding.

...

...

Night fell.

Ziwu Village.

The villagers transformed into teams of cultivators in every household.

The illuminating Profound Grass Core Fire spread its light domain, and once An Li took off her hat and revealed her adorable and appealing face, True Master Jinming and his Dao partner True Master Mingcai almost completely relaxed.

These two, at first glance, were righteous people. Seeing their demeanor, they might well be cultivators from a righteous force on a training mission, so posing as loose cultivators wouldn't be strange.

True Master Mingcai laughed heartily at An Li, glanced at her clear eyes, and said, "Little Jiu True Master is really quite likeable."

An Li bowed, saying earnestly, "My young master and I heard there was a chance here, we came specifically to find it, never expected it to be this situation."

As she spoke, she gently shook her head, with a demeanor of "considering this place uninteresting, rather leave early."

True Master Mingcai realized her intent and hurriedly said, "Little Jiu True Master, no need to rush, we have at least a month to explore."

Beside her, True Master Jinming laughed, "There's secretly transmitted news saying that the grandees of the Formless Ancient Race are on their way here, which will take at least a month. When such mighty beings arrive, it will surely be none of our business then. Our goal is to quickly search before they arrive, with luck, maybe we'll stumble upon something?

The ones here now are all loose cultivators. Everyone's thinking is that even if they have to snatch, they wait until they see the treasure, so they generally find an open space to start digging, hoping to dig something out."

Song Yan asked, "Have they found anything?"

True Master Jinming shook his head, "That ancient tomb was long cleared out by the ancient race previously. But those cultivators who know fengshui divination say that the tomb is most likely a peripheral small tomb, and around it must be a large tomb, the main tomb! The real treasures are inside that main tomb!

So I say, really don't rush, you've come all this way, you must at least hear a sound before you leave."

An Li nodded and said, "Young Master, let's watch a bit longer."

Song Yan said, "Yes."

True Master Jinming and True Master Mingcai exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat amused and helpless.

...

...

Night fell...

The two groups divided into two rooms, then simply affixed talismans to isolate investigation and sound.

Song Yan embraced the gentle An Li in his arms, the two of them quietly feeling each other's warmth.

An Li said, "Even at night, there are still many cultivators digging. If there's really an ancient tomb around, it will surely be found. Have the Dragon Tomb Ancient Race and the Night King Ancient Race not arrived yet?"

Song Yan said calmly, "They have."

"What?"

An Li was startled.

Song Yan said, "They are still waiting for this free labor of the loose cultivators, tirelessly excavating day and night."

An Li pondered and said, "Should we wait for the treasures to come forth before going to compete with them?"
