Two people walked into the room.

Xu Taiping had seen these two before.

They were Ghost General Number Three and Ghost General Number Eight.

"Hey!" Xu Taiping greeted the two of them. Although he didn't know why they were here at night, he had seen them before, and Xu Taiping was essentially a very polite young man.

Number 3 and Number 8 seemed to be a little surprised that Xu Taiping would greet them, but soon after, they also greeted him.

"You killed the owner of this place?" Ghost General # 3 looked at the corpse lying on the ground and asked.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded, then asked, "It's already so late, why aren't you guys staying in the ring? What are you doing here?"

"Let's go out for a patrol." The eighth Ghost General explained, "It's our turn tonight to patrol, so we have to pay attention to the situation in the City of Fear. We have to deal with any unexpected incidents, and report to the Ghost King."

"So that's how it is, why don't we sit together?" Xu Taiping said.

"That's not convenient!" Ghost General # 8 shook his head, "We only saw that there was light here, so we came to take a look. We are going somewhere else soon."

"I would like to sit here." Ghost General # 3 smiled and said, "Number 8, you can go patrol by yourself. I'll roast the fire here."

"Alright!" Ghost General # 8 nodded, then said to Xu Taiping, "# 3 will sit with you guys, I'll go out and patrol first."

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded.

After which, Ghost General # 8 turned around and left, and Ghost General # 3 walked to the edge of the fire and sat down.

"It's still warm here. It's so cold outside!" As he spoke, he extended his hands towards the bonfire.

The flames rose very high, almost wrapping Number Three's hand inside. However, Number Three was not afraid at all. Steam started to rise from his hand, and it seemed that it was indeed very cold outside.

"Ghost King, what kind of person is he?" Xu Taiping suddenly asked.

"Oh?" Ghost General # 3 looked at Xu Taiping and said in surprise, "You aren't interested in me at all? You're not asking me, but you're asking Ghost King the moment you open your mouth? "

"I don't know what I can talk to you about, because I'm not familiar with you. Of course, the key is that I don't have any interest in you." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Have you always been this honest? From the looks of your face, you should be wearing a human skin mask. " Ghost General # 3 said.

"You can even see that?!" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Of course, I came out early to live." Ghost General # 3 said.

"How old are you?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Eighteen years and eight months, to be exact." Ghost General # 3 said.

"I didn't know anything when I was your age." Xu Taiping said.

"I don't understand anything now either!" Ghost General # 3 said.

"At least you know what a real person's face is, and what a face with a human skin mask is like." Xu Taiping said.

"Hahaha, what you're saying is quite interesting. Right, what you asked me just now, I haven't answered you. I'll answer you now, where's Boss Ghost King? He's a very ambitious person." Ghost General # 3 said.

"Ambition?" What was his ambition? He has already become the Ghost King, and is already the king of this city. What is there to be unsatisfied about? " Xu Taiping asked.

"Will the human heart be satisfied?" Ghost General # 3 asked.

"The human heart naturally isn't satisfied." Xu Taiping said.

"That's right, you said it yourself, the human heart will not be satisfied, and the Ghost King will not be satisfied either." That's right, you said it, the human heart will not be satisfied, and the Ghost King will not be satisfied. Ghost General # 3 said.

"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow and asked, "Ghost King, who gave up on him?"

"His master." Ghost General # 3 said.

"His master? Who is his master? " Xu Taiping asked.

"I don't know who his master is either. The Ghost King said before that his master is one of the greatest people in the world and his master has taken in many disciples, and each one of them is one of the top people in the martial arts world. The Ghost King is the only one his master has chased out of his sect." Ghost General # 3 said.

"Every one of his master's disciples is one of the top figures in the martial arts world?" After Xu Taiping heard this, he suddenly thought of someone and asked, "Is his master's disciple called God of Heaven, War God, Xue Ba and the others?"

"How do you know?" The third Ghost General asked in surprise.

"How would I know?" Xu Taiping covered his forehead and laughed, "These people are all top figures in the martial arts world today, and I know that they are all martial brothers. I really never thought that the Ghost King would actually be the senior and junior of these people, they never said anything about it. "

"Because Boss Ghost King was chased out of his sect, his fellow brothers will not acknowledge him." Ghost General # 3 explained.

"How do you know so clearly?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because the Ghost King told us about these things. He said that one day, he would kill all of his fellow disciples one by one. Only by doing this can we prove that his master kicked him out of the sect was the biggest mistake!" Ghost General # 3 said.

