Chapter 2158 - 2156: The Resolute Will of Princess Zi Xuan

Chapter 2158: Chapter 2156: The Resolute Will of Princess Zi Xuan

When Sang Qing, Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, appeared before Zi Xuan Princess, Zi Xuan Princess was actually very happy, genuinely delighted, because she couldn’t see the slightest sign of Sang Qing’s oil running dry and lamp going out!

However, Sang Qing handed over to Zi Xuan Princess the Sect Leader’s inheritance Jade Bracelet of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, as well as the supreme cultivation mental method of Flying Flower Zen Temple—the general outline of the Flying Flower Divine Skill. She told Zi Xuan Princess that it wouldn’t be long before she sat in meditation and passed away; everything Zi Xuan Princess was seeing now was just a façade, Sang Qing forcibly propping herself up by burning her own Life Force, wanting to hold on a little longer for the sake of her disciples!

Zi Xuan Princess was very sad, but she also knew that without a life‑extending Immortal Elixir, her master Sang Qing simply couldn’t go on living; she would ultimately have to reach that step where the oil runs dry and the lamp goes out. No matter how heartbroken she was, it would be of no use at all. She could only force back her tears, receive the Jade Bracelet and the ancient scroll of the Flying Flower Divine Skill’s general outline, and assume the position of the new Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple!

Only, there was still some confusion in Zi Xuan Princess’s heart. Since her master Sang Qing had just said that this kind of evil, degenerate power born within a Buddhist Sect inheritance was extremely formidable, almost impossible to eradicate, then what method would Sang Qing use to purge that sinister Buddhist Sect power within Ye Tianchen’s body?

Even though Zi Xuan Princess very much wanted to know the truth, she still obeyed her master Sang Qing’s words, taking the Jade Bracelet and ancient scroll as she walked out of the pavilion, because in her heart she was still worried about her fellow sisters; she didn’t want her sisters to suffer any more harm!

When Zi Xuan Princess, carrying the Jade Bracelet and ancient scroll, walked out of the pavilion and arrived at the martial arena, she saw that her fellow sisters of the Flying Flower Zen Temple were all sitting cross‑legged, healing their injuries, while that group of Martial Artists from other inheritances of the Northern State Territory who had invaded were all standing opposite them, each one eyeing them like tigers, yet none made another move. It seemed the news that Sang Qing was still alive had shocked them greatly; no one dared to act so recklessly and presumptuously anymore!

"Sisters, are you all alright?" Zi Xuan Princess walked over, and the first thing she did was to ask about her sisters’ injuries.

"We’re fine, Zi Xuan..." Jin Hua glanced at Zi Xuan Princess, but suddenly froze, the words at the tip of her tongue abruptly stopping!

All the sisters of the Flying Flower Zen Temple were looking at Zi Xuan Princess, and their gazes all fell on the Jade Bracelet at Zi Xuan Princess’s right wrist. When they saw the Jade Bracelet, they all stood up, then all dropped to their knees, calling out in unison, "We pay our respects to the Sect Leader!"

"This... Sisters, everyone, please, don’t do this, I’m still Zi Xuan, no need for such formalities!" Zi Xuan Princess was caught completely off guard by this sudden scene, at a loss for what to do. She had never even thought about becoming Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple.

"Zi Xuan, Master has passed the Sect Leader’s Jade Bracelet to you. You are our new Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple!" Jin Hua said solemnly.

"But... Everyone rest assured, Master is only in seclusion, she’s only letting me temporarily stand in for the Sect Leader’s position. Our Master is still alive, she will not die, and she absolutely will not let some people’s schemes succeed!" Zi Xuan Princess said, looking over at the other invading Martial Artists.

"Zi Xuan, no matter what, you’ve put on this Jade Bracelet, so you are already the new Sect Leader of our Flying Flower Zen Temple!"

"Right, from now on your word is order; we will obey!"

"Now we all listen to you—lead us to drive away this group of despicable, shameless scum!"

Zi Xuan Princess hadn’t expected her sisters to support her so much, to trust her to this degree. This was exactly as her master Sang Qing had foreseen: only if Zi Xuan became the new Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple could she win the hearts of the people, could she prevent major internal strife within the Flying Flower Zen Temple, and keep these disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple from slaughtering one another!

"Alright, sisters, no matter what, no matter how many inheritances or how many powerful Martial Artists come from the Northern State Territory, we stand or fall together with the Flying Flower Zen Temple. If we have to kill, then we kill to our heart’s content!" Zi Xuan Princess said, her gaze incomparably resolute as she stared at the invading Martial Artists.

"Alright!"

"We live and die with the Flying Flower Zen Temple!"

"Whoever wants to Destroying Feihua Zen Temple’s inheritance, we’ll fight them to the bitter end!"

As all the disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple had their emotions stirred and their blood heated, that kind of momentum truly inspired fear and awe. Especially for this group of Martial Artists from other inheritances of the Northern State Territory who had invaded, they all felt a sense of unease. Even if the Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, Sang Qing, sat in meditation and passed away, if they wanted to gain something from the Flying Flower Zen Temple, it would definitely not be easy. And for them, this was naturally not good news!

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful force struck, directly crashing toward the Flying Flower Zen Temple. Zi Xuan Princess couldn’t help but knit her brows. She saw a person coming from not far away. This person did not arrive using Qi Manipulation Flight, but was riding a Demon Beast, directly flying over to hover above the inheritance grounds of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, his voice echoing between heaven and earth as he said:

"Looks like if I don’t come, there really will be no way to gain anything from the Flying Flower Zen Temple!"

