Xiao Chen left Blacksmith Zhang’s yard feeling quite uneasy.
Although Zhang Tiejiang didn't tell him much, he probably understood some of the situation from what he just said.
The descendants of the group of people who followed Emperor Xuanyuan back then... are guarding the Imperial Sea.
Moreover, it is their natural responsibility to protect them all the time.
As Blacksmith Zhang said, this is the shackles on the shoulders.
When Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo comes to light again, and his legacy is passed on, then their responsibility as guardians will be over, and the shackles will be opened.
"There is still a difference between being in the no-man's land and Kyuubi and the others..."
Xiao Chen shook his head, they guarded until death, while Blacksmith Zhang did it generation after generation.
What kind of belief is this that can be adhered to from generation to generation?
During this period, some people must have been unable to hold on... and left, right?
However, Blacksmith Zhang didn't mention it much, saying it was inconvenient to tell him.
"No, if someone leaves, then the news should have spread... It's not like the outside world can't confirm that there is Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo here after so many years."
Xiao Chen frowned, there was definitely something he didn't know about.
"Forget it, let's not study for now. I have gained a lot from this trip..."
Xiao Chen shook his head, turned and left.
In the yard, Zhang San stood behind Blacksmith Zhang.
"Master, why did you tell him so much?"
"Because I think the time has come."
Zhang Tiejiang replied.
"Then...why did you tell him so many lies again?"
Zhang San asked again.
"..."
Blacksmith Zhang's mouth twitched.
"Because the time has not come yet, there are some things that I cannot say yet."
"Ah? Has it arrived or not?"
Zhang San scratched his head, a little confused.
"Ahem...just go and do what you have to do."
Blacksmith Zhang coughed dryly.
"By the way, if you go to Dihai and meet Chen Xiao, try not to talk to him... That guy is very smart, I'm afraid he will deceive you."
"knew."
Zhang San responded.
"Then I'm going to Dihai."
"Go ahead and tell me if you have any news."
Blacksmith Zhang nodded.
"If you see that profiteer, stay away."
"clear."
After Zhang San finished speaking, he turned around to get the hammer and strode away.
"Has the time come? It's time for the remaining ones... to come to an end."
Blacksmith Zhang raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and whispered to himself.
…
After Xiao Chen left the back street, he didn't rush to contact Wang Pingbei and strolled around casually.
"The map... that's actually a map inside the Xuanyuan world? No wonder the Longteng Chamber of Commerce didn't find anything."
Xiao Chen muttered, took out the map and looked at it carefully.
Indeed, it is completely incompatible with Xuanyuan Town.
"This place... seems to be Luo Jian Peak?"
Suddenly, he looked somewhere and his eyes narrowed.
This is a very small corner, a corner that can be ignored.
He looked carefully and saw that on the side of Luojian Peak was the Imperial Sea, right?
"Li Xiunian said that they are almost sure that it is Xuanyuan World... because of Luo Jian Peak and Di Hai? Otherwise, why do you say that?"
At the auction at that time, Li Xiunian mentioned Xuanyuan World and Xuanyuan Town... In private, he told him more.
Although it is not certain, the Longteng Chamber of Commerce is almost convinced that there is a secret here.
Therefore, they took out the map to invite people from all over the world to come over... Maybe there will be some changes.
Otherwise, the Longteng Chamber of Commerce alone may not be able to do it no matter how much manpower, material, and financial resources it consumes.
As for eating alone... Longteng Chamber of Commerce knows very well that they cannot eat alone.
"Can't anyone eat alone? I really don't believe it..."
Xiao Chen muttered that he didn't want what he had worked so hard to get to be given to the forces in the world.
If other people in the ancient martial arts world get some of this, then he won't mind.
Heaven outside the sky... no way.
"Tiejiang Zhang, the Ghost King...and the unknown guardian."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, how many were there among these unknown guardians?
What happened to the guardians who left after so many years?
Is it because of some restrictions that you dare not mention more about Xuanyuan World?
Or...are they already dead?
Xiao Chen walked all the way, thinking about it, comparing himself with the map from time to time.
As long as Luo Jian Peak and Di Hai can barely compete.
The other things on this map have nothing to do with Xuanyuan Town.
"What Blacksmith Zhang said today may not necessarily be the truth... I can't completely believe it. I'll find the Ghost King later and make some insinuations."
While Xiao Chen was walking around, from time to time there would be strong men flying in the air, heading towards the Imperial Sea.
The sea monsters over there appear from time to time, causing a large number of practitioners to fight for and hunt them.
It's not so much a sea monster as it is chance.
There are more wolves and less meat...the practitioners can't get enough.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Chen would not join in the fun.
He came here for the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan. He looked down on these three melons and two jujubes, and did not bother to snatch them.
