"A hundred years ago, a cultivator came to Xuanyuan Realm to look for opportunities. After searching for a long time without any results, he started a killing spree and killed many ordinary people to vent his anger..."
When the man said this, there was some anger in his eyes, and his rowing movements became much slower.
"If you can't find an opportunity, you kill ordinary people to vent your anger?"
Xiao Chen was also a little angry.
"Yes, it is said that hundreds of people were killed that year..."
The man nodded.
"Just when the people in the town were in a panic, all those cultivators who were killing indiscriminately were killed overnight."
"Who killed him?"
Wang Pingbei’s eyes widened.
"Guardian."
The man replied.
"These practitioners were a group of more than a dozen people... In one night, not a single one of them survived, and all their bodies were hung on the memorial archway."
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei looked at each other. What a ruthless person. He killed someone and then hung him up?
This is obviously to intimidate the practitioners in Xuanyuan Town and prevent them from going too far.
"And then?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Later, the forces behind those practitioners sent people over again, saying they wanted to avenge them... but in the end, they all died in Xuanyuan Town."
The man said slowly.
"Since then, there has been a saying about 'guardian gods'... practitioners no longer dare to kill people in the town at will."
“…”
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were silent. It seemed that this 'Guardian' was very powerful. The power behind them was frightened and had to give up revenge.
"Well, gentlemen, I don't mean anything else."
Seeing that the two men were silent, the man hurried to explain.
"Nothing, good kill."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Those who wantonly kill innocent people should be punished like this... Although I am a cultivator, I will also take action if I encounter such a person."
"Yeah, I hope you're not angry."
The man breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xiao Chen would stand on the cultivator's side and become furious because of his words, which would put him in danger.
"Tell me again, is it after this incident that practitioners dare not kill innocent people anymore?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Well, after this incident, the practitioners have become much more restrained, and various legends have emerged."
The man nodded.
"Some people say that Emperor Xuanyuan is in heaven and is guarding this place. Some people say that Emperor Xuanyuan is still alive in the Imperial Sea. Some people say that Emperor Xuanyuan's subordinates are always guarding here... Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions."
"Since you don't dare to kill innocent people, why is your brother still..."
Wang Pingbei thought of something and asked.
"Just because we don't dare to kill indiscriminately doesn't mean there aren't any."
The man smiled bitterly.
"It's just not that bad... Isn't it normal for a few people to die at sea?"
"All right."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"But speaking of which, a few days after my eldest brother died, two bodies were found on the beach... Some people said that they were the practitioners who went out to sea with my brother."
The man gritted his teeth.
"I didn't really believe in guardian angels before, but after this incident, I started to believe in them... Although I'm not sure they killed my brother, it's very likely that they did, and then they died."
“…”
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei looked at each other. Are they dead too?
"Were they killed?"
Xiao Chen looked at the man and asked.
"He drowned."
The man shook his head.
"But no matter what, how could two practitioners drown for no reason? So I still believe that it was the guardian angel who took action and avenged my brother."
"really."
Xiao Chen nodded. The possibility of a cultivator drowning for no reason was too small.
Then, he thought of something. The boatman was related to Zhang the blacksmith... So, could it be that Zhang the blacksmith was the one who took action this time?
Blacksmith Zhang is suspected of being the "guardian". If he took action, then everything would make sense.
"I firmly believe in the existence of a guardian god. Whether it is Emperor Xuanyuan or someone else, he is protecting this land."
The man's expression became respectful and pious.
"The Guardian God is our great benefactor."
"What about the practitioners who come here? Most of them don't know the legend of the 'Guardian God', right?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"Indeed, it has been mentioned less in recent years, but the major forces on all sides will also have some restraint, so generally nothing will happen."
The man nodded.
"After all, all forces want to get great opportunities, and they need ordinary people like us to be here, otherwise what will they do in their daily lives?"
"Haha, indeed, no matter what the purpose is, you are indispensable."
Xiao Chen smiled. Even if they were cattle and horses, they could not be killed at will... If they were killed, where would the cattle and horses come from to serve them?
He handed the gold particles over. The man hesitated, took them, and kept thanking him.
"Is it possible that someone couldn't stand it anymore and killed them?"
Suddenly, Wang Pingbei asked.
"Who will kill for us..."
The man shook his head, he still firmly believed in the existence of the guardian angel.
This is also the spiritual belief and sustenance of their generation.
Wang Pingbei wanted to say something, but Xiao Chen shook his head to stop him from continuing.
It is a good thing to have this kind of spiritual belief and sustenance.
Otherwise, why should a group of sheep be allowed to live surrounded by a pack of wolves?
Besides, since the bearded man said there is a guardian, there is a high probability that there is one.
