Golden light pierced through the clouds.
The suffocating atmosphere dissipated almost entirely with the arrival of this golden rainbow.
Chang'an City.
Tens of thousands of imperial guards and all the civil and military officials looked up at the sky with their heads held high.
When they finally saw the figure in black, some breathed a sigh of relief, some had tears in their eyes, and some clenched their fists, their hearts filled with boundless hope.
I'm back.
The Grand Princess of the Great Tang, a divine being who single-handedly quelled two demonic calamities, has returned!
The golden light faded.
Two figures stood in mid-air.
Gu Wanlan was then surprised to find herself still being held in the girl's arms.
Even with her composure under the watchful eyes of everyone, she remained State of Mind.
Her usually cool and aloof face was now flushed red.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."
Gu Wanlan struggled to land, and just as she was about to tidy herself up, she sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around her.
I subconsciously looked up.
You Wujiang knelt on the ground, his hands pressed against a person's chest, his fingers filled with crimson blood.
That is...
Gu Wanlan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Lying in a pool of blood was none other than Zhao Zhongliu, the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
The old man's face was ashen, his chest was sunken in a large area, and he was barely breathing; he had clearly suffered a severe injury.
"Old Zhao..."
Gu Wanlan's lips trembled. Without thinking twice, she rushed forward.
"What happened?!"
You Wujiang raised his head. The young man, who usually wore a gentle smile, now had red eyes and a face full of resentment and frustration.
"Senior sister..."
Jiang Yuechu landed slowly, her black cloak draped over her shoulders. Her gaze swept lightly over the old man on the ground, and she asked softly, "What happened?"
The emperor was about to speak.
A soft exclamation came from above the crimson clouds.
"The eighteen-year-old Lamp-Lighting... it's really true..."
"Hello."
"So you are the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Yuechu glanced sideways at him, her face expressionless, and asked, "Did you do this?"
Seeing that the other person dared to speak in that tone, the child's face darkened slightly, then he laughed again, "You've got personality... But I'm asking you a question, isn't your attitude a bit...?"
The girl slowly turned around, and flames suddenly blazed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Wang Xuance's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward, saying, "Your Highness... I am Wang Xuance, and I was also a native of Chang'an in my younger days. Today, I am following the Little Daoist down the mountain, which is a predestined encounter..."
"What happened just now was nothing but a misunderstanding."
"Lord Zhao is ignorant of the rules and has offended the celestial carriage. The Little Daoist has given him a slight punishment so that he will remember his lesson."
At this point, Wang Xuance paused, his tone becoming earnest and earnest.
"Your Highness possesses unparalleled talent, but you are still young and impetuous, unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth, and that Five Immortals Mountain is..."
Did I ask you?
A cold voice abruptly interrupted his rambling.
Wang Xuance's smile froze.
Jiang Yuechu seemed completely disregarding the supposed predestined affinity with immortality the other party spoke of, her expression indifferent. "I'm asking him... and what are you anyway?"
Upon hearing this statement...
Wang Xuance's old face instantly turned a deep liver color.
Although he was only a Registered Disciple at Five Immortals Mountain, in the mortal world, who would dare not call him Immortal Master?
When have I ever been publicly insulted like this?
"You..."
Wang Xuance pointed at Jiang Yuechu: "You rude brat! I was trying to reason with you..."
Hahahaha!
The child slapped his thigh and laughed so hard he almost fell over.
"Interesting! It's really interesting!"
He rose from the clouds and stepped into the air, descending into the void.
"I did it. That old dog barked and disturbed my mood, so I just swatted it to death. What can you do about it?"
"How?"
The child tilted his head, his eyes full of mockery.
"You have to stand up for that old dog..."
Before he could finish speaking...
A burst of golden and blue flames suddenly erupted deep within the girl's pupils.
boom--
The next moment.
The girl vanished into thin air.
Only a ring of blasting air remained in place, instantly displacing the surrounding air.
The child's smile froze abruptly, and he instinctively tried to back away.
But a hand was already pressing down on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the girl's body twisted suddenly in mid-air, a huge dragon roared on her back, and Four Fiends demonic shadows flashed behind her before she was slammed hard to the ground.
Thump--!!!
The earth trembled.
Smoke and dust rose, and gravel flew through the air.
Only when the smoke cleared did everyone see clearly... the once arrogant Little Daoist of Five Immortals Mountain was shoved headfirst into the ground.
Wang Xuance stood frozen in place, a look of astonishment flashing across his face, which then turned into terror.
"You..."
"You..."
"How dare you..."
Jiang Yuechu ignored her and slowly released her hand.
It left with the palm.
The child staggered to his feet, his once delicate and beautiful face now a bloody mess, devoid of any semblance of his ethereal grace.
The brocade robe was torn and stained with mud and blood.
He raised his head, his face contorted with rage. "You... do you even know who I am?!"
"I am..."
call--
A strong wind suddenly arose.
Before he could say anything more...
A long, strong hand gripped the back of his neck once more.
Jiang Yuechu remained indifferent as she exerted force in her arm.
boom--!!!
The earth trembled once more.
The already sunken pit collapsed several feet further.
"Who are you?"
"Ah--!!!"
A roar came from the bottom of the pit... The child braced himself with his hands on the ground, desperately trying to lift his head.
His face was covered in blood, his features almost distorted. "I am the Fifth Immortal..."
boom--!!!
Another loud bang.
The head that had just been raised was once again mercilessly slammed back to the ground.
This time.
The ground within several feet around it cracked open.
"Five Immortals what?"
Jiang Yuechu remained expressionless and reached out to grab the other person again.
The child was dazed from the impact, blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, and his eyes were unfocused.
" Five Immortals Mountain..."
boom--!!!
"What mountain?"
"Five... five..."
boom--!!!
"Which mountain?"
"Immortal..."
boom--!!!
"Speak louder, I can't hear you."
Before the Imperial City.
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Xuance finally came to his senses.
Looking at the child who was almost unrecognizable as human, I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
That's insane.
This little girl is absolutely insane!
"Stop! Stop right now!! Are you trying to kill the Great Tang?!"
Jiang Yuechu paused slightly.
Holding the child who was already limp as mud in his hands, he slowly turned his head, his eyes flickering with gold and blue flames.
Seeing the girl's gaze sweep over him, Wang Xuance trembled and subconsciously took a few steps back. "I am Registered Disciple the Five Immortals Mountain, having long since severed all worldly ties and am protected by the immortal mountain! If you harm me, you will be making an enemy of True Person, and you will be making an enemy of the Five Immortals Mountain..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Jiang Yuechu raised her palm, and emerald green flames roared out, instantly enveloping Wang Xuance.
"Ah--!!!"
Wang Xuance curled up on the ground, scratching his face wildly with his hands.
Despite the blazing Azure Flame engulfing his body, not a single hem of his robes was charred, and his exposed skin showed no signs of burns.
The pain was clearly excruciating, reaching to the bone marrow!!!
