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

The so-called indescribable thing is aimed at the Holy Emperor. Most of them can't distinguish between the incarnation and the true body. If he attacks the incarnation, we can see what it really is.

Without delay upon receiving the order, the avatar led five hundred soldiers out of the capital in a grand procession.

Chen Futu originally intended to summon Bai Wuyai to play the mantis stalking the cicada, but the system popped up again.

[This anecdote involves the White Night Clan, and they are not allowed to get involved, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses.]

"Damn system, all you do is increase the difficulty instead of solving problems."

[The Baiye clan has a karmic connection with the other party, and the other party also appeared because of the Baiye clan. Bai Wuyai cannot deal with them. Please, host, exercise self-restraint.]

The system absolutely refused to allow Bai Wuyai to accompany them.

Chen Futu was helpless. If the Baiye clan couldn't intervene, Wen Ruyu was the only remaining saint.

Chen Futu then summoned Wen Ruyu, Xiaobai, and Li Yuanba, and informed them of the details.

Wen Ruyu was startled and shook her head vigorously, "I'm not going!"

She wasn't stupid; she couldn't possibly handle the things created by the White Night Clan's curse.

Chen Futu said with a stern face, "I treated you with courtesy, but when trouble came, you refused to step forward. What's the point of keeping you around?"

Wen Ruyu remained silent.

She came here to exchange ideas on alchemy, but the Holy Emperor dragged her out to fight. How shameless!

"Don't worry, with me and Xiaobai here, you'll be fine."

Chen Futu didn't give Wen Ruyu a chance to refuse and immediately laid out the board.

Li Yuanba complained, "Big brother, why didn't you take me with you?"

"Someone must be stationed in the capital. You protect your sister and the others."

"I see, with me and Little Hammer here, whoever comes will die!"

Li Yuanba carried the giant iron hammer with an arrogant expression.

After Chen Futu had arranged everything, he secretly followed the incarnation's team with Wen Ruyu and Xiaobai.

The village where the incident occurred was quite far from the capital, and it took the group about a day to arrive on horseback.

Chen Futu and his two companions, hidden in the shadows, saw white mourning clothes fluttering in the village, and heard sobbing and wailing coming from every household.

According to Li Yuanfang, no fewer than thirty martial arts practitioners were killed in the village. Ji Wuchen, as a Martial Emperor, was easily killed, so ordinary people naturally couldn't stop him either. Fortunately, he didn't target the common people, otherwise it would have been another bloodbath.

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, please do justice for us!"

When the villagers heard that the Holy Emperor had arrived, they knelt down in a great chorus of sobs. Even the old and frail village chief wept bitterly. Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen so soon after the New Year?

He reassured everyone and then went to check on the situation at someone's house; he would be staying in the village that night.

News of the Holy Emperor's arrival spread quickly, and the people received compensation personally bestowed by the Holy Emperor.

Wen Ruyu looked around with her fair face upturned, thinking to herself, "Your Majesty, if they are coming for you, will they come directly to us?"

"Shut your mouth."

Chen Futu glared at her irritably, while Wen Ruyu chuckled, "I'm just giving you a heads-up. After all, we don't even know what that thing is, so we still need to be careful."

Night fell quickly.

The courtyard where the avatar was located was heavily guarded by the Imperial Guards, and Dian Wei and Luo Wushuang were both there, patrolling the village with a hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Compared to the safety of his avatar, Chen Futu was more worried about these two people.

In normal times, he would act as the de facto ruler of the country, so Dian Wei and Luo Wushuang became his personal guards, accompanying him day and night. I should have told them in advance not to come.

Dian Wei, riding a tall horse, shouted, "Everyone, be on your guard! Keep your eyes wide open tonight! If anything happens to the Holy Emperor, I won't let you off the hook!"

Luo Wushuang's current strength is only at the Martial Grandmaster level. After training in Baiyujing, the combat strength of the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is only around the level of Martial Artist. They seem weak, but in fact, they were extremely powerful when fighting against the Great Qian Dynasty. At that time, the strength of the fierce generals was only Martial Artist or Martial Master.

As time went by, Xiaobai fell asleep next to Chen Futu.

Wen Ruyu stared wide-eyed, looking left and right. She was very nervous. Her dark green robe and long hair fluttered in the wind, making her look both beautiful and timid.

Chen Futu frowned and said, "The wind is picking up."

"I know, it's normal to be cold right after the New Year, isn't it?"

Wen Ruyu muttered to herself, while Chen Futu said in a low voice, "This wind is strange; it has a rotten smell. Can't you smell it?"

"It really is."

Wen Ruyu sniffed hard.

Just then, intense battle fluctuations emanated from the room where the avatar was located, and at the same time, a system notification sounded.

[Detection indicates avatar has been killed by an unknown entity. Host, please be aware of your safety.]

"They were...they were killed!"

Chen Futu's body trembled, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

The real body is a martial arts saint, while the avatar possesses 80% of the real body's combat power, which is the peak strength of the Cloud-Piercing Realm. Even with such combat power, it was still instantly killed. What kind of thing is it?

The sleeping Little White sensed something and suddenly opened its big eyes. "There's something really strange. Little White feels very uncomfortable."

"Did you notice that?"

Chen Futu subconsciously pressed down on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

At this time, the village was in complete chaos.

"The Holy Emperor has been attacked!"

"Catch the assassin!"

Dian Wei and Luo Wushuang led their men into the courtyard. Chen Futu and the other two quickly leaped onto the roof, where they heard Dian Wei and Luo Wushuang's heart-wrenching cries, "Your Majesty—"

"Lord!"

The avatar was killed, the body was obliterated, and only a blood-soaked dragon robe and the Imperial Seal remained on the ground.

Chen Futu spread his hands and grabbed the Imperial Seal of the State, which flew into his palm. "Dian Hanhan, you two, stop crying! I'm still alive!"

As Dian Wei was wailing, he subconsciously looked up and realized that there were three people on the roof at some point, one of whom was none other than his lord!

Luo Wushuang looked bewildered; she didn't understand why there were two Holy Emperors.

"coming!"

Wen Ruyu suddenly exclaimed in surprise. The next second, a black wind swept over them, and the chilling aura made their souls tremble. Xiao Bai was furious, "Get out of the way!"

She slammed her small fist into Chen Futu's back, the terrifying force sweeping across the night sky. The black mist was instantly blasted more than ten meters away and landed on the street.

Chen Futu drew his Great Xia Dragon Sparrow sword and glared at the black mist, shouting, "Come out here!"

The black mist writhed, emitting a boyish laugh that sent shivers down one's spine.

Dian Wei and Luo Wushuang immediately led their troops to approach.

Chen Futu immediately stopped them, "Everyone, get out of the village!"

"But it's my lord!"

"This is a military order, retreat now!"

Chen Futu gave the order, and Dian Wei gritted his teeth, dragging Luo Wushuang and a group of soldiers slowly out of the village.

The people were so frightened that they dared not go out and held the door shut tightly.

The black wind whipped up paper money and white mourning clothes that flew wildly through the village. The black mist did not chase after Dian Wei, because its target was right in front of it.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is that thing? Just looking at it terrifies me."

Wen Ruyu trembled all over. She didn't know why a dignified martial arts saint would be afraid of a cloud of black mist.
