Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 937 - 493: The Hall Master Arrives

Over the Three Judicial Departments.

The sky, previously bright and clear, abruptly turned dim, plunging into darkness like the dead of night in mere instants.

"Rumble..."

Streaks of lightning ripped across the void as the Spirit Tribulation came into being.

Beneath it, Xiaoqi kept her composure, utterly unshaken.

Zhan Tian moved ahead at that instant, bellowing, "All white-robed guards, deploy! Anyone who dares come within ten thousand meters of the Three Judicial Departments will be slain on the spot without mercy!"

"Yes!"

...

A chorus of affirmations rang out, and soon after, the white-robed guards poured from the Three Judicial Departments, securing the ten-thousand-meter radius with sharp eyes on every direction.

Cai Kun positioned himself a thousand meters distant as well.

"Elder Zhan told us not to worry, yet he seems the most anxious of all!"

He mocked inwardly.

Inside the Three Judicial Departments, a grave look etched Zhan Tian's face as he stared intently at the gathering Spirit Tribulation overhead, his eyebrows tightly knit.

"What a fierce Spirit Tribulation!"

"True, it packs quite a punch!"

Chen Xuan drew near, murmuring quietly.

"How does it stack up against the one you faced?"

This father-son pair was exceptional indeed, and he wondered which one's tribulation held the edge.

"Roughly the same, though..."

"Mine was a bit more intense!"

Chen Xuan chimed in.

"Even fiercer than this one!"

Zhan Tian felt a shock deep inside.

After pausing briefly, he declared just two words: "Monstrous!"

"Thanks for the praise, Elder Zhan!"

"You’re shameless."

Zhan Tian had no retort; this fellow's cheek exceeded even his own.

"Rumble..."

A crimson lightning bolt lashed down from the Spirit Tribulation, bathing the whole sky in a glaring scarlet glow.

It looked utterly sinister.

"What crushing pressure!"

Following that strike, an overwhelming force descended over the Three Judicial Departments, aimed straight at the Divine Soul.

Chen Xuan glanced at the women nearby right then, noting their faces twisted in discomfort, and was on the verge of acting.

Luan Ying released waves of Spiritual Power to shield them, blocking out the oppressive weight.

Chen Xuan immediately relaxed.

Yet Zhan Tian gave a surprised hum: "This young lady's Spiritual Power is impressive!"

His eyes turned to Chen Xuan next; the boy was incredibly fortunate. Among the women, only one lagged at the Profound Realm—the weakest—while the others all reached the Dao Realm.

"Nothing special, merely third level of the Dao Stage, barely adequate."

Chen Xuan remarked offhandedly.

Zhan Tian didn't bother replying.

When did third level of the Dao Stage become so casual and just 'adequate' in his mouth?

These Spirit Cultivators at that stage were prized assets in Great Yu.

Still...

His sight dropped below, and with a surge, his Spiritual Power expanded, covering the entirety of the Three Judicial Departments in its protective embrace—save for their spot.

Chen Xuan eyed the visible Spiritual Power down there, his features tightening.

The brawny Zhan Tian surprisingly wielded such potent Spiritual Power; he couldn't help blurting, "Elder Zhan, what's your Dao Stage level?"

"Nothing much, only seventh level!"

"Ah yes, adequate!"

Uh—

Chen Xuan's expression soured at once, twisted like he suffered from severe indigestion.

This elder... what a performer.

Truly fitting for Great Yu's powerhouses—none were ordinary.

Zhan Tian, focused mainly on physical might, still boasted horrifying prowess in Spirit Cultivation!

Zhan Tian caught the look from the corner of his eye and inwardly delighted.

"You brat, take that for your bragging!"

Rumble...

High above, with the Spirit Tribulation fully taking shape, one crimson bolt after another hammered down.

Suddenly, the Three Judicial Departments seemed drenched in bloody light, evoking a nightmarish inferno.

The massive disturbance inevitably attracted crowds.

Thankfully, Zhan Tian's prior orders ensured the white-robed guards repelled any who ventured too close!

Exceptions existed, naturally!

Qin Hong reached the Three Judicial Departments' outer edge. Such a spectacle tied to them meant he got word right away.

"Your Highness, halt please. Elder Zhan commanded no entry within ten thousand meters of the Three Judicial Departments!"

Though facing Great Yu's Fourth Prince Qin Hong, the mere white-robed guard steeled himself to enforce Elder Zhan's decree.

"How dare you!"

Wu Ma rebuked fiercely—a mere white-robed guard daring to obstruct Qin Hong? Truly seeking death!

Yet Qin Hong raised his hand, "It’s fine!"

After all, this fell under the Three Judicial Departments' domain; his royal prince title carried little weight here.

Smiling faintly, he inquired, "Who’s undergoing the Spirit Tribulation, stirring up such a massive disturbance?"

"Reporting to the Fourth Prince, it’s Elder Zhan’s personal disciple!"

"Elder Zhan’s disciple?"

An eyebrow arched on Qin Hong’s face. Since when had Zhan Tian taken a disciple, and one directly under him no less!

Why hadn’t any such intelligence reached his ears?

"That must be Prince Xuan’s son, isn’t it?"

Right then, a voice drifted over from the distance.

"Big brother, you’re a bit late."

Qin Hong murmured gently, recognizing the speaker without a glance.

"Whether I’m late or not is irrelevant. Fourth brother, you arrived early yet linger here waiting, don’t you?"

Qin Tiandao strode up to him with an impassive tone.

"Big brother, are you going in?"

Goading him like this, Qin Hong naturally refused to yield and fired back with a jest at once.

"No need, Elder Zhan stands as a key pillar of our Great Yu; I respect him deeply. If entry’s barred by him, surely there’s purpose behind it."

This round saw Qin Hong thoroughly bested once more.

"Big brother is indeed big brother. On this point, I as your little brother fall far short."

A smile played on Qin Hong’s lips as he regarded him, though his tone brimmed with biting irony.

"I can’t help it, being the big brother, I must set an example for you all. This has always been father’s expectation of me!"

These remarks flipped the mood in a heartbeat.

Having endured multiple jabs today, even Qin Hong’s countenance betrayed a subtle flicker.
