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

Jin Hua recounted everything she knew about the Brahma Tower.

The Brahma Tower is located in Tianque City in the Western Regions, which is the capital of the ancient Peacock Kingdom and also the state religion.

Yin Jie's father, known as King Yin, is a vassal king of the Peacock Ancient Kingdom. His strength seems to have reached the peak of the Martial Emperor level, or even the level of Martial Venerable. In short, the imperial court has to be wary of him.

"Which is stronger, the Holy Maiden's faction or the Brahma Tower? Or, to put it another way, which is stronger, the Brahma Tower or the Ancient Palace?"

Chen Futu asked the key question.

Jin Hua replied, "The Brahma Tower is not as good as the Ancient Palace and the Black Sand Sea. These two forces have existed for too long and have always kept a low profile. In comparison, the high-profile Brahma Tower seems to be all bark and no bite."

"That's what I think too."

Chen Futu was able to analyze the clues provided by the system and figure out that when the Black Storm struck last time, the system warned that the Black Sand Sea was extremely dangerous. Keep in mind that Zhang Sanfeng and Xiaobai were with them; the fact that the system issued a danger warning under these circumstances speaks volumes about the strength of the Black Sand Sea.

As for the ancient palace, it is even more mysterious. Almost no one knows the purpose of its existence. The fact that all the saints were captured in one fell swoop indicates that the peak combat power is even stronger, so we need to be more cautious.

After asking about the Brahma Tower, Chen Futu then inquired about the Holy Maiden.

Jin Hua said, "The fact that the Holy Maiden is willing to give you the Black Demon Token shows that she has no ill intentions towards His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Moreover, the current enemy of the Empire is the Ancient Palace. I am willing to act as an intermediary and create an opportunity for you and the Holy Maiden to meet."

"Alright, I'll leave Dantu to you from now on. Don't let me down."

"Your subordinates swear to serve the Holy Emperor with their lives."

Jin Hua was quite clever; she knew that the Three Corpse Brain God Pill was beyond her control, and that not submitting would only bring endless torment.

Next, Jin Hua announced that Fan Lou had attacked the tribe and killed the Dantu King, and that from this day forward, she would be the new Dantu King.

The news caused a huge uproar.

The infamous Fanlou was feared by them, but Jinhua was not afraid. She believed that the old man by His Majesty the Holy Emperor's side could destroy Fanlou. If Fanlou was gone, what was there for her to be afraid of?

Two days later, Chen Futu and Zhang Sanfeng caught up with the slow-moving caravan.

Ge Fei looked very nervous. She had seen the commotion in Dantu and knew that a fight had broken out. If it weren't for Zhang Sanfeng, she would have gone back.

Chen Futu comforted her for a while, then noticed that Shi Zhenxiang had a bruised and swollen face. After asking her, he learned that she had stolen Xiaobai's food and was beaten up by Xiaobai. Shi Huolong realized that Xiaobai was a strong woman and dared not let the young master follow her around anymore.

Judging by the time, it will take several more days to reach Tianque City.

Even if the news of the annihilation of a group of powerful individuals is relayed back to the Brahma Tower headquarters via the vultures, they will not go to the Dantu tribe again; they might intercept them on the way.

Chen Futu also planned to cultivate influence in the Western Regions to pave the way for the future entry of the Great Xia. He could first observe the Shi family, and if they were useful, he would cultivate them.

The journey was quite pleasant over the past few days, with no major unexpected events except for an attack by wild animals.

Beyond the Black Sand Sea lies a rich city-state, somewhat like Dragon City standing amidst the vast expanse of the northern frontier. It is an enormous entity, visually striking.

According to Shi Huolong, the territory of the Peacock Kingdom was similar to that of the Central Plains, and the dynasty was quite powerful. If it weren't for the sand sea separating them, the two places would probably have already gone to war. The current Peacock King was also an ambitious man who always wanted to kill King Yin.

Chen Futu found it amusing. It sounded a bit like the Great Qian Emperor eliminating the Prince of Zhenbei in order to consolidate power. However, how could the Heavenly King Yin compare to the Prince of Zhenbei? He was just a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world).

"Gentlemen, please come with me to the historian's residence to rest."

Shi Huolong was very enthusiastic.

Chen Futu was new to the area and wanted to gather some information first, so he agreed.

Shi Zhenxiang was very happy and kept greeting Xiaobai, introducing everything about the city.

As the imperial capital, Tianque City has many landmark buildings, one of which is the Brahma Tower. The Brahma Tower is a cluster of pavilions and palaces, densely packed and magnificent, and it exceeds the standard, being much taller than the palace city.

"The Shi family's residence is located south of Tianque City. The Shi family mainly deals in spices and rare and exotic animals."

Shi Huolong spoke with great pride about his family business.

The people of the Western Regions are known for their fierce and warlike nature, and they enjoy keeping wild animals. Along the way, many people have been seen parading around in the streets with tigers on their backs.

"Beast King Mountain is located south of Tianque City. That primeval forest is rich in rare and exotic stones, as well as various ferocious beasts. My family has set up a Treasure Pavilion there, and holds auctions every month to bid for those beasts."

"Doesn't the dynasty care?" Chen Futu asked curiously.

"Hehe, my emperor loves to raise peacocks and other rare birds, so how can the common people follow suit? Moreover, the dynasty also has an army composed of fierce beasts, all of them tigers with piercing eyes and white foreheads. Their killing power is amazing, and they have made many military achievements for the dynasty."

"The Fierce Tiger Legion..."

Chen Futu became interested, thinking it would be great if the Great Xia could also form such a legion.

However, this is just wishful thinking; it's unrealistic. Just feeding those animals would cost a lot of money.

Ding!

[The system has detected that the host desires an army of ferocious beasts. The option is now available.]

[1. Choose to emulate Wang Xuance, who single-handedly destroyed a country, and you will be rewarded with the White Tiger Legion, 5,000 ferocious beasts, and individual combat strength at the Martial Grandmaster level]

"System, are you kidding me? One person destroying a country? You really dare to dream of that."

As Shi Huolong just said, the territory of the Peacock Dynasty is no less than that of the Central Plains, and this is only one country in the Western Regions; there are other kingdoms as well.

Chen Futu admitted that he was arrogant, but not to the point of destroying a country by himself. If he could get another Three Corpse Brain God Pill, it wouldn't be impossible for him to cause trouble.

[2. Choose to ally with the Peacock King and together destroy the Brahma Tower. Reward: War Elephant Legion, 3,000 ferocious beasts, individual combat strength of Martial Master level]

[3. Choose to form an alliance with the Black Sand Sea, promote the Saintess to the throne, and be rewarded with the Warhawk Legion, three thousand ferocious beasts, and individual combat power at the Martial Master level.]

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to create enemies for myself for no reason?"

Chen Futu wouldn't even consider the third option, as for the first and second...

After pondering for a long time, Chen Futu asked Zhang Sanfeng, "I want to control the Peacock King. Can you and Xiaobai suppress the Imperial City?"

Zhang Sanfeng looked at the majestic palace and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid that won't work. The people here are arrogant. Even if we kill the Peacock King, a new emperor will take the throne. Unless we kill them all, if you don't mind causing a bloodbath, young master, I might as well give it a try."

"Is that so?"

Chen Futu frowned for a long time, then suddenly an idea came to him.

"I've got an idea! System, I'll choose one: one person destroys a country."

[Selection successful. Given the host's current situation, the White Tiger Legion will be temporarily incorporated into the system. The host can deploy it at any time if needed.]

[If the host is unable to make the choice to destroy a country single-handedly, the system will withdraw the White Tiger Legion.]
