Chapter 184: Rebellion in the Shu Region, Great Jin in Turmoil!

Ying Sha, who had been extremely arrogant, suddenly fell silent after hearing Luo Shuiyan's mockery.

Looking across the entire continent, Saint-level powerhouses are the most pinnacle existences.

Even a mere Half-Saint is a figure who shakes the world with their reputation.

In the Imperial Capital of the Da Jin, even a Nine-Star Venerable Beast Tamer is enough to establish a powerful noble family and dominate a region.

Yet, Ying Sha clearly possessed a formidable Saint-level cultivation, and he specialized in the path of assassination.

It can be said that even among Saint-level powerhouses, he was a figure of extreme danger.

But because he had been working for the Great Jin Imperial Family for many years, he could only hide in the shadows.

Just as Luo Shuiyan said, for so many years, he possessed powerful cultivation but was forced to remain obscure.

He could only live like a rat in the dark, unable to see the light of day.

Even the weakest Beast Tamer lived a more glorious life than he did.

Within the Great Jin Imperial Palace, Ying Sha would not even light a candle, and that palace was rarely visited by anyone.

For so many years, no matter how strong his power was, he was merely a blade in the dark for the Great Jin Imperial Family, with no life of his own.

He had even performed countless meritorious deeds for the Great Jin Imperial Family in the past.

He assassinated countless targets and bore endless infamy.

Yet, in order to recruit former enemies, stabilize their own reign, and secure more benefits for themselves, the Sima Family ultimately chose to compromise.

They forced him, a powerful Saint-level expert, to hide away...

Originally, Ying Sha had not thought much of it, but now, hearing Luo Shuiyan put it this way, his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"A dignified Saint-level powerhouse, yet now you have been driven into a corner by the Sima Family with no way out."

"Your identity has been exposed; various forces across the continent will hunt you down, and even the Sima Family might turn against you!"

Luo Shuiyan looked at the Ying Sha before her and said indifferently.

After hearing these words from Luo Shuiyan, a trace of bitterness welled up in Ying Sha's heart, and he then gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Since that is the case, why say so much to me? You might as well just kill me."

"Perhaps you could even take my head to trade for some benefits with other forces."

As a Saint-level assassin, Ying Sha had never missed a target.

Yet he never expected that today, he would fall into the hands of Jiang Che.

Being stepped on by such a massive purple-gold Kirin, he could not circulate any of his spiritual power, like fish on a chopping block...

Seeing the dim-eyed and despairing Ying Sha, Luo Shuiyan did not intend to kill him.

"In this Human Race kingdom, there truly is no longer a place for you."

"Now that you cannot go anywhere, your only way out is to go and kill those evil-doing Demon Race!"

"Possessing such powerful cultivation, yet spending your whole life as someone else's pawn—do you really want to waste these years of bitter cultivation in vain?"

Ying Sha looked at Luo Shuiyan, his originally dim eyes regaining a glimmer of light.

He gave a self-deprecating smile and said: "Perhaps you are right; in this life, for the private interests of the Sima Family, I don't know how many dirty deeds I have done."

"Perhaps dying on the battlefield for the Human Race, using this lifetime of cultivation to finally do something right, is my ultimate destination..."

Luo Shuiyan looked toward Jiang Che and nodded gently.

Jiang Che then lifted his claw, and Ying Sha stood up, took one look at Luo Shuiyan, and sighed helplessly.

He then headed directly toward the borderlands, clearly having listened to Luo Shuiyan's words and preparing to become a Demon Hunter.

A Demon Hunter with Saint-level strength who is also proficient in the path of assassination is a terrifying existence on the battlefield!

Luo Shuiyan was not worried about Ying Sha turning against them; after all, as she had said, Ying Sha no longer had a place to stay. Only at the border could he stop hiding in the shadows.

As the Empress in her past life, Luo Shuiyan's vision and bearing were naturally beyond that of ordinary people.

In her view, sparing Ying Sha's life had only benefits and no drawbacks for the Human Race.

For such a powerful Saint-level existence to die at the hands of the Human Race itself would be a great loss.

Ying Sha was different from other Saint-level experts; he was proficient in the art of assassination.

Now that he had gone to the border, to the Demon Race, he would be a nightmare in the night and a god of death in the shadows.

Ying Sha's strength was extremely formidable; otherwise, he would not have traversed the continent for so long without being discovered.

If not for Luo Shuiyan possessing the Teleportation Technique, and if not for Jiang Che's strength being truly heaven-defying.

He would likely have already succeeded and retreated today.

This Saint-level assassin would forever be a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Demon Race!

Following this, the news that Ying Sha was still alive gradually spread across the continent.

Back then, the Great Jin had sent Ying Sha to assassinate many people in order to establish the nation.

And over these years, many situations that were inconvenient for the Sima Family to handle were resolved by Ying Sha.

Everyone had originally thought that Ying Sha had long since died, but now, hearing this news, they were filled with fury.

This was a deception by the Sima Family against everyone.

And the one most affected by this turmoil was naturally the Da Jin.

Because the former Jin was built through the continuous expansion of the Sima Family, and many local officials were experts who had been recruited and surrendered.

One of the conditions for their surrender back then was the execution of the murderous demon Ying Sha.

As it turned out, they had been kept in the dark from beginning to end.

For a time, protests broke out all over Jin, and the royal authority of the Great Jin Imperial Family suffered a massive blow for the first time.

And Luo Shuiyan, now acting as the Human Common Lord, was able to magnanimously spare the life of the Saint-level expert who had attempted to assassinate her.

She let Ying Sha head to the border to hunt the Demon Race and atone for his sins.

This move gained the support of many people.

Originally, many people had scoffed at Luo Shuiyan, this so-called Human Common Lord.

In their view, for a mere twenty-year-old yellow-haired girl to be called the Human Common Lord was simply absurd.

But now, seeing that Luo Shuiyan had such vision, many people secretly admired her in their hearts.

Yet at this very moment, a territory in the southwest of the Da Jin directly announced its rebellion.

The former City Lord of Shu City, Zhang Kai, led his subordinates to declare independence.

Because the threats against his family had now been resolved with the help of Luo Shuiyan.

With his family's lives no longer under threat, Zhang Kai had no more scruples.

And the Shu Region breaking away from the control of Great Jin was like a fuse, rapidly triggering a series of chain reactions.

In just a few short days, several regional military governors of Great Jin rebelled together, one after another announcing their independence.

This series of negative impacts pushed the Sima Family directly into the limelight.

It also made the Great Jin Imperial Family, who usually held royal power supreme, extremely furious at these people.

They directly began to conscript armies and started to conquer the rebel forces one by one.
