Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 984 - 508: Liu Sheng Appears!_3

However... his gaze settled on his right hand, where flesh and blood were marred, revealing bone like jade. A ferocious aura, on the verge of erupting, was forcefully suppressed. Chen Xuan looked towards the Third Ancestor with a sense of dread. It was no wonder an expert at the mid-Eighth Layer Dao Realm could inflict such severe injury with a single punch. Meanwhile, in the distance, Li Mu observed the scene with icy detachment. The sudden stabilization of the space above the royal city was his doing. "If you don't call for reinforcements now, you'll perish!" His chilling words sent a shiver down Chen Xuan's spine, even from a thousand meters away. Their eyes met. Li Mu's expression was cold and menacing; he blamed Chen Xuan entirely. Had it not been for the delays, the Li Family would not have suffered losses, and Li Fu would not have died. If not for facing the two Great Ancestors of the Stone Race, he would have personally ended Chen Xuan. "Sigh..." Chen Xuan let out a slow breath. If it were merely the initial stage of the Eighth Layer Dao Realm, he would not have been fearful. But the mid-stage... the disparity in power was immense. "Chief Eunuch... Originally, I hesitated to trouble you, but..." With that, he activated the black copper coin. Simultaneously, in the Human Race's main encampment, Liu Sheng's eyes snapped open, followed by a sigh of relief. He had been worried for so long. The activation of the black copper coin, however, signaled good news, at least indicating the young man was still alive. The white copper coin was promptly flung by Liu Sheng, transforming instantly into a portal. "Chief Eunuch!" Wu Jin abruptly ceased his cultivation and stood up. "Wait here!" "Inform your father to stand ready to assist me!" With that, Liu Sheng stepped into the portal. These two copper coins were ancient teleportation arrays; activating one would trigger a response from the other. Within the spatial passage, Liu Sheng's demeanor grew serious, his spiritual power poised for action. After all, it was the Stone Race! Even with his full strength, he lacked absolute confidence, and remaining in the Stone Race's domain for too long would invite suppression. Other perilous locations presented similar challenges. This was the primary reason the Human Race had never managed to conquer these perilous zones. As the white light at the passage's end came into view, Liu Sheng's concentration intensified, and in the next moment, the surroundings shifted, placing him above the royal city. His gaze swept across the area! All of them were Mid-Eighth Layer Dao Realm cultivators... the Li Family! Liu Sheng's eyes immediately fixed on Li Mu. The Li Family had been eradicated by the Qin Family, their kingdom usurped. He was intimately familiar with their aura, along with that faint lingering imperial majesty, which persisted even after generations. "Chief Eunuch!" Upon seeing Liu Sheng, Chen Xuan felt an inexplicable surge of security. "This is...?" Only then did Liu Sheng's gaze turn to Chen Xuan. "Li Mu, a member of the Human Race, and those three Stone Race ancestors!" "The situation, in essence, is that Li Mu intends to eliminate the three of them; ultimately, he likely plans to seize control of the Stone Race!" This was his deduction, though he believed it to be largely accurate. He was only uncertain of the methods Li Mu employed. "Utterly wicked!" Liu Sheng stared at Li Mu, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. More than the Stone Race, he yearned to kill Li Mu. "I was curious who was backing this young man; it turns out to be the esteemed Chief Eunuch Liu Sheng of Great Yu!" Li Mu commented nonchalantly. At the same moment Liu Sheng materialized, the three Great Ancestors of the Stone Race converged, the eldest among them bearing a particularly vigilant expression. A powerhouse from Great Yu! An elder of the Eighth Layer Dao Realm's peak, if in his prime, he might have posed a challenge, but now, under suppression, they were no match for him! "Boss, what should we do?" the Third Ancestor transmitted his voice. The Late Stage Eighth Layer Li Mu was already a formidable opponent; now, a Peak Eighth Layer Liu Sheng had arrived. If things turned south, the three of them might perish today. He wasn't afraid of death! But if all of them died, the Stone Race would face utter ruin! "Do not panic!" Even for Liu Sheng, their demise would not be easily achieved. "Are you prepared?" The Third and Second Ancestors heard his voice, their bodies trembling as they understood his intent. Yet, they responded in unison, "Yes!" For the sake of the Stone Race! "You and I shall join forces to eliminate those three; by doing so, the Human Race will lose a formidable adversary. What do you say?" Li Mu proposed to Liu Sheng. "Liu Sheng, you kill him, and we shall not interfere. Afterward, we will permit the two of you to depart the Stone Race." At this crucial juncture, the Great Ancestor also spoke.

Standing beside them, Chen Xuan felt a prickle of unease; these factions were ostensibly mortal enemies, yet now they were all drawn to Liu Sheng, a situation that struck him as profoundly peculiar.

He let out an internal sigh.

As the saying goes, there are no everlasting adversaries, only shifting alliances driven by mutual benefit.

However, Liu Sheng was no simpleton.

As for Li Mu, he chose to ignore the others, his gaze fixed on the Great Ancestor of the Stone Race. "Slay him, and I shall guarantee the safety of your Stone Race for a century!"

Was he being used as a pawn? Did they truly perceive him as a fool?

He observed the Great Ancestor of the Stone Race being outmatched, and a shiver of apprehension ran down his spine; this was, after all, the royal city of the Stone Race, suggesting the presence of hidden powerful assets. He believed Li Mu, a mere cultivator at the Late Stage Eighth Layer, lacked the standing to dictate terms to him.

Furthermore, as a survivor from a former dynasty, Li Mu presented a more compelling figure than the Stone Race itself.

The thought solidified: Kill him!

Even if Emperor Yu discovered his presence in the Stone Cave, he would possess a justifiable excuse, and there would be no repercussions.

"Excellent!" Chen Xuan exclaimed inwardly.

The Chief Eunuch displayed remarkable astuteness, deftly shifting the burden back onto the Stone Race with a single proposition.

"A hundred years?" the Great Ancestor mused. He was undeniably swayed by the offer, for while the Stone Race had reached its zenith, its elite power remained significantly wanting.

Only he himself had attained the Peak of the Eighth Layer Dao Realm.

Should all three of them achieve this level, even Great Yu would hesitate before confronting them.

Ultimately, even if the Stone Race faced destruction, Great Yu would suffer considerable losses as well.

Within the Eastern Continent, amidst numerous hazardous territories, the Stone Race was ranked merely third; two powers were superior, and Great Yu lacked the sheer might to contend with them all.

At this crucial juncture, Li Mu's countenance shifted, his gaze hardening as he issued a stern warning to Liu Sheng:

"Liu Sheng, you are playing with fire!"
