The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 601 Sand Sea 27

After learning that the Wang family had been completely wiped out, Wu Xie stood there stunned for several minutes before his mind gradually came to its senses.

He once desperately wanted to eliminate the Wang family and cleanse the Nine Gates before Zhang Qiling came out of Changbai Mountain, so that Zhang Qiling wouldn't have to bear so much burden.

It wasn't until he was sentenced to prison and underwent reformatory education that he finally woke up to the reality of how outrageous his actions had been.

His parents hoped he would be a clean and honest person, but unexpectedly, he ended up following the Wu family's old path of tomb raiding.

Wu Xie stared blankly into the distance, his hand stroking the seventeen scars on his arm. His expression was a mixture of crying and laughing as he murmured, "So eliminating the Wang family is this simple? All it takes is calling the police. What about all the plans I made before? What about those seventeen people?"

“Wu Xie…” A slightly aged voice rang in Wu Xie’s ears.

Lost in thought, Wu Xie lowered his eyes slowly upon hearing the familiar voice, his gaze falling on the tips of his shoes. He said in a slightly cold voice, "Third Uncle, I don't want to hear you speak right now."

One of Wu Xie's wishes was to find his frequently missing third uncle.

This time, the Nine Gates were all wiped out by the police, including Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan, who shared the identity of "Wu Sansheng". Both of them were sentenced to life imprisonment.

However, at this moment, they, along with Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen, and others, were not in prison. Instead, under official arrangements, they quietly arrived in the Badain Jaran Desert to assist the archaeological team in studying the ancient city of Tongjing.

After a period of exploration, the archaeological team finally found the entrance to Gutongjing, but after entering Gutongjing, they encountered a series of strange events.

Even though they wanted to understand what was happening from a scientific perspective, they were still unsettled when they saw the black-haired snake that could speak human language.

Not to mention the stone house where people disappeared as soon as they entered, which caused a panic in a short period of time.

Even though the members of the archaeological team were mentally prepared for the eeriness of Gutongjing before they arrived, no one expected it to be this sinister.

The leader of the archaeological team immediately reported the situation. After receiving the report, the higher-level leaders, after careful discussion, made an exception and specially recruited Li Yiming, Wu Xie, Fatty, Wu Sansheng, Xie Lianhuan, Xie Yuchen, Hei Xiazi and others who had some knowledge of Gutongjing into the archaeological team.

To prevent these people from escaping, the police assigned officers to closely monitor them and fitted them with tracking ankle bracelets.

Once the person goes outside the area designated by the police, the ankle bracelet will instantly release an electric current to knock them down and send a location signal to the police.

Initially, Wu Xie and the others were thinking about how to escape so they could continue their fight against the Wang family. However, the police quickly noticed their intentions and assigned someone to educate them. Through consistent, day-to-day efforts, their thinking finally changed.

The attitude has shifted from "I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I still do it" to "I know everything I'm doing is wrong, so why did I do it in the first place?"

With this shift in mindset, the group temporarily suppressed their thoughts of escaping, while secretly worrying about how to eliminate the Wang family.

We can't wait until they're released from prison decades later, dragging their trembling bodies, to fight the Wang family again, can we?

Just as everyone was struggling with their decision, they suddenly heard the news that the Wang family had been completely wiped out, which shocked them all.

But after the initial shock, I felt it was the natural outcome, and at the same time, I felt a sense of loss.

The Nine Gates spent three generations and decades, expending countless resources and meticulous planning, before finally devising a plan in Wu Xie's generation that was enough to eliminate the Wang family.

From the moment the authorities learned of the Wang family's existence to the complete eradication of them, the entire process took just over a year, with the actual action taking less than two months. The Wang family's headquarters was destroyed in less than a day.

This is the difference!

If they had known that eliminating the Wang family would be so easy for the country, they... they... would probably still have chosen to hide everything from the authorities and quietly carry it out on their own.

Unfortunately, even though their thinking has changed after receiving education, they still tend to prefer doing things themselves when it comes to problem-solving.

Looking at his nephew, Wu Sansheng felt a surge of guilt. His lips twitched a few times, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

His nephew was once the cleanest person in the entire Wu family, and even in the entire Nine Gates, but he was dragged into the abyss time and time again by him, and even his soul was stained black, becoming what he is now.

The Nine Gates are involved in the shady business of tomb raiding, so naturally they avoid the authorities and always try to solve problems on their own, never seeking help from the police.

Therefore, after discovering the existence of the Wang family, their choice was to quietly plot and eventually eliminate the Wang family at any cost.
