Chapter 991 Try It


    “W-What’s going on?” Everyone was surprised. They waved their hands, but their martial energies


    were gone, effectively turning them into ordinary people. Warren frowned. He clenched his fists, but the


    martial energy within him was suppressed as well, and there was no way of tapping into it. “I’m


    guessing this is an arcane array designed to suppress our martial energy,” exined ke. “Is there


    any way to destroy this arcane array?” asked Warren.


    With their martial energy suppressed, there was no way they could open the coffin. That, in turn, meant


    that they couldn’t check to see if there was any treasure inside. ke shook his head and replied, “An


    arcane array of this magnitude is beyond me. Also, it has the mountain supporting it, and the river


    strengthening it. That means only a top mage can create something like this. If my guess is right, then


    this is the legendary Dragon Vein that previous emperors had talked about.”


    “Dragon Vein?” asked Warren curiously.


    He knew nothing about that kind of stuff, so he had no idea what ke was talking about.


    “In the past, the royal family would ask powerful mages to find a spot known as the Dragon Vein. It is


    said that the ce could be used to bring prosperity to the country. There is no saying which emperor


    found this Dragon Vein or when this tomb was built, though,” replied ke.


    Warren only understood what was going on after ke exined everything. The former was a little


    reluctant to give up on that coffin, but they had all lost their martial energies. Hence, they had no way of


    getting closer to the coffin and could only go back the way they came. I guess this trip is not a total


    waste though since I got this painting.


    “Let’s head back then. We’ve already found the coffin and there is no way to open it anyway, so this will


    be the end of the Trial.”


    Warren had no choice but to issue the order and end the Trial.


    Many were disappointed because they assumed that they could get a lot of magical items from the


    Emperor’s Mausoleum. Yet, in the end, they were going to leave empty-handed. All they got was a


    painting… which Edgar had already imed.


    But since Warren had already issued his instructions, everyone had to obey. There was no point in


    staying anyway since they couldn’t do anything without their martial energy.


    Just as Warren was about to lead the others back, Jared suddenly stepped up.


    “Hold it right there! Do you really think you can leave after stealing my stuff?”


    Jared grinned as a cruel glint shed past his eyes.


    When the arcane array was triggered and everybody’s martial energy was restricted, Jared tried to tap


    into his power. To his surprise, he was unaffected.


    Jared had never used martial energy and only ever used spiritual energy. That was why he was


    immune to the arcane array.


    Now that everybody’s martial energy was suppressed, Warren and the others were no more than


    ordinary folks, and Jared no longer needed to fear them. It was the perfect opportunity to get his


    painting back.


    “Jared, what are trying to do?” demanded Edgar as he turned to Jared.


    “Taking my painting back, of course.”


    As soon as Jared finished speaking, he made his way to Edgar.


    “My martial energy might be suppressed, but you are no better off, Jared. If you attack, all of us can


    gang up on you together and beat you to a pulp!”


    Edgar wasn’t worried at all. His martial energy might be suppressed, but he was confident that Jared


    was in an equally bad situation. That meant there was no reason to fear the guy at all.


    “Is that so? Then why don’t you try it?”


    Jared stepped forward and snatched the painting away easily.


    Edgar was surprised. He punched Jared, but that punch waspletely physical. There was no martial


    energy aiding it or strengthening it at all.


    Bang!


    Edgar’s punchnded on Jared’s chest, but Jared didn’t budge. A secondter, Edgar’s agonized


    scream echoed.


    The pain seemed to spread throughout his body, and Edgar felt as though he had just punched a block


    of steel.


    p!


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Jared pped Edgar, causing thetter’s body to fly in the air like a ragdoll before crashing right into


    the wall a secondter.
