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

"Even I find it strange!"

Xuan Er looked at the devastation below and was deeply shocked. Is this the reality of war between two nations?

Just the initial battle resulted in such heavy casualties.

Compared to this, the previous annihilation of the sect by the Great Xia was insignificant.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan felt something strange.

He then closed his eyes, carefully sensing the battlefield.

"What is this...?"

The next moment, the power of the Seven Layers of Purity erupted completely, and the overwhelming aura even pierced through the heavens, changing the sky's color and stirring up a storm.

This unexpected change startled Ye Yilan.

"What's going on..."

But upon seeing Chen Xuan's serious expression, he immediately fell silent and then looked at Xuan Er.

He only saw him shaking his head.

"Just wait and see."

After all, Chen Xuan's strength now is unfathomable, and the gap between them cannot be described as a mere divide—it's as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

At the very least, he couldn't see any issue.

"How strange!"

"I can't see it clearly, but I can sense it."

At this moment, on the battlefield below, silver threads of essence were being drawn by an invisible force toward the direction of the Great Xia!

Not only that, but another force was also directing these silver threads toward the Great Zhou!

"Is this silver thread essence?"

Murran opened his eyes.

It was too bizarre, these two forces...

At this moment, an absurd idea suddenly emerged.

"What did you discover?" Xuan Er asked at this time.

"I'm not sure!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, then thought of something and asked, "Where is the Great Xia's array set up?"

"At the rear of the army! But it's heavily guarded, with many top experts! Nobody is allowed to approach." Ye Yilan knew this because he had passed by it a few days ago when he went to the Dark Guard.

"I'll go take a look!"

With that, he followed the direction indicated by the invisible force.

He needed to confirm whether it was as he suspected in his heart.

If it were true, then this war was a conspiracy!

How dare they!

Do they really not fear divine retribution!

"Old Second..."

Ye Yilan looked at Xuan Er.

"Let's follow and see first!"

"Alright!"

The two then followed behind Chen Xuan, and they continued flying towards the direction of Guhe Commandery.

Suddenly,

Chen Xuan stopped.

"It's right here!" His eyes were fixed on an altar below, towering dozens of meters high.

There were several layers of arrays protecting it, and even his spiritual power couldn't penetrate it.

"Telepathy!"

He shouted in his heart.

Immediately, his eyes emitted a dazzling glow. This time, he used all his strength, without holding back.

He wanted to see what this altar was up to!

"Presumptuous! No one is allowed within a thousand meters of the formation!"

A loud shout echoed through the void. The next moment, three men in black appeared in Chen Xuan's sight.

"Leave immediately!"

The man in the middle spoke again, his eyes coldly staring at Chen Xuan.

"Commander Han!"

At this moment, Ye Yilan hurriedly flew to Chen Xuan's side, gave a slight bow, and explained, "The three of us are just passing by and will leave immediately!"

With that, he tried to pull Chen Xuan away.

But Chen Xuan evaded him.

Not only that, but he also stepped forward, standing just a step away from Commander Han.

The two locked eyes!

This scared Ye Yilan, who quickly glanced at Xuan Er, giving him a look to pull Chen Xuan back.

Moreover, he knew that the National Spirit had already arrived.

If a fight broke out, even though Chen Xuan was immensely powerful, if Xia Lingyu leveraged the National Spirit, he wouldn't gain any advantage.

But Xuan Er did not make any move.

He understood Chen Xuan well—he never meddled in unsolicited matters, but this time was an exception, and it seemed his emotions were off.

But he believed that this guy wouldn't act without reason, so he also wanted to know what had provoked him.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Chen Xuan spoke for the first time, his tone grim, eyes sharp.

It was only just now that he realized that the invisible force originated from the altar, intending to absorb the essence of the soldiers from the battlefield.

As for the Great Zhou's side, although he hadn't been there, he suspected it was a similar situation.

Thus, a chilling thought formed in his mind.

"Chen Xuan, we don't need to report our actions to you. Leave here immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Instantly, the three unleashed a powerful aura, intending to intimidate him.

"Just one with the Five Layers of Purity, and two with the Four Layers of Purity, do you have the right to be arrogant?"

Chen Xuan scoffed.

"Boom!"

The aura of the Seven Layers of Purity exploded, and the immense pressure instantly bore down on the three.

"Get down!"

With a sudden shout, the forces from the Eight Directions of the Netherworld pressed the three people rapidly towards the ground.

Under Chen Xuan's full exertion, the three had no strength to resist.

"Stop!"

At this moment, a sharp voice echoed. Xia Lingyu instantly appeared in front of Chen Xuan, with a golden dragon shadow circling behind her.

The aura she unleashed at this time was no weaker than Chen Xuan's.

"Chen Xuan, are you seeking death?"

