"It's over, it's over, Master Cang Lang must be in love, look at those eyes, full of affection!"

"No way, our great Master Cang Lang actually fell in love with an outsider?"

"Not exactly an outsider, right? He inherited the legacy of the ancestors, so he should be considered part of our Guardian clan."

"Heh, without the swordsmanship, do we Guardians still have any meaning?"

"Boohoo, give me back my great goddess, Master Cang Lang..."

The Guardians were privately gossiping.

The topic of most discussion was naturally Cang Lang.

Cang Lang, as the strongest talent among the Guardians, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

While Su Chen was in a coma, Cang Lang stayed by Su Chen's bedside.

Even Sword One the clan leader announced that Su Chen wouldn't survive.

However, Cang Lang believed that Su Chen would come back to life.

Cang Lang naturally believed.

After all, Su Chen's blood had such a powerful self-healing ability.

Even with all his meridians severed.

He could recover.

He had no reason to die.

"A miracle, it's simply a miracle!" A day later, Su Chen regained consciousness.

Sword One's eyes widened.

A day before, Su Chen was severely injured and near death.

But in just one day.

Su Chen actually woke up.

And could even get out of bed.

Is this kid really like a cockroach?

Su Chen's awakening was certainly great news.

But for the Guardian clan.

There was no room for joy.

Because this time, their losses were too great.

Among five hundred Guardians, now only seventy-three remained.

Two hundred of them died in battle with Asura.

Another two hundred were turned to stone by Medusa's curse.

"Now that the legacy of our ancestors is gone, we have no reason to continue guarding." Sword One seemed to age many years in an instant.

A thousand years of persistence destroyed in one fell swoop.

Even the Guardian Divine Beast was petrified into a statue.

The only consolation was the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique.

That it was not obtained by the wrong people.

Of course, Sword One couldn't guarantee that Su Chen wasn't a bad person.

Or that Su Chen would never become one.

But it was still better than it falling into Asura's hands.

"So, Clan Leader Sword One, what do you plan to do?" Cang Lang asked.

"Plan? What can I plan? I've decided to let everyone return to the secular world, staying here is just a waste of time." Sword One sighed.

Indeed, these Guardians existed their whole lives to guard the Sword Tomb.

Now the Sword Tomb no longer needed their protection.

They didn't know what to do anymore.

Perhaps returning to the secular world to live as ordinary people was a good choice.

"What about you, Cang Lang?" Sword One looked at Cang Lang.

Cang Lang's return.

It was supposed to be a cause for great joy.

But now, there was nothing to be happy about.

The Guardian clan would soon no longer exist.

Making Cang Lang, the strongest talent, meaningless.

"I've discussed it with Su Chen, we want to find a way to break Medusa's curse." Cang Lang replied.

"Undo the curse? Can it really be undone?" Sword One shook his head.

They've turned to stone.

Can they really turn back?

"Whether we can or not, we have to try." Cang Lang said.

"Alright." Sword One nodded slightly.

It's always good to have hope.

Even though it's clear that hope might not materialize.

As for Su Chen.

He must find a way to break Medusa's curse.

Because Liu Jie, Tang Yi, as well as the people of Huangshan Village, and that silhouette standing at the mountain's peak for years because of him...

As for the Ban Cun man, he had to go back to report the situation here.

After a day's rest, Su Chen and Cang Lang were ready to set off.

They needed to find Medusa's head.

Medusa's head was initially in Ghost's possession.

But eventually, Ghost was torn apart by the Nether Wolf.

So Medusa's head should now be in the Shura King's possession.

However, during the battle with Su Chen.

The Shura King didn't bring out Medusa's head.

Perhaps the Shura King thought he didn't need Medusa's head to deal with these Guardians.

Snatching Medusa's head from the Shura King wouldn't be an easy task.

"By the way, we've set up many monitors in the Sword Tomb, maybe we can find out what happened after Ghost was eaten." Sword One suddenly remembered something.

"That's great, let's check it out." Su Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Retrieving the surveillance footage.

Su Chen saw Ghost being torn apart by the Nether Wolf.

Ultimately, completely devoured.

Medusa's head rolled onto the ground.

Then, the Shura King approached.

Trying to pick up Medusa's head.

However, just as the Shura King picked up Medusa's head and put it in a box.

A figure suddenly appeared.

Snatching the box from the Shura King.

The Shura King was furious.

Immediately launched an attack on the mysteriously appearing figure.

Unfortunately, his attack missed.

That figure disappeared without a trace.

"Medusa's head isn't with the Shura King!" Cang Lang's eyes widened.

Who could be so bold as to steal from the Shura King?

However, upon seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

He said, "Perhaps, we don't need to go after Medusa's head!"

"Why?" Cang Lang asked in confusion.

"Because I know who took Medusa's head!"

Yes, the person who suddenly appeared and stole Medusa's head from the Shura King was none other than Gu Niwei'er!

Although it was just a brief glimpse, and the person had completely wrapped themselves up.

Su Chen recognized Gu Niwei'er from the figure's silhouette at a glance.

"Just from a fleeting figure, you can determine who it is?" Cang Lang narrowed his eyes and asked.

Su Chen nodded, "I'm certain."

Hearing Su Chen's answer, Cang Lang bit his lip, his expression somewhat unsettled.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Chen noticed the change in Cang Lang's expression and asked.

"You're quite familiar with her, aren't you?" Cang Lang paused for a moment before saying.

"I suppose so..." Su Chen scratched his head.

"You must be very familiar, otherwise, how could you instantly tell who she was?" Cang Lang said.

From the footage, that figure was fleeting; the only thing Cang Lang could ascertain was that the figure belonged to a woman.

But Su Chen could tell who it was.

He definitely had to be very familiar with her to make that determination.

Su Chen looked at Cang Lang, his expression playful: "Miss Cang Lang, do you know what expression you have right now?"
