Chapter 916 Deal

"The Martial Fire Tomb is full of dangers. It's filled not only with sacred beasts, but with traps as well. After all, it is Jules' tomb. That makes exploring it a great risk. Supposedly, many countless creatures, Jules' laboratory rats, died and turned into aggressive spiritual souls. They guard the Martial Fire Tomb and prevent any creature from setting foot inside," Katrina said.

"It sounds like a horrible place. But are you sure we can find the method to break the curse in that place?" Zachary said, looking at Katrina.

"I'm not sure. But it's our only hope. Sophie's injury has accelerated her aging. Her condition is much worse than it appears. I don't think she can hold on for too long," Katrina said, resting her eyes on Sophie.

"Is that so?" Zachary looked at Sophie. She did look like very different, very sick.

"I'm stronger than you think. You make it sound like I'm dying," Sophie retorted, not willing to admit her current situation.

"So, if there's a way in that place, I hope you can find it and lift Sophie's curse. You might run into trouble, but I hope that you can help her," Katrina told Zachary sincerely.

"Both of you have been good to me. Moreover, if you hadn't stood up for me, I wouldn't have been able to prove my innocence. Since you need me, I will do my best. But I have a condition." Zachary never did business without gaining something.

"Go ahead," Katrina and Sophie said as one after they looked at each other.

"I heard that the power of the Five Gods remains in the Five-God Tombs. I also think Jules' remaining power should be found in the Martial Fire Tomb too. I hope you can help me get Jules' power," Zachary proposed.

"Deal. We were born with great potential. Gaining the power of the Five Gods means nothing to us. So helping you get that power is fine to us," Katrina replied immediately.

"Then we've got a deal." Zachary nodded at them. He then asked, "When will we set out?"

"We will set off in half a month. We are selecting candidates to take part in the exploration of t

fe and sound?" Armand roared, simmering with fury. Those sitting to the side didn't dare to make a sound.

"I knew that he was a threat. I can't believe he would be so lucky to survive all that. I bet he was behind Warren's death. He must have been the one to exterminate the Blazing Lodge and our other branches," Nick, Armand's son, snorted coldly. Nick was also there.

"Zachary proved his innocence. He even handed over the letter and asked the Celestial College to unveil the truth. Where there is smoke, there is fire. I am afraid that they will find what really happened soon," Elijah, who had worked for three leaders of the Zi Clan, pointed out.

"Father, I think we should send a Sage Level elder to take that brat out. Then, there will be nothing to worry about," Nick offered.

"Young master, I know you are doing this for the sake of our clan, but I don't think that's a good idea. Now those in the Celestial College have begun to suspect us. If anything bad happens to Zachary, they will immediately blame us. Not to mention, Zachary is a Sage Level warrior. Getting rid of him wouldn't be that easy. On top of that, we can't afford to mess with the forces that have his back. If Master Katrina, Lady Evil, the Xiao Clan or the Qiu Clan of the Devil Kingdom made a move against us, we would be in grave trouble," Elijah said as he shook his head.
