After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

The Grand Wizard's strength is at the Grandmaster level. Now that An Jingsi is not by his side, even if Chen Futu goes all out, he cannot defeat her.

However, I doubt she would dare to make a move.

The quiet private room was free from the hustle and bustle outside.

Ignoring the Grand Wizard's murderous glare, Chen Futu leisurely poured himself a cup of wine and savored it.

The high priest said in a hoarse voice, "Young master, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"You?" Chen Futu sneered, shaking his wine cup, then spread his arms wide and said quite brazenly, "Come on, kill me."

The great wizard froze on the spot.

She was a grandmaster-level expert, a figure who inspired fear in all who heard of her. Back in the Northern Martial Kingdom, not only the entire court of civil and military officials, but even the Emperor of the Northern Martial Kingdom would tremble at the sight of her. Yet this young man before her completely disregarded her grandmaster-level aura.

Chen Futu said dismissively, "If the Great Wizard wanted to kill me, he could do it with a flick of his finger. Why won't he? Let me guess... Oh, you're afraid of me."

"What did you say?"

The high wizard was furious and suddenly waved his sleeve. Instantly, a cold wind swept through the private room. Chen Futu squinted at the domineering aura and coughed, "Don't make a fuss. I'm timid, and if you accidentally hurt me, the consequences will be very serious."

"Do you think I care about the lives of this delegation?"

The great wizard's heterochromatic eyes were devoid of any emotion.

Chen Futu said in a serious tone, "I believe the Great Wizard doesn't care about the lives of those Tom, Dick, and Harry, but don't forget what your purpose is. If you want to talk, I can talk to you, but if you come here to show off your power, then don't bother coming back."

Chen Futu was not afraid at all.

What great wizards, what grandmasters, it's all bullshit!

On his own turf, how could he be threatened?

As expected, the Grand Wizard's chilling aura vanished upon hearing this, and he questioned, "Why did you attack Yemo, deliberately humiliating the reputation of my Northern Martial Sect?"

"That vicious and cruel playboy came to the Northern Frontier to act arrogantly towards me and even tried to harm my Crown Prince's consort. Does the Grand Wizard think I'm made of dough? I've already given the Grand Wizard enough face by not killing him."

“He is certainly wrong, but the Crown Prince should have a better solution than to put Bei Wu in an awkward position. Do you know that doing so will lead to an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides?”

"Great Wizard, Great Wizard, are you too naive or too foolish? Do you really think that my marriage alliance with you is to fight against the Great Qian together? Right now, all I need is for the Northern Martial Army to stand up for me. And by handing over the princess, you are only barely qualified to form an alliance with me. Militarily, I don't need your assistance at all. So, isn't it ridiculous that you bring up those high-sounding reasons to bolster your trip? Unless you offer me something that will tempt me, then you will have the right to lecture me."

Chen Futu spoke very rudely.

He sought support from Bei Wu because he was concerned about public criticism. In fact, with Bei Jiang's current strength, he could completely ignore the condemnation and forcefully succeed to the throne as the King of Bei Jiang.

In Chen Futu's view, Liu Longyue was far from enough to secure cooperation with Northern Xinjiang.

These words silenced the great wizard.

She then realized that this young prince was not easy to deal with at all. His strength far surpassed that of the former Prince of Zhenbei and the monarchs of various major powers. This was because Chen Futu had enough confidence and strength to despise everything.

The high priest remained silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice: "Yemo provoked us first, so let's drop this matter. I hope the prince will not add fuel to the fire and continue to tarnish the reputation of Beiwu."

"You think you can just stop like that? What do you take me for? I'm going to ruin Yemo's reputation and make Beiwu pay for his past actions." Chen Futu slammed down his wine cup, his eyes gradually turning cold.

The high priest stood up abruptly, "Young master, don't push your luck."

"If we're talking about bullying, you started it first. Have you forgotten that Liu Longyue schemed against me in Daqian, and I haven't even settled that score with Beiwu yet? Now Yemo is provoking me again. Do you think I, the young master, wouldn't dare to retaliate?"

Chen Futu also stood up and met the Great Wizard's gaze, his eyes filled with disdain.

The high priestess suddenly clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking as she suppressed her anger.

Chen Futu scoffed, "If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, An Jingsi and the other generals will slaughter you all, including Liu Longyue."

"you……"

"Let me guess, you have a connection with Liu Longyue, otherwise you wouldn't have traveled all the way to Longcheng, or perhaps you have a connection with her deceased mother."

"What will it take for the young master to let this matter go? If the young master stops stirring things up, I can grant you one request."

The Grand Wizard's attitude eventually softened; dealing with a powerful monarch like Chen Futu, being more forceful would only backfire.

Chen Futu left his seat and came before the high priestess, looking her up and down with amusement before whispering in her ear, "Let me see your face..."

"What!" The great wizard recoiled in shock and anger, instinctively covering his bronze demon mask.

Chen Futu curled the corners of his mouth, a slightly wicked look appearing on his handsome face. "I am really curious about what a Grandmaster-level woman looks like. Why don't you satisfy my little curiosity, Great Wizard?"

"impossible!"

The high priestess refused decisively; even her snow-white fingers, covering her mask, trembled. This request touched upon her taboo.

Chen Futu raised an eyebrow and said, "If that's the case, then I'll make another request. I have buried several million taels in the peach blossom forest. You need to take some men and bring that money out for me."

"Peach blossom grove?"

Upon hearing this name, the great wizard's heterochromatic eyes visibly trembled.

Chen Futu sneered, "That's right, it's the legendary Peach Blossom Forest where a supreme expert is said to be stationed. Speaking of which, the one inside has a grudge against me. When I passed through the Peach Blossom Forest on my way out of the capital, he killed one of my scouts. I said that one day I would avenge my soldiers."

"You're willing to offend a supreme expert just because of a mere scout? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I am the commander-in-chief. He killed my men right in front of me. What does he take me for? I will avenge this sooner or later. Now that the high priest is here, why don't you go in my place? If you can kill that guy and bring me his head, I promise to immediately send troops to the eastern pass to help you attack Daqian from both sides. In that case, your road to the south will be clear. What do you say?"

Chen Futu's bait was "very sincere." The High Priest clenched her fist repeatedly, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Legend has it that that person's strength is suspected to be that of a Grandmaster. Do you know what a Grandmaster means? There are no more than one hand's worth of Grandmasters in the entire world."

"What does this have to do with me? I'm just asking you whether you'll accept it or not. If you don't, I'll have Mr. Qingtian publish the story about Yemo in the newspaper and let the world see what kind of despicable people you Northern envoys are."

"Shameless..."

The great wizard laughed in exasperation.

She came here to threaten Chen Futu, but she ended up being threatened instead, and now it seems she has no chance to refuse.
