Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 940 494: Terrifying Strength

Within the majestic grand hall.

Zhan Tian offered the seat of honor to the Hall Master.

He took the position on the lower left, with Xiaoqi standing right beside him.

Chen Xuan sat next to him.

The princes of Great Yu took their places one by one in the lower right.

"Zhan Tian, have you thought it over?"

The Hall Master gazed at him and inquired.

"What do you think?"

Zhan Tian didn't answer right away; instead, he turned to Xiaoqi.

Yet Xiaoqi was overly deferential, so his eyes shifted to Chen Xuan, leaving the choice in his hands.

"You're grown up now, follow your heart—your father has no issues with it!"

In truth, deep worry gnawed at him regarding the Star Hall Master.

He pondered what secrets the man might have uncovered earlier!

Could Xiaoqi use this chance to probe his hidden truth?

That fear loomed largest in his mind.

"There's no need for concern; I simply admire the boy's potential!"

Suddenly, the Hall Master's voice echoed directly in Chen Xuan's consciousness sea.

His pupils shrank in an instant.

Sound transmission had pierced straight into his consciousness sea!

He cast a subtle glance upward, his wariness of the Star Hall Master surging even higher.

"I..."

Xiaoqi hesitated deeply; young as he was, he grasped that Zhan Tian's deep respect meant...

"I am willing!"

These three words brought a grin to the Hall Master's face.

"Excellent!"

He then told Zhan Tian, "I'll head back to the Star Hall ahead; bring the child soon."

"Understood!"

Zhan Tian nodded firmly.

The Star Hall Master's form slowly blurred, vanishing entirely.

"Your decision is wise—keep no second thoughts!"

Zhan Tian ruffled Xiaoqi's hair.

The Hall Master ranks as Great Yu's top Spirit Cultivator; even Emperor Yu once sought his counsel at the Star Hall.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhan—you'll forever be Xiaoqi's master!"

Xiaoqi beamed with joy, his earlier reluctance stemming mostly from dread of upsetting Zhan Tian.

After all, Zhan Tian was his official master now.

Switching to another for cultivation felt improper.

His words now eased all those concerns.

"Follow Grandpa Zhan; I'll get them to prepare your favorite meals."

"Really? Thanks, Grandpa Zhan!"

"Hahaha... Grandpa Zhan swore it to you long ago!"

Grasping Xiaoqi's hand, he glanced at Great Yu's three princes. "You youngsters talk freely; this old fellow won't interrupt."

"Thank you, Elder Zhan!"

The trio chorused their thanks.

Princes or not, they revered Zhan Tian greatly—in Great Yu, power reigns supreme.

Particularly for powerhouses like him.

Now, just the four remained in the grand hall.

"Congratulations, Brother Xuan! With Xiaoqi mentored by both Elder Zhan and the Hall Master, his prospects are boundless!"

Qin Hong grinned and offered his felicitations.

This marked a Great Yu first.

"Thank you!"

Chen Xuan smiled calmly, unflappable even before princes.

"Who's this?"

Chen Xuan gestured toward Qin Junmo.

"My second brother, Great Yu's Second Prince, Qin Junmo!"

Qin Hong introduced him with a smile.

"Last night, I dispatched men to summon you, but some mix-up occurred—my regrets."

"No worries!"

Chen Xuan dismissed it with a wave. "There was indeed a matter; please forgive me, Second Highness!"

"All good! From here on, we're kin—just say the word, and it's done."

Qin Junmo gave a slight nod.

Family!

It fit perfectly; wedding Qin Ying would make him imperial kin.

"With nothing else, I'll be off."

Chen Xuan stood unhurriedly, ready to leave.

From beginning to end, he spared Qin Tiandao not a single look.

Without Liu Sheng's save, the fifth prince's hand would have ended him.

This grudge burned eternally in his memory.

Were he not Qin Tiandao's ally, Chen Xuan would have struck already.

Still, Qin Tiandao's face stayed impassive amid the snub.

But the moment Chen Xuan exited the grand hall,

Qin Tiandao's voice rang out.

"Let's call the past a misunderstanding and make peace?"

Chen Xuan halted briefly at the words, yet strode on as though deaf to them.

Reconciliation?

Nearly slain, brushed off as mere misunderstanding?

A mere prince lacked the stature for that!

Ignored once more by Chen Xuan, Qin Tiandao's features finally twitched.

"Brother, a matter of life and death isn't easily resolved, right?"

Qin Hong shot him a amused glance.

Although he hadn't caught their earlier voice transmission, he figured Qin Tiandao had made some offer that Chen Xuan rejected.

A wave of inner delight washed over him at once.

He'd been rebuked by Qin Tiandao time and again before, so naturally, watching him get rebuffed brought him joy.

"Indeed!"

Qin Junmo gave a slight nod. "Given his talent, power, and backing, settling this won't be simple."

With a perfect chance to rib Qin Tiandao, he wasn't about to pass it up.

"Then, don't worry about it, brothers!"

Icy-faced, Qin Tiandao stormed out of the Three Judicial Departments.

Only Qin Hong and Qin Junmo stayed behind.

"Second brother, care for a drink?"

"Why not! Progress is blocked, so let's booze up to calm our restless hearts!"

Among Great Yu's princes, Qin Tiandao topped the strength charts, with Qin Junmo next, then Qin Hong, and the Third Prince trailing last.

Surprisingly, he claimed that rank among the four.

But Qin Tiandao held an edge they lacked: elite powerhouses!

Intel they'd gathered revealed the Western King had covertly groomed three Dao Realm eighth-level experts for him.

They couldn't confirm the precise count, of course, yet they knew Dao Realm eighth-level experts were definitely there.
