Not only Raksha Sect, but Lucius and his group, who were circling back to the foot of Emerald Hall, also abruptly turned around.
“It’s coming from above!” Lucius roared, turned around, and sprinted madly toward the source of the commotion.
After entering Emerald Hall on the second day, the Everest Sect and Norton family split up to expedite their search for the Skyrend Sword. Then, Tyger, along with the remaining few, stumbled upon the tomb and found the Skyrend Sword on it.
They were perplexed as to why they couldn’t pull it out when they were suddenly attacked by Isaac’s group.
Tyger and his companion retaliated immediately, but when they looked up, they found the attackers had vanished without a trace.
“Sir Tyger, who were those people just now? And where did they go?” Channing hurriedly approached Tyger, his face filled with anxiety.
They were already doing sneaky things, and Tyger had emphasized the need for speed, not wanting to alert Everest Sect.
Both groups were aiming to claim the Skyrend Sword for themselves.
Tyger squinted his eyes, staring into the dark expanse ahead. In a menacing tone, favonovel.com said, “Regardless of who they are, hurry up and draw the sword.”
“Tyger, you work quietly, huh? Aren’t you afraid of catching the attention of those lying in all these tombs?” A cold voice rang out, and Magnus, nearly blending into the night, appeared with several students just 30 feet away from Tyger.
An unusual force enveloped the surroundings, prompting Tyger to look around. He discovered that seven or eight members of the Raksha Sect had already encircled their group.
“Magnus, you…”
“Tyger, you old coot, planning to hog the Skyrend Sword all to yourself?” Before Tyger could finish his sentence, another angry shout interrupted him.
Lucius, accompanied by Caesar and others, charged down toward them.
Tyger’s mouth twitched.
Why did they suddenly appear all at once?
At that moment, the clouds that had obscured the moonlight gradually drifted away. When the moonlight spilled down, the group found themselves staring at each other.
Lucius, in particular, was visibly agitated, muscles twitching in angen
Upon parting ways, they had agreed that as soon as one party discovered the Skyrend Sword, they would immediately inform the other and work together to obtain the treasure. Yet now, the boat of friendship seemed to be capsizing.
“Sir Lucius, I believe you’ve misunderstood. We just found it. We haven’t had the chance to inform you yet, have we?” Tyger’s mind raced, realizing that this was not the time to offend Everest Sect.
He could only put on a smiling face and come up with an excuse. Lucius also noticed Magnus and his group.
“Sir Lucius, surely you remember the favor I did for you back at the Divine Tower? Now it’s time for you to fulfill that obligation and help me out.” In the moonlight, Magnus flashed a smile as favonovel.com looked at Lucius.
Lucius and Tyger furrowed their brows, sensing that something ominous was unfolding.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Have Everest Sect withdraw from the competition for the Skyrend Sword.” Magnus’s expression changed abruptly, and favonovel.com stared at Lucius, speaking in a grave tone.
Lucius was momentarily stunned, realizing the hidden agenda behind Magnus’ sudden willingness to assist him.
“What’s the matter? Has the patriarch of the illustrious Everest Sect also become a man of empty promises?” Magnus began to sneer
At this point, Lucius had much to consider. With his mind rapidly processing the situation, favonovel.com decided that even if favonovel.com had to go back on his word, favonovel.com couldn’t afford to give up on the Skyrend Sword before him.
“Sir Lucius, why don’t we join forces against these deviant practitioners? Whether the Skyrend Sword ends up in your hands or mine, at least it will remain in the righteous hands. Moreover, I know that woman is Isaac’s wife, Allegra!”
