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

"Who are you, daring to make a move in the capital!" Dian Wei brandished his twin halberds, glaring angrily at the fierce army that had stormed into the mansion.

"Hmph! I am the Prince of Xin, here to slay you barbarian thieves from the Western Regions and avenge my Great Qian Erlang."

Prince Xin is good at making a big show of things. He has never been one to suffer a loss. He often exterminates entire families, especially in his fiefdom. He kills people without hesitation and treats human life as worthless. The people regard his Prince Xin's mansion as a hell palace. Even now, back in the capital, he has not restrained himself, simply because he is a prince.

Dian Wei brandished his twin halberds and roared, "You dare to mobilize troops in the capital as a prince? Are you trying to rebel?!"

"Ha! Rebellion? The whole world belongs to me! You say I want to rebel? It's you uncivilized barbarians who are going to rebel!"

After saying this, Prince Xin waved his hand, and immediately his personal guards brought him a chair to sit down.

"Begin. Kill everyone except those women."

"kill--"

At the command, the battle began.

Dian Wei, wielding two halberds, was like a tiger among sheep, instantly slaughtering countless heads.

The Tiger Guards, lurking in the shadows, charged in with their scimitars, and a fierce battle ensued.

The Tiger Guards are very strong, but the Prince's personal guards are also elite. One Tiger Guard can hold off two or three, but if the enemy has more people, the Tiger Guards can only fight back to back.

With Consort Ge guarding the door and Liu Longyue assisting, they were able to hold them off.

Like Dian Wei, neither of them laid a hand on Prince Xin, even though he sat there like a sitting duck.

Taking action against Prince Xin is different, so even if one is furious, one can only retaliate passively and cannot take the initiative to kill the culprit.

Prince Xin knew this, so he was fearless and even watched the heads roll around while he happily stuffed grapes into his mouth, as if he were watching a gladiatorial contest.

The red-robed grand eunuch, holding a whisk, stood indifferently under the shade of the tree, watching this scene unfold.

No one knew when he arrived, and he didn't stop him immediately because the Crown Prince hadn't arrived yet.

His task was simply to beat up Prince Xin; nothing else mattered to him. Soon, his gaze fell upon Dian Wei.

Because Dian Wei is too powerful. The combat strength that Dian Wei is showing now is far more than the peak of the Innate Realm. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he can cripple a Grandmaster with a single swing of his halberd.

On the other side, Chen Futu and Qiwen finally got their chance. The battle at the distant mansion alerted the city guards and the hundred armored soldiers guarding Zhou Qingzhi's remains.

Eighty of the hundred men were divided up, with twenty remaining to guard the perimeter and the rest to stand guard around the area.

Qiwen said to Chen Futu, "Your Majesty, I will go and take the corpse; the rest is yours."

"Do it!"

Chen Futu unleashed his full fighting power, leaping down the mountain like a tiger, and with a single sword strike, he cleaved two guards in half at the waist, instantly throwing the surrounding area into chaos.

Qi Wen appeared directly on the top of the city gate tower, swung his sword to cut the ropes, pulled up the mutilated corpse, and tied it to his back.

"They're trying to take the body! Stop them immediately!"

The guards went mad, each one fearless of death.

Chen Futu unleashed his Great Grade Sword Technique, instantly killing five people, while Qi Wen vanished in a flash.

"Come on!"

"If you want to pursue me, you'll have to get past me first."

Chen Futu brandished his sword again, holding the line single-handedly to buy time for Qi Wen. Qi Wen then vanished without a trace in a few leaps.

Then powerful figures arrived. The two commanders wielded incredibly strong swords, and Chen Futu, relying on his Martial God Body, managed to withstand one of their attacks. "Two ninth-rank experts, not bad. It seems they were prepared and knew someone was coming to plunder the corpses."

"You damned bastard, why aren't you surrendering yet!"

"I won't play with you anymore."

Chen Futu drew his sword to leave the street, but suddenly many soldiers rushed out from the side and surrounded the street from both the front and back.

One of the commanders sneered, "Boy, where do you think you're going? This place is a trap; you won't escape tonight."

The surrounding rooms all had secret passages, hiding many people. At this moment, people were pouring out one after another, and countless arrows were even aimed at Chen Futu's head.

Chen Futu sneered, "No wonder he's a dog emperor. Instead of governing the people properly, he's focused all his attention on this place."

"Boy, you've run out of options, why don't you put down your weapon!"

"You think you can kill me? You must be dreaming."

Chen Futu snapped his fingers. "Ake, retreat."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure appeared behind them. She grabbed Chen Futu and leaped to the rooftop, which was more than ten meters high.

The soldiers below were dumbfounded. "What kind of monster is that?!"

Chen Futu, hands behind his back, looked down with a grin at the restless commanders and the densely packed armored soldiers below. "Gentlemen, there's no need to see me off. My mission is complete, and I will depart tonight."

Chen Futu leaped into the air, landing headfirst backwards, making a great show of himself.

However, before he could land, he was caught by Ake around the waist and put on her back. She landed with a thud, stirring up a sharp gust of wind, and then, carrying Chen Futu, she moved through the alley like a black lightning bolt.

Chen Futu held her tightly, almost shaking her out her leftover dinner. "Can you slow down a bit?"

Ake replied quietly, "Why must Your Majesty come in person? I can complete the task by myself."

"Ahem, I did promise to come and collect the body myself."

Chen Futu wouldn't say that this was a task given by the system, otherwise why would he have made the trip himself?

With Ake leading the way, the commanders and soldiers were like headless flies, running around aimlessly. In the end, Chen Futu was led by Ake to a secluded courtyard.

This is one of Liu Longyue's intelligence agency's outposts.

Qiwen handed the body over to them, and they would be responsible for transporting it out of the city and sending it to Zhongshan.

Afterwards, Chen Futu and Qiwen asked for clothes to change into.

After doing all that, Chen Futu and Qiwen quickly returned to the mansion, but Ake had disappeared again. Chen Futu didn't bother with her, but to be honest, Ake was really big. When she was being carried on her back earlier, he had grabbed her twice without realizing it. In any case, he couldn't hold her in one hand. She was about the same size as Liu Longyue.

Only he, as her master, could touch Ake's private parts; otherwise, anyone else would have been scratched by the Moon Blade long ago.

On the way, Chen Futu was led by Qiwen to secretly move between rooftops, avoiding the armored soldiers.

Otherwise, if the two of them were together, it would be obvious that it was them without even having to guess.

Back near the mansion, Chen Futu was about to rush in when Qi Wen quickly stopped him, thinking to himself, "We can't go in. That eunuch in red is a Grandmaster."

"you know?"

“That’s right. He was once the famous Red Moon Ancestor in the martial arts world. He practiced the Vajra Child Skill and was extremely powerful. Moreover, if the two of us sneaked in, it would attract his attention and inevitably lead him to associate us with the corpse thieves.”

Qi Wen was very alert, and his eyes showed a hint of fear as he looked at the red-clad eunuch.

After a moment's thought, Chen Futu had no choice but to give up. In any case, since the eunuch didn't make a move, Dian Wei alone had already slaughtered through the personal guards of Prince Xin's mansion.

Suddenly, another group of people arrived in the distance, and Qiwen pulled Chen Futu to hide in the shadows.

Upon closer inspection, it was the Crown Prince himself, riding a tall horse and accompanied by imperial guards.
