At the moment when the spiritual root of heaven and earth disappeared, Xiao Chen also sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword.

A green knife is quite eye-catching, so let's put it away for now.

The sound of breaking air is getting closer and closer.

"Who's here at this late hour?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at the approaching black shadow.

He wanted to hide, but if the other party was a strong man, it would be too late.

Instead of hiding, it is better to be open and honest.

When the man approached, Xiao Chen could see his appearance clearly in the moonlight.

"What the hell?"

Xiao Chen was stunned, and then...he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide.

"Chen Xiao?"

The visitor also saw Xiao Chen clearly, was stunned for a moment, and shouted.

"Ahem, Senior..."

Xiao Chen coughed dryly and cupped his hands.

The person who came was none other than... the bearded ghost king.

"You...why are you here?"

The bearded man looked at Xiao Chen and was also surprised.

"Ah, I drank too much, so I came out to sober up... Could it be that Senior is also here to sober up?"

Xiao Chen was quite embarrassed. When they separated just now, they were both walking unsteadily.

And then... we met here.

"Ahem...yes, I drank too much, so I came out for a walk."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the bearded man's face turned red, but luckily it was late at night and with a full beard, it was difficult to see.

But he really felt embarrassed.

This...how did we meet?

Fortunately, Xiao Chen is a good person. He not only found a reason for himself, but also found a reason for himself.

Otherwise, it’s really hard to find a reason.

"Hahaha, that's such a coincidence."

Xiao Chen laughed, easing the awkward atmosphere.

"Hahaha, yeah yeah."

The bearded man also laughed, as if this would make it less awkward.

The laughter of the two people echoed around Luojian Peak.

Gradually... the laughter became quieter.

Xiao Chen really couldn't laugh anymore, and he couldn't keep laughing.

"So, Senior, why are you here?"

Xiao Chen picked a random topic.

"Oh, I'm drunk, just wandering around."

The bearded man replied.

"Haha, Xuanyuan Town isn't that small. There are many places to visit. Why did you end up here, Senior?"

Xiao Chen looked at the bearded man and became more certain that there was... a secret here!

Otherwise, why would he come!

"…Why did you end up here?"

The bearded man was silent for a few seconds and then asked.

"I heard that this crack was created by the Xuanyuan Sword, so I came to take a look."

Xiao Chen pointed at the crack and said.

"If I say that this is why I came here, would you believe me?"

The bearded man smiled.

At this time, the 'awkwardness' had passed. Since both of them were here, it meant that there was something wrong with this place...

He wanted to know why Xiao Chen came, and Xiao Chen also wanted to know him!

Smart people…don’t mention embarrassing things anymore.

"Senior, do you think this was really chopped by the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

"no."

The bearded man shook his head.

"Not that I know of anyway."

"How did that come about?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"Haha, you're here, and I'm here too... let's have a frank chat."

As the bearded man spoke, he picked up the yellow gourd and took a sip.

"Aren't you here to sober up?"

Xiao Chen said quietly.

“…”

The bearded man's face darkened. Did you bring this up on purpose?

"What's wrong with sobering up? After sobering up, drink some more..."

“You’re awesome.”

Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up.

"Then let's be frank. I swear to God, I don't know anything. I just thought there might be some secret here, so I came here."

"Can you believe what you swear to heaven?"

The bearded man looked strange.

"Of course I can believe it...Okay, I swear again. If it's a lie, I won't be able to get Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance."

Xiao Chen said seriously.

"Haha, you talk like you can get it."

The bearded man was delighted.

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless.

"Then tell me, what should I say so that you will believe it?"

"That's all."

The bearded man waved his hand.

"The news I got is that Luojian Peak is related to the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan..."

"really……"

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, he already had such a guess.

"As for the details, I'm still unclear... I came here during the day, but didn't find anything, so I decided to come and see if there was anything at night."

The bearded man said.

"Then, I saw you."

“…”

Xiao Chen looked at the bearded man, trying to tell whether what he said was true or false.

"I have told you everything I know."

The bearded man saw Xiao Chen staring at him and said calmly.

"What about you? When did you come? Did you find anything?"

“A little, but not much.”

Xiao Chen thought about it and briefly explained his discovery.

"Blade shadow?"

The bearded man raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"The day is a sword, the night is a knife... It seems that calling this place 'Falling Sword Peak' is not accurate."

The bearded man looked at the projection on the ground and saw that it was quite distorted and it was no longer recognizable as a knife.

Then he looked up again at the moon high in the sky, and it seemed that time had passed.

"I can't figure out why the knife shadow appeared."

Xiao Chen asked tentatively.

He found that when he said "knife shadow", the bearded man was not too surprised.

