Chapter 6150: Can Understand Some

Seeing this, the East City Lord and the others kept persuading the South City Lord to compromise as well.

They were close; otherwise, they would not have become the City Lords of Evil Ghost City together.

Under their persuasion, the South City Lord finally compromised and was willing to hand over his soul blood.

The South City Lord's soul blood was very powerful; Du Yichun could not control it, so Xiao Fan took charge of it personally.

Moreover, given Du Yichun's strength, it was simply impossible for him to make the South City Lord obey him.

"Alright, now I ask you, where is the entrance to the Imperial Tomb of Immortal Emperor Hongyu?" Xiao Fan asked.

"The entrance to the Imperial Tomb? What is that?!" the South City Lord asked in surprise.

"Where did you obtain the Power of the Imperial Dao that you Cultivate?" Xiao Fan asked.

"In… my Secret Room," the South City Lord said in a low voice.

In the past, there was no Evil Ghost City in the Endless Plains.

The East City Lord, West City Lord, North City Lord, and South City Lord were close friends and fled to the Endless Plains together.

Later, they accidentally discovered a part of the Legacy of Immortal Emperor Hongyu.

To hide the truth from others, they established Evil Ghost City.

But because the Legacy of Immortal Emperor Hongyu was too profound, only the South City Lord was able to continue to Cultivate and comprehend it in the end.

Consequently, the major and minor affairs of Evil Ghost City were basically handled by the East City Lord, North City Lord, and West City Lord.

As for the South City Lord, he was always in secluded Cultivation.

"Take me to see it." Xiao Fan stood up.

The South City Lord gritted his teeth and nodded.

Afterwards, he led Xiao Fan to the Secret Room where he practiced secluded Cultivation.

Upon entering the Secret Room, Xiao Fan sensed the aura of the Power of the Imperial Dao.

The South City Lord's Secret Room was a passageway; as they went deeper, inscriptions left by Immortal Emperor Hongyu were engraved on the surrounding stone walls.

The South City Lord had engraved these inscriptions into his own body.

"You are quite bold to dare to use such a method," Xiao Fan said slowly.

"For the sake of power, what is there to fear?!" the South City Lord said.

"That is true," Xiao Fan nodded.

Soon, they reached the end, where a huge stone tablet blocked the way forward.

"This is all there is to this place; I once tried to open the stone tablet, but failed," the South City Lord said in a deep voice.

He confessed that he once thought if he mastered all the Power of the Imperial Dao, he might be able to enter.

But in the end, the South City Lord was still unable to open the stone tablet.

Xiao Fan looked at the characters on the stone tablet; they were obscure and difficult to understand.

"They should be ancient characters from the previous era…" Xiao Fan murmured, gently stroking the stone tablet.

If his guess was correct, opening the stone tablet would open the Imperial Tomb.

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly and turned to look at the South City Lord.

"You Cultivate here, and you have reached this level just by comprehending the Power of the Imperial Dao?" Xiao Fan asked.

"What are you trying to say?!" Hearing this, the South City Lord's expression darkened.

"Are there no other secrets here?!"

"Other secrets? What secrets?!" The South City Lord looked surprised.

"Never mind, it does not matter." Xiao Fan waved his hand, signaling the South City Lord not to be nervous.

He gently touched the stone tablet and discovered a few gaps.

These gaps were Acquired, not part of the stone tablet itself.

Xiao Fan took out a Jade Slip and contacted Immortal King Ting Yue to inform her of the situation here.

"That is correct, this place is the entrance to the Imperial Tomb; in seven days… the Imperial Tomb will open."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan exhaled and memorized the ancient characters on the stone tablet.

"South City Lord, do you understand the meaning of these ancient characters?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Hmm? I can understand some of them," the South City Lord nodded.

"How do you understand them?"

"I comprehended them on my own."

"On your own?!" Xiao Fan frowned.

Seeing that Xiao Fan did not believe him, the South City Lord explained: "That is right, I comprehended them on my own. We came here together, but they could not comprehend them; only I was the exception."

"When I see the ancient characters here, I seem to understand their meaning in my mind."

At this moment, the voice of Immortal King Ting Yue appeared in Xiao Fan's mind.

"He is not lying; that is the method of Immortal Emperor Hongyu—those who are fated will obtain it."

"So that is how it is." Xiao Fan stroked his chin and nodded.

Afterwards, Xiao Fan and the South City Lord left the place.

Immortal King Ting Yue said that the Imperial Tomb would open in seven days.

In other words, he still had seven days to prepare.
