Simultaneously transmigrating, I, with my extraordinary talent, relied entirely on myself.

Of course, the situation has improved slightly during this period.

Not long ago, a mysterious assassin appeared in the surrounding cities. He took pleasure in torturing and killing those unruly nobles and officials, enjoying hearing their cries of despair and fear.

When the bodies were discovered the next day, their deaths were extremely gruesome, their faces contorted in agony, indicating they had endured inhuman torture before their deaths.

Even though troops and experts from the Imperial Fist Temple were dispatched to pursue them, they suffered heavy casualties before even seeing the enemy's face.

This scene is even more frightening and terrifying.

For a time, nobles and officials were all on edge, no longer daring to make a big show of things as they had in the past, for fear of being noticed.

Even the prefect became much more restrained, quickly reducing taxes by half and ceasing to arrest people for amusement, seemingly in fear of this mysterious assassin.

Therefore, the surrounding villages were given a chance to catch their breath.

This mysterious assassin is known as Yama, symbolizing the power to control life and death.

"Don't look so sad. We'll meet again when we come to the capital next year."

Yalin patted the three little ones' heads to comfort them, then strode away.

The governor of this region was originally a close associate of the minister, and he was temporarily put in charge by signing a contract with him.

Once everything has settled after the trip to the capital, the other party will confess to their past crimes and eventually voluntarily go to the gallows.

It has to be said that the talent for contracts is truly outrageous. Even a person who is utterly wicked can, after signing a contract, defy their will and "turn over a new leaf".

......

After leaving the icy border, Yalin headed towards the capital.

If he encountered something he couldn't stand on the road, he would draw his three-foot sword and kill all those who displeased him, eradicate all injustices, and turn the local governor who was causing chaos into a puppet.

Although it only addresses the symptoms, it's sufficient for the time being.

As they traveled along this route, the name of Yama was no longer confined to one region; it spread far and wide from the north, and the mere mention of his name could stop a child from crying.

It even alarmed the empire and the revolutionary army.

Needless to say, the empire naturally wanted to eliminate this destabilizing factor.

Yalin's actions were mostly directed at the ministers' faction, which seriously affected his interests.

The Revolutionary Army, on the other hand, wanted to contact Yalin and invite this powerful figure to join the resistance against the Empire.

By this time, the revolutionary army had grown stronger and was gradually baring its sharp fangs at the empire, preparing to overthrow this corrupt country.

However, as its power grows, the people it recruits will become increasingly diverse and unpredictable, inevitably leading to some negative consequences, which are not yet apparent. But one day they will inevitably cause a major problem.

Observing Yanluo's movements, both sides discovered that his next destination was Qiaoluoke, a city with abundant underground resources.

It is also the headquarters of the Way of Peace and Tranquility, and the largest religious organization in the empire. Its doctrine is that doing more good deeds will bring longevity and happiness.

The leader of the Path of Tranquility is a hybrid of a dangerous species and a human, and is born with the ability to heal wounds and foresee the future, and can see through people's hearts.

Why would Yama choose the Path of Peace?

The Empire and the Revolutionary Army kept guessing about his intentions, but that didn't stop them from sending their forces to gather here, determined to kill (invite) Yama.

......

"The city has a good overall spirit."

Yalin strolled along the streets of Qiaoluoke, observing the strangely dressed crowd at a leisurely pace.

Compared to the numbness and despair in the capital and the heavy taxes on the border, the people here are undoubtedly in a much better state.

Is it because of abundant resources? Or is it because that cult leader has genuinely good personal charisma?

However, Yalin was not interested in religion, and his visit was also a side project to resolve the issue of Anning Road.

This force is not very powerful, but it is extremely inflammatory, and if left unchecked, it will cause future troubles.

As for how to handle it specifically, a decision can only be made after meeting with that cult leader.

He headed straight into the city, attracting the attention of many interested people.

Even without unlocking his talent, his handsome appearance and poised demeanor are still quite unique.

Before long, a well-built believer with a mysterious veil came over and invited him to join the Path of Peace, her tone filled with hope.

Yalin smiled and agreed, following the believers to the church. This charm was quite effective in ordinary times, allowing him to get close to the heart of the problem immediately.

The believers were delighted, but not surprised.

No one can stop the healing miracles brought about by the cult leader. Many people have become devoted followers of the cult leader after being cured of their illnesses.

When Yalin entered the church, he did not see the mixed-race priest.

The man sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a good appearance and a solemn expression.

Yalin narrowed his eyes, recalling the information about the other party.

This man, named Berkeley, was the cult leader's assistant, deeply trusted by him, and handled the cult's daily affairs. He was also a spy sent by the minister to Anning Road to infiltrate and control the cult.

