Chapter 579: It's Hard to Persuade a Damn Ghost with Good Words
The master and apprentice left Taiping City and arrived near the luxurious Baiyujing mansion by the lake.
Qin Hao was stunned. "Such pure true energy!"
"Master, is he the eldest brother?"
Ling Xue was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner when she saw Qin Hao and was quite surprised.
She could sense Qin Hao's Martial Emperor cultivation level, just as her master had guessed. He had suddenly jumped several major realms from Martial Master, which was terrifying.
"It turns out I have a junior sister."
Ling Xue was so beautiful that Qin Hao, who came from a beggar background, felt somewhat inferior in comparison.
Chen Futu slapped him hard, "What are you standing there for? Go help your junior sister cook."
Qin Hao responded and ran into the kitchen with his head down. Ling Xue's temperament had almost recovered in the past few months, and with her senior brother by her side, a smile finally appeared on her face.
This New Year's Eve dinner was extremely lavish. Although it couldn't compare to the one in the capital, it was still considered a luxury for the two homeless disciples.
After the meal, Chen Futu gave each of his two disciples a gold card containing five million gold coins.
The master's generosity deeply moved the two of them. Ling Xue was alright, but Qin Hao almost shed tears.
Back when he was a beggar, he couldn't even see a silver coin, let alone a gold one. He would be grateful if he had a few copper coins. But his master could just wave his hand and give away millions. He was far too extravagant.
Chen Futu told the two of their plans for the future. They would set off for Giantwood City in two days, since the Wind and Rain Sect would also be celebrating the New Year.
If both disciples are willing, they can go together.
"I am willing to follow my master."
"Me too."
Both of them expressed their opinions.
Chen Futu nodded, giving the two free time for the next two days, and then they would set off together.
Meanwhile, in the capital city, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and Chen Futu was enjoying a leisurely time with his wife and children.
Southern Xinjiang has not been fully recovered, mainly because there is resistance among the people, so Zhuge Liang and his comrades did not return for the New Year.
Old Zhu went to great lengths to reclaim the Southern Frontier. Advancing into the barren lands of the Southern Frontier was extremely difficult. The soldiers of the Southern Frontier preferred mountain warfare, often launching surprise attacks and using poison. If it weren't for Yan Xiaoxiao's help and the antidote provided by Bai Yujing, the army would have suffered heavy losses. In addition, Lian Ni Chang fought several battles with the Sage of the Southern Frontier, suppressing all the discontented voices of the higher-ups.
It is estimated that we will be able to completely take over southern Xinjiang by February or March next year.
After conquering the southern border, they sent troops to the Han Hai region, completely subjugating the many small countries in the south.
In fact, Chen Futu himself wanted to travel to the Northern Region, but unfortunately, the combat power of his incarnation was on him, so he had to spend time in seclusion to cultivate and strive to break through to the Saint King level so that he could teleport and travel there in person.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Futu and his two companions set off, taking possession of the palaces of Baiyujing.
As one of the three major forces in Zhenzhou, Piaoyu Sect has a Great Sage or even an Ancient Sage in charge. Chen Futu did not want to cause any trouble, so he suppressed his cultivation to the Martial Venerable level, mainly because he was not much older than Ling Xue and Qin Hao.
"You're going to Giantwood City? Let's wait a bit longer; the teleportation array needs repairing these next couple of days."
This is what the people at the Piaoyu Sect office said.
The repairs would take about half a month, so Chen Futu could only stay in a nearby town with his two disciples.
Logically, all that was needed was to wait, but an unexpected incident still occurred.
That day, Ling Xue and Qin Hao went out for a competition, and when they returned, neither of them looked happy.
Chen Futu asked, "What happened? You always have such a long face."
"Master, we have clashed with the disciples of the Piaoyu Sect and injured some of them."
Ling Xue told the whole story.
