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

Chongming spilled all the information the Sand Sea Clan had gathered, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

In short, the Ononhai tribe of the grasslands and the lineage of the Southern Frontier Holy Sect are hostile to the Great Xia. The Little Mount Sumeru is also hostile because the Great Xia had the Sand Sea wipe out their Buddhist forces near the ancient capital. Therefore, these three forces must be dealt with carefully.

"A small Mount Sumeru? Could there be a great Mount Sumeru?" Chen Futu asked sarcastically.

Chongming replied, "There is a Great Mount Sumeru, but it is not within the territory of Lizhou. It is said that the Great Mount Sumeru is related to the Sea of ​​Bitterness."

"The Sea of ​​Suffering? So it was them!"

Chen Futu knew about the Bitter Sea. Min Ruohai had said that the Bitter Sea was the powerful force that allowed the Ancient Palace to monitor him, this anomaly.

Now that the ruins have been opened, we should first take a look at the people of this Little Mount Sumeru and see what's so special about them.

Two days later, the group arrived at the Dantu tribe.

Today, the Dantu Oasis has expanded several times over, the surrounding environment has improved, and there are more people here.

Jin Hua and Xuan Yuan Rong came out together to greet them.

Xuanyuan Rong looked well. The change in the environment of the Sand Sea was thanks to the Great Xia Kingdom's fortune, as well as the efforts of the Sand Sea Clan over thousands of years. Moreover, with the shrinking area of ​​the sand eyes, it is now unlikely that there will be any uprising.

Jin Hua first helped everyone arrange accommodations, and then Chen Futu chatted with Xuan Yuanrong alone for a while.

Xuanyuan Rong said, "The so-called relics should be the ancient traditions buried in the sand sea. Before the sand eye appeared, the martial arts here were extremely prosperous. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there were a hundred schools of thought contending."

"What powerful beings fought a great battle here a thousand years ago and destroyed everything?" Chen Futu asked the crucial question.

"I don't know. According to the ancient records of our clan, it should be a battle between experts above the Great Sage level. In that battle, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the stars and moon lost their light, and even many earth veins were damaged, causing this region to become desert."

"They finished their business and left, leaving behind a ticking time bomb that will plague the people. If I find out who did it..."

Chen Futu had no liking for those super strong people; they were selfish and self-serving, harming others without benefiting themselves.

Once I've cultivated to a high enough level and found the culprits, I'll skin them alive!

Xuanyuan Rong gave a wry smile and then described the location of the ruins. "Based on the intelligence we have gathered, the ruins are the remains of an ancient tribe, but there is no record of which tribe it was. At present, we can only approach it from a distance and we can feel strange fluctuations coming from it."

"Okay, let's set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"I'll get ready right now."

After Xuanyuan Rong left, Chen Futu returned to his residence. Jin Hua, being a good person, arranged for many efficient and eloquent maids to serve Qin Liangyu, the Queen Mother of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Qin Liangyu was pregnant, and the reason she was invited here was more to help her relax.

Unfortunately, Li Xiuning had just given birth to Chen Changsheng and could not leave, so Li Yuanba, Dongfang Bubai, and others were left to protect the imperial court, and no accidents would occur.

"Your Majesty, a visiting card has been sent from Mount Sumeru."

Jin Hua handed over a letter.

Chen Futu had no good impression of monks and was too lazy to accept the letter. Qin Liangyu took it first, and after reading it, she smiled and said, "A Buddhist disciple from Little Sumeru Mountain personally sent a letter of apology to His Majesty for the attack on the Peacock Kingdom by the Brahma Temple."

"Would they be so kind? The apology is a pretense; they're really testing my attitude."

In his previous life, Chen Futu disliked bald monks, as they were far removed from the Taoist ideal of quiet cultivation and reeked of money.

"That Buddhist disciple also said he wanted to apologize to His Majesty in person."

"Zhensu, just you wait and see, these bald monks will definitely cause trouble again."

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Futu instructed Qin Liangyu to keep Xiaobai and the four beauties by her side at all times. With Xiaobai around, the Little Mount Sumeru, the ancient tribes of Onon Sea, and the lineage of the Southern Frontier Holy Sect would all have to step aside.

