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

The favorability rating of Clan A is related to the host's friend or foe relationship with Clan A after their birth.

"So, the favorability of the Jia clan is very important, huh? According to you, the emergence of the Jia clan is inevitable. Since I can't stop their overwhelming power by myself, why should I be their enemy? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate their favor?"

After careful consideration, Chen Futu chose the second option to let Liu Shenmiao go, and at the same time gave up the mission of killing Liu Shenmiao in the third stage of the story.

Nowadays, even a Quasi-Emperor weapon and a Guardian don't offer much of an advantage, unless an Emperor-level trump card is available.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 50 points of favorability with the A clan.]

"Ni Chang, stop!"

Chen Futu stopped Lian Nishang, who was about to kill someone. The latter paused, immediately stopped, and quietly returned to his side.

Upon seeing this, Liu Shenmiao, who was furious, softened her expression, and a hint of gratitude flickered in her pale golden eyes. "You really won't kill me?"

"The emergence of the Jia clan is inevitable. Even if I kill you, I cannot stop this glorious era. I'm just curious, what do you know?"

Chen Futu raised a question.

Liu Shenmiao explained, "Our ancestor killed my father, severing my only kinship bond. I then awakened my long-dormant ancient memories. We are the supreme race, and my Jia clan is the protagonist of this era. It is time for us to emerge."

"So young, yet so arrogant," Chen Futu muttered. "Do you know who's pulling the strings behind the scenes? The ones who attacked the caravan, right? As more and more people around you die, your memories gradually return?"

"Yes, but I don't know who is behind it. The people who attacked us were tainted by the earth's energy, which allowed my people to revert to their original form."

"Are you that ugly too?"

“Mr. Qin, please do not misunderstand the Jia Clan. The Jia Clan is not a corpse. Those who died were only to awaken my memories. My ancestor killed my father only to honor the call of the ancient times, sever my kinship ties, and completely awaken me. Now that I am awake, the people of the Jia Clan should also awaken.”

At this point, Liu Shenmiao proudly raised both arms.

At this moment, she resembled an empress reigning over the world. Chen Futu and Lian Nishang's gazes seemed to transcend time and space, witnessing an ancient overlord rising from the dust.

"Wow, they've really hidden it well."

The two sensed a dark aura in the city, indicating that the bloodline of the Jia clan was reviving. Just as the system had said, Liu Shenmiao was crucial.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your repeated help. I hereby promise that you will be a friend of my Jia clan forever. Just say the word and my Jia clan will clear away all obstacles for you."

Chen Futu stared at Liu Shenmiao's arrogant face, and after a long while, he managed to utter a single, "Awesome!"

It's not hard to see from Liu Shenmiao's performance that the Jia Clan is truly powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant as to say they would sweep everything away in this era where Great Emperors exist. Therefore, it's highly likely that there is an ancient, long-forgotten Great Emperor behind the Jia Clan!

The mere thought of this is chilling.

"This is a gift of gratitude from my Jia clan. Please accept it."

Liu Shenmiao took out a small black box and handed it over. Inside was a section of finger bone, white and with blood-red lines on it.

"what is this?"

"As you can see, this is a finger bone. Keep it; it will be of great use to you."

"I will accept such a generous gift, but I still want to ask, will you not bring disaster to the world?" Chen Futu asked seriously, as he did not want to release a monster race to bring calamity to the world.

Liu Shenmiao shook his head. "Mr. Qin, please rest assured, we will only punish those who were hostile to our race in the past. You can regard our race as the Celestial Race."

"That's good. Also, don't disturb the Bright Moon Auction House. The Bright Moon Pavilion Master is my friend."

"I will remember this, Mr. Qin, please rest assured."

Liu Shenmiao smiled radiantly. Just then, the person in the coffin suddenly sat up and stared straight at Chen Futu and Lian Nishang.

“Father, these two are friends of my clan.”

Liu Shenmiao spoke, and the latter nodded stiffly before lying back down.

"In that case, we'll take our leave now."

Chen Futu felt uneasy all over. The Jia clan was too strange, as if they had blurred the line between life and death. If everyone had two lives, it would be too terrifying.

As Chen Futu and Lian Nishang walked out of the Liu family's house, many servants in the courtyard stared at them with sinister expressions, looking as eerie as puppets on strings.

The city was quiet. The two walked down the street, and passersby mechanically turned around to stare at them. Among them were men and women, young and old. Their life levels had been elevated, their bloodlines had been revived, and their cultivation was rapidly soaring.

Ding!

[This episode of the anecdote has ended because the host has given up on killing Liu Shenmiao.]

The system assigns a score based on the host's completion rate of the assigned tasks.

The host did not reduce the Liu family patriarch to ashes.

The host prevented Liu Shenmiao from taking revenge on everyone, targeting only the culprit.

The host gained the friendship of Clan A.

[The host received a minor drawback in this anecdote.]

"A minor flaw? Is it because some of the Jia tribesmen were killed during the caravan and inn incidents? Liu Shenmiao had no objections, so who are you to spout nonsense?"

[Rewards for this anecdote are now being distributed]

The host is rewarded with a wisp of the Emperor's Sword Rules, enabling him to comprehend the sixth and seventh swords of the Great Grade Heavenly Sword Technique.

The host is rewarded with the third seal of the Imperial Seal Technique, capable of covering mountains and filling seas.

The host is rewarded with the third iteration of the Nine-Turn Divine Dragon Jade, the Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl.

The system's rewards this time were quite generous. As for the sudden end of the story, Chen Futu didn't feel regretful. The system had said that the difficulty of this mission varied too much, and there was one chance to help. This meant that if the story had gone on to the end, it might have encountered a Quasi-Emperor or even an Emperor. In that case, it would have been better not to fight such an opponent. He was quite satisfied with the result.

"Mr. Qin, my young lady says she wants to integrate the clan, so please try not to go out these next few days."

A person came up to them, and was very polite.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Futu led Lian Nishang into Mingyue Pavilion to wait for Huahua.

In fact, there are many ordinary martial artists in this city. The awakening of the bloodline of the Jia clan will naturally cause a commotion. What Liu Shenmiao wants to do is to expel outsiders and take control of Fufeng City. Of course, she promised not to cause a blood calamity, so there is no need to worry about her killing innocent people indiscriminately.

The Bright Moon Pavilion has closed down, and the Grand Master-level steward of the Bright Moon Pavilion has discovered the changes in the city.

Chen Futu gave Lian Nishang orders to keep an eye on the area outside the city. If Hua Hua arrived, she was to be brought into the city and not to fight with the Jia clan.

"Here."

Lian Ni Chang accepted the order and left.

As expected, the city then began to drive out ordinary martial artists. Those who tried to resist were all beaten up and thrown out of the city.

"Hehehe, so I am a nobleman of the Jia clan."

Xu Feng stood on a rooftop in the city, laughing wildly, then stared intently at Mingyue Pavilion, shouting, "Mine, mine, all of it is mine!"
