Golden light broke through the clouds.
The previously suffocating atmosphere, with the arrival of this golden rainbow, unexpectedly dissipated by more than half.
Inside Chang'an City.
Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards and the civil and military officials of the imperial court all raised their heads to look at the sky.
When they saw the Figure in Black clearly, some let out a long sigh of relief, some had red-rimmed eyes, and others clenched their fists, infinite hope surging in their hearts.
She is back.
The Grand Princess of Great Tang, the Divine Being who single-handedly quelled two demon catastrophes, is back!
The golden light faded away.
Two figures stood in mid-air.
Gu Wanlan only then realized with a start that she was still being held in the girl's arms.
Under the gaze of the crowd, even with her steady state of mind.
At this moment, her cold, aloof face flushed bright red.
"Your... Your Highness..."
Gu Wanlan struggled to land, and just as she was about to tidy her appearance, she felt that the surrounding atmosphere was somewhat wrong.
She instinctively looked up.
You Wujiang knelt on one knee, his hands pressing against someone's chest, his fingers stained with scarlet blood.
That is...
Gu Wanlan's pupils constricted violently.
Lying in a pool of blood was none other than the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, Zhao Zhongliu.
The old man's face was ashen, a large part of his chest was caved in, and his breathing was as thin as a thread; he had clearly suffered heavy injuries.
"Old Zhao..."
Gu Wanlan's lips trembled; unable to care about anything else, she rushed forward in a few steps.
"What happened?!"
You Wujiang looked up. The young man, who usually wore a gentle smile, now had red-rimmed eyes, his face full of resentment and frustration.
"Senior Sister..."
Jiang Yuechu slowly landed, her black cloak draping down. Her gaze swept indifferently over the old man on the ground, and she asked softly, "What happened?"
The Emperor was just about to speak.
Above the red clouds, a light sound of surprise came.
"An eighteen-year-old Burning Lamp... it's actually true..."
"Hey."
"Are you that Grand Princess of Great Tang?"
Hearing this.
Jiang Yuechu glanced to the side and asked expressionlessly, "Did you do this?"
The Child saw that the other party dared to use such a tone, his little face sank slightly, then he laughed again, "You have personality... However, I am asking you a question. Is your attitude a bit..."
The girl slowly turned around, flames suddenly igniting in her eyes.
Seeing this, Wang Xuance's heart inexplicably skipped a beat. He hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and said, "Your Highness... I am Wang Xuance. In my early years, I was also a resident of this Chang'an. Today, I descended the mountain with the Little Immortal Master; it was meant to be a celestial encounter..."
"The matter just now was merely a misunderstanding."
"Lord Zhao did not understand the rules and offended the celestial carriage. The Little Immortal Master applied a slight punishment, just to help him learn a lesson."
Speaking to this point, Wang Xuance paused, his tone becoming earnest.
"Your Highness has peerless talent, but after all, you are young and impulsive. You do not know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is. Five Immortals Mountain is..."
"Did I ask you?"
A cold, aloof voice abruptly interrupted his chatter.
The smile on Wang Xuance's face stiffened.
Jiang Yuechu seemed to completely disregard the celestial encounter the other party spoke of, her expression indifferent: "I am asking him... What kind of thing are you?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Wang Xuance's old face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
Although he was only a Named Disciple after entering Five Immortals Mountain, in the mortal world, who would dare not call him Immortal Master?
When had he ever been scolded like this, pointing at his nose in public?
"You..."
Wang Xuance pointed at Jiang Yuechu: "You rude brat! I offered good advice..."
"Hahahaha!"
The Child slapped his thigh, laughing until he was rocking back and forth.
"Interesting! Truly interesting!"
He stood up from the clouds and stepped down through the air.
"It was me. That old dog was barking wildly, disturbing my mood. I killed him with a casual strike, so what?"
"What?"
The Child tilted his head, his eyes full of mockery.
"Are you going to avenge that old dog..."
Before he could finish his words.
Golden and blue flames suddenly burst deep within the girl's pupils.
Boom—
The next moment.
The girl's figure vanished into thin air.
Only a ring of exploding air waves remained in place, instantly exhausting the surrounding air.
The smile on the Child's face froze abruptly, and he instinctively wanted to retreat.
But a palm had already clamped onto his face.
Following that, the girl's figure twisted suddenly in mid-air, the Great Dragon of her spine roaring, the shadows of the Four Fiends flashing behind her, as she smashed him fiercely toward the ground.
Thud—!!!
The earth trembled.
Dust and smoke rose everywhere, shattered stones flying through the air.
Until the dust cleared, the crowd finally saw clearly... the once arrogant Little Immortal Master of Five Immortals Mountain had been smashed head-first into the ground.
Wang Xuance froze on the spot, shock flashing across his face, then turning into terror.
"You..."
"You..."
"You actually dared to do this..."
Jiang Yuechu ignored him and slowly released her hand.
As the palm left.
The Child climbed up unsteadily. His originally porcelain-like little face was now a bloody mess, with no trace of the demeanor of an immortal.
His brocade robe was torn, stained with mud and blood.
He raised his head, his face full of monstrous rage: "You... Do you know who I am?!"
"I am..."
Whoosh—
A strong wind rose suddenly.
Before the subsequent words could be spoken.
A slender, powerful hand gripped his neck again.
Jiang Yuechu's expression was indifferent as she exerted force with her arm.
Boom—!!!
The earth trembled again.
The deep pit, which was already sunken, collapsed a few more feet downward.
"Who are you?"
"Ah—!!!"
A roar came from the bottom of the pit... The Child propped himself up with his hands, desperately trying to raise his head.
His face was covered in blood, his features almost displaced: "I am Five Immortals..."
Boom—!!!
Another loud noise.
The head that had just been raised was ruthlessly smashed into the ground again.
This time.
The ground for several zhang around it cracked open.
"Five Immortals what?"
Jiang Yuechu, expressionless, reached out and grabbed him again.
The Child was now somewhat dazed from being smashed, blood overflowing from his mouth and nose, his eyes unfocused.
"Five Immortals Mountain..."
Boom—!!!
"What mountain?"
"Five... Five..."
Boom—!!!
"Which mountain?"
"Immortals..."
Boom—!!!
"Speak louder, I can't hear you."
In front of the Imperial City.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Wang Xuance finally came to his senses.
Looking at the Child who was barely human-shaped anymore, he felt a chill shoot straight from the soles of his feet to his crown.
She's crazy.
This Little Girl is simply a madwoman!
"Stop! Quickly stop!! Do you want to doom the Great Tang?!"
Jiang Yuechu's movements paused slightly.
Holding the Child, who had long since gone limp like mud, she slowly turned her head, golden and blue flames dancing in her eyes.
Seeing the girl's gaze sweep over, Wang Xuance trembled all over and instinctively stepped back a few steps: "I am a Named Disciple of Five Immortals Mountain, I have long severed mortal ties and am protected by the Immortal Mountain! If you touch me, you are making an enemy of the Immortal Master, you are making an enemy of Five Immortals Mountain..."
Before he could finish.
Jiang Yuechu raised her palm, and emerald green flames roared out, instantly enveloping Wang Xuance.
"Ah—!!!"
Wang Xuance curled up on the ground, his hands scratching his face wildly.
Even though the blue-green flames were burning fiercely on him, not even a corner of his robe was scorched black, and the skin exposed outside showed not a single burn.
But it was clearly painful to the marrow!!!
