In the world of martial arts, it is cruel and bloody. A strong person who reaches the Martial Arts Peak does so by stepping over countless corpses of strong enemies. These countless strong enemies all become stepping stones, become paving stones, completely eradicated, souls scattered, because an era can only have one truly invincible powerhouse in the world!

Between inheritances, competition is constant, always striving to strengthen the power of one’s own inheritance, making efforts for a long-lasting lineage!

Among martial artists, slaughter is something that happens anytime and anywhere, without cause, without reason, because by killing a martial artist, you might obtain valuable cultivation resources from them, or at the very least have one less competitor on the path forward!

Therefore, Sang Qing of the Flying Flower Zen Temple actually chooses to accept disciples from other inheritances. This is simply unbelievable; it’s an obvious truth. All those who come to the Flying Flower Zen Temple to learn martial arts have their own foundations. They come from other inheritances, and it’s not an exaggeration to say they come to steal skills from the Flying Flower Zen Temple. This is something anyone with eyes can see!

Taking in disciples from other inheritances and teaching them the Martial Arts Absolute Skill of the Flying Flower Zen Temple—isn’t that allowing the essence of the Flying Flower Zen Temple to be completely learned? Isn’t this exposing the Martial Arts Absolute Skill of the Flying Flower Zen Temple? Isn’t this enhancing the strength of competitors? Who would do such a foolish thing?

But what no one could have imagined was that Sang Qing actually accepted these disciples who came from other inheritances. At that moment, the entire Northern State Territory was in an uproar, and the entire Barbaric Forbidden Land was shaken, because in anyone’s view, such a move by Sang Qing was unheard of in the martial arts world’s inheritance, a near-unprecedented case!

Some say Sang Qing is senile, some say Sang Qing is too foolish, some say Sang Qing is too naive, and others say Sang Qing hasn’t grasped the cruel and bloody nature of the martial arts world. Even if she is kind-hearted and compassionate, other martial artists won’t think this way, other inheritances won’t think this way. When it’s possible to kill Sang Qing, when it’s possible to destroy the Flying Flower Zen Temple, these martial artists, these inheritances, will absolutely show no mercy; Sang Qing is foolish!

Sure enough, Sang Qing selected over fifty martial artists from this group, taking them in as female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, wholeheartedly teaching them some Martial Arts Absolute Skills, imparting the powerful Divine Skills of the Flying Flower Zen Temple without reservation. During this period, disciples constantly left, returning to their original inheritances, never to have any contact with the Flying Flower Zen Temple again. Everyone secretly laughed at Sang Qing’s foolishness, that her choice was wrong, her decision was wrong, that these disciples ultimately betrayed her, betrayed the Flying Flower Zen Temple, and one day would certainly take ruthless action against the Flying Flower Zen Temple!

"Hmph, no matter how many of you come here, it’s in vain. We, the Five Elders of Northern State, can wipe you all out!" One of the Northern State elders snorted disdainfully and said.

"That’s right, your Cultivation Realm and strength aren’t as profound or strong as the five of us. Stepping forward to stick your necks out is simply foolish!" The second elder of Northern State also loudly said.

Boom!

Several female cultivators with Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm immediately struck together, their powerful slaughter forces merging into one, attacking the first and second elders of Northern State. Although the Cultivation Realms of these female cultivators were weaker than those of the first and second Northern State elders, when their Powers of Slaughter merged, it still startled these arrogant old fellows, forcing them to hastily dodge!

"The heritage of the Flying Flower Zen Temple is not something you can desecrate!"

"Five Elders of Northern State, if you want to destroy the Flying Flower Zen Temple, first ask if we agree or not!"

"Most of the inheritances from the Northern State Territory have sent people, all wanting to destroy the Flying Flower Zen Temple, but we come from different inheritances; we come from territories of other states. We are here to defend the Flying Flower Zen Temple!"

"Master Sang Qing passed away; we didn’t get to see Master one last time. So, protecting the Flying Flower Zen Temple has become the only way we can repay Master’s kindness for teaching us. Anyone who wants to destroy the Flying Flower Zen Temple must step over my corpse first!"

"Count me in!"

"Me too!"

"And me!"

Dozens of female cultivators, most with Early-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, with only a few having Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm strength, faced the Five Elders of Northern State without a hint of fear or retreat, because today they came to defend the Flying Flower Zen Temple with their lives!

