Chapter 972 A Sense Of Impending Danger

Blake, who was in the lead, quickly ordered the Henckles’ disciples to light up their pre-prepared torches.

However, just as he was about to light his torch, candles on both sides of the tunnel began to burn.

The entire tunnel was instantly awash in light, but the sudden appearance of the two rows of red pillar candles

made everything seem all the more bizarre.

Naturally, that startled quite a few people. “There’s no need to panic, Mr. Gordon,” Blake reassured. “Oxygen

entered the tomb when we opened it, and it’s merely the reaction with phosphorous in the air that ignited the

candles.”

Warren nodded and turned to the group of people behind him. “Don’t panic, everyone. Try to keep up. There are

death traps everywhere, so please watch yourselves!”

After saying that, Warren continued to advance into the tomb with Blake. Now that there was light in the tunnel,

they could all finally pick up the pace.

More than ten minutes had passed, but the group was still walking down the seemingly unending tunnel. Since

there hadn’t been any signs of danger for so long, everyone had gradually calmed their nerves and even started

chatting among themselves.

 

Jared and Colin were at the back of the group, but surprisingly, Jared’s expression was grim and not at all relaxed

like the others.

“This ancient tomb sure is huge, Jared. We’ve already walked so much, yet we still haven’t reached the burial

chamber!” Colin remarked.

Jared furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. “There’s a chance this isn’t an ancient tomb…”

“It’s not?” Colin exclaimed with shock. “Jared, didn’t you say this is the Emperor’s Mausoleum? What else could it be

if not an ancient tomb?”

“I’m not sure either, but this place gives me a sense of impending danger. You’d better stay on your guard,” Jared

warned.

For some reason, he couldn’t shake off the ominous feeling of dread, to the point where he subconsciously

activated Focus Technique and flooded himself with spiritual energy.

Realizing his body had gone into fight mode, Jared couldn’t help but be stunned.

I’ve encountered plenty of dangers in the past, but my body has never reacted like this before. Why is this

happening now? What’s going on?

With no answer to his question, Jared became even more vigilant of his surroundings.

A few minutes later, the tunnel finally opened up to a hall that spanned an area of several hundred square meters.

Needless to say, everyone felt elated, thinking they had reached the burial chamber that stored most of the

treasures.

The next second, the group swarmed into the tomb, only to find an empty chamber. Other than some stone

benches, there was nothing at all. What was most baffling, though, was that there wasn’t even a coffin.

This time around, everyone was dumbfounded. If it turned out that the group had gone into an empty tomb, their

Trial would undoubtedly become a laughing stock.

“Blake, what’s going on here? Check the place out!”

Blake nodded and immediately led the Henckles’ disciples to examine the burial chamber while the rest of the

group sat on the benches.

Most of the sects and families had crowded around Edgar, leaving Jared to sit with Colin and two other members

from Shadow Estate.

Meanwhile, Skylar and Howard sat someplace else with their team, not wanting to associate themselves with

anyone from Warriors Alliance.

Just then, Edgar recalled Ryker’s orders and turned to Godrick. “Hey, Godrick, I want you to go over and teach Jared

a lesson. Break both his legs while you’re at it.”

Hearing that, Godrick paled. “Mr. Edgar, I-I’m afraid I’m not Jared’s match.”

The truth was, as soon as Jared appeared for the Trial, Godrick had already guessed that the five guardians sent by

Ryker were most likely dead.
