Long River Eternity

When many viewers heard what Youwen said, they started talking about it.

"What did he say? Did he admit defeat?" a spectator looked puzzled.

"It seems like he's admitting defeat." The audience next to him was also puzzled, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.

"Jinwu has indeed admitted defeat. I heard it clearly." Another spectator confirmed at this time.

"The dignified Golden Crow actually admitted defeat?" The audience member who first asked the question widened his eyes in surprise.

"It's a life-and-death challenge. If you don't admit defeat, you'll have to decide between life and death. Maybe he thinks he's no match for that chaotic body and is afraid of death." A viewer speculated.

At this moment, Yang An, who was standing opposite You Wen, was holding a 40-meter-long spear and staring at You Wen with a strange expression, fearing that he might be playing some tricks. So he asked, "What did you say? Are you going to admit defeat?"

"Yeah, I can't beat you anyway. How can I, the great Golden Crow, die here?" You Wen sat on the ground, covering her severed hand, and said indifferently.

In a life-and-death challenge, except for death, all injuries will be recovered when returning to reality, so even if she broke an arm, Yo-wen didn't care.

"Aren't you going to avenge your elder brother?" Yang An put away the spear in his hand and asked jokingly.

"It's not you who really got angry. There's no point in killing you. Besides, I can't beat you." Youwen replied calmly.

"It turns out that he is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong." Yang An said with a hint of disdain.

"Oh, that's wrong. It's called knowing the times and being a hero. Even if I risk my life, the chances of defeating you are low, and the chances of killing you are even lower. Why should I take the risk?" Youwen stood up and continued, "I've already admitted defeat. The challenge is about to end. Can you tell me your identity and physical condition?"

"No, I'll tell you if we can still meet alive next time." Yang An shook his head.

"What does it mean to meet each other alive?" Youwen asked puzzledly.

Just then, the settlement time came, and the two figures gradually faded and finally disappeared. Youwen only saw Yang An reveal a mysterious smile at the end.

On the sea, a huge sacred tree towers into the clouds. From a close distance, it looks more like a tree-shaped island than a big tree.

Wooden houses of different sizes are built on the tree branches, and above the clouds, nine suns sit on the treetops, like fruits produced by the trees.

At this moment, a golden crow in the last sun slowly opened its eyes, looked towards the north, and muttered to itself: "Yang An? Strange physique, mysterious identity, interesting. Next time I see him, I must defeat him."

After saying this, Jinwu closed his eyes again and entered a state of cultivation.

Yang An's consciousness returned to reality at this time. He woke up, chuckled, and said to himself: "It has to be you, Youwen. In the future, you can survive under Yi's arrows. Is it because of your thick skin?"

Yang An slowly stood up, feeling something was wrong. He then looked around and found that all the spectators in the square were looking at him, and there was silence in the place.

At this time, Yang Nian and the other two quickly walked towards Yang An. When they reached Yang An, Shi Gang whispered, "Leave quickly. Your Chaos Body has been exposed. Now everyone knows about it. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."

Yang An asked in surprise, "You Wen didn't even realize I was a Chaos Body, how did they know?"

"Don't you know that there are masters among the people? Stop wasting time and let's go." Shi Gang said anxiously, pulling Yang An and about to leave.

Just as Yang An was about to turn around, a figure appeared in front of him. It was a beautiful woman in a light yellow dress. She bowed to Yang An and said, "Young Master Yang, I am Xiao Pan'er, a disciple of Wu Zhen, one of the ten witches under the Queen Mother of the West. I wonder if I could be your friend?"

Before he finished speaking, the others saw that someone had taken the initiative to make friends with Yang An, and they all squeezed towards Yang An.

Yang An and the other three were horrified when they saw this. Yang An said hastily to Xiao Pan'er, "Miss, we'll meet again if we're lucky." He then jumped out of the crowd and ran towards the inn without looking back. Behind him followed a group of people who wanted to make friends with Yang An or Ye Tingxue.

The four of them ran around Tianshui City several times before finally shaking off the following crowd and returning to the inn. They sat down on the chairs, panting, with helpless expressions on their faces.

Flying is prohibited in Tianshui City, so the four people can only circle the city with the crowd. However, the admirers are numerous and powerful, and they are all powerful monks. In order to break through the siege, the four people are all exhausted.

"This group of people is too crazy. They chased us for a whole hour. I'm so tired." Ye Tingxue said breathlessly.

"That's right, isn't it just the Chaos Body and the Heavenly Soul Body? Is that so serious?" Shi Gang said unhappily.

"Knock, knock, knock" At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Oh my god, they've chased us to the inn. What should we do? Should we jump out the window and run away?" Shi Gang asked in a low voice with a panicked look on his face.

"Shh, don't make any noise, pretend you're not here." Yang Nian said in an almost inaudible voice.

"Knock, knock, knock" the knock on the door sounded again.

Finding no one to open the door, the person outside did not leave. Instead, he waited for a moment and then said, "Young Master Yang, I am Yu Qiang, a subordinate of Lord Gonggong of the Water God Palace. I am not chasing you. Please open the door."

After hearing this, Ye Tingxue whispered, "Yu Qiang? Isn't that Xuanwu?"

"Yes, it seems that he is indeed Gonggong's man. No one dares to pretend to be Gonggong's man in Tianshui City. I will go open the door." Yang An said after thinking for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the door.

When he opened the door, he saw three people standing outside. The leader was a man who looked to be in his 40s. He was wearing a well-cut black robe with a tortoise shell pattern outlined with black silk thread. He had a white snake-patterned belt around his waist. He exuded a meticulous, calm and introverted temperament.

Behind him were two guards wearing dark blue light armor.

When Yang An saw Yu Qiang, he bowed and said, "I am Yang An, and I am honored to meet His Majesty the Black Emperor."

Over the past month, Yang An has read a lot of books, compared them with the myths and legends he knew, and gained a certain understanding of some important figures of this era.

Xuanwu is Gonggong's confidant and the steward of the Water God Palace. It can be said that he is second only to Gonggong in Tianshui City and even in the entire Beiming.

His real name is Yu Qiang, and his true form is Xuanwu. People call him Black Emperor. He is one of the Four Emperors along with White Emperor Baihu of the Western Region, Blue Emperor Qinglong of the Eastern Wasteland, and Red Emperor Zhuque of the Southern Border.

Gonggong actually asked Xuanwu to personally invite Yang An and others, which shows that he attaches great importance to them.

Seeing Yang An, Xuanwu smiled and said, "Young Master Yang is young and promising. You made it into the top ten on your first try. You also possess a Chaos Body, a rare form seen only once in a thousand years. I also heard that you also possess a rare Heavenly Soul Body. Lord Gonggong values ​​you very much and has asked me to personally invite you to a gathering at the Water God Palace. I wonder if you would do me the honor."

Yang An bowed again and said, "I am grateful for the favor from Lord Gonggong. I have long admired the names of both Lord Gonggong and Lord Black Emperor. I feel deeply honored to be able to visit the Water God Palace."

Xuanwu's smile widened, and he was very satisfied with Yang An's words, so he said: "In this case, please ask Mr. Yang and your companions to go to the Water God Palace immediately. Lord Gonggong has prepared a banquet to welcome you."
