Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 838 457 Reactions from All Sides

"The Central Prefecture..."

Xu Hongyu's gaze turned distant.

Cold North is located in the far north of Da Xuan. Although it is not the most remote of the nine domains, it is slightly better than the Western Pass Domain. However, in terms of prosperity, it is far from comparable to Jingji Road, and Yu State is even less comparable to the Central Prefecture.

It is the seat of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court and the most flourishing center of Martial Arts. Any martial artist who reaches a certain level will almost inevitably desire to visit the Central Prefecture to witness its martial world with their own eyes.

However,

after a brief moment of longing, Xu Hongyu quickly shook her head slightly and said, "Going to the Central Prefecture at this time would only add to my husband's trouble."

She then looked at Chen Mu, with a slight hint of worry in her eyes, and said, "Husband, now that you have reached the Blood Exchange Realm, there are few in this world who can match you. But the Central Prefecture is ultimately the main stage of the Imperial Court. The Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and the Blood Hidden Pavilion have relocated to the Central Prefecture not long ago, but combined with the Court's foundation, they are likely to be extremely difficult to deal with. If you intend to take action against them, you must be careful not to fall into their trap."

Chen Mu had once fought seven Blood Exchange experts at the Marrow Cleansing Realm in the Outer Sea and emerged victorious. Xu Hongyu did not doubt Chen Mu's strength. If the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion were still in the Cold North, Chen Mu could probably eradicate the entire sect single-handedly.

But the Central Prefecture is different.

It is not only the most prosperous center of Martial Arts but also the seat of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court, with the thousand-year-old foundation of the Ji Family. Now, King Han, Ji Xuanfei, has ascended the throne. Pavilion Master Cheng Zu, once a commoner, has become a member of the Cabinet, greatly trusted by Ji Xuanfei for supporting his claim to the throne, and his status is almost comparable to that of the Grand Secretary.

Meanwhile, the Blood Hidden Pavilion has undergone a transformation, from a hidden Demon Sect to being officially incorporated by the Imperial Court, establishing a new bureau named the "East Superintendence". The Master of the Blood Hidden Pavilion has become the Chief Officer of the East Superintendence, almost on par with one of the three major bureaus of the Court, the Inspectorate, and even more powerful due to Ji Xuanfei's trust!

The Inspectorate must conduct joint trials and report to the Cabinet for deliberation before submitting to Emperor Xuan, whereas the East Superintendence, founded by the Blood Hidden Pavilion, can directly arrest any official without the need for multiple reviews!

Especially after the division of the Nine States.

The East Superintendence has become Ji Xuanfei's executioner, purging the court and the country, capturing and killing anyone related to the remnants of King Jin, King Chu, or suspected spies without question!

In just a few months, blood flowed throughout the Court, and the entire Court was terrified.

"Madam does not need to worry. They are all nothing but clowns, not worthy of concern."

Chen Mu smiled calmly.

Now his strength had almost surpassed the limits of this era's world. The only thing that could restrain him was this world itself. The rest, be it the Da Xuan Dynasty Court or the Ji Family, were just foundations accumulated over a thousand years. Unless Ji Yongzhao or Ji Hao were reborn, they could barely exchange a few moves with him.

Pavilion Masters like the Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion or the Blood Hidden Pavilion Master, if they hid, they might be safe. But if they dared to appear before him, there would be no escape, especially the Blood Hidden Pavilion Master, who had twice tried to kill him and escaped by a hair. The third time, there would be no escape.

"It is said that the Central Prefecture is the seat of the Court and a Martial Arts Sacred Land. In one state, there are ten major sects, none inferior to the Seven Profound Sect, with a flourishing martial world of its own."

Chen Yue, standing nearby, spoke with a hint of yearning in her eyes.

For the past three years, she had been cultivating in the Seven Profound Sect. Although she had now reached the Six Viscera Realm, she was eager to experience the outside world. But as Xu Hongyu said, descending the mountain now would inevitably add trouble for Chen Mu.

Xiao He softly interjected, "Although Master now stands unrivaled, the Central Prefecture is still their territory. If we accompany you, we may become a burden. Now that Master has returned, all eyes are likely on us. Descending the mountain now might attract unwanted attention, and Master is only one person, unable to be everywhere at once."

"You're right."

After hearing Xiao He's words, Chen Mu nodded slightly.

Though confident in protecting everyone around him, as Xiao He mentioned, he was alone and could not be everywhere at once. If any accidents occurred, it would be less safe. Moreover, he had yet to fully display his power to the world. Many schemers still existed. Once he made a few moves and settled old scores, the world would be in awe, and few would dare to provoke him.

"In that case, Madam and Yue'er should remain in the Seven Profound Sect a bit longer."

Chen Mu looked at Xu Hongyu and Chen Yue.

Xu Hongyu smiled gently and said, "We have already stayed on the mountain for three years; a little longer won't matter. Husband, handle your affairs without worrying about us. Just be extremely careful with everything you do."

"There's no rush."

Chen Mu reached out and gently touched the small head of Chen Yao, who was in Xu Hongyu's arms, and said calmly, "The news of my return should not have fully spread yet. Let it spread fully over the next few days. When all those people gather together, I will deal with them once and for all, saving me from multiple trips."

He was not worried about any traps set by the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion Master or Ji Xuanfei in the Central Prefecture. He was more concerned about them hiding and making it difficult to find them in the vast expanse of the Da Xuan Ninety-Nine States, especially if a Blood Exchange realm expert chose a secluded place to hide, making it quite challenging to locate them.
