Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 947 495, 496: Stone Cave, Natural Chasm

Suddenly!

Chen Xuan detected the spatial ripple.

As the fog slowly cleared away, the entire group, along with the crates brimming with spirit stones, found themselves within a light yellowish realm.

"No one is allowed to explore here, violators... will be killed!"

Upon stepping into this realm, the man's face turned grave. Merely uttering "kill" unleashed a horrifying murderous aura from him and his black-armored companions.

Even Lang Fei, familiar with this place from multiple visits, paled noticeably.

This aura stemmed from countless brushes with death; foes of matching cultivation would falter before it.

Liu Sheng, meanwhile, gave a subtle nod, his features lighting up with approval.

This was the Great Yu army!

Great Yu's stability rested solely on their shoulders.

"Follow me!"

Having issued the caution, the man pressed onward, the wagon trailing slowly with black-armored warriors on either side.

Chen Xuan took in the surroundings.

This had to be the Guard Army's encampment.

Spacious tents lined up orderly along the sides.

Yet scarcely any soldiers occupied them.

"Where are the tens of thousands of Guard Army troops?"

Chen Xuan wondered in confusion.

"Is this still not the Stone Cave entrance?"

At last, they arrived at the far end, where a grand black stone palace loomed into view.

The palace's emergence amid the sea of tents felt strikingly out of place.

Chen Xuan gazed upward, noting the hall's inky blackness.

Intricate runes adorned the enormous stones.

Most striking were the twin massive black doors, radiating an aura of utter invincibility.

"This black stone is no ordinary material!"

For it to evoke such a sensation in him, one could imagine it as a top-tier crystal stone.

"Open the door!"

The man bellowed toward the palace.

Shortly after!

"Rumble..."

The enormous black doors ground open with a deep rumble, and a middle-aged figure in dark robes emerged leisurely from within.

"Greetings, General Wu!"

"Hmm!"

Wu Guang gave a faint nod, then commanded, "Move the spirit stones inside!"

His order barely spoken, the black-armored guards sprang into motion, hauling the wagon's crates toward the hall.

With crates overflowing and guards too few, he gestured at the white-robed group, "You lot, carry the boxes!"

Chen Xuan and Liu Sheng were included among them.

"So that's the setup!"

Chen Xuan realized inwardly, seeing the light.

The guard by the entrance eyed Wu Guang questioningly; no outsiders were permitted inside the hall.

Yet Wu Guang outranked him greatly, so he held his tongue.

Chen Xuan trailed Liu Sheng now, lifting a man-high box together, chuckling to himself.

The esteemed Chief Eunuch of the Ritual Department stooped to such grunt work.

Word of this leaking out would shock the empire's elite.

One by one, they passed through the doors, and Chen Xuan felt another spatial shift.

The vista transformed once more.

Right before him!

A massive chasm split the earth in twain.

"Is the Stone Cave on that side?"

Chen Xuan sensed a unique energy emanating from there, faintly spotting shadowy figures.

Too distant for a clear view, though.

"This must be the Stone Cave's gateway!"

Flanking the chasm stood a throng of heads in uniform black armor, like a gigantic predator poised; merely being near made Chen Xuan's pulse quicken.

Though these sentries lacked peak power individually, bolstered by the formation, no one below the eighth layer of the Dao Realm could breach them, Chen Xuan judged.

"Impressive!"

"Worthy of Great Yu!"

Chen Xuan praised despite himself.

His eyes fixed on the chasm!

More tents dotted that area!

Now, their guide halted at a azure tent.

"Put them all into this tent."

After directing them, he entered alone.

The moment the crates were deposited inside, the carriers exited without delay.

But for Chen Xuan, Wu Guang signaled Liu Sheng with a nod before stepping into the inner chamber.

"Follow!"

Liu Sheng whispered to Chen Xuan.

Entering after.

Liu Sheng was seated already, Wu Guang attending deferentially nearby.

"It's him; arrange for him to enter the Stone Cave."

Wu Guang laughed without probing further, "That's easy, the Stone Cave has been quite active recently; during the battle, he can just slip in."

"Has the Stone Race been so active lately?"

Liu Sheng knitted his brows.

"Hmm!"

Wu Guang responded in a low voice, his face growing solemn too, "Furthermore, a growing number of experts are emerging. Without the array operating at full capacity and bolstering the guard forces, the defense might have faced real trouble."

"I'll station myself here for some time!"

"The Chief Eunuch plans to remain here?"

Joy surged through Wu Guang; the support of such a powerhouse filled him with great confidence.

"I won't intervene unless the defenses are breached."

Wu Guang's smile froze in an instant; he glanced toward Chen Xuan, sensing the latter had reached the same conclusion.

Liu Sheng's decision to stay must be on account of him.

"Then please remain here, Chief Eunuch. Issue commands freely whenever necessary."

"I've already assigned two men to impersonate the Chief Eunuch outside."

"In just a few days, I'll resolve his identity matter."

Liu Sheng nodded in approval of the setup, "I trust you with these affairs—carry on!"

"Yes!"

Wu Guang answered softly, nodded to Chen Xuan, and departed soon after.

Stepping outside, he commanded the two black-armored guards, "No one enters the tent without my direct order!"

"Understood, General!"
