The ghost king laughed.

"Is it because I have a mysterious origin and good talent? You will not take any advantage by cooperating with the big forces, but I am different."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Once you really find Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo and inheritance, do you think you can easily get rid of me, or even kill me, and monopolize the inheritance?"

After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Wang Pingbei's expression changed, and when he looked at the Ghost King, he suddenly became wary.

"Think too much. With your strength, it's not that easy to kill you."

The Ghost King shook his head.

"As for your saying that your origin is mysterious, it is indeed a bit mysterious... I have traveled all over the outer world and have never heard of the Three Realms Mountains, but to be able to cultivate a genius like you must be extraordinary."

"Haha, maybe I'm overthinking... Neither of the two seniors are extremely evil people, how could they be like this."

Xiao Chen also smiled.

"..."

Wang Pingbei next to him was speechless. Why are you changing your face?

"Neither I nor Zhang Tiejiang's understanding of Xuanyuan World is comparable to other forces..."

The Ghost King said again.

"He should have mentioned the 'rules' to you, right?"

"Well, you can't just watch and steal."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Can you change a word? This word shouldn't be used here."

The Ghost King's face twitched.

"I'm not very knowledgeable, so I can't think of anything else at the moment. Anyway, you just need to understand what it means."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"This rule...how can you still abide by it after so many years? Is there something in the Xuanyuan world?"

"Who can be sure that there is nothing?"

The Ghost King said quietly.

"As for Emperor Xuanyuan, we have listened to it from our parents and even our ancestors since childhood... This kind of influence established since childhood is huge."

"Besides me, have you ever thought about finding anyone else to cooperate with?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked again.

"Haha, where do you get the confidence to think that you are the only one?"

The ghost king laughed.

"I don't know about Tiejiang Zhang. Anyway, I have several candidates... Next, they should also come to Xuanyuan Town."

"..."

Xiao Chen's face darkened, what's wrong with my mentality?

"Of course, I like you the most."

The ghost king's smile became even wider.

"If you are willing, I am 30% sure that you will have a great opportunity."

"Only three points?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"You think you are a hero in this world, but it's all fake? Three points, the probability is already extremely high."

The Ghost King shook his head.

"Besides, it's not just me and Blacksmith Zhang..."

When he said this, someone happened to come to the stall, so he kept silent.

Xiao Chen's heart moved. Are he and Zhang Tiejiang not the only two guardians?

From the Ghost King, can he know who the other guardians are?

But now that someone is here, the Ghost King obviously has no intention of saying anything more.

After a while, the person left.

"Senior, you didn't finish what you just said."

"Oh, the other guardians might know something too. After all, the situations of the ancestors of each family are different."

The Ghost King said casually.

"How many guardians are there?"

Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.

"I heard that in the earliest days, there were dozens of them, all of whom were following Emperor Xuanyuan... As times changed, some people died, and under various circumstances, there were only a dozen or so left."

The Ghost King said slowly.

"In our generation, there are even fewer people..."

"I heard that someone left?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"Yes."

The Ghost King nodded.

"After all, not everyone can stick to their beliefs and persist..."

"Why is there no news?"

Xiao Chen asked a question that he had a vague suspicion about.

"What do you think?"

The Ghost King looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"died?"

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, you will die if you leave... The remaining guardians will not be let go. This is also the rule."

The Ghost King nodded.

"We have to keep the secrets here unless one day the time comes and Xuanyuan World comes into existence on its own."

"If they...leave, they won't be punished by death, right?"

Xiao Chen sighed.

"When you are born here, you have responsibilities. To escape this responsibility is a capital crime."

The Ghost King spoke calmly.

"Back then, I killed someone with my own hands, and he grew up with me...and I was chosen by lot, and I had to deal with him myself."

"..."

Xiao Chen looked at the Ghost King and felt waves in his heart.

Killed his own little boy with his own hands?

This...is a bit cruel.

Think about it, if he was asked to kill Bai Ye and others because of some illusory rule... could he do it?

he can not!

But the Ghost King was killed!

"You...really killed?"

Wang Pingbei was also very uneasy. He thought of his master.

Although he didn't kill it with his own hands, he watched Xiao Chen kill it with his own eyes.

But he was right outside the courtyard gate and did not stop him.

"if not?"

The Ghost King shook his head.

"Why are I telling you this? It all happened so many years ago... Let's go to the beach."

"What are you going to do at the beach?"

Xiao Chen asked subconsciously.