Under his influence, the entire cult became corrupt and chaotic, and many people were ruined and destroyed, yet they still enjoyed it.

"You want to join the Path of Tranquility?"

Berkeley glanced at Yalin casually, assessing his value. Then, a look of surprise crossed his face, and a hint of delight appeared in his eyes.

As a close associate of the minister, he had long heard of the fugitive prince Yalin and had even seen his portrait.

Even though three months have passed and the other person has grown a lot, they still vaguely retain the shadow of the past.

After the Rakshasa Four Demons' defeat, the minister was furious. He was particularly displeased with the escape of Prince Yalin, a minister who had always held absolute power.

Berkeley never expected that the other party would actually come to them on their own initiative.

If Yalin is captured, the minister will surely reward him handsomely.

Berkeley's mind raced, a sinister smile spreading across his face. He pressed his fingertips against the ridge of the throne, secretly summoning his ultimate trump card, the Teigu user, Holimaka.

"Isn't that cult leader here? What a pity."

Yalin noticed his movements, sighed, and walked towards the main seat.

During the incident, some believers tried to rush over to stop them, but were blocked by an invisible wave of energy.

Holimaca, who rushed over, saw this and hurriedly swung his scythe at them, but to no avail.

Berkeley's smile vanished instantly upon seeing this; the situation was not what he had expected.

What kind of sorcery did this prince use?

As Yalin's figure drew ever closer, Berkeley couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

He's quite skilled at playing with women, but when it comes to fighting ability, forget about it.

"Don't come any closer!" ⊙迩仪陕0 （八>）陾

He warned in a trembling voice, then got up and tried to run away.

puff!

With a swing of the longsword, blood spurted from his throat, and Berkeley collapsed onto the throne.

"Why insist on courting death?"

A wisp of flame appeared at Yalin's fingertip, burning the corpse to ashes.

Then, looking at Holimaca, he bound Holimaca's body with a gust of wind amidst Holimaca's terrified expression, and then cut him in two with a single stroke.

Picking up the Imperial Arm Adairus, he departed amidst the fearful gazes of his followers.

......

"That Yama appeared in the Holy Temple, killed the Vice-Chancellor Berkeley, and finally left openly and legitimately."

This method of killing, unlike any before, also revealed Yama's exact appearance and physique.

In the dense forest outside Jorlock, Night Raid, the newly formed assassination organization of the Revolutionary Army, gathered to discuss the intelligence they had just obtained.

The white-haired, one-eyed boss, Najendan, took a puff of his cigarette and thought that this fellow traveler was far too reckless. Wasn't he afraid of being besieged by the Empire?

Even the revolutionary army could only develop in secret and dared not expose itself directly to the empire.

Of course, the revolutionary army had a bad run of luck during this period. For some reason, they were regarded as a thorn in the side by the ministers, and their growing power had to be withdrawn.

That is precisely why they urgently need Yama, their powerful ally.

The strength the other side has demonstrated along the way makes them worthy of being courted.

In addition, the empire has dispatched three beast warriors and three Rakshasa demons to this place, and attaches great importance to it.

Even Esdeath, the strongest in the empire, will come in person, at which point Yama will have no chance of survival.

No one knew the terror of that sadistic general better than Najenda, a former general of the Empire.

This is an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat head-on.

Therefore, before this mission, she specifically checked the Revolutionary Army's inventory.

Establishing a connection with the biological form of the Imperial Arm Susanoo greatly enhances Night Raid's strength.

"Next, Lubbock and Leone go to Cholock to scout. Once they find Yama, notify us immediately and make sure we don't engage in conflict," she ordered.

Lubbock is a green-haired youth who was originally the fourth son of a wealthy merchant. He wields the linear Imperial Arm Cross Tail, which can change shape according to its master's will.

Leone is a voluptuous blonde mature woman who has lived in the slums of the capital since childhood. She possesses a belt-type Noble Phantasm that allows her to transform and enhance all aspects of her physical abilities.

The two nodded and accepted the task, while also feeling curious about this Yama.

Such a blatant provocation against the empire, putting everything else aside, is quite audacious.

"Besides you, there is another member of the Revolutionary Army on a mission in Jolock. She will contact you later."

“Red Eyes, Mine, and Brand accompanied me to see the leader of the Anning Path and formed an alliance with him.”

Najendan looked at the members of the night raid and assigned them tasks.

After Berkeley's death, the greatest obstacle within Annihilation Drive disappeared.

Given that cult leader's personality, he wouldn't refuse their invitation to revolt.

.....

With Yalin's arrival, Jolock immediately unleashed a bloody storm.
