The entire network was preparing for Su Yun's funeral.

Although the tombstone and musical arrangements were handled properly by the authorities.

Local tycoons across the country, by coincidence, bought up all the yellow paper.

They were just waiting for the moment the "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" music started to collectively light it up!

... At the headquarters of "the strongest challenger" program.

The chairman and shareholders stared at the stock market, which was so green it made people panic.

They had already given up all hope.

Collectively at midnight, all the employees sat at their workstations... Yes, once this night passed, the moment dawn broke was when they would all be unemployed.

No one would have thought that a listed company would actually go bankrupt because of one person... The director rubbed his few remaining strands of hair: “Brother Su Yun... your death was truly tragic!”

... "Achoo!"

Inside the tomb, which was as bright as moonlight, Su Yun suddenly sneezed.

Fatty Wang Fan walked ahead, his face beaming with smiles: “Brother! I didn't think we would actually make it inside!”

At this moment.

Their current location was precisely the interior of the tomb.

Because Chang Wei accidentally picked up that piece of jade, they easily opened the tomb door and entered.

Looking at the massive cave, which resembled a paradise... Su Yun sighed: “It truly lives up to its name as the Emperor's Tomb.”

The true interior of the tomb was completely different from the darkness and terror they had imagined!

Quite the opposite... The tomb was well-ventilated, breathable, and the temperature difference was suitable... After countless years of evolution.

The internal structure of the tomb still maintained its most primitive appearance... Splash!

Fatty Wang Fan was overjoyed, playing with the crystal-clear mountain spring water in the pool.

“Brother! We truly benefited from a misfortune! This place is simply a treasure land!”

“Oh right... the jade that Chang Wei picked up, I think it looks like a jade pendant...”

Su Yun nodded.

He had realized from the beginning: that piece of jade was the highest access pass to the tomb.

Without a doubt, it was a jade pendant worn by the Emperor himself back then.

It could open all the tomb chambers inside the burial site... Fatty Wang Fan then said: “Brother, I think the Emperor's Tomb must contain many treasures, right?”

If they took out just one item, perhaps it would be priceless, ensuring they never worried about food or drink for the rest of their lives.

“Brother, look... I burned so many good things for the ancestor...”

“In return, as an exchange, it wouldn't be too much for me to take a few items, right?”

Wang Fan blinked, seeking his opinion.

Hearing this, Su Yun shook his head: “Fatty, we can't take anything...”

“Don't forget, there are still many people waiting for us outside.”

“For one, we won't be able to carry them out...”

“Secondly, don't forget our original intention for entering the tomb—to try our best not to disturb the ancestor...”

In life, one must always have a bottom line and never forget their original intentions.

Su Yun looked at the piece of jade in his palm.

He pulled some threads from his clothes, made them into a pendant style, and hung it around Chang Wei's neck.

They couldn't leave the tomb without the jade pendant... Using it as an amulet and hanging it on Chang Wei was also a good idea.

Once finished, Su Yun patted Wang Fan's shoulder: “Fatty, don't be sad.”

“The ancestor will always watch over you.”

“Let's go... it's time to leave...”

The two men did not rashly break into any other tomb chambers.

For one, it was out of respect for the predecessors and the ancestor.

Secondly, the tomb was simply too large, and the area they had entered was merely one of many chambers... Just like that, Su Yun walked towards the light and the ventilation exit... Outside.

Master Mu of the sculpting world, leading several other prominent figures in the industry.

They sourced materials on site, using a piece of extremely high-quality rock to carve a tombstone for Su Yun... At the same time, the nation's top Chinese Oboe arrived.

They were uniformly strong young men... The leader of the troupe held a golden-bronze Chinese Oboe, while the rest of the members held various musical instruments.

They knew the piece they were about to play was "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"... To ensure nothing went wrong, the group gathered together and began sound checking.

Furthermore... the Cookhouse Squad Leader, working with the chefs from the Longhai City Police Bureau cafeteria, two master chefs, each displayed his unique skills...

What they could do was prepare delicious meals for the deceased and for everyone present... For a time.

The Steel Regiment Military District was densely packed.

Looking around, there were tens of thousands of mourners, either wearing white hats or holding yellow paper.

The entire venue was orderly... Against the backdrop of the deep night, a faint mist rose in the air...

Reporters and media, holding their cameras and microphones.

Were live-streaming this unprecedented grand funeral for the entire network.

“Hello everyone! I am a two-and-a-half-year intern reporter! What you are seeing now is the funeral of the famous safety publicity ambassador, Mr. Su Yun!”

— — [Holy cow! So many people! So solemn!]

— — [Seriously, this is the first time I've ever seen a funeral held at midnight...]

— — [Are they really that eager to send Brother Su off? How much hatred and resentment is there?]

— — [There must be some taboo involved, right? After all, Brother Su died inside the Emperor's Tomb!]

— — [So many big shots... even the Chinese Oboe was called in...]

— — [I've never heard "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" in my life! Already preparing to screen record!]

— — [Speaking of which... if Brother Su were still alive, he would definitely come to join the fun, right?]

Millions of fans in the livestream room showed no sign of sleepiness.

Zheng Jianfeng, Director Chen, Officer Hong, and others were dressed in formal attire, their faces solemn, standing at the very front.

Master Mu put away his carving knife.

A tombstone, carved with the words "Su Yun's Tomb" and protected by dragons and phoenixes, appeared out of nowhere!

Another tombstone, carved with other patterns and the words "Wang Fan's Tomb"...

The two tombstones stood one meter apart, and in the middle of the two, there was another one, carved with the two characters "Chang Wei".

Offerings, yellow paper, burning incense... everything was fully prepared!

Zheng Jianfeng waved his hand: “Let the funeral begin!”

“Strike up the music!”
