Chapter 6431: Ghost Duke

Where did they go?!

"I'm certain there's no aura of life. No, wait… could it be…" Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly lit up as a thought occurred to him.

A lack of life aura didn't mean there was no Death Qi.

Immortal King Ghost Mother cultivated the Laws of the Ghost Dao, and the entire Blood Flame Sect was the same; they were incredibly sinister.

Xiao Fan wasn't skilled in the Laws of the Ghost Dao, but he could use the Power of the Imperial Dao to disrupt the entire Earth-Moan Land and search for any instabilities.

Boom!

"Found it!" Xiao Fan suddenly looked toward the west and took a step forward, his figure vanishing.

"Who… who has come to this place… who is it?"

To the west of the Earth-Moan Land, there was a cage constructed from magma.

Inside the cage, countless pitch-black iron chains bound a man.

"You?!" Xiao Fan arrived at the scene and stared at the person before him in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief.

"Who are you? Why have you come here?" the imprisoned man asked coldly.

"Me? Hehehe… I came to see you. I was curious about who was suppressed in this place," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile.

"Hahaha… Curious? You're no ordinary person! This isn't a place one can reach just by being curious," the man laughed.

"Indeed, reaching this place is certainly not easy. But after seeing you, I think it was worth it." Xiao Fan's sharp gaze remained fixed on the man.

"What is your relationship with Immortal King Ghost Mother?!"

"Hehehe… What grudge do you have with Ghost Mother?!" The man slowly raised his head and looked coldly at Xiao Fan.

The aura Xiao Fan emitted was clearly that of the True Immortal Spirit Realm.

And yet, it gave the man the feeling that this person was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

"A grudge? Hahaha… How did you know?" Xiao Fan laughed.

"By seeing you, I can sense it. That is Ghost Mother's emotion," the man said.

"Interesting, how interesting! You actually look exactly like Immortal King Ghost Mother! Hehehe… even the Origin aura you emit is the same." Xiao Fan laughed.

It was true.

The man before him looked identical to Immortal King Ghost Mother, and his aura was the same as well.

"Who on earth are you?!"

"Me? Hehehe… Why should I tell you?" The man sneered.

"Hehehe… You being imprisoned here must have something to do with Immortal King Ghost Mother, right?"

"What if it is, and what if it isn't?"

"I can set you free," Xiao Fan said calmly.

"Set me free? Hahaha… On what basis? Do you even have the strength?!" The man laughed wildly, as if he had heard the world's biggest joke.

"You can rest assured on that point; I have the strength." Xiao Fan extended his left hand, and the Power of the Imperial Dao began to emanate from his palm.

"This power… the Power of the Imperial Dao?!" The man looked at Xiao Fan in shock. "Who are you, really?!"

"You're not simple, recognizing the Power of the Imperial Dao at a glance! Truly interesting," Xiao Fan laughed. "Remember! I asked you first! Cooperate with me properly, and only then will I consider whether to help you."

Hearing this, the man let out a breath and tried to calm himself down.

After a moment's hesitation, the man nodded and spoke in a low voice, "There's no harm in telling you. My name is… Ghost Duke."

"Ghost Duke? Ghost Mother?!" Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment.

"That's right. Ghost Duke and Ghost Mother… Ghost Mother and I were originally one and the same."

"One and the same? Then why now…?" Xiao Fan became interested.

"Hehehe… This happened many long years ago." Ghost Duke sighed softly and began to recount the story of the past.

Ghost Mother and Ghost Duke were originally one entity—the same person.

He possessed transcendent talent and was exceptionally skilled in the Laws of the Ghost Dao; he could be called a genius of the Ghost Dao Realm.

Later, he researched a Secret Technique that allowed him to split into two and then merge back into one!!

Furthermore, after the split, if one person died, the other would remain unharmed.

This Cultivation Technique was excellent, equivalent to having an extra life.

Moreover, after the split, certain memories and sensations were shared between the two.

Thus, Ghost Mother and Ghost Duke came to be.

Then they went their separate ways, deciding that one day they would merge back into one and become a truly top-tier powerhouse.

"Hehehe… And then? What happened in between? Why didn't you merge?" Xiao Fan laughed.

"Afterward? Hehehe… Ghost Mother, she found an Opportunity first and became an Immortal King." Ghost Duke shook his head with a bitter smile.

Ghost Mother became Immortal King Ghost Mother and was granted territory by Immortal Emperor Wuliang.

Upon learning this, Ghost Duke was very happy.

This way, once they merged, their strength would surely be even greater, perhaps even giving them a chance to break into the Immortal Emperor Realm.

However, when Ghost Duke met Immortal King Ghost Mother, everything changed.

Immortal King Ghost Mother was no longer willing to merge with Ghost Duke.

The reason was that once they merged, the wills of Ghost Mother and Ghost Duke would combine.

Even though Ghost Mother had reached the Immortal King Realm, she wouldn't be able to suppress Ghost Duke's will, because the two of them were originally one.

"And then?!"
