Great Emperor Wushi

Hearing the words "Great Emperor Wushi," Ruthless Great Emperor's expression shifted slightly.

That person had been the last Great Emperor of humanity during the Desolate Ancient Era, an existence who had suppressed the Shrouding the Heavens Era, quelled the Dark Turmoil, and slain a clone of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

She seemed to have once caught a fleeting glimpse of that figure's back in the River of Time.

That person had stood between heaven and earth, untouched by the passage of time. He had looked like a young man in his twenties, with black hair flying freely,

His gaze had been as sharp as a torch, seeing through everything. With every gesture, the myriad Daos had submitted, and the entire universe had trembled before him.

It had been an unparalleled bearing.

Yet after hearing Black Emperor's words, Su Yang showed not the slightest respect.

Black Emperor had already been punished by him several times, wasting a huge number of points. How could that make Su Yang treat it politely?

He spoke blandly. "Are you saying that when you beat a dog, you have to consider its master?"

Upon hearing this, Black Emperor stamped its feet in anger. "Damn you! Why can't you understand what I mean? Forget it. I can't be bothered to reason with you. That would make this Emperor seem too vulgar."

Su Yang and Ruthless Great Emperor:

Black Emperor looked toward Su Yang, then said, "Kid, I remember now. You were the one who brought me out of that place, right?"

Su Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied calmly, "So what if I was?"

"So what?" Black Emperor puffed out its chest, its tone carrying a hint of arrogance, then continued,

"Since you once helped me, from now on, anyone who dares lay a finger on you will have to answer to this Emperor!"

"From now on, you're this Emperor's exclusive spirit beast. Behave yourself, follow this Emperor, and I'll guarantee you the finest food and drink."

Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Su Yang's face. He then replied,

"Sure. But I hope that after you learn about this world, you won't be scared away."

Su Yang understood Black Emperor's temperament better than anyone.

As one of the infamous yet loyal trio in the Shrouding the Heavens World, Black Emperor was not bad by nature. It could even be said to be loyal and deeply sentimental.

It was just that its behavior was strange, and it often did things that caught people off guard.

In the Shrouding the Heavens World, aside from Xiao Nannan, who had never been tricked by Black Emperor?

But at crucial moments, Black Emperor never hesitated. It knew right from wrong when it mattered.

"This Emperor would retreat? What a joke! Immortal King Wuzhong is my elder brother, and Immortal King Reincarnation is my younger brother. Who in this world could possibly make this Emperor afraid?"

Hearing Black Emperor's bold declaration, Su Yang nodded lightly. Beside him, a strange look also appeared on Ruthless Great Emperor's face.

Su Yang then took a book from his robes. It recorded information about the experts of the Primordial World. He tossed it to Black Emperor.

He said, "The experts mentioned in these books truly exist in the place you're in now."

"The strongest are only Saints. Could I, Black Emperor, really be unable to fight a Saint?" Black Emperor snorted coldly, its tone filled with disdain.

Ruthless Great Emperor's expression shifted slightly. She then reminded it, "The Immortal King Wuzhong and Immortal King Reincarnation you mentioned,

"In this world, are only equivalent to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm."

As soon as she said this, Black Emperor's eyes widened, its face filled with disbelief.

"You're not lying to this Emperor, are you? If you dare deceive me, watch out—I'll capture you and make you my slave!"

Ruthless Great Emperor's brows furrowed slightly, and her expression darkened.

When had she ever been so looked down upon?

She was not a good-tempered person.

As for Su Yang, he was the person she had waited for so long. She was willing to cooperate with him no matter what he said.

But Black Emperor's words had undoubtedly touched her bottom line.

At once, a terrifying pressure erupted from Ruthless Great Emperor. The aura of an Emperor at the pinnacle swept through the surroundings and bore down directly on Black Emperor!

Black Emperor instantly froze in place. Its legs went weak, and it shouted incredulously, "Fuck! An ancient Great Emperor! Kid, save me!"

Su Yang:

This was Black Emperor.

Just as infamous as the rumors claimed.

Inside the inn.

Su Yang and Ruthless Great Emperor sat to one side, their expressions calm.

Black Emperor, meanwhile, was immersed in the pure immortal qi filling the surroundings, utterly shocked.

"Fuck, kid, this Earthly Realm of yours is amazing! You can inhale immortal qi with every breath!"

Black Emperor gasped greedily, even sticking out its tongue as it ravenously sniffed the immortal qi permeating heaven and earth.

Seeing it like this, Su Yang felt somewhat embarrassed.

This was madness. If he had known, he never should have brought this thing out of the System Space. It was too humiliating!

Suddenly, Black Emperor's nose twitched lightly, as if it had noticed something unusual.

"Damn, why did so much demonic qi suddenly appear? This place of yours isn't a nest of monsters, is it?"

Su Yang immediately revealed a helpless expression. Ruthless Great Emperor was much steadier than Black Emperor,

Quietly sitting beside him and silently sensing the immortal qi around her, as though she had fallen into deep thought.

It seemed she had thought of something crucial.

As time passed, it was time for the inn to open its doors.

Su Yang slowly rose and stretched. He then said to Ruthless Great Emperor beside him,

"A lot of people will be coming in later. There will be powerful members of the demon race, human experts, and even immortals."

"If you're not used to it, the back courtyard is quiet."

Ruthless Great Emperor nodded in reply. "I'll find a quiet place and continue waiting for you."

Su Yang felt warmth in his heart. Although he knew that Ruthless Great Emperor was willing to wait for him because of the system's influence, hearing those words still touched him.

However, at that very moment, a jarring voice rang out.

"I saw through it long ago. There's definitely something going on between you two!"

Not far away, Black Emperor stood bolt upright, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a wine jug in the other, shouting loudly.

Su Yang and Ruthless Great Emperor were left speechless, unable to respond.

The inn's doors slowly opened, and the people who had been waiting outside for a long time streamed in.

There were demon kings of the demon race and human cultivators.

Many True Immortals and Golden Immortals were mixed among them as well, concealing themselves so perfectly that no one noticed.

But—

"Damn! Why are there suddenly so many auras at the Great Emperor level? Wait, these people don't have the marks of Great Emperors!"

Black Emperor's eyes widened in shock. "Could they all have achieved Alternative Dao Accomplishment? That doesn't seem right either!"

Hearing the voice, the crowd looked up one after another.

They saw a black dog wearing floral shorts, standing on two legs, holding a chicken leg and a wine jug, and pointing at and judging everyone.

"Y-y-youkai!"

"How can there be a monster in Mister Su's inn? We're doomed, we're doomed! Run!"

The listeners were terrified, but the crowd jammed at the entrance, making it impossible to escape.

Hearing the people around it, Black Emperor immediately felt dissatisfied. It then said coldly,

"What monster? Am I a monster? Hmph, should I take you all as servants?"

As soon as it finished speaking, it seemed to realize something and added, "But with your abilities, you're probably not qualified to become this Emperor's servants."

"Those few existences on the same level as the ones who achieved Alternative Dao Accomplishment might be acceptable."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang's face darkened. He rushed forward and kicked Black Emperor away, sending it flying straight through the window and out onto the street outside the inn.

"Awooo! Damn it! You brat, you ambushed this Emperor!"

Su Yang acted as if he had not heard and turned to the crowd. "Everyone, please forgive the disturbance. A while ago, I asked someone to find me a black dog, thinking it could ward off evil spirits."

"I didn't expect the dog to gain intelligence. But don't worry, everyone—it doesn't hurt people."
