Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1061 - 529: His Life or Death Depends on You! (Part 3)

Instantly!

Liu Sheng felt as if struck by lightning, his mind going completely blank, frozen in place.

After a significant pause!

"How could this be?"

Liu Sheng murmured to himself, as per the Hall Master's predictions, their failure to go to Celestial Eye Forest meant Zhan Tian was doomed to die!

However... his gaze shifted to Chen Xuan.

At this very moment, Chen Xuan wore a smile, but Liu Sheng understood this was merely to comfort him.

Torn between an old friend and a protégé,

No matter the person,

He desperately wished for neither to suffer any harm!

"Rest assured, Chief Eunuch, I have already made plans to venture into Celestial Eye Forest. Zhan Tian has treated Xiaoqi and me with such kindness; how could I possibly stand by and watch him perish without taking action?"

"You... alas!"

Liu Sheng let out a sigh, recognizing the depth of Chen Xuan's loyalty.

This unwavering loyalty was precisely what Liu Sheng admired most about him.

Yet, Hidden Forest Abyss served as the ancestral home of the Tree-man Race, and Celestial Eye Forest was their most vital territory. With no current intel on the situation within, Chen Xuan's intention to go there... Liu Sheng shook his head, feeling utter helplessness.

From his bosom, he produced a formation map and presented it to Chen Xuan. "Since you've already made up your mind, this old man understands your nature; persuasion will prove futile!"

"This is a duplicate of myself. It sustained some damage the last time it was used. At a critical juncture, you can detonate it. It can hold back even an Eighth Layer Peak cultivator for a short period. With your mastery of the Rule of Space, you should be able to make your escape!"

This was the absolute extent of what he could offer.

This duplicate was his sole remaining one; its self-destruction would leave him without another.

"Chief Eunuch..."

Chen Xuan was deeply moved. An Eighth Layer Late Stage replica, and Liu Sheng was gifting it to him!

He even proposed its self-destruction to grant Chen Xuan precious time to flee.

"Very well!"

The Chief Eunuch placed a hand upon Chen Xuan's head. "Zhan Tian is my old friend, and I do not wish for him to die. You, my only protégé, promise me you will return alive!"

"Prioritize your own safety above all else. If the situation becomes untenable, then that will simply be Zhan Tian's fate!"

"Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan flashed a grin. "Do not worry, Chief Eunuch. You know me well; I fear death the most!"

"If you truly feared death, you wouldn't be going there in the first place."

...

Night descended.

After an intimate session with the two women, holding them close on either side, Chen Xuan spoke, "I will be departing the Imperial City tomorrow for some time. Will you both remain here, or will you return to the Primordial Realm?"

Hearing this, the two women exchanged glances.

"Return to the Primordial Realm!"

They responded in unison.

Xiaoqi was currently within Star Hall, and they couldn't simply go there. With Chen Xuan absent, remaining in the Imperial City felt pointless; returning to the Primordial Realm seemed the better course.

The sisters had been in seclusion for so long; perhaps they were on the verge of emerging.

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan tightened his embrace around the women. "Then I shall escort you both back to the Primordial Realm tomorrow."

At the crack of dawn the following day.

Chen Xuan briefly instructed Kang Bai to watch over Liu Sheng before quietly departing the Imperial City alongside the two women.

Half an hour later!

The trio entered the Primordial Realm. Chen Xuan cast a fleeting glance around before taking his leave.

"Why does it feel like husband seems somewhat different this time?"

Lan Meng’Er turned to Gu Pengyou, inquiringly.

"It's nothing. Husband is incredibly powerful and has mastered the Rule of Space; there won't be any issues."

...

Hidden Forest Abyss!

Following the complete eradication of the forces belonging to the two races within Yong’an Prefecture, the Great Yu army resumed its vigil over the area.

The Seventeenth Prince, Qin Ming, remained in command of the garrison.

Chen Xuan, equipped with the necessary Token, passed through without any hindrance and subsequently infiltrated Hidden Forest Abyss undetected.

"This place is the complete antithesis of the Stone Race territory."

Transforming into a Thunder Spirit Mosquito, Chen Xuan surveyed the sprawling mountainous landscape before him. The vibrant scenery and the sweet fragrance permeating the air, coupled with towering trees that seemed to scrape the heavens, painted a stark contrast.

Compared to the desolate Stone Race, this location was akin to paradise on earth.

"I must locate a Tree-man swiftly, otherwise, as time passes, I risk being suppressed!"

Previously, upon entering the Stone Race, he had utilized innate concealment and hadn't perceived any suppression. He only learned of this effect later from Liu Sheng.

Maintaining strict control over his aura, he soared towards the mountain range.

The Thunder Spirit Mosquito, no larger than a grain of rice, expertly navigated through the mountains. With innate concealment activated, its presence was utterly undetectable by spiritual power, only becoming potentially visible to the naked eye at extremely close range.

"Where do you suppose the Clan Leader and the others have gone?"

"So many powerful individuals from our clan have vanished?"

As Chen Xuan was discreetly searching for a suitable target, a clear voice suddenly reached his ears.

From above!

He darted towards a nearby leaf, concealing himself, and peered upwards through a gap in the foliage.

On the enormous tree, two members of the Tree-man Race were concealed by the thick leaves, their verdant complexions and distinct abilities rendering them almost invisible.

Without the aid of Telepathy, locating them would have been an exceptionally challenging feat.

"Two at the First Layer of the Dao Realm!"

Chen Xuan instantly ascertained their cultivation levels.

"I'll tell you, but promise not to spread this, alright?"

The individual on the left whispered, his voice lowered.

"Have no worries, I am known for my discretion. You already know this, don't you?"

"I heard they supposedly journeyed to the Blood Cry Realm."

"What? That's impossible, surely?"

The man on the right found this hard to accept. There was no known passage connecting the Hidden Forest Abyss and the Blood Cry Realm; how could they have traveled there?

"I would never deceive you!"

The man on the left appeared quite displeased at being doubted. His family occupied a significant standing within the Tree-man Race; otherwise, how would he have access to such information?

His own cultivation was regrettably weak, merely at the Dao Realm level.

If his strength were greater, he might have also ventured to the Blood Cry Realm.

"And what were they doing there?"

"That much, I do not know."

The man on the left gestured with his hands. Even if he possessed the knowledge, he would not dare to divulge it, as it pertained to a secret of the tribe.

"Very well, not much is happening recently. I shall depart first. You maintain your watch here."

The reason he shared this information was, naturally, contingent upon certain conditions.

This particular region bordered the outermost territories of the Human Race.

Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to be negligent, but during this current period, the Human Race posed no immediate threat and was unlikely to make any aggressive moves.

"Understood, you may return first!"
