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

"With this weapon in hand, I can rest assured when my wife is out and about," Chen Futu said with a smile.

"When does Your Majesty plan to go to Zhongzhou? Will you wait until the Han Sea is recovered before going?"

Qin Liangyu asked gently.

Chen Futu said, "The situation in the Han Hai is somewhat complicated. It's adjacent to the Wu Wang Hai, so it won't be easy to conquer. Even if Lian Ni Chang goes to help the Prime Minister, it will take a lot of time. So I plan to go to Zhong Zhou first. Who will you take with you, my wife?"

"I want to take all the concubines from the harem with me."

Empress Qin Liangyu did not want to show favoritism. Recently, the women in the harem had all had their own things to do and had helped the Great Xia Dynasty a lot. It was good for the whole family to go out together.

This is a rare opportunity; there may not be another chance to go to the Central Region.

"Okay, my wife decides. We'll set off in three days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Liangyu was very pleased and sent someone to inform the concubines in the harem overnight.

As expected, the group of women were thrilled.

The following morning, Li Xiuning, Consort Mo, Consort Ge, Yan Qing, Liang Xuan'er, Zhao Xi'er, and Guan Xing all arrived at Qin Liangyu's palace.

This was the first time everyone had gone out together, so naturally everyone was extremely excited.

Li Xiuning suggested bringing the two children, and Qin Liangyu agreed.

Chen Futu asked Xi Daoren to temporarily go to Shayan to replace Zhang Sanfeng in guarding it, since his wives all wanted to go out, so he had to bring forward his trip with Lao Zhang.

When Xi Daoren arrived at the desert and saw Zhang Sanfeng, he was immediately startled. It was the first time he had ever heard of a great emperor in Lizhou, and not just any ordinary one!

The white-haired Zhang Sanfeng gave Xi Daoren a very special feeling. Unlike other emperors, he seemed more like an immortal who was above all living beings.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Zhang Sanfeng didn't say much. He bid farewell to Xi Daoren, took his steps, and arrived in the capital in just a few breaths. This was the great power of the Emperor.

Chen Futu thought that Zhang Sanfeng's first thing to do upon returning would be to go to Baiyujing, but he ended up looking for Xiaobai first.

Chen Futu had almost forgotten that Old Zhang was Xiaobai's master.

He sought out Xiaobai to test Xiaobai's cultivation level. As expected, Xiaobai fought with him and was suppressed by him with a single palm strike.

Chen Futu didn't see the details, but when Xiaobai came back, she was covered in dust and dirt, and she kept saying that when she grew up, she would definitely beat up her master.

Three days later, the group arrived at the Sun Moon Cult via a teleportation array.

Besides the concubines from the harem, the group that came with them included the Four Beauties, Ake, and four maids: Xuanyuan Rong and Chen Yuling. Zhao Lingxiao, however, chose to stay in Baiyujing to cultivate in seclusion.

Chi Xiao was in a courtyard of the Sun Moon Sect when he sensed Chen Futu's arrival. In a daze, Chen Futu was right in front of him. Before he could speak, Zhang Sanfeng's Zhenwu Sword was held against his neck, and he immediately shuddered.

The old Taoist priest, with his otherworldly air, was staring at him gloomily. The old man looked ordinary and there was no fluctuation of his aura around him, just like an ordinary person. But the vast aura made Chi Xiao feel a chill down his spine.

He couldn't see through the old man; he was either an ordinary person or a great emperor.

It's impossible for an ordinary person to instantly hold a sword to the neck of a quasi-emperor, so there's only one possibility: this old guy is an emperor, and not just any ordinary emperor.

Gulu!

Chi Xiao swallowed hard, quickly took a step back, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Holy Emperor, greetings, senior."

Seeing that he meant no harm, Zhang Sanfeng put the Zhenwu Sword away.

Chen Futu almost laughed. Who said there was no great emperor in Lizhou?

With Zhang Sanfeng, a terrestrial immortal, he's more than enough to give the emperors of this world a hard time. As for Chi Xiao, a quasi-emperor who cultivates the rules of fire, he's no match for Zhang Sanfeng.

"Chixiao, I plan to take my family on a tour of Zhongzhou. Would you like to come along?" Chen Futu asked.

Chi Xiao nodded quickly. He had been gone for a while and it was time to go back and visit.

Chen Futu chose to stay at the Sun Moon Sect for two days and asked someone to inquire whether anyone from the Bright Moon Pavilion and the Purple Dew Academy could accompany him. After all, the Central Region was far away, and it was a rare opportunity to go there. If they went together, they could look out for each other.

As expected, Lin Ying rushed over, and Wang Qianshan and three disciples from Zilu Academy arrived.

The old ancestor has been abducted by the Holy Emperor; they need to find out what's going on.

As for the Sun Moon Cult, Dongfang Bubai is going to try to break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm soon, so he won't be going. Only Xue Tong and Jialan will go to the Central Region to take a look.

A few days later, Lin Ying brought in a magnificent giant airship, and the group boarded it and crossed the sea via a teleportation array.

The journey to the Central Region is long and will take at least one or two months. Fortunately, there are many people on the ship, making it lively and not a problem to have anyone to talk to.

When Lin Ying learned that Qin Liangyu was the Empress, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Having shed her military uniform, Qin Liangyu possessed both the nobility of an empress and the carefree spirit of a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who lives and breathes the martial arts world), which Lin Ying found quite appealing. Within two days, the two had become acquainted.

Of course, Li Xiuning was also a good talker, and with the two children running around and the blue Qilin cub, everyone was in high spirits along the way.

Zhang Sanfeng spent most of his time meditating on the flying boat.

Chi Xiao felt that Zhang Sanfeng was targeting him intentionally or unintentionally, making him afraid to even breathe.

Chen Futu transmitted his voice, "Don't be nervous. As long as you don't harm the team, the Grand Preceptor will not hold it against you."

Chi Xiao chuckled upon hearing this.

He used to harbor thoughts of dealing with the Holy Emperor, but now he has none of those thoughts at all.

The strength of Li Zhou was far more terrifying than he had imagined. With this old man around, the emperors would have to think twice before attacking Li Zhou in the future. Not to mention, there was also Chen Futu, a prodigy who could kill an emperor with a single sword.

The sights along the way as the flying boat traversed the waters were captivating.

Chen Futu held Chen Ling'er as they admired the scenery along the way. The little girl was so excited that she spread her magnificent wings, which were her precious innate treasure, the Nine Heavens Wings.

This was the first time the wings had appeared, and not only the crowd, but even Chen Futu and Zhang Sanfeng were surprised.

The material of the Nine Heavens Wings is unknown, but they are deeply bound to Chen Ling'er's bloodline.

"Ling'er, you are not allowed to use these wings in front of outsiders."

Chen Futu affectionately pinched the little girl's cheek. Chen Ling'er shook her head, her two little tufts swinging back and forth, looking extremely cute. "No, Father, Ling'er likes these wings. They fly so fast."

"You can only use it when you grow up, otherwise some kidnappers will take you away and you will never see your father and mother again."

Chen Futu threatened her with a stern face. The little girl tilted her head, made a face, and finally reluctantly put her wings away.

Chen Futu and Qin Liangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Nine Heavens Wings exposed, those shameless imperial experts are highly likely to try and plunder them. Chen Futu absolutely cannot allow his daughter to be exposed to danger.

Everyone could see that the Holy Emperor favored the little princess more than the Crown Prince.

This displeased Li Xiuning, who secretly pinched him before Chen Futu picked up Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng suddenly pointed to the Boundless Sea, "Father, I sensed some strange energy."
