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

The old man who suddenly appeared stomped on the ground, forcing Ling Xue, who was walking under the sand, to come out.

“Ancient Sage!” Ling Xue looked at the old man blocking her way, her expression extremely grim.

The old man sneered, "You little brat from out of town, you dare to steal from my Black Wolf Legion? Don't you even know who's in charge of Golden Sand City?"

The other party was none other than Black Hawk, the great-grandfather of the Black Wolf Legion.

Today's operation was originally intended to be Operation Falcon, using the remaining map to capture these saints and force them to serve the Black Wolf Legion, but things went wrong halfway through.

As they were talking, the powerful members of the Black Wolf Legion arrived. Their strength was comparable to that of the saints who had come to seize the treasure today, but the Black Wolf side had an ancient saint among them.

As long as the saints present are held back, the ancient saints can eliminate them one by one, so they have no choice but to surrender.

"Hand over the ring, and I'll spare your life."

The shadowy figure stretched out his hand, his expression serious.

Ling Xue assumed a fighting stance, her eyes darting around, searching for any possible escape route.

"Wow, it's so lively here."

Just as tensions were about to rise, Chen Futu suddenly entered the scene, startling everyone present. They realized that he was an unfamiliar saint, whose cultivation level was probably at the Saint King level.

Ling Xue couldn't recognize her master, who had concealed his appearance, but she knew how to seize opportunities. Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Chen Futu, she suddenly fled towards the battlefield behind them.

Black Hawk's face darkened. "You little brat, you think you can just leave? Dream on!"

He raised his hand and delivered a fierce blow to Ling Xue's back. He was an ancient saint-level expert, and with Ling Xue's current combat strength, she would be crippled or killed if she took a hit from him.

Before his attack could land, Chen Futu was instantly beside Ling Xue and shoved her away.

Loud bang!

Black Hawk's strike created a terrifying path, instantly killing any saints within its range who couldn't dodge in time, leaving behind a pool of blood.

"Thank you, sir."

Ling Xue looked at the terrifying destructive effect with surprise and uncertainty, and was extremely grateful to Chen Futu.

Chen Futu taunted, "I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at running away. Do you want me to take you with me?"

Ling Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Chen Futu pulled her to his side, and looking behind them, Black Hawk had already caught up.

"We'll accept the incomplete map. See you later."

After saying this, Chen Futu soared to great speed, disappearing in an instant like a streak of light.

Black Hawk didn't expect the kid who suddenly appeared to be so fast. By the time he reacted, the two of them had already disappeared.

"You damn bastard, you better pray I don't run into you, or I'll skin you alive!"

How could Black Hawk possibly catch up with the speed of the Supreme Emperor? All that remained was impotent rage.

Chen Futu didn't kill Black Hawk because there was no enmity between them. He was just there to observe, and he couldn't just kill someone at will because of a disagreement. Otherwise, what would be the difference between him and the curse of the earth veins?

In a short while, Chen Futu brought Ling Xue to Dafeng City.

Ling Xue removed her hood and mask, revealing her exquisite, snow-white face. "Thank you, friend. I haven't had a chance to ask for your guidance yet."

"List."

"So it's Brother Chen."

Ling Xue never dreamed that the person in front of her was her beloved master.

Seeing that she didn't recognize him, Chen Futu said with a mischievous grin, "I did save your life, so it's not too much to ask you to treat me to a meal, is it?"

"That's natural."

Ling Xue invited Chen Futu to a nearby restaurant, where they ordered a large table full of delicious dishes, as well as the finest Zhenyuan fruit wine.

Chen Futu wanted to hitch a ride with his beloved disciple to see the destination of the incomplete map. If it was indeed an ancient ruin, there would definitely be many powerful figures left behind, which would bring in a large number of points, bringing him one step closer to obtaining the Heaven-Slaying Divine Armor.

During the meal, Ling Xue introduced the fragment of the map. She said that she had obtained one fragment by chance, and now she had obtained another one. She didn't know where the rest were, but there were probably two more pieces. If the four pieces were pieced together, perhaps the restriction on the map could be lifted.

As for the location of the incomplete map, she had consulted some ancient books and inquired about the details. It should be a temple of gods in the Southern Region.

"The Temple of the Gods? The Legacy of the God of War?"

"It's just a legend. Who knows the specifics? If there really is a Martial God's inheritance, it will most likely attract Great Emperor level experts, and the Black Wolf Legion will choose to bid for the fragment map, so they probably have one in their hands as well."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Chen Futu glared at him, thinking that if he had said so earlier, he would have just taken it back.

Randomly killing people is not good, but in the world of martial arts, seizing an opportunity is not a problem.

Ling Xue smiled and said, "No rush. The Black Wolf Legion might spread the news to attract people with fragments to explore together. I plan to notify my friends to go together, so that we can be on the safe side and not have our fragments taken away at the last minute."

"You still have friends?"

Chen Futu was quite satisfied. Xue'er had gained some experience and knowledge during her time away from home; in fact, she had accumulated some connections.

“I have a quasi-emperor friend, I have already notified him, and he will be arriving soon. I also have a good friend from the nearby Heavenly Gate. If the Black Wolf Legion really spread the news, I can ask her to notify the elders of my sect to come over.”

"Can I come along?" Chen Futu asked shamelessly.

Ling Xue smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Chen saved me, so you should have a share in the opportunity of the fragment."

"Hehe, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. I see you don't have any trump cards to protect yourself, and I happen to have a sacred artifact that should suit you."

Chen Futu took out a palm-sized, colorful wing.

This was made in my spare time, imitating Ling'er's Nine Heavens Wings. I planned to try it out first, and after getting familiar with it, I would make a batch of Quasi-Emperor level wings to match the strong people of Lizhou. The wings in front of me are actually Quasi-Emperor level artifacts. The reason I call them Sacred Artifacts is because I was worried that Xue'er would not accept them.

Its characteristic is that it is easy to activate, and as an auxiliary treasure, it does not consume as much true essence as a true quasi-emperor weapon.

It is inferior to Ling'er's Nine Heavens Wings in every aspect, but it has been forged with a trace of spatial rules, which has the effect of breaking through space to cross short distances. Moreover, the material is of quasi-Emperor level, which has a good defensive effect.

Listening to Chen Futu describe the effects of the sacred artifact, Ling Xue felt strange. Whose sacred artifact was so exaggerated? Each individual characteristic far surpassed that of ordinary sacred weapons.

Fortunately, Chen Futu's words were vague, and after much consideration, she accepted the pair of colorful wings.

If she had these wings, she would definitely have been able to escape when she was intercepted by the ancient saint.

Ling Xue, who had been given wings, booked two rooms at the inn. She said she would wait for her friend to arrive first, and if Black Wolf didn't send any messages, she would spread the news herself to piece together the fragments.

"Alright, then I'll wait for your favorable wind."

Chen Futu returned to his room with a cheerful smile.

Over the next two days, Ling Xue's eyes were strange. She had tested the effects of the wings and estimated their strength. They were definitely not holy weapons, but most likely quasi-emperor artifacts. She had that much insight. What was especially rare was that the consumption was not much. With her foundation in cultivating the Great Grade Azure Lotus Technique, she could use the wings to cross for half an hour without any problem, and the speed was extremely fast.
