Chapter 427: The Deceitful Tribe
During her stay in Dantu, Shen Lu kept a low profile, even when she went out she still wore a mask, for fear that her ugly disguise would be exposed. As for Shen San, he traded some good things with merchants from various places.
According to him, some local specialties do not necessarily have to be sold in the Western Regions; transactions may be completed along the way.
For example, Chen Futu's cartload of blue wolf pelts caught the eye of someone from a family in the Western Regions who had returned from the Central Plains. Blue wolves were a symbol of bravery, and wearing clothing made from blue wolf pelts was an honor.
"Respected young master, the Shi family of Tianque City welcomes your visit."
A somewhat lewd old man bowed to Chen Futu with a sly smile.
He invited Chen Futu to trade in the Western Regions, and didn't even mind waiting a few more days to set off with Shen San's group. His name was Shi Huolong, and the lively young man beside him was Shi Zhenxiang, the second young master of the family.
Chen Futu almost lost his composure when he heard the name Shi Zhenxiang.
The young man looked quite energetic and strong, but he wasn't very bright. He was big and burly, but he especially liked hanging out with Xiaobai and would drag Xiaobai around showing off his food. He was a foodie too.
The Shi family's group had strong guards, and their overall strength was a notch above Liu Yun's group. Liu Yun was only a Grandmaster, but the other family's guard, Alan, was at the level of a half-step Grandmaster.
In the past two days, Chen Futu asked Zhang Sanfeng to keep a close eye on things. Dantu seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, as long as the group went out, someone would be watching them in secret. Even if they were far away and well disguised, they could not escape Zhang Sanfeng's eyes.
In this way, Chen Futu became even more certain of his idea and decided to give them more time. He figured that the four living Vajras must have seen his face in the capital and recognized his identity.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen San and Shi Huolong were calling for the group to prepare to depart when the chieftain suddenly stopped Shen San, saying with a forced smile, "Why is the caravan in such a hurry? Do you think my Dantu tribe has not been hospitable enough?"
"No, we have disturbed you greatly and cannot stay any longer. We will take our leave now."
"Brother Shen, it's not easy for you to come all this way, and I haven't yet shown you all the exciting programs in the group."
"A fantastic show?"
Shen San and Shi Huolong exchanged glances, revealing lecherous smiles, and then looked at Chen Futu together.
Chen Futu said with a dark face, "Do as you please, I'm not in a hurry."
"Alright, young master, you rest first, we two old bones will take a trip."
Shen San and Shi Huolong really followed the leader.
Alan spat at the sight and looked away while holding his scimitar.
Chen Futu admired Shen San's courage. Fortunately, Shen Lu hadn't come downstairs yet, otherwise she might have punched her father.
"Old man, do you need some exciting entertainment?" Chen Futu deliberately asked Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng's snow-white beard twitched, and he coldly replied, "This humble Taoist is old and frail, and has no fortune to enjoy such entertainment."
Chen Futu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Zhang Sanfeng was indeed a virgin, which was why his skills had increased so rapidly.
As for the leader jumping out at this time, it's nothing more than a delaying tactic. It's highly likely that some Vajra has recognized the Great Sage Emperor from the shadows and has already sought help from Brahma Tower.
So let's start by taking down one wave!
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen San and Shi Huolong were so engrossed in their pleasures that they forgot all about home, spending their days in the arms of their beloved.
During this time, the leader came to see Chen Futu, wanting his most distinguished guest to experience an exciting program. However, Zhang Sanfeng glared at him, and the leader was so frightened that he lost his mind and wet his crotch.
What nonsense about being a half-step Grandmaster or a half-step Martial King? In Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, they're nothing but a tiny ant.
Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng only showed his good temper when facing Chen Futu; towards others, his gloomy eyes were full of hostility and murderous intent.
"Father, are you going to leave or not?!"
Seven days later, Shen Lu finally caught Shen San, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury.
If her mother finds out, she'll break Old Deng's legs!
"Daughter, let's get going now. Don't tell your mother."
Shen San was a doting father to his daughter and dared not continue his philandering. Moreover, he had been completely drained these past few days, eating nothing but lamb kidneys every day.
Chen Futu estimated that the time was about right, and that the reinforcements from Fanlou should have arrived by now.
As expected, the leader no longer tried to persuade Shen San and Shi Huolong to stay, but only tried to persuade Chen Futu to stay, saying with certainty that the distinguished guest had not yet met the King of Dantu, so how could he leave like this, as he would have difficulty explaining it to him.
Chen Futu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Let them go first, I'll stay for two more days."
"Thank you, sir!"
The leader was overjoyed, never expecting things to go so smoothly.
As long as Chen Futu stays, everyone else can do whatever they want.
Just to be on the safe side, Chen Futu arranged for Xiaobai to leave the tribe with the caravan first, and instructed her to protect Gefei.
Little Bai patted her chest and exclaimed, "Don't worry, big brother, Silly Auntie is amazing!"
Chen Futu patted her head and watched the convoy leave.
Zhang Sanfeng followed closely behind Chen Futu with his eyes lowered. He knew that the fight was about to begin, and his Zhenwu Sword was already itching for action.
"My lord, I will take you to see Lord King Dantu first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay, go ahead."
Chen Futu complied with the other party's wishes, and the other party was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to report back.
Zhang Sanfeng said in a low voice, "What should we do when the powerful reinforcements from the Brahma Tower arrive tomorrow?"
"Kill them all, and take their heads to the Western Regions as a greeting gift."
"I understand."
That night, Chen Futu bargained with the system until his lips were sore before finally spending 200,000 taels of silver to obtain a Three Corpse Brain God Pill.
The following morning, just as dawn broke, Zhang Sanfeng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and said, "They've arrived."
Chen Futu also sensed that there was a strong killing intent near the inn, and there was more than one.
As they were talking, the chief called out from outside, "My lord, the King of Dantu requests your presence."
Chen Futu and Zhang Sanfeng strode out of the inn and, under the "protection" of a group of people, made their way to a large house deep in the tribe.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, the gate closed, followed by a dense cacophony of sounds falling on the rooftops and walls.
They were surrounded by dozens of people, all of whom were Grandmasters, plus three Grandmasters.
"What a generous gesture."
Chen Futu stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he watched the murderous scene unfold. Hundreds more rushed out of the palace, surrounding the two of them completely. Finally, two figures emerged: the King of Dantu and Granny Jin.
"Hahaha, Great Sage Emperor has come all the way to the Western Regions. Please forgive my poor hospitality."
The King of Dantu was beaming with pride and high spirits.
Chen Futu asked strangely, "What does the King of Dantu mean by this?"
“Your Majesty the Great Sage Emperor, now that things have come to this, why pretend to be stupid? You have offended the Brahma Tower, and the Brahma Tower officials want to detain you. I have no choice but to obey.”
"You fear Fanlou, but aren't you afraid of me?"
"Chen Futu!"
A violent voice rang out. Upon closer inspection, a monk arrived at the front of the hall. He was one of the Four Vajras, and he was severely injured, with obvious marks on his neck from Diao Chan's whip.
