The source of the mysterious energy was inside the stone coffin.
Bassan gently touched the stone coffin with sentimentality after a moment. Then, he looked at the words on the wall.
"Can you tell us what it says?" asked Wilbur.
Bassan said with pride, "This is our family secret, so you don't need to know."
"Bassan, this belongs to the nation. You better know your place," said Ryder coldly.
Bassan laughed coldly and asked, "Do you think the bodies of my ancestors belong to the nation too?"
"It seems like that body is the problem," said Wilbur nonchalantly.
Bassan smiled coldly and said, "That's none of your business. You may leave now."
"Don't forget that the burial site does not belong to an individual. There are laws regarding this. It doesn't matter if they were your ancestors," said Ryder coldly.
Bassan turned around at that moment. He looked at Ryder and Wilbur coldly, and he said, "You should know that rules are meant for ordinary people. Cultivators like us are not bound by laws and rules. Your lives may be spared if you leave now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."
Ryder looked displeased. Wilbur said slowly, "You should think it through. The undead creature inside that stone coffin is probably a dangerous entity. Are you sure you want to face it alone?"
"That's my ancestor. What can't I face alone?" asked Bassan coldly.
Wilbur smiled and replied, "I warned you, but you won't listen to logic. I'm telling you that we won't leave."
The secret was about to be uncovered, so Wilbur would not leave.
Frankly, the entity inside the stone coffin must be extraordinary.
It would be an important discovery for the national excavation or for his cultivation.
Bassan wanted it all for himself, so there was no way Wilbur would allow it.
