Chapter 2229: Chapter 2227: [Leaving Danger to Oneself!]

Temporarily disband the Flying Flower Zen Temple!

It is a measure of last resort. In fact, it was something Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan had discussed on their return journey to the temple. If they wanted to ensure the inheritance of the temple was not wiped out, if they wanted to protect the disciples of the temple to the greatest extent possible, there was only one option, and that was to temporarily disband the temple, allowing the disciples to scatter, otherwise the inheritance might be exterminated completely, never to appear again!

Imagine, Flying Flower Zen Temple was considered a powerful inheritance in the Northern State Territory, always possessing the strong Flying Flower Divine Skill, which many longed to see. More importantly, it held the Immortal Origin Liquid, which countless people dreamt of obtaining. Not only inheritances from the Northern State Territory coveted it, but even those from the East State and Southern State had long been eyeing it!

Now Sang Qing has passed away, his Transformation power spread throughout the Northern State, even the Barbaric Forbidden Land could sense it. This was the kind of energy felt when a strong person departed, yet this energy brought a calamity upon Flying Flower Zen Temple. With Sang Qing gone, Princess Zi Xuan took over the temple, becoming the new Sect Leader. But though she was a genius among young martial artists, she hadn’t reached the level of a demon. Even the Northern State Territory’s strongest young martial artists—Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Dao Yu, Bai Wuji—were defeated by Ye Tianchen. Aside from him, Zi Xuan might not be the strongest among the younger generation. To eradicate the temple’s inheritance, some older martial artists might act shamelessly and dishonorably!

This is a brutal, savage world, a world beyond reason. Killing needs no justification. Besides, with the Immortal Origin Liquid existing in Flying Flower Zen Temple, it gives those coveting inheritances ample reason!

Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan both knowingly sat at the highest peak of the temple’s inheritance land. At this location, a tall mountain peak stood, allowing one to overlook the entire heritage site, a place of extreme beauty, but seemingly soon to turn desolate and even bloody!

"If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late. I can already feel the killing intent surrounding us!" Princess Zi Xuan looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

"Since you decided not to leave, I’ll stay with you. Can’t abandon friendship, can I?" Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.

"I only hope my fellow sisters from the temple can leave alive, not be pursued, and hide well. Even if the temple’s inheritance can’t be rebuilt, I don’t want them dead!" Princess Zi Xuan said worriedly.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Princess Zi Xuan, wanting to comfort her, but he also knew that at this point, words were futile. Princess Zi Xuan wasn’t foolish; she understood the situation clearly. The current circumstances were unfavorable for Flying Flower Zen Temple. Initially, they believed other inheritances in the Northern State Territory might take some time to act after Sang Qing’s passing, but unexpectedly, they came quickly. This time wasn’t like before, when only young martial artists tested the temple. Now, with Sang Qing confirmed gone, those coming to besiege the temple likely included shameless older figures, elders, Supreme Elder level experts, maybe even sect leaders!

In such a scenario, it’s unimaginable for the Flying Flower Zen Temple to survive. It’s a godsend if all female disciples can escape alive!

"Since we decided not to leave, we’ll concentrate here, maintain our strength, and wait for these shameless martial artists to arrive!" Ye Tianchen replied to Princess Zi Xuan.

Princess Zi Xuan glanced at Ye Tianchen, noticing he’d seen through her, then honestly said: "Actually, I don’t want to die here either. I promised my master to rebuild the temple’s inheritance. But at this moment, I have no choice. I must remain, distract the besieging martial artists, and buy time for my fellow sisters to escape!"

"I knew that’s what you were thinking, so I’ll stand by you. But promise me, if there’s a chance to escape, you must go. As you said, ’Keep the green hills, and never worry about firewood.’" Ye Tianchen earnestly said to Princess Zi Xuan.

"Okay!" Princess Zi Xuan nodded seriously.

Ye Tianchen admired Princess Zi Xuan’s decision not to flee, not just because she cherished the temple’s heritage site, but because she wanted to buy time for her fellow sisters to escape.

Reflecting, Princess Zi Xuan’s decision was correct. The strongest inheritances and martial arts experts besieging the temple all had the same goal: the master guide of the Flying Flower Divine Skill and the location of the Immortal Origin Liquid. Everyone knew these two things were handed down only to the Sect Leader. As the new Sect Leader, Princess Zi Xuan naturally held them. As long as she stayed in the inheritance land, those besieging wouldn’t focus on other disciples but rush to her, not spending time dealing with others.

Must say, Princess Zi Xuan was smart. Her decision was right. By remaining in the temple’s inheritance land, martial artists seeking the Flying Flower Divine Skill and Immortal Origin Liquid wouldn’t target other sisters. This method was valiant and selfless. But one could imagine how dangerous it made Princess Zi Xuan, surrounded by martial arts experts. Could she escape? Probably not, yet she had Ye Tianchen, a miraculous presence, perhaps offering a glimmer of hope, though their chances were slim!

Ye Tianchen!

Princess Zi Xuan!

Both sat cross-legged at the highest peak. Despite the increasing killing intent enveloping the temple’s inheritance land, they waited motionlessly for the enemies to arrive!

Swish!

A streak of sword light charged at Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan. Ye Tianchen intended to act but was preempted by Princess Zi Xuan, who shattered the sword light with a palm, coldly gazing at the dark sky nearby and said: "Cowards hiding in the shadows, I am Zi Xuan. Only I know the master guide of the Flying Flower Divine Skill and the Immortal Origin Liquid. Show yourselves if you dare!"

When Princess Zi Xuan spoke, she looked at the distant dark sky. She could use Divine Thought to sense that the person who produced the sword light was hiding in that darkness. Despite the surrounding killing intent, this was the first martial artist to act. Princess Zi Xuan resolved to kill as a warning, proving that even if Master Sang Qing had passed, with her presence, the temple wouldn’t be easily bullied!

Bang!

A Flying Flower Divine Palm struck the dark sky, hitting a martial artist. The sword-wielding martial artist screamed, plummeting from the clouds, only to be shattered into Blood Mist by another palm from Princess Zi Xuan, ending in complete destruction!

Momentarily, the surrounding killing intent agitated, as if Princess Zi Xuan’s iron hand had taken effect. Ye Tianchen communicated through Divine Thought, "Very precise, we must intimidate these shameless people, otherwise we’re in danger!"

"Don’t act first; as the Sect Leader, it’s my duty!" Princess Zi Xuan said through Divine Thought to Ye Tianchen.

"Alright, I’ll support you. Be cautious. I sense strong presences; the battle is just beginning..." Ye Tianchen nodded, using Divine Thought to communicate.

Indeed, it’s unknown how many inheritances and martial artists came from Northern State Territory, hidden in darkness. Though some might be surprised, they wouldn’t retreat merely because Princess Zi Xuan killed one. Instead, stronger martial artists were bound to appear...
