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

"Ten Class A? What is their strength?" Chen Futu asked Hua Yu with a frown.

"Class A assassins include Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, but I don't know the specific details of those experts. Class B assassins are all at the Innate level. In addition, there are quite a few experts from the martial arts world who have come to Taiping City to join in the fun. There are no less than a hundred Innate level experts who correspond to Class B assassins, and there are also a dozen or twenty Grandmasters. As for Great Grandmasters, I don't know."

Hua Yu explained the general situation.

Liu Longyue stared wide-eyed, "So many powerful individuals? With such strength, why not serve the country?"

"Girl, you're overthinking it. These people are strong, but they're all just warriors. They're good at fighting and being brave, but they don't know anything about military affairs. If they go to the army camp, they'll only be able to be guards or centurions at most. They won't be able to influence the overall situation at all."

Chen Futu strongly agreed with Hua Yu's statement. For example, Dian Wei was very strong, but he could only serve as a bodyguard and was not good at leading troops into battle. There were very few people in the martial arts world who could both fight and lead troops. Fortunately, the peerless generals rewarded by the system were truly capable of fighting and leading troops. Therefore, Guan Yu, Huo Qubing, An Jingsi, Ma Chao, and others were all precious talents.

After giving her instructions, Huayu arranged for people to serve her fine wine and food, and assigned girls to attend to her.

She left the private room and hurriedly went to see Tianjizi.

Tianjizi was on the third floor, gnawing on a pork knuckle, his mouth covered in oil. The girls serving him knew his identity and didn't mind.

With a dark expression, Hua Yu dismissed everyone and said to Tianjizi, "Is that the King of the Northern Frontier?"

Tianjizi paused, "Red Moon Pavilion issued a bounty, it's definitely him, have you seen him?"

"It's on the second floor, I just arrived."

"what?"

Startled, Tianjizi grabbed his bag and tried to run away.

Hua Yu said irritably, "What are you afraid of? The King of Northern Frontier isn't going to eat you."

"I am afraid of getting involved in karma; he carries great terror and great secrets."

"Don't worry, he doesn't know you're here. I'm asking you, did the King of the Northern Frontier come to Zhongnan Mountain to save the Heartless Fairy?"

"That's probably it. Are you going to take sides?"

Tianjizi understood Huayu's thoughts. It was only a matter of time before the Northern Frontier King became emperor. If they could latch onto this powerful figure, Huafang would have a chance to rise to prominence and become a behemoth in the martial arts world.

Hua Yu pondered for a moment and said, "The fact that the King of the Northern Frontier is willing to come means that he has made full preparations. Since the outcome is predetermined, why not go with the flow? How many dirty things has the Red Moon Pavilion done over the years? They even threatened me to join the Red Moon Pavilion. Damn it, do they really think I'm easy to bully? If we can take this opportunity to remove the Red Moon Pavilion's henchmen, the King of the Northern Frontier might think more highly of my Hua Fang."

"Just do as you please. From my observation, the King of the Northern Frontier is a benevolent man and won't let you suffer any losses."

Tianjizi also agreed to take sides, since such an opportunity doesn't come around often.

“Old man, aren’t you going to do something? You have so many disciples and followers, and I heard that the Northern Frontier King is building the Heavenly Mystery Tower. If you can get in touch with him, perhaps the Northern Frontier King will let you take charge of the Heavenly Mystery Tower.”

"I'm not going to get involved with this old body of mine."

Tianjizi refused and continued to gnaw on the pork knuckle.

Hua Yu snorted and went to a huge pleasure boat for a meeting.

She was going all in, siding with the Northern Frontier King. Of course, she wouldn't reveal Chen Futu's identity; she would simply instruct the higher-ups to arm the girls so they could step in and support her when the time came.

Chen Futu and his two companions stayed on the painted boat for half a day, but since they hadn't heard any more useful news, they returned to the inn.

As night fell, DouDou brought back useful information.

"The Heartless Fairy is indeed seriously injured, and her internal injuries may not be healed in the short term."

"Go and give this to her."

Chen Futu had thought that Qingyi's injury was just an external one and that Baiyao would be enough, but now he could only take out the Creation Pill given to him by the system.

This thing can improve a person's fundamental understanding and wisdom, and can also expel ailments and eliminate all occupational diseases.

There were three in total. One was given to Li Xiuning, one to Guan Xing who went to Beiwu to prepare for the battle, and the remaining one was originally prepared for Qin Liangyu, but now it can only be given to Qingyi to heal her injuries.

I hope the system will reward more stars in the future.

DouDou didn't delay and went to Zhongnan Mountain again after getting the medicine.

Chen Futu did not ask him why Qingyi did not run away, because Qingyi had a strong and domineering personality and would rather die in Zhongnan Mountain than retreat even half a step.

Over the next two days, Chen Futu and Liu Longyue bought a lot of local specialties in the city to bring back to Dragon City, and more and more martial arts practitioners came.

When there are many people, trouble is more likely to happen. For example, some notorious gangsters sneak into people's homes in the middle of the night to rape other people's wives and daughters, causing public outrage.

The official in charge of Taiping City dared not intervene, and when the people filed complaints, he actually closed the yamen and refused to accept the cases.

Liu Longyue said sadly, "Officials are just ordinary people. How dare they offend the Jianghu forces at this critical juncture? Otherwise, they won't even know how they died. Moreover, cities like Taiping City, which are located under the noses of powerful forces, usually rely on the reputation of these powerful forces to maintain their security. Now that Zhongnan Mountain has been robbed, the government itself is in trouble."

"Everyone thinks that the Heartless Fairy is helpless and wants to see her make a fool of herself. But to attack the people under the nose of Zhongnan Mountain is undoubtedly a public slap in the face to Zhongnan Mountain. I can't tolerate that."

Chen Futu immediately gave Ake an order to deal with those criminals in the martial arts world, kill them, and hang their bodies on the gate tower of the Zhongnan Mountain for all to see!

Ake gave a chilling smile, then turned and disappeared.

Within half a day, the area at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain became lively. Many people gathered in the square on the mountain road, pointing and commenting on the gate tower.

More than a dozen corpses hung on the gate tower, shaped like sausages, with blood-written plaques around their necks describing their crimes.

"My God, that's Han Yutang, the Little White Dragon of the Waves! He's been killed!"

"And the notorious womanizer Situ Hong is also dead. Who did it?"

"To kill so many experts at once, it must be the work of a Grandmaster or a Great Grandmaster. This is to uphold the dignity of Zhongnan Mountain."

"The Han family is the overlord of Taiping City South. The overlord Han Lei dotes on his grandson the most. Now the Han family is probably going to attack Zhongnan Mountain."

"Although Situ Hong was expelled from the clan for practicing the art of sexual cultivation, the Situ family might still come to seek justice. It is said that the head of the Situ family practices the Blood Burning Technique and has reached the level of a half-step Grandmaster. Moreover, he has a good relationship with the Red Moon Pavilion and may take this opportunity to come."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, while Chen Futu and Liu Longyue listened to their conversation from the teahouse next door.

Liu Longyue said softly, "Aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for Zhongnan Mountain?"

"Fear? That word doesn't exist in my dictionary. Perfect, let's take this opportunity to wipe them all out."

"This is the Great Qian Dynasty, not the Northern Frontier. You don't need to provoke so many opponents."

"Liu Longyue, remember this: it's stupid not to use your strength. I want to tell the world clearly that Zhongnan Mountain is in the hands of my Northern Frontier."

Chen Futu remained as domineering as ever.
