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

“You did not personally lay a hand on the people, and that is why I spared your life. As the leader of this massacre, don’t you think you owe the people an explanation?” Chen Futu asked with a frown.

Garan thought for a moment, "I can make it up to you."

"Compensation? All you know is compensation, you beast!"

Chen Futu grabbed Jialan by the collar, but she turned her face away without resisting. "Hit me if you want."

"I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you."

Chen Futu suddenly shoved her away, and she fell to the ground, sprawling on her back.

"I'm giving you a task: rebuild the Red Dust Ferry under whatever pretext you use. Also, build a school for the children, an almshouse, and provide financial assistance to the families of the victims. You'll be responsible for all these expenses. In addition, you'll maintain contact with the Ancient Temple. No matter what means you use, you must tell me the Ancient Temple's follow-up plans. That's your only value in living. If you become useless one day, I will not hesitate to chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

"I see……"

Garan answered in a deep voice, her emotions fluctuating. Chen Futu gave her one last cold glance before turning away.

Garan stood alone on the ruins, gazing at the living beings. She watched the people weeping and burying their faces in their hands, and the orphan squatting alone under a tree burning paper money. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face.

She used to be high and mighty, regarding human life as worthless. Now, Chen Futu has brought her down to earth. Looking at the faces of all living beings, she realizes that she is just one of the ants, unable to save herself or control the general trend.

Diao Chan walked over, looked at her like this, and said, "Crocodile tears are always so fake."

"My first mission was also under orders..."

“You don’t need to explain to me. The king’s will is above all else and cannot be desecrated. Your sins can only be washed away with blood.”

Diao Chan came here only to see how Garan would react and how he would face the surviving people. If she still has any humanity, she should feel a little regret, right?

"Big sister, were your family members also murdered?"

Nannan and Longluo walked over, looking up with their innocent and carefree little faces and asking.

She didn't recognize Galan as the culprit, only thinking he was a victim.

The monk was speechless, unable to express his feelings.

Nannan handed over a snow-white handkerchief. "Sister, wipe your tears. We're still alive, and everyone will be happy for us."

"Need not."

Galan did not take the snow-white handkerchief. She was too dirty. She had been in the dye vat since the day she was born. She was filthy, and her soul and heart were black.

Long Luo glanced at her curiously, then took Nannan elsewhere to comfort the orphans.

Before leaving, Diao Chan said to Jialan, "Never forget your master's mission; it is the only value of your life."

The catastrophe at the Red Dust Ferry has come to an end.

The Dragon City Daily heavily criticized the Ancient Temple's brutality, claiming that the culprit had been killed, his heart ripped out, and his head severed as a sacrifice to the dead. Furthermore, Dragon City granted the Inspectorate the right to take over local security and increased the supply of weapons.

Word spread quickly.

In a secluded courtyard somewhere in the Great Qian Dynasty, the elderly Sage received intelligence from the northern frontier.

The letter was sent by Galan. In it, she wrote only a few words: "Father, I am still alive. The King of the Northern Frontier used the young master of the Asura Palace to take the blame for me, and it was I who first arrested him. Now I hope you can answer one question for me: What is the meaning of the existence of the Ancient Palace? If you refuse to answer, I will tell the Asura Palace Master the whole story, and our two families will be at odds forever."

Looking at the contents of the letter, the sage's face showed displeasure. "This girl has really grown up, daring to speak to her father like that."

Despite his anger, he dared not gamble. After much deliberation, he sent a letter to Garan, which was then delivered to the northern frontier, urging her to return as soon as possible.

On the Shura Palace side, upon learning of the young master's death, they were enraged and issued a kill order against the Northern Frontier for the first time, vowing to kill the Northern Frontier King to avenge him.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world. Everyone knew that the Northern Frontier had clashed with a powerful force known as the Ancient Palace. Everyone was waiting to see the show, and the happiest person was undoubtedly the new emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Liu Bainian's army was defeated by two petty rebels, and he lost face. Now that Chen Futu has officially started a war with the Ancient Palace, he can rest assured, because he knows the Ancient Palace's strength and knows that no matter how powerful Chen Futu is, he can't be a match for the Ancient Palace.

Amidst the turmoil of the world, Chen Futu sat upright in the Jade Palace and met Ji Wuchen, who had returned from the Great Qian Dynasty.

His cultivation was completely stable. Including Diao Chan, Qing Yi, and A Ke who was still on a mission in Da Qian, there were now four Saints in the Northern Frontier. Before long, the Asura Palace would come to attack. The Northern Frontier needed to establish its authority and tell the world that not only was the Northern Frontier strong enough in terms of national power, but it was also no less than a top-tier power in terms of its foundation.

"So we're going to clash with the ancient palace again? This time, I won't run away."

Ji Wuchen wiped the Jinghong Sword, his expression filled with reminiscence.

The Sword Saint of the Sword Tomb died at the hands of those domineering guys in the Ancient Palace. He fled out of fear and hid for decades. Now, the King of the Northern Frontier wants to rule the world and bring peace back to it. It is time for the long-sealed Jinghong Sword to shine again.

The man in green sneered, “What ancient temple? They’re just a bunch of vermin. No matter what their purpose is, poisoning the Northern Frontier is a capital offense. My Destruction Sword Dao has just been forged and is ready to drink blood.”

"I am not afraid of them. I will do whatever Your Majesty desires."

Diao Chan smiled and poured a cup for Chen Futu, her eyes full of tenderness, showing no fear whatsoever.

Ding!

[Detected that the Lord of the Asura Palace is enraged by the loss of his child and intends to descend upon the Northern Frontier with his elite troops and four Saints. Please make a choice.]

[1. Choose to follow the will of Heaven and protect the Northern Frontier, the reward is the Undying Golden Body Technique]

[2. Choose to invite the world to attack the ancient temple. Although no one may respond, the reward is a Maxim heavy machine gun with 30,000 rounds of ammunition.]

[3. Choose to resist, carve out an invincible name for the Northern Frontier, deter the villains of the world, and prevent them from wreaking havoc on the Northern Frontier again. Reward: Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique]

"Is there even a choice? I'd definitely choose number three. I don't know what surrendering means!"

[The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique has automatically completed its fusion.]

Please note that this sword technique consumes a great deal of energy and should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

After the system sound faded, Chen Futu summoned Mao Xiang and inquired about Ake's condition.

Mao Xiang said, "Ake has slaughtered most of the high-ranking members of the Red Moon Pavilion and has basically taken control. However, it will take time for Xiao Qi to take over the Red Moon Pavilion, otherwise he will reveal his weaknesses. Ake has also dealt with several other forces and seized a lot of money and grain, which are on their way to the Northern Frontier."

"Send someone to inform her immediately that she can come back."

A great war is about to break out, and Chen Futu will step over the corpses of the Asura Palace to ascend to the supreme position in the world.
