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

"Old man, you can also calculate when you'll die." Ake drew her moon blade and played with it.

The old beggar's hand trembled.

He knew that, for some reason, this woman might kill him.

Gulu!

The tortoise shell fell onto the stall.

The old beggar examined it closely, a look of astonishment on his face. Then he rubbed his single eye frantically, muttering, "How could this be..."

Chen Futu asked in surprise, "Old sir, is there a result?"

"To be honest, according to the divination, your guard has only seven days left to live."

Upon hearing this, Chen Futu was shocked. Was this old Deng a little too awesome?

It is said that Liu Bowen could foresee the next 600 years, but Liu Bowen's calculations were actually based on historical trends. The old man in front of us can actually calculate the exact time when Ake existed.

Liu Longyue scolded, "Old man, what nonsense are you talking about? How could she die!"

Even if surrounded by Grandmasters, Ake can escape safely and will never die.

"How could the Seven Killings Star die? It's incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible."

The old beggar muttered to himself. In his opinion, Ake's strength was definitely among the top in the world. It was unlikely that such a person could be killed. Even if her appearance might be related to Zhongnan Mountain, it wouldn't be life-threatening. However, the divination showed that she would cease to exist in seven days, which was actually the opposite of the divination.

Thinking of this, the old beggar cast another divination. Upon seeing the result, he was so shocked that he stood up and exclaimed, "Not knowing where we came from, not knowing where we are going, this is utterly absurd!"

He could not predict Ake's past and future, only up to seven days; any further calculations would be nothing more than illusory divination and fate.

Ake sheathed her moon blade and said calmly, "You're not bad, you have some strength."

After saying this, Ake retreated behind Chen Futu.

Liu Longyue and the old beggar were both dumbfounded. Did she mean that she had calculated correctly?

Chen Futu finally became interested, sat down in front of the stall, and stretched out his hand, "In that case, sir, please help me with my fortune telling."

The old beggar withdrew his shocked gaze from Ake and carefully examined Chen Futu's face and palm lines, staring wide-eyed at the last one.

Chen Futu asked, puzzled, "Old sir, what's wrong with me?"

"Wait a moment, my friend."

The old beggar immediately cast a divination, and suddenly a system voice sounded in Chen Futu's mind.

Ding!

[Someone has been detected speculating on the host's fate; the system is retaliating.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the old beggar suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his eyes and screaming, "My eyes!"

He was attacked by the system and no longer cared about telling Chen Futu's fortune. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grabbed the carpet, wrapped his things, and ran away.

Chen Futu smiled and said, "Old sir, don't you need your stool anymore?"

"I don't want it anymore, you can have it!"

The old man ran incredibly fast, as if he had seen a ghost.

After hiding in a street corner, he was patted on the shoulder by a beautiful woman in black. The old man was so frightened that he almost screamed. When he saw the woman's face, he complained, "Master, you scared this old man to death."

The beautiful woman said strangely, "You old man, weren't you going to make money to find girls on my pleasure boat? How come you're injured?"

"Don't even mention it, I just encountered something terrifying."

"The Great Terror?"

"I, Tianjizi, have seen countless people in my life, but this is the first time I have seen such a bizarre divination. I have a premonition that if I continue to deduce it, I will be devoured and die."

The old beggar was panting heavily and sighing.

"You are Tianjizi, are there people you're afraid of?"

"I don't know how to explain it. That person seems to not exist in this ancient history, yet he possesses an unknown power that overlooks this world. Just a moment ago, I saw his destiny suppress the Emperor Star. My only remaining eye was almost blinded by the purple aura on his body. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been killed by his backlash."

"Such an extraordinary person exists in this world!" The beautiful woman became interested and wanted to find out more.

The old beggar quickly stopped her, "Don't go over there. He's protected by the Seven Killings, which signifies misfortune and extreme ferocity."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's expression changed. She glanced at Chen Futu and the other two from afar. Ake sensed her gaze, and a flash of dark eyes appeared. The sharp aura made the beautiful woman's hair stand on end, and she froze on the spot, muttering, "Indeed, she is a great omen. My peak Grandmaster cultivation was actually intimidated by her with just one look. She is probably a supreme Grandmaster."

"That kid seems to be heading for Zhongnan Mountain. This is going to be interesting." The old beggar suddenly became smirking again. "No wonder when I divined about Zhongnan Mountain, it turned out to be a close call. I see. I see. Those guys from Red Moon Tower are probably in for a rough time."

The beautiful woman said strangely, "Since you've revealed such an interesting thing, I'll treat you to a meal on the boat."

"Hehe, then this old man thanks the painter for his generosity."

The old beggar excitedly followed the beautiful woman away.

Chen Futu and his group continued to wander around the city gathering information, and finally the three of them arrived at the painted boat together.

The so-called "Thousand Gold Painting Boat" is nominally a brothel for famous people, but in reality, it is a place for gathering information, just like the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in Dragon City, or perhaps a Jianghu organization.

Of course, this kind of Jianghu organization cannot be compared with Zhongnan Mountain.

With the Heartless Fairy in charge of Zhongnan Mountain, it can be considered a dominant force in the martial arts world, while the painted boats are at best a first- or second-rate organization. Their income comes from intelligence and the rewards from wealthy people for their food, drink, and entertainment, so they are quite good at making money.

The beautiful woman had just settled the old beggar down the luxurious first-floor lobby when she saw Chen Futu. Startled, she immediately put on a smiling face and personally went to greet him.

Those present were all martial arts practitioners, and they were surprised to see her personally receiving them, so they glanced at Chen Futu a few more times.

"Young master, my name is Hua Yu, the owner of this boat. Would you like to dine?"

Hua Yu was extremely polite to Chen Futu. She remembered that Tianjizi had said that the young man in front of her had the extraordinary phenomenon of purple aura coming from the east for 30,000 miles, completely overshadowing the Emperor Star. Such an existence was far beyond her ability to provoke, so she naturally had to do her best to please him.

Chen Futu said with a smile, "I'm new here and heard that the painted boat is a good place to stay, so I came to take a look."

"Young master, you've come to the right place! We have everything you could want for food, drinks, and entertainment; we guarantee your satisfaction!"

Hua Yu warmly welcomed Chen Futu to the elegant room on the second floor and served him the best tea and snacks. However, the more she looked at Chen Futu, the more familiar he seemed. Suddenly, she remembered the bounty on the Red Moon Pavilion, her body stiffened abruptly, and her attitude became even more respectful.

Chen Futu casually asked a few questions, and her answers were similar to those of Boss Chen. She said that the Red Moon Pavilion would launch a major attack on Zhongnan Mountain in three days. In addition, she revealed that the Red Moon Pavilion had dispatched a total of ten Class A assassins and more than fifty Class B assassins. They had even planted many spies in the shadows. In short, the Red Moon Pavilion had gone to great lengths to destroy Zhongnan Mountain.
