Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister

Youlan Mansion, Chen Mansion!

"Thank you!"

After the great battle, Ye Jincen willingly nestled into his embrace and whispered softly.

"Thank what? We're family, it's what I should do!"

Chen Xuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, speaking softly.

"By the way, I might not come back for the next few days, I need to go to Donghuang Commandery!"

Currently Great Zhou and Great Xia have gathered all their forces. My lord is at least a Fourth Grade expert, surely he will go to Donghuang Commandery as well.

So, while the war between the two nations still has some time, he needs to find him as quickly as possible.

And take him away from this place of trouble.

Otherwise, once the war starts, he will be cannon fodder.

The accomplishments he has now owe greatly to my lord, and Chen Xuan has long regarded him as family.

If something happens to him, he will never be at peace for the rest of his life.

"Are you looking for my lord?"

Though she hasn't met him, she often heard Su Wanqiu and the others mention this person, knowing he holds significant weight in Chen Xuan's heart, so she guessed right away.

"Hmm!"

"I want to meet my lord too!"

"You will, very soon!"

Chen Xuan spoke softly, recalling the scene when he left in his mind.

"My lord, oh my lord!"

...

At dawn, Chen Xuan quietly left Chen Mansion and went straight to Donghuang Commandery.

Perhaps it was too early, the street he was on was deserted, he didn't encounter a single idle person, but met quite a few patrolling guards in the city.

"It's so big!"

Chen Xuan swept with spiritual power and frowned.

The main city of Donghuang Commandery is more than ten times larger than Celestial Water Commandery.

It's truly a headache!

Searching little by little not only costs time but also heavily exhausts spiritual power, not to mention spending considerable time just on the main city of Donghuang Commandery, outside of which are millions of Great Zhou soldiers too!

Moreover, doing it so recklessly will surely cause concern from Great Zhou.

"Forget it, rather than hopelessly searching around, better to find Zhou Yi!"

He's just finding a person; I'm sure it can't be refused, right?

He then stepped forward and appeared before a grand gate.

His sudden appearance immediately startled the guards at the gate.

"Who goes there? Leave at once!"

The leading guard shouted, but his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Chen Xuan.

He appeared quietly, without the slightest sense, and he was a Second Grade Martial Artist!

Of course, he wasn't afraid. Here was heavily guarded because the Regent King of Great Zhou, Zhou Yi, was here.

Otherwise, a Second Grade wouldn't be guarding the gate here.

"I'm looking for Zhou Yi, would you please inform him?"

Being in need, Chen Xuan kept a low profile.

Needless to say, someone at Second Grade naturally wouldn't be as blind as the young city guard of Great Xia before.

So he asked, "Who are you, sir?"

He had to ask clearly before letting him in to announce.

"Chen Xuan!"

Just those two words caused his pupils to contract sharply! His face instantly changed.

It's him!

The one who once suppressed sect leaders single-handedly, including one from his own sect.

"Please wait a moment, I'll inform the Regent King immediately!"

"Thank you!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, initially thinking it would take some effort, but it went so smoothly.

Judging by his expression earlier, he seems to have recognized him.

"Haha, I do have some reputation!"

Laughing inwardly.

A moment later,

"Lord Xuan, the Regent King invites you! Please follow me!"

"Alright!"

He then followed behind him, passing through gate after gate, finally stopping before a grand hall.

"The Regent King is waiting for you inside!"

His head slightly bowed, although Chen Xuan hadn't said a word throughout, he didn't know why he felt a great pressure in his heart.

"Hmm!"

Slightly nodding, he then entered the hall alone.

"Long time no see, Senior Zhou Yi!" Chen Xuan greeted with a smile.

"It has been a while. You are...? What brings you here at such a sensitive time between Great Zhou and Great Xia?"

Just hearing the name 'Chen Xuan' reported was enough to make his heart skip a beat.

Seeing his expression, Chen Xuan understood and explained with a smile: "Senior Zhou Yi, you don't have to worry. I represent myself, having no relation with Great Xia."

"That's good!"

Zhou Yi slightly nodded, easing his mind.

For who wouldn't fear facing such a master? Especially one who possesses the terrifying Divine Technique.

This makes it even harder to kill him.

Even if by chance, killing him would bring a consequence too great to bear.

Then he asked, "What brings you here is...?"

"I need your help to find someone!"

"Find someone?"

"Yes! It's him!" Then, spiritual power carved the appearance of my lord in the air, followed by: "Fourth Grade cultivation... perhaps also Third Grade!"

"Alright! I'll immediately send someone to search!"

Without the slightest hesitation or questioning who this person is, Zhou Yi immediately agreed.

Chen Xuan was very pleased with this.

"Of course, I won't let you help for free. I won't interfere in your affairs!"

"Alright!"

