Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 995 512, 513: I Pity Them!

"Alas!"

Cai Kun uttered a prolonged sigh, acknowledging that Great Yu had resolved to eradicate the perilous Stone Race entirely.

However, failure in this endeavor would not only result in immense embarrassment for Great Yu but also a devastating blow to its overall strength.

"Let us join forces. Since we've already committed, we must give it our all," Cai Kun stated.

Chen Xuan placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, offering words of comfort.

"By the way, who has been assigned to lead this crucial expedition?"

Cai Kun understood Chen Xuan's inquiry; after all, such significant campaigns invariably necessitated a capable leader to guide the efforts.

"Duke Yuan! He was the most enthusiastic about this mission, so naturally, he's been chosen to lead!"

Suddenly!

Chen Xuan detected an unsettling undercurrent in the situation.

Something felt amiss!

"It appears there's more to this than meets the eye!"

Chen Xuan mused inwardly.

He then bid farewell to Cai Kun and made his way to the Ritual Department, recognizing that the elder, having endured such a setback, would likely require some solace.

Upon Chen Xuan's arrival at the Ritual Department, Kang Bai emerged to personally welcome him, having already been informed of his visit.

"You scoundrel, you've finally arrived. You wouldn't believe the recent troubles with the Chief Eunuch... alas, it's too much to bear," Kang Bai lamented.

"The Chief Eunuch holds you in high regard; perhaps you can persuade him. Please try your best!"

Kang Bai clasped Chen Xuan's hand, conveying that certain matters were too sensitive to be spoken aloud. Even Kang Bai himself had been on high alert recently, making it easy to imagine the anxiety of others.

A single misstep could result in severe reprimands or punishment from Liu Sheng.

"I understand. Where can I find the Chief Eunuch? I'll go see him immediately!"

"He's in his study. I'll lead you there!"

With that, the two hastened towards Liu Sheng's study.

Within the study, Liu Sheng was deeply engrossed in reviewing the recent military deployments of Great Yu.

The Imperial Army, the Three Judicial Departments, and even the Dragon Guard had dispatched elite personnel.

"What if other dangerous regions were to erupt simultaneously..."

A flicker of worry crossed Liu Sheng's face.

Despite the Stone Race having lost two key figures, Li Mu, a formidable Spirit Cultivator, remained. When Li Shen was killed, Chen Xuan had not considered eliminating Li Mu as well, but the overwhelming aura and terrifying Spiritual Power displayed then had given even Liu Sheng pause.

It was clear that Li Mu was no ordinary opponent.

A top-tier Spirit Cultivator like Li Mu was undoubtedly more formidable than the Stone Race's Three Great Ancestors.

Furthermore, the overall strength of the Stone Race had not diminished significantly.

This was hardly an opportune moment to initiate hostilities.

It could potentially destabilize Great Yu, especially with the mobilization of the Imperial Army and the Three Judicial Departments.

Should the hidden forces decide to act, the repercussions would be unfathomable.

"Damn these treacherous fiends!"

Liu Sheng cursed vehemently, just as Chen Xuan and Kang Bai reached the study entrance.

Kang Bai gestured towards the study with a wry smile.

Chen Xuan returned the smile and stepped forward, knocking firmly on the door: "Knock, knock, knock!"

"Chief Eunuch!"

Just as Liu Sheng was about to respond with annoyance at the interruption, he softened his demeanor upon recognizing Chen Xuan's voice. "Come in!"

Kang Bai stood there, rendered speechless.

Was the disparity between individuals truly so vast?

This was incredibly unfair!

Chen Xuan glanced back at Kang Bai, inquiring with his gaze whether he wished to enter.

Kang Bai, however, shook his head repeatedly; he decided against entering, feeling the stark contrast too keenly and needing a moment to compose himself.

Noticing this, Chen Xuan pushed open the study door and entered alone.

"Greetings, Chief Eunuch!"

Chen Xuan offered a respectful bow to Liu Sheng.

"Why have you come to the Imperial City? Is something troubling you?"

Liu Sheng understood Chen Xuan's character well; he wouldn't appear without a reason, especially not having left the Bright Moon Mansion.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan responded with a disarmingly innocent smile. "I do have a matter regarding Elder Zhan, but I heard the Chief Eunuch has been feeling rather down lately, so I came specifically to offer my concern, sir."

"Child, am I truly that old and frail?"

Liu Sheng shot him a playful glare before sitting down. Noticing Chen Xuan still standing, he glared again. "Sit yourself, do you expect this old man to offer you a seat?"

"How could I dare!"

Chen Xuan's face was wreathed in smiles as he took a seat beside Liu Sheng. His gaze fell upon the tea on the table; he rose slightly, touched the teapot, and finding the tea lukewarm, channeled some spiritual power into it.

Instantly, the tea began to boil.

However, deeming this insufficient, he drew upon the spiritual liquid within his dantian. "Lend me a drop of spiritual liquid!"

"Ah—"

The spiritual liquid seemed taken aback; apart from its existence on the Holy Mountain, this was the first time it had ever communicated.

"Hurry!"

Chen Xuan urged impatiently.

"Oh!"

Despite its reluctance, the spiritual liquid reluctantly squeezed out a single drop, which materialized at Chen Xuan's fingertip.

"Hmm?"

A sound of bewilderment escaped Liu Sheng as he thought, "Mother Liquid?" This must be incredibly pure Qi he was sensing.

"Indeed, the Stone Race refers to it as spiritual liquid," Chen Xuan confirmed.

Chen Xuan carefully added this drop of spiritual liquid to the teapot. After a gentle shake and pouring a cup, he offered it to Liu Sheng, "Chief Eunuch, please calm your anger. Whatever has transpired cannot be undone, and dwelling on it will only bring more distress."

"I strive my best, and leave the rest to the heavens!"

Liu Sheng accepted the teacup, his gaze fixed on Chen Xuan. "It is far simpler to utter such words than to truly achieve them!"

He then took a deep gulp of the tea, now infused with the potent spiritual liquid.

"Boom!"

Immediately, a torrent of pure Qi surged through his entire being. Even his divine soul, nestled within the sea of consciousness, experienced a profound sense of comfort.

The long-simmering anger that had plagued him for days began to gradually recede, leaving him feeling remarkably revitalized.

"Magnificent! Truly magnificent stuff!"

Liu Sheng could not help but exclaim in praise. The sheer potency of this spiritual liquid was undeniable, as it had produced such a powerful effect even on him.

Observing Liu Sheng's visibly improved demeanor, Chen Xuan poured himself a cup and took a modest sip.

"It is indeed exceptional!"

He nodded in agreement, the only pang of regret being the scarcity of the precious liquid.

Noticing the smile that had now graced Liu Sheng's features, Chen Xuan decided to broach the subject. "Chief Eunuch, what prompted this sudden action against the Stone Race? As I recall, neither you nor the Nineteenth Prince had initially intended such a course of action."

"Hmph!"

A cold snort escaped Liu Sheng's lips as he forcefully placed the teacup back on the table, grumbling, "Is it not all because of that damned scoundrel!"

"Duke Yuan?"

Chen Xuan inquired, testing the waters.
