"Heir Apparent."
Zhang Xinnian spoke up then. "There probably isn't a person inside this coffin!"
Huh?
Jiang Xiaobai was surprised at first, then gave a slight nod.
True enough. Who would put their dead in such a huge coffin, especially one this cumbersome?
But if there wasn't a person inside, what on earth was in there?
As he wondered, Liu Guanlan slowly emerged from the hall.
When Liu Guanlan reached the Bronze Coffin, the surrounding voices fell silent.
Liu Guanlan raised a hand and lightly patted the Bronze Coffin.
Thud!
The sound was deep and muffled. One listen was enough to tell that this was no ordinary bronze object.
"Everyone!"
Liu Guanlan swept his gaze around and said slowly, "I'm sure you all know what's inside."
"This thing has made round after round of our Blade-Questioning Towers, from the Northern Frontier to Jiangnan, from the Western Province back to our Capital City."
"Yet even now, no one has managed to take out what's inside!"
At those words, the expressions of many of the Wulin People grew even more eager.
Some tightened their grips on their blades, while others drew deep breaths, itching to step forward.
Clearly, whatever was inside held an immense allure for them.
Liu Guanlan was unsurprised by their reactions. With a faint smile, he said, "But today, I wonder whether any skilled hand here can manage it."
"The rules are the same as before."
"Twenty taels for one attempt. Of course... each person only gets one!"
At this point, Liu Guanlan placed a little more emphasis on his words. "If you can take out what's inside, then... it's yours."
"Heh, if you really could get that thing, never mind twenty taels-even two thousand would be worth it!"
"Exactly. I just wonder whether anyone will succeed this time!"
