carried out, a beggar in ragged clothes knocked on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very deep sound came from the coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To build this coffin, many excellent materials were used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides gold, there were sturdy metals inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the coffin was dug out, it couldn’t be easily opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Icy, solid, with traps—a unique feature of this coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial teacher originally prepared this coffin for himself, not for Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His death was predestined long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar knocked again, realizing the coffin’s solidity, attempted to open it was futile, so he gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a pitch-black night, he walked around the coffin in circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, on the ninety-ninth circle, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar lay on the coffin, listening with his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he heard nothing from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if there lay a dead body inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar stepped back, suddenly charged forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands slammed heavily on the coffin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled sound like thunder spread through the still night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar shook from the shock, retreating several steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He steadied himself, walked to the coffin, aimed for the latch, and smashed down again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clatter, the coffin’s latch shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar lifted the heavy coffin lid, looking at the already deceased imperial teacher inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out, inserting his hand into the wound on the imperial teacher’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulled out a dragon scale and a still beating heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the wound was covered by a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed struck the longsword away, exposing the wound, giving the beggar a chance to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the beggar left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial teacher suddenly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood continuously dripping from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mysterious forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trent Marsh, wearing leather boots, wielding a long knife, traversed the perilous jungle alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is different from the outside woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many plants, unseen elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few seen before, ones said extinct in books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growing like weeds, possessing no preciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trent Marsh pushed through obstacles, emerging before a cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I seek West Mountain Month.” He called into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who goes there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arrogant voice echoed from inside the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trent Marsh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trent Marsh replied stolidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response for a long time in the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the voice was noticeably more restrained. “May I ask, is it Trent from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct.” Trent replied, “it’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Marsh, please wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice in the cave was now full of respect, utterly different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a name was enough to intimidate those inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person walked out from the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Marsh, please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person dressed in an ancient style, akin to people from thousands of years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured to the cave interior: “They are all waiting for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Trent Marsh clasped his hands behind his back, gripping the long knife as he stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was pitch black initially, but as he proceeded, light began to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everywhere were oil lamps, devoid of modern traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electricity here, a nonexistent concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Theodore Marsh grace us with your presence, what do you instruct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching inside, someone exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last time Lord Theodore Marsh came here was over five thousand years ago! How come you suddenly thought of us after all these years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another voice chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trent Marsh stood central, surveying the hostile martial artists, extending his hand: “I need to eliminate someone; whoever can assist me will receive it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his palm, a cascade of tokens fell out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roughly estimating, there were five or six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Someone stood up, eyeing the tokens aglow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Genuine. I, Trent Marsh, never speak falsehoods. Now, Silvio Reed is missing, my words hold sway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trent Marsh eyed the elder who questioned: “There’s only one person. First come, first served.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man leapt forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face adorned with a full beard, greed apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think you can just claim my items by wanting them?” Trent Marsh sneered, retracting the tokens, sizing up the man: “First, you must pass my test.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man instantly drew his longsword, slashing towards Trent Marsh like lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long knife in Trent Marsh’s hand blocked in front, clashing with the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, he pushed forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screech!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flew, the blade pressed against the man’s chest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the sword blocked, Trent Marsh exerted lightly, sending the man flying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t withstand even one move from me, yet wish to take this item? Wake up, you’ll only ruin my plans.” Trent Marsh sheathed the long knife, speaking coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man unwilling but still gripping his sword returned, his eyes filled with resentment and anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blue Shirt, try it.” An old man with white hair pointed at a youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth nodded, stood up, and walked to Trent Marsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What skills do you have?” Trent Marsh was direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here to find someone to dispose of Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Investigating Silvio Reed’s case along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvio’s disappearance was very bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possibly involving a Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Trent Marsh’s urgent task now, as for Julius Reed, he thought of a better solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier strike had only one purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intimidating this group, letting them know he was still Trent Marsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not tolerate their insolence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Marsh, forgive me.” Blue Shirt cupped his hands, but didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack.” Trent Marsh showed little anticipation, still too young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You first.” Blue Shirt didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?” Trent Marsh was somewhat impatient, but as he prepared to act, realized he couldn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” He looked down, noticed Blue Shirt’s foot right on his shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Intriguing.” He exerted slightly but still couldn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trent Marsh burst with intense power, finally breaking free of Blue Shirt’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very capable, what’s this technique?” He was highly interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Able to step on someone’s shadow and immobilize them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a life-or-death moment, even a brief motion halt could be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I look forward to you.” He tossed a string of tokens to Blue Shirt, also handed a photograph: “Find him, kill him. Remember, he’s greatly wounded, don’t target the heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Blue Shirt took the tokens, raised them high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheering erupted in the cave,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This token meant they could leave, not continue living in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance swept through the martial arts world, Trent Marsh and Silvio Reed confined some elite martial artists to consolidate power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were lucky, surviving multiple massacres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, they were unfortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only able to delve into martial arts here, confronting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the tokens, a few could leave here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Start anew.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-06-06T17:06:04.997Z",1,"novelbin.me","d368b266cffacce06a24733967a879b503b4fb94e86651e8e1c4d1d3d0c9487d","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-2259","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-2257",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
