Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 152 - 151: He’s Not Dead!

"They’re gone!"

With a soft exclamation, he then walked towards the main street.

Although he didn’t know where the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower was, since Gu Xiu said it was at the very center, it should be simple.

Just head along the main street towards the center.

Have to admit,

Celestial Water Commandery is much larger than Youlan Mansion, estimated to be over ten times bigger.

And this is just the inner city.

However, along the way he met five or six groups of patrols, which surprised him greatly. The ordinary people in Celestial Water Commandery showed no fear towards them, and he even saw quite a few people greeting them.

Such a thing, even in Youlan Mansion he had never seen.

At least when he was in the Divine Capture Bureau, ordinary people would immediately avoid his carriage.

"This Yi Army is really different from the Great Xia."

Chen Xuan felt quite emotional at this moment.

At this point, the sky had darkened, and the people on the street had significantly decreased.

And the patrols had increased.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his gaze landing on a patrol leader.

It turned out to be an acquaintance.

It was Primordial Thunder from the black market!

"Why is he here? This is trouble!"

Primordial Thunder was quite good to him back then, even after Lord Chen Xiu left, he helped him a lot.

But now Celestial Water Commandery was about to be blood-refined by Gu Xiu using the array formation.

"Should I warn him?"

At this moment, Chen Xuan was caught in a dilemma, if he leaked the information...

But if he didn’t say anything, he couldn’t get past his conscience.

He then made up his mind.

His lips barely moved and the next moment, he vanished into the night.

Primordial Thunder who was originally patrolling immediately froze, stopping in his tracks.

"What’s wrong, Lord Yuan?"

A young man behind him immediately asked.

Primordial Thunder frowned deeply, that was the voice of Chen Xuan kid, was he also in this Celestial Water Commandery?

"It’s nothing, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I’ll be right back, you guys continue, I’ll catch up later."

Although not knowing why he had to meet him like this, he decided to go meet him anyway.

Besides, he had some good news to tell him.

"Yes, Lord Yuan! Let’s go, brothers!"

The young man waved his hand and led the team to continue patrolling.

After they left, Primordial Thunder walked towards the nearby alley.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was already in the alley, upon seeing Primordial Thunder’s figure, with a cautious look, he immediately laughed and said, "Long time no see, Lord Primordial Thunder!"

The alley was too dark,

Primordial Thunder followed the voice and saw a blurry shadow, lowly probing, "Chen Xuan?"

"Indeed, it’s me!"

Chen Xuan slowly walked over, as soon as he entered the alley, he reverted to his previous appearance.

At this moment, Primordial Thunder could see clearly.

The vigilance disappeared accordingly, and a smile appeared on his face, a big hand firmly patting his shoulder, "Kid, haven’t seen you in years, how come you’re in Celestial Water Commandery too!"

"And, what about Ning Xian? Is he here too?"

"I’ve always been in Youlan Mansion! Uncle Ning and the others returned to Yunze County."

"Oh, Youlan Mansion, I thought..."

The words hadn’t finished when he froze, the smile on his face disappeared, "You...have always...been in Youlan Mansion?"

The emphasis on "always" was significantly heavier.

"Yes! Always been there!"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s affirmation, Primordial Thunder was stunned, "Impossible!"

It’s not that he didn’t believe Chen Xuan, it’s truly too outrageous, Celestial Water Commandery has been surrounded by Great Xia’s army for over half a month, how could he possibly come in?

Could there be another passage into Celestial Water Commandery?

If that’s true, then...Celestial Water Commandery is too dangerous!

"Don’t worry, only I can come in, you don’t need to worry." Chen Xuan explained seeing his changed expression.

But he didn’t reveal the specific reason.

"Phew...that’s good."

Although not revealing the specific method, he still trusted Chen Xuan, or rather, trusted Chen Xiu’s judgment.

"By the way, Chen Xiu isn’t dead!"

"What? Lord isn’t dead? What exactly happened?"

With just a simple statement from Primordial Thunder, Chen Xuan immediately became tense.

"You don’t know?" Seeing his reaction, Primordial Thunder immediately understood, it seems he wasn’t aware of Chen Xiu’s situation.

So he said, "The reason Chen Xiu was so eager to leave was because he couldn’t live much longer, years ago he was hunted by the Inspectorate, although he narrowly escaped, he was severely injured."

"Originally I thought, it’s been so many years, it should be fine, but actually it’s not, instead, it’s getting worse."

"Phew...phew...phew..."

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s chest was surging, he now finally understood why Lord Chen was so insistent on leaving alone.

Originally he thought he wanted to go back to his hometown for a visit.

"I was truly too foolish!"

He blamed himself inwardly.

"But now, it’s all fine. After the rebel army broke through Yu Province, he encountered people from the Sect who rescued him. Not only is he unharmed, but his cultivation has also been restored. He’s now a Fourth Grade expert, and he’s even obtained a Third Grade Cultivation Technique. With his talent, reaching the Third Grade is only a matter of time!"

