Chapter 101

"Over there... what are they all crowding around for?"

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, a hint of puzzlement in his expression.

Well, since I have nothing to do right now, joining the crowd shouldn't be bad.

Thinking thus, Jiang Yan walked toward the place where the crowd had gathered.

Before he could get close, he heard constant shouting from within the crowd.

"Well said!"

"Mr., tell another one! Your storytelling is just too good!"

"That's the real deal~"

Yo! What's that? Sounds pretty good?

Hearing the praises from the people around him, Jiang Yan's eyes couldn't help but grow curious.

Pushing his way through the crowd, Jiang Yan squeezed his way to the front.

The attention of the people around seemed entirely drawn to some object, and they paid no mind to Jiang Yan's actions.

As Jiang Yan drew closer, he saw that the person the crowd had gathered around was a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache.

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and bowed to the people around him.

"With your kind favor, I shall tell another tale!"

"This time, we shall speak of matters concerning my lord, the Immortal Lord!"

Having finished speaking, the sound of whispers from the surrounding crowd entered Jiang Yan's ears.

"Immortal Lord? Is it our lord, the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord?"

"It must be; only that one is addressed as Immortal Lord!"

"Never mind the rest, I love listening to this!"

"Really, this Mr. has told stories about the Immortal Lord several times before; they are especially good, though I wonder what he will tell this time!"

Jiang Yan frowned, a look of curiosity in his eyes.

Stories about me?

And several times?!

Hmm???

Jiang Yan had not expected that, while merely curious and coming over to watch the drama,

he would end up watching his own drama!

Interesting!

But to be honest, shouldn't this be called a storyteller?

Did storytellers become popular at this time?

Jiang Yan rubbed his chin, his eyes filled with thought.

Moments later, he discarded his brain and gave up thinking.

Who cares! It's better to have a storyteller, isn't it? It can enrich the leisure life of the common people.

Besides, he was curious too.

What matters of his would this storyteller speak of?

Under the gaze of Jiang Yan and the surrounding common people, this middle-aged storyteller cleared his throat lightly and began to speak.

【Rumor has it that a hundred years ago, during the initial alliance between the Emperor Lord, the Immortal Lord, and Lady Guizhong】

【At that time, the Gui Li Plain was just established, and demons rose up all around; the Northern Chi Dragon and the Western Dream Demon! All were the top great demons of that era!】

【To protect the peace and tranquility of the Gui Li Plain, the Immortal Lord advised the Emperor Lord to form the Thousand Rock Army to resist invasions from all directions!】

【Later, the Chi Dragon gathered the demons and moved south toward Gui Li, intending to invade.】

【The Immortal Lord, following the Emperor Lord's command, led over ten thousand soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army north to resist the Chi Dragon's invasion.】

【This was the Thousand Rock Army's first war, and also the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord's battle that made him famous!】

【The war erupted suddenly the instant the two sides met; that battle was fought so fiercely that the sky and earth darkened, and the sun and moon reversed...】
