Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1017 518: One Sword Destroys a Sect!

Chen Xuan let out a sigh of resignation.

Acting on instinct, he then accessed the system.

...

[Jade Bone: Seventh Grade (52%)]

[Sacred Body: (5/108)]

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Dao Realm (Fifth Layer), Spirit Cultivator: Dao Level (Fifth Layer)]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Seventeenth Layer (2.41 billion/7.2 billion)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Twentieth Layer (342 million/8.32 billion))]

[Skill Points: 11.586 billion]

...

His gaze swept over the details.

Naturally, the skill points drew his most significant attention.

They had surpassed the ten billion mark.

However, immediate use wasn't possible.

Regarding the cultivation techniques, his recent focus on impacting acupoints meant he hadn't actively practiced them, resulting in only minimal advancement.

This was the potency of the Origin Dao Body; even without direct cultivation, the techniques would still see gradual progress.

Albeit at a slower pace.

Yet, this 'slowness' was relative to him; for other prodigies, it wouldn't be considered lagging.

"Lord Xuan King, Director Ye has arrived."

Shi Jian stood respectfully outside the study, announcing the visitor's presence.

Chen Xuan's thoughts paused, the interface vanished, and he then exited the study.

Upon Chen Xuan's arrival at the main hall's entrance, Ye Jinghong immediately rose. Preempting Chen Xuan's inquiry, he declared, "Hidden Kill is preparing a substantial offensive; we've just received intelligence from the Imperial City!"

"Understood!"

Chen Xuan proceeded to the head seat and settled himself. "Anything further?"

"You're already aware?"

A moment's reflection made Ye Jinghong realize the logic, and he nodded. "Knowing you're informed brings me great relief."

"I have already dispatched orders for the mobilization of all personnel from the Three Judicial Departments."

"Should Hidden Kill dare to make an appearance, a significant disturbance is certain; remain vigilant."

Chen Xuan offered a smile, appreciating the thoughtfulness.

However, with his clone nearby, any approach within a thousand kilometers of Moran City would be detected.

His involvement in this matter was, therefore, superfluous.

"Affirmative."

"Regardless, your presence here assures me."

Chen Xuan's appearance instilled an unexplainable sense of security in Ye Jinghong, akin to having a steadfast pillar of support.

"Good heavens!"

Sensing Ye Jinghong's thoughts, Chen Xuan felt a strange sensation, contemplating if the director's affections had shifted!

...

In Jiuxian County, within the Xiao Mansion.

"Congratulations to Uncle Zhi Sha on your successful advancement to the eighth layer."

Chen Xuan's clone presented the recently prepared tea with both hands.

"Indeed!"

Hong Zhisha smiled and nodded, taking a sip. "Finally, the eighth layer!"

His heart overflowed with emotions.

For years, remaining at the pinnacle of the seventh layer had been a mental block, with Xiao Ming's unresolved situation serving as a persistent heart demon, hindering his progress.

He had eventually resigned himself to it.

But to ultimately achieve the breakthrough was beyond expectation. Glancing subtly at 'Xiao Yu,' he felt a significant contribution from this individual.

Xiao Yu's rapid development recently had been a source of immense comfort.

Regardless of whether Xiao Ming could be salvaged, having a successor offered a form of resolution.

Consequently, his perspective began to undergo a subtle transformation.

Furthermore, Zhou's intervention had pacified his internal turmoil.

These combined factors culminated in his successful breakthrough.

"On that note!"

Hong Zhisha placed his teacup down, turned towards him, and a newfound warmth emanated from his once stoic eyes. "You are performing admirably, Double Five, Jade Bone. Your true capabilities are not inferior to those at the mid-seventh layer of the Dao Realm, perhaps even surpassing them."

"Both your father and I are immensely proud of you."

"Alas!"

The clone sighed and then sat beside him. "I only wonder if my father will witness this."

A momentary flicker of sorrow crossed Hong Zhisha's eyes.

He grappled with the internal debate of whether to reveal the truth; Zhou had not definitively confirmed its feasibility, deeming the endeavor excessively perilous.

Ultimately, he steeled himself and offered only comfort, "That day will arrive."

He then placed a hand on the clone's shoulder.

"Yes!"

The clone nodded with firm resolve; it would.

"Ah, Uncle Zhi Sha, when do we commence?"

Addressing the matter at hand, Hong Zhisha's demeanor grew serious. "There is no need for haste; we shall await further intelligence from that particular quarter."

"That quarter?"

The clone appeared perplexed.

"Very well, it is permissible to inform you."

Hong Zhisha considered the situation; as a Sect Leader possessing commensurate strength, he was entitled to such knowledge. More importantly, Zhou held a favorable view of him and intended to nurture his potential, making disclosure acceptable.

"We'll hold our positions and await the signal when the Tree-man Race makes their move; once we ignite the flames of chaos in Great Yu, that's precisely when they will emerge."

"Simultaneously, the Ten Great Dangerous Lands will also show their hand."

"Mark my words, this juncture might represent the grandest opportunity we've seen in countless years!"

Upon hearing these pronouncements, the clone's countenance shifted dramatically.

Hong Zhisha, mistaking his reaction for fear, quickly reassured him, "There's no need for apprehension; our sole duty is to sow discord within Great Yu."

"The true pivotal force remains with the Ten Great Dangerous Lands."

"Furthermore, I overheard Lord Zhou mentioning that the Tree-man Race has prepared a rather astonishing surprise for Great Yu this time around!"

"A surprise so profound, they'll remember it for an entire lifetime."

"A surprise? What sort of surprise is it?"

The clone inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"Lord Zhou did not elaborate! Even I remain in the dark regarding its nature,"

Hong Zhisha confessed, shaking his head.

Regardless, when Zhou had conveyed this to him, his excitement was palpable. And knowing Zhou's disposition, few things in this world could stir such fervor, which served as a potent indicator of the surprise's immense scale.

"Very well!"

Hong Zhisha rose to his feet, announcing, "I shall go and pay your father a visit. You, however, are to keep a vigilant watch over the Sword Sect. Under no circumstances is anyone to depart from the Xiao Mansion. Activate the defensive array and sever all external communication channels!"

"Understood!"

As Hong Zhisha exited the chamber, the clone's mind became a whirlwind of speculation about this so-called surprise.

"This can't be happening; I absolutely must inform my elder brother immediately."
