Lord Chapter 414

Chapter 414 The Stone Coffin

Dozens of silhouettes gathered in front of the Stairway to Enlightenment.

The person leading the charge was none other than the Ice Queen herself, lyn.

Farther back were some members of the Morrison family.

They didn’t run into any further trouble as the path in front of them had already been paved

with blood.

The Morrison family didn’t join hands with anyone and remained on their own.

There were pros and cons to their decision, but they hadn’t gotten a single casualty ever since they arrived.

Sitting back and swooping in to reap the rewards once their competitors were tired had always been the Morrison family’s style.

As for Jyn herself, no one could tell what she was thinking.

Her eyes seemed like an emotionless void. It would only light up with affection whenever she caught Caspian in her sights.

The Morrisons frowned as they looked at the densely packed corpses lining the stone stairway.

Fresh blood was still dripping from the bodies as they flowed down the stairs like a river.

The crowd couldn’t help but shudder as they looked at the aftermath.

“Ms. Morrison, it would seem that the TMAA and Shadow Gate have suffered heavy losses.”

“Most of the corpses belong to the TMAA and Shadow Gate, while some are third–party forces.

“None of the bodies here include Caspian’s men!”

The men working for Jyn could still gauge the situation with one simple glance.

The Morrisons were shocked as they wondered if Caspian’s subordinates were blessed with divine protection to have suffered zero casualties.

They could only wonder just how powerful Caspian was to have such achievements in his 20s.

Jyn remained unfazed, as if she had already expected such an outcome.

Losers like Gilbert and Nixon couldn’t stand a chance against her one and only.

“Ms. Morrison, should we chase after them?” asked Ginger.

“Of course!” replied Jyn as she rushed ahead of her group.

Meanwhile, the final stone gate within the tomb had just opened.

Caspian and his men finally arrived at the grave of the Stewarts‘ ancestors.

Both sides of the wall within the tomb were decorated with luminous gemstones that illuminated the entire tomb.

Within the center of the room was a huge coffin made of stone.

It was the final resting place of one of the Stewart family’s ancestors.

Xandros immediately knelt down before the coffin and started crying. “Forgive me, my ancestors. I allowed so many people with ill intentions to disrupt your rest.”

“Please stand up, Mr. Stewart Senior. This isn’t your fault. I’m sure your ancestors had also anticipated such a day to come,” consoled Caspian.

Xandros wiped his tears and stood up. “You’re right, Caspian. We should move on and retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment immediately.”

“Just where is the Eldorian Scroll fragment hidden within this tomb, Mr. Stewart Senior?” asked Caspian.

Xandros pointed at the coffin and explained, “It’s inside the stone coffin!”

His expression suddenly sank as he explained that one would have to open up the coffin to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

“Will there be traps?” asked Caspian.

“Of course-”

Xandros was interrupted by the arrival of Gilbert, Nixon, and their men.

“You b

bastards! You actually followed me here!” shouted Caspian.

The crowd didn’t even care to listen to what Caspian was saying. They were fixated on the stone coffin in the center of the tomb.

“The Eldorian Scroll fragment should be right there.”

“Absolutely!”

Everyone looked at the coffin with anticipation, as the Eldorian Scroll fragment’s allure was just too great.

“Hahaha! The Eldorian Scroll fragment will be mine!”

“F*** off! Maybe in your dreams!”

Hundreds of expert martial artists stepped up and rushed toward the stone coffin without any hesitation when even the people from the TMAA and Shadow Gate were standing still

obediently.

Both Gilbert and Nixon snorted at the sight of the men rushing toward certain death.

And sure enough, something happened right as the men approached the coffin.

A cold flash of steel temporarily lit up the room as arrows burst out of the walls from all four directions.

The next moment, blood–curdling screams rang out within the tomb.

Hundreds of bodies all fell down beside the coffin in an instant.

Everyone who remained still had already guessed that there would be a trap, but they never expected it to be so deadly.

Among the corpses included even eternal grandmasters. They were felled by the arrows,

Caspian whispered, “It would seem that retrieving the Eldorian Scroll fragment won’t be as. easy as I thought, Mr. Stewart Senior.”

Xandros narrowed his eyes along with a smile. “Don’t worry. When the time is right, the scroll fragment will naturally be yours.”

Caspian didn’t ask any more questions after hearing his explanation.

Both Nixon’s and Gilbert’s expressions also sank as they realized Caspian seemed relaxed while standing in place.

The two of them wanted the Eldorian Scroll fragment just as much as anyone else, but they had no idea just how many more traps were laid around the coffin.

It could potentially be fatal if they rushed toward the coffin while assuming that the coast was

clear.

They then turned to Xandros and Nixon. “Hey you, old man! I’m sure you know how to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment. Tell us already!”

“Have some respect for your elders, please. Besides, I won’t tell you anything even if I do know something,” replied Xandros.

Nixon was boiling with anger. “You…”

He had already suffered enough humiliation from Caspian, yet he was now being disrespected. by some feeble old man.

“You already have one foot in the grave anyway, old man. Why don’t I help you with the other foot as well?” shouted Nixon as he rushed toward Xandros.

Caspian didn’t intend to block the hit for Xandros at all.

He had always suspected that Xandros was powerful. Caspian was confident that he could fend.

for himself.

The next moment, Nixon was sent flying backward as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“How is this possible?”

A hundred–year–old man sent the head elder flying?”

The crowd was flabbergasted as they stared at Xandros.

Someone suddenly cried out, “He’s a supreme grandmaster!”

Xandros had to be a supreme grandmaster to be able to send Nixon flying with just a single punch.

Nixon looked up at Xandros in disbelief at the fact that a hundred–year–old man like him had.

such power.

“Eight Extreme Fist!”

Nixon went from surprised to terrified as he realized the hundred–year–old man before him knew Eight Extreme Fists.

He had assumed that Xandros was just some senior citizen. He never anticipated the possibility that Xandros was such a powerful fighter who managed to completely conceal his

power.

The crowd fell silent as they watched the scene unfold.

Gilbert, too, had become wary of Xandros and didn’t dare to act rashly.

The Eldorian Scroll fragment was just within an arm’s reach, but no one had dared to make a

move.

Gilbert soon stepped up and explained, “What’s the point of wasting time, Caspian? It’s only fair if we all make a move together.”

“I don’t mind. Why don’t you have a shot at the scroll fragment first? If you can manage to retrieve it, it’s yours to keep,” replied Caspian with a sly grin.

“In your dreams!” shouted Gilbert.

Gilbert could tell that Caspian was trying to have Shadow Gate scout the way ahead for him.

“I have all the time in the world to wait for you to make a move,” explained Caspian.

Caspian was also able to tell what his enemies were planning.

+15 BONUS

He wasn’t worried about having a standoff, while Gilbert and Nixon began to panic.

They couldn’t afford to idle any longer.

“Nixon!” shouted Gilbert.

Both of them were exhausted, and the situation would only be worse the longer they dragged

it out.
