”It’s all right now, isn’t it? I’m fine,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile after a moment of surprise.

Tianshuang glanced at Ye Tianchen and quietly left. The two young disciples started healing their injuries. They were very young, and their Martial Arts True Power was limited, so Ye Tianchen infused a stream of his own refined Martial Arts True Power to help them heal.

When he learned that Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and the two young disciples risked their lives to use the Power of Belief to alter his fate so he could avoid disaster, Ye Tianchen was deeply moved. In this bloodthirsty and cruel Martial Arts World, having such friends, friends who are like family, is incredibly rare and something to be cherished.

”Tianchen, what are you planning to do next?” Zhang Ruotong asked with concern.

”Ruotong, you should stay at the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect and focus on cultivating the Divination Skill. Don’t worry about me. If I can gather the three pieces of the Transmission Array and leave Earth, I will definitely take you with me!” Ye Tianchen said seriously, looking at Zhang Ruotong.

”I believe in you, Tianchen. I don’t want to leave you!” Zhang Ruotong said emotionally.

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly and patted Zhang Ruotong on the shoulder. Sometimes he was really touched, and sometimes helpless. He understood these women’s feelings for him—Qi Ruxue, Dongfang Meng, Ling Yuxun, Li Xiaoqing, Liu Rumei, Su Feifei, Xiao Ya, Zhang Ruotong. But Alice’s death had shaken him greatly, especially after entering the Martial Arts Great World where he felt a sense of crisis. Martial Arts has no end, only stronger opponents, and his current strength was indeed not enough to stand out among the crowd. To protect these women who deeply loved him would be very difficult. In Ye Tianchen’s own words, he felt unworthy to take care of these women. Sometimes, letting them distance themselves from him might be better for them.

”Alright, go heal your injuries. I will find you when I leave!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Zhang Ruotong nodded and went to a corner to heal her injuries. Ye Tianchen took a look at Zhang Ruotong before heading in another direction.

At the backdoor of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, which led to another part of the deep canyon, there was a small lake. When Ye Tianchen walked over, he found Tianshuang sitting by the lake, occasionally throwing small stones into it, seeming somewhat upset.

”What’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?” Ye Tianchen sat down beside Tianshuang and asked with a smile.

”Nothing. Why are you here?” Tianshuang replied without even looking at Ye Tianchen.

”I’m here to thank you. Without you, I might be dead!” Ye Tianchen said sincerely.

”No need to thank me. You should thank Ruotong. She was willing to risk her life to save you,” Tianshuang said in a flat tone.

Ye Tianchen looked at Tianshuang. His recent interactions with her made him realize that Tianshuang was actually a very nice and kind girl, just sometimes a bit too cold. But she had a good heart, though somewhat inexpressive. Maybe it was the pressure of becoming the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect after the death of Divine Calculation, not knowing how to develop the sect further.

”Divine Calculation was kind to me, and you have feelings for me. As long as I, Ye Tianchen, am alive, I will guard the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, watching you all make it a formidable force in the Martial Arts World,” Ye Tianchen declared solemnly.

”Who has feelings for you? Don’t flatter yourself!” Tianshuang rolled her eyes at Ye Tianchen and replied adorably.

Ye Tianchen chuckled. Despite his sometimes low emotional intelligence and lack of romantic insight, he wasn’t stupid. He could see some things. If Tianshuang didn’t care about him at all, how could she risk her life using the Power of Belief to change his fate? But only Tianshuang knew how deep this affection ran.

”Hehe, I didn’t mean anything else. I’m still very pure!” Ye Tianchen teased with a playful smile, seeing Tianshuang seemed unhappy.

”Pure? Dongfang Meng says you’re a big villain. Do you dare to bring out Qing Chengyue’s bellyband?” Tianshuang replied with feigned annoyance.

”Ah...” Ye Tianchen was shocked, not expecting Tianshuang to be so straightforward. He was left speechless. How did so many people know about Qing Chengyue’s bellyband? He was doomed. Qing Chengyue would never forgive him in this lifetime. Thinking about it made Ye Tianchen deeply troubled.

At the same time, somewhere else, Hu Gao groggily woke up, feeling a headache. Looking around and not seeing his boss Ye Tianchen, he angrily shouted to the sky, ”Boss, how could you leave me behind? We are brothers, living and dying together, tough times and smooth sailing alike... Even if you’re leaving, at least leave Qing Chengyue’s bellyband with me. At least I’d have something to reminisce about and show off a little... But you left nothing, sigh!”

