Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 943 495, 496: Stone Cave, Natural Chasm

"Chief Eunuch, when are we heading to the Stone Cave?"

Right now, Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered with anything else; his top priority was the Stone Cave.

Earlier, Zhan Tian had informed him that securing the Mother Liquid of the Stone Race would guarantee jade-like bones without issue.

He could potentially progress even more.

Additionally, all the knowledge Zhan Tian possessed had been completely shared with him.

"What's the rush!"

Liu Sheng shot him a glare before adding, "An Array covers the Stone Cave entrance, suppressing the space itself. How exactly do you intend to enter?"

"Hehe, the kid simply wants that Mother Liquid as soon as possible!"

Chen Xuan laughed lightly, "Plus, I'm certain the Chief Eunuch has everything planned out."

"Enough with the flattery!"

"Put your safety first no matter what. If getting it proves impossible, don't push your luck!"

His words finished, Liu Sheng's face grew stern.

"Relax, the kid fears death more than anything and won't take foolish risks!"

"Good, or else my entire investment goes down the drain."

Chen Xuan carried all of Liu Sheng's hopes.

Failure meant total devastation for him.

"Just await the update."

Saying this, Liu Sheng gradually shut his eyes.

"Understood..."

Helplessness washed over Chen Xuan. Without Liu Sheng's guidance, he was stuck, particularly since entering the Stone Cave solo was impossible as described.

Nightfall!

"Knock knock knock..."

The abrupt knocks forced Chen Xuan's eyes open in surprise.

"Get the door!"

Liu Sheng uttered calmly, eyes still shut.

With a slight nod, Chen Xuan approached the door, swung it open, and found a brocade-robed middle-aged man waiting outside.

"It's him!"

To his shock, it turned out to be Lang Fei, Minister of the Three Judicial Departments in Bright Moon Mansion!

He had encountered Lang Fei during his prior infiltration of Bright Moon Mansion.

"Come in!"

"Thank you!"

Once inside, Lang Fei hurried to Liu Sheng, bowed deeply, and said, "I've come to meet the Chief Eunuch. Elder Zhan has set everything up."

"In three days, spirit stones will arrive at Bright Moon Mansion, escorted by the Three Judicial Departments to the Stone Cave."

"However, regarding the Stone Cave itself..."

Lang Fei paused uncertainly; such a spot was beyond a mere minister's reach.

"No need to fret!"

Liu Sheng replied gently, "Simply join the escort squad with us; handle the routine transfer, and leave the rest alone."

"Yes!"

Lang Fei dipped his head, "I'll inform the Chief Eunuch in three days!"

"Very well!"

"Little Lang departs now!"

With a nod to Chen Xuan, Lang Fei left the room.

"Little Lang!"

"Why not Mr. Lang?"

Chen Xuan pitied him deeply; what a fine surname, ruined like that.

Liu Sheng glanced up at him briefly, "The Lang Family owes a debt to Zhan Tian from the past, making them utterly reliable."

"At the Stone Cave, preparations are in place. You'll just slip in using your cover."

"My thanks for your hard work, Chief Eunuch."

Genuine thanks poured from Chen Xuan.

Among the three most dangerous sites, the Stone Cave stood out with its tight security; even Liu Sheng required a valid pretext to access it.

"Trifles like these aside, stay utterly vigilant inside the Stone Cave."

"The Stone Race has greatly enhanced their power recently; the interior's true state remains unknown."

"I cannot accompany you, yet for dangers..."

From his pocket came two copper coins.

Unlike typical yellow ones, these gleamed white and black.

"What are these...?"

Ignoring the question, Liu Sheng flung the black coin his way, "In dire straits, trigger it—I'll detect it immediately!"

"Got it!"

Chen Xuan swiftly tucked the black coin securely into his pocket.

It served as his ultimate safeguard.

Three days flew by.

As dusk settled, Bright Moon Mansion's Three Judicial Departments convoyed the spirit stones en route to the Stone Cave.

Chen Xuan and Zhan Tian, now disguised as white-robed figures, had seamlessly merged with the team.

"Chief Eunuch, the journey spans roughly ten days; please endure it."

Inside the carriage, Lang Fei addressed him deferentially.

"Understood."

"No need to come here; it attracts unwanted eyes."

A minister casually approaching the white-robed carriage screamed abnormality.

"Yes!"

With a nod, Lang Fei smiled and clarified, "All those present are reliable, no problems will arise."

"Then little Lang bids farewell."

Once Lang Fei departed, Chen Xuan commented, "Looks like he has a favor to ask?"

"Yes!"

"The Lang Family offended Duke Liu back then, and Zhan Tian stepped in to rescue them. Yet, all these years later, their yearning to return to the Imperial City remains strong."

No surprise, after crossing Duke Liu.

"What makes the Imperial City so special? Serving as a local official feels pretty comfy, doesn't it?"

Lang Fei thinks so, and Pang Sida shares the same view.

Liu Sheng was shocked by Chen Xuan's remark.

This was Great Yu's Imperial City—others battled fiercely to get in, but he seemed utterly nonchalant.

"Each year, Emperor Yu chooses talents from Imperial City families, sending the selected ones soaring up the ranks."

"On top of that, Imperial City status opens doors across the Great Yu Hundred Mansions; the perks are beyond your imagination, and anyone itching to challenge you thinks twice."

"But everything starts with stepping into the Imperial City!"

"Haha!"

Chen Xuan scoffed inwardly.

That easy?

"Getting into the Imperial City isn't so straightforward, right?"

"Of course!"

Pride shone on Liu Sheng's face.

"The Imperial City has limited space; families must shell out hefty sums just to gain entry rights."

"That's only the qualification! You still have to wait in line!"

"Kid..."

Liu Sheng eyed him, "Don't take it lightly. Do you have any idea how long the queue stretches now?"
