    Chapter 1197: Tomb within a Tomb


    As Devil''s Frown spoke those words, his face contorted in frustration. He had sent Guardian


    Michael with a group to Jefferson Vige to seize the Dragon Emblem fragment. Little did he expect


    that the bumbling Guardian Michael would fail to secure it, only to have it taken by Chris Shelby.


    And then, Guardian Michael had the audacity to defect to Chris Shelby''s East Coast Martial Hall,


    taking on the ridiculous moniker-Piggy! Devil''s Frown couldn''t help but seethe at Piggy''s


    ipetence. Even as a pig, he was utterly useless.


    Peterson Abernathy''s gaze flickered upon hearing Devil''s Frown''s words. Initially, the Abernathy


    family had closed off their estate at their grandfather Destiny''s behest. However, Devil''s Frown


    shared a secret with Peterson Abernathy, revealing the existence of another Dragon Emblem


    fragment hidden in Jefferson Vige. Tempted by the power the Dragon Emblem wielded, Peterson


    Abernathy decided to go against his grandfather''s wishes and seek out the relic. The promise of


    increasing the Abernathy family''s influence once Lord Dragon''s treasure emerged was too enticing


    to pass up. Peterson Abernathy smiled faintly and assured Devil''s Frown, "If you help the Abernathy


    family secure the Dragon Emblem fragment, we will not forget your contribution."


    In gratitude, Devil''s Frown grinned, "Mr. Abernathy, once we obtain the Dragon Emblem fragment, I


    only need the Abernathy family''s assistance in rebuilding the Ghost Sect!" Peterson Abernathy


    chuckled heartily, "A mere trifle for the Abernathy family! Once we find the Dragon Emblem


    fragment, we will undoubtedly aid you in rebuilding the Ghost Sect!" To Peterson Abernathy, trading


    the Ghost Sect for a Dragon Emblem fragment was a bargain. Moreover, Devil''s Frown''s enmity


    with Chris Shelby was advantageous to Peterson Abernathy, giving him another reason to enlist


    Devil''s Frown''s help. "Thank you, Mr. Abernathy!" Devil''s Frown''s face lit up with joy. Rebuilding the


    Ghost Sect was no easy task. Initially, Devil''s Frown had relied on the Wind family''s support to


    create the sect. But with the Wind family eradicated by Chris Shelby, he now depended on the


    Abernathy family''s strength. The Abernathy family, as one of the prestigious heritage families and


    former royal lineage, possessed the necessary resources to assist Devil''s Frown in resurrecting the


    Ghost Sect effortlessly.

    Feeling the weight of his decisions, Devil''s Frown acknowledged that, given his current


    circumstances, he had to let go of his desire for the Dragon Emblem fragment to focus on rebuilding


    the Ghost Sect. Despite his initial reluctance to part with the relic, he knew that without the power to


    back it up, owning such a treasured artifact would spell his demise. This reality made him resentful


    towards Chris Shelby. It was Chris Shelby who had orchestrated the downfall of his Ghost Sect and


    the Wind family, leaving him with nowhere to turn. However, Devil''s Frown understood the


    ruthlessness of the world he lived in, where power ultimately decided one''s fate.


    Turning his gaze towards the grave of Edmund Jefferson, Peterson Abernathy inquired curiously,


    "Devil''s Frown, how could a remote ce like Jefferson Vige house two Dragon Emblem


    fragments?" Each Dragon Emblem fragment had the potential to incite chaos and bloodshed. The


    fact that Jefferson Vige concealed two fragments of the emblem was nothing short of astonishing.


    Devil''s Frown exined with a smile, "Mr. Abernathy, I have uncovered a startling secret through my


    research. The tomb of Edmund Jefferson is a tomb within a tomb, not only housing Edmund


    Jefferson but also a legendary figure from a century ago who once shook the entire Amerosian


    martial world-Victor Yellowbird!"


    This revtion left Peterson Abernathy astonished. Victor Yellowbird was a renowned figure in the


    Amerosian martial world, a legend from a tumultuous era when the Highcrest Dynasty was in


    decline. Victor Yellowbird, a former disciple of the Highcrest Temple whoter founded the


    Yellowbird House, had garnered great fame in the south with his unique martial arts skills. The fact


    that Edmund Jefferson and Victor Yellowbird, two friends who had each obtained a Dragon Emblem


    fragment, were buried together was a testament to their formidable strength and reputation as


    martial masters. After Victor Yellowbird passed away, Edmund Jefferson had arranged to be buried


    alongside him, instructing his descendants to bury him with the two Dragon Emblem fragments.


    Peterson Abernathy couldn''t help but sigh, "Who would have thought that Jefferson Vige


    harbored such a hidden history?" He expressed concern about the monumental task of excavating


    Victor Yellowbird''s tomb within the massive grave of Edmund Jefferson. The daunting size of


    Edmund Jefferson''s tomb had proven challenging for Chris Shelby and his group, illustrating the


    difficulty of unearthing Victor Yellowbird''s resting ce. Devil''s Frown suggested, "Peter Jefferson,


    the mayor of Jefferson Vige and a direct descendant of Edmund Jefferson, likely knows the


    location of Victor Yellowbird''s tomb. Why not capture him and interrogate him?"


    Peterson Abernathy''s eyes lit up at the idea. Peter Jefferson had disyed remarkable strength


    when he single-handedly defeated several elders of the Abernathy family during their previous


    encounter. Despiteter sustaining injuries by Peterson Abernathy himself, Peter Jefferson


    remained a formidable opponent. The presence of such a powerful martial artist in a small vige


    like Jefferson Vige took Peterson Abernathy by surprise. He ordered, "Summon Peter Jefferson to


    me!" Within moments, several elders from the Abernathy family brought the weakened Peter


    Jefferson before them. The aged Peter Jefferson, no longer the vigorous figure he once was, bore


    the scars of battle and age. Peterson Abernathy smiled at Peter Jefferson and inquired, "Mr.


    Jefferson, as a direct descendant of Edmund Jefferson and the vige mayor, do you know the


    whereabouts of Victor Yellowbird''s tomb?"


    Upon hearing Peterson Abernathy''s question, a steely glint appeared in Peter Jefferson''s eyes as


    he realized the true reason behind the Abernathy family''s presence. Having suspected their motives


    since their arrival in Jefferson Vige, Peter Jefferson was quick to grasp their intentions. After all,


    Jefferson Vige, a remote backwater, would not have attracted the attention of the Abernathy


    family without the promise of the Dragon Emblem fragment.
