Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 130 - 129: Forced!
In the blink of an eye, it had been half a month since Pei Geng and the others left Youlan Mansion.
During this time, Chen Xuan went to the City Lord’s Mansion every day.
Upon seeing Ye Yilan, he would ask, "How is Lord Mansion Master? Any good solutions?"
The last time he asked, he was scolded and told to get lost and not bother him, that he would be informed if there was any news.
At the same time, he ordered that without his permission, Chen Xuan was not to be allowed into the City Lord’s Mansion.
Thus——
Unable to go to the City Lord’s Mansion, Chen Xuan simply slacked off, stopped going to the Divine Capture Bureau, and stayed at the Chen Mansion.
Training during the day, resting at night!
...
In a side room, Chen Xuan finished his cultivation and habitually checked his panel.
[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Third Grade (Organ Refinement (26%)), Spirit Cultivator: Fifth Stage]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Zhen Realm), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Third Layer (16/32000))...]
[Skills: Eight Directions of the Netherworld (Mastery (180/20000))...]
[Skill Points: 8612]
After upgrading the Myriad Manifestation Skill to the third layer, his spirit cultivation also reached the fifth stage, leaving him with over 8000 skill points.
This was the change over the past half month.
Overall, there was no significant change in strength.
"Sigh!"
He sighed softly, casually closed the panel.
He got up and went to the backyard, it was already completely dark.
Gazing at the full moon in the sky, Chen Xuan fell into thought.
It’s been half a month, the army should be reaching Youlan Mansion soon!
There was still no word from Ye Yilan, but Qin Gang came to the Chen Mansion yesterday and told him that the Allied Forces of Celestial Water Commandery had gathered all the military forces of Yu Province, just waiting for Great Xia.
"The calm before the storm?"
Chen Xuan muttered quietly.
...
The next morning.
While Chen Xuan and some women were having breakfast, Zhuge Potian sent someone to the Chen Mansion.
"Bai Ze has entered the city with the Imperial Army first!"
And the first thing Bai Ze City did was summon all registered martial artists above fifth grade in Youlan Mansion.
So Ye Yilan ordered him to go to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Though the messenger seemed urgent, Chen Xuan continued eating his breakfast leisurely and didn’t leave until he was fully satiated, then slowly took a carriage to the City Lord’s Mansion.
...
At this moment, there were only four people in the hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Mansion Master Ye, this time I only brought two second-grade experts, and I’ve heard the Allied Forces have at least seven or eight, so I need you to hold off a few second-grade experts from the Allied Forces."
Bai Ze’s words seemed polite, but carried a tone that brooked no refusal.
"Ha!" Ye Yilan sneered, not giving him any face, instead mocking, "The esteemed Grand Commander of the Inspectorate, the Butcher, dares to enter a sect alone, yet needs me for a few second-grades?"
"Moreover, my health hasn’t been good lately, it’s not convenient for me to make a move, you better report to the court and have them send more second-grades for you."
Go yourself! Dream on!
Moreover, the most important thing was that Xuan Er was in closed cultivation at the City Lord’s Mansion, and he couldn’t leave even a step.
If anything happened, he could notice immediately.
So, no matter what, he would not go.
"Ye Yilan, I received approval from the court to requisition experts from various prefectures and commanderies, think carefully, you’re not just refusing me, you’re refusing the court, this is a serious crime! Are you sure you can bear it?"
Bai Ze’s eyes were ice-cold as he threatened.
"Then you go ahead, if not, I’ll send you a carriage, I’m just waiting here at Youlan Mansion!" Ye Yilan said nonchalantly.
He had no objection to mobilizing the forces of Youlan Mansion, but now they wanted him to fight too, what a pipe dream!
"Hmph," although Bai Ze was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it.
However... well, he was just mentioning it casually, not holding much hope.
"You don’t have to go, but except for you, all martial artists in Youlan Mansion above fifth grade must participate, all of them!"
He emphasized the word "all"!
"What do you mean?" Ye Yilan raised an eyebrow. He had already ordered all forces in Youlan Mansion and even the experts from noble families to participate, even Feng Zheng was not exempt, but now what did he mean by emphasizing those words?
"I know your daughter is an exceptionally talented Spirit Cultivator, this time I brought the Nine Dragons Array, needing a Spirit Cultivator, so you don’t have to join, but your daughter must!"
This was his true purpose, after all, spirit cultivators were too rare.
Of course, if Ye Yilan could also join, that would be even better.
"You’re courting death!" Ye Yilan was furious, his tone icy, his eyes cold, as he slowly rose, releasing his full second-grade aura.
A violent wind rose in the entire hall.
The immense pressure swept toward Bai Ze like a tide.
"Bai Ze, if you want a fight, just say so, see if I dare take action or not!" Ye Yilan pointed at him with one hand, his long hair rising, shouting fiercely.
Ye Jincen was his lifeline.
Even if he went to the battlefield, he wouldn’t let her go.
Now that Bai Ze targeted his precious daughter, he really was asking for death!
"Mansion Master Ye, calm down, Marshal Bai just wants to borrow Miss Ye for controlling the array, it’s at the rear, there’s no real danger!" At this moment, a middle-aged man nearby hurriedly stepped out to explain.
