Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1028 - 520: Liu Sheng Seriously Injured! (Part 4)

"No need for that. The Chief Eunuch has been exceptionally kind to me. I simply cannot stand by and watch him meet such an end, can I?"

Chen Xuan replied with a gentle smile.

The Spiritual Liquid could undoubtedly aid Liu Sheng in his recovery, which brought Chen Xuan a sense of relief. As for the acupuncture points, he could address those gradually.

He truly couldn't simply observe without intervening to save Liu Sheng.

He absolutely could not do that!

"The Chief Eunuch holds immense importance to the Ritual Department, particularly during these critical times..."

"From this moment onward, you shall assume oversight of the Ritual Department, and I will handle all the remaining administrative duties. Rest assured."

This was a scenario Chen Xuan had anticipated for a considerable time, yet he hadn't expected it to materialize so swiftly.

"Brother Kang, give it your best effort. Regarding this position... I'm not particularly keen on it. It's merely that, after the Chief Eunuch's recent actions, it became rather difficult for me to decline."

"You..."

Kang Bai's expression flickered with disbelief. He genuinely wasn't interested in the esteemed position within the Ritual Department?

He let out a sigh, a helpless smile gracing his lips. "You truly make it impossible for your brother to comprehend you!"

This was the role of Chief Eunuch in the Ritual Department, a potential future leader of Great Yu, and he was actually indifferent to it?

How could anyone possibly live like this!

Meanwhile, within the chambers.

"This time, the Tree-man Race and the Stone Race have deployed their most formidable experts, catching us entirely by surprise. I suspect that among those who managed to escape, they are now making their way towards the Blood Cry Realm."

"Are you suggesting they intend to unleash the Blood Race?"

Zhan Tian's countenance shifted dramatically. If this were indeed the case, it would present an incredibly grave predicament.

"Precisely!"

Liu Sheng nodded slowly. "You should proceed to the Imperial Palace immediately. The Three Dukes and His Majesty are likely deliberating this very matter right now."

Due to the severity of his injuries, Zhan Tian had been recuperating at the Ritual Department.

"Understood."

"Just inform them that you are still suffering from severe injuries and are unable to fully recover!"

"Yes!"

Liu Sheng slowly nodded, a sense of anticipation building within him to witness the unfolding events.

When one stands at the pinnacle, friends often flock, but it is only in times of adversity that true loyalty and sincerity can be accurately discerned.

Furthermore, Emperor Yu's stance on this matter would be crucial.

Zhan Tian appeared hesitant to voice his thoughts but ultimately departed without further comment.

Once he was gone, Liu Sheng released a deep sigh. He had exerted himself to the absolute limit during the recent confrontation, single-handedly battling three formidable opponents and even felling a Peak of the Eighth Layer from the Tree-man Race. It was precisely this exertion that had led to his grievous injuries.

Yet, in the end, only Zhan Tian had come to visit him.

Human hearts are indeed complex. Liu Sheng had always remained steadfastly loyal to Great Yu, but Emperor Yu had only dispatched someone bearing some high-level elixirs – and that was the extent of his concern.

"Sigh!"

"Let's observe..."

Liu Sheng slowly closed his eyes, focusing inwardly on the gradual changes occurring within his body. The Spiritual Liquid was dispersing like misty rings, diligently mending his injuries.

"Approximately one year should suffice, perhaps?"

....

Zhan Tian hastened his steps, arriving at the Imperial Palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Upon reaching the Qixuan Hall, he offered a respectful bow towards Emperor Yu, who was seated majestically on the elevated throne.

"Be seated!"

Emperor Yu's voice was gentle as he spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhan Tian took his place on the second seat to the lower right. The foremost position, however, belonged to Liu Sheng, even in his severely injured state and absence. That seat remained his by right, a testament to the profound camaraderie they once shared.

This unspoken sentiment caused Emperor Yu's expression to subtly shift. "What is Liu Sheng's current condition?"

His inquiry offered a measure of solace to Zhan Tian's heart. "Reporting to Your Majesty, Liu Sheng from this point forward... sigh!"

He let out another sigh, his voice heavy with sorrow. "His life has been preserved, but his future prospects appear bleak."

The profound grief etched in his eyes even caused his sockets to appear reddened.

"Even the application of high-level pills proved ineffective?"

Duke Qin furrowed his brow. These high-level pills represented the pinnacle of medicinal efficacy available within Great Yu, and even they could not effect a complete recovery.

"The self-destruction of a Peak of the Eighth Layer cultivator is an event of considerable magnitude and complexity."

Zhan Tian's visage was deeply troubled.

"Very well, as long as his life is sustained, Great Yu shall not neglect his welfare."

Emperor Yu stated, his tone then shifting to address the more pressing concern. "The most urgent priority at present concerns those individuals who managed to escape from the Abyss River."

"It is highly probable that they are currently en route to the Blood Cry Realm."

"Should the Blood Race be successfully unleashed, it would undoubtedly spell utter disaster for Great Yu."

"Confer amongst yourselves and determine the appropriate course of action."