When these dozens of female cultivators appeared, all with unstoppable momentum, unwilling to retreat even half a step, the Five Elders of Northern State were astonished. They never expected that at this time, there would be people standing out to protect the Flying Flower Zen Temple, this is to make enemies of most inheritances in the Northern State Territory; even more unexpected was that Sang Qing’s decision back then, to accept these female disciples from other inheritances and carefully teach them martial arts, impart the Martial Arts Divine Powers of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, was correct. Back then, these female disciples indeed left, some never contacting the Flying Flower Zen Temple again after leaving. But who would have thought that when the Flying Flower Zen Temple was in trouble, when it faced annihilation, these female disciples who once learned from the Flying Flower Zen Temple, from other inheritances, would come to aid without hesitation, unafraid of death?

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, three female cultivators at the Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm appeared in front of Princess Zi Xuan. They attacked the Three Elders of Northern State together, immediately sending them flying backward. The Three Elders of Northern State had blood at the corners of their mouths. Although they were extremely unwilling and furious because they were just about to kill Princess Zi Xuan and now were interrupted, they didn’t dare to risk their lives and quickly flew aside!

"Senior Sister Qin Mu, Senior Sister Mo Qin, Senior Sister Peng Yan!" Princess Zi Xuan, seeing the three female cultivators, exclaimed with joy.

"You know us?" Senior Sister Qin Mu asked with some curiosity, as it seemed there was no Princess Zi Xuan when they were learning at Flying Flower Zen Temple in the past!

"Yes, actually... after you left, Master often looked at your portraits. She said you were all her outstanding disciples!" Princess Zi Xuan said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You are Zi Xuan?" Senior Sister Mo Qin asked.

"Yes!" Princess Zi Xuan nodded in response.

Qin Mu, Mo Qin, and Peng Yan, these three female cultivators, were also veteran martial artists with Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, enough to battle the Three Elders of Northern State. They were considered the most talented and powerful among the external disciples taught by Sang Qing. Upon seeing Princess Zi Xuan, the three exchanged glances, then bowed and saluted her, saying:

"Qin Mu, Mo Qin, Peng Yan, greet the Sect Leader!"

"This... Senior Sisters, what are you doing? I... I’m still your junior sister!" Princess Zi Xuan said, somewhat caught off guard.

"Zi Xuan, since you wear the jade bracelet, the token of the Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple, you are the Sect Leader, and we must obey your orders!"

"Indeed, seeing the jade bracelet is like seeing Master, and you may issue commands!"

"Please instruct us, Sect Leader. We are willing to give our lives to slaughter these invaders!"

Princess Zi Xuan, deeply touched by the appearance of her senior sisters, held the Cheng Ying Sword tightly, looked to the sky, and said: "Master, do you see? They have returned, our senior sisters have returned, your outstanding disciples have returned. We will defend the legacy of Flying Flower Zen Temple to the death, so that your spirit may rest peacefully in the heavens!"

For a moment, the entire battle situation seemed reversed. Once about to be destroyed, with members scattering in all directions and on the brink of extermination, the Flying Flower Zen Temple now regained strength and resistance because of the return of its former disciples!

These female cultivators, who rushed to support the Flying Flower Zen Temple, were all once disciples under Sang Qing. After completing their studies, they returned to their own legacies, often losing touch with Flying Flower Zen Temple, perhaps completely. However, the benevolent heart with which Master Sang Qing imparted her absolute skills, opening her heart and imparting wisdom, consistently touched them. Despite the competition between legacies often preventing them from visiting Master for a nostalgic reunion, the feeling never faded!

But today, facing calamity, and with Master Sang Qing’s passing, the majority of the Northern State Territory rose to attack, determined to leave not a remnant of Flying Flower Zen Temple. Facing the looming existential crisis, these former female disciples could no longer endure watching the place where they once honed their skills be destroyed. They wouldn’t let Master Sang Qing face the risk of Flying Flower Zen Temple’s annihilation after her passing. They left their respective heritages, came running from various places in the Barbaric Forbidden Land, spreading the word and notifying the same sisters who had once honed their skills at Flying Flower Zen Temple. Their only goal was to protect the place where they had once trained!

This is affection, this is righteous...

"Kill! Whoever dares to destroy my Flying Flower Zen Temple, I will destroy them first!"

"Exactly, Flying Flower Zen Temple cannot be bullied, Flying Flower Zen Temple cannot be humiliated!"

"Just because Master has passed doesn’t mean Flying Flower Zen Temple will be destroyed, because we are still here!"

"We will guard the legacy of Flying Flower Zen Temple to the death, not allowing these traitors to prevail!"
