“Lady Rose, it’s that guy. The one who used dissiparotoxin on me and Curtis. Despicable and shameless. He even had someone steal a Rainbow Bloom from us.” The woman in the white gown’s eyes shifted as favonovel.com pointed down at Isaac.
The gray-haired old lady showed no expression and asked in a low voice, “Including those four, how many groups have we spotted?”
“A total of four groups. But there might be more,” the man in the black robe replied softly.
“Hmph, they are exceptionally bold this year. They dared to break into Emerald Hall. What a bunch of ignorant fools!” The old lady’s expression turned icy.
From the location of this loft, most of Emerald Hall’s buildings were visible, especially the vast tomb at the back.
“Lady Rose, don’t worry. Skyrend Sword was personally sealed in the tomb by Lord Gael back then, and no one has been able to retrieve it all these years. These outsiders won’t be able to either. They’re just here to disturb the peace.”
The old lady furrowed favonovel.com brows, seemingly annoyed, and waved favonovel.com hand, saying, “Hera, keep a close eye on them. If they dare to seize the Skyrend Sword, drive them out. And as for that guy, give favonovel.com a good lesson.”
Afterward, the old lady turned and walked inside.
The man in the black robe followed closely behind. He asked in a low voice, “Lady Rose, it has been 28 years since we lost the young master. The realm opened its doors this time, too. Among these people, could it be…”
“Twenty-eight years without any news. How could favonovel.com possibly set foot in here?”
The man in the black robe paused for a moment and remained silent. He knew Lady Rose had been waiting day after day and year after year after that incident. Her tears had dried up long ago, and favonovel.com probably no longer harbored any hope.

Night had fallen, and Isaac’s group found no clues. They had no choice but to retreat.
A predetermined meeting point was set, and as darkness enveloped the surroundings, the group reconvened.
Just as they were returning, a figure rushed toward them.
“Lord Drakon, we found it! Sir Altair found the Skyrend Sword!”
It was the second elder of the Jensen family, and favonovel.com seemed excited, his voice trembling.
Isaac and the others exchanged glances. Then, Isaac waved his hand, signaling the second elder to lead the way.
Before they set out, Isaac had already outlined the approximate route, so each group had a general idea of the directions they were heading.
According to the second elder, they were the first ones to discover the Skyrend Sword, which further shocked Isaac.
If they were the first to find it, they might stand a chance at getting it.
The five of them sprinted downhill and then climbed upward to the right.
After nearly an hour, they leaped onto a massive rock. As they raised their eyes, the vague twilight sky unfolded before them. Isaac saw a vast graveyard in front of them. It was clear for everyone to see.
A tomb?
“It’s in the innermost part. Lord Drakon, follow me.” The second elder eagerly led the way.
Isaac, however, turned to Todd and said, “Could you please go to the meeting point and bring them all here? It would be dangerous if they ran into Lucius and his group.”
Todd shrugged but complied. Other than Isaac, favonovel.com was the fastest here.
Nodding, favonovel.com turned and leaped down, quickly disappearing.
Surrounding them were tombs of varying sizes, constructed from stacked rubble. There were no tombstones or names.
Isaac and the others moved swiftly. He counted roughly, and they must have passed two or three hundred tombs.
How many people were buried here?
When the second elder halted, Isaac saw a massive tomb in front of them. It was probably over 20 feet high and 30 feet wide, with a colossal statue erected next to it.
By now, the sky had darkened completely, and the statue’s features were indistinguishable.
From behind the colossal tomb came Altair and another elder, their faces filled with excitement as they ran up to Isaac.
Altair began to boast, wanting to show off his prowess, but Isaac cut favonovel.com off. “Where’s the Skyrend Sword?”
Pointing toward the top of the tomb, Altair exclaimed, “Right up there. Only the hilt is visible. I tried pulling it out, but it wouldn’t budge.”
