Chapter 153: Woman, are you planning to start a career of hegemony?

The Qin that Luo Shuiyan mentioned at this moment is not one of the Three Core Nations on the continent.

It is merely one of the many small surrounding countries, and its strength is significantly inferior to the three core empires.

Its location is sandwiched between Da Chu and the Qi Kingdom.

Furthermore, Qin also has a border that connects to the Demon Race region, where small-scale frictions and battles frequently occur.

The reason Luo Shuiyan chose to head to Qin is because she once had a capable assistant there.

That is the current Prime Minister of Qin, Shang Jun.

When she traveled across the continent in her past life, she had once visited Qin.

She happened to discover that Shang Jun of Qin was in the midst of implementing legal reforms.

That wind of reform left even Luo Shuiyan feeling surprised; she had not expected Shang Jun to possess such grand strategies and vision.

These reforms were not the usual minor tinkering, but a true challenge launched against those noble clans and powerful families.

If the reforms could succeed in every aspect, it would end the trend of the Human Race where noble clans and powerful families monopolize all resources.

It would make the Human Race become more powerful and allow those ordinary Beast Tamers to also have the opportunity to step onto the path of the strong.

Because this time, the reforms would involve laws, involve the very foundation of the nation, and possess a complete set of reward and punishment measures, among other things!

"Qin? I have heard of this country; it is considered quite famous among the many small nations."

"Moreover, this country is between Da Qi and Da Chu, so the Sima Family's reach shouldn't be long enough to extend there."

"By the way, Shui Yan, is there some ancient Secret Realm about to emerge in this small country?"

After hearing Luo Shuiyan's plan, Yi Zimeng and the others began to discuss it for a moment.

Because of habit, everyone still thought that Luo Shuiyan was still heading to Qin for the sake of a Secret Realm.

After all, previously, every time Luo Shuiyan set out, her target was aimed at various Secret Realms.

"No, I am going to see an acquaintance."

Luo Shuiyan spoke very frankly, which made Yi Zimeng and the others somewhat curious.

Nowadays, they are only in their early twenties, which can be said to be very young for Beast Tamers.

Among the four, even Hu Xiaoxiao and Yi Zimeng, who have extraordinary backgrounds, have never left Da Jin all these years.

They did not expect that Luo Shuiyan, who was born in Jianghai City, actually had an old friend in the distant Qin!

However, everyone also knew Luo Shuiyan's habits; if she did not want to explain, Luo Shuiyan would not say more, so they did not ask further.

After all, there are truly too many things about Luo Shuiyan that are surprising; if one were to get to the bottom of it, one wouldn't know when the explanations would end.

In any case, the few of them only needed to know that Luo Shuiyan would not harm them, and that was enough.

Moreover, that ideology of Luo Shuiyan's, striving for the Human Race, constantly influenced them.

Even without conflicts of interest, Yi Zimeng and the others are still willing to follow Luo Shuiyan.

"Alright, since everyone has no objections, let's set off."

Luo Shuiyan led the group to set off; because of the Crown Prince of Da Jin, they had to travel along the border for this entire journey.

That is to say, Luo Shuiyan and the others were essentially walking around the Canglan Mountain.

Without explaining it to the others, Luo Shuiyan still told Jiang Che her thoughts privately.

Upon learning of Luo Shuiyan's purpose for going to Qin—that she actually wanted to help Shang Jun carry out reforms ahead of schedule and help him clear away the obstacles to the reforms—

Jiang Che was secretly shocked in his heart.

"This woman is worthy of being an Empress in her past life; she is planning to start a path of dynasty hegemony..."

After hearing Luo Shuiyan's plan, Jiang Che could not help but sigh with emotion.

He only hoped that in the time to come, he could have more time to lie flat...

Not long after, Luo Shuiyan's group encountered a squad of the Demon Race, specifically the Blood Demon Race.

Among this squad of Blood Demons, there was an old acquaintance of Luo Shuiyan and the others.

It was precisely that Blood Demon Race Venerable who had appeared at the Tianlan Sacred Ground! The Seven-Star Venerable Xueshatian! This Blood Demon Race Venerable was not just ordinarily afraid of death; at the time, after the Secret Realm space fluctuated, he directly transformed into a phantom and ran toward the entrance.

