Qin Yang attacked in anger. A stream of Spiritual Qi instantly injured everyone, making them unable to continue fighting.
Then, he ordered the huge number of Golden Demon Clan monsters to kill these humans with all their might.
Just as everyone was feeling hopeless, a voice suddenly resounded through the sky.
Then, a giant hand instantly reached out and slammed down.
Rumble …
A deafening sound rang out. The Golden Demon Clan monsters that were charging towards Fang Chen and the others were all annihilated.
"Stop."
In an instant, a figure appeared out of thin air.
This figure had two sword scars on his face. It was extremely terrifying. He stood in front of Fang Chen and the others, staring at Qin Yang at the entrance of the valley with flickering eyes.
"It's you."
Obviously, Qin Yang knew this person. When he saw this person attack, his face was extremely gloomy.
"Qin Yang, stop," the figure said unhurriedly.
This sudden change caused Fang Chen and the others to be astonished.
Fang Chen could clearly feel that the cultivator who had saved them was emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
Even Qin Yang had a tinge of fear in his eyes.
"Who is he? Why is Qin Yang afraid of him?"
Qin Yang was an invincible existence in the Mysterious King Realm. Why would he be afraid of this person?
And why would this person save them?
Fang Chen's mind was filled with doubts, but he did not say anything.
"You actually want to fight against me for these insignificant cultivators," Qin Yang said coldly.
"Qin Yang, with me here, you can't kill them," the figure said softly after pondering for a moment.
"Hmph, let's wait and see."
Hearing the figure's words, Qin Yang snorted coldly. He flicked his sleeves and disappeared from the valley.
Many experts, including Fang Chen, felt that it was incomparably surreal.
"Senior, thank you for saving us." Zang Jian cupped his hands and thanked him.
The other cultivators also looked at them with burning eyes.
"Saving you was just a casual thing. The God Burying Sword Prison trip ends here. You can leave," the figure said as he waved his hand slightly.
Everyone wanted to ask more, but they found that this person was a little impatient. They looked at each other and then turned to leave in a flash.
Except for Fang Chen, everyone had stepped into the Mysterious King Realm.
This trip to the God Burying Sword Prison could be considered to be quite successful.
The God Burying Sword Prison was extremely dangerous. Everyone had experienced it.
This time, being able to leave calmly could be considered a daunting experience without any mishap.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
Fourteen figures flew quickly and returned to the ninth floor in the blink of an eye.
Fang Chen was the last to fly. His speed was neither fast nor slow. In his mind, he was thinking about why that expert had saved him.
At that instant, a voice appeared in Fang Chen's mind.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!
Fang Chen was startled when he heard this voice. He immediately stopped in his tracks and looked at his surroundings in confusion.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!
"There's no need to look. I'm right behind you."
Hearing this, Fang Chen turned around and returned to where he came from in a flash.
At this time, the other experts had already returned to the ninth floor. No one knew that Fang Chen was still on the tenth floor.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen returned to the valley.
The figure from before stood there quietly with a smile on his face.
"Senior, were you the one who spoke to me just now?" Fang Chen stopped in the valley and cupped his hands slightly toward the expert before asking.
The man with the scar nodded and said, "That's right. I was talking to you just now."
"May I know why Senior asked me to stay behind?" asked Fang Chen.
"Come with me." After the man with the sword mark said that, he grabbed Fang Chen and disappeared into the valley.
Suddenly, Fang Chen felt as if the world was spinning, as if he was traveling through time and space.
Huala
Fang Chen felt his vision turn white. Then, he opened his eyes and looked around hurriedly.
He suddenly realized that he was in a spacious space. The atmosphere was peaceful and there was no evil aura in the spiritual Qi. It was very peaceful.
"Senior, where is this?" Fang Chen asked in confusion.
"The eighteenth floor of the God Burying Sword Prison."
"What eighteenth floor of the God Burying Sword Prison?"
Fang Chen's heart was in turmoil.
In his mind, the higher the floor of the God Burying Sword Prison, the more dangerous it was.
