After a sword was sheathed, its energy still lingered. It showed not only the swordsman's mastery of the skills but also the higher cultivation of himself.
Henry looked at the aged figure standing on the further away ground.
Verrail turned around and asked, "Young man, why are you here?"
Henry answered, "I sensed something has changed. So I got here and check."
Verrail looked Henry up and down and asked, "Is Sanford dead?"
Henry wasn't surprised that Verrall mentioned Sanford. He shook his head, but then nodded, giving Verrall an ambiguous answer.
Although Henry didn't say a word, Verrall had got his answer.
There was a look of desolation in Verrall's eyes. "Being a walking dead in Mountain Kunlun is such a pathetic option. The once hero can't even leave an ice-cold cave now."
Henry shook his head, "Everyone has their own ways of living. He is waiting for an opportunity.
There's nothing pathetic about it."
Verrail smiled, "You see things much clearer than I do. Come in, get yourself some soup."
"I'm good."
Henry refused the invitation, "I'm just here to find out what caused the changes. I think I'd better get to work."
"It's so good to be young, always energetic."
Verrall sighed. "Well, for the sake of your status, I think you should know these things. What are you looking for?"
Henry asked, "I just want to know, does this tomb have anything to do with the underground palace in the city?"
Verrall nodded, "They are connected."
Henry continued, "What has changed here?"
"The change just happened a moment ago."
Verrall whipped out his hand which was holding the sword. The sword swirled in the mid-air and stuck in the ground beside Henry's foot.
Henry took a look at the sword and asked, "What's in the tomb?"
Verrall opened his mouth, "Inheritance."
"Thank you, master."
Henry held his fists in front of his chest to Verrall and turned to leave.
"You don't take the sword?"
Verrall was surprised.
"No, thank you."
Henry shook his head, "I have too many enemies. If I take the sword, I'm afraid I'll never have a peaceful day."
Verrall asked, "Do you know what the sword represents?"
Henry rubbed his nose and said, "I can guess a little. Some people had mentioned a sword to me often. I believe that on the verge of chaos, this sword should be very important to this world."
"You're not tempted?"