"Zhao Tianqi, you really think too highly of yourself. Do you really take me, Yu Jianzi, for someone who eats grass?"

"Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, since you’re both here, I, Dao Yu, have no reason to stay hidden, do I?"

In an instant, above the inheritance mountain range of Flying Flower Zen Temple, three figures appeared. Each of these three figures was incomparably powerful, the aura they naturally released making everyone below tremble in shock, and they couldn’t help but start whispering among themselves!

"Zhao Tianqi, Yu Jianzi, Dao Yu, those three bastards really came..."

"These three are among the strongest of the younger generation in the Northern State Territory. Since they’ve come here, naturally they’re going to make a move against Flying Flower Zen Temple!"

"No one even knows how strong these three are. Rumor has it they can even fight the old generation’s experts head-on. Flying Flower Zen Temple is finished!"

"If Bai Wuji of the Demon Blood Sect comes as well, then the four strongest of the younger generation in the Northern State Territory will have gathered. I really don’t know among these four young Heaven’s Chosen, who is the truly strongest!"

"No matter what, just the appearance of these three already foretells the doom of Flying Flower Zen Temple. Even if Sang Qing hasn’t entered seated meditation to die yet, it will still be hard to stop the trend of Flying Flower Zen Temple being wiped out!"

The discussions were endless. Princess Zi Xuan naturally heard them too. As for these few strongest young Martial Artists in the Northern State Territory, Princess Zi Xuan was of course no stranger to them. Her heart clenched tight. To be honest, she was not the match of these three guys. Even in a one-on-one fight, she might not be able to defeat any single one of them. But she felt no fear and did not retreat. At worst, she would just fight; at worst, she would die in battle. She had the courage and guts to fight for her inheritance and for her home. Dying in battle was something she would never shy away from. It was just that Princess Zi Xuan worried about her fellow sisters, worried about her master. She didn’t want anything to happen to them; she was going to do her utmost to protect them!

"Hmph, Yu Jianzi, Dao Yu, I’ve long known the two of you would come. We three inheritances letting other Disciples take the vanguard was just to test the true strength of Flying Flower Zen Temple. But in my eyes, Zhao Tianqi’s eyes, there is no need for that. Even if Sang Qing were still alive, I’d still dare to come demand that Flying Flower Zen Temple hand over the Immortal Origin Liquid!" Zhao Tianqi, riding a flying Demon Beast, gave a cold snort and looked at the other two with disdain as he spoke.

"The Immortal Origin Liquid in Flying Flower Zen Temple’s hands is something I’m determined to obtain. As for that Flying Flower Divine Skill, well, I can take a look. Maybe I’ll be able to comprehend a thing or two from it!" Dao Yu said blandly.

"Same," Yu Jianzi only uttered two indifferent words.

Zhao Tianqi glanced at Yu Jianzi, then at Dao Yu, and sneered as he said, "So that means there must be a battle between the three of us today. I think it’s about time we decided who is truly the strongest among the younger generation in the Northern State Territory. Don’t you agree?"

"Makes sense. But I think before that, we should first destroy Flying Flower Zen Temple," Yu Jianzi nodded with a smile and said.

"Sang Qing has not yet entered seated death. We’ll still have to put in some effort," Dao Yu, always a man of few words, said calmly.

Whoosh!

Just as Zhao Tianqi, Yu Jianzi, and Dao Yu were preparing to strike at Flying Flower Zen Temple, they moved with extreme ferocity and simplicity. Their plan was to join hands and destroy the entire mountain range where Flying Flower Zen Temple was located. That was their joint strike. To the three of them, each of the others was a mortal enemy. Sooner or later, there would be a life-and-death battle between them. Each wanted to become number one among the younger generation; none was willing to see the others grow stronger than himself. The reason they were cooperating now was also very simple. Their coming here today, along with the attention of all the inheritances across the Northern State Territory, was focused on one thing: whether Flying Flower Zen Temple’s Sang Qing had already entered seated death, and the location of the Immortal Origin Liquid controlled by Flying Flower Zen Temple. That Immortal Origin Liquid had been coveted by everyone for a long time. Would Flying Flower Zen Temple be destroyed today? Which inheritance would discover the location of the Immortal Origin Liquid?

However, a figure flew up into the sky, directly positioning itself in front of Zhao Tianqi, Yu Jianzi, and Dao Yu. This caused everyone to start in shock. Not only were the three Zhao Tianqi stunned, but everyone present was incomparably astonished!

"Zi Xuan..." Jin Hua looked up at the scene in the sky, tears welling in her eyes.

"It’s Zi Xuan..."

"She’s going to face these three freakish prodigies alone?"

"This... Zi Xuan, she... her feelings are something none of us can begin to imagine. She wants to protect Flying Flower Zen Temple more than any one of us..."

With a single flash of her figure, at a moment when most people hadn’t even reacted yet, Princess Zi Xuan soared into the sky, standing in front of Zhao Tianqi, Yu Jianzi, and Dao Yu. Her expression was resolute, her gaze icy cold as she looked at the three, speaking with extreme calm:

"If you want to destroy Flying Flower Zen Temple, you must first pass through me. You must first kill me..." (To be continued.
