Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1013 517: The Nine Gates Mobilize!
Previously on Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister...
In Moran City, at the Three Judicial Departments.
"You've finally arrived! You have no idea how many mansions in Great Yu have been targeted by the Hidden Assassination during this period!"
"I've been too scared to even close my eyes when I sleep lately!"
Upon seeing Chen Xuan, Ye Jinghong couldn't stop his torrent of words.
His expression was akin to a wronged lover finally beholding their beloved, which sent a shiver down Chen Xuan's spine.
"Alright, alright, is it really that dramatic?"
Chen Xuan instinctively took a few steps back, as Ye Jinghong was practically clinging to him, his breath making Chen Xuan feel rather ill.
"It's true!"
As Ye Jinghong took a step forward, he felt there was nothing inappropriate about his actions. In his current state, he could only think of Chen Xuan, a name he had uttered countless times over the years.
"Can you maintain some distance? I'm not interested in men!"
Chen Xuan finally said, unable to take it any longer.
"Uhh—"
"Sorry, sorry! I got too excited seeing you."
Ye Jinghong offered an awkward smile. "Come, sit, sit!"
With that said, he personally pulled out a chair. After Chen Xuan sat down, Ye Jinghong took a seat opposite him.
"Sigh."
He let out a sigh. "Great Yu has always been peaceful; who would have imagined such a major event would suddenly occur! What exactly is going on?"
His gaze then shifted to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was now a trusted confidant of the Chief Eunuch, surely he would know the details.
"You don't know?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. Given that such a significant event had transpired, Ye Jinghong, as a minister of the Three Judicial Departments of a mansion, should be aware.
"No, it's just that the higher-ups sent a dispatch stating that the Hidden Assassination Association would be active during this period, instructing us at the mansion's Three Judicial Departments to be vigilant."
"Nothing else was mentioned."
"If it weren't for my connections with some other ministers, I wouldn't have even known that they were facing assassination attempts from the Hidden Kill,"
"Many perished—those at the Immortal Grade, Profound Realm, and even several from the Dao Realm."
Ye Jinghong's expression grew grave.
This was precisely why he had eagerly awaited Chen Xuan's arrival; his own strength was insufficient to assert dominance!
Moreover... he was afraid of dying!
"It appears Great Yu has been keeping the situations in the perilous locations under wraps."
Chen Xuan pondered.
If this news were to spread, it could easily incite panic. Likely, only a select few core members of Great Yu were privy to the full extent of the situation.
"What exactly happened?"
Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent, Ye Jinghong pressed him again.
This was because the actions of the Hidden Kill were completely out of character.
Such large-scale assaults!
It was as if they had lost their minds.
"Alright, if you don't know, don't ask. Knowing too much won't benefit you."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Xuan decided against revealing anything. The matter was too significant, and Ye Jinghong was too timid. If he were to get scared, Chen Xuan would have to console him, which would be too troublesome!
"You... sigh!"
"Fine, fine, don't say it if you don't want to. But regardless, you shouldn't leave during this period. Just stay at the Prince's Mansion. I know you can patrol the entirety of Moran City; you must maintain a watchful eye."
Ye Jinghong didn't seem too concerned. If the sky were to fall, the strong would bear its weight, and Chen Xuan was currently one of the strong.
"You're a minister of the Three Judicial Departments; can't you have some ambition?"
Chen Xuan glared at him, disapproving of his attitude!
"I'm afraid of dying!"
Ye Jinghong spread his hands, unconcerned with his reputation, as life was the most important thing.
"Understood."
Chen Xuan nodded. In any case, Liu Sheng had also instructed him to remain vigilant. Staying at the Prince's Mansion for the time being seemed plausible.
However... he still needed to bring Gu Pengyou over. He couldn't miss out on the daily acquisition of skill points.
This was the very foundation of his power.
After Chen Xuan departed, Ye Jinghong began swaying his head and casually humming a tune. With this Lord back, he could finally sleep soundly.
Time passed swiftly, and over twenty days elapsed.
During this period, Chen Xuan remained in Moran City, and the activities of the Hidden Kill gradually subsided.
Yesterday, Chen Xuan had been contemplating whether to return to the Primordial Realm.
Leaving several Dao Realm cultivators at Prince Xuan's Mansion should suffice.
Early morning!
He awoke but soon frowned.
With a slight gesture, the Communication Spirit Talisman from his robes flew into his hand.
"From the clone?"
He immediately infused it with spiritual power.
"Big brother, something major has happened."
The clone's voice echoed. Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow; something major?
"What major event?"
"Hidden Kill is making significant moves, each faction is responsible for besieging a mansion, nine factions for nine mansions, Yuan Qing just communicated this with me."
"What?"
Chen Xuan's sleepiness instantly vanished.
Simultaneously besieging nine mansions, and the entire organization is mobilized.
Hidden Kill has gone crazy!
Stirring up such a commotion!
"When?"
Chen Xuan's voice became much deeper.
"Approximately in seven days, and the Sword Faction's target is the Molan Mansion!"
"Originally, this decision was made only at the final moment, but Yuan Qing informed me in advance, and there's another news, Hong Zhisha has had a realm breakthrough, this time he's likely to appear, probably in the Molan Mansion!"
Hong Zhisha had a realm breakthrough?
Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised, didn't expect him to be stuck at the Peak of Seventh Layer of Dao Realm for so many years, breaking through now.
Although it's only the early stage of Dao Realm Eighth Layer, he's not concerned about it.
However, Hidden Kill which was almost silent suddenly stirring such a huge commotion, they must have a motive.
"What does Hidden Kill want to achieve?"
Chen Xuan pondered, with all nine factions mobilized, even the top experts around Zhou being deployed, this is evidently different from before.
"Could it be there's significant action in the risky locations?"
"Hidden Kill's actions seem a bit like surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao?"
Chen Xuan speculated in his heart.
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like this.
"Big brother?"
"Mm, got it, during this time I'll be in Moran City! Also, find out the other eight mansions' factions and communicate them to me!"
"Okay!"
Then the two ended their communication.
