Wang Chan was already dead, and what occupied his body now was an unknown old ghost. But since the other party knew his true identity, he could not let him live.
Tang Luo never liked to gamble his life on others. Although it seemed that the old ghost would probably not expose the secret that Gou Chen was actually Tang Luo, as he also needed Tang Luo to keep the secret that he was not Wang Chan.
However, in reality, both wished nothing more than the immediate death of the other. Why else would the old ghost waste so much time talking in place if not to stall him, waiting for the Wang Clan's reinforcements?
Gou Chen and the old ghost must die, one of them, for the secret to be forever sealed away.
Therefore, killing Wang Chan became the only choice, and he was now closer than ever to this goal.
