269 Life Shard II (2/2)

However, just as his foot stepped forward, an icy voice that was infused with Life energy suddenly reverberated the quiet stone hall.

He halted his steps as he slowly lifted his head. His pupils slightly shrank gazing up in the air. There, a red lotus floated, and on top of the lotus, was a beautiful figure. She was currently gazing at him with a pair of clear and sharp eyes, which did not have even the slightest emotion on its surface.

From a short distance away, Knight gazed at the mysterious woman, whose bare soft as a baby's bottom feet stepped on the red lotus. Even a beautiful girl like Lia had to recognize her breathtaking beauty. Her clear eyes were like a calm and quiet lake, while her silver-colored dress aligned itself neatly against her almost perfect figure.

She possessed a stunning beauty, the kind of beauty that would shock one's heart and move one's soul.

As Lia's gaze swept over this girl, the awe in her eyes lasted for quite a while before it finally faded. However, Knight stood there with an indifferent expression on his face but he wasn't as calm as he looks because Don's life depends on him now.

”Hmm, I don't see your name anywhere around here, does this tomb belongs to your ancestor?”

Lia's neck air stood straight up when she heard him talking to a girl who was respected by Sterling himself. However, his tone didn't even contain the tiniest bit of fear or respect towards her. Lia couldn't see the girl's reaction to Knight through the veil.

”Even Sterling and the rest had taken a wrong step and fell into the trap of the formation, yet, you two have reached here, so you do indeed have some skill and the means to be arrogant” The veil on the mysterious woman's face lightly trembled, her melodious voice now had a tint of anger in it.

”Forcefully chasing away someone is not something Loretta is willing to do. Thus, I hope will not mind and leave the place peacefully

In the air, she bowed towards Knight, however, though her words were especially polite, Knight was able to hear the faint threat behind them.

Lia knew that although she looked polite and even sounded gentle, her heart was likely akin to black ice.

”Backoff!”

He simply said and for a moment a glint of anger flashed across her face.

Realizing that he wouldn't back off without a fight, she tried to determine his strength. Even though she was still a little doubtful on how these two had managed to enter this place, in the end, she was unable to believe that she can't defeat them. She had seen way too many young geniuses before, and hence, she also had the confidence that even if he stayed here, with her strength, she would be able to easily subdue him if he made any movements.

Therefore, the fact that she did not attack the moment she saw him and forcibly chased him out was actually sort of looking down on him from a certain point of view. This was because she believed that no matter what these two intended to do, it could not possibly affect her at all. And in her eyes, the disrespect he showed him was akin to a dog barking at the sun, so she didn't lose her temper.

Her eyes then slowly shifted away from Knight and Lia, as she looked at the ball of light that was floating above the stone coffin. She had likewise seen the Life Shard hidden within it, however, even in the face of such a treasure, only a few tiny ripples surfaced in her limpid eyes. On her face, no delight was displayed.

”I did not expect that I would truly find a Guardian Stone here”

Seeing her move forward, Knight turned back and reached out to grab the Life Shard before she could because he didn't want to get distracted in a fight in case someone steals the Life shard while he was fighting.

”STOP!”

When his hand was just a few inches apart from the Life shard, Loretta's voice sounded like a thunderous clap and forced him to take a few steps away.

Her glance caused Lia to shiver in fear. If a single gaze could kill a person, Knight would have died by now and looking at her Peak Grandmaster level magical fluctuations, she swallowed a mouth full of saliva and stared at Knight.

”This is my final warning, no matter how valuable this treasure is, you need to be alive to use it. If I were you, I will turn back and never come back”

A killing intent emerged in her eyes. Although Lia had only spent a little time with him, she knew very well that he's not the type who would back off, so she prepared herself for a battle.

”I do not respond to threats. I make them”
