Chapter 187: The Danger in the Shu Region!

After learning that Old Guo was a Seven-Star Saint, Jiang Che felt at ease regarding Tianque Academy.

With such a powerhouse holding the fort, plus the distance from the Imperial City, it would not be so easy for the Sima Family to stir up trouble.

However, after hearing Old Guo's words, Jiang Che still could not help but ask via voice transmission.

"What is the cultivation level of the Great Jin Emperor, who has been in seclusion cultivating all this time? Is he also a Saint?"

Upon hearing this from Jiang Che, a rare look of gravity finally appeared on the face of the usually calm and composed Old Guo.

"His strength is indeed very formidable; he was already a Seven-Star many years ago."

"Now that he has been in seclusion for many more years, I do not know to what level his cultivation has reached..."

Jiang Che was startled upon hearing this.

Although he knew the strength of this founding emperor was extraordinary, he had not expected it to be this strong! He was already a Seven-Star Beast Tamer many years ago; judging by Old Guo's implication, it was very likely that the Emperor's current strength was even greater than Old Guo's...

Jiang Che now understood that none of these emperors who founded empires were easy to deal with...

Even though they did not show their faces for years, no one dared to harbor the slightest bit of disloyalty.

Even though Sima Qingtian was sinister and ruthless, he did not dare to overstep his bounds in the slightest, all because of the old emperor's strength...

Furthermore, during this time, Jiang Che had also learned much of the history of this continent from Luo Shuiyan.

This Great Jin Dynasty was the last one to be founded among the core nations.

In the chaotic times of that era, the old Jin Emperor had built his empire entirely through sheer strength.

He annexed one nation after another and cut down one competitor after another.

Seeming to see Jiang Che's wariness toward this old emperor, Old Guo then smiled nonchalantly.

"Rest assured, you also know that I am a person from the previous dynasty; back then, this place was not yet Da Jin."

"It is just that at the time, the imperial court of the country I was in was corrupt, so when the Sima Family rebelled, I did not intervene."

"This Sima Family was actually quite sensible, even though they were constantly expanding."

"But they also knew who could be provoked and who could not."

As he spoke, a proud confidence and a formidable aura radiated from Old Guo.

This was the temperament possessed only by those who had long held high positions.

Clearly, Old Guo was a top-tier powerhouse back then, and that imposing posture had lasted to this day.

Although he was advanced in years, one could still see the high spirits of his youth amidst his white hair!

"So, little one, there is no need to worry. As long as I am here, the Sima Family will not dare to touch Xi'an Ancient City, let alone this Tianque Academy."

"You can tell that little girl Shui Yan not to worry about us."

Jiang Che nodded upon hearing this, "Then later... will you also take action against Da Jin?"

It was destined that Luo Shuiyan would be at odds with the Sima Family.

That old emperor had the cultivation of a Seven-Star Saint many years ago, and now there was no telling what level he had broken through to.

If a powerhouse of Old Guo's caliber could help, it would save a lot of trouble.

After all, looking across the entire continent, there were not many Seven-Star Saint existences.

Old Guo nodded upon hearing this and said, "When the time is ripe, I will naturally take action."

With Old Guo's word, Jiang Che was relieved.

After asking about Xue Bingning's location, Jiang Che returned to the villa.

After Luo Shuiyan and the others left, Xue Bingning had been cultivating in the villa the entire time.

Now, seeing Jiang Che's sudden appearance, she was immediately overjoyed.

"Teacher Xue, don't look around, it's just me; Shui Yan and the others are still in Qin."

A mature man's voice rang in her ears, and Xue Bingning could not help but cover her mouth in surprise.

After a long while, she finally confirmed it was indeed Jiang Che before her.

After Jiang Che explained, he informed her of his purpose.

Xue Bingning had no objections to heading to Qin. The two hit it off immediately, and they sat on Xue Bingning's ice bird, flying toward the south.

Xue Bingning was not like those clansmen of the Yin Family; Jiang Che could not bear to stuff such a beautiful woman into a spatial storage item.

