Two people walked in from outside the room.

Xu Taiping has seen both of these two people.

They are the number three ghost general and the number eight ghost general.

"Hi!" Xu Taiping greeted them. Although he didn't know why they appeared here at night, he had seen him before, and Xu Taiping was essentially a very polite young man.

No. 3 and No. 8 seemed a little surprised that Xu Taiping would say hello to them, but then the two of them also greeted Xu Taiping.

"Have you killed the owner here?" Ghost General No. 3 looked at the corpse lying on the ground next to him and asked.

"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked, "It's so late. If you don't stay in the same ring, why are you here?"

"We'll go out to patrol." The Ghost General No. 8 explained, "It's our turn to go out to patrol tonight. We must pay attention to the dynamics of the entire City of Fear, deal with some possible emergencies, and then report to the Ghost King."

"So that's it, are you sitting together?" Xu Taiping said.

"This is inconvenient!" The Ghost General No. 8 shook his head, "We just saw the lights here, so come and take a look. We are going somewhere else soon."

"I want to sit here," said the Ghost General No. 3 with a smile, "No. 8, go patrol yourself, I'll roast the fire here."

"Okay!" The Ghost General No. 8 nodded, and then said to Xu Taiping, "No. 3 sits with you, I'll go out to patrol first."

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded.

Then, Ghost General No. 8 turned around and left, while Ghost General No. 3 walked to the edge of the fire and sat down.

"It's still warm here, it's so cold outside!" The third ghost general said, stretching his hands on the bonfire.

The flames rose very high, almost wrapping the hand of the Ghost General No. 3. However, the Ghost General No. 3 was not afraid at all. Explosive steam began to float on his hands. It was obvious that it was really cold outside just now.

"What kind of person is the Ghost King?" Xu Taiping suddenly asked.

"Oh?" The third ghost general looked at Xu Taiping and said in surprise, "Are you not interested in me at all? You didn't ask me, just ask the boss of the Ghost King?"

"I don't know what I can talk to you, because I'm not familiar with you. Of course, it's the key to not being interested in you." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Have you always spoke so straightforwardly? Look at your face, you must be wearing a human skin mask." said the No. 3 ghost general.

"Can you even see this?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Of course, I went out to live a long time ago." said the No. 3 ghost general.

"How old are you this year?" Xu Taiping asked.

"To be precise, it is eighteen years and eight months old." said the No. 3 ghost general.

"I didn't know anything when I was your age." Xu Taiping said.

"I don't know anything now!" said the No. 3 ghost general.

"At least you know what a real person's face is and what a face with a human skin mask is." Xu Taiping said.

"Hahaha, you are such a funny person. By the way, I haven't answered you what you asked me just now. I'll answer you now. The boss of the Ghost King is a very ambitious person." said the No. 3 ghost general.

"Ambition? What is his ambition? He has become the Ghost King and the King of this city. Is there anything else that he is not satisfied with?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Will people's hearts be satisfied?" asked the No. 3 ghost general.

"Of course people's hearts will not be satisfied." Xu Taiping said.

"Yes, you said it yourself. People's hearts will not be satisfied, and the Ghost King will not be satisfied. It is not only the king of this city, but also the king of warriors all over the world. He wants to prove to one person that it is wrong for that person to give up on him." said the third ghost general.

"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ghost King, who has given up?"

"His master." said the No. 3 ghost general.

"His master? Who is his master?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I don't know who his master is. The Ghost King said that his master is one of the greatest people in the world. His master has taken in many disciples, each of which is one of the best people in the martial arts world today. The Ghost King King is the only one who drove out of the master." said the Ghost General No. 3.

"Every one of his master's disciples is one of the best people in the martial arts world?" After hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly thought of someone. He asked, "Is his master's disciple called Tian Shen, War God, and Blood Domineering?"

"How do you know?" asked Ghost General No. 3 in surprise.

"How do I know?" Xu Taiping covered his forehead and smiled, saying, "Every of these people is one of the best people in the martial arts world today, and I know they are brothers. I really didn't expect that the Ghost King would be brothers of these people, and they have never said that."

"Because the Ghost King Boss was driven out of the master's sect, his fellow brothers would not recognize him." The third ghost general explained.

