Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1018 - 518: A Single Sword Annihilates a Sect! (Part 2)

Once the Array is activated, outside communication becomes impossible, but that restriction certainly does not apply to him.

Inside the study of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

"So, you're saying all of this is orchestrated for the Tree-man Race over there?" Chen Xuan inquired.

"Yes, that's the impression I got from Hong Zhisha's words," replied the other.

"The Hidden Kill and the other dangerous territories are all designed to plunge Great Yu into chaos, thereby relieving pressure on the Tree-man Race. As for the 'surprise' element, we remain unaware of its nature."

"Understood. Exercise caution and avoid raising Hong Zhisha's suspicions."

The communication line then went silent between the two.

"The Tree-man Race, you say? What could they possibly be preparing?" Chen Xuan mused aloud.

He repeatedly replayed recent events in his mind, even activating his talent for evolution to gain clarity.

Scene after scene flickered into existence before his eyes.

The Tree-man Race... followed by... him!

Chen Xuan's expression became tense as he recognized a familiar figure.

It was the Third Ancestor of the Stone Race!

"Bang!"

At that precise moment, the vision abruptly shattered with a deafening roar.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Chen Xuan gasped for air, his face deathly pale, perspiration drenching him like a torrential downpour.

A profound sense of weakness washed over him.

"The Stone Race!"

Upon beholding the image of Shi the Third, he gained a significant understanding—the Stone Race was indeed poised to make an appearance!

Recalling how Shi the Third had vanished without a trace from the royal city previously, and his subsequent role in leading Tree-man Race experts to breach the Stone Cave, subsequently opening a passage to the outer city from within the Stone Cave.

The puzzle pieces finally clicked into place!

If these two formidable races were to join forces, Great Yu's prospects would appear incredibly grim!

"No, I must alert the Chief Eunuch immediately!"

Chen Xuan reached a firm decision. The siege of the nine mansions by Hidden Kill, in the grand scheme of things, was not the paramount concern—at most, it would merely sow disorder within Great Yu.

However, the potential fall of the dangerous lands would spell an absolute catastrophe for Great Yu.

The sheer number of lives that would be lost was unimaginable.

...Outer perimeter of the Hidden Forest Abyss.

Great Yu's forces had retreated to this location. Array after Array was deployed, operating at peak capacity, staunchly defending the exit of the Hidden Forest Abyss!

At this juncture, within a military tent, Liu Sheng gazed blankly at the Communication Spirit Talisman held in his hand.

"You had a dream?"

"That the Tree-man Race and the Stone Race have allied?"

Chen Xuan had just sent him a message.

Upon receiving it, Liu Sheng felt an urge to laugh, yet suppressed it. Instead, his expression turned exceedingly grave.

He distinctly recalled Zhan Tian's earlier assertion that this young man possessed an exceptionally uncanny nature.

As for a mere dream?

The notion was utterly preposterous and far beyond belief!

"The Stone Race, you say?"

Liu Sheng murmured softly.

While the source of this intelligence remained unknown, considering the prior involvement of Shi the Third and the Tree-man Race, this scenario was not only plausible but highly probable.

"If that is indeed the case... then it would be prudent to make thorough preparations."

....

"I have fulfilled my obligations to the best of my ability. The subsequent outcome now rests upon the confrontation between the involved parties."

Back in his study, Chen Xuan released a sigh.

His original plan involved meticulous preparation, awaiting the opening of the Burial Ground, suppressing the emerging prodigies, and subsequently securing the coordinates for the Lower Realm.

Following that, he intended to depart with his wife and child to reside in the Primordial Realm.

A perfect conclusion.

He had never anticipated that Great Yu would descend into such widespread turmoil.

"This situation is becoming quite troublesome," Chen Xuan lamented, shaking his head in resignation before slowly closing his eyes.

Days elapsed one after another. Faced with the combined threat of the Ten Great Dangerous Lands and Hidden Kill, nearly all of Great Yu's military strength and elite experts had been mobilized.

Five days later!

While engaged in cultivation, Hong Zhisha received a communiqué from Zhou.

"Commence the operation."

He was aware of his elder brother's formidable strength, but with Hong Zhisha leading the charge, eliminating Ye Jinhong would be a simple, swift matter.

"I wonder what preparations Big Brother has put in place."

Moran City.

Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly flew open as he detected the presence of the avatar.

"Hidden Kill has arrived!"

After dispatching a message to Ye Jinhong, he promptly disappeared from his study.

Upon receiving the message, Ye Jinhong immediately gave the order for all of Moran City's defensive Arrays to be activated.

Everyone braced themselves for the impending battle.

Half an hour elapsed.

Hong Zhisha, at the head of several hundred Sword Gate disciples, halted at a position one thousand meters beyond the perimeter of Moran City.

Upon witnessing the Arrays shimmering to life above the city's imposing gates, he couldn't help but let out a derisive chuckle.

However, he made no immediate move, as if anticipating something.

As dusk began to settle, a Communication Spirit Talisman materialized in Hong Zhisha's grasp. "Commence the assault!"

It was Yuan Qing's voice!

"Understood!"

With a sweep of his hand towards Moran City's gates, he bellowed, "Slaughter!"

Instantly, the hundreds of Sword Gate disciples surged forward, their hearts ablaze with murderous intent as they charged towards Moran City.

At the city's gates, where Chen Xuan had taken his position, his eyes suddenly widened. "They are here!"

Ye Jinhong, standing beside him, stiffened upon hearing this.

In the very next moment, figures began to materialize within their field of vision.

"So many of them! And so powerful!"

Observing the dense throng of heads and the terrifying aura emanating from them, even with Chen Xuan at his side, Ye Jinhong's heart pounded with apprehension.

Every single one of them was at least in the Profound Realm, and among them were several experts who had reached the Dao Realm!

How could he not feel fear?

It wasn't just him; the gold-robed and white-robed officials of the Three Judicial Departments, witnessing the Sword Gate forces and their overwhelming killing intent, felt their own courage falter, their legs nearly buckling under the sheer pressure of the spectacle.

"Do not yield to fear!"
