"Since Chaos was first divided, Heaven opened at Zi, Earth was created at Chou, and Man was born at Yin. Heaven and Earth rejoined, and all things came into being."
"Among all things are Beasts and Birds."
"Among the beasts, the Qilin is the chief; among the birds, the Phoenix is the chief."
"The Phoenix then received the Qi of union, giving birth to the Peacock and the Great Peng."
Speaking of this, the old Daoist's voice deepened slightly: "The Great Peng is born into the Seed Lotus. When its wings spread, they blot out the sky and cover the sun."
"Furthermore, it possesses the Divine Ability of Traversing Ten Thousand Miles in the Clouds. Traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening is a trivial matter."
"This lineage no longer dwells among mortals, mostly hiding in the Spiritual Mountain Lands of the extreme west, or in the Primordial Yao Realm."
Wei He's face turned green upon hearing this: "Then... then this Demon King..."
"This Demon King is the direct Bloodline descendant of the Great Peng."
Upon hearing this.
You Wujiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
No wonder... no wonder the Treasure Armor on that beast is so overbearing.
So its background is this profound!
Wandering Dust Master shook his head and continued: "If this Daoist remembers correctly, the current Family Head of the Golden-Winged Great Peng has long been in secluded cultivation at the Half-Step Ascending the Tower stage for many years, and may even have already..."
Speaking of this, the old Daoist paused, not daring to continue.
Ascending the Tower.
What kind of Realm is that?
Everyone looked bewildered.
Wandering Dust Master did not explain, only shaking his head and sighing.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Wei He had no intention of pursuing the matter.
The immediate concern.
Is where Jiang Yuechu is!
As long as she is still alive.
Even if she only has one breath left.
At that time, as long as she is sent to Chang'an and hidden within the Deep Palace Walls.
Given her noble status as a Grand Princess, and such astonishing talent.
How could the entire power of the Great Tang fail to protect her!
Ignoring all etiquette regarding status, he quickly said: "Senior! You are a Half-Step Ran Deng, do you have a way to find her current location?"
Wandering Dust Master paused, shaking his head slightly.
"I do not know."
Old useless fellow!
Wei He cursed angrily in his heart, but ultimately dared not speak the words aloud.
You Wujiang took a deep breath: "Senior, General Wei, since Miss Jiang disappeared here, you two guard this place while I immediately set off to return to General Bureau for reinforcements."
After speaking.
Without waiting for Wei He's reply, he turned to leave.
Wandering Dust Master sighed softly and did not stop him.
In truth, he feared Jiang Yuechu's fate was grim.
How powerful is the Golden-Winged Great Peng lineage?
They are not only born into the Seed Lotus, possessing a powerful Physical Body, but their speed is unmatched under heaven.
Moreover, a direct Bloodline descendant of such noble status, leaving the clan alone to gain experience.
How could they not carry some kind of treasure artifact for protection?
Although that girl is a Heaven-endowed Talent, she is ultimately too young.
Even if she had some fortuitous encounters, how could she compete against the profound Legacy of a Great Demon whose lineage traces back to Antiquity?
If they truly fought to the death in some Desperate Place... Wandering Dust Master closed his eyes, a sense of sorrow rising in his heart.
If that girl truly perished here.
Even if the Great Tang was enraged and wanted revenge for her.
They would likely be willing, but powerless, in the short term.
The background of the Golden-Winged Great Peng is one of the foremost behemoths in the entire world.
To start a war with such an existence for a dead "Genius"... there would inevitably be a lot of wrangling in the Great Tang court.
Thinking of this.
Wandering Dust Master felt somewhat depressed, and an Unknown Anger surged within him.
I truly don't know what General Bureau and Your Majesty were thinking?
Did water get into their brains, turning them into fools?
Such a breathtaking Prodigy, and a member of the Royal Bloodline.
Even if the Great Tang is currently short on manpower and cannot spare masters for covert protection.
They shouldn't have let her run off to a dangerous Region like this, right?
