Chapter 972 A Sense Of Impending Danger


    ke, 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 pir


    candles made everything seem all the more bizarre.


    Naturally, that startled quite a few people. “There’s no need to panic, Mr. Gordon,” ke 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 ke. 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 rxed 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 eximed 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 ce 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 vignt of his surroundings.


    A few minutester, the tunnel finally opened up to a hall that spanned an area of several hundred


    square meters. Needless to say, everyone felt ted, 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 be aughing stock.


    “ke, what’s going on here? Check the ce out!”


    ke 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, Skr and Howard sat somece 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.
