A moment later, he finally spoke, "Kid, do you know the Great Emperors?"

Su Yang's expression was calm, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly. "Whether Great Emperor Wushi knows me or not is his business."

He turned around and looked at everyone present, slowly saying, "Everyone, today's matter is concluded. The life of the Void Great Emperor was magnificent."

"Today we spoke of his path to becoming an Emperor. Another day, we will speak of his heroic deeds in his later years, so that everyone can understand his greatness more."

The crowd nodded one after another, seemingly choosing to ignore the scene of Su Yang's powerful display just now.

"Mister Su, can we listen to you tell stories again?"

"After hearing your stories, I have no interest in what other storytellers have to say."

"Who isn't like that? The stories Mister Su tells are so wonderful that they are unforgettable. I really want to know now, after the Void Great Emperor, there were still one hundred and twenty-six Great Emperors. Will Mister Su tell us about them one by one?"

The crowd chatted in low voices, then gradually got up and left the inn.

Seeing this, Third Holy Mother also didn't linger, slowly got up, and walked out of the inn's door.

As Changxi left, she looked back at Su Yang, her eyes filled with a hint of attachment, her heart a mix of emotions. Xi He, standing beside her, couldn't help but sigh softly.

In Xi He's opinion, although Su Yang had extraordinary aspects, he had also provoked beings he shouldn't have.

Not to mention the Immortal King Anlan he brought, who not only angered the Heavenly Dao but also completely offended the Earthly Dao!

It could be said that in a short period, Su Yang had formed karma with two great powers.

One was the Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace, the teacher of the Six Sages!

The other was Empress Houtu, who managed the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Such a situation was undoubtedly extremely tricky for Su Yang. Seeing Changxi developing feelings for Su Yang, Xi He felt helpless.

"Perhaps I should limit the number of times Changxi comes to listen to stories," Xi He mused inwardly.

The City God put away the jade stones in his hand, his eyes still lingering with shock. He had originally intended to collect some stories today and sell them to other powerhouses or the Demon Clan in the Three Realms for some profit.

But what happened today had already spread throughout the Three Realms, known to everyone. The jade stones had naturally lost their value.

Recalling the Immortal King Anlan standing above the Nine Heavens, carrying the Heavenly Abyss, wielding the Immortal Shield to resist Heavenly Punishment, and even fighting one against two against a Quasi-Sage and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal working together, the City God's heart was greatly stirred, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At the same time, he also became very interested in Su Yang's true identity.

As Nuwa left, she glanced at Su Yang inadvertently, a thought seeming to surface in her mind. When she accidentally noticed Ruthless Great Emperor standing beside Su Yang and saw the bronze mask hanging from her waist, her expression suddenly changed slightly.

She suddenly remembered something. In the stories Su Yang had told before, in that Shrouding the Heavens World, there had appeared a woman who had amazed all ages. Ruthless Great Emperor!

The line "Not to become an immortal, but only to have you in the mortal world" had moved so many people, and made countless listeners cry, including Nuwa herself. And now, the bronze mask worn by the woman before her was exactly the same as the one described by Su Yang as being worn by Ruthless Great Emperor.

A bold idea surfaced in Nuwa's mind.

"Could the events that happened in the Shrouding the Heavens World all be personally experienced by this young man!?"

She was extremely shocked. If the woman before her was indeed the Ruthless Great Emperor that Su Yang spoke of, then this young man's origins would be extraordinary.

This thought, once it appeared in her mind, caused waves to surge in Nuwa's heart. If that were the case, was Great Emperor Wushi also from the Shrouding the Heavens World? Was he also one of those legendary one hundred and twenty-seven Great Emperors? Would that Immortal King Anlan, who called himself an Immortal King, also be one of the powerhouses Su Yang would speak of in the future?

As soon as this idea emerged, ripples spread through Nuwa's heart. Perhaps the stories of the Shrouding the Heavens World were not fictional! If so, would the peerless powerhouses in the Shrouding the Heavens World descend upon the Primordial World one day? If that day truly came, what kind of drastic changes would the Primordial World face?

Nuwa's eyes flickered, and she then quietly glanced at Su Yang before slowly walking out of the inn. What she had heard and seen today was enough for her to digest slowly.

