Hunyuan Demon Emperor gave a miserable laugh: "The result was just a joke."
"Three Ascending the Tower Demon Emperors of us aggressively charged in, thinking it would be an easy capture. Who would have thought..."
It took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress the trembling in its heart.
"In less than the blink of an eye, two Demon Emperors were just gone."
"If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and escaped using the life-saving Divine Ability passed down by the Wuxiang Lineage, I'm afraid I would have met my end there too."
Several Elders looked at each other, surprise flashing in their eyes.
Instantly killing two Ascending the Tower Demon Emperors?
That strength was indeed decent.
But that was all.
What Thousand Feathers Demon Emperor... Crimson Blood Demon Emperor... trash like that, they could also easily suppress.
What was there to be afraid of?
Enough to make this Hunyuan Beast this terrified?
Before they could figure it out.
They heard Hunyuan Demon Emperor add color to his story: "Immortal Masters, it's not that this small demon is praising others' morale and diminishing our own."
"That woman... she's truly terrifying. And that's not all; just a few days ago!"
Hunyuan Demon Emperor's eyes widened: "This Jinx killed her way to Spirit Mountain!"
"Jiuying, White Eye, and that Old Flood Dragon... three whole Great Demon Emperors! Not even counting the Azure Fox Demon Emperor, they were all slaughtered by her!"
It spoke with tears and snot, doing its utmost to depict the terror of that True Dragon.
The purpose was simple.
It wanted to scare this group of high-and-mighty Immortal Masters.
As long as they didn't dare to act rashly, it could safely hide in Wuxiang Mountain and linger on.
After hearing this, True Person Han Xian didn't show the slightest hint of fear.
Instead, he whispered to himself, the light in his eyes becoming increasingly fervent: "Decisive in killing, unparalleled Physical Body... good... very good!"
Hunyuan Demon Emperor was stunned.
Is this old thing crazy?
I've described that woman like King Yama himself, so why does he still have the expression of someone who's found a treasure?
"Immortal Master..."
Hunyuan Demon Emperor spoke cautiously.
True Person Han Xian flicked his sleeve abruptly, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the hall.
Compared to that half-dead Phoenix variant on the ground, a True Dragon was the real supreme fortuitous encounter.
Setting aside the fact that a True Dragon's flesh, blood, and bones were all treasures, if he could capture and refine it, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through the Ascending the Tower Perfection barrier that had troubled him for years, pointing directly to that lofty Chess Master Realm.
What made True Person Han Xian's heart race even more was something else.
The appearance of a True Dragon most likely meant it carried a damaged Dao Lineage Legacy.
What did seizing a Dao Lineage that hadn't fully grown yet represent?
If one intended, they could help Wuxiang Mountain leap to become the head of the Twenty-Five Lineages.
If one didn't, they could also establish their own mountain, open a Dao Lineage, and become the The Main Seat of a new Dao Lineage.
Otherwise.
Why would Cang Xuan go alone, keeping it from his fellow disciples, and travel thousands of miles to a backwater place like Great Tang to join the fray?
Only...
Compared to the rumors of the Great Tang Ancestor Founder's Reincarnation... no one knew if it was true or false.
A living True Dragon right before his eyes was undoubtedly a godsend opportunity.
Thinking of this.
True Person Han Xian walked up to Hunyuan Demon Emperor, leaned down, and said softly: "Hunyuan... you said you've seen the True Dragon's appearance with your own eyes?"
Hunyuan Demon Emperor swallowed hard and nodded, bracing himself.
"Then..."
True Person Han Xian reached out and gently patted Hunyuan Demon Emperor's dog head.
"Do you know the identity of that True Dragon?"
Hunyuan Demon Emperor said tremblingly: "I... I know."
"Who is it?"
"She... she is the current Grand Princess of Great Tang..."
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken.
In the hall, one could hear a pin drop.
The several Wuxiang Mountain Elders, who had just shown greed and were itching to move because of the words "True Dragon," now had extremely vivid expressions on their faces.
Everyone sheepishly withdrew their gazes, looking at their noses and hearts, not daring to look further.
Even their hurried breathing was forcefully held back.
True Person Han Xian's hand, which was stroking Hunyuan Demon Emperor's dog head, also froze in mid-air.
