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

"Now that I've unleashed this trump card, how will you deal with it?"

Chen Futu toyed with the purple card with a smile, his gaze toward the mysterious man full of mockery.

The people present were terrified; the scene was like someone holding a nuclear bomb—it was terrifying.

The mysterious man looked at his disciple with distorted features, then at the purple card in Chen Futu's palm. He had considered killing Chen Futu instantly. If it were an ordinary saint or even a great saint holding the purple card, he was confident that he could kill the opponent before the card was activated. But who was Chen Futu?

The Great Xia Holy Emperor is suspected to have a protective mechanism left behind by a mysterious empress. If a sudden attack activates the empress's projection, he will be doomed.

The mysterious man thought it over and over, and finally took a deep breath without making a move. Instead, he said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I think this trump card must have been hard-won. Why don't we have a good talk? If you are willing to let go of my good-for-nothing disciple, I can grant you one request."

"Is it?"

Chen Futu maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

It's not like he's born with a gold mine; who would casually hand over their trump card? In fact, he never intended to use the Quasi-Emperor One-Strike Card at all, otherwise he would have already made his move. Now that the mysterious man has taken the initiative to lower himself and seek peace, it suits his wishes perfectly. So he said, "My request is very simple: serve as my bodyguard for a period of time."

"what?"

The mysterious man was furious. How could a dignified Quasi-Emperor at the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm be asked to serve as a guard for a Saint? How could he face anyone if word got out?

"You won't agree? In that case, let's settle this once and for all."

Chen Futu's expression turned solemn as he gripped the Quasi-Emperor Strike Card, ready to activate it. The mysterious man quickly interjected, "Don't act yet. Actually, it's not like we can't discuss this..."

Yes, he was scared.

The power emanating from Chen Futu's card is definitely an attack at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm. He can't withstand it unless he reaches the eighth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, in which case he might have a chance of survival.

Chen Futu smiled calmly: "Won't that make things difficult for you?"

“No problem.” The mysterious man sighed helplessly. “I can be your bodyguard, but not for too long, at most a year.”

"I'll give you a number, three years." Chen Futu held up three fingers, and the mysterious man was furious: "Are you really not afraid that I'll turn against you? If I make a move, I might die, but you won't get away with it either."

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just an incarnation anyway. I can just condense again after I die."

"you!"

The mysterious man nearly vomited blood on the spot.

Damn, that's so shameless!

How could he forget this? The person in front of him is not the Holy Emperor himself. What difference would it make if he killed him?

"Fine, fine, I promise to protect you for three years."

The mysterious man was completely outmatched; he couldn't beat him in a fight, nor could he kill him. He had never felt so frustrated before.

Chen Futu smiled slightly and put away the Quasi-Emperor Strike Card. The mysterious man breathed a sigh of relief when the card disappeared. To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he felt the threat of a sword hanging over his neck, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.

At this moment, Lin Tian witnessed Chen Futu negotiating with his master, and when his master even agreed to be his guard for three years, his eyes turned red with intense jealousy.

As for the others present, they were too far away to hear what Chen Futu and the mysterious quasi-emperor were saying, but seeing that the two sides had stopped fighting, they could guess that an agreement had been reached, and that the mysterious quasi-emperor was clearly at a disadvantage.

Such an ending made everyone shrink back like quails, and Zhou Baihe, the old ruler of the Dayu Dynasty, had a bitter expression on his face.

He made the wrong bet, and he has no idea what fate awaits him next.

"As for Lin Tian, ​​you know he destroyed my disciple's family and the sect behind him. This matter must be addressed." Chen Futu spoke seriously about the most important matter.

The mysterious man nodded. "What do you want?"

"Let's find a time to let the two of them fight it out, and let fate decide their fate."

"it is good."

The mysterious man did not refuse. He was, after all, a quasi-emperor level expert, and he knew that the hatred of annihilating a clan could not be easily forgotten. He decided that the juniors would handle their own affairs, and that the elders of both sides would not get involved, and that life and death would depend on their own abilities.

After some discussion, the two made a three-year agreement for Ling Xue and Lin Tian, ​​stipulating that the two disciples would fight on the day their protection period expired.

Seeing that the mysterious man agreed, Chen Futu turned and returned to Lin Ying's side. As for the mysterious man, he couldn't leave. He said to Lin Tian, ​​who had a sullen face, "Under the three-year agreement, this is all I can do to help you. You killed someone, so naturally they want revenge. Do you understand?"

"Disciple understands..." Lin Tian replied somewhat reluctantly.

The mysterious man then instructed, "Next, I will stay by the Holy Emperor's side to fulfill our agreement. Also, you are not allowed to secretly harm Ling Xue, otherwise it will be a unilateral breach of the agreement. Given the Holy Emperor's temper, I may not be able to protect you."

"Disciple understands."

Lin Tian lowered his head, a hint of malice and resentment flashing in his eyes.

The mysterious man took in his emotions and felt a pang of disappointment. His disciple was talented, but unfortunately, he was too cruel and twisted, and he wouldn't accept anyone more talented than him.

After giving his instructions, Lin Tian left with his men, while the mysterious man approached Chen Futu and said, "From this day forward, I will be your bodyguard. But we have an agreement beforehand: I will only protect your safety and will not interfere with anything else or take the initiative to attack."

"no problem."

Chen Futu smiled and looked at everyone present. "That concludes today's matter. Miss Lin, please handle the rest yourself."

Chen Futu gave Lin Ying plenty of face, and the latter's beautiful eyes sparkled as she stepped forward with a smile to pay her respects.

The Lin family patriarch transmitted his voice, saying, "Ying'er, this is your opportunity; you must seize it."

"Don't worry, Ancestor. Ying'er is not a heartless person. The Holy Emperor has done me a great favor, and I will repay his kindness."

"That's good. From now on, we'll rely on you for everything in the family."

With the Lin family patriarch gone, the next step is to figure out how to deal with Zhou Baihe.

Chen Futu thought Lin Ying would have Hua Yun kill the other party, but unexpectedly, she said something to Zhou Baihe through telepathy, which made Zhou Baihe's expression change repeatedly. In the end, he left with profuse thanks.

Chen Futu asked the mysterious man behind him curiously, "What did Lin Ying say to that old guy?"

The mysterious man said, "Lin Ying said she could let the Great Yu Dynasty go, but the dynasty must give her a fiefdom, as well as shops in various prefectures, and cooperate with her business. If Zhou Baihe performs well, she can ask the Celestial Clan to help him reach the Ancient Saint realm."

Chen Futu suddenly realized, "She is quite clever. If Zhou Baihe is eliminated, the Dayu Dynasty will definitely be on the verge of collapse, and there may even be war. This will not benefit any party. It is better to give him a small punishment as a warning and seize more benefits."

At this point, Chen Futu glanced at the blurry, mysterious figure again, "Since you're going to be my guard, I should at least see your true face, right? And what's your name?"
