He sighed, looking at Su Hao and Ying's retreating figures with a complicated expression, and said calmly, "I hope our speculation is wrong."

"But this is something we really should pay attention to, if those two really..."

The thought of his younger sister lying in Su Hao's arms made his empty fist hard for some reason.

Although he admitted that he greatly admired Su Hao and believed that Su Hao would inevitably choose the same path as him after discovering the truth in the future.

But how to describe this feeling?! Kong vaguely wanted to draw his sword and severely injure Su Hao first!

What do I care about the favor of three gods! So what if he's killed?!

Despite thinking this way, Sora took a deep breath, turned around, and prepared to leave.

The Abyss Apostle and Abyss immediately opened a portal, allowing His Highness to enter.

Soon, the Void, the Abyss Apostles, and the Abyss disappeared from the land of Liyue.

"........."

After they left, a short immortal appeared, holding a long spear. He stared at the spot where Kong had been standing earlier with considerable apprehension.

Clearly, he had been keeping a close eye on the other party, and if the other party made a move, he would also act decisively.

"Emperor."

Then, Xiao seemed to sense something and looked towards Liyue Harbor. He knelt on one knee and asked, "Should we follow them? The Abyss Order seems to have its eye on Su Hao."

"And that stranger seems to be related to him by blood, I'm worried..."

Xiao, who was observing everything from the shadows, already knew everything, even though he didn't listen to Su Hao and Kong's conversation.

However, Sora and Ying look so alike that Xiao guesses they must be related by blood.

He could choose not to follow Ying, because Su Hao was very strong. Xiao could sense from a distance that the other party had become much stronger than before.

The other party certainly has the ability to protect themselves, but what that prince of the Abyss Order is plotting is anyone's guess.

The other party had just left, but the spatial fluctuations could still be tracked. Xiao was confident that he could keep the other party there, so he asked the Emperor whether he should take action.

As long as the opponent is kept within Liyue territory, with the help of the various immortals and the Emperor, capturing them should not be a problem.

"nothing."

The Emperor's voice came from afar, calmly saying, "With me here, he won't make a move. You don't need to worry about Su Hao."

Xiao nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty... regarding the unusual activity in the Layered Rock Abyss..."

The Rock King Emperor seemed to fall silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This matter is not urgent; I have my own arrangements."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, a hint of surprise and delight flashed in Xiao's eyes. Clearly, he hadn't expected the Emperor to actually agree this time.

In the past, the Emperor would tell me that the Abyss of Layered Rocks was dangerous and that I should not go there.

For centuries, Xiao had always obeyed the Emperor's orders, but since the strange movements that came from the Abyss of Layered Rocks a few months ago, he had a new idea in his mind.

Xiao asked this on a whim, not because he thought the Emperor would agree, as the Abyss of Layered Rocks was indeed dangerous.

Others may not know what lies there, but Xiao and the other immortals know very well what happened in the Layered Rock Abyss.

"Yes." Xiao's voice was faintly excited.

After waiting for a while, Xiao realized that the Emperor had not replied, so he disappeared from the spot and continued his journey of digging up the earth.

At the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, Yan Wang Dijun—no, it should be Zhongli—sat in the sun, drinking tea, and sighed, “Perhaps this is an opportunity.”

"Opportunity, what opportunity?"

As Gui Zhong massaged Zhong Li's shoulders, she put on a bitter face and said, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed? Let me, the Demon God of Dust, massage your shoulders! Your identity will be obvious at a glance."

"As a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, shouldn't you be giving me a foot massage?! This is insubordination! You should... Ouch!"

Before Gui Zhong could finish speaking, a small stone hit her on the head, silencing her. She then continued massaging Zhong Li's shoulders.

Beside her, True Lord Liuyun, who remained in crane form, stood silently watching the scene with a smile.

Although it's unclear why the Emperor hides his identity, he must have his reasons for doing so, so I shouldn't investigate too much.

However, the Emperor said not to let Su Hao, Ella, Shen He, and others know his true identity, so she should also conceal it a little.

Thinking this, True Monarch Liuyun also flew into Su Hao's residence, leaving enough space for the two of them to spend time together.

After Liu Yun flew away on the wind, Gui Zhong's curiosity also surged.

"Liu Yun has left temporarily. Tell me quickly, what opportunity is it?"

While massaging Zhongli's shoulders, Gui Zhong asked curiously, "Don't leave things unsaid. This is the Hall of Rebirth. Although Hall Master Hu has temporarily left, she may return at any time."

"And Su Hao and the others are on their way. Don't shut up right when they arrive."

Over the past six months, Gui Zhong has gotten to know Zhong Li very well.

The Rock King Emperor of today is no longer the Rock King Emperor of the past.

Back then, the other party could be completely fooled by me, but now, after being fooled once, he immediately finds ways to retaliate and even punishes me.

Hmph! They'd rather pay you than accept it! What a blockhead!

All I do every day is massage my shoulders! Make tea! Play the piano!!! Can't I do something else?!

Upon hearing Gui Zhong's words, Zhong Li smiled slightly. He didn't intend to hide anything and said calmly, "Beneath the giant abyss of layered rocks, Fu She may still be alive, or she may have already died."

