Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!

The next day.

The sudden fall of the Small Sword Immortal plunged the entire Great Qin Empire into grief and despair.

Since the emergence of the Small Sword Immortal, she has rendered great services to the Great Qin Empire.

Not only did she thwart numerous beast tides from invading, but also killed many Tier 3 monster beasts that invaded the cities, and even repelled several Tier 4 fierce beasts claiming to be Demon Kings, saving the people of the Great Qin Empire from peril, fostering gratitude among many citizens towards her.

It can be said that the Small Sword Immortal's prestige in the Great Qin Empire is second only to that of the Willow God who defeated Thunder Tiger.

And now, with the tragic death of the Small Sword Immortal at the hands of the Black Demon Tiger, one can only imagine the hatred the people of the Great Qin Empire have for Fang Yuan.

From last night till today's daylight, the internet has been filled with curses against the Black Demon Tiger. The people of the Great Qin Empire are eager to drink its blood and eat its flesh, gnashing their teeth in anger.

Open any video, and the comments section is flooded with curses directed at the Black Demon Tiger.

[That damned beast, Black Demon Tiger!! Revenge, the Great Qin Empire must avenge the Small Sword Immortal, mobilizing the whole nation to pulverize that beast, the Black Demon Tiger!]

[The Small Sword Immortal was a major pillar of our Great Qin Empire, saving countless citizens' lives, and now we can only helplessly watch her fall! It's all the Black Demon Tiger's fault!! The Great Qin Empire must not rest until vengeance is exacted!]

[Kill, kill the Black Demon Tiger! Avenge the Small Sword Immortal!]

[Even the Small Sword Immortal is no match for that beast, the Black Demon Tiger. Now, perhaps only the Willow God has the power to help avenge her! Please, let the government invite the Willow God to strip the Black Demon Tiger of its skin and sinews, leaving it with no place to be buried!]

[That's right, we must invite the Willow God now, to avenge the Small Sword Immortal...]

[Willow God...]

Soon, on the internet, calls for the Willow God to take action gradually formed a trend, with large numbers of Great Qin Empire citizens speaking up online, petitioning for the government to call upon the Willow God.

Imperial Capital

Principal Lin, with a face ashen as death, leaned powerlessly on his chair, his mind filled with memories.

"I... I shouldn't have let the Small Sword Immortal go~"

In Principal Lin's view, he bore significant responsibility for the Small Sword Immortal's death.

If he hadn't sent her out in a moment of haste, she wouldn't have fallen to the Black Demon Tiger.

The Small Sword Immortal was a Reviver with great potential, her current cultivation level was far from reaching her limits, she had a promising future...

"Principal! Principal, are you... alright!"

Assistant Zhang, standing by, asked hesitantly, looking worried.

Since the news of the Small Sword Immortal's death arrived, the principal had been in this state. Now, an entire night had passed, and he feared that if this continued, the principal might not hold up.

Hearing the call, a glimmer of vitality returned to Principal Lin's eyes.

Then, he sat up with difficulty, turned to look at Assistant Zhang, opened his mouth, and finally said in a low voice: "How is it? Things outside are not looking too good, right!"

Seeing Principal Lin recovering, Assistant Zhang sighed with relief.

"Yes, Principal, after the news of the Small Sword Immortal's death spread, the citizens are enraged, all calling for revenge for the Small Sword Immortal."

Assistant Zhang said with a tense face, nodding.

"Revenge... Of course, the Great Qin Empire must take revenge!"

Principal Lin paused, speaking in a very heavy tone.

He thought to himself: but not now, what does the Great Qin Empire have to exact revenge at this moment?

"Um... Principal, online there's a call for our authorities to invite the Willow God to avenge the Small Sword Immortal." Assistant Zhang hesitated for a moment and mentioned.

"Willow God? Got it, I'll consider it!"

Principal Lin's eyes shifted slightly, nodding slightly.

...

Tiger King Ridge

"Chirp, Master, Little Purple is done!"

Lying comfortably in front of the Bodhi Cave, Jiang Che, while Little Purple crawled down from Jiang Che's back, gasping for air, called out.

"Uh-huh! Little Purple, you can go rest, we'll continue tomorrow."

Jiang Che opened his eyes, feeling utterly relaxed, nodded perfunctorily towards Little Purple.

"Chirp——"

Upon hearing, Little Purple chirped excitedly, but stopped abruptly when hearing what followed from Jiang Che, feeling dejected, nodded unwillingly.

"Alright, off you go, don't just stand around in the way."

Jiang Che took out a communicator, preparing to check something, and seeing Little Purple still standing there in a daze, waved a tiger paw disdainfully.

Little Purple glanced at Jiang Che with a grievance, turned with a bitter face, and climbed onto the Bodhi Holy Tree.

So weary, poor Little Purple's days are not only filled with cultivation but also massaging the stinky master, just wishing every day for a long nap!

Sending Little Purple away, Jiang Che turned on the communicator to read related news.

After a moment.

"Huh? Is Old Two stirring up trouble again?"

Looking at the news stating the Black Demon Tiger's murder of the Small Sword Immortal, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.

He previously saw that Old Two started invading the Great Qin Empire again, but by the time the Great Qin Empire's support arrived, Old Two had already left, not engaging directly.

This time, however, was Old Two's first engagement with the Great Qin Empire after emerging, achieving quite the feat by killing the well-known Small Sword Immortal, which did not surprise Jiang Che at all, considering the substantial gap in cultivation levels between them. Old Two killing the Small Sword Immortal was to be expected.

Suddenly, while reviewing the information, Jiang Che's expression changed.

"Wait, wasn't that Black Demon Tiger Old Two previously? It was actually that Qiongqi guy in disguise!!!"

Jiang Che was somewhat taken aback, having realized that all along, it was Qiongqi.

But why would Qiongqi disguise himself as Old Two to commit such acts?

Was it due to past grievances at Kunlun Mountain or some unknown feud between them?

Rummaging through all the videos related to the Black Demon Tiger during this period, especially the battle between Old Two and the Small Sword Immortal, Jiang Che couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Two really is ruthless!"

Not only did he kill the Small Sword Immortal and others but he also slaughtered the city once over, worthy of being the Ancient Demon Monarch.

However, after watching it all, Jiang Che felt something was off, though he couldn't pinpoint what.

Afterward, Jiang Che reviewed the Black Demon Tiger videos again, not missing even those where Qiongqi impersonated.

A few moments later, a look of realization appeared in Jiang Che's eyes, finally identifying what seemed off.

Willow God!

Why didn't the Willow God take action this time?

This "Black Demon Tiger" caused such a commotion, consecutively slaughtered several Great Qin Empire cities, and ultimately even led to the tragic death of the pivotal figure, the Small Sword Immortal; logically speaking, the Willow God should have reacted.

But until now, Jiang Che noted that the Willow God remained inactive.

Frowning, a flash of insight sparked in Jiang Che's mind, widening his eyes.

Could it be that in the last great battle, the Willow God also sustained considerable injuries?

So even with the Great Qin Empire's situation in such turmoil, the Willow God is still unable to take action?
