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

"No rush, give Ling'er a bath and change her clothes first, we can talk about the rest later."

Chen Futu was unusually calm today, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor. The women exchanged bewildered glances, but none of them dared to ask any further questions.

Last time, Xuanyuan Rong was captured by the Divine Court Dynasty, the Fourth Ancestor was killed, and Chen Futu destroyed the Divine Court Dynasty.

Now that his own daughter has been bullied, would the Holy Emperor let his daughter suffer injustice for nothing?

Of course not, but there are still some routines to follow when doing things.

The Central Region is different from other realms. There are quite a few Great Emperors here. Chen Futu learned from Lin Ying that the lord of this city is surnamed Zhou and named Zhou Lie. He is only a Quasi-Emperor and not worth worrying about. However, his backing is Peach Blossom Divine Mountain, which is said to have two Great Emperors.

Rather than taking action now and deterring Peach Blossom Mountain from intervening, it would be better to have the City Lord's Mansion come looking for trouble first, thus giving Peach Blossom Mountain an excuse to take action and destroy its lineage.

Chen Futu has never been one to show mercy!

Zhang Sanfeng's aged face revealed a hint of evil. "The Holy Emperor is right. Since we're new here, we should let them take the initiative. Then we can openly plunder them. Of course, if any other Great Emperors want to help Peach Blossom Mountain, we should just kill them all."

"Old Zhang, you're truly amazing. Now we just need to wait for them to come knocking on our door. The City Lord's Mansion occupies a place, and even a mosquito's leg is still meat."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, everything understood without a word.

Chaos reigned within the city lord's mansion. The lady, seeing the mangled corpses being carried back, burst into tears, crying, "Master, stop your seclusion! Your son has been murdered! We must avenge him! Avenge him!"

Standing to the side, Zhou Fang, the second young master of the Zhou family, hung his head, but there was a hint of schadenfreude on his face.

The boss, who spent his days indulging in debauchery at brothels, was unaware that so many beautiful women had come to the city. It was he who deliberately leaked the information, and it was he who arranged for his strategist to advise the boss to first target that young girl, and then lure the group of beauties into throwing themselves at him. This was considered to be in the right.

As expected, the leader attacked the girl and was subsequently killed.

With the eldest son dead, the Zhou family's business will all belong to him, the second young master.

While his father was away and his mother was still crying, Zhou Fang retreated back to his room. At that moment, a dark figure quietly arrived.

Zhou Fang asked, "Have you investigated the background of that group of people?"

"It's been found out. It was Emperor Chen Futu of the Great Xia Dynasty who brought his whole family to the Central Region for a trip. The little girl was his daughter, and the girl holding the small cauldron and eating steamed buns was Princess Shengwu of the Great Xia Dynasty."

The man in black said this.

Zhou Fang was startled. "What did you say? Who is it?"

"It is absolutely true, it is indeed Chen Futu."

"hiss--"

Zhou Fang gasped.

He had secretly observed that Chen Futu and the old man hadn't gone out these past few days, while Xiaobai often took Chen Ling'er out for a stroll.

The powerful figure behind him saw that Xiaobai was very strong, so he used someone else to kill the boss. But he never expected that those people were actually the Holy Emperor's family. Now he's doomed!

Who was Chen Futu? A man who held grudges and sought revenge!

With a single disagreement, he destroyed the Yang Kingdom and the Divine Court, and forcefully killed the Emperor of the Divine Court. How could a small city lord's mansion possibly afford to offend such an existence?

If a powerful figure were to become enraged and wipe out the city lord's mansion with a single slap, wouldn't his entire scheme have been in vain, and he would also have to risk his own life and fortune?

Thinking of this, Zhou Fang hurriedly asked the man in black to notify his protectors to come over, as he wanted to immediately bring gifts to apologize!

Zhou Fang was quick, and since his father, the city lord, happened to be in seclusion, he had just enough time to apologize.

Before long, he arrived with a mysterious quasi-emperor.

"People from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Chen Futu looked around, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Zhou Fang felt a chill run down his spine. The quasi-emperor beside him looked at Zhang Sanfeng sitting to the side and felt something was off, but dared not say anything.

"Speak, what brings you here?"

Chen Futu suppressed the urge to kill immediately.

Zhou Fang hurriedly took out a mysterious jade box and said respectfully, "Senior, I've come to apologize. My elder brother has a bad temper and often bullies the common people. I never expected that he would offend your daughter today. His death is his own fault. My father is currently in seclusion, so I've come to apologize first."

"Is it?"

Chen Futu narrowed his eyes, and the latter immediately opened the jade box, revealing an ancient-looking pill.

Zhang Sanfeng transmitted his voice, saying, "It is a ninth-grade Quasi-Emperor Pill."

"Hehe, what a grand gesture. They recognized me and are afraid of being wiped out, so they've come to apologize in advance."

Chen Futu spoke frankly to Zhou Fang's face, which struck Zhou Fang like a thunderbolt. He hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, this is all my elder brother's own fault. I really didn't know about this matter. I hope Your Majesty will accept this gift as a token of my appreciation to the little princess."

As Zhou Fang said this, cold sweat had already soaked his back.

Chen Futu did not answer, but looked at Qin Liangyu. Today, it was her little darling who had been offended, so it was most appropriate for her to make the decision.

Qin Liangyu said, "We are not being unreasonable. I will accept the gifts. You may leave now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Empress. I will take my leave now."

Zhou Fang carefully put down the jade box and then led the mysterious quasi-emperor out of the mansion with trepidation.

Zhou Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief after completely leaving the neighborhood.

That was terrifying. He almost thought he was going to die, but he managed to survive by fighting for his life. Otherwise, when his hot-tempered father came out of seclusion, he wouldn't have been able to leave even if he wanted to.

The mysterious quasi-emperor beside him said, "Young master, the old man next to Chen Futu is very strange. I feel that he is like a great emperor."

"what?"

Zhou Fang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon hearing this.

The mysterious quasi-emperor said, "I'm not sure. He doesn't have the aura of an emperor, but he has a vast aura. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Forget about these things. Let's leave Tianque City immediately and return to the Path of Heaven."

Zhou Fang wished he could escape this area immediately, otherwise he always felt it wasn't safe enough, but it was a pity about the Zhou family's vast fortune.

The mysterious quasi-emperor pondered, "The Holy Emperor's former consort, Liu Longyue, has recently caused quite a stir. Why don't we lure Chen Futu there? No matter how they fight, in the end, we, the Absolute Path of Heaven, will definitely benefit."

"You mean you want to sit back and watch the tigers fight?" Zhou Fang's eyes lit up with interest.

"Liu Longyue's secrets are far-reaching. We have tried to capture her several times, but she always manages to escape. If Chen Futu gets involved, she will definitely fight with all sides. Then we can step in to clean up the mess and take Liu Longyue away. Young Master's status in the Absolute Path will definitely rise to another level. Even if we don't get the Zhou family's assets, it won't be a problem."

"Okay, just do as you say!"

After Zhou Fang finished his discussion with the mysterious quasi-emperor, he stayed somewhere in Tianque City, waiting for his mysterious father to emerge from his seclusion.
