The old man wore the garments of a king and had his eyes closed. Though his expression looked somewhat sinister and eerie beneath the green light, his eyes remained shut. There was no movement from his breath either. He looked like someone who had been dead for quite some time, utterly silent.
Yet everyone stared fixedly at the Jade Pendant on the old man's chest. As for the hat he wore, the gems set into it, and even the largest gemstone, none of them drew any attention.
The reason was that the Jade Pendant on the old man's chest was simply too dazzling, completely overshadowing all the other treasures.
Even an ordinary person with no appraisal qualifications could tell that this Jade Pendant had to be a treasure. Let alone everyone present—even if they lacked appraisal abilities, their eyes would not deceive them. That Jade Pendant was simply too captivating.
What frustrated everyone was that the Barrier kept them outside, while the old man on the stone platform showed not the slightest reaction.
Everyone's eyes had turned red with envy. Even if they could not obtain the Jade Pendant, it would be nice just to touch it.
Thus, everyone began preparing to attack the Barrier, hoping to break it so they could get a closer look at the Jade Pendant.
Just as everyone gathered their strength and prepared to strike, the ground beneath their feet shook as though an earthquake had begun.
The entire cavern hall trembled, and a crack appeared in the floor of the Great Hall. The Great Hall shook as well, shedding dust in clouds.
All the Ability Users immediately put up defenses during the shaking. The Martial Artists ignited their Blood Qi, wrapping themselves in it for a measure of protection.
