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

Several days later, Chen Futu personally refined an Emperor-level Nirvana Pill for the Second Madam to take.

The second wife's real name was Tai Qingyu. She was as gentle as her name suggested. She did all the odds and ends at the ordinary thatched cottage and even enjoyed it.

She wasn't very interested in the regeneration of her divine bones; she devoted all her energy to taking care of Xiaobai and her two children.

Chen Futu did not question her choice. She had already taken the medicine, and unless she had an epiphany or a special opportunity, her divine bones would not regenerate.

According to Fu Shuang, such a person is very likely to break through the past and establish a new one at a certain moment, stepping into an extremely high realm. It is even possible to enter the Great Emperor realm in an instant. The key is to look at her temperament and comprehension.

In short, all the hardships she has experienced in the past are like trials in the mortal world, which may at some point transform into an opportunity for her to rise to prominence and stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.

Back to Xiaobai and Chen Ling'er, the two of them were extremely restless. In their spare time, they would drag Xu Chen out of the thatched cottage and wreak havoc, causing chaos in Danshan.

Now all the disciples of Danshan know that the master of the thatched cottage has taken in three more little fellows as disciples.

Chen Futu's attention was not on the thatched cottage; he spent most of his time using the earth's veins to deduce the turmoil in the world.

The ley lines of the Boundless Sea are the most twisted, filled with dark cursed fire that even shows signs of spreading outwards. Meanwhile, Zhang Shouren and other outcasts who escaped to various regions are hiding behind the scenes and wreaking havoc one after another.

The pursuit and interception by the Great Emperor and the Quasi-Emperor failed to kill them; instead, it fueled their ferocity.

The Jia clan gathered five Heavenly Demon Generals, while the remaining Heavenly Demon General was suppressed in the Eastern Sea Abyss. The bottomless abyss was filled with boundless cursed flames, and the Jia clan dared not venture in, only able to watch helplessly. For this, they even fought a battle with the Blue Emperor's Wuwang Sea Clan. Both sides suffered losses, with many Saints dying, but there were no casualties among the Emperors.

Recently, apart from those undead monsters, the Buddhist land has shown signs of revival.

Using the continent's ley lines, Chen Futu detected the aura of the Buddha Flower in the southern border region. It was likely that the Buddhist Supreme Emperor who had escaped last time was secretly causing trouble. He had captured many martial arts experts and was using their bodies to cultivate new varieties of Buddha Flowers, hoping to take another step into the realm of gods.

Chen Futu did not seek to attack him. It was unrealistic for him to kill a veteran Supreme Emperor with his current peak Saint Venerable cultivation, and he also did not know when the system would be upgraded.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Futu refined a large batch of high-quality pills for Lizhou, which angered Danshan.

Because the thatched cottage only takes in medicine and doesn't give it out except for the monthly payment of pills, and Chen Futu always asks for precious medicinal materials, Danshan would have turned against them long ago if it weren't for his fear of Fu Shuang.

Of course, Chen Futu wouldn't just keep getting the medicinal herbs for free. He brought a lot of Inula japonica from the flower sea to Danshan. Sure enough, this special medicinal herb, which could improve the quality of pills and was now extinct, dissipated a lot of the resentment from the various peaks.

“Father, Ling’er wants to go down the mountain with her aunt to do a mission.”

Ling'er hugged Chen Futu's leg and acted coquettishly.

Recently, Xiaobai took on a demon-slaying mission, which Fu Shuang specifically sent her down the mountain to verify the effects of her cultivation.

Xiao Bai's current normal combat strength has reached the level of a quasi-emperor. Chen Futu felt that if Xiao Bai went there, he would most likely encounter an emperor-level powerhouse. However, Ling'er insisted on going, and Chen Futu had no choice but to agree.

“You can go and take a look too,” Fu Shuang said.

Chen Futu asked, "What does 'demon-slaying mission' mean?"

