After saying "OK" three times, the Ghost King struggled to get up.

Underestimating the extent of his injuries, he staggered and nearly fell, but fortunately Bi Yao reached out in time and held him up.

The Ghost King looked pale, but the coldness on his face had long since disappeared, instead it was filled with satisfaction and appreciation.

"Can you still use the sword?" he asked.

Seeing him staring at him with burning eyes, Zhang Xiaofan felt a little uncomfortable.

Worried that the other party would try to take the Immortal Execution Sword again, he felt nervous and raised his head and said, "A thousand times, ten thousand times!"

"Good!" The admiration on the Ghost King's face grew stronger.

Zhang Xiaofan paid attention to his expression, then looked at Bi Yao beside him, wondering if the other party was still plotting something.

Qinglong and his companions also stood up.

They all looked listless and had suffered serious injuries.

When they looked at Zhang Xiaofan, they were all afraid.

The power of the Zhu Xian Sword obviously made them fearful.

"Only someone with this kind of strength can be worthy of my daughter," the Ghost King pointed at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "You have passed my test."

"Dad!" Bi Yao said coquettishly, but also a little worried.

She didn't believe that he would put himself in this state just for a test.

Zhang Xiaofan also had some doubts.

"Maybe he just said that because he can't beat me. If he could, he would have snatched the Zhu Xian Sword away long ago." He thought to himself.

He had heard of the name of the Ghost King a long time ago.

In the eyes of everyone in Qingyun Sect, he is a devil who is cruel and bloodthirsty, killing people like crazy and will do anything to achieve his goals.

Although he doesn't look that evil, he is definitely not a good person.

"Why aren't you talking?" the Ghost King asked with a smile.

Seeing Bi Yao also looking at him, Zhang Xiaofan put away the strangeness in his heart and cupped his hands: "I didn't know how to control the severity of my attack, please forgive me, Ghost King."

"We are all family, no need to be so polite." The Ghost King waved his hand.

Biyao was immediately delighted.

Zhang Xiaofan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ghost King arranged for people to prepare food and entertainment, while he started chatting with Zhang Xiaofan.

In order to avoid any further accidents, this time Bi Yao followed the two closely and refused to leave.

When the Ghost King learned that Zhang Xiaofan planned to travel around the world with Bi Yao and no longer care about the affairs of good and evil, he shook his head slightly.

"Do you think this way of escaping will work?"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled but said nothing.

He thought to himself, could he rely on his strength to wipe out all the demons in the world?

Biyao would definitely be the first one to disagree.

As for attacking the righteous path, it is even more impossible for him to do it.

Although the incident with Master Puzhi made him no longer trust the righteous path as much as before, it was even more impossible for him to draw his sword against his former fellow disciples.

What's more, Lu Xueqi would not let him take righteous action.

The Ghost King guessed his thoughts, remained silent for a few seconds, and sighed, "The world is a chess game. Once you have embarked on the path of cultivation, you are already a player in the game."

Zhang Xiaofan did not agree, but did not refute it.

"You have a sharp weapon in your hand, how long can you hide?" the Ghost King asked, "If one day you know that Qingyun Sect is about to be annihilated, will you still be able to hold back and not take action?"

Zhang Xiaofan frowned slightly.

He naturally has deep feelings for Qingyun Sect, and if he waits until that day, he will probably find it difficult to sit still.

"If someone from the righteous path forces me into a desperate situation, won't you save my life for Bi Yao's sake?" the Ghost King asked again.

Seeing Biyao looking at him expectantly, Zhang Xiaofan had no choice but to nod.

He would do his best to protect his life, but if his power was abolished or he was imprisoned forever, that was not something he could do.

"So you are already in the game!" The Ghost King shook his head, "If it were that easy to escape from the world, how could there be so many people in this world?"

"Let alone those of us in the Demon Sect, even those who claim to be righteous gentlemen, how many of them would not be tempted..."

