"What? Sword slave?"

Wang Pingbei's reaction was greater than Xiao Chen's reaction just now.

After all, Xiao Chen had made a lot of guesses, so it can be said that he was mentally prepared.

But Wang Pingbei didn't know much, so he was naturally very surprised when he heard the news.

"Yes, Sword Slave, confirm that Xuanyuan Realm is the dojo of Emperor Xuanyuan."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Blacksmith Zhang, including the ghost king, are the guardians here."

"The ghost king too? He... isn't he doing business outside all day? What is he guarding?"

Wang Pingbei frowned.

"Eh... that's not clear, anyway, his ancestors also followed Emperor Xuanyuan."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Besides, you don't have to stay in Xuanyuan Town to be considered as a guardian... Do you have to perform your duties, for example, he is in charge of intelligence outside?"

"Okay, then what?"

Wang Pingbei was a little excited, and finally confirmed that this place is the ashram of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Before, they suspected it was, but there was not much evidence.

It's different now!

"Then blacksmith Zhang asked me to cooperate, but I refused."

Xiao Chen replied.

"Why? As guardians, they must know some secrets. It must be beneficial to cooperate with them."

Wang Pingbei frowned.

"Why don't you think about it, why should they cooperate with me as guardians?"

Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and said slowly.

"It's also... Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo is present, and they are the ones who are most likely to be inherited. Why should they cooperate with outsiders?"

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"By the way, do they know how to enter Xuanyuan Realm?"

"I probably don't know. After all, it is passed down from generation to generation, and many things may be lost."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"I really know, there is no need to cooperate with me..."

He didn't really believe in the 'rules' that blacksmith Zhang said, their guardians couldn't touch the inheritance.

How many years have passed, this rule... who will abide by it?

"Brother Chen, if you don't cooperate with them, are you sure?"

Wang Pingbei hurriedly asked.

"It's not necessarily non-cooperation, it's just that I haven't agreed for the time being."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Walk."

"Where are you going?"

"Talk to the ghost king."

"Will the profiteer say that?"

"Hehe, just chat casually."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"He's the known Guardian, after all."

"..."

The two came to the place where the ghost king set up a stall, and he was indeed there.

This made Xiao Chen feel a little bit emotional, he really looks like a businessman.

Following the vision of Emperor Sea, there were more people in Xuanyuan Town, and the atmosphere became impetuous.

But the ghost king is good, just like a normal person, how to set up a stall, or how to set up a stall.

This xinxing, this concentration, is definitely not an ordinary person.

"You don't go to Dihai, why are you here?"

The ghost king was drinking, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei, a little strange.

"Hehe, didn't senior also go?"

Xiao Chen smiled and sat beside him.

"I'm a businessman, not a fisherman. What do I go to the beach for?"

As the ghost king spoke, he took another sip of wine.

"It's a pity. Most people have gone to the beach. There are fewer people here, and the business is affected."

"Hehe, when they get the crystal nucleus, why don't they come and sell it to you?"

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

"That's enough, most people won't sell the crystal nucleus... But, you reminded me, maybe I should go to the beach to set up a stall."

The bearded man's eyes are slightly bright.

"Not to mention, there is a lot of traffic over there."

"You really are a businessman."

Xiao Chen was speechless.

"That is."

Ghost King nodded.

"What are you here for? You're not here to take care of my business, are you? Look, what do you want?"

"Don't be in a hurry, there is something I'm curious about, and I want to ask Senior."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"What did your ancestors do with Emperor Xuanyuan? Could it be that they were also in business?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the ghost king's eyes flashed, and his smile was slightly restrained.

"What did Blacksmith Zhang tell you?"

"Yeah, I went to see him blacksmith and chatted casually."

Xiao Chen wasn't full either, not to mention he couldn't hide it at all.

"What are you going to do, old man?"

The ghost king looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"It's nothing, just like you, want to cooperate with me."

Xiao Chen smiled even wider.

"Guess, did I agree?"

"should not."

Ghost King shook his head.

"Didn't you say that you want everything?"

"Yeah, I didn't agree, but I didn't completely refuse..."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Because I don't know what to do, the first thing I don't understand is why you choose me to cooperate."

"I don't know him. I'm looking for you because I think we hit it off."

The king of ghosts.

"Fate? You don't even believe yourself?"

Xiao Chen pouted.

"Don't say it's because of the map, because I'm not the only one who knows the contents of the map... There were so many people in the auction at that time, others couldn't remember it."