Qin Liangyu chuckled, not taking it to heart.

The following morning, the group set off from the Dantu tribe to the ruins. Because the ruins were guarded by the Sand Sea tribe, no one could enter before Chen Futu arrived. Therefore, Chen Futu was not in a hurry to travel. He walked and stopped along the way, enjoying the natural scenery of the oasis. The journey that would have taken two or three days was delayed for five or six days before they arrived.

When he arrived, he saw tents deep in the oasis, with hundreds of people in sight. Most of them had angry faces, but since the Holy Emperor was in front of him, he dared not speak his anger. No matter how unhappy he was, he still had to step forward and say "Holy Emperor, may you live in peace" to the Holy Emperor.

Chen Futu's gaze swept over the various forces, finally settling on the group from Little Sumeru Mountain.

The monk was different from what I had imagined. I thought he was a young novice monk, but he turned out to be an old monk in his fifties. He looked kind and benevolent, and when he opened his mouth he said "Amitabha". His cultivation level was actually at the Cloud-Supporting Realm.

As for Hundred Flowers Valley and Golden Martial Hall, as major forces in the Western Regions, these two should not be underestimated, as they both have Grandmasters of the Cloud-Piercing Realm in charge.

The Valley of a Hundred Flowers is related to elixirs. The people who came were refined and elegant. Their attire was not as rough as that of people from the Western Regions. Instead, they seemed to be a mixed-race of people from the Central Plains and the Western Regions. The leader was a girl in a green dress, holding a bright green bamboo pole in her hand. She looked innocent and carefree.

The people of Jinwutang were much more rugged than those of Baihuagu. Their skin was bronze, concealing explosive power. They were all experts in body tempering. The leader was a young man named Jinwuzi.

Xuanyuan Rong transmitted his voice and said, "Don't underestimate them. Hundred Flowers Valley has the art of preserving youth. Green Luo is the current Valley Master, but she is actually in her fifties or sixties and is also a Cloud-Supporting Realm expert."

"The Heavenly Child Granny? She's a whole level above your father."

Chen Futu stared in astonishment at the innocent girl in the green dress, his skin crawling with goosebumps. Her age was just too strange!

"Although Jinwuzi of Jinwu Hall is not the hall master, he is the son of the hall master. He cultivates the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique and is known as the Three-Legged Golden Crow. His blood energy is overwhelming. He defeated a Martial Venerable with the cultivation of a late-stage Martial Empress."

"Their strength is not bad."

"They excel at close combat and their fighting style is brutal. If you encounter them, try to avoid getting close to them."

What methods does Lesser Mount Sumeru possess?

"According to the elders, Mount Sumeru is the orthodox Buddhist sect. Their methods have the effect of bewitching people. The Buddhist chants are full of hints and can amplify people's sins and desires. It is said that the great Buddhist cultivators at the Martial Saint level have heaven-defying techniques such as the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of their hands, and their power is unimaginable."

"Interesting, this little Mount Sumeru seems rather sinister."

Chen Futu felt that these powerful forces were all more outrageous than the last.

Finally, Xuanyuan Rong introduced the Onon tribe and the Southern Frontier tribe.

The ancient tribes of the Ononhai grasslands are all dressed in animal skins, looking no different from savages who have been out of touch with the world for too long. Their faces are painted with strange symbols, and their smiles are eerie.

The group from southern Xinjiang was led by a rough, uncouth man dressed like a farmer, accompanied by a red-haired girl. The girl held a pale white bone flute, and her large, peach-colored eyes kept scrutinizing the group from the Great Xia.

This father and daughter are the current Witch King and Witch Queen of the Southern Frontier Holy Sect, Yan Shan and Yan Xiaoxiao, one at the peak of Martial Venerable and the other a Martial Emperor.

"Impressive! Yan Xiaoxiao is about the same age as Long Luo. Reaching the Martial Emperor level at such a young age is truly monstrous."

As he spoke, Chen Futu saw the people from Tianyang Academy and other ethnic groups from the desert.
