Chapter 2172: Chapter 2173: Where Is the Evil Lord’s Tomb?

"It’s a good thing to be excellent, but sometimes being too excellent can lead to life-threatening dangers and jealousy from others!" The King said leisurely, "And your mother is definitely the most envied existence!"

"She is far more envied than the Evil Lord, but your mother had no other ambitions and was quite gentle, which is why she lived until you reached adulthood."

The King neither admitted to killing Qin Fenghuang nor denied it.

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and stared at the King, saying again, "I used to think that the people among the Guardians should be the ultimate heroes, serving the country and its people, but I didn’t expect that there are also petty individuals among them who can’t tolerate others..."

"You can say whatever you want." The King said indifferently, "After all, your mouth is yours!"

"King, I suppose you didn’t come here just to wander around?"

"Of course, I’m not that idle!" The King stated honestly, "Ye Xunhuan, you’ve already entered the Void stance. Killing you would be troublesome..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan’s face suddenly changed, filled with an alert expression.

"You don’t need to be so nervous, I’m not here to fight you today." The King said as he quickly saw through Ye Xunhuan’s unease.

"I think it’s better to stay cautious."

"Suit yourself!" The King said indifferently, "Ye Xunhuan, I came to see you today for two things!"

"Speak!"

"Before I come to take the Taiji Seal from you, you must safeguard it well, otherwise, if it’s gone, I’ll kill everyone around you!" The King said lightly, "Of course, if you know who took it, find them for me, and I might spare your people!"

"You..."

"Ye Xunhuan, I’m not threatening you—I’m just stating a fact." The King said heavily, "Given my strength, killing those around you is not difficult!"

"Even killing you, I can manage."

Ye Xunhuan fell silent. Although he had entered the Void stance, Ye Xunhuan still didn’t think he was a match for the King.

After all, the King had long been in the Void stance, though Ye Xunhuan didn’t know what level he was at in this stance.

"But now I don’t want to kill you, I want to let you live for the time being." The King said softly, "By the way, I’m giving you an opportunity—a chance to kill me personally!"

"But the time won’t be long; you need to work hard, otherwise, the one who will die will surely be you."

"I won’t disappoint you." Ye Xunhuan said with emphasis.

The King didn’t care about Ye Xunhuan’s attitude and continued, "The second thing, you need to help me find someone!"

"King, are you still dreaming!" Ye Xunhuan sneered, "You want me to help you find someone, do you think that’s possible?"

"It’s entirely possible!" The King said with great confidence, "After all, you have many people around you whom you wouldn’t want to see harmed..."

"You are so despicable!" Ye Xunhuan’s face immediately turned sour.

"In that case, you’ve agreed!"

"Who do you want me to find?" frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Ye Fanchen!"

Upon hearing the name Ye Fanchen, Ye Xunhuan’s heart skipped a beat, but his face remained unchanged, appearing calm.

"Who is Ye Fanchen?"

Though Ye Xunhuan was well aware of who Ye Fanchen was, he pretended ignorance and asked.

"A guy with a broken leg," the King said indifferently, "but he has the strength of the Void stance. Without his legs, he cannot exhibit his Void stance strength!"

"You don’t need to worry when you encounter him!"

"What does he look like?"

"Your wife has already received what I sent; you just need to take a look when you return." The King said as if suddenly remembering something and added, "Don’t be nervous, I haven’t done anything to her. Besides, I have ties of brotherhood with her grandfather, I won’t kill her!"

Ye Xunhuan breathed deeply, "I understand!"

"By the way, I’ll give you a heads-up!" The King said casually, "Consider it repayment for your assistance with the second task!"

"Go ahead!"

"Jin Zhengru isn’t as simple as you think; you’ll understand when you meet her father." The King’s tone slowly became serious and grave.

Hearing the King mention Jin Zhengru, Ye Xunhuan’s expression slightly changed.

Always, Ye Xunhuan thought Jin Zhengru was not simple, but he didn’t expect the King to be paying attention to her as well.

And to say it in such a tone.

"Do you know Jin Zhengru?"

"I’ve always been monitoring her, or rather I want to know her father’s whereabouts through her." The King said seriously, "Unfortunately, I haven’t found him yet."

The King sighed slightly, appearing quite helpless.

"Who is her father?"

"You’ll know when you meet him." The King intentionally kept it vague, "A heads-up: when you encounter Jin Zhengru’s father, you’d better run, don’t engage with him!"

"Is he in the Void stance?"

"Our strengths are comparable!" The King said heavily, "Encountering him if he wants to kill you, you’re doomed!"

Ye Xunhuan’s expression gradually became grave, while his mind was filled with doubts about why the King would tell him these things!

Before Ye Xunhuan could speak, the King said again, "Are you curious about why I’m telling you this?"

"Yes!"

"I don’t want you dead; it’s that simple." The King said casually, "Or perhaps, I want you to die by my hand!"

"Of course, you might think I want to die by your hand." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The King didn’t state it explicitly, leaving room for interpretation.

"I’ll make your wish come true!"

The King chuckled softly, "Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore, I’ll be on my way."

With that, the King was about to leave.

But just at that moment, Ye Xunhuan suddenly spoke, "Wait a moment!"

The King’s lifted right leg went down again as he turned to look at Ye Xunhuan, "Do you have anything else?"

"King, I have one more question!"

"Go ahead!"

"Where did you bury the Evil Lord after you killed him back then?"

The King looked at Ye Xunhuan with surprise, "Why do you ask this?"

Of course, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t reveal his desire to find his father’s burial place to pay respects!

If he dared to say it, the King would likely kill him.

After all, allowing the son of the Evil Lord, Ye Xunhuan, to live was like holding a bomb.

"Because I promised someone to help him find the Evil Lord’s tomb, so he could pay his respects!" Ye Xunhuan said with emphasis.

The King showed a look of realization, "You must be talking about that brat released from the dungeon by the Yan family?"
