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

The most terrifying thing about the Black Sand Sea is not the bandits, poisonous snakes and insects, or wild beasts, but the black sandstorms.

If you encounter this thing head-on, even a martial emperor will perish. It is said that the temperature at its center is extremely high. Its exterior is pitch black, but its interior is like a fire tornado, capable of roasting even the strongest into dried-up husks.

"Quick, hide behind the sand dunes!"

Shen San gave a shout, and everyone ran towards the sand dune in unison.

Chen Futu did not dodge the question, but instead asked Zhang Sanfeng, "Can you solve this?"

Zhang Sanfeng looked at the black tornado that blotted out the sky and pondered, "The power of nature is unimaginable, but it's not like we can't give it a try."

His twenty years of accumulated skill were not just for show; dealing with natural disasters of this level was a piece of cake for him.

Seeing that everyone had fled, Zhang Sanfeng lightly touched the ground with his toes, transforming into a streak of white light and flashing towards the source of the black sandstorm.

Little White clapped its hands excitedly, "This is so much fun! Silly Auntie wants to play too. Can Silly Auntie kill it with one punch?"

"Don't be so violent, little kids. Besides, the Black Sandstorm isn't human; it can't be killed," Chen Futu said with a smile.

"If that old man can go, why can't Silly Girl?"

"Just watch and behave. I'll let you do it next time."

Chen Futu forcibly grabbed Xiaobai.

Shen Lu shouted from a distance, "What are you all standing there for? Hide!"

Most people would be terrified by a black sandstorm, so it's rare to see someone as calm as Chen Futu and his group.

Shen San didn't care about anything else and desperately pulled his daughter behind the sand dunes.

At the same time, thunder and lightning crackled near the dark tornado on the horizon, followed by an ethereal Tai Chi diagram enveloping the area. As terrifying energy rolled and spread, the scene resembled the end of the world, with black sand sweeping over like shotgun shells.

Xiao Bai snorted, raised his protective aura, and steadily protected Chen Futu and Ge Fei.

Ge Fei grabbed Chen Futu's arm, staring in horror at the apocalyptic scene. "Young Master, what is the background of that old man?"

With her current strength at the early stage of Grandmaster level, she cannot comprehend Zhang Sanfeng's existence at all.

Chen Futu grinned, "You can call him the Old Immortal."

No joke, Zhang Sanfeng deserves the title of "Land Immortal." In the old martial arts classification, above the sage would probably be the Land Immortal, and Zhang Sanfeng is undoubtedly worthy of it.

Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi transformed into endless qi, enveloping the black tornado and actually causing it to change course.

This scene was so outrageous that it sent chills down my spine.

He single-handedly shook the heavens and earth, but it seemed he had angered something. The black sky was filled with roaring thunder, as if rebuking living beings for defying the will of heaven.

Shen San and his party, who were hiding behind the sand dunes, were so terrified by the thunder that they didn't dare to lift their heads.

Soon Zhang Sanfeng returned to Chen Futu's side, covered in dust and dirt. He patted his head and beard, and sand fell off with a whoosh.

Little Bai laughed so hard he rolled on the ground, "This is so much fun! The old man has turned into a little mud man, hahaha!"

Zhang Sanfeng said irritably, "Next time it's your turn. Don't ask me to do this kind of thing."

Chen Futu chuckled sarcastically: "Old man, how does it feel to have human power thwart a natural disaster?"

"The sandstorm wasn't strong, but it gave me a strange feeling."

Zhang Sanfeng looked at the dark sky. When he used Tai Chi to forcibly change the course of the black sandstorm, he had a strange feeling that he was being targeted. This was the first time he had ever felt this absurdity since he was born, as if it were a man-made natural disaster.

"Man-made?"

Chen Futu secretly asked the system, "What was that just now? Don't tell me there's a Heavenly Dao in this world, or that someone is targeting me."

The system does not understand what the host is saying.

"You're just pretending to be stupid all day long. When I get played to death, you'll be the one crying."

[Host is warned that the Black Sand Sea is extremely dangerous. Please leave as soon as possible and do not venture into uninhabited areas.]

"Judging from your tone, someone is indeed deliberately targeting me. You want me to explore the secrets of this place."

[The system does not have this; please do not speak nonsense.]

The system sound disappeared.

Chen Futu was too lazy to ask any more questions. With Zhang Sanfeng and Xiaobai protecting him, whoever he was, he could beat even a terrestrial immortal to a pulp!

And so, the group continued to feast, devouring the large amounts of fish and meat they had brought from the system space.

The group of people hiding behind the sand dunes in the distance finally noticed that the black sandstorm had gone. They looked at each other, puzzled as to what had happened and how such a large black sandstorm had suddenly changed course!

"Hey, you're back."

Chen Futu swayed his roasted lamb leg and greeted everyone with a grin.

Everyone was dizzy and stared blankly at the group showing off their barbecue, speechless.

The old man and the young woman ate with their mouths full of oil, completely lacking any decorum. It's hard to tell if they were just incredibly bold or extremely lucky.

"Did you see clearly just now? Why did the black sandstorm change course without reason?"

Shen Lu asked in a low voice.

Chen Futu shook his head vigorously, and seeing that she didn't believe him, he joked, "Perhaps he saw that Miss Shen was too beautiful and couldn't bear to destroy her, so he changed his route."

"Make it up, keep making it up."

Although Shen Lu didn't understand, she had a feeling that the change of course of the black sandstorm seemed to be related to the people in front of her. Otherwise, it would be too abnormal for them not to dodge or avoid it. Also, where did all these big fish and meat come from? Caravans don't have such luxury.

No matter how much Shen Lu asked, Chen Futu just didn't know. In the end, she got a free barbecue and stopped asking.

The caravan camped on this open ground tonight. At night, Ge Fei sneaked into the tent. Upon seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng immediately took the Zhenwu Sword and went to Xiao Bai's tent.

Chen Futu asked Ge Fei suspiciously, "Is something on your mind?"

"There are blue wolves in the Black Sand Sea at night. I will protect you."

"Blue Wolf?"

"The fur of the wild animals unique to the Black Sand Sea is quite valuable, and many merchants in the Western Regions buy them."

"Is that so? It seems I'm about to make a fortune."

Chen Futu looked at the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, eager to make a move.

Sure enough, around midnight, a wolf howl came from afar. This was the nature of wild beasts. After the black sand storm raged, it usually left behind corpses, and they could find food by following the black sand storm.

Chen Futu and Ge Fei arrived at the tent. In the distance, in the darkness, countless blue eyes shone like large lanterns. There were at least dozens of blue wolves.

Ge Fei said, "Generally, the best blue wolf fur is worth a hundred gold coins, and the larger the wolf, the more valuable it is."

"So, there's at least several thousand taels of gold right now. You've struck it rich. Be careful when you make your move."

"As ordered."

Consort Ge also wanted to earn some extra money for His Majesty, since this trip also involved resolving her problems.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Chen Futu grabbed the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and said with a smile, "It's been a while since I've done anything, my body's all grown hair. I'll go with you."

Actually, I was worried that something might happen to her if she was alone. The beast was quite strong; it could survive in the Black Sand Sea, so its strength was probably at the level of the Innate Realm or even the Grandmaster Realm.

Startled by the howling of wolves, the guards came out to check the situation.