"Has Blacksmith Zhang ever left Xuanyuan Town in these years?"
Xiao Chen turned the topic back to Blacksmith Zhang.
"No? I'm not sure. He seldom goes out, so I don't know if he has left."
The man shook his head, hesitating.
"You seem to be quite interested in Blacksmith Zhang?"
"Haha, don't think too much. I bought a sword from him and met him once, so I want to know more about him."
Xiao Chen explained with a smile.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
The man breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Then ask me what you want to know... He only forged one sword a year, and let Shopkeeper Zhao be sold. I know about this."
"Well, I bought it and visited him. I also thought he was quite interesting, so I asked him one more question. I meant no harm."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"You look like a kind person, how could you have any bad intentions?"
The man said hurriedly.
“…”
Wang Pingbei looked at the man, then at Xiao Chen. How the hell do you know he is kind?
"Haha, you have good eyesight. Even though I am a cultivator, what I hate most is fighting and killing."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Go on and tell me about Blacksmith Zhang."
"Okay."
The man completely lost his guard against Xiao Chen and told him everything he knew.
From the man's mouth, Xiao Chen had a clearer understanding of Zhang the Blacksmith.
That day, Blacksmith Zhang told more than one lie.
But he could understand it. Who doesn't tell a few lies?
Doesn't he just talk nonsense?
"Master, where are we going? We've come a long way."
Suddenly, the man said.
"Um?"
Xiao Chen looked around and it was true. He had walked a long way without realizing it.
He thought about it and took out the Xuanyuan Sword from the bone ring.
The man looked at the Xuanyuan Sword that appeared out of thin air, and his face changed. What was he going to do?
You're not going to do anything to yourself, are you?
Didn’t you say you don’t like fighting and killing?
"Don't be afraid, I'll get a knife out to help."
Seeing this, Xiao Chen said something to comfort him.
"ah……"
The man simply didn't believe it. There was no ship within hundreds of meters in the vast ocean. What was the point of taking out a knife?
"real……"
Xiao Chen grasped the Xuanyuan Sword and communicated with the evil dragon's spirit with his mind.
"You row your boat."
Wang Pingbei said something to the man.
"oh oh."
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not make the next move, the man felt a little relieved and continued rowing.
"Brother Long, do you have any feelings?"
"No."
"All right."
Xiao Chen really wanted to take out the spiritual root of heaven and earth, but it was not convenient in broad daylight, especially since the boatman was there.
He planned to bring the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth here again in the evening.
During the day, you can get familiar with the Dihai Sea and see what is the difference between this sea area and other sea areas.
At least for now, nothing unusual was found.
“There are quite a few people going out to sea.”
Xiao Chen looked around and saw several ships a few hundred meters away.
In the air, there are also strong men flying in the sky, overlooking the entire sea.
"Brother Chen, we need to keep a low profile."
Wang Pingbei was afraid that Xiao Chen might cause trouble, so he gave him a reminder.
“I’ve always been very low-key.”
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Boatman, do you know what is on the other side of the Imperial Sea?"
"I don't know. We don't dare to go too deep... There is a great danger there."
The man shook his head.
"Great evil? What does that mean?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. It was another situation he didn't understand.
"that is……"
The man was about to say something when suddenly a huge wave rose in the distance.
A boat was blown up and then fell down heavily.
The hull fell apart, but the practitioners on it were lucky enough to keep their balance.
After the boatman fell into the sea, he soon let out a scream.
This sudden change attracted the attention of everyone around.
what happened?
Even if there is a strong wind and huge waves, the boatman should be fine given his ability as a sailor.
If you are not good at swimming, who would dare to go out on a boat?
Besides...except for the sudden big waves just now, the sea was calm.
"ah……"
The two practitioners who had just stabilized their bodies seemed to see something on the sponge and screamed in surprise.
Before they could react, he suddenly collapsed and fell into the sea.
A wave rolled over, and the two people... disappeared without a trace.
This scene shocked everyone.
"What happened? Where are they?"
Wang Pingbei stood up suddenly and stared at the place where the two people disappeared.
Xiao Chen also looked a little solemn. Is there something at the bottom of the sea?
What is it?
Is it a monster?
He activated the 'Chaos Art' and released his spiritual consciousness, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't reach it.
The man's face turned pale and his body kept shaking.
"Wait here, I'll go take a look."
Xiao Chen threw down a sentence and flew into the air.
"Brother Chen, wait for me."
Wang Pingbei followed closely behind. Although there were unknown dangers, he felt... it was safer to stay with Xiao Chen.
Not only them, but also the nearby cultivators, especially those who had established their foundation, flew over one after another, wanting to see what was going on.