Xue Bingning was a genuine, top-tier mature beauty, and her enchanting, proud figure was not something Luo Shuiyan or Yi Zimeng could compare to.

She was even streets ahead of Lin Xueer and Hu Xiaoxiao.

"Nice, this is the feeling..."

Lying quietly in Xue Bingning's embrace, the familiar head-cushioning sensation left Jiang Che looking completely intoxicated.

Jiang Che did not return directly to Qin, but instead made a trip to the Shu Region in the southwest.

Without any worries, Zhang Kai had now led his subordinates to revolt.

However, as he was the first regional commander to revolt, he naturally faced greater suppression.

Jiang Che prepared to help Zhang Kai along the way, at least to help him survive the initial crisis; he couldn't have him finish before Luo Shuiyan rose to power...

Although Jiang Che only wanted to lie flat, since Luo Shuiyan wanted to unify the Human Race, Jiang Che did not mind lending a hand.

Upon arriving at Shu City, Jiang Che discovered that Zhang Kai had actually been hiding his strength all along! Jiang Che realized at this moment that Zhang Kai was also a Saint-level powerhouse, and a Two-Star Saint at that, with very formidable strength! The reason he had pretended to be a Half-Saint before was to avoid arousing the Sima Family's suspicion.

Seeing Jiang Che arrive, Zhang Kai immediately welcomed him with great fanfare.

His face was full of gratitude; Luo Shuiyan had helped remove the threat to Zhang Kai's family.

Out of love for the house and its crow, Zhang Kai naturally regarded Jiang Che as a savior.

"Miss Luo's recent actions have truly left us in awe!"

"For many years, the Human Race has rarely defeated the Demon Race on the front lines."

"Mr. Jiang, you and Miss Luo are truly legends of our Human Race."

As soon as they met, Zhang Kai showered Luo Shuiyan and Jiang Che with praise.

Various banners of national righteousness and titles of human liberator were being pinned onto him, which made Jiang Che feel somewhat embarrassed.

After all, he hadn't originally thought that much; he just wanted to lie flat...

Xue Bingning, who was to the side, had stars in her eyes after hearing all this, looking at Jiang Che as if she wished she could pull him straight into her embrace.

"City Lord Zhang, to tell you the truth, I came here this time to help you solve your troubles."

"Have you encountered any problems that you need me to help you solve?"

Jiang Che could not stand Zhang Kai's flattery and hurriedly interrupted him via voice transmission.

Hearing these words from Jiang Che, Zhang Kai's eyes lit up.

He already knew that Jiang Che's current strength was extraordinary; he was the Guardian Spirit Beast of Qin, and had even swayed the human-demon battlefield single-handedly.

"Since Mr. Jiang is so direct, I will speak plainly: the Sima Family has sent a Three-Star Saint Level, whose strength is above mine, and the pressure is indeed great..."

Jiang Che nodded; a Three-Star Saint Level was indeed formidable, but it was nothing to him.

"Lead the way, let's wipe him out directly."

Zhang Kai had originally wanted to discuss a plan with Jiang Che, but he hadn't expected him to be so straightforward.

Immediately, the two arrived at a mountain forest three hundred miles outside the Shu Region.

Without a word, Jiang Che appeared directly from the void.

However, this Saint level expert reacted extremely quickly, hurriedly rising to counterattack.

Yet Jiang Che did not play by the rules, continuously utilizing his ability to escape into the void.

Catching the Saint level expert off guard, he directly knocked him over with a brick.

As Jiang Che's strength continued to rise, the Kirin Seal could likewise knock over Saint level experts.

Zhang Kai seized the opportunity and unleashed his full power, striking this Venerable Rank expert from the Great Jin Imperial Family until he spat blood.

This Three-Star Saint Level expert didn't even have time to summon his own Spirit Beast before he was directly trampled to the ground by Jiang Che, who had transformed into a purple-gold Kirin.
