“Hmph! What a bunch of useless fools...”


    Joel snorted coldly and took out his bronze handbell before he started chanting. The sound waves


    reverberated through the air and rolled toward the barrier like rising tides, growing increasingly strong as


    he chanted on.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The sound waves collided continuously with the barrier, and the barrier trembled under the impact. The


    huge rebound energy rendered Joel''s face pale.


    “Let''s secretly lend them a hand, or I doubt they''ll be able to get in,” Jared whispered to xseed.


    xseed smiled and took out a charm. He then casually scribbled some strange patterns on it.


    The moment xseed let go of his hand, the charm soared into the sky and stuck itself on the barrier.


    In the blink of an eye, the barrier cracked as if it had received a hard blow.


    Joel''s forehead was covered in cold sweat when the barrier copsed.


    “That''s amazing, Mr. Joel!” Dannyplimented Joel.


    “I didn''t expect the arcane array to be this powerful. There must be a lot of magical items in the ruins,”


    Joel said.


    Jared sneered coldly at Joel''s words.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    In actuality, this supposed arcane array guarding the ruins was not left by Engarder Sect.


    If it were developed by Engarder Sect, it wouldn''t have been easily destroyed.


    Instead, the arcane array was rebuilt by someone who had intruded into Engarder Sect.


    Right then, a few men in ck were bustling about in the ancient ruins inside the snow mountain.


    A blond male foreigner with a pair of blue eyes was sitting in the main seat.


    Sitting beside him was an elderly d in a ck robe.


    Right then, one of the men in ck hurried over and reported, “Prince Harold, someone broke through


    the barrier. The intruders are heading in our direction.”


    The man frowned and cast a nce at the elderly beside him.


    The elderly, on the other hand, remained unperturbed by the news. “Release the tiger demon. Send our


    men to stop them. We must not let them enter.”


    “Understood.” With that said, the man in ck left to carry out the orders.


    “Mr. Alex, who do you think is capable enough to break through the barrier?” the man asked curiously.


    “Prince Harold, there''s no need to be worried. Even if they managed to break through the barrier, they


    won''t be able to survive the tiger demon''s attack. They would have to tackle dozens of arcane arrays and


    traps before they could get to us. No one can make it here alive!” said the elderly, Alex, with a confident


    look on his face.


    “Great! We''ve been managing this ce for a few months. I wonder when we can enter the tomb of


    swords? Once I acquire the magic sword, the title of a noble would be mine. Heck, I may even be able to


    im the throne,” eximed Harold, his eyes gleaming with greed.


    “Rest assured, Prince Harold. As long as we have enough crystals, we can break into the tomb of


    swords in a few months,” Alex promised.


    “That''s great. I will ask them to mine more crystals. By the way, my sister maye here looking for


    King of Herbs. If you see her here, kill her on sight!” Harold said.


    “Understood!” Alex nodded.


    After Harold left the scene, Alex stepped onto a tform that was built with crystals, and a devious smile


    appeared on his face.


    Meanwhile, Jared and the others had passed through the barrier and were ascending the snow


    mountain. However, the higher they climbed, the steeper the route was.


    A terrifying aura enshrouded them along the journey, and the whole group was constantly on high alert.


    All of a sudden, Joel raised his hand and gestured for everyone to stop.


    “Mr. Joel, what''s the matter?” Danny asked.


    “We''re in danger. I smell a demon beast...” Joel frowned.


    “A demon beast?” Danny''s face changed. “Could it be the tiger demon?”


    Before Joel could utter a response, a loud tiger roar pierced through the air.
