Demon Sage

In truth...

As early as New Year's Eve, as she watched the fireworks fill the sky...

She had begun thinking of leaving the capital.

For no other reason.

She was too poor.

The fireworks that night had been beautiful, but they could not burn away the embarrassment of her empty purse.

Less than a thousand years of Dao Cultivation.

In the past, that little nest egg might at least have made a splash.

But now she had reached the Lotus-Seeding Realm.

Want to deduce cultivation techniques? Not enough.

Want to pour cultivation into Demons? Not enough.

Staying in Chang'an was certainly comfortable.

But days like these...

For someone like her, who possessed a panel and desperately needed slaughter to fill her deficit...

Were nothing short of torture.

As luck would have it, she had gone wandering around the Head Office that day.

And happened to run into You Wujiang coming out, his face clouded with worry.

You Wujiang might have been gifted, but when it came to guile...

He was honest to an almost adorable degree.

She had only probed indirectly with a couple of remarks.

And the foolish lad had flushed with agitation and spilled everything.

West Jiangnan Circuit.

A Demon Sage had broken its seal, and Demon Kings were gathering.

When she heard those words...

Jiang Yuechu's eyes lit up.

How was that a dangerous place?

It was plainly Dao Cultivation scattered all over the ground.

As for danger?

Hah.

In the past, she might have weighed the risks.

But now...

She possessed the Golden-Winged Roc Clan's [Cloud Journey].

If she really encountered danger, surely she could outrun it?

At that thought...

Jiang Yuechu gathered herself.

She stepped forward, passing the apprehensive You Wujiang.

And faced Lü Qinghou directly.

"Precisely because I am the Great Tang's eldest princess."