The Region is remote, bordering the Western Regions Demon Court.
Besides this old man sitting here to hold the fort, there is no other reliance.
But he is only one person; how can he ensure her safety at all times?
If she were in a place like Chang'an.
Under the Son of Heaven's feet, Dragon Qi converges.
A mere Demon King of the Seed Lotus, even if it is the seed of the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
How would it dare to break into Chang'an and commit violence?
Wandering Dust Master sighed deeply, the Whisk in his hand drooping limply.
"Perhaps this is fate... something beyond human power."
Before the words fell.
Buzz—!!!
The Void Realm ahead suddenly rippled.
The Mirage-like White Mist that had vanished reappeared out of thin air, only to quickly dissipate again.
Everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the side simultaneously.
They saw that where the smoke and dust cleared.
A slender figure stood quietly.
The Red Cloak was already severely shredded, and the black robes on her body were also damaged in many places.
However... beside the girl, lay a massive, mountain-like Demon Corpse.
The Demon Corpse had died a terrible death, its Golden Feathers stained with blood, its wings broken, slumped across the ground.
Most horrifying was the Demon's head.
Its original features were unrecognizable, leaving only a mass of red and white flesh pulp.
If one only looked at this pile of rotten flesh, even Immortals would find it hard to discern its true form.
But... that set of Golden Chainmail, Radiating Thousands of Strands of Auspicious Qi.
As well as the Square-Tipped Halberd lying isolated nearby.
Indeed revealed the identity of this Demon.
It was none other than the arrogant Little Saint King, the Qiankun Demon King, who boasted of his noble Bloodline.
Jiang Yuechu panted slightly, calming the surging Qi and Blood within her body.
She raised her head, meeting eyes that were wide with shock.
Jiang Yuechu frowned slightly.
She hadn't expected so many people to be gathered outside.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, mouths agape, staring at the corpse beside her, unable to utter a sound for a long while.
She asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Just killed a Demon, haven't you seen that before?"
"..."
Wei He remained stunned for several seconds.
He had originally prepared for the worst, but the scene before him... immense surprise and lingering fear assaulted his mind.
At this moment, he was completely flustered.
In this situation, he even forgot Jiang Yuechu's previous instructions: "Your Highness... are you alright?!"
Jiang Yuechu glanced at Wei He helplessly.
But she didn't blame him.
Her identity had already been revealed to the world.
Even if it took time for news to spread throughout the various circuits of the Great Tang.
The people before her must have already heard about it.
She lightly brushed her sleeve and shook her head: "I'm fine, just a little bit of trouble."
Wandering Dust Master was slightly dazed, and the doubts in his heart did not dissipate; instead, they grew heavier.
This is truly strange.
This Demon is a direct descendant of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, possessing terrifying speed, and the Treasure Armor on its body is clearly extraordinary.
How could this girl, being only in the Seed Lotus, manage to catch the opponent?
This is definitely not something a Human Race cultivator of the same Realm could contend with.
Could it be... that this girl also possesses some unknown treasure artifact?
That's right!
It must be so!
The old Daoist stroked his beard and pondered, a look of realization appearing in his eyes.
After all, she is the revered Grand Princess of the Great Tang, and possesses such breathtaking talent. Given the profound foundation of the Great Tang Royal Family, how could they allow this girl to run around alone without any means of self-preservation?
The Tang Emperor must have secretly bestowed a treasure artifact upon her.
Thinking this way, everything made sense.
Wandering Dust Master let out a long breath, and his gaze towards Jiang Yuechu held a hint of envy.
What a grand gesture... It seems I misunderstood those above me.
Considering this.
A smile appeared on the old Daoist's face. Even though Jiang Yuechu showed no divine radiance, he simply took it as a sign of a Sacred Object Concealing Its Brilliance.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate."
Wandering Dust Master held his palm vertically with one hand and gave a slight Daoist Salute towards Jiang Yuechu.
"This poor Daoist, Wandering Dust Master, greets Your Highness the Grand Princess."
