More than ten days had passed since Lin Mo entered the Ancient Tomb, and Wei Manying found it strange. By all rights, he should have returned by now.
Xiao Ming had not been in Shanghe City lately, so no one was pestering her. She decided she might as well go take a look.
But as soon as she reached the vicinity of the Dragon Emperor's burial site, she saw tens of thousands of soldiers and officials from the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty gathered there. They had even sealed off the area.
Wei Manying immediately had a bad feeling. Only after drawing closer did she discover that the people of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty were excavating the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.
Had there not been some nearby cultivators watching the proceedings, Wei Manying might have been arrested when she rashly showed herself.
Very few people knew about the Dragon Emperor's Tomb. All the others were descendants of the Yuan, with Lin Mo the sole exception. Wei Manying concluded that Lin Mo must have tipped them off.
Uncovering the Dragon Emperor's Tomb was an achievement of monumental proportions. That was probably why Lin Mo had approached her in the first place.
Once she figured that out, Wei Manying wanted nothing more than to skin Lin Mo and tear out his tendons.
Unable to find Lin Mo, she had been planning to return and disperse the household at the Wei Family's residence in Shanghe City. Who would have thought Lin Mo would show up himself?
"Listen to me. This has nothing to do with me! I grew up in Shanghe City. To tell you the truth, I even have a grudge against the Emperor of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty. I only joined the Ministry of Works because I had to swallow my pride and compromise.