Xia Lingyu stared at him fiercely, holding a long whip, and the spiritual power on her body, under the golden dragon shadow's influence, even caused the space to tremble.

"Hmph!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly but dispersed the power from the Eight Directions of the Netherworld that was bearing down on the three.

Without this force, the three instantly retreated behind Xia Lingyu, looking at Chen Xuan with gloomy expressions.

Especially Commander Han, whose eyes almost spewed fire.

He, a proud Dark Guard Commander, had no power to retaliate in front of him, even under the watchful eyes of all. It was truly a complete loss of face.

"Chen Xuan, I've given you enough respect. The things you asked for, I've also given to you. What more do you want? Don't think that just because of the Seven Layers of Purity, you can act recklessly!"

"I'm acting recklessly?"

Chen Xuan laughed suddenly, but that smile abruptly vanished, his expression turning extremely cold as he asked icily, "Who exactly is acting recklessly?"

"Do you want me to say what you're doing with this altar?"

"Shut up!"

Xia Lingyu rebuked angrily, "We of Great Xia do not need to explain our actions to you!"

"Of course, you don't need to explain to me, but about the Demon Race, don't you know? Does your emperor not know either?"

Dammit!

Whether it's Great Xia or Great Zhou, they must know about this matter.

But even so, to deliberately start such a war now, is it just to collect the essence of these soldiers?

This is no longer a war; it's a blatant massacre with both sides collaborating!

This is what enraged him.

However, to his surprise, after hearing the word 'Demon Race', Xia Lingyu's aura instantly dissipated, and her expression became complicated, "Come with me!"

Then she flew towards the lower camp.

"Master, you all wait here; I'll go take a look!"

Chen Xuan said to Xuan Er and then also flew downwards.

In the tent.

Xia Lingyu sat at the top, no longer possessing her earlier imposing aura.

At this time, Chen Xuan also slowly walked in; the two of them locked eyes.

"What do you want to say?"

He wanted to see what Xia Lingyu had to say.

"What you saw is true, but it's not what we wanted."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding her meaning.

"The Demon Race is about to descend, how did you know about this?"

Xia Lingyu did not answer him; instead, she asked.

After all, this matter was only known to her and her emperor father in Great Xia, even Qi Lin didn't know, and in Great Zhou, only Zhou Zheng knew.

So, she was curious about how he found out.

In response, Chen Xuan didn't hide anything from her, telling her about the White Fox and the terrifying Cyan Fox.

"I see! No wonder you knew."

Xia Lingyu said slowly.

"Now it's your turn, knowing that the Demon Race is about to descend, why do you still wage war? This undoubtedly consumes the strength of the Nine Provinces. Don't you know that even in ancient times, even at the cost of extinction, they barely resisted the Demon Race?"

He was eager to know what these two emperors were thinking.

"I don't know the specifics either." Xia Lingyu showed helplessness, this was the first time she didn't call herself 'Bengong' in front of Chen Xuan.

Just the first battle caused more than sixty thousand casualties.

Those were the soldiers of Great Xia; how could she not be heartbroken.

"You don't know?" Chen Xuan's voice immediately rose, his heart filled with even more doubt.

"Yes! I don't know! This was all my emperor father's idea!"

She also didn't understand what her father and Zhou Zheng discussed that required the initiation of this war.

At first, she thought her father wanted to reclaim the Four Provinces.

But the order sent by her father two days ago left her dumbfounded.

"At any cost, regardless of life or death, wage war with Great Zhou! Win or lose, it doesn't matter!"

What does that mean?

Even if they lose, the soldiers of Great Zhou must all die?

She couldn't believe this order was given by her emperor father.

Too abnormal!

And after today's great battle, the array on that altar started operating on its own, as if it had its own consciousness.

Even when she ordered it to stop, it couldn't be stopped.

Upon a thorough inspection, she discovered a force of essence appeared at the center of the array!

Only after forcibly elevating with the National Spirit to the Seven Layers of Purity did she realize that this was the essence of the fallen soldiers on the battlefield.

In that moment, it felt like she was struck by lightning, leaving her stunned.

Long after, a terrifying thought formed in her mind, "It was all her emperor father's doing intentionally!"

But why?

She didn't believe her father was a ruthless emperor; even when he exterminated those sects of Great Xia, she thought her father's actions were justified. Those sect members completely disrespected Great Xia and only disrupted its stability.

They deserved to die!

But these people were all loyal soldiers of Great Xia, dedicated to its cause; why would her father deliberately lead them to their deaths?

So she planned to return to the Imperial City today to ask clearly why.

But surprisingly, Chen Xuan had already discovered the problem so soon.

Chen Xuan used telepathy to observe Xia Lingyu continuously, confirming she wasn't lying.

Even she didn't know?

Why was Xia Yi doing this?

The doubts in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
