Chapter 183: Capture Ying Sha Alive!

Inside the reception hall.

The envoy from Chu bowed to Luo Shuiyan, exchanged some pleasantries, and then went straight to the point.

"Miss Luo, the stir you have caused here in Qin is truly extraordinary."

"It is now common knowledge that you have taken on the title of Human Common Lord."

"But Miss Luo, don't you think that at merely twenty years of age, bestowing upon yourself the title of Human Common Lord is a bit of an exaggeration?"

"Are you not afraid of being accused of having virtue unworthy of your position?"

As he spoke, the envoy turned and cupped his hands in the direction of Chu.

"Even the Great Chu Imperial Family, born with Royal Hegemonic Qi, has never dared to call themselves the Human Common Lord. Does Miss Luo not feel that this action of yours is highly inappropriate?!"

The envoy from Chu spoke with great conviction, showing no intention of treating Luo Shuiyan as the Human Common Lord.

In the eyes of Chu, Luo Shuiyan was simply too young; a yellow-haired girl in her early twenties could never stir up any real waves.

"Miss Luo, in my opinion, you should drop this title of Human Common Lord. It is better not to touch such an overly lofty name!"

"I am only thinking of you, Miss Luo. After all, looking across the entire continent, the person capable of serving as the Human Common Lord..."

"Should at the very least be born from the royal families of the Three Core Nations."

"As for this tiny Qin and you, Miss Luo, I think it would be best not to get involved so easily."

Hearing the words of the Chu envoy, Luo Shuiyan's expression remained very calm, though her eyes held a hint of impatience.

What surprised her was that after she put out the title of Human Common Lord, the first to come knocking was actually Chu.

After all, when it came to having a say, it was certainly not Chu's turn.

Although Great Chu was one of the Three Core Nations and possessed immense national strength.

Chu was surrounded by great safety and had no Demon Race presence at all; for these years, Chu had lived the most peacefully.

This Chu was a beneficiary of the status quo, yet they were the first to jump out, which left Luo Shuiyan somewhat disappointed.

"Enough, stop saying these useless things."

"If you want to discuss these issues with me, then have the Chu King come in person. You do not have the qualifications!"

Luo Shuiyan waved her hand impatiently, cutting off the Chu envoy and directly rejecting his previous proposals.

Although she had originally wanted to live a more relaxed life in this lifetime and did not want to walk this path again.

But since she had already been pushed into this position, how could she easily retreat halfway? Furthermore, what Luo Shuiyan represented now was not just herself.

There were also the four nations led by Qin; even if Luo Shuiyan wanted to abandon this identity now, the people under her would not easily agree.

"Chu has been at ease for too long and has no idea of the cruelty of the great war between humans and demons."

"The Chu royal family possesses Royal Hegemonic Qi, but it is merely a facade; they have no idea of the hardships the other nations face in resisting the Demon Race!"

Luo Shuiyan's words left no room for face, and the Chu envoy's expression turned incredibly ugly upon hearing them.

Yet, he found himself unable to refute her words for the moment.

After all, among the Three Core Nations, Chu was indeed the most comfortable one...

"Hm? Who is this?"

Jiang Che had been very leisurely lately, eating, drinking, and having fun every day; he had just returned from a joyride on Xiaohuo's back.

He was somewhat surprised to find that today, Xianyang City had gained a new Saint-level powerhouse.

And this dignified Saint-level powerhouse was acting sneakily, deliberately concealing his tracks.

Under Jiang Che's Holographic Perspective, Ying Sha, who had never been discovered before, had his entire figure exposed.

Yet, Ying Sha was unaware of all this and was still waiting for an opportunity to assassinate.

Just as Luo Shuiyan was seeing the Chu envoy off, Ying Sha, hidden in the shadows, struck decisively.

As the number one assassin of Da Jin, Ying Sha's strike was clean and swift.

Under the pressure of a Saint-level powerhouse, he was like a god of death at this moment, reaching out a scythe from hell!

Under the shroud of a death crisis, Luo Shuiyan's heart raced. Almost subconsciously, she channeled her spiritual power to execute a secret technique.

The next second, Luo Shuiyan's figure appeared a thousand meters away! "I didn't expect you little girl to know Teleportation."

Missing his strike, Ying Sha could not help but be surprised.

He did not expect that his assassination of Luo Shuiyan would actually fail.

And he even less expected that Luo Shuiyan, who came from an ordinary background and was so young, would know a method of Teleportation.

Jiang Che arrived in front of Luo Shuiyan in an instant, and seeing that she was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Che then turned his head sharply to look at Ying Sha, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The envoy from Great Chu, who was preparing to leave, was stunned for a moment by the sudden battle.

Boom! After missing his strike, Ying Sha did not waste words and swung the sharp sword in his hand again.

The tyrannical Saint-level pressure made everyone present feel almost suffocated.

Some Beast Tamers who had come to guard the area were decapitated before they could even see Ying Sha's movements.

In just a single breath, over a dozen people had fallen!

Roar! An angry roar erupted as Jiang Che transformed into a purple-gold Kirin.

Lightning flickered around his body, and rolling heavenly thunder struck down continuously, forcing Ying Sha to take Jiang Che's attacks head-on, unable to escape into the shadows.

Now that Jiang Che had officially stepped into the Saint Rank, his strength had increased several times over compared to before.

Ying Sha was preparing to engage Jiang Che, only to find that Jiang Che had already arrived behind him.

A massive Kirin Claw swung out, slamming Ying Sha directly into the earth.

The immense force caused Ying Sha to spit out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly weakening.

Ying Sha never imagined that the Spirit Beast by Luo Shuiyan's side would possess such powerful strength!

"It's a good thing I came back; a dignified Saint-level powerhouse actually dares to carry out an assassination!"

"This guy, could he have been sent by Chu?"

As Jiang Che spoke, he coldly glanced at the envoy from Chu to the side.

The envoy from Chu was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I don't know him at all!"

"This guy is not from my Chu!"

"I recognize him; this assassin is indeed not from Chu, he comes from Da Jin!"

Luo Shuiyan was very familiar with Ying Sha.

Ying Sha was once among the experts cultivated by the Great Jin Imperial Family, a figure capable of ranking in the top three.

Back then, he assassinated countless monarchs, and subsequently, Jin destroyed the previous dynasty and unified over a dozen small states, finally establishing the current Da Jin.

Because Ying Sha killed too many people, he was ordered to be executed by the surrendered generals of those defeated states.

Although Da Jin informed the world that they had already executed Ying Sha, they still kept him as a hidden blade.

Even in Da Chu, quite a few people had been assassinated by Ying Sha.

"Ying Sha's identity has been exposed; I'm afraid Da Jin will also fall into chaos," Luo Shuiyan thought to herself.

If her expectations were correct, the administrators of many regions in Da Jin would likely be full of grievances against the Imperial Family from now on.

"Hehe, I didn't expect a junior like you to recognize this old man's identity at a glance."

A flash of surprise crossed Ying Sha's eyes; he did not expect that after hiding in the shadows for so many years, he would actually be recognized by Luo Shuiyan.

Hearing Ying Sha's words, the corners of Luo Shuiyan's mouth curled into a sneer.

"Don't you think you are pathetic?"

"A dignified Saint-level powerhouse, yet to be more loyal to the Jin Imperial Family, you can only be hidden away like a rat, not seeing the light of day for so many years!"