Apparently... the bearded man knew.

He said this to test Big Beard.

Now it seems... just as he thought, the bearded man knew a lot, but he just didn't say it.

"You are quite observant..."

Suddenly, the bearded man smiled.

"It is said that in the past, people dug deep into the ground to find Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance... They even searched every inch of the Falling Sword Peak."

"Then what?"

Xiao Chen looked at the bearded man. Blacksmith Zhang had also said the same thing.

"Later, no one came to Luojian Peak..."

The bearded man said again.

"I also came here once in a while and found something unusual... Just like you said, the projection here at night is different from that during the day. There must be a secret here."

"You've already discovered it?"

Xiao Chen said in surprise.

"I discovered it by accident last time. I came here many times at night to observe the changes at different times of the day."

The bearded man said slowly.

"Any findings?"

Xiao Chen asked without thinking.

"If so, will I come again tonight?"

The bearded man shook his head.

"Guess, at what time period does the projection look most like a knife?"

"What time period?"

Xiao Chen looked at the projection on the ground and thought about it.

"Could it be midnight?"

"Yes, noon is like a sword, and midnight is like a knife."

The bearded man nodded.

"Chen Xiao, you are also a smart person. I think we can cooperate."

"How can we cooperate? Forget about 37."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"And you said you wanted them all."

The bearded man curled his lips.

"Don't ask for all of it, and I won't ask for 30-70... 50-50, how about that?"

"Do you know what the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan is?"

Xiao Chen looked at the bearded man and asked.

"What if there is something that both you and I want?"

"this……"

The bearded man frowned.

"When the time comes, will you and I fight each other?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"Then can't you give way to an old man? You keep calling me senior, so why shouldn't you give way to me?"

The bearded man scratched his head.

"Well, I am a young person. You should give young people more opportunities and let them have more time."

Xiao Chen refused to give in. Even if they really wanted to cooperate, they had to make it clear.

Besides, he didn't want to cooperate at all.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't cooperate... But I feel like I'm at a disadvantage. I've told you so much."

The bearded man frowned.

"I told you too, about the changes here at night... but you already knew about it, so you can't blame me."

Xiao Chen said helplessly.

"I didn't hide it from you."

“Hmm…”

The bearded man looked at Xiao Chen and vaguely felt that something was not right.

He didn't want to say so much, but why... did he say it?

Xiao Chen laughed secretly in his heart. He said it out loud in order to know more.

It seems that the effect is good now.

"Even if you and I don't cooperate, if we find out at the same time, won't we still have to fight for it?"

The bearded man thought of something and said.

"Do you think you are my opponent?"

“You may have left Sifang City early and you don’t know what happened?”

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"what happened?"

The bearded man was startled.

"You should have some channels, right? You can ask around yourself."

Xiao Chen's smile widened.

"Okay, let me ask around."

The bearded man was wondering what happened to Sifang City?

"Besides, you and I are friends, so we don't necessarily have to fight over it. Maybe I got the inheritance smoothly, but you... haven't gotten anything yet."

Xiao Chen said again.

“…”

The bearded man was speechless. So confident?

"Apart from the projection on the ground, did you find anything else?"

“No more.”

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"I've only been here a short time, really..."

"Okay, from now on, you do your thing and I do mine, and no one should disturb you."

After the bearded man finished speaking, he flew into the air and landed on the top of the mountain.

Xiao Chen looked up at the bearded man. This guy... must know something.

However, he had no information to exchange, so he had to give up.

"Midnight is most like a knife..."

Xiao Chen glanced at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand. How about coming back to take a look at it tomorrow night at midnight?

Thinking of this, he decided not to stay any longer, nor did he worry about the bearded man discovering anything.

"Senior, please take your time, I'm leaving first."

Xiao Chen said hello and prepared to leave.

"Hmm? You're not looking for it anymore?"

The bearded man asked.

"Don't look for it anymore. Let's go look somewhere else."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and walked away.

With the bearded man here, he can’t release his spiritual roots of heaven and earth at all.

Even the green knife was avoided as much as possible.

It would be bad if Brother Long showed up.

If he just looks for it on his own, he probably won't find anything, so he might as well look somewhere else.

"This kid...did he discover something?"

The bearded man looked at Xiao Chen's back and frowned.

"Also, why is he here?"

After Xiao Chen left, he wandered along the shore of the Imperial Sea.

"Brother Long, do you feel anything?"

"What's it like? Is it like playing in the water? A little bit."

The dragon spirit replied.

"I'm going to..."

Xiao Chen wanted to swear, but held it back.

"Xuanyuan bastard, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."

However, the spirit of the evil dragon thought of something and roared angrily again.