"Let's talk about Daoxuan's sword," said the Ghost King, "The reason he slashed at you was because he was worried about the lives of the people in the world, or because he was worried about the status of the righteous path?"

Zhang Xiaofan was about to speak when the Ghost King spoke first: "It is true that many people from the Demon Sect have killed innocent people, but the righteous are not that innocent either. They manipulated the mortal court, and countless people died for them!"

"So," the Ghost King smiled, "Do you think they will let you go?"

Zhang Xiaofan moved his lips, not knowing how to start.

He pondered the Ghost King's words and recalled his own experiences.

The reason for the struggle between good and evil, besides the conflict in concepts of cultivation, seems to be a struggle for status and power.

Especially when he thought that the Ghost King Sect's skills were actually derived from the "Book of Heaven", he realized that the righteous and evil sects were originally one family.

His expression kept changing, sometimes gloomy, sometimes as if he understood something.

The Ghost King chuckled and said, "Whether it's the righteous or the evil, they are hostile to each other. Do you really think there is a distinction between justice and evil?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked up at him.

The Ghost King shook his head and said, "It's just a competition for power and status!"

"The resources for cultivation in this world are limited. Whoever can obtain more resources will gain more, and can make further progress in cultivation."

"Do you think that the successive masters of your Qingyun Sect don't know about the Heavenly Book in the Demon Sect?"

"There are other magic weapons..."

The Ghost King spoke a lot and said at the end: "Unless the two sides unite as one, the disputes in this world will never stop and the hatred will never disappear!"

Zhang Xiaofan looked heavy-hearted, and suddenly realized that he might not have considered everything.

The Ghost King looked at him with scorching eyes: "And you are the chance to end all this!"

"Why?" Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but ask.

"Your strength is the best in the world. You conquered the Immortal Execution Sword and obtained the ancient immortal inheritance. Who wouldn't be jealous?"

The Ghost King said with great enthusiasm: "If you are determined to stay away from the world, it will only lead to endless disputes. But if you are willing to raise your arms, there will definitely be a lot of responses, and it will be easy to merge the two paths of good and evil!"

Zhang Xiaofan looked doubtful.

"Of course," the Ghost King smiled, "this matter requires the endorsement of someone of a certain status in both the righteous and evil ways, and you also need to take out some of the things you got from the immortals' inheritance."

"Without your endorsement, no one will believe you," said the Ghost King, "and if you don't share the profits, others may not obey your orders!"

Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously looked at Bi Yao.

Seeing Bi Yao nod, he asked, "Does the Ghost King have a suitable candidate?"

The Ghost King smiled and said, "I have some status in the Demon Sect, but you have to convince others in the Righteous Sect yourself. But I can accompany you for a while."

Zhang Xiaofan frowned, somewhat undecided.

"Why not go to Qingyun Sect first? They may agree to your request, as we have a past relationship." The Ghost King paused and continued, "But your past relationship with Qingyun Sect alone may not be enough."

"In secular dynasties, marriage is the best way to maintain alliances."

"With your relationship with Biyao, there's no need to say more between us..."

Hearing the Ghost King say this, Bi Yao lowered her head shyly.

Zhang Xiaofan curled his lips secretly.

He did not forget that the Ghost King had attacked him.

"But as for the righteous side..." The Ghost King changed the subject and said, "You can find a woman of high status in the Qingyun Sect to marry, so as to maintain your connection with the righteous side."

Bi Yao suddenly looked up: "Dad!"

Zhang Xiaofan's expression also became awkward.

Seeing his daughter's dissatisfaction, the Ghost King smiled and said, "You and Xiaofan have experienced life and death together, and your feelings are deep-rooted. The others are just to maintain the name of husband and wife, so you don't need to care."

No need to worry about anything!

Bi Yao thought to herself, "Daddy, what do you know? That hypocritical woman Lu Xueqi would love this! "