However, why was the eighteenth floor so peaceful?
Moreover, Fang Chen was a little shocked. Who was the man with the sword mark? Why did he bring him to the eighteenth floor of the God Burying Sword Prison?
"Could it be …"
A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Fang Chen's mind.
As if he had seen through Fang Chen's mind, the man with the sword mark said, "Don't think too much. I'm not the God Burying Sword Prison."
Fang Chen was a little embarrassed that his thoughts were exposed.
"Senior, what's the matter with Qin Yang? Why did you bring me to the eighteenth floor of the God Burying Sword Prison?" Fang Chen voiced out many doubts in his mind.
The man with the sword mark said slowly.
"That Qin Yang is also considered an outstanding genius. The people outside all thought that he was dead. However, that is not the case. He has always been in the God Burying Sword Prison. Back then, he almost defeated me and took my position."
Fang Chen did not say anything and listened to the man with the sword mark quietly.
"Do you know who I am?" The man with the sword mark asked.
Fang Chen shook his head and expressed his confusion.
"Actually, I am one of the guardians of the God Burying Sword Prison," the man with the sword mark said.
When Fang Chen heard this, his face was filled with shock.
He looked at the man with the sword mark, dumbfounded.
The man in front of him was one of the guardians of the God Burying Sword Prison.
What exactly were they guarding? The God Burying Sword Prison or the God Burying Sword Prison?
"There are more than one guardian."
Fang Chen's thoughts were in a mess. He was extremely shocked.
"Back then, Qin Yang competed with me for the position of guardian. In the end, I defeated him. However, he refused to accept it and led the demonic beasts of the Golden Demon Clan on the tenth floor. He tried his best to defeat me," the man with the sword mark continued.
"Senior, what are the guardians?" Fang Chen finally asked.
No wonder Qin Yang did not want to provoke this man. It turned out that he was one of the guardians of the God Burying Sword Prison.
"Although the God Burying Sword Emperor is dead, his methods are beyond our imagination. The body of the God Burying Sword Emperor turned into the God Burying Sword Province and left behind a remnant consciousness to set the rules and select outstanding disciples for him," the man with the sword mark said.
Fang Chen gradually came to a realization.
The so-called guardians were first to suppress the God Burying Sword Prison and second to select outstanding disciples for the God Burying Sword Emperor.
"The legend of the God Burying Sword Province being recognized by the God Burying Sword Emperor was spread by us guardians," the man with the sword mark continued.
Fang Chen was shocked. He hadn't expected the God Burying Sword Emperor to have left behind a remnant consciousness after his death. Furthermore, he had allowed later experts to compete for the position of guardian.
"Senior, may I ask if you've accepted any disciples in the past few years?" Fang Chen did his best to calm his shock.
The man with the sword mark shook his head. "Over the past few years, we eight guardians have chosen countless people as our reference. However, not a single one of us has met the requirements."
"Eight guardians?"
The man with the sword mark was much stronger than the peak Profound King Qin Yang.
And there were actually eight such Protectors.
Perhaps the eight of them were the true peak experts of the God Burying Sword Province.
As for the palace master of the Sword Burying Immortal Palace, he was nothing in front of the eight of them.
"Elder, could it be that you have brought me to this place because …" Fang Chen suddenly realized a problem. Immediately, an excited expression appeared on his face as he asked.
"Every once in a while, the eight of us would fall into a deep slumber. This time, I just happened to wake up from my slumber and met you." The man with the sword scar looked at Fang Chen and a smile appeared on his face.
Fang Chen was a little nervous.
"That's right. I brought you here because you've been recognized by the God Burying Sword Emperor," the man with the sword mark said.
Although Fang Chen was prepared for this, his heart was still in turmoil.
He had been recognized by the God Burying Sword Emperor so easily.
He had thought that he wouldn't know when he would be recognized by the God Burying Sword Emperor. Now that his wish had been fulfilled, he was at a loss.
"You're the only person who has been recognized by the God Burying Sword Emperor after his death," the man with the sword mark continued.
