Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1012 516: Earth-Shattering Strike! (Part 4)

"Scram, old man doesn't have the mood to deal with you."

Liu Sheng shot a glare, unwilling to get further involved. The matter was far too complex, and he simply couldn't be bothered to explain its intricacies.

He extended a hand, announcing, "A division separates me and Zhan Tian!"

"Understood!"

"Please keep it safe, old man."

Chen Xuan returned the array map, a sly smile playing on his lips. The ancient powerhouses of Great Yu indeed possessed unfathomable minds.

"What's so amusing about that?"

"You are a lord of Great Yu's Molan Mansion; don't be so detached from worldly affairs every day. I don't ask much of you, but your own Molan Mansion should at least remain trouble-free."

Witnessing Chen Xuan's nonchalant demeanor infuriated Liu Sheng.

The brat was far too carefree.

A woman's scent permeated the room the moment he entered; clearly, Chen Xuan had been indulging in pleasures with women in his arms recently.

"If the situation is this dire, why doesn't His Majesty intervene?"

Among the Ten Great Dangerous Lands, particularly the top five, any outbreak would spell ruin for Great Yu. For such a monumental crisis, only Liu Sheng, at the Eighth Layer's Peak, could be dispatched. This was clearly insufficient.

If Emperor Yu stepped in, the situation could be quelled swiftly.

"He did attempt to intervene, but Zhou also made his move!"

"His Majesty's clone had barely departed the Imperial City when Zhou struck him back with a single palm. He has been obstructing outside the Imperial City ever since, preventing His Majesty from leaving!"

Previously, when the Hidden Forest Abyss was in grave peril, Emperor Yu could not remain idle.

However, Zhou had foreseen this possibility long ago.

Ultimately, there was no alternative but to dispatch Liu Daoxin. As for the Imperial Palace's defensive array, the National Preceptor had to personally oversee its operation.

"Is that so?"

Chen Xuan mused, "Then why not send his original body?"

"Absolutely not!"

Liu Sheng shook his head vehemently. "His Majesty's true form must remain to guard the Imperial Palace. Should the original body depart, Zhou would undoubtedly breach the Imperial City, and then, it would truly be a catastrophe!"

"Is Zhou that powerful? Is His Majesty so wary of him?"

Chen Xuan's expression turned grave.

He was aware of Zhou's might and had heard whispers of his reputation. Never had he imagined Zhou's strength was so immense, capable of pressuring Emperor Yu to such an extent that he dared not leave the Imperial City; this was beyond his comprehension.

"His strength is supposedly not superior to His Majesty's. At that time, Your Majesty could not kill him."

"He wields the Law of Space; you should understand this point!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly, comprehending the situation. Indeed, possessing the Law of Space made one incredibly difficult to eliminate!

If one cannot defeat an opponent, one can simply retreat, correct?

"Enough of this idle chatter. Do not neglect the mansion adjacent to Molan Mansion during your cultivation; consider it aiding Zhan Tian. He has been swamped with work lately!"

Compared to Chen Xuan, Zhan Tian faced an even more arduous situation.

The golden-robed enforcers of the Three Judicial Departments had been almost entirely deployed to the Stone Cave, leaving him practically bereft of personnel.

Even Zongzheng and Wu Yue, who were in seclusion on the ninth level of the Library Pavilion, were summoned. Only Ye Chen continued his cultivation undisturbed within.

Though a move born of desperation, it signified that Zhan Tian had, for the moment, relinquished his pursuit of these two individuals.

"Understood. If necessary, I will lend my aid."

Chen Xuan nodded affirmatively. His motivation was not complex; it was simply a matter of repaying Zhan Tian's past favor.

"This old man shall take his leave now!"

Liu Sheng rose from his seat.

"Although the various dangerous lands are temporarily pacified, the Tree-man Race must return to the Hidden Forest Abyss; otherwise, Great Yu will never know peace."

"Hasn't Duke Liu already been overseeing that area?"

Not even a high-ranking official was sufficient?

"He needs to arrange the Celestial Fire Array, which prevents him from intervening freely."

"Moreover, this array is a relic from a previous dynasty, quite incomplete, and requires considerable time for restoration. Thus, I will oversee it for a period."

With those words, Liu Sheng departed hastily, heading towards the Hidden Forest Abyss.

"Sigh!"

Chen Xuan also let out a sigh. He regretted attacking the Stone Race in the first place; this current predicament was proving incredibly difficult to resolve.

Great Yu was now fraught with peril.

Emperor Yu was confined within the Imperial City, and only Liu Sheng could be mobilized among the high-level experts.

Zhan Tian was utterly overwhelmed!

It was no wonder the Hall Master had warned Zhan Tian about the dire consequences earlier.

"The Hall Master truly lives up to his title!"

Chen Xuan sighed once more, and his figure gradually vanished.
