That night, the heavy snow was dazzling.

On the cliffs of Jiang'an Mountain, there are dragon head carvings. On the mountainside, there is a dilapidated ancestral hall that once occupied a vast area. Now, only ruins remain. Inside, there are many dusty plaques. Lu Chang'an sat in one of the caves, quietly watching the heavy snow falling in the capital. It was a beautiful scene, a truly unique snowy night.

Having lived in this world for sixteen years, this was the first time Lu Chang'an had seen scenery outside of the capital.

He thought that after becoming a puppet emperor, he would never see the scenery outside the capital again in his entire life.

Now, thanks to this female devil, they have successfully escaped from the capital.

"This is the Dry Dragon Cliff. The coffins of past emperors are placed here, but they are now abandoned. Did the emperors of eight hundred years ago ever think that their burial place would be forgotten?"

Lu Chang'an ignored what others were saying and began to sigh to himself.

Gu Wushuang sat in meditation for a while, then opened her eyes and stared at me, seemingly trying to replenish the true energy she had just lost.

"Tell me, how did you know my real name?"

Lu Chang'an scratched his palm and changed the subject, saying, "That Golden Sun Dharma King is not only a pillar of the Great Yuan Dynasty, but also a powerful being at the Nascent Soul Realm. He will be catching up soon. Isn't it a bit premature to talk about this now?"

Gu Wushuang said calmly, "There are too many constraints in the capital. If a fight really breaks out, I might not be afraid of that bald monk."

"Really?" Lu Chang'an asked, half believing and half doubting.

Judging from the speed at which Gu Wushuang ran away, she didn't seem to have the strength to fight.

Gu Wushuang glared at him: "Why should I prove anything to you?"

Indeed, that is the case.

At this critical moment in her breakthrough of inner demons, if she were to fight to the death with the Golden Sun Dharma King, burning her essence and blood and damaging her foundation, she would probably never be able to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm in this lifetime.

A being with a primordial spirit can destroy a nation.

This is her reason for pursuing Taoism, and also her goal.

If she cannot become a primordial spirit, what is the point of her living in this world?

If it were the old her, she would have definitely shown King Jinyang how formidable Gu Wushuang was.

An ordinary tenth-level supernatural power might not be a match for a primordial spirit, but she is Gu Wushuang.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an gave a sheepish smile: "I believe you, I believe you."

"Don't change the subject, you haven't answered my question yet," Gu Wushuang said coldly.

Lu Chang'an took a deep breath and said, "After I finish speaking, will Miss Wushuang kill me?"

"Let's see what you say."

Gu Wushuang held her sword still, as if Lu Chang'an would be struck by it at any moment if he didn't answer well.

Lu Chang'an said seriously, "What if I not only knew your name was Gu Wushuang, but also knew that your purpose in coming here was to assassinate the Empress Dowager?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wushuang's clear eyes flickered slightly, and she drew her sword, Zhuxue, abruptly.

Lu Chang'an immediately made amends, saying, "If I die here, wouldn't that be falling right into that wicked empress's trap? Think about it, why did she deliberately make me take you to Shouning Palace?"

"Because of this throne, there are countless people in the world who want to kill me, but compared to the troubles caused by that wicked empress, they are nothing. Now, the person who wants me dead the most is actually the Empress Dowager."

Gu Wushuang frowned.

Lu Chang'an explained, "Miss, you've been staying on the mountain all year round, so you may not know this. There are rumors among the people that Empress Dowager Murong was just a lowly palace maid in her early years. She was favored by the late Emperor Suwu because of her beauty, but because of her lowly birth, she could not become a concubine. So she eliminated her rivals and rose to the position of Empress. Later, she took advantage of the late Emperor's serious illness to win over the court officials. There are rumors that she also had an improper relationship with a member of the royal family, which is a disgrace to the royal family."

"That's why if the girl kills me, she will establish another royal family, or her own son."

"Even if you don't kill me, other assassins will come to kill me, and the end result will be the same. So when I saw you, I knew you were here to assassinate the Empress Dowager."

After speaking these words, Lu Chang'an's mouth was dry.

Although most of them are rumors and none have been clearly confirmed.

For example, there has never been accurate information regarding whether Empress Dowager Murong had any children.

But right now, to save my life, I can't worry about that anymore.

What's the point of reasoning with a female demon?

The only way to persuade them is by appealing to their own interests.

Since she wanted to kill the Demon Queen, she should make it clear that she and the Demon Queen were mortal enemies.

After listening to Lu Chang'an's sophistry, Gu Wushuang pondered for a long time before finally sheathing her sword.

"As for your real name..."

Lu Chang'an was still thinking about how to fabricate the origin of his name.

The revolving lantern only showed the first half of Gu Wushuang's life, but her cultivation experience in the second half was not mentioned at all.

Since the fairy woman on the mountain took Princess Jiarou as her disciple in the revolving lantern, and said that she was not from the righteous sect, it means that she must belong to the demonic sect.

Are there any female leaders among the major demonic sects?

It seems there really is one.

Mount Rakshasa, the Demon Ancestor.

A hundred years ago, the Rakshasa witch controlled a country with her religion, and her name was known throughout the world.

Could this Gu Wushuang also be from Mount Rakshasa Demon Ancestor?

Lu Chang'an looked at Gu Wushuang and said seriously, "Your cultivation method doesn't seem to belong to righteous cultivators. It should belong to the demonic sect, right? Could you be that one from Mount Rakshasa Demon Ancestor?"

Gu Wushuang's eyes flickered, and the surrounding air suddenly felt several degrees colder than the temperature outside where it was snowing.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had guessed correctly.

"Don't look at me like that. I won't expose your identity or whereabouts. You don't need to care how I investigated these details, because we're in the same boat now, so there's no point in digging into it."

Gu Wushuang remained silent for two seconds before uttering a fact that she had to admit.

"You are very smart."

He then added, "But there's one mistake: we're not in the same boat. You are you, and I am me."

Lu Chang'an secretly rolled his eyes, but smiled and said:

"Yes, yes, yes."

Suddenly, Gu Wushuang's expression changed.

Looking towards the sky not far to the north, a streak of golden light appeared.

"They're here."

Lu Chang'an also looked up, feeling utterly shocked.

What a huge golden Buddha head!

Golden clouds covered the entire sky, and the enormous Buddha head, with its eyes gushing out golden light, obscured the withered dragon cliff above.

Is this the power of the Primordial Spirit Realm?

"Why hide, benefactor? Honestly hand over the throne to our Emperor, and then face death in peace. Wouldn't that be better?" The Golden Sun Dharma King smiled, looking like a kind and harmless abbot.

The murderous intent in his words was imperceptible.

"Miss Wushuang..."

Lu Chang'an's tone was slightly worried.

"It's alright."

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Gu Wushuang took a deep breath, drew a circle on the ground, and gave the instructions:

"Take one step out, and you'll die without a burial place."

Then it transformed into a streak of purple rainbow and vanished into the sky.

Lu Chang'an stood on the snow-covered plain of Kulong Cliff, facing the sky filled with Buddhist light, watching the female demon's back, and bit his lip hard.

Although this Golden Sun Dharma King came to save him.

But deep down, he actually wanted this female demon to win.
