Another woman was left wide-eyed and dumbfounded.
Bradley, a highly respected figure in the entire neighborhood, was actually kneeling before this young
man who was just in his 20s?
Nash, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. He had suspected earlier that Bradley was at
member of the Young family’s Tomb Seekers Hall. Nash had deliberately revealed to him his Young
family token when he received the alcohol from him earlier.
“Old Perry, please get up. There’s no need for formality!” Nash helped Bradley to his feet. Finally, he
found a living member of the Young family’s trusted circle. He even turned out to be from the Tomb
Seekers Hall.
The Young family got their wealth from raiding tombs, and the fact that Bradley was the leader of the
Tomb Seekers’ Hall indicated he held a high position within the family as well.
“Grandfather, what’s going on here?” Nico asked with confusion as he looked at his grandfather. This
guy had just taken advantage of Yasmin earlier, and Nico had been thinking about teaching him a
lesson when the opportunity arose. He never expected his grandfather to kneel before him.
How was he going to do that now?
“Ophelia, go get Dacus to buy three coffins,” Bradley instructed, dismissing the woman who had
nothing to do with the Ye family.
Then, he sat down and said to Nash, “Sir, please have a seat.”
Nash sat down on the nearby sofa. Derek helped Yasmin next to him.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Seeing how you’re from the Young family, I suppose you already know who they are.” Bradley
continued, “Both Caleb and I were from the Young Family Vige. The Tomb Seekers Hall is divided
into two branches, the Tomb Hall and the Seekers Hall.
“The Seekers Hall is responsible for seeking out auspicious burial sites, while the Tomb Hall is in
charge of excavating it. When disaster befell the family back then, I happened to be searching for the
tomb of the Medicine King in Xanthalos and was following a lead.
“That’s why I wasn’t able to return to the vige in time and escaped with my life,” Bradley said with a
bitter expression on his face.
Nash lit a cigarette and asked slowly, “So, they all went to the King of Medicine’s tomb?”
His master had mentioned the King of Medicine before. Leopole, a renowned physician from the
Northern Dynasty, was not only highly skilled in medicine but had also acquired the Divine Farmer’s
Legacy.
His master had spent three years searching for the King of Medicine’s tomb but never seeded. Who
would have thought that the Tomb Seekers Hall would have managed it instead?
“The Tomb Seekers Hall started searching for the King of Medicine’s tomb over 200 years ago and only
confirmed its location to be in Xanthalos about 30 years ago,” Bradley exined.
“Other tomb raiders got wind of this information and were keeping a close eye on us, which
prevented us from making a move. We had no choice but to cooperate with them. We spent several
years leading them out of Xanthalos.
“After the massacre, I went under for more than 20 years. I waited until a few old foxes had passed
away before deciding to take a look at the tomb again. Seven days ago, I took my son, my nephew,
and a descendant of my old friend’s to the tomb.
“While digging our way in, we stumbled upon an undead corpse.” Bradley shivered with lingering fear
as he recounted.
“Undead corpse? What’s that?” Xeno gulped and asked, “Could it be the kind of creature I saw on TV?
The one without skin and covered in blood?”
“Undead corpses are also known as grave spirits,” Bradley exined. “They’re evil creatures created
by sorcerers using the blood of the tomb’s resident. They possess immense power, are impervious to
weapons, and sustain themselves on dark energy.”
His eyes narrowed as he recalled the scene from the day before, which caused cold sweat to break out
on his back. He continued bitterly, “After leaving the King of Medicine’s tomb, I warned them not to set
foot inside the tomb, but they went there secretly.”
The Tomb Seekers Hall typically operated with both the Tomb Hall and the Seekers Hall working
together. First, the Seekers Hall would locate a tomb before passing it on to the Tomb Hall for
excavation.
Tomb Hall members were individuals with unique abilities, so some of them had methods to deal with
undead corpses. However, with the Tomb Hall and the Young family both destroyed, they had not been
able to find anyone with the necessary skills.
Bradley was unwilling to let the tomb the Tomb Seekers Hall had been seeking out for over 200 years
go unexplored. It was why he decided to take a chance with his group. However, he ended up making a
grave mistake.
Feeling guilty for a moment, Bradley then continued, “Undead corpses are usually ced in the
antechamber of the tomb, which is separated by a passage with the tomb passage at the front. The
tunnel we dug up led to the tomb passage.
“In theory, we shouldn’t have awakened the undead corpse, so I suspect that someone had been to the
King of Medicine’s tomb before us.”