"?!"

Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed in Gui Zhong's eyes. She quickly said, "Fu She? He's still alive, but aren't all members of the Yaksha clan, except for Jin Peng,..."

Gui Zhong had only said half of what she wanted to say before falling silent. She continued massaging Zhong Li's shoulders, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

She was recalling the intelligence. In any case, her resurrection time was too short, only half a year. Liyue has a history of thousands of years since the Demon God War.

In six months, how could Gui Zhong possibly have thoroughly grasped all the intelligence? But she quickly found the intelligence she was looking for.

Fushe was corrupted by the lingering resentment of the demon god, went mad, and met the same fate as the other yakshas.

Unlike other Yakshas, ​​after he went mad, he seemed to retain some rationality. He left Liyue immediately and disappeared into the deep mountains and forests, his whereabouts unknown.

He wanted to die, but the remnants of the demon god corroded him too deeply, causing problems with his memory. His survival instinct led him to escape from Liyue.

When General Jinpeng, now known as the Demon-Subduing Great Sage Xiao, and the other immortals arrived, he had already vanished without a trace.

It just so happens that during that time, the Rock King, also known as Zhongli, had to temporarily leave Liyue for some business and was unable to find any trace of him.

Then came the Calamity of Kanria, when dark monsters began to invade Liyue from all sides, attacking the sea, land, and even the sky.

During that disaster, the remnants of the demon god became unusually active, and the demon god who had been sealed by the Rock King Emperor and the immortals almost broke free during this battle.

It was a war fought by the entire nation, with all combat-ready personnel in Liyue thrown into this brutal battle.

Zhongli, as the Rock King Emperor, traveled far and wide during this war, not only to Kanria to eliminate the calamity.

After returning to Liyue, they still have to suppress the dark monsters that attack from all directions.

The immortals were the same, with the incredibly fast Demon-Slaying Sage Xiao appearing on various battlefields.

On the other side of the Layered Rock Abyss, many Thousand Rock Army soldiers, sorcerers, and magicians were also dispatched.

Even some strong individuals from the common people and martial arts practitioners in the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) joined this battle to resist foreign enemies.

Due to its geographical location, the Lava Abyss was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the time, Liyue's high-end combat forces were dealing with various matters.

There were no immortals on the other side of the towering abyss, only mortals struggling to hold on, their only goal at the time being to buy time.

If the immortals and the emperor arrive at the Layered Rock Abyss, then the battle will be won.

Then... on the battlefield of the Layered Rock Abyss, an unnamed Yaksha appeared. He did not give his name, but he used lightning elemental power.

He sheltered a large number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers and assisted sorcerers and magicians in fighting against the dark beast tide.

Because of his involvement, the Dark Beast Tide of the Rock Abyss, which should have been dealt with at the very end, was brought to an end ahead of schedule.

Therefore, he mysteriously disappeared along with a large number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers, as well as dozens of sorcerers and magicians.

Upon learning of this news, all the immortals and the Rock King Emperor went to investigate, but ultimately found nothing.

No, it shouldn't be said that he gained nothing. As the Rock King Emperor, Zhongli clearly saw something, but he didn't say anything, he just sighed.

"Is it dangerous?"

Gui Zhong seemed to have guessed at some possibility. She looked at Zhong Li seriously and asked, "Should I make a move?"

Clearly, Gui Zhong intends to take action herself. Although she is a demon god who is not good at fighting, she is still a demon god after all.

He is the strongest person after Zhongli, and that's no exaggeration!

Even if Gui Zhong, who possesses full power, joins forces with his old friends, he will not be able to take him down.

Even the weakest demon god is not someone that immortals can defeat, let alone someone who ultimately relies on their brains.

She died in battle because her home was behind her. If she had taken a step back, her home would have been destroyed. She had no choice but to fight to the death, which ultimately led to her own demise.

"No."

Zhongli shook his head, stood up, and stopped Guizhong from massaging his shoulders. He gazed into the distance and said calmly, "If you go to that place, you will be in great danger."

"If humans go there, there might be opportunities, and if Su Hao goes, there might not even be any danger."

Gui Zhong frowned again. According to Zhong Li, someone as powerful as a demon god like himself would be in danger of dying if he went to the Layered Rock Abyss?

Su Hao wasn't even in danger in the past? Why is that?

“There is a higher level of power there.” Zhongli did not hide anything and said calmly, “Even I would not easily step into that place.”

After saying that, Zhongli looked into the distance and shut his mouth.

At this moment, Gui Zhong coughed, sat down on the recliner, then lay down and crossed his legs.

Gui Zhong looked at Zhong Li with an innocent smile and said, "This guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, you don't want your identity to be exposed, do you? Then you should know what to do, right?"

At this moment, Su Hao and his group came over, chatting and laughing. If they didn't want to reveal their identities, they should know what to do, right?

"…………"

Zhongli remained silent.

Chapter 244 Wow! What a huge bird!

Su Hao and the others arrived at the Hall of Rebirth. As soon as they arrived, they saw Zhong Li with a helpless expression on his face, and Gui Zhong lying on a chair with his legs crossed.
