"Look!" After a few seconds of silence, I turned on the camera.

The first scene that appeared seemed to introduce the figures at a gathering, scanning across everyone's faces one by one.

I actually saw Xiang Kai among those people.

So, the person who recorded the video wasn't Xiang Kai?

Before I could recover from my shock, the scene had already slid past Xiang Kai's face and landed on Bu Youming.

Huanglong, Xiang Kai.

Teng She, Bu Youming.

Qilin, Yan Junyi.

Gou Chen, Xia Xiaotian.

As I silently counted the Left Four Guardians, another group appeared in the lens, dressed in black, their faces covered with black scarves, and silver Qilin embroidered on their clothes.

Gou Chen Guardians?

I once heard Chen Shuyu say that among the Thick Earth Eight Guardians, there were actually only three of the Left Four. When the Qilin appear, the Gou Chen hide. When the Gou Chen appear, the Qilin retreat.

In legends, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, these four divine beasts, have never changed. However, the divine beast located in the center, belonging to earth, has different versions.

Different classics also have different records, but they don't stray far from Huanglong, Teng She, and Qilin. The Left Four Guardians take their names from the central divine beasts.

However, according to records in some classics, Gou Chen is actually the Qilin.

Back then, when the Emperor established the Thick Earth Eight Guardians, he simultaneously established the Gou Chen and Qilin Guardians in order to have them appear alternately.

Chen Shuyu had always wondered why the Emperor had made such an arrangement? However, "Ghost Eye" had never been able to find out the exact reason.

The only news they got was that the Gou Chen Guardians had already perished, so Xiang Kai and the others brought Xia Xiaotian into Di Xiansheng, completing the missing Gou Chen Guardians.

How could the Gou Chen Guardians appear at this time, and why are they covering their faces with black scarves?

Cang Tianji also said, "The Gou Chen Guardians aren't living people; the aura of death on them is too heavy. I can tell that these people have already died without even needing to deduce it."

"These Gou Chen Guardians are probably up to no good."

As Cang Tianji was speaking, the scene changed again.

This time, the person was filming the Right Four Guardians.

Although Jiang Chen and Ying Gou were standing together, Ying Gou's position was clearly one step behind; he had already submitted to Jiang Chen.

Hei Ye Xiao and Lao Liu stood in the distance, not only keeping their distance from Jiang Chen but also carrying a sense of equality.

At this moment, I noticed that the person filming the video should be standing in Hanba's position.

The Right Four Guardians, named after the Four Great Zombies, have also cultivated zombie bodies.

Hanba had already had his soul scattered, leaving only a corpse. Could it be that in order to complete the Thick Earth Eight Guardians, Jiang Chen found another zombie to replace Hanba?

As I was wondering about this, I heard Ling say softly, "Could Bu Ting be in Hanba's position?"

"It's possible!" I said in a deep voice, "After we came out of Da Meng Xiang, both Bu Youming and Xiang Kai confirmed that they saw Bu Ting."

"As an older generation Teng She, Bu Ting should have participated in the gathering. Bu Ting isn't in the lens; he's very likely the one filming the video."

"Could it be that he also imitated the Right Four Guardians and cultivated a zombie body?"

As Ling and I were talking, Jiang Chen had already said, "Today, I have invited everyone to the Zhenning Terrace gathering for only one purpose. That is, I, Jiang Chen, will replace the Emperor."

"I don't want to say much about the reasons. I only ask you one question: Are you willing to join me in opening the Land of Souls and releasing the Emperor's will?"

This is what Jiang Chen should be saying!

Although I had only interacted with Jiang Chen once, I could feel the strength and arrogance in his character.

He doesn't need to explain what he wants to do to anyone.

There is only doing or not doing, going or not going.

While the Thick Earth Eight Guardians remained silent, Ying Gou stepped forward and said, "If you are worried about the Zhu Ni imprints on your bodies and are afraid to follow the new king, I can tell you that you don't need to have such concerns."

"The new king has already found a way to solve the Zhu Ni imprints. As long as you nod, I guarantee that the new king can erase the imprints on your bodies."

"In addition, I advise you to consider it carefully."

Hei Ye Xiao asked indifferently, "Jiang Chen, I would like to know, what do you want to do after you become the Emperor?"

Jiang Chen said coldly, "I don't need to explain what I want to do to you. If, for the sake of our past relationship, you are unwilling to follow me, you can leave this place with the key. I will not pursue it."

Hei Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I probably know why you want to devour the Emperor's will."

"Back then, you, the Emperor, and Jiu Guan Dao Ren encountered the Empress at the same time."

"The Empress was only attracted to Jiu Guan Dao Ren, but Ye Qianyang was a cultivator and rejected the Empress's kindness. You and the Emperor pursued the Empress at the same time."

"The Empress quickly made a choice between you."

"You have always believed that the reason you lost to the Emperor was because you lacked that layer of identity."

As Hei Ye Xiao spoke, Jiang Chen's hands, which were hanging by his sides, were already clenched into fists.

Ying Gou said coldly, "Hou Qing, you talk too much."

"I am called Hei Ye Xiao!" Hei Ye Xiao said in a deep voice, "Jiang Chen, you want to devour the Emperor's will to become the new king and welcome the Empress again? When the Empress entered reincarnation, why didn't you go to reincarnation to search for the Empress?"
