Chapter 174: Achievements Overshadowing the Master, Discarding the Bow Once the Birds Are Gone!

Originally, after learning of the internal chaos in Da Qin, the War Demon Race had intended to launch a massive offensive this time, taking advantage of the situation to strike.

They prepared to destroy Da Qin in one fell swoop while the nation's strength was weakened.

Yet, to the surprise of the War Demon Race, they returned in a crushing defeat this time.

Even three Saint-level powerhouses had been deployed, and with the addition of Liu Mei, four top-tier powerhouses of Venerable Rank or higher had set out together.

As a result, they were defeated one after another by Luo Shuiyan, who relied on an unknown Array! The War Demon Race had never imagined that not only would they fail to achieve their goal of destroying Da Qin this time.

Instead, it had the opposite effect, pushing the morale of all of Da Qin to its peak! For so many years, the borders of Da Qin had been plagued by constant warfare.

Although they had always been defending against the Demon Race, each time it was nothing more than relying on the city walls to hold their ground.

Da Qin was merely one of many small nations; its strength could not compare to the three core kingdoms, let alone the formidable War Demon Race.

Usually, in past wars, the soldiers at the borders of Da Qin could only barely manage to hold the city walls from being breached.

Then they would wait for the War Demon Race to fail after a long siege and be forced to abandon the attack.

Under normal circumstances, the strength of the Demon Race was always greater than that of the Human Race.

In past wars, they almost always ended in victory for the Demon Race.

The Human Race could only sacrifice countless lives to defend their homeland in an extremely tragic manner.

But this time, it was the first time Da Qin had repelled the Demon Race head-on, and they had even charged out from the city walls to return in a great victory!

For Da Qin, or rather for the Human Race, this battle would be a new starting point! After the victory of this battle, the King of Qin immediately proclaimed the news of the triumph to the world!

For a time, the entire Da Qin was filled with excitement.

All the citizens raised their arms and cheered, their faces beaming with excitement.

Although most people knew that the King of Qin's previous bloody purge of Da Qin was aimed at those rebellious noble families.

Yet, that bloody slaughter which spread across the entire country still cast a shadow over everyone's hearts to some extent.

And now, that shadow was also dispersed by the cheers of victory!

Da Qin was a nation that had always been in the midst of war, and all its citizens were full of mettle.

The people of Da Qin never feared war, but the battles against the Demon Race were too tragic, and they had been defeated time and time again.

The frustration of these years had long kept Da Qin suppressed for too long.

The King of Qin wanted the people of the world to understand that the so-called Demon Race was not as terrifying as they had imagined! The Demon Race was not invincible! Even the powerful Demon Race was but flesh and blood; they could also die! They were not invincible beings! "Not bad, truly not bad. Now, at last, there is no need to rely on me alone."

Jiang Che looked at Luo Shuiyan, who was radiating a formidable aura and possessed heaven-shaking power in every gesture, and felt very gratified in his heart.

The 'maid' he had taken care of for so long was finally able to stand on her own two feet.

Repelling a Saint-level powerhouse head-on truly brought him honor.

"As expected of the National Teacher, she truly possesses talent that can reshape the heavens and the earth!"

"Perhaps this is the true Child of Destiny, born to face the calamity, a hero of the Human Race who defends against the Demon Race..."

The King of Qin gazed toward the battlefield, unable to help but sigh with emotion.

At this moment, the King of Qin had a feeling that even as a monarch of a nation, he lacked a bit of presence in front of Luo Shuiyan.

However, the current Luo Shuiyan was already honored as the National Teacher and concurrently served as the Grand Marshal of the nation's armed forces.

Whether in civil or military affairs, she had reached the top of the empire; there were no more rewards to be given.

If it were an ordinary monarch, they might have already felt threatened at this time.

The most ruthless is the imperial family; ordinary rulers would never allow the appearance of someone whose achievements overshadow the master.

But the King of Qin was different; in his heart, he thought only of the prosperity of Da Qin, not his own selfish desires.

In the eyes of the King of Qin, Luo Shuiyan was a hero who could crush the Demon Race head-on in her first time leading an army.

How could he commit such a base act of discarding the bow once the birds are gone?

"Perhaps, this is truly the person sent by the heavens to save my Da Qin."

"When the time is ripe, this throne might even be abdicated..." Looking at the peerless Luo Shuiyan, the King of Qin sighed inwardly.

Within Da Qin.

All the remaining forces of the noble families now understood that after this battle, there was absolutely no possibility of toppling Luo Shuiyan.

Therefore, even the remnants of many noble families were now beginning to act according to the system established after the reforms.

Because they knew that their survival was entirely a stroke of luck.

If they did not conform to the situation, I fear they would have no chance of success in this lifetime...

For a time, with the victory of this battle, the situation within Da Qin, which had not yet been completely stable, was now firmly solidified.

Many citizens of Da Qin could vaguely feel that the national destiny line of Da Qin seemed to be starting to rise...

Because they were very close to the borders of Da Qin, when the Demon Race army attacked Da Qin,

Da Qi had already heard the news and made corresponding deployments.

A large number of Qi Kingdom troops were transferred near the border of Da Qin.

Because if Da Qin fell, then the eastern border of Da Qi would also be exposed to the sight of the Demon Race.

In previous years, there had been no major battles, so Da Qi did not have many defensive troops in the areas bordering Da Qin.

"I knew when we met back then that that woman was definitely not simple, but I still didn't expect her to grow so fast..."

The Imperial Grandson of Da Qi could not help but sigh.

And standing in front of him was a middle-aged man, who was none other than the Crown Prince of Da Qi.

"No wonder that Sima Qingtian actually took action against the young talents of his own country."

"A young hero like Luo Shuiyan is like a brilliant shooting star; the Sima Family cannot suppress her!"

The Crown Prince of Da Qi said in a deep voice.

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace court of Da Chu, many civil and military officials were gathered together.

The news that Luo Shuiyan and the others had soundly defeated the War Demon Race army had already reached Chu.

This shocked everyone in Chu, as they had not expected Luo Shuiyan to possess such strength.

Not only was her personal cultivation talent outstanding, but she was also capable of leading great armies into battle.

"It is truly a pity that we failed to keep a talent like Luo Shuiyan back then."

"Looking across the world, one would be hard-pressed to find even a few such young talents."

"If only we could have kept them within the borders of our Da Chu back then..."

Inside the great hall, some could not help but let out sighs.

The news of Luo Shuiyan displaying her talents in Qin made them incredibly envious.

Looking at the continent now, one would likely struggle to find anyone who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Luo Shuiyan.

Even the royal family of Da Chu had to acknowledge the monstrous talent of Luo Shuiyan.

Even the Imperial Grandson Xiang Shaoyu, who possesses the King's Hegemonic Qi, cannot compare to her at all...

After Luo Shuiyan left Da Jin, the first place she arrived at was Chu.

Thinking back to how they failed to keep Luo Shuiyan, everyone in Chu felt immense regret.

"Now, Luo Shuiyan holds a high position in Qin, presiding over reforms and other national policies."

"And now she has achieved such a miraculous feat for the Human Race; her merits truly overshadow the master."

"I fear that if Luo Shuiyan were to raise her arm and call out, she could stir up monstrous waves within Qin..."

"Tell me... does the Ying clan of Qin have the magnanimity to tolerate such a person?"
