Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1037 - 523: For My Own Use!

Chen Xuan trembled all over, his face a mask of terror. "My lord, how is this possible? Didn't Yong'an Prefecture City possess a grand array?"

"I heard even the Human Race's experts couldn't contend with it?"

"Oh, you actually know quite a bit!"

The man from the Profound Realm showed a hint of surprise but paid it no mind. After all, such a significant event had occurred recently, making it unsurprising for people to be informed.

"However, it is indeed perilous. The array consumes an excessive amount of spirit stones daily, and the deliveries are rather sluggish. Thus, I'm not attempting to frighten you; depart immediately after you make the drop-off."

"Do you comprehend!?"

"Yes, yes, my lord!"

Chen Xuan readily nodded.

He then exchanged a significant glance with Zhan Tian, recognizing the gravity of the situation.

Approximately half an hour later, the trio arrived at Prince Yong'an's Mansion, where Dao Realm treant guards stood sentinel at the entrance.

Nevertheless, the guards seemed quite familiar with the Profound Realm man, allowing them to pass without any hindrance and proceed inside.

"This way..."

The Profound Realm man took the lead.

A short while later, they reached a grand hall.

"Once you deliver these items, you two may depart."

"Understood, my lord."

Chen Xuan and Zhan Tian, carrying the boxes, entered the hall.

At the hall's center stood a massive stone pillar, extending dozens of meters high and intricately engraved with various patterns. The individual overseeing the array's operation was none other than Li Mu.

Moreover, positioned not far from him was a distinguished member of the treant race, an expert at the peak of the eighth layer of the Dao Realm.

It was evident that Li Mu was being closely monitored.

A human, a late-stage Spirit Cultivator at the eighth layer of the Dao Realm, how could they possibly entrust him with controlling the array without stringent supervision?

Li Mu let out a sigh from the depths of his heart.

Yong'an Prefecture lay in utter ruin. As a former member of the Imperial Family, he felt profoundly ashamed, a disgrace to the ancestors of the Li Family. Even now, he found himself erecting arrays to defend against the Human Race on their behalf.

However, the entirety of the Li Family was under the dominion of the treant race. Should he dare to make the slightest move, the Li Family would cease to exist in the Eastern Continent.

"I am the Li Family's greatest sinner!"

An overwhelming sense of guilt consumed him.

He had meticulously planned for years, intending only to seize the Stone Race and achieve triumph within the Stone Cave, thereby restoring the Li Family's former glory. Yet... this was the lamentable outcome.

"Bang!"

At that precise moment, the sound of Chen Xuan setting down a box disrupted his somber reflection. His peripheral vision involuntarily shifted towards the source of the noise.

As his gaze landed upon Zhan Tian, his heart gave a violent lurch.

A human! This was impossible!

With the formidable grand array providing protection, and without the slightest hint of detection, how had a human managed to infiltrate the premises?

Wasn't this precisely the Li Family's most potent defensive array?

"Then, does this imply there is another complication?"

Suddenly!

An image of an individual who fueled his murderous intent flashed through his mind – it was him! He had been reduced to this current state precisely because of that person!

He forcefully suppressed the raging anger within his heart.

A fleeting glance swept towards the eighth-layer peak Dao Realm powerhouse of the treant race, observing that the expert was deeply engrossed in cultivation.

With utmost caution, he initiated a secret communication.

"Is it you, kid?"

The unexpected voice that suddenly resonated in his ear caused Chen Xuan to flinch, but he quickly regained his composure.

Witnessing this reaction, Li Mu's confirmation solidified; it was indeed him!

"You damned scoundrel!"

But...

"You two, move the boxes over here."

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan responded swiftly but felt a growing sense of unease within. How had he been discovered?

Regarding the potential danger, he was not overly concerned; with Zhan Tian by his side, the threat was minimal. Even if peril arose, he possessed the means to vanish using his divine ability at any moment.

The eyes of the treant race's eighth-layer peak expert narrowed slightly. Detecting nothing out of the ordinary, he returned his focus to his cultivation.

"You possess the audacity to venture in here?"

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan placed the box down and then proceeded to extract the spirit stones one by one.

"How did you detect me, senior?"

With his innate ability to conceal his presence, you shouldn't have found me. Last time, within the Stone Race, you had already suspected as much.

"Who is that individual accompanying you?"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan grasped the crux of the issue; it lay with Zhan Tian.

"Don't even entertain any treacherous thoughts, or I shall be the first to end you."

Zhan Tian communicated telepathically, his words imbued with an intense killing intent.

"Zhan Tian!"

Li Mu instantly deduced his identity. Speaking with such an aggressive tone, it could only be him.

"Does the senior also feel a sense of unease in your heart?"

Chen Xuan inquired.

However, Li Mu remained silent.

Comfortable? He wasn't a mere dog; how could he possibly feel comfortable!

"Can the senior impede the outside world?"

Chen Xuan continued his probing.

"Are you intending to eliminate him?"

"Nonsense, why else would we have come here?"

Zhan Tian retorted with disdain.

Had Chen Xuan not restrained him, he would have unleashed his fury long ago, as he held no reservations.

"And why should I assist you?"

"Because senior is a member of the Human Race, and also of the former Imperial Family, would that suffice?"

Suffice? These words struck Li Mu’s heart with immense weight.

Of course, it was enough! He felt a sense of shame for even mentioning the Imperial Family.

Although his outward expression remained unchanged, Chen Xuan perceived his subtle inner turmoil.

"Ultimately, this is merely an internal affair amongst the Human Race; those others are of alien races."

"Different species harbor different intentions!"

"This incident in Yong’an Prefecture serves as a clear example; surely, senior understands this in his heart as well."

"Make your move after ten breaths!"

Li Mu finally made his choice, or rather, Chen Xuan’s words, combined with his own guilt, had persuaded him to agree.

"Ten... nine... three... one!"

"Attack!"

Zhan Tian suddenly surged forward, his spiritual power and Sacred Body erupting with fierce intensity, showering brilliance from his form.

"What!"

The eyes of the eighth-layer peak expert from the treant race snapped open in shock. How could it be a human!?

"Boom!"

With a single punch, Zhan Tian launched his assault. The treant's head, as fragile as a watermelon, instantly disintegrated into a mist of blood.

However, the treant race possessed formidable regenerative capabilities, especially at the eighth-layer peak, allowing its head to regrow in the blink of an eye.