"Then why do you think it is?"

Ghost King smiled.

"Is it because I have a mysterious origin and my talent is not bad? If you cooperate with a big force, you won't take any advantage, but I am different."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.

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

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wang Pingbei's expression changed, and he looked at the ghost king with vigilance.

"Thinking too much, with your strength, it is not so easy to kill."

Ghost King shook his head.

"As for your claim that your origin is mysterious, it's indeed a bit mysterious... I've traveled to the Outer Heavens, and I've never heard of the Three Realms Mountain, but it must be extraordinary to be able to cultivate a talent like you."

"Hehe, maybe I'm thinking too much... Neither of the two seniors are extremely vicious people, how could they be like this."

Xiao Chen also smiled.

"..."

Wang Pingbei next to him was speechless, why don't you change your face?

"Whether it's me or Zhang Tiejiang, the understanding of Xuanyuan Realm is not comparable to other forces..."

The ghost king said again.

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

"Well, you can't guard yourself."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Can you change the word? This word should not be used here."

The ghost king's face twitched.

"I'm poor in knowledge, so I can't think of anything else for a while, anyway, you just know what it means."

Xiao Chen smiled.

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

"Who can be sure, there is nothing?"

Ghost King said quietly.

"For Emperor Xuanyuan, we have heard from our parents and even our ancestors since we were young... The influence established since childhood is enormous."

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

Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked again.

"Hehe, where do you get the confidence to feel that you are the only one?"

Ghost King smiled.

"I don't know Blacksmith 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 smiled even wider.

"If you want, I have a three-point chance to reap great opportunities."

"Only three points?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"It's all fake for you to be a hero in this world? Three points, the probability is already extremely high."

Ghost King shook his head.

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

When he said this, someone just came to the stall, so he shut up.

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat, aren't he and Zhang Tiejiang the two guardians?

From the ghost king, can he know who the other guardians are?

But someone came, and the ghost king obviously didn't intend to say anything more.

After a while, the person left.

"Senior, you didn't finish talking just now."

"Oh, the other guardians may know something, after all, the situation of the ancestors of each family is different."

Ghost King said casually.

"How many guardians are there?"

Xiao Chen hurriedly asked.

"I heard that in the earliest days, there were dozens of them, all of whom were followers of Emperor Xuanyuan... With the changes of the times, some people became extinct, etc. In various situations, there are only a dozen left."

The ghost king said slowly.

"In our generation, even less..."

"I heard that someone left?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"Yes."

Ghost King nodded.

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

"Why is there no news?"

Xiao Chen asked a question that he had vaguely guessed.

"What do you say?"

The Ghost King looked at Xiao Chen and asked back.

"died?"

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, you have to die if you leave... the remaining guardians will not let go, this is also the rule."

Ghost King nodded.

"We have to keep the secrets here, unless one day, when the time comes, Xuanyuan Realm will come out on its own."

"It's not a crime for them to leave, is it?"

Xiao Chen sighed.

"Born here, one has a responsibility, and evading this responsibility is a death penalty."

The ghost king's tone was light.

"Back then, I killed a person with my own hands. He grew up with me...and I, having drawn lots, will personally deal with him."

"..."

Xiao Chen looked at the ghost king, and his heart was turbulent.

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 the others because of some illusory rules... would he be able to do it?

he can not!

But the ghost king killed him!

"You...really killed?"

Wang Pingbei was also very disturbed, 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.

And he, just outside the courtyard gate, did not stop him.

"if not?"

Ghost King shook his head.

"Why are you telling me this? It's been so many years ago...Let's go, go to the beach."

"What are you doing at the beach?"

Xiao Chen asked subconsciously.

"Go to set up a stall, isn't it your suggestion?"

As the ghost king said, he put all the things on the stall into the yellow leather gourd.

"Senior, how many guardians are there now?"

Xiao Chen got up.

"Did Blacksmith Zhang tell you?"

The ghost king raised his eyebrows.

"No, I just talked about you and him."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Hehe, he didn't say anything, why do you think I will tell you?"

The ghost king smiled and took a big gulp of wine.

"I told you, isn't that adding competitors to yourself? What if they also want to cooperate with you?"

"..."

Xiao Chen was speechless, because he didn't tell himself this?

"Don't ask, if Xuanyuan Sword is really going to come out in this vision, then they will appear...not all of them are in the town."

The ghost king waved his hand and walked towards Dihai.
