Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 742 - 428: Liu Sheng, Zhan Tian, National Preceptor!
Wood Shadow furrowed her brows.
The Silvermoon Stone hidden in a space rift was discovered?
Even she couldn’t manage that.
The characteristic of the Silvermoon Stone was to completely block any aura, making it appear as an ordinary stone wherever it was placed.
"He’s only at the fifth level of the Dao Realm, how did he find it?"
Wood Shadow muttered to herself.
And... if he truly doesn’t know about the Shadow Guards... then this could be troublesome?
Although a Prefecture King means nothing to her, still... he is a king of Great Yu.
He hasn’t committed any transgressions, and with Liu Sheng protecting him now, it won’t be easy to make a move against him openly.
But no matter what, this matter won’t be let go of so easily.
She would not easily spare anyone who dared to challenge the authority of the Shadow Guards.
...
The next day.
News of Chen Xuan being assassinated again spread throughout the Imperial City, and the rumors said it was the work of the Shadow Guards, causing an uproar.
In the past, the Shadow Guards kept watch over them, leaving them no choice but to endure it.
In time it became a habit.
As long as nothing outrageous was done, there were generally no problems.
But this time... how dare the Shadow Guards commit such a blasphemous act.
Fourth Prince’s Mansion.
"Where did this news come from?"
Qin Hong asked the servant who came to report.
"Reporting to Your Highness, it suddenly appeared, as for the source... it has not yet been found."
The man answered respectfully with his head slightly lowered.
"You may leave."
Qin Hong waved his hand as he spoke.
After the man left, he looked at Wu Ma, "What do you think?"
How could the Shadow Guards possibly do something as absurd as assassinating a Prefecture King of Great Yu, unless Chen Xuan had committed some treasonous act.
But if that were truly the case, this wouldn’t be the result.
Once, a small family in the Imperial City had connections with Hidden Kill, and the Shadow Guards nearly all moved out.
They directly massacred everyone.
The scene stunned all the eminent figures in the Imperial City.
No investigation, no evidence made public.
Nothing at all, just a direct massacre!
Because of this event, those influential figures, one by one, were intimidated into behaving meekly.
They were truly frightened.
So he concluded that Chen Xuan hadn’t done anything treasonous.
But if that’s the case, why did the Shadow Guards make a move on him?
"I don’t know, would Your Highness like to invite him over?"
Wu Ma asked.
"I should probably pay him a visit."
Qin Hong chuckled, "My brother-in-law really knows how to stir things up. First it was the Shen Family, then the Eldest Imperial Brother, and now he’s even entangled with the Shadow Guards."
Even he at this moment could not help but admire Chen Xuan.
He’s truly a troublemaker.
"By the way, inform Long Da to also pay a visit; it would be good to relay the message to Qin Ying later."
Although she is in the Qin Emperor Sacred Land, her current status surpasses even that of the Eldest Imperial Brother.
Ancient lineage revival.
And far beyond those who came before.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.
If his bloodline had revived, that position would certainly be his.
"Alas!"
He sighed inwardly, perhaps this is destiny?
But thankfully it’s Qin Ying, his own sister, which is the best outcome.
If it were anyone else, for him... it would be a disaster.
...
"So that’s the Imperial Capital Three Judicial Departments?"
Chen Xuan stood by the window, his gaze directed at a slightly yellow building tens of stories high, some ten thousand meters away.
It was the inn closest to the Three Judicial Departments.
Yesterday he wanted to have a look around nearby, but it wasn’t long before he was driven away by people from the Three Judicial Departments.
Moreover, the space within a thousand meters of the Three Judicial Departments was extraordinarily solid. Even with his current understanding of the Rule of Space, he couldn’t tear open the space.
Even through a space rift, entry within a thousand meters of the Three Judicial Departments was blocked.
"It should be related to that, right?"
Chen Xuan’s gaze moved to the top of the Three Judicial Departments’ building, where a half-meter wide round stone was embedded at the pinnacle.
The entire stone emitted a faint silver glow.
"What exactly is that thing?"
Chen Xuan speculated softly.
After a while, Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, realizing that to understand the specifics of the Three Judicial Departments, he would have to go inside.
"To meet Zhan Tian?"
A thought emerged in Chen Xuan’s mind.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Chen Xuan’s brow raised slightly, "What’s the matter?"
But his gaze continued towards the direction of the Three Judicial Departments.
"Lord Xuan King, the Fourth Prince has arrived."
Shi Jian’s voice came drifting in.
Qin Hong?
"He’s arrived quite promptly."
Upon hearing the news, he already guessed he would come, but he didn’t expect it would be so soon.
He then exited the room, entered the living room, and approached the door.
"Creak."
The door slowly opened, revealing Qin Hong smiling at him.
"Now the entire Imperial City is buzzing about you, yet here you are, leisurely enjoying yourself."
"That’s because the people in the Imperial City are too idle."
Chen Xuan replied with a smile, then gestured for him to enter, "Come on in."
"Alright!"
Qin Hong nodded slightly and entered the room, while Wu Ma behind him didn’t intend to enter, standing guard outside.
Chen Xuan closed the door.
The two sat facing each other, "This isn’t the Prince’s Mansion, so I won’t have tea prepared."
"It’s alright, I don’t particularly like drinking tea either."
"By the way, Long Da should arrive shortly. If there’s anything you want to say, you can have him pass a message."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile.
He could easily guess that Long Da was alerted by him.
"So, what exactly is going on? Did the Shadow Guards really make a move on you?"
"And was this news leaked by you yourself?"
