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?"