After the audience had dispersed, Su Yang stretched, finally breathing a sigh of relief. The development of everything had exceeded his expectations. Fortunately, with the Anlan Summoning Card and the Great Emperor Wushi Summoning Card, the crisis had been resolved.

Looking at the remaining more than ten thousand points in the system, Su Yang felt a slight regret.

If not for the unexpected incident midway, my points would have started at least at a hundred thousand.

However, Su Yang quickly adjusted his mindset.

This upheaval might bring even greater rewards.

The great divine abilities from the Three Realms, after that recent battle, had all turned their attention to him.

Therefore, during the next sermon, he might be able to earn more points from those powerful figures.

As he was pondering, a golden light suddenly flashed across the sky!

A youth of about fifteen or sixteen years old appeared out of thin air above the inn!

He held a red-tasseled spear, stood on wind-fire wheels, was wrapped in red silk, and had a golden hoop circling his head!

This person was none other than the Great God of the Three AltarsNezha!

"It's Nezha?" Su Yang was slightly taken aback. Why would he appear in Qingshan City?

Nezha, standing on his wind-fire wheels above Qingshan City, fixed his gaze on the inn, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion and curiosity.

He was surprised to find that the inn seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

This discovery made Nezha suspicious and even more curious.

Who were the Void Great Emperor and Immortal King Anlan who had appeared earlier?

How had they managed to conceal themselves from everyone's perception and appear so quietly?

What puzzled him even more was that these two beings, whose power was unfathomable, should not be unknown, yet he had never heard their names.

Nezha looked at the inn, realizing he couldn't see through its mysteries, and couldn't help but feel a spark of interest.

Strange, he could clearly sense the activity within the inn when he was in the Lingxiao Palace earlier, but now it was like looking through fog, elusive and hard to grasp.

"Third Prince, we have already inquired from the Earth God outside Qingshan City, and the Seventh Princess's whereabouts this time have been confirmed."

Not long after, Jade Rabbit quietly appeared beside Nezha and whispered the information she had gathered from the Earth God of Qingshan City.

Nezha nodded slightly after hearing this, his gaze swept over an unremarkable inn within Qingshan City, and then he turned to leave.

Jade Rabbit sensed the meaning behind Nezha's glance and instinctively looked in the direction of the inn, but found nothing unusual.

"Does the Third Prince also enjoy listening to stories?" Jade Rabbit had such a thought, but she didn't dwell on it. After all, the Third Prince's preferences had nothing to do with her.

Watching Nezha and Jade Rabbit leave one after the other, flying towards the depths of Qingshan, Su Yang couldn't help but show a hint of confusion.

He had initially thought they were coming for him, but it seemed that was not the case. Instead, they appeared to be in a hurry with something important to attend to.

"Hey, kid, what are you staring at over there?"

Black Emperor, holding a chicken leg in one hand, couldn't help but ask, seeing Su Yang's gaze fixed on the sky.

He looked up but saw nothing.

"Just saw an acquaintance, nothing important," Su Yang said, taking a deep breath.

Turning and seeing Black Emperor pull out another chicken leg from somewhere, his eyebrows immediately shot up, and he couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, where did this chicken leg come from?"

"You mean this?" Black Emperor grinned, pulling out a ring from his body and handing it over. "I smelled something delicious just now, so I found a shop that was open and went to take a look."

"That shop was unguarded. This Emperor was kind-hearted and decided to guard it for them for a while. When the owner returned, he gave me a bunch of chicken legs."

After speaking, Black Emperor took another bite and asked vaguely, "Do you want some?"

"I suspect the owner wanted to rip you off," Su Yang said, torn between laughter and tears.

He didn't dare to believe a single word Black Emperor said. He figured the so-called "guarding the shop" was just an excuse after Black Emperor had stolen food.

Boom!

Suddenly, a muffled thunderclap came from the direction of the distant Qingshan, making the ground seem to tremble slightly. It immediately caught both of their attention.

Black Emperor's expression turned serious as he looked at the mountain range and said, "Kid, your territory is really quite strange. Someone is fighting over there again."

"Can you tell their cultivation level?" Su Yang asked with a frown.