It turned out that some disciples of the Piaoyu Sect had gone down the mountain to commit evil deeds, bullying the people and even abducting women. Some of them had taken a liking to Ling Xue and were spewing vulgarities. Ling Xue was furious and attacked them, killing several people on the spot. The remaining disciples scattered and fled.
Qin Hao muttered, "Master, don't worry, they shouldn't be able to find us. We erased all traces along the way when we came back."
"Ignore them. Just stay put for the next few days."
Chen Futu waved his hand, remaining very calm.
The two looked at each other, realizing they had done something wrong, quickly ate something, and returned to their respective rooms.
In fact, Chen Futu was not afraid of the Piaoyu Sect. If they didn't come to his door, that would be fine. But if they did, don't blame him for releasing the Ancient Saint Puppet to kill indiscriminately!
Three days later, news spread throughout the town that a village had been massacred, with all several hundred residents, from the elderly to infants, killed.
It was done by an elder surnamed Qi from the Piaoyu Sect. He said that his disciples had been attacked in the village and he wanted an explanation.
Actually, it was because his grandson had his arm severed by a sword while harassing Ling Xue that he took his anger out on the unarmed civilians.
"Listen up, everyone in Da'an Town! Has anyone seen these young people? If I find out you've hidden them, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Elder Qi was a saint, standing majestically in mid-air.
A picture was floating in the streets of the small town, and the people in the picture were talking about it.
Chen Futu remained seated cross-legged in his room, comprehending the Daoist Scripture of the Human Emperor, too lazy to even open his eyes.
"Sir! I've seen them. They only came to town a few days ago. This couple even bought fresh beef from me."
A butcher knelt on the ground and said this, pointing to the courtyard where Chen Futu and his two disciples were staying.
Elder Qi sneered three times, "Two little rats, you dare to hide after hurting my grandson!"
With a whoosh, a group of Piaoyu Sect disciples rushed into the courtyard.
Chen Futu's eyes narrowed. "Get out."
With a deafening roar, the aura of the Holy Path swept away all the disciples who had just rushed into the courtyard.
Qin Hao and Ling Xue ran out upon hearing the commotion, "Master, they've come to our door!"
"Go and kill them."
Chen Futu gave the order.
Without saying a word, the two rushed out of the courtyard and joined forces to kill the Piaoyu Sect disciple.
These disciples are not core members; their cultivation is not high. The strongest among them is only a Martial King, and most of them are Martial Grandmasters.
"You two juniors, how dare you act so aggressively in front of me!"
Elder Qi became enraged when he saw that his disciples were no match for Qin Hao and Ling Xue, and he decided to take action himself.
Chen Futu said, "At your age, you still fight with children. You have no shame."
"So you have a sage backing you up, no wonder you're so arrogant. But even if you are a sage, you can't be tolerated under the nose of my Piaoyu Sect!"
Elder Qi, relying on the fact that Piaoyu Sect was nearby, completely disregarded Chen Futu and even tried to forcefully kill Qin Hao and Ling Xue.
"Insects, you've dug your own grave."
As soon as Chen Futu finished speaking, the wordless stele descended from the sky.
Boom! Elder Qi had no time to react and was instantly reduced to a bloody mist in front of everyone's horrified gazes.
"Dead, dead!"
"Elder Qi is dead! Run!"
The disciples were so frightened that they scattered and fled for their lives.
Qin Hao and Ling Xue exchanged a glance and continued killing. These people were no match to begin with, and now, in their panic, more than half of them were killed.
"Who among the martial arts world has overstepped their bounds?"
Two people arrived together and blew away Qin Hao and Ling Xue, who were chasing them, with a single palm strike.
Chen Futu remained seated in the room, not revealing himself. "Two Saint Kings, quite a grand gesture indeed. I will give you a chance; it's not too late to leave now."
“Fellow Daoist, you killed my outer sect elder and still dare to be so arrogant? Have you forgotten that this is Piaoyu Mountain? How can you be allowed to act so presumptuously here?”
"You can't reason with a damned devil. You two don't know what's good for you, so you might as well go together."