Zhou Yi's pupils suddenly dilated, exchanging a search for his non-involvement. This deal was too good.

He would dig up Great Zhou to find this person if he had to.

"Then I'll wait for the good news from senior. During this period, I'll be staying at the Ink Moon Inn in Guhe Commandery City! I suppose you can contact me, right?"

"Of course!"

No matter how strict the investigations of Great Xia are, he still arranged quite a few people within Guhe Commandery.

Chen Xuan's figure gradually became ethereal, disappearing within the great hall.

"Divine Techniques of Instantaneous Movement!"

Zhou Yi squinted his eyes, a trace of dread flashing across them.

"Someone, summon Zhou Ling to the great hall!"

"Yes!"

Outside the gate of the great hall, a maid dressed in black responded respectfully.

...

Back in Guhe Commandery, Chen Xuan was wandering the streets.

Street vendors were hawking their goods as people bustled about buying food.

A bustling and lively scene, seemingly unaffected by anything.

This was in stark contrast to Donghuang Commandery.

Looking at this lively atmosphere, his mood improved a lot, and he walked up to a stall, "How much is this?"

"Sir, this is top-grade donkey meat bun, half a tael of silver each!"

This... so expensive!

Though he didn't mind, it was unaffordable for ordinary people.

He thought the war had no impact, but it seems the city's prosperity is only superficial.

Seeing his brows furrow, the vendor hurriedly explained, "Sir, you know the situation now, can't help it, prices have risen!"

"Hehe, give me three!"

Then he tossed him two taels of silver, "No need for change!"

"Alright, thank you, sir!"

The vendor took the silver, his mouth splitting in a wide grin.

However, he began to chatter as well.

"Things are getting more expensive, and business is getting worse."

"Sigh!"

"We have no choice either!"

"Who knows when this will end, and life can get better."

"Sir, here you go!"

He respectfully handed over the items with both hands as he spoke.

Chen Xuan took the three buns, then continued to wander around, looking here, buying there.

"This is life!"

Each street vendor, for the sake of three meals a day, toiling day in and day out.

These ordinary people have such modest demands.

It's just... war!

...

Ink Moon Inn!

Xuan Er and the others were staying here.

He came to a brown door on the third floor, 'knock knock knock'!

"Come in!"

Chen Xuan pushed the door open and saw the two quietly cultivating. He casually put some food he'd bought on the street on the table and smiled, "Got some food for you to try!"

Ye Yilan opened his eyes, stopped, got up, walked over to the table, picked up a bun, smelled it, and showed a slightly disdainful expression, "Is this ordinary meat? There's no essence in it!"

As the Mansion Master of Youlan Mansion, he usually ate demon beast meat or rare meat.

He hadn't eaten something like this in who knows how many years.

"I think it's pretty good. Eating demon beast meat every day, trying this for a change isn't bad!"

Then he took a bite.

Hmm!

Really, the taste was quite nice, no wonder people said delicious food often hid on street stalls.

"Just eat, so much talk!"

Xuan Er directly stuffed one into his mouth, then started eating himself.

"Hey, I must say, the taste is quite unique!"

After taking a bite, Ye Yilan also looked surprised. Accustomed to sumptuous meals, these coarse foods had an unexpected charm.

He then sat down, trying each item on the table one by one.

The more he ate, the more he enjoyed it!

Complimenting continuously.

...

At this time, in the council hall of Guhe Commandery.

Qi Lin and Ye Jing sat on either side, while at the head sat a woman, her long hair like a waterfall, with valor and elegance, dressed in a red gown.

Especially those eyes, exuding a pressing pressure.

"How much of the five provinces' forces have assembled?"

Seeing this, Qi Lin, the National Preceptor, stood up, looking at her with extreme respect, "Reporting to Princess, according to daily reports, about thirty percent have assembled!"

"It will take at least another month!"

As the only child of the Sovereign of Great Xia, Xia Yi, Xia Lingyu raised an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with his answer.

"Twenty days! Heavy penalties for violators!"

The voice was not loud but carried an undeniable authority.

"Yes!"

Qi Lin could only comply reluctantly.

He knew her character well, being authoritative, and disliked others questioning her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the leader of the Dark Guard.

He then looked at Ye Jing, "Have all the scattered Dark Guards arrived?"

"Reporting to the leader, except for the three in Donghuang Commandery, all other scattered Dark Guards have arrived, except for Ye Yilan, these people have blended into one large camp!"

"What do you mean except for Ye Yilan?"

Xia Lingyu's gaze turned sharp, but then she understood, "That person also came along?"

"Yes, leader! He is rather assertive! I was also worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so I let them be!"

Under her pressure, Ye Jing could only report truthfully.

"Understood!"

Xia Lingyu nodded slightly, not blaming him.

However...

"Assertive, huh? I would like to see just how assertive!"

"Hmph!"
