Xiao Chen left Blacksmith Zhang's yard feeling rather uneasy.

Although Blacksmith Zhang didn't tell him much, he probably understood some of the situation from what he said just now.

The descendants of those people who followed Emperor Xuanyuan back then...are guarding the Imperial Sea.

And, to always protect, this is their innate responsibility.

Just like what Blacksmith Zhang said, this is a shackle on the shoulders.

When Emperor Xuanyuan's temple sees the light of day again and his heritage is passed on, then their responsibility as guardians will be fulfilled and their shackles will be unlocked.

"It's different from Kyuubi and the others guarding the no-man's land..."

Xiao Chen shook his head. They guarded until they died, and Zhang the blacksmith did the same for generation after generation.

What kind of belief does it take for generations to stick to it?

During this period, there must have been people who couldn't hold on... and left, right?

However, Blacksmith Zhang didn't say much, saying it was not convenient to tell him.

"No, if someone had left, the news would have spread... It wouldn't be the case that after so many years, the outside world couldn't be sure that Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo existed here."

Xiao Chen frowned. There was definitely something he didn't know.

"Forget it, let's not study it for now. I've gained a lot from this trip..."

Xiao Chen shook his head and turned to leave.

In the yard, Zhang San stood behind Zhang the blacksmith.

"Master, why did you tell him so much?"

“Because I think the time has come.”

Blacksmith Zhang replied.

"Then why did you tell him so many lies?"

Zhang San asked again.

“…”

The corner of blacksmith Zhang's mouth twitched.

"Because the time is not right yet, there are some things that cannot be said."

"Ah? So has it arrived or not?"

Zhang San scratched his head, a little confused.

"Well...just go do what you need to do."

Blacksmith Zhang gave a dry cough.

"By the way, if you meet Chen Xiao in Dihai, try not to talk to him... That guy is very cunning, I'm afraid he will fool you."

"knew."

Zhang San responded.

"Then I'm going to Dihai."

"Go ahead. Come back and tell me if you have any news."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"Stay away from that profiteer if you see him."

"clear."

After Zhang San finished speaking, he turned around, picked up the hammer, and strode away.

"Is the time right? These remaining ones...it's time to put an end to them."

Blacksmith Zhang looked up at the blue sky and whispered to himself.

…

After Xiao Chen left the back street, he was not in a hurry to contact Wang Pingbei and just strolled around casually.

"The map... that's actually a map of the interior of Xuanyuan Realm? No wonder Longteng Chamber of Commerce didn't find anything."

Xiao Chen muttered, took out the map and looked at it carefully.

Indeed, it doesn’t match Xuanyuan Town at all.

"This place... seems to be Luojian Peak?"

Suddenly, he looked at one place and his eyes fixed.

This is a very small corner, enough to be ignored.

He looked carefully. On the side of Luojian Peak, that was the Dihai Sea, right?

"Li Xiunian said that they are almost certain that it is the Xuanyuan Realm... Is it because Luojian Peak and Dihai are certain of it? Otherwise, what basis do they have for saying that?"

At the auction, Li Xiunian mentioned Xuanyuan Realm and Xuanyuan Town... In private, he told him more.

Although they cannot be sure, Longteng Chamber of Commerce is almost certain that there is a secret here.

Therefore, they took out the map in order to attract everyone from Tianwai Tian to come over... maybe, there will be some changes.

Otherwise, no matter how much manpower, material resources and financial resources the Longteng Chamber of Commerce spends, it probably won't be enough.

As for eating alone... Longteng Chamber of Commerce knows very well that they can't eat alone.

"No one can eat alone? I really don't believe it..."

Xiao Chen muttered to himself, he didn't want to share the things he had worked so hard to get with the forces outside the world.

If this happened in the ancient martial arts world, he wouldn't mind if other people got some of it.

Heaven beyond heaven… No way.

"Blacksmith Zhang, the Ghost King... and the unknown guardian."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. How many unknown guardians are there?

What happened to the guardians who left over the years?

Is it because of some constraints that you dare not talk more about the Xuanyuan Realm?

Or...are they already dead?

Xiao Chen strolled along the way, thinking all the way, and comparing it with the map from time to time.

Only Luo Jianfeng and Di Hai can barely fight against them.

The rest...the things on this map have nothing to do with Xuanyuan Town.

"What Blacksmith Zhang said today may not be the truth... We can't completely believe it. Let's find the Ghost King and try to find out from the side."

While Xiao Chen was strolling, from time to time strong men flew into the sky and headed towards the Emperor 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 more like chance than a sea monster.

There are too many wolves and too little meat...there is not enough for the cultivators to share.

Under this circumstance, Xiao Chen would certainly not join in the fun.

He came here for the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan. He looked down upon these trivial things and was not willing to snatch them.