At this moment, a look of envy appeared in Primordial Thunder’s eyes.

This is the advantage of having a Sect, unlike him, who is a lone wanderer.

"That’s good!" Hearing that uncle is alright, Chen Xuan also felt relieved, but quickly asked, "So where is uncle now?"

"The last time I saw him, he mentioned he was going to Yan Province, but that was a year ago, so I don’t know now."

Yan Province, huh!

Chen Xuan firmly remembered, and vowed to find his uncle when he had the chance.

After all, everything he has now, even with the system, owes a lot to his uncle. Moreover, he knows that his uncle truly treats him like family.

"Alright, I won’t keep you any longer. No matter how you got in, you should leave quickly!" Saying this, he leaned in closer and whispered, "Last time, I accidentally overheard a piece of news. Celestial Water Commandery is setting up an array even more powerful than the one at the city gate!"

"It not only has strong defenses but can also monitor the entire Celestial Water Commandery. To prevent spies from the Great Xia!"

Monitoring the entire Celestial Water Commandery?

Why does it feel like they’re targeting him?

In this situation, besides his Divine Step ability to enter Celestial Water Commandery, there’s no other way, right?

At this moment, he was truly thankful he came early. If the grand array were set up, he would be in real trouble.

But... what should he do?

Primordial Thunder probably guessed his identity, yet still reminded him, making him feel both a warm glow and deep sadness in his heart.

"Can you still leave this Celestial Water Commandery?"

"Leave? Why?"

He knew this kid wouldn’t say this for no reason. Could it be that Great Xia is making a move against Celestial Water Commandery?

He knew that last time the four major city gates were almost broken.

Is it about that Dragon Array?

"Leave Celestial Water Commandery as soon as possible. It’s about to become unsafe here. I’d say within ten days or so, they’ll make a move."

"Impossible!"

Primordial Thunder shook his head solemnly.

"The rebel army is extremely strict, whether it’s with the army or patrol teams like us. They check attendance daily, and if you run and get caught, you’ll be executed publicly, no matter who you are!"

Previously, someone tried to escape because they feared the city would fall, but on the first escape attempt, they were caught that night.

They were executed in front of everyone to serve as a warning.

Since then, no one dared to think of escaping.

"But you can rest assured, once that grand array is set up, we’re not afraid of that Dragon Array anymore."

So, it’s still safe here in Celestial Water Commandery.

"Alright, I have to go. If I linger too long, it’ll be hard to explain if I encounter the patrol. You should leave quickly too." With that, he patted him once more, then promptly left the alley.

Watching him depart, Chen Xuan’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Even though he had guessed his identity, Primordial Thunder didn’t ask much.

He even revealed the plan about Celestial Water Commandery setting up a grand array.

Just like in Yunze County, he cared for him like an elder, urging him to leave quickly.

"What should I do!"

Chen Xuan stated helplessly in his heart.

He really wants to save Primordial Thunder, but... he really can’t.

"Hope that grand array can hold up."

At this moment, he had no other option.

...

About an hour later, he finally placed the blood-red porcelain bottle atop the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, then without the slightest pause, used Divine Step to leave Celestial Water Commandery.

He arrived in the command tent.

"My lord, it’s been placed," Chen Xuan respectfully stated as he handed Silver Moon to Gu Xiu.

"Alright, I sensed it. Keep that as a gift. It’s not anything valuable, so it’s useless to me."

Gu Xiu waved his hand.

But Chen Xuan’s heart gave a sudden jolt.

Gu Xiu sensed it!

Luckily, he didn’t act recklessly. After parting from Primordial Thunder, he had considered casually placing the porcelain bottle somewhere and passing it off.

He suspected that Gu Xiu had a specific reason for instructing him to place it atop the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

Ultimately, he refrained, worried that Gu Xiu might have laid a trap.

Now he was truly grateful he didn’t act rashly.

Otherwise... it would have been genuinely dangerous.

"In about ten days or so, the materials needed to set up the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array will arrive. You’re only a Fourth Stage Spirit Cultivator, take your time to comprehend it, don’t let any issues arise, otherwise..."

Even though Gu Xiu didn’t finish his sentence, Chen Xuan understood.

He quickly reassured, "Don’t worry, my lord. I will fully comprehend it!"

"Good!" Gu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, "You can leave now!"

"Yes!"

After saluting, Chen Xuan left the command tent.

Even after returning to Ye Jincen’s tent, he dared not show the slightest emotion. Perhaps because he had been continuously concealing his presence with his talent since leaving the command tent, he sensed a wisp of spiritual power lingering around him.

No need to guess, it was definitely Gu Xiu’s.

Though he appeared composed on the outside, internally, his heart was tumultuous.

"Did you encounter any danger?" Ye Jincen asked.

"No!" Chen Xuan forced a smile, trying to appear natural. "It’s just that Celestial Water Commandery is too large, and I didn’t dare use my spiritual power, so it took some time."

"That’s good!"

Though he knew he could completely conceal his aura, since Chen Xuan left, his heart hadn’t been at ease.