"An ancient battlefield in the southeast of the Central Region has changed. The residents of nearby towns have been wiped out, with as many as a million dead. It seems that they were all killed in just two or three days. If you go to the ancient battlefield, you may have some encounters."

"That's interesting. I can secretly follow them and find out what's going on."

Chen Futu was very interested in the ancient battlefields of the Central Region.

In such a vast realm, there are always some unknown secrets, among which there may well be the inheritance of a martial god.

As for the so-called martial god inheritance in Lizhou, no one knows where it is.

In the days that followed, the disciples of Danshan set off in a grand procession. The weakest among them were all at the Martial Emperor level, and the leader was none other than the Fifth Elder, who was at the Great Emperor level.

Chen Futu was willing to secretly accompany them because of this old Deng who was leading the team. If he secretly attacked Xiao Ling'er or Xiao Bai, then don't blame the Holy Emperor for showing no mercy to Danshan and eliminating the old Deng.

Besides Danshan, disciples from various powerful forces and families are also on this trip. It is said that the descendants of many ancient dynasties in the Central Region have also set off.

The clashes between the various factions at the ancient battlefield are inevitable, and who knows how many more people will die.

Chen Futu secretly followed Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Bai's flying boat to protect them.

Through his senses, he could detect that the Fifth Elder, Ge Qing, had been secretly observing the two girls. Chen Futu still remembered the battle at Dahuang Mountain clearly, and if given the chance, he would eliminate this potential threat.

After a full ten days, the flying boat finally crossed numerous teleportation arrays and arrived at the ancient battlefield in the southeastern corner of the Central Region.

The so-called ancient battlefield is actually located in a collapsed mountain, and as Fu Shuang said, the residents of the nearby towns were all slaughtered. No one knows who did it, but they were extremely vicious, not even sparing infants in their swaddling clothes, who were sucked dry.

Chen Futu wandered alone through the empty, desolate streets, surrounded by withered skin and clothes.

A gust of wind blew, and the bone meal inside the shrunken clothes vanished completely.

"This scene looks familiar."

Chen Futu recalled the scene of Cell sucking people's flesh and blood, which was extremely similar to the scene before him.

Before long, Chen Futu arrived at the city lord's mansion. According to intelligence, the city lord was an ancient saint, but he was also dead. He had been drained of his life force and was now just a withered human skin. A strong wind blew by, and the skin swayed gently, as if silently telling a story.

"It seems that something unexpected has happened on the ancient battlefield, and a truly terrifying event is about to unfold."

Chen Futu felt a heaviness in his heart.

Ling'er and Xiaobai are simple-minded. If they encounter an opponent who is fair and square, it's fine. But if they encounter an opponent who is good at sneak attacks, the two of them really can't handle it.

At this moment, the flying ships of various forces arrived, and the young disciples disembarked one after another, wandering around the towns suffering from the disaster.

Young people are ultimately not mature enough; seeing such terrifying scenes makes their scalps tingle.

The sight of clothes and human skin scattered all over the city was more bizarre and thrilling than seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Tell me, who did this?"

"Who knows? It absorbs the essence of human flesh and bone. No wonder it's called a demon-slaying mission. The one who does this must be an unparalleled demon."

"It's so dangerous, should we still go deeper?"

"Of course we need to find the source, otherwise more people will be killed."

Disciples from various factions discussed the matter, some with fear, others with excitement.

The leaders and elders were in unison and issued strict orders to their disciples: no one was allowed to go out alone; if they did, they had to go out in groups and carry the necessary tokens. If they found the mastermind behind the operation, they were to send a signal immediately and were not allowed to fight alone.

Chen Futu concealed his presence and used the earth's veins to search for the culprit behind the massacre, but he couldn't find a single ghost. So the other party wasn't hiding in the earth's veins; perhaps they were lurking somewhere, watching these fresh prey who had delivered themselves to their doorstep.
