Chapter 936

"I have no better choice—you'll understand after watching!"

On the video, Su Yang negotiated with Zao Tian, demanding that Zao Tian organize this gathering.

If arranged well, Su Yang guaranteed that after Sovereign Jiazi left the island nation, she would not retaliate against the major families.

This video could also serve as proof of the deal, left in Zao Tian's hands.

"No wonder you were so determined today, pulling off such a massive spectacle!"

One General understood fully after watching the video.

The island nation has a tiny population—tens of thousands gathered today.

Without help from the island nation's major factions, Su Yang alone could never have pulled this off.

"Don't blame me—if you were in my position, you'd choose to talk things over with Su Yang too!" Zao Tian said slowly. "Right now, bowing down and preserving ourselves is the wisest choice."

"A woman as nearly perfect as Sovereign Jiazi is hard for young men to resist—Su Yang doesn't just want to possess her body, he wants to win her heart and sever all her ties to the island nation!" Zao Tian murmured, gazing at the endless crowd below. "This operation? Su Yang aims to destroy Sovereign Jiazi's heart."

"Su Yang promised me he won't let Sovereign Jiazi retaliate—if our island nation surrenders and pays the proper price, he'll keep his word and let us leave."

One General asked worriedly: "Will Su Yang keep his promise?"

"This video was made for that reason—Su Yang instructed me to record it. He said if he breaks his word, we can expose this secret deal to Sovereign Jiazi… At least I saw his sincerity!" Zao Tian put away the video. "Su Yang wants to win over Sovereign Jiazi—a living Sovereign Jiazi is worth ten thousand times more than a dead one."

"Su Yang… is too ruthless!"

One island nation General cried out in anguish.

Sovereign Jiazi was the island nation's universally favored prodigy!

Yet not only did we fail to keep her—we're now forced to hand her over!

It truly is a tragedy!

"Criminal Jiazi, get out of the island nation!"

"Criminal Jiazi, get out of the island nation!"

"…"

Outside the imperial palace, the crowd surged like a tidal wave.

Sovereign Jiazi soon heard these shouts.

She stepped out of her quarters, stood on the steps, and gazed beyond the palace, murmuring: "What's going on?"

The palace's Beast Tamer guards, with perfect coordination, stepped aside and allowed the civilians to storm in unimpeded.

The island nation's imperial palace isn't large—tens of thousands flooded in through the main gates together.

They quickly appeared in Sovereign Jiazi's line of sight.

Among them weren't just young men and Beast Tamers—the front rows were filled with women, children, and the elderly.

"Criminal Jiazi, get out of the island nation!"

"…"

They chanted furious slogans, determined to expel Sovereign Jiazi from the island nation to save their own lives.

These civilians were usually like ants.

But humans are always herd-minded—when numbers reach a certain scale.

Even as ants, they still had the courage to challenge elephants in protest!

Back then, ordinary Shoushen Sect followers had the nerve to storm the military headquarters—how much more so for "irredeemable" Sovereign Jiazi?

When these civilians saw Sovereign Jiazi, the women and children in the front rows, overcome with fear, halted their steps.

Even their chants of "Get out!" grew weaker.

But soon, the thunderous chants from behind surged forward, giving the front-line protesters renewed courage.

They seemed less afraid of Sovereign Jiazi now!

After all, they were numerous, they were emboldened, they were fighting for justice!

At this moment, Sovereign Jiazi's mind buzzed.

Being falsely accused and rejected by civilians—hearing about it was nothing like seeing it firsthand!

The raw impact of this scene left Sovereign Jiazi unable to remain composed!

She hadn't expected that not only the major families had betrayed her, but even the island nation's civilians would unite to drive her out!

Just a few years ago, tens of thousands had gathered outside the palace supporting and adoring her!

Her heart was pierced through at once!

She fled in panic into the palace.

Su Yang, hidden among the crowd, shouted loudly: "Jiazi is running away—catch her!"

Tens of thousands charged toward the island nation's imperial palace—they had forgotten Sovereign Jiazi's terrifying power as a Sovereign-level cultivator.

They only saw a woman fleeing in disgrace before them!

Seeing these fanatical islanders storm into the palace hall, Su Yang couldn't help but smile.

He realized Sovereign Jiazi had been struck hard.

Otherwise, she would never have turned and fled back into the palace—that was clearly a sign of weakness!

After all, as a Sovereign-level cultivator, if she had shown her true authority, she could have easily intimidated tens of thousands.

Sovereign Jiazi reached the palace gates and shouted loudly: "Why are these people storming the imperial palace!"
