Chapter 396 The Key to Obtaining the Secret Treasure
Caspian was momentarily stunned after hearing what Xandros said.
He thought that Xandros was cracking a joke.
The Eldorian Scroll fragment was a highly–
coveted item in the traditional martial arts sphere. Xandros was actually going to pass this treasure ove
r to him?
He was not even close with Xandros. They had only met two or three times.
Caspian could notprehend how Xandros could trust him so much that he would pass the Eldorian
Scroll fragment to him.
“Stop ying with me, Mr. Stewart Senior. The Eldorian Scroll fragment is a treasure that’s coveted by
everyone. Why don’t you just keep it for yourself?” Caspian asked, seemingly
confused.
He was doubtful about what Xandros had said. This old cunning man. He was already over a
hundred years old.
Who knew what he was scheming?
He could just be rambling away without meaning what he said.
Caspian was being precautious. If it were
someone else, they would’ve been ted to be able to obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
“Little rascal, do you think I’d harm you? I can’t use it for myself.
“Our ancestors have set rules for us. We aren’t allowed to use the Eldorian Scroll fragment; we can onl
y protect it. Besides, the Eldorian Scroll fragment isn’t in my hands. It’s at the ancestral cemetery,” Xan
dros scorned.
He was perplexed as well. Why did his ancestors choose to do something like this?
If the Eldorian Scroll fragment could be retained for their family’s own use, they could improve their stre
ngth through some practice.
“You can just hand the Eldorian Scroll fragment over to the
vigers. They’re all people of the Stewart family estate; they must be trustworthy.” Caspian remained
adamant in not believing
Xandros.
Strictly speaking, Caspian was only an outsider. It was not fully appropriate for him to obtain the Eldoria
n Scroll fragment.
“I’ve thought of that before as well. But these vigers are just ordinary people. They can’t possibly pra
ctice using it,” Xandros said, feeling rather frustrated.
Xandros was extremely despondent. The Stewart family had been established for hundreds of years, b
ut they were gradually dwindling.
These vigers had never even been exposed to the traditional martial arts sphere.
Caspian seemed unwilling to ept it. This made Xandros even more disheartened.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be extremely excited.
“The Eldorian Scroll fragment is at the ancestral cemetery. Even if I want it, there’s nothing I can do to o
btain it!” Caspian said.
“Fine! I know what you’re thinking. I’ll just be straightforward with you.
“The reason I’m giving this to you is because you’re Willow’s husband, which makes you part of the Ste
wart family. Moreover, you’re really powerful, which means that you can protect the Eldorian Scroll frag
ment.
“If this Eldorian Scroll fragment were to remain here in the Stewart family estate, it’d only bring catastro
phe to the vige,” Xandros said.
He knew that if he did not make it clear, Caspian would continue probing until the end.
“Do you still have the engraved emerald pendant I gave you thest time?” Xandros asked.
“Of course,” Caspian said as he took the pendant out of his pocket.
“This emerald pendant is very important. You can only obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragment if you have th
is pendant with you.
“Otherwise, it’ll be useless even if you have millions of soldiers with you,” Xandros said in a serious ton
e.
Hearing this, Caspian cursed in his heart.
It turned out that Xandros had already nned everything.
“I can’t believe you deceived me, Mr. Stewart Senior,” Caspian said irritably.
Xandrosughed.
“It’s your fault for being so powerful,” Xandros said, smirking.
It was at this moment that an earth–shatteringly loud sound was heard.
Xandros’s expression hardened. “Something’s wrong. There seems to be something going on at the an
cestral cemetery!”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Xandros got up immediately and was gone in the blink of an eye.
He moved at the speed of light.
Caspian was stunned. Was this person even a centenarian?
Even an innate grandmaster would not be this fast.
Even though Caspian had been on the
battlefield for many years, he had never seen anyone with such speed before.
When he finally came back to his senses, he rushed out as well.
“Mr. Lynch, what happened?” Aster and Avery shouted urgently when they saw Caspian run
out.
“What are you waiting for? Follow me,” Caspian yelled loudly.
He caught sight of Xandros‘ figure and ran after him.
Even the traditional martial arts experts at the Stewart family estate noticed that something
was wrong.
Everyone began running toward the direction from where the loud noise was heard.
Less than a thousand meters north of the Stewart family estate was a tall mountain. It was
called Mount Evercloud.
That was the cemetery of the Stewart family. Any member of
the Stewart family would be buried there when they died.
The loud noise that was heard earlier hade from the mountain’s direction.
At that moment, many boulders were rolling down from Mount Evercloud.
Nixon had also appeared on Mount Evercloud with four thousand experts. Standing next to him was Ho
race. His arm had been bandaged.
Since he had always been pretty powerful, he was no longer in a critical condition.
Nevertheless, he had lost an arm forever.
“This is the cemetery of the Stewart family?” Nixon asked, frowning.
“That’s
right. The ancestors of the Stewart family estate were all buried here after they died,” Horace replied de
ferentially.
“It seems like the Eldorian Scroll fragment is around here somewhere!” Nixon said thoughtfully.
Horace took a few steps back. His face was filled with resentment as he looked at Nixon.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Nixon did not regard him as an equal. Ever since he got injured, Nixon had been acting all
Suddenly, hundreds of figures appeared in the distance.
They were all wearing masks. They looked mysterious.
“Shadow Gate!” Nixon said through gritted teeth.
Nixon was the head elder of the TMAA. He had heard of Shadow Gate.

“I
guess the people from the TMAA are also here. It has be more challenging for
us to snatch the Eldorian Scroll fragment,” Gilbert said when he noticed Nixon and the others.
The TMAA and Shadow Gate had always been at odds with each other.
This time, both sides wished to obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
Moreover, other forces had also appeared. It would be really difficult to obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragme

He suddenly figured that Caspian must be something. He had
enemies in Dhord City; he had offended Shadow Gate; and now, even the people
from the TMAA wanted to look for him.
It seemed like the entire Diatoran was filled with Caspian’s enemies.
“It seems like the Eldorian Scroll fragment is around here. We have to be prepared!” Gilbert
instructed.
More and more people had arrived at Mount Evercloud.
There were almost tens of thousands of people on the mountain.
Even the Morrison family from Dhord City hade.
There were ten people from the Morrison family. The leader was Jyn Morrison, the youngdy
The traditional martial arts experts could not help but steal nces at Jyn.
She was the most brilliant one among the younger generation of the Morrison family. She had already b
