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

"Father, why don't we submit in name only?"

Xuanyuan Rong looked at his silent father and suddenly offered his opinion.

She did not want her thousand-year-old cause to be in vain. Since there were serious disagreements in the desert, it would be better to split up. Those who wanted to leave could leave, and those who did not want to leave would not give up their posts because of submission.

Xuanyuan Chen remained silent.

Xuanyuan Lie said, "The division of the family is inevitable. If it takes too long, our clan will be exhausted. Most clansmen will choose to relocate to other regions."

"You agree with me, don't you dislike the Great Xia?" Xuan Yuanrong asked curiously.

“Girl, times have changed. After arriving in Daxia, I discovered that Chen Futu has the ability to suppress trachoma. I can leave without interfering, but if we split up, my lineage will also leave. I have two disciples here, so I might as well stay.”

Xuanyuan Lie's attitude has never changed. He stayed only to forge a good relationship with the two unparalleled geniuses in the desert.

Xuan Yuan Chen was indecisive all night, until the people he sent out brought news that Hong Gu had disappeared.

"Damn this ancient palace, I will fight you to the death!"

Xuanyuan Chen finally made a decision. He decided to lead one branch to submit according to his daughter's wishes. He could even pay homage to the Great Sage Emperor on behalf of the other branches that wanted to continue suppressing trachoma. As for the other branches, they could separate after returning home.

"Father, are you really sure about this...?"

Xuanyuan Rong's eyes reddened slightly.

Xuan Yuan Chen said gloomily, "The Ancient Palace is taking advantage of the fact that my Sand Sea Clan is weak and unable to fight them. On the day I suppress Sand Eye, I will personally lead my clan to destroy the Ancient Palace!"

No matter how wicked Hong Gu is, she is still an elder of the Sand Sea clan; how could she die at the hands of the Ancient Palace?

This is a slap in the face to Sha Hai. As the clan leader, he can't tolerate it. Moreover, splitting up the family is a good thing. Even if he can't suppress Sha Yan, he can still ensure that the bloodline of the Xuanyuan clan continues.

Xuanyuan Lie did not object; it was enough for his lineage to have him left behind.

In the morning, the three of them arrived at the palace.

Upon seeing Chen Futu, they knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

Chen Futu's eyelids twitched as he held the prescription. "What are you doing here?"

"We are willing to surrender."

Xuanyuan Chen explained his general idea.

Chen Futu never expected that he would become the catalyst for the division of the Sand Sea Clan.

Their internal divisions are becoming increasingly serious, and a decision should have been made long ago; otherwise, if they continue to delay, a complete internal rift will inevitably occur sooner or later.

Next, Xuan Yuanlie explained the detailed situation inside the Sand Sea. Apart from Hong Gu, there were eight elders in the Sand Sea who were all above the Martial Venerable level, and two more ancestors who had lived even longer.

Those who could remain were probably three Martial Venerables or above, and the ancestor of their lineage.

"That's enough. I will send Zhang Sanfeng to escort you back to the Desert Sea and temporarily help you suppress the trachoma."

Chen Futu's reply delighted the three of them. With the support of Zhang Sanfeng and the Great Xia Kingdom, replenishing their lost power would be no problem at all.

Next, we will discuss the matter of binding the nation's destiny. It's quite simple. Since the Holy Maiden is the representative of the Desert, as long as we build an altar and fuse the Holy Emperor's blood with the Holy Maiden's essence, the destiny can be intertwined.

Chen Futu wasted no time and immediately summoned the Ministry of Works to set up an altar at the site of Xuanyuan Chen's enthronement ceremony in the imperial city, as required by Xuanyuan Chen. It would take about seven days to complete.

Then Chen Futu called Zhang Sanfeng, and the old man said calmly, "Very well, I have long wanted to see the legendary trachoma, and also try to break through the Nine Yang Manual."

After he left, Xiaobai and Li Yuanba could only be taught by Xuan Yuanlie, who currently had the highest cultivation level in the capital. Xuan Yuanlie was at the peak of Martial Venerable, barely enough to serve as the national defense force of Great Xia. With the addition of Hanba, he could kill anyone above Martial Venerable.

Chen Futu asked Sun Simiao to treat the group in the desert. With the old doctor's medical skills, their injuries were quickly healed.

Seven days later, the altar was completed.

This operation was carried out covertly and was unknown to outsiders.

Chen Futu and Xuan Yuanrong walked onto the strangely shaped altar. Under the complicated gazes of Xuan Yuanchen and the others, they each dripped their blood essence into the groove of the altar. As their blood essence merged, Chen Futu's gaze seemed to cross space and reach the endless black sand sea.

The raging flames spread underground, blotting out the sky. Just touching them caused suffocation and intense burning sensations. Then, a huge black hole of flame appeared deep underground, a distorted and terrifying scene.

As the dynasty's fortune spread and covered the Black Sand Sea, thunder roared across the once cloudless sky, followed by a torrential downpour.

The tribes deep in the desert all cried out and ran out of their homes. The people of the Dantu tribe, as well as passing travelers, also looked in astonishment at the sky filled with rolling black clouds.

"It's...it's raining?"

"How could it rain in the Black Sand Sea!"

"What do you think that is?"

Someone pointed in horror at the dark sky, where a golden dragon of fortune could be vaguely seen churning in the sea of ​​clouds, with golden light from all directions converging on it from the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and the rainstorm intensified.

"It's raining!"

"Thank God!"

The once desolate black sand sea seemed to come alive again, with people from oases and small tribes kneeling on the ground, crying and laughing.

Xuanyuan Rong, standing by the altar with her eyes closed, also witnessed this scene. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said sorrowfully, "Finally, it's raining."

The tribes of the Black Sand Sea had waited for countless years, and finally, a chance for survival had arrived.

Ding!

[Host detected as being bound to the desert; Sand Eye panel activated]

A system notification sounded, and Chen Futu looked closely.

A huge dark red hole appeared on the panel, displaying detailed data.

[The source of evil left behind by the battle of the strongest beings, containing the power of true fire, cannot be neutralized by ordinary forces.]

[The suppression of the Great Xia national crisis postponed the start of the trachoma riots by one year]

The system provides a detailed explanation of what a trachoma outbreak is. Simply put, it is when the energy inside a trachoma periodically impacts the outside world, and this period is the most dangerous.

Normally, people need to take turns guarding the sand eyes. If all the guards are removed, the current national fortune alone is not enough to suppress it. Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng must go with Xuanyuan Chen as soon as possible to replace the forces after the Sand Sea Clan splits up and maintain the one-year period.

"Only a one-year delay? System, are you even capable?"

[The host's kingdom is incomplete. Please unify the Central Plains within one year. The system will reward you.]

"Easy for you to say. Beiwu and Nanqian are nothing. If we fight them, we'll have to face the Ancient Palace. Do you think I don't want to fight?"

The system cannot help.

"This trash system, if you raise my cultivation to the Great Emperor level, I'll destroy the ancient palace in no time."

[Please don't get your hopes up. We suggest you focus your attention on the Flat Heaven Ruler and the Stunning Heavenly Mystery Disc. They contain the secrets of Zhongnan Mountain and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. If you obtain them, you might reap unexpected rewards.]

Upon hearing this system notification, Chen Futu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, and the things that Boss Zhou took away at the Red Dust Ferry are hiding a big secret.

The key is currently in Bei Wu's hands, and it seems he has opened the ancestral temple. He must meet with that woman surnamed Liu and have an open and honest talk.
