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

He was the last Great Emperor of the Human Race from the Desolate Ancient era, who had suppressed the Shrouding the Heavens era, quelled the Dark Turmoil, and even killed a clone of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

It was as if he had caught a fleeting glimpse of that figure in the river of time.

That person stood between heaven and earth, untouched by the passage of years, appearing as a youth of about twenty, with black hair flying.

His gaze was piercing, seeing through everything; with every movement, all myriad paths submitted, shaking the universe.

It was an unparalleled presence.

Yet, after hearing the Black Emperor's words, Su Yang showed no respect.

He had been tricked by it multiple times before, wasting a large number of points. How could Su Yang be polite to it?

He spoke indifferently, "Are you saying that one must consider the owner before hitting a dog?"

The Black Emperor, upon hearing this, jumped up in anger, "Your grandma! Why don't you understand what this Emperor means? Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you, it makes this Emperor seem too vulgar."

Su Yang and the Ruthless Great Emperor:

The Black Emperor looked at Su Yang and then spoke, "Hey kid, if I recall correctly, you were the one who brought me out of that place, right?"

Su Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied with a hint of composure, "So what if it was me?"

"So what?" The Black Emperor raised its head and puffed out its chest, its tone carrying a hint of arrogance. "Since you've shown me kindness, from now on, if anyone dares to touch a single hair on your head, this Emperor will back you up!"

"From this day forward, you are this Emperor's exclusive spirit beast. Be obedient and follow this Emperor, and I'll ensure you live a life of luxury."

Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Su Yang's face, and he responded:

"Alright, but I hope that after you understand this world, you won't be scared away."

Su Yang knew the Black Emperor's personality all too well.

As one of the three notorious yet righteous figures in the Shrouding the Heavens World, the Black Emperor was not inherently bad. In fact, it could be said to be loyal and value relationships.

However, its behavior was eccentric, often doing things that caught people off guard.

In the Shrouding the Heavens World, besides Little Nannan, who hadn't been tricked by the Black Emperor?

But at critical moments, the Black Emperor never faltered and could distinguish right from wrong when faced with major issues.

"This Emperor will back down? What a joke! Immortal King Wuzhong is my elder brother, and Immortal King Reincarnation is my younger brother. Who in this world can make this Emperor afraid?"

Hearing the Black Emperor's boastful words, Su Yang nodded gently, and a strange expression also appeared on the Ruthless Great Emperor's face.

Then, Su Yang took out a tome recording information about the powerhouses of the Primordial World from his embrace and tossed it to the Black Emperor.

He said, "The powerhouses mentioned in these tomes truly exist in the place you are currently in."

"The strongest are no more than Sages. Can't this Black Emperor of mine handle a mere Sage?" the Black Emperor snorted coldly, its tone full of disdain.

The Ruthless Great Emperor's expression shifted slightly, and then it spoke to remind, "The Immortal King Wuzhong and Immortal King Reincarnation you mentioned, in this world, are equivalent to the realm of Grand Unity Golden Immortals."

Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor's eyes widened, its face filled with disbelief.

"You're not trying to trick this Emperor, are you? If you dare to play me, be careful, this Emperor will capture you and make you a slave!"

The Ruthless Great Emperor frowned, its expression darkening.

When had it ever been so underestimated?

It was not a person with a good temper.

And Su Yang was the person it had been waiting for, willing to cooperate with whatever he said.

But the Black Emperor's words had undoubtedly crossed its bottom line.

Instantly, a terrifying pressure erupted from the Ruthless Great Emperor, its peak Great Emperor aura sweeping through the surroundings, directly pressing down on the Black Emperor!

The Black Emperor froze on the spot, its legs going weak, and it shouted in disbelief, "Holy crap! An ancient Great Emperor! Kid, save me!"

Su Yang:

This was the Black Emperor.

As expected, its reputation was well-earned.

In the inn.

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

The Black Emperor, however, was immersed in the pure immortal energy pervading the surroundings, utterly shocked.

"Holy crap, kid, this place of yours is amazing! You can breathe in immortal energy just by taking a breath!"

The Black Emperor gasped for air, its tongue even sticking out, greedily sniffing the immortal energy that permeated the heavens and earth.

Seeing its state, Su Yang felt a bit embarrassed.

It was truly insane. He shouldn't have brought this guy out of the System space; it was too embarrassing!

Suddenly, the Black Emperor's nose twitched slightly, as if it had sensed something unusual.

"Damn, where did all this demonic energy come from all of a sudden? Isn't this place a den of monsters?"

Su Yang's expression immediately showed a hint of helplessness. The Ruthless Great Emperor, however, was much calmer than the Black Emperor.

She sat quietly beside him, calmly sensing the immortal energy around them, seemingly lost in thought.

It looked like she had thought of something crucial.

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

Su Yang slowly got up, stretched, and said to the Ruthless Great Emperor beside him:

"Quite a few people will arrive later, including powerful demons, human experts, and even immortals will appear."

"If you feel uncomfortable, the backyard is quiet."

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

Su Yang's heart warmed. Although he knew that the Ruthless Great Emperor was willing to wait for him due to the System's influence, he was still touched to hear her say that.

However, at this very moment, a sudden voice rang out.

"I knew it ages ago, you two definitely have something going on!"

Not far away, the Black Emperor, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a wine pot in the other, stood straight and said loudly.

Su Yang and the Ruthless Great Emperor were momentarily speechless, unable to retort.

The inn door slowly opened, and the crowd that had been waiting outside for a long time poured in.

There were demon kings from the Demon Clan and cultivators from the Human Race.

There were even many True Immortals and Golden Immortals mixed in, hidden extremely well, unnoticed by anyone.

But...

"Damn! How did so many Great Emperor-level auras appear at once? That's not right, these people don't have the mark of a Great Emperor!"

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

The crowd heard the sound and looked up.

They saw a black dog, wearing floral shorts, standing on its hind legs, holding a chicken leg and a wine pot, pointing and judging everyone.

"A m-monster!!"

"Why is there a monster in Mister Su's inn? It's over, it's over, run!"

The listeners were terrified, but the entrance was crowded, making escape impossible.

Hearing the discussions around him, the Black Emperor felt a surge of dissatisfaction, and then said coldly:

"What monster? Am I a monster? Hmph, do you want me to take you as servants?"

As soon as it finished speaking, it seemed to realize something and added, "However, you people are probably not qualified to be my servants."

"Those few who are on the same level as those with Alternative Dao Accomplishment might be."

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

"Awooo! Damn it! You sneak attacked me, you brat!"

Su Yang acted as if he hadn't heard, turning to the crowd and saying, "My apologies, everyone. I recently asked someone to find a black dog for me, thinking it could ward off evil."

"I didn't expect this dog to gain sentience, but don't worry, it doesn't harm people."
