The moment those words were spoken.
You Wujiang instinctively took half a step back.
For some reason.
Though Her Highness was breathtakingly beautiful and had not released the slightest hint of killing intent as she stood before him.
He still felt that she was somewhat dangerous.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Wanlan answered in a grave voice, "The Western Regions Demon Court was dealt a devastating blow by the late emperor, and its vitality was greatly damaged. Yet its foundations must not be underestimated."
"According to the records within the office, aside from the Demon Emperor, there are four Burning Lamp Demon Sages..."
"Four?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu raised her brows in surprise.
She had thought that, counting the Demon Emperor, having two or three would already be good enough... Yet there were five.
Suppressing the heat in her heart, she asked softly, "Tell me in detail."
"The situation within the Western Regions Demon Court is complicated. Nominally, the Demon Court reveres the Demon Emperor as its ruler, commanding the myriad demons of the Western Regions. But in truth, that Demon Emperor had only barely stepped through the threshold of the Burning Lamp Realm. In terms of combat ability, he ranks at the bottom among the Burning Lamp Realm."
"Someone that weak can still sit firmly on the imperial throne?"
Jiang Yuechu was somewhat surprised.
Demons had always believed in the law of the jungle, where the strong were revered.
A Burning Lamp Realm cultivator lacking in strength—what gave him the right to make the four great sages beneath him bow their heads in submission?
Gu Wanlan's voice was cool. "It is said that the Demon Emperor is a registered disciple of some True Person from an Immortal Sect."
Jiang Yuechu's gaze narrowed slightly.
An Immortal Sect?
