Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 865 - 469: Not Afraid? Then Kill!

Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

In the main hall, Ye Jinghong sat there with a solemn expression.

"What is it? Why must you see me at this time?"

Chen Xuan looked displeased; he was preparing for a Realm Breakthrough soon, this time to the fifth level of the Taoist tier.

The Unity he anticipated was about to appear.

However, he had lost too much vital energy last time, so he had been in seclusion, fully recovering his vital energy.

"In the Imperial City, dozens of elite families, including the Liu Family, Pang Family, Shen Family, and hundreds of people were slain by the Shadow Guard!"

"What?!"

Chen Xuan, who had just sat down, sprang up upon hearing this news, his face changing drastically.

These were top-tier families.

Why would the Shadow Guard suddenly take action?

Rebellion?

Impossible!

Chen Xuan instantly dismissed this idea, considering that such means were unlikely in Great Yu.

"Why?"

"Corruption!"

"Corruption?"

What kind of reason is this, Chen Xuan almost laughed.

Which of these families in Great Yu isn’t corrupt? Not corrupt? How can you sustain such massive families otherwise?

It’s completely normal.

"I’m not joking with you; that’s really the reason."

"Especially the Liu Family, even with Duke Liu present, the highest number of deaths occurred, over forty in total, including more than ten direct descendants."

Chen Xuan instantly grasped the gravity of the situation.

"Also, this time, the Ritual Department, Three Judicial Departments, and Shadow Guard acted simultaneously."

"The focus of this investigation is on mineral resources; the Liu Family controls hundreds of mines in Great Yu, especially the Spirit Stone Mines, withholding nearly fifty percent, thus having the most people killed."

After speaking, Ye Jinghong looked deeply at him, "You also possess quite a few mineral resources, don’t you?"

"Throw them away, don’t hold on to them, this time it’s not a joke."

The reason he came here immediately upon receiving the news is knowing the seriousness of the matter, to specifically warn him.

Even a colossal entity like the Liu Family can be so easily destroyed, not to mention a mere Prince’s Mansion.

"Why did Great Yu suddenly take action?"

Chen Xuan was very curious in his heart; as for his resources, he had just acquired them, losing them had little impact.

"This I do not know, but this is merely the beginning."

Ye Jinghong was equally puzzled why Great Yu would suddenly take action.

Regardless of Great Yu or previous dynasties, all are under the rule of the Imperial Family with various families serving.

To sustain a family not only requires wealth but also a vast amount of resources.

Greed... no, one cannot even call it greed; it’s merely a necessary means for sustaining a family.

This is something that the Imperial Family has always tacitly permitted.

As long as it’s not excessive.

It’s equivalent to an unspoken rule.

"Got it, I will handle this matter."

Chen Xuan nodded, after all, Ye Jinghong’s status was too low; the Ye Family was merely an insignificant presence in the Imperial City, not knowing the cause was also understandable.

"As long as you’re aware, I’ll head back to the Three Judicial Departments."

"If people from the Ritual Department enter the rMolan Mansion, I will notify you immediately, but you should hurry too."

Ye Jinghong reminded him.

"Mm!"

After he left, Chen Xuan sat there motionless; this matter clearly wasn’t normal.

Sorting through all the significant events that occurred over this period in his mind.

Pang Family... Shen Family... Shadow Guard...

"Damn!"

Suddenly cursing, it seemed like all these events had nothing to do with him.

"Why do I feel like I’m just a disaster?"

Chen Xuan’s expression turned odd.

But for the most part, he was passive, merely trying to better protect himself and those around him.

Yet, Great Yu suddenly acting like this...

"Ask Long Da, see if he knows."

Subsequently, he took a stack of Communication Spirit Talismans from his bosom, found Long Da’s, and infused Spiritual Power, "Long Da, what is the reason for Great Yu’s sudden action?"

In the Imperial Palace.

Long Da, who was cultivating with closed eyes, sensed the movement of the Communication Spirit Talisman and instantly guessed it was Chen Xuan.

Looking at the Spirit Talisman in his hand emitting a faint Spirit Light.

"As expected!"

Immediately infusing a trace of Spiritual Power, Chen Xuan’s voice sounded.

"This..."

Long Da’s brows slightly furrowed, then he got up and headed towards the Qin Emperor Sacred Land.

Although he knew of this matter, he wanted to inquire with Qin Ying, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare make decisions on his own.

A short while later, Long Da reached the Qin Emperor Sacred Land and simply reported the situation to her.

"Action should have been taken long ago."

Qin Ying’s phoenix eyes gleamed; she had long been discontent with these families, for they were parasites of Great Yu.

Relying on the blessings of their ancestors, they secretly hoarded unimaginable amounts of wealth since Great Yu’s founding.

Though it was the promise made by Emperor Qin to them.

However, over tens of thousands of years, Great Yu could no longer bear it.

Long ago, when she was very young, she accidentally overheard her father talking about this matter; yet due to the broad scope, even though her father intended to, he dared not act recklessly.

Now action was finally imminent.

"Tell him, if he possesses mines, particularly those involving Spirit Stones, sever ties, as for the others... enlighten him, this matter isn’t much of a secret upon a little investigation."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

With Qin Ying’s permission, Long Da immediately sent a message to Chen Xuan.

Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

"I see."

Chen Xuan appeared enlightened.

It seems that Great Yu’s situation had reached a perilous state; the national treasury was empty, no wonder Emperor Yu would take action.

"Slaughter the pigs for New Year!"

The thought flashed across Chen Xuan’s mind.

"Qing Lian..."

Then he immediately transmitted, "Dispose of all the mines we hold, and from now on, refrain from pursuing interests in this area."

Qing Lian, who was originally checking the accounts submitted below these few days, suddenly shook, her heart further startled.

Because the mines of the rMolan Mansion occupied the bulk.
