As the figure revealed itself to everyone, tens of thousands of soldiers and the citizens throughout the city stood frozen in place, gazing up at the sky, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Could such a Divine Being… be here to save the Great Tang?
If not… why would she attack the Immortal Masters of Five Immortals Mountain?
But if she was… what relationship did this person have with the Great Tang?!
Amidst the crowd, the Emperor's eyes widened, finding the figure somewhat familiar…
Those brows, those eyes, that figure, and even the cold indifference about her—why did she look so much like Lonely Moon?!
"This… how is this possible?"
Yes! His sister had talent! She had stepped into the Burning Lamp realm at eighteen, which, looking back through history, was enough to call her the number one Genius…
But no matter how strong his sister was, she shouldn't be able to punch an Immortal Master away, right?!
The Li Clan Ancestor trembled all over.
Compared to the crowd watching the bizarre spectacle for excitement, as the Li Clan High Ancestor, he could naturally see the underlying mechanics.
This appearance… this aura… this was the Primordial Spirit that only a Tower-Ascending Martial Immortal could condense!
"Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body, wandering the Void Realm…"
The Old Ancestor's throat bobbed, and his voice was hoarse: "This girl… this girl has actually achieved Ascending the Tower?!"
A Tower-Ascending Martial Immortal!
In the eight hundred years since the founding of the Great Tang, apart from the High Ancestor back in the day, when had another true Martial Immortal ever appeared?
And now… at this moment of national subjugation and extinction, one had actually emerged!
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and suspicion, above the firmament, Venerable Yellow Centipede stared ahead, yellow mist churning around his body.
"Who are you?"
Venerable Yellow Centipede took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "We are Immortal Masters from Five Immortals Mountain. If Your Excellency retreats now, our Five Immortals Mountain is willing to owe Your Excellency a favor."
Though the words carried a threat, they also revealed a hint of weakness.
After all, a living Tower-Ascending Martial Immortal—who knew what Dao Lineage stood behind her? Compared to the twenty-five orthodox Daos, their small Five Immortals group dared not provoke her lightly.
However, Jiang Yuechu merely turned her head coldly, sweeping a faint glance over the four of them.
Sensing the aura on the opponent, she thought: Hmm… not easy to kill.
But that was all—just not easy to kill.
Jiang Yuechu ignored their attempt to win her over, slightly lowering her eyes to look at Chang'an City below. A nameless fire rose in her heart.
She had only gone on a long journey, and it had only been a few days, yet her home was about to be stolen. If she had returned even a step later, Chang'an City would likely have been razed by these old Beasts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechu said no more. Since they were enemies, there was nothing to discuss.
The next instant, BOOM!
The light and shadow that had been hovering in place suddenly vanished.
Venerable Yellow Centipede's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
The golden and blue figure was like a blazing sun, smashing a fist straight toward his face!
"How dare you?!"
Venerable Yellow Centipede shrieked, and the yellow mist around his body exploded instantly. A giant centipede phantom manifested from the mist, its thousand legs moving in unison like a forest of steel blades, twisting toward the figure to shred it.
BANG!
The phantom shattered instantly. The momentum of the punch remained undiminished, slamming fiercely into Venerable Yellow Centipede's chest.
Venerable Yellow Centipede was sent flying backward instantly, leaving a white trail in the air.
Having forced back the strongest opponent with one punch, Jiang Yuechu did not stop. She stood in the Void Realm, her thoughts shifting slightly.
Rumble—the sea of clouds boiled instantly. Rolling mist condensed into a giant hand, sweeping out.
Venerable Red Toad, Venerable Black Spider, and Venerable White Wall didn't even have a chance to react. They only felt the world go dark as the terrifying giant hand descended upon them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and their figures lost control instantly, flying and falling in different directions below in a sorry state.
In the blink of an eye, the five Dharma bodies that had been so arrogant and oppressive that they made the entire Chang'an breathless were now completely cleared away by this one person!
It took a long time before someone below recovered.
"Won… we won?" A whisper broke the deathly silence.
Immediately after, "We won! That is our Great Tang's Martial Immortal! We are saved!"
