…
Not long after Chris and his companions left, Zen and his group also rushed out of the tomb passage and arrived at the valley entrance.
“What…”
Upon seeing the scene before them, Zen and the others were stunned.
None of them had expected the tomb to hold such hidden wonders.
…
Ashley Solo examined the footprints left by Chris and his companions, then approached Zen and said, “Chief Guardian, according to the traces, Chris and the others must have just left not long ago. Should we catch up with them?”
Zen didn’t answer Ashley Solo’s question. Instead, he looked around the valley and sighed, “I never would have thought there would be such a marvelous view hidden deep within this tomb. They really knew how to choose a burial place for himself.”
Several hundred years ago, the northeastern barbarians invaded the Central Kingdom.
From then on, Amerosia sank into chaos.
During that era of national ruin and family destruction, many martial artists rose up to resist and defend against foreign enemies.
It was also the most prosperous time for the martial arts world in Amerosia.
Various martial arts masters emerged one after another.
Moreover, the masters of that era were true masters.
Not like now, although many people claim to have broken through to the grandmaster level in the martial arts, Amerosia’s martial arts world experienced a great upheaval decades ago, which led to a break in the lineage.
Nowadays, many of the martial arts grandmasters are merely pseudo-grandmasters!
The Jefferson family was a standout among martial arts families during that prosperous era.
It was said that they had broken through to the second step of martial arts!
The second step in martial arts was a realm that countless martial artists dreamed of reaching.
Many great grandmasters, even at the peak of their abilities, struggled to catch a glimpse of it throughout their lives.
Even Zen himself, although he had broken through to the peak of the great grandmaster realm ten years ago, the second step had always been out of reach for him.
This time, coming to Jefferson Village, he hoped to obtain the Dragon Emblem fragment, and perhaps he would be able to break through to the second step!
It wasn’t impossible.
It was said that once, a young master had obtained a Dragon Emblem fragment and had broken through to the second step of martial arts, defeating countless powerhouses and enjoying worldwide fame!
The second step in martial arts!
Thinking of this, a fiery expression appeared on Zen’s face.
This time, no matter what, he was determined to get the Dragon Emblem fragment!
Seeing Zen not speaking, Ashley Solo couldn’t help but say, “Chief Guardian!”
Zen turned his head and coldly glanced at him, “What’s the rush? Wait for those Ghost Sect monsters. If we charge in by ourselves, are we just delivering our heads to Chris?”
Upon hearing this, Ashley Solo said no more.
If he continued to talk, he would undoubtedly provoke a scolding from Zen.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Zen didn’t have to wait long.
One figure after another rushed out from the depths of the tomb passage.
It was the people from the Ghost Sect!
“Hehe!” Guardian Michael let out a strange laugh, “Zen, I didn’t expect you to arrive before me!”
Zen glanced at Guardian Michael and said irritably, “Enough talk. Chris and his companions have already entered the valley ahead of us. If we keep talking, we’ll miss everything!”
Hearing Zen’s words, Guardian Michael’s expression turned serious.
“You’re right! Chris is already so powerful. If he obtains the Dragon Emblem fragment, I’m afraid it will be a disaster for both the Ghost Sect and the Middleton Alliance!”