”About this, it was just a moment of impulse at the time, and I didn’t mean anything else!” Ye Tianchen said with an awkward smile.

Tianshuang looked at Ye Tianchen and also couldn’t help but smile, saying, ”If you do this, I’m afraid Qing Chengyue will really want you to marry her in the future, otherwise, she’ll kill you!”

”Marry her? That can’t be right. She’s so formidable, I can’t afford to marry her, nor do I dare.” Ye Tianchen hurriedly said.

”You will understand eventually; Qing Chengyue will come looking for you sooner or later...” Tianshuang seemed to have more to say.

Just like that, Ye Tianchen accompanied Tianshuang by the lakeside, and when the sky darkened, they returned to the clearing where the Eight Diagrams were. Tonight, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t leave; he had agreed with Tianshuang that when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Tianshuang would perform a secret technique to divine the matters of the Blood Killing Organization and the Nine Netherworld. Ye Tianchen’s task was to protect Tianshuang, preventing the strong individuals of these two evil organizations from sensing her and attacking.

The bright moon hung high, Tianshuang sat cross-legged at the center of the Eight Diagrams. She was now the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, and the most skilled in divination within the sect; Zhang Ruotong and two child disciples waited by her side, ready to support Tianshuang at a critical moment, while Ye Tianchen stood nearby, ready to act and defend against any deadly attacks.

”Let’s start with the Blood Killing Organization, you all be careful to avoid being hurt by the heavenly tribulation.” Tianshuang said softly, her hands already beginning to change the seal forms.

Buzz!

Tianshuang shuddered all over, and two ancient oracle bones appeared in her hand, objects ancient beyond tracing back, passed to her by Divine Calculation. Tianshuang threw the two oracle bones, infused them with divine power, and followed with her own divine sense.

Rumble!

A massive lightning bolt struck down, aiming straight for Tianshuang’s head. She continued sitting cross-legged, swiftly changing the seal forms in her hands. Often in divination, this is the fleeting opportunity. Missing it would render all efforts in vain, revealing nothing at all.

Bang!

Golden radiance surged from Ye Tianchen’s fist as he silently punched out, shattering the massive lightning. In that instant, three more bolts descended from the sky, all striking toward Ye Tianchen, evidently a result of his defiance against heavenly punishment, inciting Heaven’s discontent.

”Heaven and Earth are ruthless, giving no path of survival to millions of martial artists; why should I respect you?”

Ye Tianchen spoke in a deep voice, striking out three more times, forcibly shattering the heavenly tribulations targeting him. This shocked the two child disciples, who were Divine Calculation’s favored students and had received much guidance from him. In their hearts, surprise welled up; martial artists facing heavenly punishment have always resisted in silence, believing that surviving the tribulations meant overcoming them. Yet, it was their first time witnessing someone like Ye Tianchen, who not only didn’t silently endure the punishment but also forcefully opposed it and shattered it—a courage and boldness that was shocking.

Swoosh!

Right after Ye Tianchen deflected several thunders of heavenly punishment, a sword radiance came slashing from the sky, piercing the void, and breaking through the Heavenly Vault, overwhelmingly powerful, striking toward Tianshuang. Ye Tianchen’s mind moved, and he deployed the Divine Movement Skill, standing in front of Tianshuang. His fists emitted golden light, continuously waving, expelling golden fist energy that gradually formed into a golden wall in front of Ye Tianchen. This was Ye Tianchen’s latest insight, using Martial Arts True Power to create the strongest defense, akin to his Golden Divine Shield, and even more powerful.

Bang!

The sword radiance collided with the golden wall, hesitating at first but still striving to pierce through the wall, unwilling to be blocked like this. Ye Tianchen, however, was not in a hurry; as long as the sword radiance was obstructed by him, in just a moment, he would have the opportunity to perform the next Divine Art, resolving it one by one without affecting Tianshuang’s divination.

”Tao!”

With a low shout, the golden wall erected by Ye Tianchen’s fist shattered, and the formidable sword radiance also dissipated into the air. Only a surprised voice was heard, as if someone hadn’t anticipated such a powerful individual guarding the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect.

Tianshuang opened her eyes, complexion pale, panting as she looked at Ye Tianchen and said, ”Earlier, an old assassin from the Blood Killing Organization made a move, which you blocked. However, based on his attack, I figured out his location; he is in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, in a ruined little village, which is actually the stronghold of the Blood Killing Organization!” (To be continued.
