Chapter 182: Sima Qingtian's Assassination Plan!

The Xiang family of Chu possesses the King's Hegemonic Qi and has always considered themselves the rightful kings of the Heavenly Dao, thinking, "If not me, then who?"

Yet they did not expect that even their own Xiang family would not dare to call themselves the Human Common Lord.

Now, Luo Shuiyan, a mere yellow-haired girl in her early twenties, actually dares to speak such big words.

Even though Chu once recruited Luo Shuiyan and thought very highly of her, they are now extremely displeased.

Qin, along with surrounding small nations like Wu and Yue Jiang, have now formed a unified front, jointly honoring Luo Shuiyan as the Human Common Lord.

Luo Shuiyan's influence on the continent is growing ever wider, to the point that the three core dynasties are all very dissatisfied with her.

Especially the Da Jin, Luo Shuiyan's homeland, as the Sima Family is extremely narrow-minded.

Especially back then, in order to curb Luo Shuiyan's development, Sima Qingtian even sent assassins to kill her.

After Luo Shuiyan luckily escaped Great Jin, he secretly took action against the Yin Family and the Lin Family.

If not for the Xiaotian Sect stepping in, these two families would likely not have escaped the poisonous clutches, and even so, they suffered suppression from the Imperial Family.

It can be said that the Great Jin Imperial Family and Luo Shuiyan had long since formed a grudge, and the relationship between them is impossible to heal.

If not for Luo Shuiyan having memories of her past life, she would likely have already died at the hands of the Sima Family.

With this rift between the two sides, Luo Shuiyan's growth speed is too fast, which has thoroughly caused the Sima Family to harbor murderous intent toward her.

However, Qin and Great Jin are very far apart, with a distance of over one hundred thousand li.

Even though Great Jin is one of the three core nations and possesses formidable strength, it is beyond their reach.

Not to mention that Chu lies in between; wanting to send troops to crusade over such a long distance is simply impossible.

"I really didn't expect that this woman could actually grow to this current realm!"

At this moment, Sima Qingtian's expression is incomparably gloomy, and his eyes are filled with killing intent.

After learning the news about Luo Shuiyan, his fists clenched tight, and his knuckles creaked.

"I don't believe that Luo Shuiyan, having set up some Human Common Lord title and united so many small nations..."

"The strength of Qin is growing stronger and stronger; I don't believe that Qi and Chu will just let her continue to grow like this..."

Sima Qingtian looked at his subordinate and sneered, "Send someone to Chu. Don't they pride themselves on having some innate King's Hegemonic Qi?"

"I want to hear what they think about this Human Common Lord, Luo Shuiyan!"

"Remember to explain all the pros and cons clearly to our Chu King; it would be best if we can get Chu to send troops to wipe out those clowns!"

After giving orders to his subordinate, Sima Qingtian stood up and personally headed toward a palace deep within the Imperial Palace of Great Jin.

This is the second forbidden area of the Imperial Palace, and usually, almost no one walks around here.

As for the first forbidden area of the Imperial Palace, it is the place where the ancestors of the Da Jin, namely the current Jin King, practice and seclude themselves.

Sima Qingtian arrived outside the palace, looked at the incomparably silent building ahead, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Looking across the Da Jin, there are not many people who can make him wary.

And the person residing inside this palace before him is exactly one of them...

The moment Sima Qingtian stepped into the palace, he felt as if the inside and outside of the hall were two different worlds.

This palace is located deep in the Imperial Palace, yet no candles are lit, appearing silent and dark.

After walking just two steps, Sima Qingtian's footsteps stopped, and he looked behind him with a deep frown.

Behind him, without him knowing when, a man dressed in black tight-fitting clothes was already standing there.

This person is hidden in the shadows, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly.

But the aura radiating from his body is as if he were a god of death who had walked out of the Nine Nether Purgatory! Just one look makes one's heart tremble.

Even Sima Qingtian felt his breathing stall for a split second. And this man hidden in the shadows is the number one assassin of the Da Jin, Ying Sha! He possesses formidable Saint-level cultivation, and most importantly, he is extremely skilled in assassination.

Capable of killing opponents in secret, Ying Sha never engages in direct confrontation.

Furthermore, the person is like his name; he has always been hidden in the shadows, and his strikes happen only in an instant.

Those he assassinated had no chance to react before their lives were directly extinguished.

During the founding of the Da Jin, Ying Sha once performed countless meritorious deeds for the Imperial Family.

He beheaded many monarchs and ministers of small nations, yet no one knew of his existence.

To this day, apart from a few people within the Great Jin Imperial Family, no one knows that there is a Saint-level assassin in this palace.

"What is it again?"

Ying Sha's voice was low and somewhat hoarse.

"That girl named Luo Shuiyan has now run to Qin, stirring up trouble there and uniting four small nations."

"Now she is called the Human Common Lord; this child must not be left alive. If she is allowed to develop, it will definitely be disadvantageous to our Great Jin."

"I sent people to take action against her back then, but let her escape with her life. Once this Luo Shuiyan grows up, she will definitely take revenge on the Imperial Family."

"I want her to disappear from this world!"

A chilling killing intent erupted in Sima Qingtian's eyes.

Although he has already sent people to lobby the Chu King, Sima Qingtian knows that Chu is not a mediocre lot and will not be easily used.

Only if Ying Sha takes action can he ensure there is no room for error.

After hearing Sima Qingtian's words, the man hidden in the shadows nodded.

Immediately, before Sima Qingtian could react, the man before him had already disappeared from where he stood.

Ying Sha was as if invisible, leaving the Imperial Palace and flying rapidly toward Qin, his speed so fast it was unimaginable.

Imperial Capital of Da Qin.

Ever since Luo Shuiyan was pushed by the Qin King to be the Human Common Lord.

Under the various administrations of Shang Jun, the military forces of Qin and the three surrounding nations have now united together.

According to the new laws of Qin, they are under the unified command of Luo Shuiyan.

Qin was determined to reform its laws and strengthen itself, and the other three nations followed in Qin's footsteps, gradually implementing new laws.

It could be said that these four nations were linked together by Luo Shuiyan.

Now their relations were becoming increasingly close, and their overall strength had also become more formidable.

Although Luo Shuiyan had not wanted to step into the spotlight, after all, as the Empress of the First Central Empire in her past life, she still possessed the ability to handle these administrative affairs.

It was just that while Luo Shuiyan was handling the various administrative affairs of the four nations, she was unaware that an uninvited guest had already arrived in Xianyang City at this time.

A Saint-level assassin, resembling a shadow, had already approached Luo Shuiyan without her noticing.

Shang Jun came to report: "Lord Luo, the Chu side has sent an envoy, specifically requesting to see you."

"I knew long ago that these three nations would not be able to sit still; sure enough, they have come one after another."

Luo Shuiyan chuckled softly.

"Let's go, Shang Jun, we shall meet this envoy from Chu together and see what this Chu King has to say to us?"

Immediately, Luo Shuiyan followed Shang Jun to meet the envoy from Da Chu.
