Those who participated in the archaeological activity in Xisha were Zhang Qiling, Li Sidi, Chen Wen-Jin, Wu Sanxing, Huo Ling, Qi Yu, and Xie Lianhuan, whose surnames are "Zhang, Li, Chen, Wu, Huo, Qi, and Xie". These are completely consistent with the Mystic Nine's surnames, which shows this wasnt merely a coincidence
