Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

As Biyao watched the Ghost King arrive, her smiling face suddenly turned wary.

Because for the past eleven years, every time the Ghost King came to see Zhang Xiaofan, it was with a mission, he asked:
"Father, what brings you here this time?"

The Ghost King looked at the wary Biyao and smiled, saying:
"Why the long face? Can't I even come to see my daughter?"

"Pah!" Biyao spat softly and said:

"You see, I am genuine, but the task I gave Xiao Fan is also genuine."

"Haha..." The Ghost King stroked his black beard and chuckled, saying:
"No one knows a daughter better than her father. I've come here this time to ask Xiao Fan to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"The Ten Thousand Mountains?" Before Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan got married, she was one of the best among the younger generation of the Ghost King Sect.

Therefore, instantly realizing the Ghost King's purpose, she frowned slightly and said:

"Father, you must have asked Xiaofan to get rid of that seriously injured Beast God, but the Beast God's strength is incredibly terrifying. Even if he is seriously injured, I'm afraid Xiaofan is no match for him."

"You're sending Xiao Fan to kill the Beast God? Isn't that sending him to his death? No, I disagree."

Looking at Biyao, who was wholeheartedly protecting her husband, the Ghost King thought to himself that his daughter had indeed grown up.

Unfortunately, she is completely obsessed with romance.

He was certain that if Biyao had to choose between him and Zhang Xiaofan, she would definitely choose that brat Zhang Xiaofan.

However, the Ghost King wasn't angry.

In his view, as long as his daughter Biyao is happy, that's all that matters. He has lived for over three hundred years, and unifying the world is extremely difficult; he might die soon.

Biyao is devoted to Zhang Xiaofan, and Zhang Xiaofan will also remain loyal to Biyao. Only then can he focus on his own affairs without any worries.

The Ghost King shook his head and said:
"Yao'er, I'm afraid you don't yet know just how strong your husband truly is?"

"In my opinion, with his strength, he has at least a 70% chance of killing the heavily injured Beast God. Even I, in my current state, probably can't compare."

Biyao was startled by these words and looked at Zhang Xiaofan beside her, asking:
"You've become this strong?"

Zhang Xiaofan thought that he was going to kill the Beast God anyway, otherwise, once it recovered, it would be a variable.
If the Beast God were to kill him after he recovers, he would be no match for him now.

Although the possibility is very low, Zhang Xiaofan has always been cautious, and in his previous life, countless villains had been caught off guard and ended up failing miserably.

Therefore, in Zhang Xiaofan's view, the Beast God must die, and everything must be nipped in the bud.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I can still slay the Beast God."

However, Biyao shook her head and said firmly:

"No, a 70% chance is too low. What if you get killed by the Beast God? I won't live either."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan, in order to persuade Biyao to agree, said:
"Alright, now that the Beast God is seriously injured, I'm actually 100% confident I can kill him."

Ghost King: "??????"

The Ghost King stared at Zhang Xiaofan with a bewildered expression.
100%?

It seems that what this kid said last time wasn't the truth again.

Damn it, in the past eleven years, Zhang Xiaofan has never told the truth about his strength.

Moreover, now he feels that he understands Zhang Xiaofan even less.

He had originally intended for Zhang Xiaofan to be his right-hand man, a pawn in his game to help him unify the world. But now, he realized that this pawn had never been under his control.

But this is for the best; the stronger Zhang Xiaofan is, the safer Yao'er will be. After all, he has made too many enemies over the past three hundred years. If he fails and dies, Zhang Xiaofan will be able to protect Yao'er.

Thinking of this, the Ghost King said:
"Let's not delay, let's set off today."

"By the way, can I borrow Qinglong and Youji? I need them very much."

"Borrow?" Biyao looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a puzzled expression, then at the Ghost King, and said:
"Father, why did you say you wanted to borrow it?"

"Aren't Aunt You and Qinglong always your subordinates?" Upon hearing this, the Ghost King's face darkened, and he pointed at Zhang Xiaofan, saying:

"You're asking this brat!"

Biyao then turned her gaze to Zhang Xiaofan.

"Ahem!" Zhang Xiaofan coughed twice, looking embarrassed.
"Perhaps Qinglong and Youji were too handsome and seduced by my charm, so they have betrayed your father and sided with me."

"Really?" Biyao stared intently at Zhang Xiaofan with her bright eyes and said:
"I believe you ghost!"

Zhang Xiaofan spread his hands in front of Biyao, smiled, and said nothing.

Then he looked at the Ghost King and said:

"Your request for me to kill the Beast God is a pretense; I'm afraid you have ulterior motives."

The Ghost King was taken aback, but his expression remained unchanged as he said:

"You're overthinking it. What other purpose could I possibly have?"

"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaofan pointed to the area around Little Fox Mountain and said:

"According to Biyao, Fox Hill used to be covered with flowers and dense forests, but now it is barren."

"And deep underground of the Ghost King Sect, there is a huge blood pool, in which the Kui Niu, the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, and the Zhulong are imprisoned. Endless evil energy emanates from it, causing the entire Fox Hill to be barren."

"So, your target is that ancient spirit beast beside the Beast God, the Taotie!"

After Zhang Xiaofan finished speaking, he stared at the Ghost King.

The Ghost King stood with his hands behind his back, meeting Zhang Xiaofan's sharp gaze. His expression remained unchanged, but a storm of emotions surged within him.

He didn't expect that Zhang Xiaofan knew his purpose.

So, could Zhang Xiaofan have guessed that he wanted to obtain the Four Ancient Spirits to unlock the restrictions on the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron and thus obtain the power of Asura?

The Ghost King stared intently into Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, trying to discern something from them.

However, apart from the sharpness and wickedness in his eyes, nothing was gained.

So, the Ghost King patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder, diverting his attention by saying:
"I have my own things to do, you just need to do yours."

Zhang Xiaofan stared intently into the Ghost King's eyes and said:
“I will take care of my own affairs, but you are Biyao’s father and her closest relative.”

"Therefore, I must remind you that the power of Asura is unlike that of a human being. Be careful not to play with fire and get burned."

"If you die, Biyao will be heartbroken."

"boom!"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King felt a jolt in his mind and stared blankly at Zhang Xiaofan.

Through these words, he knew that Zhang Xiaofan must know his plan.

However, apart from Mr. Ghost and himself, even Qinglong and Youji were unaware of the power of Asura; they only knew that he wanted to capture an ancient divine beast.

So how did Zhang Xiaofan know his specific plan and the power of Asura?

At this moment, the Ghost King realized that he seemed to have never truly seen through Zhang Xiaofan.

At this moment, the Ghost King realized that Zhang Xiaofan seemed to have seen through him completely all along.

It's laughable that he used to treat Zhang Xiaofan and the common people as pawns.

Now it suddenly seems that Zhang Xiaofan is the biggest player behind the scenes.

Heaven and earth are the chessboard, and all living beings are the chess pieces!
At this moment, the Ghost King realized for the first time how terrifying Zhang Xiaofan was.
