The Demon's Residence; Imperial Edict of the Empress

Inside the palace, beneath the steps of the glazed Hall.

Ao Hanyi, dressed in a gorgeous blue dress with a graceful figure, bowed respectfully towards the elderly man on the throne.

"Grandfather, according to the information provided by the Great Jing's top expert, the Consecrator of Tianji Pavilion... During this time, you should have heard of this formidable individual."

The old man squinted his eyes, suppressing the excitement within him. "I have indeed heard of that expert... However, even if this information is false, it's better than having no information at all!"

"Exactly!"

Ao Hanyi responded with a smile.

"There's no time to lose, Hanyi!" The old man stood up from the throne, his eyes emitting a gleam. "We are setting out now to the Demon Realm!"

"Eh? Grandfather, are you going too?"

Ao Hanyi was momentarily surprised.
