square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom of the lake, perfectly rectangular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool’s edge is circular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The center of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also a circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the lake water disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight suddenly pierced through the mist, shining brightly on the hole at the center of the lake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various martial artists rushed over, leaping down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, many ancestors paid with their lives to explore the Azure Emperor’s ancient tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The descendants reap the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a minute later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Julius Reed stood alone on the bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrain held some mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight appeared where it shouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the sun at seven or eight in the morning shine vertically into the valley?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, why did the hollow mountain suddenly tremble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why did the lake’s central hole open?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jumping into the lake’s center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screech!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grandmaster’s Longsword scraped against the wall, slowing his descent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bottomless depth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full ten seconds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s feet finally landed on something soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some reckless martial artists, inexperienced and without guidance from predecessors, were the unlucky ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smashed to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall was damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water indeed flowed in from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed closed his eyes, and when he reopened them, green light emitted from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless physical exercises had honed his eyes to be as keen as a beast’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at night, he could see many things clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his sword in one hand and continued walking inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underground was spacious, the corridor three meters high and about two meters wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were dilapidated stones with obvious signs of artificial excavation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Building such an ancient tomb must have required massive manpower and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet oddly, Julius Reed recalled no records or memories indicating Emperor Charlotte Grey ever built such a tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they heard was that Emperor Charlotte Grey spent years building a tomb for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it made no sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a construction, given productivity a thousand years ago, might not be completed even in a century!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor stretched nearly a kilometer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed dashed inside swiftly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dampness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moldy smell of pond water in the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And mixed with a hint of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the corridor’s end be where Emperor Charlotte Grey sealed himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a forbidden area that troubled the four lords and six viceroys long ago wasn’t so easily breached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the corridor’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mountain’s interior, dozens of meters underground, there was light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast view before him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tomb chamber of at least a thousand square meters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bronze coffin lay!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tomb chamber was eerily silent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed saw no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But logically, it shouldn’t be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there were no other exits in the tomb chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin lid was suddenly flipped open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A corpse stood up from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the corpse’s form, Julius Reed squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure standing from the coffin was the headless corpse from his dreams!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headless corpse emerged from the coffin, filling the tomb chamber with an eerie laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-empty chamber suddenly had many bizarre corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed laughed abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion is born from the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused to believe it could be such a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse lying in the coffin couldn’t possibly be the headless one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and exhaled sharply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then immediately held his breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reopened his eyes, there was no headless corpse in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first group to enter was fiercely battling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpses were everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were crazily killing their own companions, utterly unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the outermost edge, a group was curiously looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their eyes, Julius Reed knew these people also hadn’t fallen victim to the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, you’re impressive. I watched you just now; from entering the tomb chamber to leaving the illusion, it took less than ten seconds!” A middle-aged man nodded approvingly, “Youth is to be feared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the source?” Julius Reed asked aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they hadn’t succumbed, there had to be a way to dispel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here!” The middle-aged man pointed to his chest, smiling, “The source lies in the human heart. This tomb is filled with a plant’s scent that causes hallucinations, similar to… the hallucinogenic substances we use now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why weren’t you affected?” Julius Reed glanced around, noticing many people had already come to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The West Sea God Buddha, covered in blood, was killing those crazed martial artists with bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Jorden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed saw Isabella Warm from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Jorden and Isabella Warm, leading a group, were also in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should easily handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When speaking to my master, it’s best to show respect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the middle-aged man could respond, a short-haired woman in a pink T-shirt and white jeans spoke coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clayton, don’t be rude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man scolded and smiled at Julius Reed, “I’m Demetrius Caldwell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boulevard Caldwell Family?” Julius Reed examined the group and spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group consisted of seven people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the middle-aged man, the rest were all Great Grandmasters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lineup was luxurious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised Julius Reed was that the woman called Clayton was also a Great Grandmaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sharp eyes, young brother.” The man was initially stunned and then laughed, “How do you know I’m from Boulevard Caldwell’s family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apart from the Caldwell Family, who else would have such arrogant servants!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s face flushed red!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say that again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being called a servant infuriated her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I speak again, it might be with this sword!” Julius Reed raised his Longsword, pointing at the woman, “Wanna try?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be rude!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demetrius Caldwell shielded the woman behind him, his eyes narrowing, “This weapon of yours is a renowned sword. May I admire it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course… not.” Julius Reed said the first two words and Demetrius Caldwell beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he finished, Caldwell helplessly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand not flaunting wealth. Young brother, if you don’t mind, would you join us?” Demetrius Caldwell extended an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, he repeatedly insults you, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clayton, I’ve taught you many times to be generous. No master is without a temper,” Demetrius Caldwell sternly replied, “This young brother escaped the illusion in ten seconds; killing you wouldn’t take a second! Know your place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clayton looked at Julius Reed with eyes full of doubt. “Master, he seems ordinary, yet he’s so formidable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Certainly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demetrius Caldwell nodded at Julius Reed, smiling in explanation, “My Caldwell ancestors visited three hundred years ago and left some clues. If you join me, it’ll save much trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Julius Reed agreed. “What do you seek here, Caldwell Family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To retrieve an ancestor’s body,” Demetrius Caldwell said with a hint of bitterness flashing on his face, “My father’s body is in this ancient tomb.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-06T17:05:36.318Z",1,"novelbin.me","1b66b045bdb9d0af63228c354c41f64c66cfe5f5e4e50c720cc4e35e3f3446a7","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1524","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1522",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
