"Report! Commander Yun Meng, a secret passage has appeared on my side."
After reporting, the armed personnel directly entered the secret passage.
The teams on his left and right also followed into the tomb passage.
Not long after, a super-giant square appeared ahead.
"I've never been here?" Chen Fan thought to himself, looking at the square with a hint of surprise, and prepared for battle at any moment.
"Chen Fan, where is this?" Bai Lin, who was following behind, immediately asked.
On such a vast, empty square, the entire Seventh District had not yet filled even half of it.
And the familiar voice from the sky echoed again...
"Welcome to the Eternal Plaza!"
Upon hearing the voice, Yun Meng and the many Golden Core experts from the Thirteenth District immediately readied themselves for an attack.
"May I ask who you are, senior!?" Yun Meng, taking the lead, said.
Hearing Yun Meng's question, the voice from the sky responded.
"I am the master of this ancient tomb, and I am like a god here."
"I am True Lord Chao Tian!!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
After all, few people in the current era dared to use "True Lord" as a suffix for their name. Even kings dared not proclaim themselves as such.
At this moment, True Lord Chao Tian's powerful pressure descended instantly.
It immediately pressed everyone down so that they could not lift their heads.
Yun Meng knelt directly, as did Bai Lin. Chen Fan, though capable of resisting the divine-level pressure, also knelt down.
"A true man knows when to bend and when to stand tall, and besides, this can be considered my ancestor."
As Chen Fan knelt, he thought this to himself. To deceive himself, one must first deceive the world.
At this moment, the voice in the sky continued to speak...
"Oh! There's a familiar aura among you!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be that I've been discovered???" Chen Fan thought to himself, but remained silent.
A telepathic message appeared in the consciousness of True Lord Chao Tian's residual soul.
"Please, True Lord Chao Tian, do not expose me. I will surely repay you handsomely in the future."
The sender of the telepathic message was none other than Chen Fan himself.
Beside Chen Fan at this moment, Bai Lin was worried about him, looking at him.
Hearing this, Yun Meng was also startled. Of course, he could not look up, as True Lord Chao Tian's pressure was still ongoing.
"Oh! My apologies, everyone. I must have sensed something incorrectly. Please forgive me," True Lord Chao Tian's residual soul said thoughtfully.
At this, Bai Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Fan also relaxed.
This statement also dispelled Yun Meng's doubts.
Yun Meng now truly believed that the armed personnel beside Bai Lin was just an ordinary armed personnel, not an undercover agent.
True Lord Chao Tian continued, "Do you know why you are here?"
Yun Meng, as the leader, immediately replied, "We are here to find clues left by our Thirteenth District's Left Divine Hall and information about the person who killed them."
True Lord Chao Tian paused.
"There is indeed such a person in my tomb, but you will have to find them yourselves!"
"Of course, I also hope you have the fortune to find them."
The voice ceased, and the pressure also disappeared.
Everyone then stood up.
"Did you hear what True Lord Chao Tian said?" Yun Meng said, using True Lord Chao Tian's words.
"We will definitely find the person True Lord Chao Tian mentioned, and we will have the fortune to find them!!!" Yun Meng continued.
Chen Fan knew that True Lord Chao Tian's words were directed at him, as True Lord Chao Tian's other residual soul, which had perished earlier, had met Bai Zhannian.
"Thank you, True Lord Chao Tian. This bow was not in vain!!" Chen Fan thought to himself.
Bai Lin also reacted. "Was True Lord Chao Tian speaking to you earlier?" Bai Lin asked quietly.
Seeing Bai Lin's sharpness, Chen Fan smiled and replied via telepathy, "You little dummy, you're so clever. Not bad, not bad, indeed, one follows their husband." Chen Fan teased her further through telepathy.
Hearing Chen Fan's answer, Bai Lin blushed.
She secretly replied to Chen Fan.
"You haven't even married me yet, why should I follow you!" Bai Lin said, feigning a bit of arrogance.
Before Bai Lin and Chen Fan could exchange sweet nothings, the square began to shake violently.
Yun Meng and the Golden Core experts immediately activated their energy shields for mass defense. However, the current situation was about ten times more terrifying than the previous one with the mermaid oil lamp.
The massive platform began to crack, and then four giant stone statues erupted from beneath the ground. The giant statues seemed to have already detected the energy defense barriers that several people had activated.
With a single punch, one of them struck beside the energy shield. The Thirteenth District expert who had erected the energy shield felt insulted.
He immediately ordered an attack.
Before they could clash head-on with the statues, the statues attacked purely with brute force, showing no trace of energy within their bodies.
Chen Fan understood at a glance that these giant stone statues were more powerful than the stone soldiers. The stone soldiers relied on numbers to win, while these stone statues relied on immense strength.
Each statue's combat power was at least at the early Nascent Soul stage.
Seeing that a Thirteenth District expert had ordered an attack, Yun Meng, to display his leadership, gathered his energy and leaped forward, delivering a heavy punch to a statue.
