Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1024 - 519: Who’s Lacking Backup!_4

The Primordial Realm!

Upon receiving the message from Liu Sheng, Chen Xuan let out a faint smile. Did he really think he could transfer him? As if Chen Xuan lacked any support!

Pfft!

He exited the study, muttering curses under his breath.

That very night!

Within Duke Qin’s majestic mansion, Liu Sheng and Duke Qin engaged in a fierce confrontation. The clash between these two formidable figures sent tremors through the Imperial City.

Half of Duke Qin’s estate was reduced to rubble.

Ultimately, Liu Sheng departed the mansion, his face bruised but his head held high.

And so, the transfer order for Chen Xuan was eventually rescinded by Duke Qin.

To Liu Sheng, Chen Xuan represented the designated heir for the Ritual Department. Despite possessing the might of the eighth level of the Dao Realm, such power proved insufficient in a genuine battle.

This was especially true considering the perilous burial ground that lay ahead.

If Chen Xuan were to perish there, the loss would be immeasurable.

It was no wonder Liu Sheng had directly stormed into Duke Qin’s Mansion.

...

The following day!

Zhan Tian made an early arrival at the Ritual Department. Upon noticing the lingering bruise on Liu Sheng’s countenance, he couldn't help but let out a rather unsympathetic laugh.

"Get lost!"

Liu Sheng shot him a fierce glare.

That scoundrel, arriving so early just to mock him.

Zhan Tian’s demeanor softened slightly. He settled into a seat casually, picked up a teacup, and drank deeply without any hint of disdain, before inquiring, "What’s transpired here? Such a temper, leading to a physical altercation."

"This entire affair has likely reached the ears of His Majesty."

After all, Duke Qin held the esteemed position of one of the Three Dukes and was a member of the Imperial Family, ranking higher in status than themselves.

And for Liu Sheng to have lost his temper to such an extent, even resorting to a fight, Zhan Tian was genuinely curious about the cause.

"He intends to transfer that brat to the Abyss River!"

Liu Sheng declared with clear irritation.

"What?"

"Beat that old bastard to death!"

Sharing a close bond with Liu Sheng, Zhan Tian naturally felt compelled to assist him.

Chen Xuan was currently his vital lifeline.

The Abyss River was notoriously treacherous; even with the kid’s early eighth-level strength, it was still woefully inadequate.

A single misstep could spell his doom.

By then, Liu Sheng wouldn’t even have a grave at which to mourn.

This was a consequence of his good nature; if it were Zhan Tian, he would have beaten the old bastard to death, if not dismantled his entire mansion.

"Alright, do you have any actual business, or not? If not, then be on your way, you’re quite vexing."

Liu Sheng had no inclination for idle chit-chat; too much was happening lately, leaving him with precious little time for sleep.

However, Zhan Tian remained seated. Instead, he gazed upward towards the rafters of the main hall, posing a question, "Do you think something significant will occur this time?"

His words caused Liu Sheng’s expression to turn grave.

"I do not know!"

Liu Sheng lacked confidence as well.

A heavy silence descended upon the main hall.

...

Duke Qin’s Mansion.

Duke Liu and Duke Yuan made their arrival at the estate.

Compared to Liu Sheng, Duke Qin was not in a significantly better state, his bruised eyes a testament to the encounter.

"How did it escalate to blows?"

Duke Liu inquired. He was intimately familiar with Liu Sheng’s temperament, and it was perplexing what could have provoked such a loss of control.

"I sought to transfer Prince Xuan from Molan Mansion to the Abyss River, but that old curmudgeon was overly protective, and a fight ensued."

Even now, Duke Qin could still feel the sting of pain on his face.

Duke Yuan, on the other hand, seemed unconcerned with the physical injuries. Instead, he directed his question, "Has Liu Sheng’s cultivation improved once more?"

Among the three of them, Duke Qin was considered the strongest, yet surprisingly, even he could not subdue Liu Sheng.

Previously, Duke Yuan had always perceived Duke Qin as the most formidable among the four of them.

As for Zhan Tian, no one wished to cross him; he was a veritable powerhouse in close combat, his unparalleled Sacred Body making him nearly unbeatable in a melee.

It was merely his cultivation realm that lagged slightly behind.

Were it not for that, he alone could have easily suppressed the other three.

"Yes, he has improved, and quite considerably!"

Duke Qin’s expression tensed. He had not anticipated Liu Sheng's substantial advancement.

Typically, reaching higher cultivation levels at their stage was an arduous undertaking.

But Liu Sheng... among the five of them, only Zhan Tian could marginally outmatch him in terms of raw power.