"How do you know so clearly?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because the Ghost King Boss told us these things, he said that one day he would kill all his fellow brothers one by one. Only in this way can it prove that his master drove him out of the sect was the biggest mistake!" said the Ghost General No. 3.

"Kill these people? Is the Ghost King joking? Each of them is the master with a combat power of over 80,000, especially Zhao Qingshan, whose combat power has exceeded 90,000. How could the Ghost King kill them?" Xu Taiping shook his head and said.

"The combat power is 80,000? What is that?" asked the No. 3 ghost general.

"That is something called a strength evaluation system that China has implemented all over the world, which can directly digitize your combat power. You are still young, but I don't recommend you stay here. Although it can make you stronger, it will also derail you from the world. By the way, what is your purpose in coming to the City of Fear?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Me? My purpose is to kill the Ghost King Boss." The No. 3 ghost general said with a smile.

"Kill the Ghost King?!" Xu Taiping looked at the No. 3 ghost general in surprise and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, one-on-one, killing the Ghost King, this is my accomplishment... Human mission, I have to kill the Ghost King Boss so that I can truly become the core of our family, but this is too difficult. When I was over 16 years old, I entered the City of Fear and wanted to kill the Ghost King Boss, but I didn't do it. Then I kept strengthening myself. Now I am over 18 years old, but I still haven't succeeded. It's really annoying!" The No. 3 ghost general sighed.

"Your family? What family are you?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Secret." The No. 3 ghost general smiled and blinked at Xu Taiping, then said, "I have been out of time for eight months, and according to the current situation, it may take me a long time to kill the Ghost King Boss. During this period, I will not allow anyone to steal my prey."

"For example, me?" Xu Taiping asked.

"You? You can't kill the Ghost King Boss, only I can." The third ghost general shook his head and said.

"Does the Ghost King know you want to kill him?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I know, the boss of the Ghost King said that the reason why I kept me by his side was to stimulate him to make continuous progress. The boss of the Ghost King is actually very good, but sometimes he is a little paranoid." said the Ghost General No. 3.

"Then why did your family ask you to kill the Ghost King? Is it just a family mission?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes." The ghost general of No. 3 nodded, "This is just a simple family mission. Our family is a very magical family. Children in the family must start to accept the family's mission after they are sixteen years old. Generally, they are required to complete it at the age of eighteen. However, sometimes they can be delayed. For example, when the goal is difficult to solve, it can be delayed until the target is killed. My mission is very difficult, so the family delayed me. I heard that my brother also took on the family mission last month, and his mission is even more difficult. The target that the family asked him to hunt was an Asian richest man. I forgot what his name is. Anyway, that person heard that he was very powerful."

"Asian richest man?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Are you sure your family asked him to hunt down an Asian richest man?"

"Yes, it seems that he is a person with the surname Xu, and I don't remember it very clearly. My brother came to me once more than half a month ago and said he was going to China to find what Xu is called. I guess he is in danger. If he dies, I will be very sad." The No. 3 ghost general sighed.

"Your family is really amazing. You actually let a teenage child kill the richest man in Asia. Isn't this asking for death? Do you know how strong the richest man in Asia is? More than 70,000! Among all the warriors in all countries in the world, he ranks in the top ten, do you know?" Xu Taiping said.

"The top ten martial artists in all countries in the world? Haha, although I don't know how you got the ranking, but... I can be sure that you didn't even rank among the very powerful guys in our family. And not only our family, there are many other very powerful people, you definitely didn't rank among the many." The No. 3 ghost general said.

"The strength evaluation system has been promoted all over the world." Xu Taiping said.

"You don't understand." The third ghost general shook his head and said, "Do you know the second world?"

"I know." Xu Taiping nodded, "Outside us, if we have more than 60,000 combat power, we will enter the second world."

"Oh, you should measure whether you enter the second world from the perspective of combat effectiveness. Then I roughly estimate that if 60,000 combat power is the standard for entering the second world, then... 90,000 combat power should be the standard for entering the third world." said the third ghost general.

"Third World?" Xu Taiping looked at the No. 3 ghost general in surprise. He had never heard of any third world.