If he really went to rob it, wouldn’t he lose his reputation as ‘Chen Xiao’?
"Huh? Isn't that Wang Pingbei? Why are you so sneaky?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked up and saw Wang Pingbei, a little strange.
He didn't step forward immediately, but watched from a distance.
He found that Wang Pingbei was staring at a place.
"This place... seems to be the Shanhai Tower, right? What is he doing here?"
Xiao Chen took a few glances and recognized it.
Ten minutes passed and Wang Pingbei didn't leave. Xiao Chen couldn't wait any longer and walked forward.
"What are you doing here? Who are you looking at?"
The sudden sound startled Wang Pingbei.
When he turned around and saw it was Xiao Chen, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on the handle of the knife.
"Brother Chen, why are you here?"
"I'm just taking a stroll, but I can see you sneaking around here from afar..."
Xiao Chen said and glanced towards Shanhai Tower.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm... sneaky? Is it obvious?"
Wang Pingbei was stunned.
"I think I'm pretty good at hiding it."
"What a heck, I just need to put a sign on my body saying you're here to stare at people."
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"Um... I'm just wondering if there's any movement in Shanhai Tower and who has been sent here."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"There is movement over at Qingyun Tower, and I believe there will definitely be movement over at Shanhai Tower."
"What's going on in Qingyun Tower? Is Qingyunzi here?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"No, Qingyunzi didn't come, but his bastard is here... This bastard should have come to help Qingyunzi. Maybe it won't be long before Qingyunzi arrives."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"You bitch? Who is he? Please tell me carefully."
Xiao Chen pulled Wang Pingbei to the side.
"Stop staring here, maybe someone will find you."
"Well... let's go first and talk as we go."
Wang Pingbei took another look and told Xiao Chen the news about his stroll in the morning.
"How many practitioners have grown overnight?"
Although Xiao Chen was mentally prepared, he was still surprised when he heard it.
"Yes, many people came through the teleportation array overnight... I heard that the inns in Xuanyuan Town have increased their prices, and the prices have doubled several times."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this the same as when hotels in the mother world increase their prices during the peak tourist season?
"The vision of the Imperial Sea is getting bigger and bigger, and all forces will not let go of this opportunity... Although it has not been proven that this is Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo, it must be unusual to have such a vision."
Wangping North Road.
"Qingyun Tower has sent Sun Hong here... This shows their attitude."
"Do you have any grudge against this Sun Hong?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked.
"It doesn't count as having a grudge. It's true that we won't deal with it... This guy relies on being Qingyunzi's lackey and never takes us seriously."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"This boy is really good at licking... licking Qingyunzi until he feels comfortable."
"Wait, wait a minute, is your 'lick' a verb or something?"
Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"Am I thinking wrong, or... is it just wrong?"
"ah?"
Wang Pingbei was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
"Well, that's not what I meant. It's just a bitch, all kinds of flattery..."
"Oh, let's put it this way, it won't be easy to misunderstand. I thought Qingyunzi was a womanizer."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Isn't it because you haven't licked him before, so you hold a grudge? I think your ability to flatter someone is not weak at all."
"No, no, I am not good at words, and I am quite upright. I never do such things as flattery."
Wang Pingbei shook his head and said seriously.
"What I say comes from my heart... Besides, Qingyunzi... Hehe, to use your words, Brother Chen, it means that he is not worthy! Only a genius like you, Brother Chen, can let me speak from my heart.
Worship, praise, follow.”
"Hahaha, you kid... your level is getting higher and higher."
Xiao Chen laughed.
"hey-hey."
Wang Pingbei also smiled.
"I'm telling the truth. Anyway, I don't like that guy Sun Hong."
"Simple, just make him disappear."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"Anyway, we and Qingyunlou Liangzi are already close, so we don't have to kill their genius again."
"Brother Chen, if you want to do this, you have to find an opportunity. You can't let Qingyun Tower find out."
Wang Pingbei said in a low voice.
"You still say you have no grudges? Haha, the murderous intention is clearly visible on your face."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Okay, I'll wait for an opportunity and let you kill him with your own hands."
"good."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"Where is Shanhai Tower? How long have you been staring at it? Have you gained anything?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"No."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Brother Chen, where are you? What did he hit again today?"
"The demigod weapon was stronger than last time...and then it was destroyed again."
Xiao Chen said.
"Ah? Is there something wrong with this old thing?"
Wang Pingbei felt pain in his flesh.
"It's okay to sell it."
"Haha, let's pursue something different."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Do you know who his ancestor is?"
"who?"
Wang Pingbei was curious.
"Brother Chen, have you dug out his old secrets?"
"Well, he is the guardian here, and his ancestor was Emperor Xuanyuan's sword slave."
