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

The following morning, Liu Shenmiao, who had fainted, slowly regained consciousness. She remembered what had happened the day before and appeared listless.

Chen Futu concealed the truth about the Jia clan, only saying that her maid was dead, her guards were all dead, and she was all alone.

“I can help Miss Liu take the goods back. I also need to go to Fufeng City.”

Chen Futu made up a random excuse to get closer to the Liu family.

Upon hearing that the goods could be taken away, Liu Shenmiao was initially skeptical. However, when Chen Futu absorbed the goods with his spatial ring, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Although she was weak, she understood what spatial treasures meant.

At that moment, she felt a deep sense of awe towards Chen Futu and his servant.

Since Lian Ni Chang had cleared away all the corpses, Liu Shen Miao was now completely at ease.

The three continued their journey towards Fufeng City in a carriage.

Along the way, Chen Futu subtly asked Liu Shenmiao some questions, such as where the maids and guards came from.

Liu Shenmiao said in a low voice, "They are the family's regular guards, and the maids have been with me since they were little."

Chen Futu was not satisfied with this answer. "System, tell me what anecdote is about the origin of the Jia clan?"

[The A race needs a host to prevent its resurgence.]

"The difficulty is extraordinary. No matter how strong I am, I can't stop an entire tribe."

[The A-class race is extremely dangerous. Please complete the mission as much as possible.]

"It seems to be a special race similar to the Celestial Race. I can only say I'll do my best, but it's not my problem if I fail to complete the anecdote."

[The Jia clan holds grudges. If the host slaughters members of the Jia clan, it will be a fight to the death with no possibility of regret.]

"Can you be any more ridiculous? Isn't it nice to have my wife, kids, and a warm bed in Baiyujing?"

[Your wife and children cannot improve your cultivation level, so please stop nagging.]

"You're talking back now? I'll go to hell!"

Amidst the bickering between Chen Futu and the system, the carriage finally arrived at Fufeng City.

Fufeng City is just a small city in the southern part of Tianzhou, but as a city of Tianzhou, even a small city is far more vast and magnificent than the capital of the Central Plains dynasty.

Chen Futu entered the city and glanced around. The martial arts level in the city was not high. There were Martial Venerables, but no Grand Venerables or Saints were found.

"Wow, you're finally back! I was so worried about you, cousin!"

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Liu residence, a handsome young man came up to greet them. He had a smug smile and his eyes darted around Liu Shenmiao. He even glanced at Lian Nishang several times. Lian Nishang didn't make a move. She kept a cold face as if she were scrutinizing an ant.

Liu Shenmiao awkwardly introduced Chen Futu to her cousin, Xu Feng, who was staying at the Liu family's house.

"No need to explain, I understand. Cousins ​​and such are the most interesting."

"Mr. Qin, you..."

Chen Futu's sarcastic remark made Liu Shenmiao blush deeply.

Next, Chen Futu transmitted a message to Liu Shenmiao, suggesting that they find a place to store the goods, and have someone retrieve them to avoid exposing the spatial ring.

Chen Futu is currently unaware of the situation of the Jia clan and prefers to keep a low profile.

Liu Shenmiao didn't hesitate and immediately took Chen Futu to a luxurious mansion.

"Shenmiao, who is he?" Xu Feng was hostile to Chen Futu. Liu Shenmiao said seriously, "Mr. Qin is an honored guest of my Liu family. I hope my cousin will be polite to Mr. Qin and Miss Lian."

"Hehe, your demeanor is quite good, but your strength is still a bit weak."

Chen Futu's cultivation has now been suppressed to the Martial Grandmaster level, while Lian Ni Chang is just an ordinary woman, showing no signs of true essence fluctuations.

Chen Futu was too lazy to bother with this spoiled brat.

After Liu Shenmiao and Xu Feng left, Chen Futu released the goods so that Liu Shenmiao could pick them up at any time.

“Ni Chang, go into the city and see if there are any traces of the Jia clan.”

"Good host."

Lian Ni Chang accepted the order and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Futu walked alone through the city streets, contacting Lin Ying via a communication stone to ask if she knew anything about the Jia clan.

Lin Ying said, "I have read some ancient records, and there is indeed such a race as you mentioned. It was an ancient race that is said to have caused endless bloodshed before disappearing into the long river of history."

"An ancient race?"

Chen Futu's heart skipped a beat. Now he understood what the system meant by the huge difference in difficulty between the anecdotes.

This ethnic group didn't disappear; it was simply banned and has only recently resurfaced.

So who were the people who attacked the Liu family's caravan? Were they the catalyst that lured the Jia clan out into the world? Who was behind it all?

Chen Futu had too many questions in his mind. After thinking it over and over again, he asked Lin Ying where she was and if she could come to Fufeng City in person. There should be a Bright Moon Auction House here too.

“I’m too busy to go lately, but Hua Hua is going to Fufeng City to retrieve a treasure for the Celestial Clan. You can wait for her. By the way, did the Holy Emperor discover traces of the Jia Clan? This is no joke.”

"I can't say for sure. It's a lost ancient tribe. I'm investigating it. I'll let you know if I have any definite news."

Chen Futu lost his communication stone and was suddenly blocked in his way.

The newcomer was Xu Feng, who was accompanied by a group of carefree and irresponsible men.

Chen Futu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"

"Kid, I don't care what your relationship is with my cousin, but I'm warning you, you'd better not get any funny ideas, or I'll show you why flowers are so red." Xu Feng cursed, tilting his head back.

Chen Futu was overjoyed. "I'm new here and just happen to be itching for a beating. I'll give you a good thrashing to relieve my fatigue."

"What did you say!"

Xu Feng was about to utter some more harsh words when Chen Futu kicked him, pinning the young master to the ground and giving him a good beating. The young master ended up with a bruised and swollen face, which caused the passersby nearby to burst into laughter.

"Kid, I'll remember you. You wait for me—"

Xu Feng and his gang of men stumbled away, covering their faces, which was quite a sight.

Chen Futu paid no attention to such a spoiled brat. He had planned to visit the Bright Moon Auction House when the system notification sounded again.

Ding!

[Detected the second stage of the A race's origin. Please kill the Liu family patriarch.]

"What's the matter?"

[The immortal ancestor of the Liu family, whose A-clan bloodline is about to be restored for unknown reasons, is now dead. Please suppress and kill him to prevent him from sweeping through the Liu family.]

"This plot sounds familiar?"

It seems to be one of Uncle Nine's movie series, right?

The dog system really knows how to play games.

Following the coordinates left by the system, Chen Futu arrived at the desolate mountain south of the city, where he saw the Liu family busy performing ancestral rites. An imperceptible crack appeared on the grave, but no one in the Liu family noticed it.

Lian Nishang suddenly appeared beside her and transmitted her voice, "Master, something is wrong with the old ancestor of the Liu family who is lying in the coffin. His seven orifices are filled with strange black energy."

Chen Futu also saw it. Now that he had grasped a wisp of the Emperor's Dao spatial rules, his eyesight could penetrate the tomb and he saw the Liu family patriarch lying in the coffin, wearing a black burial shroud and with hair on his face.