Cheers erupted like a tsunami, instantly drowning the entire Chang'an City.
Although they couldn't see the face within the light and shadow, and although they didn't know the name of this Divine Being who had descended from the sky, the scene just now—if she were not of the Great Tang, how could she have struck like that?!
High above, Jiang Yuechu looked indifferent, ignoring the clamor below. She looked at the five landing spots, her heart vigilant.
In the Deng Lou Realm, the Physical Body is merely a boat for crossing the sea. If the boat is destroyed, the person does not die. For some Martial Immortals who specialize in the Primordial Spirit, the Physical Body is even a burden. Destroying their Physical Bodies only forced them to abandon the boat and step onto the shore. The real battle had just begun.
Sure enough, the next moment, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Five phantoms soared into the sky. All were Primordial Spirits Leaving the Body!
Venerable Yellow Centipede stood in the center, recalling the miserable state of his Physical Body, a flash of pain in his eyes.
"Good… good technique!"
"Destroying my Physical Body and ruining my Dao foundation."
"I have cultivated for I don't know how many years, and this is the first time I've been forced into such a state."
The other four Immortal Masters also had extremely ugly expressions. Although they had already reached Ascending the Tower, this Physical Body had accompanied them since birth. Now that it was destroyed in one fell swoop, even if they were to use Possession to be Reborn or reshape a Physical Body in the future, it would be difficult to return to the original feeling.
Such Karma, such hatred. If they didn't kill this wretch, the hatred in their hearts would never fade!
Venerable Green Snake's Primordial Spirit flickered, and she said coldly: "Who exactly is this person… her Primordial Spirit is so overbearing…"
Even though they had stepped into Ascending the Tower and neglected the tempering of their Physical Bodies… three moves. Just three moves to destroy the Physical Bodies of all five of them. This combat power far exceeded their imagination!
Hearing this, no one spoke. Only Venerable Red Toad narrowed his eyes, sizing up the figure. The more he looked, the more familiar she felt.
Suddenly, a piece of memory surged into his mind.
"It's her!" Venerable Red Toad shouted sharply: "It's that girl! It's the Grand Princess of Great Tang!"
What?! The other four were all stunned. The Grand Princess of Great Tang? But rumor had it she was only eighteen?!
"How is this possible?!" Venerable Black Spider screamed: "How can a yellow-haired girl enter Ascending the Tower?!"
An eighteen-year-old Tower-Ascending Martial Immortal? Are you kidding me! Even if she started Cultivating from her mother's womb, it wouldn't be this fast!
Unless…
Venerable Yellow Centipede turned his head abruptly and looked at Red Toad: "Are you sure?"
Venerable Red Toad gritted his teeth: "It's highly likely…"
Everyone looked at each other. A flash of realization crossed their eyes, followed by ecstasy. In this world, where could there be such an unreasonable Genius? The only explanation was…
"The High Ancestor's Reincarnation!"
Venerable Yellow Centipede took a deep breath, the greed in his eyes surging: "It must be the Reincarnation of that Li Tianyuan! Besides him, who could have such heritage? Who could have such good fortune?!"
"We searched high and low, and it was right here all along."
"I thought we would have to search the entire Chang'an City, but I didn't expect the main target to deliver herself to our doorstep!"
Since her identity was confirmed, there was nothing to worry about. Although she was strong, there was only one of her. And they… were five!
Moreover, Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body, while losing the protection of the Physical Body, also lost the constraints of the Physical Body. At this moment, they were at their strongest!
"Fellow Daoists." Venerable Yellow Centipede gave a sinister laugh, yellow mist churning around his body, blotting out the sky. His Primordial Spirit slowly transformed into the shape of a centipede.
"Since the main target has appeared, there is no need to hold back."
"Today."
"With the combined power of our Five Immortals, we will execute this wretch!"
"Seize her fortune and divide the Dao Fruit!"
BOOM!
The auras of the five Primordial Spirits surged, connecting into one. Green Snake flickered its tongue, Red Toad croaked, Black Spider wove a web, and White Wall spanned the sky. The Five Immortals moved in unison, murderous intent filling the wilderness.
"Kill!!!"
