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

"The Holy Emperor of Great Xia? He came to the Northern Region and killed five Quasi-Emperors in a row?" Chen Ranran's eyes were full of astonishment. "So my master is this powerful? He is actually the ruler of a country. So I am also a noble person."

Thinking of this, Chen Ranran put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily, extremely smug.

Zhao Lingxiao sighed helplessly; this junior sister's thought process was indeed different from others.

On the other side, the two quasi-emperors of the Celestial Clan had led their clansmen to pay homage to the Holy Emperor. Even Hua Hua had put aside her usual mischievousness and appeared extremely respectful.

Chen Futu looked at her strangely, "I'm not used to you being so quiet."

"Hehe, you saved my clan, so how can I be so unruly?" Hua Hua stuck out her tongue.

The Heavenly Sound Ancestor immediately ordered all the elders to quickly lead people to treat the clansmen in the various settlements and to take stock of the losses. Then he added, "I would like to trouble the Holy Emperor to go with us to the mines to take a look."

Chen Futu did not refuse; he also wanted to know where the Unspeakable had escaped from.

The group arrived at a collapsed mine. As they arrived, some scattered black mist retreated into the depths of the mine, indicating that there were ley lines below.

Chen Futu asked, "Did Hua Hua take a treasure from the auction house before? Is it related to this?"

"What the Holy Emperor said is true. When our clan's mines were dug deep, they connected to the earth's veins, and black mist began to emanate from them. We wanted to suppress it with array patterns, but we lacked some key materials, so we sent Hua Hua to fetch them. Unfortunately, we were too late."

According to the Heavenly Sound Ancestor, the strange curse beneath the earth's veins was extremely insidious and cunning. It first possessed a disciple and hid itself, then, once the array patterns were set up, it destroyed the array base when no one was paying attention, rendering all the Heavenly Clan's efforts futile.

Chen Futu thought for a moment, then used a drop of Dragon Emperor's blood to imprint himself near the collapsed mine exit.

The blood of the Dragon Emperor transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon totem, which contained not only the Dragon Emperor's aura but also the power of the imperial way.

In this way, the things in the earth's veins will not come out again for a short period of time.

As I said before, Chen Futu's curse is a natural counter to the earth's vein curse. With his current Great Sage cultivation, a single drop of his blood would be enough to suppress it.

Seeing that Chen Futu had no more worries, the Heavenly Sound Ancestor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then warmly invited the three of them to the Holy Mountain for a chat.

Chen Futu also learned the name of another quasi-emperor, Tianlan, and the name of the beautiful woman, Yueji.

The sacred mountain was not damaged much. Previously, the black mist had intensified its encirclement of the sacred mountain, trapping the two quasi-emperors and ancient saints such as Yue Ji in the mountain-protecting formation. If the two quasi-emperors and several elders had been infected, the casualties of the Celestial Clan would have been even more severe.

The banquet was filled with music, dance, and butterflies; the Celestial Clan had fulfilled their duty as hosts.

Chen Ranran and Huahua got together and felt like they had known each other for a long time.

Chen Ranran specifically inquired about the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty from Hua Hua, asking what kind of dynasty it was.

Hua Hua started talking, recounting how Chen Futu left the capital many years ago, occupied the northern frontier, became king, and eventually unified the world. Inevitably, she mentioned some historical figures, such as Qin Liangyu, Zhuge Liang, and Guan Yu.

"What? What? What?!" Chen Ranran stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Zhuge Liang? Qin Liangyu?"

"Yes, it must be the team left by the old King of Zhenbei for the Holy Emperor. If it weren't for those peerless generals, it wouldn't have been so easy for the Holy Emperor to take over the Great Qian Dynasty." Hua Hua said with a sigh.

Chen Ranran wondered to herself, "Were they natives, or was the deceased Prince of Zhenbei a time traveler?"

Chen Futu hadn't expected Chen Ranran to pin the title of transmigrator on the Prince of Zhenbei, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After the banquet, Chen Ranran came over and asked strangely, "Master, I have something to ask you."

"You said."

"Odd changes to even."

"what?"

"The Wumeng Mountains are connected to mountains beyond mountains."

"what?"

Chen Futu feigned suspicion.

Chen Ranran scratched her head sheepishly, "Hehe, this is a proverb from my hometown."

She said this aloud, but in her heart she was muttering, "It seems that my cheap master is not a time traveler, but the Prince of Zhenbei is. That's why he left behind Zhuge Liang and the others as a foundation. It's a pity that the Prince of Zhenbei has passed away. If I had come a few years earlier, I could have changed the ending, right?"

Chen Futu listened to Chen Ranran's thoughts with his telepathic abilities and couldn't help but smile. Since she had pinned the title of transmigrator on her father, so be it.

To dispel her doubts, Chen Futu briefly recounted his past experiences to her, such as describing Zhuge Liang and others as the legacy left behind by the Prince of Zhenbei, who feared that his achievements in the northern frontier would overshadow his own and lead to his purge, in order to protect his wife and children.

"really!"

Chen Ranran looked excited, then said bitterly, "That Daqian really deserves to die!"

Whether it was the tragic death of a transmigrator with a system or the fact that Zhuge Liang and others were natives, Chen Ran felt sorry for the Prince of Zhenbei for a long time, and then excitedly said, "Master, I heard that there are also General Qin, Li Xiuning and Zhang Sanfeng?"

"Yes."

"If Zhang Sanfeng existed, why did the Prince of Zhenbei still perish?"

"Because the lineage in Lizhou was severed, it wasn't until later, when we learned about the system of the outer realms, that we discovered Lizhou was a place of exile, and everyone's cultivation gradually improved."

Chen Futu said this.

Chen Ranran suddenly realized, "I see... So when are we going back to Lizhou?"

She wanted to meet legendary historical figures and incredibly powerful martial arts masters.

Chen Futu smiled and said, "I'll let you see him when I have time."

"Great! I want to see the Eastern Cult Leader first! The sun rises in the east, and I am invincible!"

As a girl, Chen Ranran has watched many versions of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and Dongfang Bubai is arguably the most unique character in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

After Chen Ranran left excitedly, Chen Futu felt at ease.

Chen Ranran mistakenly believed that Zhuge Liang and others were subordinates of the Prince of Zhenbei. Therefore, when other historical figures appeared in the future, they would have an excuse to claim that as the Prince of Zhenbei's own son, it was normal for him to have some of his father's legacy.

Over the next few days, Chen Futu and his two disciples remained in the Celestial Tribe.

Chen Futu had two purposes: first, to sit and discuss the Dao with the elders of the Celestial Clan, and second, to discuss matters concerning Lizhou.

Lizhou is coveted by all sides, and Huahua was once sent by the Celestial Clan to Lizhou to investigate. So what secrets does Lizhou hold?

Ancestor Tianyin said, "In ancient times, Lizhou was part of the Northern Region. Later, an invasion by alien races shattered the boundary, leaving Lizhou isolated overseas. Later, a battle at the level of an emperor broke out within Lizhou, causing widespread suffering and the formation of the Black Sand Sea."

"An invasion by alien races?" Chen Futu grasped the key point.

"This world holds many secrets. The ancient races were not only the Celestial Race, the Spirit Race, and the Armor Race, but also other races. Some races were primitive and brutal, such as the Armor Race, which disappeared into the dust of history because of their excessive violence."

"The great war in ancient times took place on the northern border, but we don't know which race it was, because too many people died at that time. Our Celestial Clan's ancestor also died in it. He was a quasi-emperor who was about to reach the peak of the Great Emperor realm, but he could not escape the calamity."
