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

"The sky is the color of rain and mist, and I am waiting for you. The moonlight is scooped up, across thousands of miles of river." Chen Futu was in a good mood and began to sing. The Crown Princess in his arms immediately bit her red lips in disgust, "Your Majesty sings so badly."

"Don't you think it's very fitting for the occasion, my dear consort?"

"Is the King coming or not?"

"Come on, continue."

"ah--"

Springtime beauty still graced the Eastern Palace, while the commotion from the Azure Lotus Sword Song erupting in the Southern City was not only visible from the Eastern Palace but also from the Golden Hall.

The crown prince led his ministers out of the main hall. They stared blankly as the lotus phantom gradually disappeared. The weather near the southern city was even altered, with the misty blue rain breathtakingly beautiful yet chilling upon closer inspection.

On the battlefield in the south, the towers and pavilions were reduced to ruins by Qinglian. After the dust settled, Wushe stood there covered in blood, swaying unsteadily. His Vajra Boy Skill had been broken. Wuchen was in no better shape. He used his whisk to tap the ground to keep from falling.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this? Let's get out of here!"

Wuchen dared not fight any longer and disappeared in a few leaps. Wushe naturally did not dare to stay any longer either. He covered his chest, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and also slipped away.

Li Taibai shook the empty gourd and sighed, "How boring, that's it. Oh well, the king only ordered me to protect the caravan, not to kill them, so I'm too lazy to chase after them."

He leaped and sat on the roof of the carriage.

Liu Longyue, Ge Fei, and the others didn't dare to breathe loudly when they saw him.

When they first heard this guy call himself a sword immortal, they thought it was a bit exaggerated. But now it seems that it's not just exaggerated, it's downright outrageous. What grandmaster could take sword energy into form and break the famous Vajra Child Skill in one move?

It seems that there are also differences in strength among Grandmasters. Li Taibai, Qingyi, and Ake are the top Grandmasters, the kind who can look down on the world. Qiwen, Wushe, and that Niubizi are relatively weaker among the Grandmasters, and are not on the same level at all.

Qi Wen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Taibai and said with a complicated expression, "Young friend, you are simply a celestial being. I am truly impressed."

Li Taibai shook his wine gourd. "Old sir, if you have any good wine, I can certainly offer you some pointers."

"Yes, yes."

Qi Wen quickly handed over his wine gourd, appearing extremely respectful.

Li Taibai grabbed the gourd and drank heartily. "Good. After you're done with this, come find me when you have some free time."

"Thank you, sir."

Qi Wen was overjoyed. He had grasped seven or eight parts of the Sword Saint's insights before setting off from Dragon City, but unfortunately he hadn't fully integrated them. Otherwise, he would have already dealt with Wu She and Niu Bizi. Now, he could easily defeat two or three of his former self.

With Li Taibai and Qi Wen in charge, the Daqian soldiers at the front dared not obstruct them anymore.

When a powerful expert of this caliber unleashes his might, it is far beyond their ability to stop; they would only lose their lives in vain.

The caravan successfully exited through the south gate.

Meanwhile, Chen Futu in the Eastern Palace had also finished the battle. He looked at the snow-white body lying sprawled on the table and raised an eyebrow, saying, "My beloved concubine, rest early. I will have someone send your brother to a safe place later, and you can find an opportunity to see her."

The Crown Princess rose and nestled close to his chest, raising her elegant and gentle face as she murmured, "Is His Majesty leaving already?"

"Otherwise, what else do you want?" Chen Futu teased, stroking her smooth chin.

"Go if you want to leave. I've remembered what Your Majesty said. I will help you contact those powerful families. But Your Majesty must not forget your promise to me. When you return to the capital, I will serve you again."

"I have always kept my word. If you stay in the palace, I will never neglect you. If you want to leave the palace, I will agree. I will never confine you in a cage."

"With Your Majesty's words, I am content."

The Crown Princess has now completely lost hope in the Crown Prince. As a woman, she has no choice in her own life. Chen Futu's promise at least gives her another option. This is what makes Chen Futu different from other princes and nobles. He is exceptionally tolerant and considerate towards his women and doesn't care about so-called rules.

Before leaving, Chen Futu tenderly hugged her for a while until he escorted her back to her bed. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he took out the Desert Eagle and placed it in her hand, explaining its uses and effects.

The Crown Princess's large, watery eyes widened suddenly. "Such a weapon of mass destruction, Your Majesty actually intends to give it to me?"

"While I am away, you must protect yourself. If anyone in the harem dares to bully you, find an opportunity to secretly kill her. I guarantee that you will kill her without leaving a trace. Of course, you can also use it to kill the Crown Prince. Whatever you do, even if you want to become the Empress, I will support you."

These gentle words made the Crown Princess blink involuntarily. "How could I have such courage? But Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take good care of my body and will not easily let the Crown Prince touch me again."

"What are you saying?! If he touches you, you bastard shoot him, you hear me?"

Chen Futu deliberately put on a stern face and said.

The Crown Princess chuckled, "He is still my husband, after all. The King is being far too domineering. At worst, I'll negotiate with him and give up that position so I can live alone in the palace from now on. I think he'll agree."

"Then I'll have to trouble you. In two or three years, I'll come to kill you."

"By the way, does Your Majesty know my name?" The Crown Princess carefully put away the Desert Eagle and asked abruptly.

Chen Futu was extremely embarrassed. He had already finished the deed and still didn't know her name. He was a bit of a jerk.

"Your Majesty, please remember that when I was young, I was called Liang Xuan'er. After that, there was no Crown Princess in the world."

"Alright, Xuan'er, I've got it."

Chen Futu lowered his head and kissed her forehead before finally turning and leaving.

The once grand Eastern Palace has become deserted and quiet again.

Liang Xuan'er took out the Desert Eagle and hugged it tightly to her soft chest, her eyes gradually hardening. "Can't I live without a man? Whether it's the Crown Prince or the King of the Northern Frontier, I don't want to be a plaything. I want to go further. Those who toy with me, all of you, die..."

On the roof of the East Palace, Chen Futu clutched his waist and leaned on Ake's back.

Ake said quietly, "You shouldn't have given her the Desert Eagle. That woman has a wild streak in her bones and is not easy to control."

Chen Futu subconsciously glanced at the favorability interface, which showed that Liang Xuan'er's favorability was 0.

Damn, she was so cooperative just now, how come she only has 0% favorability!

Ding!

[The host has been detected altering the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty, causing unspeakable variables in the future.]

[The host is rewarded with a Soul Hunter pistol with a 100-round magazine, produced by the system. This pistol can penetrate protective qi and effectively kill Grandmasters.]

"System, awesome."

Ding!

[The character in blue has been severely injured. Please make a choice.]

"You've got it wrong, that's Qingyi, how could she be injured!"

[Wugensheng of the Vast Ocean, in collusion with the Western Region Dharma King and a group of powerful figures, besieged Zhongnan Mountain and stole the Zhongnan Mountain's most precious treasure, the Heavenly Ruler.]

"Damn it, Wugensheng has a death wish! Does he really think I, the King of the Northern Frontier, am just a sitting duck!"
