Chapter 0769 Deliberate Release
Zhao Deyi desperately hoped that the figure who had crawled out of the coffin, the master of the Saint's Tomb, would intervene. However, his desire was only that—a wish. He had no means of commanding the master of the tomb to take any action.
Although the tomb guardian knew that the situation had developed unfavorably for them, he did not act as Zhao Deyi had hoped and step in to block Qi Tian. The guardian was acutely aware of his weakness: having lain in his coffin for centuries, his magical power had been almost completely depleted. With only a fraction of his power remaining, he could still posture and intimidate to frighten others and could retaliate with some magic if threatened, but were he to truly engage in battle with Qi Tian as Zhao Deyi suggested, his remaining power would be rapidly exhausted. Without any deterrent power left, he feared not just Qi Tian, but even Zhao Deyi might turn his spearhead against him.