"Kill these people? Was the Spirit King joking? Each one of them had a combat strength of over 80,000, especially Zhao Qingshan, whose combat strength has already surpassed 90,000. How could the Ghost King possibly kill them? " Xu Taiping shook his head.

"A battle strength of 80,000?" What is that thing? " Ghost General # 3 asked out of curiosity.

"That's something China has introduced all over the world called the Strength Evaluation System, which can directly quantify your combat strength. You're still young, but I don't recommend you to stay here. Although this place can help you become stronger, it can also help you deviate from the world. Xu Taiping asked.

"Me? My goal is to kill Boss Ghost King. " Ghost General # 3 said with a smile.

"Kill the Spirit King?!" Xu Taiping looked at the third Ghost General in shock and asked, "Are you sure?"

"That's right. One versus one, kill the Spirit King. This is my chance." But this is too difficult, I entered the City of Fear when I was more than 16 years old, and wanted to kill the Ghost King Boss, but I couldn't do it, and then I kept on getting stronger and stronger, and now that I's already 18 years old, I still can't succeed, it's really annoying! " Ghost General # 3 sighed.

"Your family?" What family are you? " Xu Taiping asked.

"Secret." The third Ghost General winked at Xu Taiping with a smile, then said, "I've already been running out of time for eight months. The third Ghost General winked at Xu Taiping with a smile, then said," I've already been running out of time for eight months.

"Like me?" Xu Taiping asked.

"You? You cannot kill Ghost King Boss, only I can. " Ghost General # 3 shook his head.

"Does the Ghost King know that you want to kill him?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I know. Boss Ghost King said that the reason he left me by his side was to let me stimulate his continuous improvement. Boss Ghost King is actually quite a nice person. It's just that sometimes he's a little paranoid." Ghost General # 3 said.

"Then why did your family let you kill the Spirit King? Is it just a family mission? " Xu Taiping asked.

"Yeah." Ghost General # 3 nodded, "This is just a simple family mission. Our family is a very magical family, the children in the family have to start accepting the family mission after turning 16. Under normal circumstances, they have to complete the mission by 18 years old, but sometimes it can also be delayed, for example, when the goal is difficult to achieve, we can delay it until the target is killed. I heard that my brother accepted a mission from the family last month, so his mission became even more difficult. The target of the family is the richest man in Asia, I don't remember his name, but I heard that he was very powerful. "

"Asia's richest man?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, then said, "Are you sure your family wants him to kill the richest man in Asia?"

I don't remember too clearly. Half a month ago, my brother came to find me and said that he's going to China to look for this guy called Xu. I think he's probably in trouble. Ghost General # 3 sighed.

"Your family is really magical. They actually sent a teenage child to kill the wealthiest man in Asia. Isn't that just asking him to die? Do you know how powerful the richest man in Asia is? 70,000 yuan! Among all the warriors in this world, he is ranked in the top ten, do you know? " Xu Taiping said.

"Top ten among all the fighters in this world's nations? Hehe, although I don't know how you got that ranking, but … You can be sure of one thing, those powerful fellows in our family, you definitely aren't part of it. Not only our family, there are also many other powerful people, but you definitely aren't part of it. " Ghost General # 3 said.

"The Strength Evaluation System has been promoted all over the world." Xu Taiping said.

"You don't understand." Ghost General # 3 shook his head and said, "Do you know of the second world?"

"Got it." Xu Taiping nodded, "Outside of us, if your battle strength exceeds 60,000, you can enter the second world."

"Oh, you are considering whether to enter the second world in terms of combat strength.

Estimating it, if 60,000 battle prowess was the standard for entering the second world, then … 90,000 battle strength, that should be the standard for entering the third world. " Ghost General # 3 said.

"The Third World?" Xu Taiping looked at the third ghost general in shock. He had never heard of a third world before.

(Two o'clock in the afternoon. Three more chapters.) Our baby sleeps and kicks quilts, so there's always someone next to him every time he sleeps, and he looks for me or me, except for Gran. He doesn't look for anyone else, not even Mom, so every morning when Gran gets into trouble, I have to sleep next to my bag. That's how it was this morning, otherwise I would have been able to finish writing this chapter at around 10 o'clock and would have ended up sleeping with the baby until around 11 o'clock. For me, there are some things that are more important than writing a book, so if I am unable to update this chapter on time, please forgive me.)
