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

The system cannot fulfill the host's request.

The system refused decisively.

"No? What will you do if I get killed?"

Chen Futu asked with a dark expression.

The system remained silent for a long time before suddenly popping up a shop list filled with dense information about powerful individuals, all of whom were saints. They could indeed be rented for a day, but the rental period was two million per day, more than twice as expensive as hiring them for thirty days directly.

"I'll rent it!"

It hurts to spend money, but now is not the time to save money.

A quick glance at the list revealed that the prefixes displayed were no longer titles like "Sword Saint" or "Gun King," but rather "Saint So-and-so."

"Confucius?"

[Confucian Sage, would you like to redeem this item?]

"exchange!"

[Exchange successful. Two million taels of silver will be deducted from the host's personal funds and distributed to Dragon City Academy by the Confucian Sage.]

[The Great Creation Fist has been sent to your system space. Please check your inbox.]

"Confucius--"

Chen Futu let out a loud roar, which echoed throughout half the city.

Qin Liangyu and the others heard the faint sounds in the square, and their expressions changed drastically. "Something's wrong!"

A few breaths later, an old man in an elegant robe approached with a book in his hand, smiling. "Your Majesty, is there something you need from this old man so late at night?"

Chen Futu stared blankly at Confucius. His appearance was a bit strange. Was he too burly? He was almost two meters tall, and although he was clearly an old man, he gave people the feeling of being extremely strong and powerful, as if he could kill a cow with one punch.

"Master, Qingyi is in danger! Come with me to save her!"

Without a second thought, Chen Futu grabbed Confucius with one hand and Ake with the other, and set off in a swift meteor shower towards the north of the city.

"Your Majesty's cultivation is quite good; it seems you have worked hard. However, your cultivation level is still somewhat lacking. If you have time, I can guide Your Majesty in the path of Confucianism, and I guarantee that Your Majesty can..."

Confucius kept nagging in his ear, and Chen Futu was exasperated. "I said, old man, can you shut up?"

"Your Majesty, please don't be so angry. You should learn to cultivate your mind and character, and only by living like me can you live a long life."

Confucius stroked his beard and chuckled.

Soon, the group saw a raging fire burning in the distance, with intense sword energy emanating from it, and the faint sound of a little girl's joyful laughter mixed in.

At this moment, Tianjizi was lying sprawled on the street of the farm, surrounded by raging flames. He was beaten so badly that he couldn't even stand up. Tortoise shells and copper coins were scattered all over the ground, and his compass had slipped from his hand.

In the sea of ​​fire not far away, a man in green robes, covered in blood and with disheveled hair, gripped a long sword and glared angrily at the surrounding flames.

"Hidden and showing your true colors, come out and fight if you dare!"

"Hehehe! So the renowned Heartless Fairy's strength is only this much? How disappointing!"

The little girl's voice came from all directions, like a demonic sound. The girl in green was so disturbed by the sound that her head was splitting with pain, and she became unsteady, clutching her head as if she was about to fall over at any moment.

"Qingyi, you have offended the ancient palace. Today I will take your head. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Ancient Hall... It seems that you were the ones who wiped out the East Sea King's entire family back then, you filthy things!"

"We've been searching for the Heavenly Ruler, but who would have thought it would fall into the hands of Zhongnan Mountain? Hand over the Heavenly Ruler, and we'll leave you with a whole corpse."

"That was originally the most precious treasure of my Zhongnan Mountain, how could it belong to you!"

"Heh, what the ancient palace has set its sights on is what the ancient palace desires. You disagree? It's a pity you're destined to die today. Dying at the beginning of the new year isn't such a bad ending. Qingyi, experience it!"

The little girl's laughter filled the air, while the woman in green, clutching her brow in pain, brandished her sword in all directions. Only her slender, small figure could be seen emerging from the sea of ​​fire.

"Die!"

Despite the pain and rage, Qingyi lunged at the overlapping figures, but the small figure suddenly vanished. When Qingyi reacted, a little girl in a red cloak stood behind her, grinning innocently, "I'll kill you~"

With a light, effortless punch, the woman in green was sent flying backward, her longsword clattering to the ground.

"Below the sage, all are ants. Everyone says you are a sage, but you are still far from it."

The girl clapped her hands and walked step by step toward the woman in green. The next second, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew past the girl's cheek.

Her face darkened, she stopped in her tracks, and shouted, "Who goes there? Show yourself!"

"Where did this little brat come from? Go home and drink your milk!"

Chen Futu appeared holding the Soul Hunter, with Confucius and Ake behind him.

Upon seeing this, the woman in green cried out in alarm, "Aman, get out of here quickly!"

She struggled to her feet, sheathed her sword, and prepared to fight to the death.

Chen Futu quickly helped her up, and seeing her covered in blood, he felt heartbroken. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. She can't cause any trouble."

"Run! She's a saint! You'll die!"

The woman in green raised her blood-stained face, filled with fear, and shoved Chen Futu to leave.

Chen Futu forcefully took her arm and shook his head, saying, "It's alright, a mere sage is not worth mentioning."

"Merely?"

The little girl tilted her head. "King of the Northern Frontier, how dare you appear before me! Tell me, did you kill the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"Oh? So you're the mysterious organization the leader was talking about. In my opinion, you're not all that great. You actually sent a little girl who's still breastfeeding to her death!"

"Who is the leader? And how dare you call me a little girl!"

The girl seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, her delicate, pretty face suddenly contorting into a ferocious and savage expression. "Tonight, I will wipe you all out! An anomaly like you should never have existed in this world!"

"I am an anomaly, but unfortunately, you can't kill me! Master, kill her for me!"

Chen Futu gave the order.

Confucius laughed and said, “Young people these days have such bad tempers, always shouting for violence. We should persuade them with reason.”

"Old man, where did you come from?"

The girl couldn't figure out Confucius's approach and seemed somewhat wary.

Confucius stroked his beard and said leisurely, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

"What do you mean? I don't understand!"

"It means that now that I know the way to the ancient temple this morning, I'll go and beat you all to death tonight."

"You old geezer, you're the one who's going to die!"

The girl scoffed, and the next second, a book slammed into her face. Don't underestimate this small book; its power was enough to turn a grandmaster into mincemeat. The girl's face was deformed from the blow, and she stumbled and rolled away. She covered her face, which was now covered in red marks, and her big eyes were filled with disbelief. "You, you are a saint!"

"I am a sage of Confucianism."

Confucius put the scroll back with a beaming smile.

"I underestimated you; you actually have a sage in charge of the Northern Frontier. But you hurt me badly, old man. Watch me break your bones!"

The girl unleashed a deadly attack, unleashing a whirlwind of anime-style fire and sea, laughing maniacally as if possessed.

Confucius remained calm and said, "Young girl, do you know that without learning propriety, one cannot stand upright?"

"what?"

"If you don't learn manners and respect for this old man, I will beat you until you can't stand up."
