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

"presumptuous."

The powerful and domineering voice resonated like heavenly music, overwhelming the entire imperial city.

The monk who had suddenly closed in on the man in green to kill him was struck as if by lightning. He was suppressed by the invisible dragon energy and coughed up blood, retreating more than ten steps.

"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings!"

All the civil and military officials stood up, and Zhao Xier hurriedly bowed as well. Only Yin Jie held a wine cup with a sinister look on his face.

Amidst countless gazes, Yang Yuhuan and Diaochan, two stunningly beautiful figures, gracefully arrived on either side of the throne. Then, Chen Futu, clad in a black and gold patterned robe, appeared in a flash. His starry eyes swept across the entire audience, exuding an imposing aura without anger. Rolling dragon energy manifested on his body, and the awe-inspiring presence of a holy emperor chilled all living beings to the bone.

"The envoys from the Western Regions have come from afar, yet they have stirred up trouble at the royal court. Are they plotting a rebellion?"

Chen Futu stared intently at the ascetic, his killing intent undisguised.

The monk was inwardly alarmed, then lowered his head and said humbly, "Amitabha, this humble monk has overstepped his bounds, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"This is the only time. If anyone dares to offend the dignity of the royal court again, I will kill them."

"This humble monk understands."

The ascetic retreated to Yin Jie's side and said nothing more.

Yin Jie asked inwardly, "What's going on?"

The monk transmitted a secret message: "Young Master, the Northern Frontier King's strength is incorrect. He is already a Martial Emperor and carries the dynasty's fortune. This humble monk is no match for him."

"how come."

“Young Master, it seems that a hard approach won’t work. This humble monk suggests a more conciliatory approach, which might persuade him to pledge allegiance to the Brahma Tower.”

"When have I, young master, ever suffered such a loss? Wouldn't this tarnish the dignity of the Brahma Tower?"

Yin Jie refused to back down, and the monk shook his head, unwilling to say anything more.

Others may not know how powerful Chen Futu is, but he felt it deeply just now. A single attack from a distance injured him. Moreover, the royal experts of the Northern Frontier Royal Court are not only Qingyi and Chen Futu, but those two beautiful songstresses are also not much weaker than him. If he makes another move, he will probably have to stay here.

After Chen Futu took his seat, he looked at Zhao Xier, who had her head bowed, and said unhappily, "Someone, lead the King of Zhao to his seat."

Dian Wei had been waiting for a long time. He strode into the hall and gestured for Zhao Xier to enter. Then, he glared at Yin Jie with his tiger-like eyes, wishing he could swing his double halberds and chop him to pieces.

Yin Jie chuckled and looked away.

Soon, Zhao Xier sat down next to Qingyi, and the conflict was temporarily averted.

Chen Futu then asked Yin Jie, "What brings the envoy from afar?"

"King of the Northern Frontier, I have come to the Central Plains on the orders of Fanlou to present you with a great opportunity."

"What do the opportunities in the Western Regions have to do with me?"

"Not so. Little do you know, the Northern Frontier Royal Court is nothing more than a small country in the Central Plains. I suggest that the Northern Frontier King listen to my suggestion before making a decision." Yin Jie remained arrogant, his unruly nature emanating from his very bones.

"Tell me about it."

Chen Futu's contempt emanated from his very bones.

It would be a joke if a time traveler could be fooled by the local natives.

"King of the Northern Frontier, do you know that the so-called Central Plains is nothing more than a corner of Lizhou?"

"So what if it is? So what if I don't know?"

"Although you defeated the Great Qian and drove it to the south of the Milky Way, looking at the vast territory, it is nothing more than children playing. As for your achievements, they are not worth mentioning. Why not pledge allegiance to my Fanlou? I can take you to see a wider world."

Yin Jie's words implied that he considered himself the master of the Northern Frontier, an attitude that enraged all the civil and military officials.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said sarcastically, "If the Brahma Tower is so powerful, why would it bother coming to this corner of the land you speak of to recruit people from the northern frontier?"

"I am speaking with the King of the Northern Frontier, who is this servant interrupting?"

