Fan Hongde

"My daughter? You have seen my daughter? Where is she now?" Fan Hongde said as he grabbed into Yi Tianyun desperately. He didn't think that Yi Tianyun would have met with his daughter before. But soon after, he realised that he came out too aggressive because it involved his daughter and apologized for it. "I am sorry for showing such an embarrassing side of me, but I don't know you! I sometimes went too when it came to my daughter! So, where have you met her before?" Fan Hongde asked curiously.

"It was here on Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower!" Yi Tianyun replied honestly.

"What? Why would she come here?" Fan Hongde said as he was frustrated that his daughter went after him and came here. "What is going on? I already said to wait for my signal!" Fan Hongde said as he was frustrated with himself. This place has been taken over by Evil Spirit Race. It was a death trap! There was no way that his daughter would be safe, but it was all just on his own thought!

"She has waited too long for you. They thought that you've died and that is why your daughter came here to look for you as she doesn't believe that you were killed! Not only your daughter, but several of your elder also came here to raid the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower off of the Evil Spirit Race! They already occupied the 1st Layer City, and up to 4th Layer City has already been taken control by an allied phoenix race!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"How do you know about all this? did you talk to them?" Fan Hongde asked curiously.

Yi Tianyun then explained the gist of the situation to Fan Hongde about what happened as Yi Tianyun reached the tower, and Fan Hongde was surprised as so many things happened in the tower. What shocked Fan Hongde the most was how Yi Tianyun had reached the 8th Layer City while also killing 1 of the Evil Spirit Race's Divine Kings in the process!

"You are incredible, Little Brother Yi! You really reached 8th Layer City in a short time!" Fan Hongde said surprisedly. "I used to be an Elder here myself, but it took a long time for me to get there!" Fan Hongde said excitedly.

"Lord Fan, why are you trapped here? Are you also forcefully teleported here like me? Did you not know of the way getting out of this place?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously. Fan Hongde frowned a little as he didn't expect Yi Tianyun to ask such stuff. But it was true that staying in this place was no different than death!

"No, when I become the City Lord of the 5th Layer City, the Evil Spirit Race teleported me here! Because of my Bloodline, they couldn't use Judgement on me, so the only thing that they could do was to send me here! but as far as I know, there is no easy way out of here!" Fan Hongde said sadly.

He felt helpless as the rule that the tower enforced was hard to change. He was sent here by the power of two elders, so he couldn't resist it!

"So, there is a way to get out of here?" Yi Tianyun asked again.

"Of course, the only way that I know is to tear the space of this place! I can't do it to save myself! At first, this place was meant to be a cage for those Evil Spirit Race, but two powerful Divine King cultivators on their side tore the space of this place and free everyone!" Fan Hongde said honestly. "When I realised that they had torn the space itself to escape, my mind was blown! That was a testament to how powerful they were, which was beyond our ancestors' imagination!" Fan Hongde said shamefully.

"Indeed, they are strong! I never expected that they could tear the space inside Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower!" Yi Tianyun said as he was surprised himself. But then again, the Evil Spirit Race came from some unknown realm to begin with, bringing many powerful treasures and martial arts with them!

"Fortunately, after they came out of this space, they were restricted by the tower rules and couldn't kill everyone at the same time! But then again, we were forced to get out of the tower, or we will die slowly! The tower is our ancestor's legacy, and I am ashamed to say that we didn't use it to the best of its ability!" Fan Hongde said with his head down.

"When they first came out of this place, Didn't the tower suppress them?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"They were suppressed at first. Either they were thrown back to this place by the tower or struck by the Divine Thunder. But after they devoured some of our people, the tower stopped suppressing them, and they also had an item that could withstand the tower's Divine Thunder. In any case, they managed to hold on!" Fan Hongde said frustratedly.

"It's the bloodline! They devoured the Ancient Netherworld Divine King's bloodline from your people! They fooled the tower by having the bloodline in their blood! The Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower doesn't have any Tool Spirit to help identify the Evil Spirit Race, after all!

"Yeah, we realised that it was bloodline too, but we didn't know that it would make them so much more powerful! It's pointless to make a move now because of that. Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower couldn't do anything to them!" Fan Hongde said solemnly.

"It's fine. I will be the one that exterminate those pesky bloodsuckers." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"How would you do that!" Fan Hongde said as he was confused as Yi Tianyun was still so young but already so powerful.

"That's not the issue right now. The only problem here is how we should control the entire Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower after we get out of this place. If we can't do that, we'll have a hard time later!" Yi Tianyun said honestly. The rules of the tower were absolute, so even if Yi Tianyun became an Elder of the tower, he still had to follow the rules. The only way to decimate the entire Evil Spirit Race on this tower was to become a Tower Lord!

"There is a way! They couldn't teleport anyone again as they just teleported you in here. After we get out, you should take me to the 8th Layer City, and I will take the Tower Lord assessment! If I pass the test, I will become Tower Lord immediately and remove them from the tower!" Fan Hongde said confidently.

Yi Tianyun smiled as he saw that method was doable! "But have you already reached the elder rank?" Yi Tianyun asked as he noticed that Fan Hongde didn't have the 8th Flame Imprint on his arm.

"It's fine. As long as I release my stored flame, I will reach the 8th Flame Imprint immediately!" Fan Hongde said as he waved his hand and a flame imprint appeared on his forehead, showing the sign of the 8th Flame Imprint! This way of storing the flame imprint was unexpected by Yi Tianyun, but surely the master of the flame imprint would be able to do such a thing!
