After listening to Yu Haitang’s words, Chen Ming remained silent for a long time before asking a critical question, "Why are you telling me this, miss?"

On that day, when he and Su Zhining broke into Prince Zhenhai’s Mansion together, Shang Jianfei and Su Zhining’s master each gave him something, and while claiming to protect him, in reality, asked Su Zhining to monitor him. He had already guessed that the "Fiery Sun Divine Skill" he was cultivating had significant implications.

The advantage he gained was tremendous, and the price he needed to pay was merely to assist Shang Jianfei with something after breaking through to the Fourth Grade.

He knew there was a big problem involved, so after the competition on the "Cyan Cloud Ranking," his experience points had accumulated enough to enhance the "Yin Yang True Skill" to the sixth level, thus breaking through to the Fourth Grade.

However, knowing that what Shang Jianfei wanted him to do was definitely dangerous, he naturally wanted to delay.

Now, hearing what Yu Haitang said, confirming both sides, he felt that what she said was very likely true.

Even if she hid some crucial information, the matter of the Sea Suppression King’s death and the "Profound Fire True Skill" should be real.

What puzzled Chen Ming was why she would disclose such a big secret to him?

What was her purpose?

Yu Haitang, seeing the cautious and wary look on his face, seemed amused and smiled, "Do you think I am plotting for that Emperor of Eternal Life’s mysterious tomb?"

He countered, "Isn’t that so?"

"I’m self-aware after all. Every time the Emperor of Eternal Life’s mysterious tomb appears, it draws countless Divine Treasure Realm experts to fight over it, even those old monsters who haven’t appeared for hundreds of years. Below the Divine Treasure Realm, there’s simply no qualification to compete."

Chen Ming wanted to ask her, could it be that you’re interested in me? But recalling this woman’s ruthless nature, even breaking the legs of the maid who served her since childhood at her whim, he could only think about it in his mind.

Seeing his look of suspicion, Yu Haitang said, "My purpose is simple, just to muddy the waters."

By now, the tea had cooled, and two maids came over to change the teas for them.

After the maids left, she continued, "You must have inquired about my identity, right?"

Soon after, she saw the answer on the face of the man in front of her and said in a low tone, "You can’t even imagine the influence of the Yu Family. Even if my aunt took me to hide in Jiangzhou, the Yu Family wouldn’t let us go. When I was fifteen, Pan Zhiyuan, who had just been transferred to Jiangzhou, brought a message to my aunt, forbidding me from breaking through to the Third Grade. He said it was the meaning of the Yu Family."

"..."

Chen Ming knew that Pan Zhiyuan was the name of the First Grade Governor of the Six Gates in Jiangzhou.

A First Grade powerhouse, a provincial official personally bringing a message, demonstrated how terrifying the Yu Family’s influence was.

At this point, a trace of malevolence flashed in Yu Haitang’s eyes, "That old bastard dared to threaten me. I’ll turn Jiangzhou upside down and leave him with no place to die."

Seeing her murderous look, Chen Ming also felt some admiration.

Ordinary people threatened by such a big figure would probably be scared to death. She was not only unafraid but also intent on how to retaliate.

Quite gutsy.

Moreover, if what she said was true, she could indeed tear Jiangzhou apart. When the time comes, all the top experts would emerge, and Pan Zhiyuan, a mere First Grade, would be unable to control the situation.

If he tries to manage it, he might die on the spot.

If he doesn’t, and the court later holds him accountable, he would not have a good fate either.

Chen Ming suddenly said, "There is one thing I don’t understand."

When she looked over, he asked, "It’s just a mysterious tomb. Why do those top experts scramble to seize it?"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Haitang sized him up with some confusion, "Didn’t your master ever tell you about these matters?"

Your master, huh, I need to have one, to begin with.

Chen Ming felt a bit helpless as many people seemingly presumed he had a mysterious master behind him, which explained his rapid cultivation advancement.

The difference was that each person might imagine a slightly different master behind him.

He shook his head and said, "No."

Of course, such speculations were beneficial to him, and he naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to deny them.

If everyone believed he had a powerful master behind him, they would be wary of him and would not dare to act rashly against him.

Yu Haitang said, "The Emperor of Eternal Life spent his life exploring the Path of Longevity. It is said that before his disappearance, he explored nine Longevity Techniques in total, but these nine techniques had huge hidden pitfalls, so he sealed them separately."

She paused to glance at Chen Ming sitting opposite her and nodded, "That’s right, the locations where these nine Longevity Techniques are sealed are the legendary mysterious tombs. The ignorant think they are the Emperor of Eternal Life’s mausoleums, but in reality, they are places of sealing."

"So that’s how it is."

Chen Ming took a sharp breath, finally understanding the value of the Emperor of Eternal Life’s mysterious tomb, realizing that they sealed Longevity Techniques.

No wonder those top experts risked everything to snatch them. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Even with significant hidden dangers, the allure of immortality suffices to drive those old monsters nearing the end of their lifespans insane.

This really is troublesome.

His "Profound Fire True Skill" seems to be a significant element. Whether he likes it or not, he will be drawn into this vortex.

Chen Ming felt a bit of a headache.

After a while, he remembered one more thing, asking, "Now five mysterious tombs have already emerged, who got the things inside them?"