If he really goes to rob, wouldn't it bring shame to his reputation as 'Chen Xiao'?

"Huh? Isn't that Wang Pingbei? What are you doing sneaking around?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked up and saw Wang Pingbei, feeling a little strange.

He didn't go forward immediately, but watched from a distance.

He found that Wang Pingbei was staring at one place.

"This place... seems to be the Shanhai Tower, right? Why is he here?"

Xiao Chen took a few glances and recognized it.

More than 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 staring at?"

The sudden sound startled Wang Pingbei.

When he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Chen, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on the knife handle.

"Brother Chen, why are you here?"

"I was just strolling around, and I saw you sneaking around here from a distance..."

Xiao Chen said this and glanced towards Shanhai Tower.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm...sneaky? Is it obvious?"

Wang Pingbei was stunned.

"I think I hid it pretty well."

"What a bullshit! You're just short of having a sign on your body saying you're spying on people."

Xiao Chen curled his lips.

"Um... I'm wondering if there's any movement in Shanhai Tower and who has been sent."

Wang Pingbei replied.

"There's movement at Qingyun Tower, I believe there will be movement at Shanhai Tower as well."

"What's going on in Qingyun Tower? Is Qingyunzi coming?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"No, Qing Yunzi didn't come, but his lackeys did... This lackey should be here to pave the way for Qing Yunzi. Maybe it won't be long before Qing Yunzi arrives."

Wang Pingbei replied.

"Lackneck? Who is that? Tell me about it."

Xiao Chen pulled Wang Pingbei to the side.

"Stop staring at me, or you might get discovered."

"Well... let's go first, and talk while we walk."

Wang Pingbei took another look and told Xiao Chen the news he had gained from his stroll in the morning.

"There are so many more practitioners overnight?"

Although Xiao Chen was mentally prepared, he was still surprised when he heard it.

"Yes, many people came here overnight through the teleportation array... I heard that the inns in Xuanyuan Town have increased their prices several times."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"hehe."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this the same as when hotels raise their prices during the peak tourist season in the Mother Realm?

"The strange phenomenon in the Imperial Sea is getting bigger and bigger. All forces will not let go of this opportunity... Although there is no proof that this is Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo, the presence of such a strange phenomenon must be unusual."

Wang Ping North Road.

"Qingyun Tower sent Sun Hong here... that shows their attitude."

"Do you have a grudge against this Sun Hong?"

Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked.

"It's not that we have a grudge, but we really don't get along... This guy relies on the fact that he is Qing Yunzi's lackey and never takes us seriously."

Wang Pingbei replied.

"This boy is really good at licking... He licked Qing Yunzi until he felt comfortable."

"Wait, wait a minute, is this 'lick' a verb, or something else?"

Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.

"Am I thinking wrongly, or... is it just wrong?"

"ah?"

Wang Pingbei was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

"Well, that's not what I meant. He's just a lackey, flattering me in every way..."

"Oh, now it's easier to misunderstand me. I thought Qing Yunzi was a homosexual."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"You're not holding a grudge against him because you've never licked him before, right? I think you're pretty good at flattering people."

"No, no, I'm not good at speaking and I'm quite upright. I never do such flattering things."

Wang Pingbei shook his head and said seriously.

"What I said came from my heart... Besides, Qing Yunzi... Oh, to use your own words, Brother Chen, he is unworthy! Only a peerless genius like you, Brother Chen, can make me admire, praise, and follow you from the bottom of my heart."

"Hahaha, kid... your level is getting higher and higher."

Xiao Chen laughed.

"hey-hey."

Wang Pingbei also smiled.

"I'm telling the truth. Anyway, I really don't like that guy Sun Hong."

"It's simple. Just make him disappear."

Xiao Chen said casually.

"Anyway, we have a big feud with Qingyun Tower, so it doesn't matter if we kill one more of their geniuses."

"Brother Chen, if we want to do this, we have to find an opportunity. We can't let Qingyun Tower find out."

Wang Pingbei whispered.

"You still say you have no grudge? Haha, the murderous intent is clearly written on your face."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Okay, I'll find a chance for you to kill him with your own hands."

"good."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"What about Shanhai Tower? How long have you been watching? Have you gained anything?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"No."

Wang Pingbei shook his head.

"Brother Chen, how's your side? What did he do today?"

"A semi-divine weapon, stronger than last time... and then, destroyed again."

Xiao Chen said.

"Ah? Is there something wrong with this old guy?"

Wang Pingbei felt pain.

"It's fine to sell it."

"Haha, the pursuits are different."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Do you know who his ancestors were?"

"who?"

Wang Pingbei was curious.

"Brother Chen, have you dug up his past?"

"Yes, he is the guardian of this place. His ancestor was the sword slave of Emperor Xuanyuan."

Xiao Chen looked around and whispered.

"Back then, I followed Emperor Xuanyuan."
