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

[A supreme being has been detected. Host, please be aware of your safety.]

The system's notifications always come so promptly.

Chen Futu asked inwardly, "What is her cultivation level?"

No comment.

"Okay, can you sell me a trial card?"

[Host's current situation detected; system initiates a limited-time shopping event]

[Sword Saint Gai Nie Trial Card, Price: 20 Million Taels]

[Sword Saint Wang Yue Trial Card, Price: 20 Million Taels]

[Trial card for Sword Immortal Li Taibai, priced at 25 million taels]

[Gun King Tong Yuan Trial Card, Priced at 20 Million Taels]

……

"What the hell do you take me for? A rich landlord? And Li Bai? Does he even know the Green Lotus Sword Song?"

[The national treasury has been found to contain 25 million taels of silver. Would you like to redeem a trial card for the Sword Immortal Li Taibai?]

"Get out, get out of here! Those are reserves collected by merchants to develop the northern frontier. Don't even think about taking them!"

How could Chen Futu possibly spend tens of millions to exchange for a one-day trial card? That would be too extravagant. Even if he died at Qingyi's hands today, the system wouldn't be able to get a single penny from him.

If the host encounters danger and the national treasury happens to have enough funds, the system will automatically redeem the funds for the host and activate the system immediately.

The system is actually engaging in forced buying and selling; it's like a robbery!

Just as one person was struggling to unify the limits, Qingyi and the sword attendant had already come downstairs. As she went out, she glanced at this side intentionally or unintentionally. It was that faint look in her eyes that made Chen Futu's hair stand on end.

Is this the legendary ability to kill with a single glance?

It was too sharp, like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Chen Futu almost fell into it. It was only when Qiwen called out from the side that Chen Futu reacted and found that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous."

Chen Futu has gained new insights into this low-level martial arts world today.

"Let's go and catch up and see."

Perhaps driven by curiosity, Chen Futu, along with Qi Wen, inexplicably chased after the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

The two women, dressed in green and her servant, seemed to be wandering aimlessly through the streets of Dragon City. She was like a little girl, finding everything fascinating and wanting to touch it, while the female swordswoman followed behind her, carrying her sword.

This strange combination attracted a lot of attention, especially since the woman in green was exceptionally beautiful. Some people couldn't help but stare at her for too long. The female swordswoman noticed this and immediately drew her sword.

Before Chen Futu even saw her draw her sword, a lock of a man's hair was instantly cut off and floated in the air. The man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, soiling himself and causing a commotion in the street.

The female swordswoman glanced at him sideways and said, "If you can't control your eyes, I'll gouge them out."

Qi Wen whispered, "Your Highness, this female sword attendant actually possesses the early stage of the Grandmaster level."

"too exaggerated."

Chen Futu clicked his tongue repeatedly. He was only at the peak of the ninth rank. Let alone a grandmaster, he didn't even know when he could enter the innate realm.

And so the two continued to follow the master and servant, and soon they arrived at a secluded lakeside.

As Consort Ge pulled up in front, the old lady and Liu Longyue got out of the car.

Chen Futu was taken aback. "Why is my mother here!"

Qi Wen pondered and said, "It seems that the old lady had a premonition that Qingyi would come as the grand ceremony of the young master was approaching, so she arranged for people to keep an eye on the four gates. Now she came to see Qingyi because she was worried that she would harm the young master. After all, the young master is the child of the old lady and the old master, not her."

"She wouldn't do anything to my mother, would she?"

Chen Futu's hands were sweating with worry.

Qi Wen smiled wryly and said, "I don't know, but if she really wanted to make a move, she would have done so when the old master passed away. There was no need to wait until now."

As they spoke, the old lady and the woman in green stood face to face.

The old lady looked at the woman in green and smiled, "It's been many years, and you haven't changed a bit."

"Yes, it's been so many years, and you're still as gentle as ever. You said you would stay with him for life, but what happened? He died, and you're still alive. Why don't you just die?" Qingyi said with a sneer.

Consort Ge was furious upon hearing this, "How dare you disrespect the old lady!"

Qingyi glanced at Ge Fei and raised an eyebrow at the old lady: "If you can't control your own dog, I'll help you out. I'll kill it and bury it."

These words, once spoken, were filled with murderous intent.

Startled, Liu Longyue quickly covered her mouth and took several steps back.

She could sense just how strong this woman in green was; she was far more powerful than Qi Wen. Even the slightest hint of killing intent emanating from her made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The old lady shook her head and said, "You don't need to be angry with the servants. My son is still alive, and the great revenge has not been avenged. How dare I die so easily?"

"That's why I've always looked down on you. What a well-bred lady, what a daughter of a military family! You've been dragging your feet on avenging your husband until now without taking any action. You're utterly useless. If it were me, I would kill anyone who dared to touch my husband, leaving no descendants."

Qingyi's words were extremely domineering, but she did indeed have the power to back them up.

Just as Qiwen could single-handedly storm the grassland royal court to avenge his family, with Qingyi's strength, if she really got into a fight, she could probably slaughter the entire royal bloodline of a country.

The old lady smiled and said, "So you are not suitable for him. You have committed too many killings. Back then, you fought alongside him on the battlefield. Even when the enemy surrendered, you still raised your sword to hone your swordsmanship. You probably forgot how many innocent people you killed."

"Innocent? In a war between two countries, how can there be innocence? I admire your son for that. He is more ruthless than me. He slaughtered tens of thousands of people with a single move. Speaking of which, the son he raised is just like me, which means that he still approves of me in his heart. Why don't you give your son to me, and I will assist him in pacifying the world? What do you say?"

"Qingyi, are you tired of staying in the deep mountains and forests and want to become the Empress Dowager?"

"So what if it is? That was originally mine, and you stole it from me using underhanded means!"

The woman in green and the old lady refused to give in to each other.

Chen Futu and Qiwen were both stunned. So this was the grudge of the previous generation?

This is terrifying! The people involved are all dead, and these two are still fighting!

Liu Longyue naturally noticed something amiss and obediently stayed by Ge Fei's side, not daring to speak.

Suddenly, the woman in green leaned close to the old lady's ear and whispered something. The old lady was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage and slapped her across the face!

With a snap, the woman in green blocked the blow, her cold face filled with mockery. Then she grabbed the old lady by the neck and said, "He's gone, and you still dare to lay a hand on me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"You've become obsessed. Leave Dragon City..."

"court death."

The woman in green lifted the old lady up.

"Qingyi! Let go of my mother!"

"Release the old lady—"

Chen Futu, Ge Fei, and Liu Longyue were immediately shocked and rushed over together. Seeing this, Qi Wen steeled his heart and followed in Chen Futu's footsteps, drawing his Qingping Sword.
