Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1036 - 522: Emperor Realm! (Part 4)

Possessing mastery over the Rule of Space, Chen Xuan could perceive everything happening outside, even from his current location.

"Is that the Array of the An Mansion being utilized?" Chen Xuan pondered aloud. In the following instant, a faint blue glow flickered in his eyes, revealing the Array's intricate design before him.

A moment later, he exclaimed, "So complex!"

"Is this not possible?" Zhan Tian questioned, his brow furrowed. He wondered if the Rule of Space was proving ineffective.

"Not at all, the kid is merely overwhelmed by the Array's complexity," a voice responded.

"You..." Before Chen Xuan could react, Zhan Tian's thought was interrupted. If not for his current need for the youth, he might have considered a more thorough inspection of Chen Xuan.

Was he being toyed with?

Sensing Zhan Tian's displeasure, Chen Xuan swiftly changed the subject. "Should this junior escort you directly inside, or...?"

"Can you infiltrate without being detected?" Zhan Tian inquired.

"I can!" Chen Xuan affirmed. While relying solely on Swift Divine Feet might not suffice for stealth, employing the Rule of Space alone would surely be noticed. Therefore, he had ingeniously integrated the Rule of Space into Swift Divine Feet.

This novel technique had been discovered during his recent period of idle experimentation.

It was precisely this fusion that allowed him to transport a paramount figure like Zhan Tian through a spatial rift without experiencing any significant strain.

"If you can enter undetected, that would be even better!" Zhan Tian stated. Based on his estimations, Yong’an Prefecture harbored at least four to five experts at the Peak of the Eighth Layer, a troublesome number.

Ambushing and eliminating one or two of them would considerably simplify matters.

He desired to recapture a certain feeling, not to be encircled and overwhelmed.

"Let us depart!" With those words, Chen Xuan moved out, Zhan Tian accompanying him.

A low hum resonated as the Array above Yong’an Prefecture trembled slightly, only to vanish instantaneously under Chen Xuan’s deft manipulation.

In the blink of an eye, two individuals with verdant skin materialized from the void at the entrance of a dimly lit alley.

"Move!" Zhan Tian projected his thoughts telepathically.

The duo promptly exited the alley and emerged onto a bustling main street.

Bodies lay scattered everywhere, painting a picture of utter desolation as far as the eye could see.

The once-thriving Yong’an Prefecture City now bore a horrifying resemblance to a scene from hell.

Even Zhan Tian’s expression subtly shifted upon witnessing the grim spectacle, though his green complexion served to conceal it.

"You..." the individual began.

"Yes, you..." the other replied.

At this juncture, a member of the Tree-man Race, possessing Profound Realm strength, addressed Chen Xuan. He gestured towards two substantial boxes on the ground. "Carry these and follow me!"

Zhan Tian was taken aback. Since when had he ever been subjected to such orders?

Fortunately, Chen Xuan quickly intervened with a subtle reminder.

Their outward appearance suggested they were merely of Immortal Grade.

Chen Xuan scurried over with a plastered grin. "Esteemed sir, what are your commands?"

Nodding obsequiously, he regarded the Profound Realm Tree-man with evident satisfaction.

Since assuming control of Yong’an Prefecture, this individual, a mere Profound Realm cultivator, had adopted the airs of a local lord. The sensation was undeniably intoxicating.

Of course, such arrogance was typically reserved for the Human Race.

Unexpectedly, having a fellow clansman treat him in a similar fashion only amplified his contentment.

"Excellent. From this moment forth, you shall accompany me."

"Thank you, sir. Where are we proceeding to?"

"These are Spirit Stones required for the Array. Deliver them to the Prince’s Mansion within Yong’an Prefecture."

"Understood!" Chen Xuan declared.

With that, Chen Xuan resolutely lifted one box, compelling Zhan Tian, despite his deep reluctance, to pick up the other.

Throughout their journey, Chen Xuan managed to glean a considerable amount of information about their new acquaintance.

The individual belonged to the Tree-man Race and was tasked with collecting Spirit Stones. He commanded a contingent of over ten subordinates, but this particular shipment of Spirit Stones was exceptionally large. His subordinates were all occupied with transporting Spirit Stones to the Yong’an Prefecture Prince’s Mansion.

The remaining two boxes, which he was unwilling to transport himself, happened to be spotted by Chen Xuan and Zhan Tian. Thus, he promptly commandeered their assistance as laborers.

"By the way, which branch do you two hail from? And why have you ventured onto the main city's thoroughfares?" the Tree-man inquired.

"It is thus, sir. We originate from the lower three tribes. Our clan elders were summoned to the upper echelons. We two hail from a county situated below Yong’an Prefecture and have never before witnessed the main city of the Human Race. Consequently, we secretly ventured out for a look."

"Sir, we implore you to maintain the secrecy of our excursion."

The Profound Realm man nodded, his suspicions momentarily allayed.

The Tree-man Race typically resided within the Hidden Forest Abyss, a harsh and unforgiving environment. They had never experienced the prosperity found in Human Race territories, and of late, younger members had been venturing out covertly.

He had witnessed such occurrences countless times.

"Rest assured. However, once these boxes are delivered, you must depart swiftly! This area is exceptionally perilous; the Human Race could launch an attack at any moment."

"What?" Chen Xuan feigned surprise.