He succeeded in leaving the Tianlan Sacred Ground before the Secret Realm collapsed.

At this moment, looking at Luo Shuiyan's group, these Demon Race experts immediately had their expressions turn incomparably ferocious.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect us to encounter four Human women; catching them back is just right to use as high-quality cultivation cauldrons!"

The Blood Demon Race almost all had streaks of blood light flowing on their bodies, looking very ferocious.

"I have already smelled the scent of blood inside the young women's bodies; it is truly mouth-watering!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the strength of these few is not low; they must be considered young talents among the Human Race, yet they actually delivered themselves to our door!"

Xueshatian sneered as he looked at Luo Shuiyan and the others; he could clearly feel the tyrannical aura emanating from Luo Shuiyan and Jiang Che.

Clearly, the two were experts of the younger generation among the Human Race, and what he loved to do most was to drain the blood of these so-called geniuses!

"It's this disgusting guy again!"

Seeing Xueshatian, Luo Shuiyan and the four were filled with disgust and hatred.

They had seen very clearly in the Secret Realm space before that the leader of the Demon Race in the Secret Realm was precisely this Xueshatian.

Recalling the fragments of the shattered statue, the group was suddenly burning with rage.

Under their full-power release, these Blood Demon Race members were actually no match for Luo Shuiyan and the four.

And Jiang Che directly unleashed his Kirin Body, charging toward Xueshatian.

Xueshatian had already transformed into a sea of blood, and a thick, bloody stench instantly permeated the battlefield.

The sky seemed to have been dyed blood-red by him; the constantly churning sea of blood looked incomparably terrifying, and it seemed one could hear the wails of countless spirits.

Clearly, having cultivated until now, this Xueshatian did not know how many living beings he had harmed.

"Hmm? Such a tyrannical aura, what kind of Spirit Beast is this?!"

At this moment, Xueshatian was full of surprise.

He desperately tried to extract Jiang Che's blood, only to discover that, for the moment, he was unable to control the blood inside Jiang Che's body.

The formidable nature of the Blood Demon Race lies in their ability to control the blood within an enemy's body for their own use, yet he happened to encounter Jiang Che...

With Xueshatian caught off guard, Jiang Che had already arrived at the very center of the sea of blood.

He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of purple Kirin True Flame, instantly igniting the entire sea of blood.

Having previously broken Yin Zhong's Blood Transformation Great Method, Jiang Che already had a certain way of dealing with it.

Dealing with Xueshatian this time could be considered familiar territory.

For a moment, Xueshatian's shrill, mournful wails echoed between heaven and earth.

Those Blood Race powerhouses who were still engaged in battle with Luo Shuiyan and the others were struck with terror at the sight.

They never expected that the ancestor of their own race would ever be in such a wretched state! Because Xueshatian had previously lost a clone in the ruins of the Tianlan Sacred Ground, his strength had already diminished significantly, and now, caught off guard, he was even less of a match for Jiang Che.

Before long, the towering sea of blood was burned clean by the purple flames.

This Blood Demon Race powerhouse, who was nearly impossible to kill, was burned alive in mid-air by Ye Chen! This battle ended very quickly, and by the time other Human Race powerhouses arrived at this location, Luo Shuiyan and her group had long since gone far away.

After this minor interlude, the group continued on their journey, and the subsequent path was relatively much safer, with no encounters with the Demon Race along the way.

Half a month later, Luo Shuiyan and the others finally left the border of Da Jin.

Luo Shuiyan prepared to enter the territory of Chu through its frontier fortress, because Da Qin was in the east, and they had to cross Chu to reach it.

Three years ago, within the Canglan Mountain Range, they had once had a conflict with the Xiang Family imperial clan of Chu.

This made Yi Zimeng and the other two feel somewhat worried for a moment.

Luo Shuiyan, however, did not care about this at all.

"Everyone need not worry; although the Xiang Family acts somewhat arrogantly, they do not stoop to playing petty tricks in the dark."
