Chapter 1533: Chapter 1526
When Zhao Tianming woke up, he looked vibrant and lively, with no discomfort, showing that the Soul Gathering was extremely "successful."
The Ghost Lady was too lazy to bother with Xin Lin’s earlier offense.
"Thank you, Crown Prince, for your kindness. I will always remember it,"
Zhao Tianming supported the Ghost Lady as they left the Haotian Platform.
"No need for such courtesy, Ghost Lady. I’ve heard that some incidents have occurred in Wangjing City lately, so I’m relying on Fengdong to help investigate."
Prince Yuan politely sent the Ghost Lady off the Haotian Platform.
"If the Crown Prince has any needs in the future, do speak up. Crown Prince... let me offer you some advice, it would be wise for you to be cautious these days. Although you bear the Emperor’s Fortune, there is a black Ghost Energy above your brow, and it’s very powerful. It seems you’ve gotten yourself into some serious trouble."
The Ghost Lady glanced at Prince Yuan. As a Ghost Cultivator, she was adept at recognizing the aura on people.
Prince Yuan carried the Emperor’s Fortune and would certainly become the Human Emperor in the future.
This was why the Ghost Lady came back to find Prince Yuan.
However, the Ghost Lady heard some rumors suggesting that people like the Noble Princess Consort Zhu were colluding with ghosts to plan something against Prince Yuan.
The ghosts beneath Wangjing City, even the Ghost Lady avoided.
Those were ancient ghosts who had lived for countless years, close to becoming Ghost Immortals.
If they truly became Ghost Immortals, even if Prince Yuan were the Human Emperor, the Emperor’s Fortune wouldn’t be feared by Ghost Immortals.
"Thank you for the warning, Ghost Lady. I will certainly take care. The Hao Tian Festival is coming up in a few days, and I would like to invite you to come with Mu San and Young Master Tianming, to share in the festive spirit,"
Prince Yuan invited.
This invitation was something Xin Lin had suggested to Prince Yuan.
Otherwise, Prince Yuan wouldn’t randomly extend such invitations.
The Hao Tian Festival may be a celebration for all of Fuzhou, but few can actually enter the Haotian Platform.
The Ghost Lady readily agreed.
After sending the Ghost Lady away, Prince Yuan returned to find that Xin Lin was holding a ball of fire, a fireball.
Xin Lin was examining the ground, so focused she didn’t even notice his return.
"Third Sister, what are you looking at?"
Prince Yuan approached.
"Second Brother, what is this hole?"
As soon as the Soul Gathering ended, Xin Lin began searching for the source of Evil Qi.
She searched everywhere, and while the ground was very smooth apart from the markings, she only found this one hole.
The hole wasn’t large, about two fingers wide, with unknown depth, seemingly penetrating underground.
Xin Lin paid attention to it because she discovered that the markings on the ground, although complex and seemingly random, were interconnected and formed a large net. The end of these markings all led to this small hole.
Though she didn’t understand Spirit Arrays and the like, Xin Lin roughly knew that some powerful Arrays have what is called an Array Eye.
An Array Eye is the core area of an Array, determining its success or failure.
"This hole... didn’t seem to exist before. I remember now. It’s from the rain. Recently Wangjing experienced heavy rain for several days. Although the Haotian Platform is elevated, the layer underground was somewhat leaking. Patrol Guards discovered that the underground layer was soaked, so they got craftsmen to drill a drainage outlet here, this is it."
Once the drainage outlet was drilled, the underground layer indeed stopped flooding.
This was just a minor affair. Prince Yuan heard it mentioned in passing and didn’t pay much attention to it.
