Hearing the inquiry about Lingshan, Jiang Yuechu did not stop her pace.
"There's no need to worry about Lingshan anymore."
"Some worthless things escaped, but the leading Demon Emperors are all dead."
Her tone was indifferent.
Yet it caused White Jade Tower's expression to freeze.
Regarding Lingshan, as the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, he naturally knew its foundation.
It was rumored to have Seventy-two Caves of Demon Emperors, and the weakest among them were at the Half-Step Tower Ascender Realm.
Not to mention the leading Demon Emperors...
Just one Demon Emperor who came looking for the Great Tang a few days ago required even Immortal Master Thirteen Wu to risk his life... yet in her mouth, it was described so nonchalantly...
You Wujiang and Gu Wanlan looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
However.
Thinking of Jiang Yuechu's Golden Body, everyone felt relieved.
After all.
Even a Clone had the strength to slaughter such terrifying Demon Emperors.
Destroying a Lingshan.
Didn't seem that difficult...
But just as everyone was sighing with emotion, the young girl's voice rang out again.
"Furthermore."
Jiang Yuechu turned her head and looked at White Jade Tower.
"Wuxiang Mountain has also been leveled by me."
"Wuxiang... Mountain?"
White Jade Tower was slightly stunned.
You Wujiang and Gu Wanlan also looked at each other.
The Great Tang was situated in a remote corner.
They knew about Lingshan and that there were Dao Lineages outside.
But this Eastern Region was vast, with numerous Dao Lineages; the high-level officials of the Great Tang actually had little concept of specific names.
Seeing everyone's bewildered look.
Before Jiang Yuechu could speak.
Running Ox behind her could not wait to jump out.
This black ox finally caught an opportunity to show off.
Its massive head was held high, and it said quite proudly, "This Wuxiang Mountain is no ragtag bunch of nobodies; it is a legitimate one of the Twenty-Five Lineages."
"It has thousands of Disciples, and Immortal Masters of the Denglou Realm can be found in abundance."
"Most terrifyingly, within Wuxiang Mountain, there is also a The Main Seat powerhouse who has surpassed the Denglou Realm and stepped into the Chess Player Realm."
Chess Player Realm.
Once these two words were spoken.
The breathing of White Jade Tower and the others suddenly hitched.
For the Great Tang martial artists who had once looked up to the Denglou Realm for half their lives, Ascending the Tower was already a legend.
The Chess Player Realm was an existence they had never even heard of...
Seeing that he had intimidated everyone, Running Ox became even more Divine Qi.
"You didn't see the scene back then; when that old fellow of the Chess Player Realm came out of seclusion, even the sky was covered, his arrogance reaching the heavens."
"But guess what happened."
Running Ox deliberately paused and suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Our Your Highness didn't even frown."
"She just lightly raised her hand."
"Boom."
"What Chess Player Realm powerhouse, what foundation of the Twenty-Five Lineages—along with the peak of Wuxiang Mountain—were all blown away by Your Highness with just one punch."
Speaking with excitement, Running Ox couldn't help but praise himself.
"Of course... old Ox here isn't a pushover either."
"Your Highness was showing off her Divine Might in front, and old Ox followed behind Your Highness, also slaughtering wildly, one hoof for every Dao Immortal Master, making those Daoists cry for their parents."
Tiger Cuihua, who was shrinking his neck nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes upon hearing this.
Although he had fainted at the time... looking at the situation after waking up, where were the signs that this black fellow had ever made a move?
However, he naturally didn't dare to say this out loud and could only follow along, nodding and echoing with flattery.
On the long street, there was dead silence.
Everyone was dazed, frozen in place.
For a long time, the words Dao Lineage had been like a great mountain, pressing heavily on the hearts of everyone in the Great Tang.
It made the entire Demon Suppression Division, the Great Tang Imperial Family, and even their breathing become cautious.
But now...
When did the Great Tang ever have the confidence to challenge a Dao Lineage like this?
Jiang Yuechu quietly listened to this black ox talk nonsense.
She did not speak to explain.
Although there was a bit of exaggeration... having it come out of this fool's mouth saved her a lot of breath.
In any case, the result was exactly as stated.
She turned her head and glanced at the crowd, who were still stuck in shock and unable to extricate themselves.
"Although Wuxiang Mountain was leveled by me, I brought back most of its foundation and treasury."
"Later, I will call Zhou Xuan to take inventory and register everything; after it's properly organized, it will be handed over to Imperial Brother for decision and distribution."
"The Great Tang's foundation is thin, and your cultivation is ultimately lacking a bit of heat."
"With these resources, the entire Demon Suppression Division and those with potential must speed up their Realm breaking for me."
White Jade Tower took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.
He exchanged looks with You Wujiang and Gu Wanlan.
They could no longer maintain their composure.
The three of them knelt on one knee together, cupping their fists, their voices thick and steady: "We shall not fail Your Highness's high expectations!"
...
Great Tang Imperial Palace.
The Great Tang Emperor was currently pacing back and forth outside the hall without any decorum.
From time to time, he would stand on his tiptoes and look towards the palace gates.
When that familiar black-clothed figure appeared in his line of sight.
This Ninety-Five Sovereign didn't even care to lift the hem of his Dragon Robe and ran to meet her.
"Lonely Moon!"
The Imperial Brother rushed to Jiang Yuechu in a few steps and circled around her three times.
His eyes were full of urgency and worry as he looked her up and down carefully.
"Are you hurt? Did you suffer any grievances outside? If you were wronged, tell Imperial Brother, and I will immediately order the troops to be assembled..."
Jiang Yuechu was expressionless.
She extended a fair finger and pressed it against the Imperial Brother's forehead, which was leaning too close.
She pushed him back half a step.
"Imperial Brother, I am fine."
The Imperial Brother was still uneasy, and his gaze finally crossed Jiang Yuechu and landed on the two demons behind her.
He had seen the black ox before.
But that striped tiger...
When Tiger Cuihua was stared at by the Great Tang Emperor, his tiger fur exploded in fear.
Although the other party's Realm was low, the way he was dressed... and he kept referring to himself as Zhen.
This tiger demon, who was well-versed in Human Race books, instantly deduced the other party's identity.
Immediately, his legs trembled, and he fell to his knees with a thud, imitating the etiquette in the books and shouting loudly: "Small demon Tiger Cuihua kowtows to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long long live!"
"A guide I picked up along the way," Jiang Yuechu explained casually.
Only then did the Imperial Brother withdraw his gaze, pulling Jiang Yuechu into the hall.
"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine. I have already ordered the servants to prepare your favorite dishes. Come quickly."
Inside the hall.
The long table was filled with various delicacies.
The Imperial Brother didn't use his chopsticks himself but was only busy putting food into Jiang Yuechu's bowl.
Before long, the food in the bowl piled up into a small mountain.
Jiang Yuechu lowered her head to eat, her movements not fast, but she ate very seriously.
During the meal.
The Imperial Brother put down his chopsticks, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
"Lonely Moon, while you were away from Chang'an, a dangerous thing happened."
Jiang Yuechu raised her head, waiting for the rest.
"Some time ago, a Demon Emperor suddenly descended above Chang'an."
"That monster was incredibly arrogant and completely disregarded the Great Tang..."
Speaking to this point, the Imperial Brother couldn't help but cold snort.
"At that time, the Great Tang's foundation came out in full force, and even Immortal Master Thirteen Wu was ready to risk his life."
"And guess what happened?"
The Imperial Brother slapped his thigh excitedly, his face beaming.
"That Golden Body you left in Chang'an suddenly appeared and chased that Beast, giving it a brutal beating until it even cried out for its mother..."
