Not Many People, Just Ten Thousand or So

Li Chengqian's expression gradually turned grave.

Bai Yulou and Zhao Zhongliu of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Zhou Xuan of the Cauldron Sect, and everyone else sat up straight and looked toward Jiang Yuechu.

Jiang Yuechu raised her eyes and swept her gaze across the room. After a moment's thought, she slowly began to speak.

"Actually... beyond Great Tang lies another world. There are the vast Nine Provinces, immortals, Buddhas, demons, and devils..."

As they listened to the young woman,

their expressions grew more and more remarkable.

Everything she described lay utterly beyond their understanding.

They had thought the Eastern Territory was vast enough. It was hard to imagine that such a world existed beyond Great Tang...

"Even ordinary people out there can live five hundred years?!"

Li Chengqian could not help clicking his tongue.

In Great Tang, an ordinary person who lived past seventy was already considered long-lived.

Five hundred years was simply staggering.

Jiang Yuechu explained calmly, "That's only the average lifespan. Some who live longer might even reach six or seven hundred..."

A little while later,

Zhao Zhongliu, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau, could not help asking, "Does the Heavenly Court truly exist?"

Compared with the younger people present, he was among the oldest and had naturally heard many folk tales of Immortal Gods.

He had always taken them for inventions of earlier generations.

But they were real?!

Jiang Yuechu smiled faintly. "It does, it does. I even serve in the Heavenly Court now."

"You serve in the Heavenly Court?!"

One sharp intake of breath after another