Yin Jie slammed down the golden cup and rebuked Zhuge Liang.

"Be bold!"

The generals rose up defiantly, their killing intent no longer able to be contained!

Guan Yu said arrogantly, "In my opinion, you are nothing but a nobody who sells his head for a pittance. How dare you spout such nonsense here?"

"King of the Northern Frontier, your soldiers seem quite resentful. Does this represent your wishes?"

Yin Jie's words were full of threats.

Chen Futu gestured to his ministers to calm down, then asked in a strange tone, "The Brahma Tower intends to recruit the Northern Frontier, which is a good thing. However, we are meeting the Brahma Tower for the first time, and we do not know the extent of your strength."

"What the King of the Northern Frontier means is..."

"Your Excellency surely understands that the greatest enemy of the Northern Frontier is not the Great Qian Dynasty, but the Ancient Palace hidden in the shadows. Now that you have arrived, please take action to deal with the Ancient Palace. If you can do so, the Northern Frontier will submit."

Chen Futu's words almost made Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen burst out laughing.

This is going to make them fight like dogs.

Yin Jie replied awkwardly, "King of the Northern Frontier, please don't joke around. That ancient palace is quite powerful. Even if the Brahma Tower wanted to destroy them, it wouldn't be so easy."

"If you can't do it, how can you expect to make the Northern Frontier submit for nothing? Why don't we in the Northern Frontier submit to the ancient palace that's right here? Why go to such lengths?"

"you……"

Yin Jie was speechless when asked the question and couldn't say a word.

Upon closer examination, this makes sense. The two major powers are of similar strength, so even if they were to submit, they should submit to the ancient temple that is closest to them.

Ultimately, Fanlou knew that the Northern Frontier and the Ancient Palace were mortal enemies, which is why he took the opportunity to step in and win them over.

Chen Futu's face darkened. "I thought that since you made such a bold statement, you must have some courage and strategy, but it turns out you are all bark and no bite."

"Chen Futu!"

Yin Jie broke down, stood up abruptly, and his handsome face contorted in pain.

Back then, Fanlou was fawned over wherever he went, but now that he's come to the Northern Frontier, the Northern Frontier King sees him as a joke, which he can't accept.

Chen Futu raised an eyebrow and said, "What, you're already angry? Think about whether what I said makes sense. Those who are powerful and influential, who want to win over others but are unwilling to show their strength, aren't they just all bark and no bite?"

"Very well! It's just an ancient temple, isn't it? I'll show you the power of my Brahma Tower!"

"In that case, I'll wait and see. By the way, last time I dealt with all the Martial Emperors of the Asura Palace. This time, when the Brahma Tower makes its move, it should kill at least a dozen Martial Emperors, otherwise, how can it claim to have subdued the Northern Frontier?"

"you!"

Yin Jie was furious.

This was the first time anyone had dared to question Fanlou to his face, and the first time anyone had dared to speak to him in such a manner.

"let's go!"

Yin Jie stormed off in a huff, and the two monks exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and left as well.

Our young master is hot-blooded and impetuous; he's been tricked.

Watching them leave, the man in green asked suspiciously, "Are you just going to let them go like that?"

Chen Futu sneered, "These clowns are not worth mentioning. Today, the King of Zhao has come from afar, so let's drink a big cup of wine, then play music and dance."

The ensuing banquet was extremely lively.

Yang Yuhuan played the zither herself, while Diaochan performed a dance. The imperial court was filled with singing and dancing, completely disregarding the Brahma Tower.

With Chen Futu's current strength, the two Martial Emperor monks could easily suppress him. Moreover, they can't go back. Let's see if they dare to attack the ancient palace. If they don't dare, then kill them.

This banquet was a great show of respect for Zhao Xier. She is currently a powerful figure in her own right, and it was appropriate for Chen Futu, as her master, to give her such a grand reception.

It was quite late after the banquet.

Chen Futu left Zhao Xier alone. Zhao Xier stepped forward meekly, and Chen Futu pulled her soft body into his arms, asking, "Did Yin Jie bully you?"