When Bai Ze proposed this idea, he had already said, impossible!
Everyone knew how doting Ye Yilan was towards his daughter, there was no way he would agree to such a dangerous thing.
But he couldn’t understand why, knowing he would be refused, he still asked.
"No way!" Ye Yilan refused flatly, "As long as I’m alive, no way!"
No matter who, even if His Majesty was here, he would say the same.
"Ye Yilan... what audacity you have!" At this moment, Bai Ze squinted his eyes, his killing intent overflowing, and he stood up as well, "You are disregarding Great Xia, you are a treacherous minister, on the path to death!"
The momentum of the Second Grade erupted, instantly shaking off his aura.
"Heh!" Ye Yilan sneered, "Treason? If I, Ye Yilan, am a treacherous minister, then there are few loyal ones in Great Xia! Ridiculous!"
Ye Yilan, back then, for the Emperor to ascend the throne, made great contributions, almost dying in the process.
It was because of these contributions that when he pleaded with the Emperor to spare Xuan Er, the Emperor agreed, albeit with conditions, but it was still an acknowledgment from the Emperor. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Now Bai Ze actually called him a treacherous minister! What a massive joke that is.
"Ye Yilan, I give you one more chance, do you agree or not?" Bai Ze had lost his patience with the entanglement, if Ye Yilan didn’t agree, he was going to take action.
"No way, even if you ask ten thousand times, the answer is still the same!" Ye Yilan shouted angrily.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the momentum from both of them surged to the peak of the Second Grade.
Their powerful auras began to entangle within the hall, and roaring sounds echoed.
"Marshal Bai, calm down, Mansion Master Ye, calm down, we are all on the same side, no need for this!"
"Indeed, the two armies are about to engage, if either of you gets hurt, it would be a loss for Great Xia."
"Exactly, my lords, please, whatever you have to say, discuss it peacefully."
At this time, despite enduring great pressure from both of them, the two people brought by Bai Ze forcefully spoke to persuade them.
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Both of them snorted coldly at the same time, then restrained their aura.
Seeing this, the two of them exchanged looks, breathing a sigh of relief, truly afraid that these two would start fighting.
Being peak Second Grade masters, if they really fought, and news reached His Majesty, it would cause significant trouble.
"Except for you and your daughter, everyone else goes to the frontline!"
Bai Ze left a sentence, then left the City Lord’s Mansion with the two people.
"That dog."
After he left, Ye Yilan cursed angrily.
But soon, after calming down, he realized something was wrong.
"He deliberately provoked me."
After all, who didn’t know that he doted on Ye Jincen, yet even so, Bai Ze dared to speak up, which was clearly off.
"He’s trying to force the second one to show up and attack him!"
At this moment, he finally understood.
Luckily, the second one was in secluded training, having sealed the study, otherwise, with his temperament, he definitely couldn’t bear it and would take action.
By then... Bai Ze would have a legitimate reason to deal with him.
"Damn it!"
"This dog has always had the intention to kill the second one over these years!"
At this time, Chen Xuan had just gotten off the carriage, along with him, Zhuge Potian was present.
Looking worried.
"Lord Zhuge, is it really necessary to worry like this, it’s already a done deal, worrying won’t change it." At this moment, Chen Xuan began to tease.
In any case, he had come to understand it.
If he had to go, then he would just be more cautious, after all, he had the Divine Movement Technique, if he couldn’t win, he could at least escape.
"You brat, really..."
Zhuge Potian was speechless, was he any better when he told him it was Bai Ze back then?
And now he was teasing him?
Just then, Bai Ze and his two companions happened to walk out.
The moment he saw him, Zhuge Potian involuntarily trembled and hurriedly saluted, "Greetings, Lord Bai Ze,"
At the same time, he quickly gestured towards Chen Xuan.
"He’s Bai Ze?"
He didn’t seem that fierce, but he promptly saluted, "Greetings, Lord Bai Ze!"
"Rise!"
Bai Ze slightly lifted his eyelids, first scrutinizing Zhuge Potian, Fourth Grade, not bad.
Then he looked at Chen Xuan.
"Hmm?"
His brow slightly furrowed, then he unleashed a burst of spiritual power, instantly transforming into a massive dark red python, baring its bloodthirsty fangs and charging at Chen Xuan.
"What!?"
Chen Xuan didn’t expect Bai Ze to suddenly attack him, and even Zhuge Potian beside him was dumbfounded.
Facing the giant python, an immense pressure surged over him.
"No! I can’t withstand it!"
Not only that, the python’s aura locked onto him, making evasion impossible.
Just as he took a step forward and was about to use the Divine Movement Technique.
Suddenly, a stern shout came from the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Presumptuous! Bai Ze!"
In an instant, a golden giant palm appeared, fiercely slamming onto the python.
"Boom!"
A loud noise erupted, followed by a powerful impact that sent Chen Xuan flying into the air.
Fortunately, Ye Yilan appeared just in time behind him, gently tapping him to stabilize his posture.
"Good, very good, hahaha..." Bai Ze suddenly laughed, completely ignoring Ye Yilan’s anger, and left with his two companions.
At this moment, Chen Xuan, still in shock, looked at Ye Yilan whose face was ashen.
He asked, "Why did he attack me?"
