Crackling sound.

Rushing outside, all I could see was a white expanse before my eyes.

Mountains everywhere, covered in snow.

Shao Chaikun and his companions took a moment to adapt to the bright light before they adjusted.

"You're back?" Embers and Jiucai Rong approached and asked, "How was the first exploration?"

"Not bad," Shao Chaikun said. "We even managed to pry out a prisoner. The first entry was very smooth, and we didn't encounter any unforeseen situations."

Some cultivators with scratches from moving bricks were kindly invited by the Medical Fairy to enter the medical hall for free treatment of their wounds while she secretly probed the energy flow in their bodies and the differences caused by their spiritual roots.

Before long.

The people from the neighboring tunnel also rushed out.

They ran surprisingly fast, and they also brought out a human prisoner, clearly having engaged in the same people-stealing tactic as well.

The blacksmiths from both sides exchanged a smile, secretly acknowledging their shared understanding, both having been trained in the art of people-stealing at Green Hat Manor.

"Was it the human prison area on your side as well, leaving a decoy behind to die?" Shao Chaikun asked.

The Food God shook his head, smiled, and said, "Yes, we left someone as a decoy, but didn't send them to die. We swapped them out in the prison."

"What do you mean?" Shao Chaikun was taken aback.

"Look, the female prisoner we stole looks very much like Su Yuniang."

Food God explained, "So we pulled her out and let Su Yuniang take her place in jail as an insider, to see what's going on inside and explore the daily routines of the prisoners."

"Brilliant!" Shao Chaikun gave a thumbs-up.

Throwing one of our own in to sit in jail?

Beside them, Shi Youyou's mouth dropped open, once again having her worldview turned upside down.

She already thought their operations were absurd, not expecting the other side's tactics to be even more outrageous! Holding the bag for a prisoner? What a bizarre strategy!

"Won't that mean Su Yuniang will quickly blend in with the prisoners in the jail?"

The Food God stated that Su Yuniang has a superb knack for socializing.

A super interpersonal relationship weapon.

As soon as she enters the prison, she'll probably chat freely with the other prisoners next door, pulling out some intelligence as a matter of course.

The Food God laughed so hard his mouth split open:

"Hahahaha! Once Su Yuniang extracts the internal intelligence from the prison, with the wealth of information we gather, we'll have the ability to impersonate a construction crew and tear down the prison openly in front of them."

"Exactly!" Shao Chaikun said, "After all, it's easier to steal the floorboards outside, but inside is tricky; we need to use this trick."

The Shi Family's leader, Shi Youxing, watched this scene.

She then looked at Shi Youyou, who was already doubting everything, and couldn't help but speak:

"What's wrong with you? Why is the Three Flowers unstable? This is not good. Tell me, what happened inside?"

Shi Youyou said, "Here's the situation. When we went inside, first we dug up the floorboards..."

After hearing that, Shi Youxing also inquired about the process from another Shi family member taking a different route, summarizing the entire process and becoming more and more shocked.

Meanwhile, several Demon Cultivator family leaders were also eavesdropping, now exchanging glances, shocked into silence.

What kind of devilish achievement is this!

Only a willing sacrifice died, and they even planted a daredevil team member to willingly sit in jail, using props to block the presence of living people, disguising as ghosts to be insiders?

And they plan to impersonate a construction crew to openly dig up deep floor tiles, as the inner area is harder to steal from?

They're a bunch of devils, right?

Everyone gasped.

The Zhu Family head, a chubby man, paused for a moment, "They're only stealing floor tiles; do they have an obsessive love for floor tiles?"

The group exchanged glances, and the room fell silent.

Everyone understood that these people certainly weren't just fixated on the floor!

This is just the beginning.

These young disciples of the Blood Separation Flower family clearly intend to take everything, starting from the floor tiles.

Shi Youxing began doubting her life, silently watching piles of brick hills, oil lamps, fences, trinkets, screens, and signboards.

And the two fierce ghosts being carried out...

"They treat ancient tombs like they're shopping at a marketplace."

At that moment, Shi Youxing began doubting if the Shi Family's approach to tomb raiding was wrong!

In the past, their tomb raiding focused on "stealing," covertly taking away valuable treasures.

Is this tomb raiding before us?

This isn't stealing, this is looting!

Shi Youyou looked at Shi Youxing's disbelief in her family head's eyes, feeling a breakdown of her Tao Heart, and softly consoled:

"Only this rare official prison tomb, where the people inside think they're working in a government prison, can dispatch a government construction crew to enter."

Shi Youxing nodded, analyzing, "Indeed, only this type of tomb can be done this way! Our traditional tomb-raiding techniques are still valid; this is a special case."

If it were an ordinary tomb residence, there wouldn't be any chance for a construction crew role.

But what made her feel ashamed was this:

Even as an old tomb raider family, they hadn't thought of taking this construction crew approach, brazenly scamming in broad daylight.

It wasn't about not being clever; it's an issue of perception.

When a family, accustomed to small-time stealing for a long time, forms a cognitive inertia, they're always thinking about how to steal when they raid a tomb and would never think to steal openly!

They're like calves unafraid of tigers.

Only newbies would come up with such heaven-defying plans.

"Stealing each and every floor tile right under their noses, that's just... despicable." She wanted to say this, but felt she had no right to, considering their acts of stealing were already despicable enough.

Shi Youxing ordered:

"We'll fully cooperate with them, officially simulating Civil Engineering Department uniforms, bloodlines, and mimic their usual construction work filming stones to learn their behaviors, striving to portray it more realistically."

"Yes!" Shi Youyou was also excited, "Our Shi Family excels at imitating, impersonating, and disguising. This time, we must perform well, impersonating a perfect construction team, to demolish this prison."

If successful,

this will be a shameless historical "tomb raid" that will be remembered in Shi Family history.

The tomb's owner, upon realizing everything has been stripped, would likely go mad with rage on the spot.

Shi Youxing sighed in her heart, "Times have changed."

They originally intended to let these young people trailblaze, drawing out the Three Elements Realm's cultivator tomb owner so each family's Three Elements Realm Great Cultivators could besiege and delay them, then continuing the raid.

After all,

their Three Elements Realm Great Cultivators didn't dare to casually enter unknown tombs without knowing how strong or numerous the enemies were.

So, having the family's younger members enter was both training and sacrificial fodder, drawing the enemy out.

But if this tactic succeeds...

Their Three Elements Realm cultivators might not even need to act, and they could strip the place bare.

Of course, this depends on whether their impersonation of the construction crew is not exposed.

Shi Youxing was a smart person, "It's worth a try. Even if we're exposed later, we won't lose anything."

"Right! Let's try it first, and deal with exposure if it happens." Shi Youyou's eyes gleamed.

Shi Youxing lowered her gaze, watching the jubilant young Blood Separation Flower family members, hauling cartloads of floor tiles to the Teleportation Array, transporting them back to the Demon Cultivation Manor, inwardly sighing:

"Yesterday, we were unsurprisingly overshadowed. But today, when it was our home ground, even our proudest tomb-raiding domain was outmatched by them..."

"Lagging behind in the same tier cultivation realm, extraordinarily stingy and cunning, breaking conventional tactics, they don't resemble the demon cultivator style of this era. Who exactly is their new Manor Master..."

She clenched her fists, unable to comprehend how, without noticing, her old family friends had grown to such a mysterious and unpredictable level.