The fanatical expression receded like a tide, replaced by an unmistakable shock.
He stared at Hunyuan Demon Emperor, his voice dry: "Who did you just say... it was?"
Hunyuan Demon Emperor had a mournful look on his face.
Since he had already said it.
There was nothing left to hide.
He simply threw caution to the wind and shouted loudly: "It's the Grand Princess of Great Tang! Great Tang! Great Tang!!!"
True Person Han Xian was expressionless.
His palm suddenly pressed down.
Bang.
He slammed Hunyuan Demon Emperor's large dog head hard against the solid bluestone floor.
The stone slab shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out.
"Why are you shouting so loud..."
It made it seem as if that person was quite extraordinary...
True Person Han Xian coldly withdrew his hand, his eyes flickering.
Previously, he only knew that Great Tang had a Grand Princess who had killed over ten Immortal Masters... but who would have thought that the two were the same person.
"It's this person again... this person again..."
The White-bearded Elder below shook his head, his eyes full of wariness: "Senior Brother, this matter... I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"A mere mortal Dynasty, no matter how great its Luck, could never possibly nurture a heaven-and-earth variant like a True Dragon. This woman definitely didn't come from a mortal Dynasty..."
The Fat Elder also quickly agreed: "Yes, Senior Brother. Although our Wuxiang Mountain has deep foundations, if we rashly face such a person..."
The Fat Elder paused, his tone solemn.
"Junior Brother Cang Xuan's end is a lesson for us."
"I hope Senior Brother will think twice."
Several Elders stood up one after another and cupped their hands together.
"We hope Senior Brother will think twice!"
In the hall, voices of admonishment rose one after another.
True Person Han Xian's expression shifted, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.
A fortuitous encounter was right before him, but it was a hot potato.
Go to Great Tang to snatch the True Dragon?
But over ten Dao Lineage Immortal Masters had fallen there.
Although Han Xian was conceited, he hadn't lived long enough...
True Person Han Xian coldly scanned everyone and slowly spoke: "Cang Xuan's grudge must be avenged, otherwise where will the face of our Wuxiang Mountain be?"
"This..."
Anxiety flashed across everyone's faces.
Looking at it now.
How was this Han Xian doing it for Cang Xuan?
He clearly had his eyes on the True Dragon's fortuitous encounter!
He just had to take a gamble!
But before the crowd could persuade him again.
"However, I will naturally think twice."
True Person Han Xian changed the subject: "This person is indeed a bit strange... How about this, pass down the order: until we have uncovered the true background of that Grand Princess of Great Tang, no one is allowed to step out of Wuxiang Mountain."
"Those who violate this order will be treated as traitors to the sect!"
Hearing this, several Elders all breathed a long sigh of relief.
They responded in unison: "We obey the decree!"
As long as they didn't provoke that female Jinx for the time being, everything was fine.
Right now, the The Main Seat was in seclusion, and True Person Han Xian was temporarily handling the affairs of Wuxiang Mountain... if he had wanted to set out immediately, they might not have been able to stop him.
Just wait until the The Main Seat came out of seclusion.
Once the The Main Seat learned of this, he would definitely not allow Han Xian to act recklessly.
As for Cang Xuan's grudge?
Junior Brother Cang Xuan, rest in peace in the underworld. We will surely burn a few more paper-crafted Dao Companions for you during the holidays.
Hunyuan Demon Emperor lay on the ground, listening to these words with a sense of disdain in his heart.
He thought these Dao Lineage Immortal Masters had some backbone, but after all that fuss, hearing that woman's name, weren't they scared into sealing the mountain and acting like cowards?
He was just thinking.
When he heard True Person Han Xian's voice again.
"As for you..."
True Person Han Xian looked at Hunyuan Demon Emperor, a flash of disgust in his eyes.
"Since you offered this Phoenix variant, I will spare your dog life."
"Scram to the back mountain, guard the Marsh, and do not step out of the back mountain without my summons."
Hunyuan Demon Emperor felt as if he had been granted a grand amnesty and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"
This was fine.
Wuxiang Mountain was sealed, and hiding here, he finally had a stable place to stay.
Sigh~
Being a watchdog is good, one must be a watchdog.
Once I'm a watchdog, at least I won't have to live in fear anymore~
