Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2228: Chapter 2226: Let’s Leave Together!

The encounter between Princess Zi Xuan and Ye Tianchen all began with the matter of the Qiong Qi Descendants!

At first, Ye Tianchen shamelessly followed Princess Zi Xuan, wanting to follow her to the Northern State Territory to witness the legendary Immortal Origin Liquid. Later, the two of them transmitted to the wrong place, arriving at the Southern State, then the West State. They went through hardships and dangers, experiencing life and death together. Only then did Princess Zi Xuan gradually change her impression of Ye Tianchen. Although she found him to have a fickle, nonchalant personality, his indomitable Taoist Heart and never-yielding Battle Intent earned her admiration. Unknowingly, and even without Princess Zi Xuan herself realizing it, she developed different feelings for Ye Tianchen—those feelings were not of friendship or camaraderie, but of love!

However, Princess Zi Xuan knew that Master Sang Qing intended to pass the Sect Leader position to her. In fact, inside Princess Zi Xuan’s heart, she had never thought of assuming the position of Sect Leader, nor did she want to compete with her other sisters in the tradition. But seeing Master Sang Qing’s longing and unwilling gaze, Princess Zi Xuan understood that this was Master Sang Qing’s decision at the time of her passing. How could she refuse?

The Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple must spend their life committed to expanding the temple’s legacy and cannot marry; this is a rule established by the Ancestor Empress. For generations, the Sect Leaders of the Flying Flower Zen Temple have adhered to this and have not married!

Senior Sister Jin Hua reminded Princess Zi Xuan of this. She had already taken on the responsibility of Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, and if she had feelings for Ye Tianchen, they could not be together. She needed to sever these feelings on her own!

”That’s good, I also have to leave now!” Senior Sister Jin Hua said with a smile to Princess Zi Xuan.

”Senior Sister, where are you planning to go?” Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

”I don’t know. Many of us female disciples at the Flying Flower Zen Temple are orphans taken in by the kind-hearted Master Sang Qing. Now, where could we go? I suppose we’ll just wander around and see the Earth Cultivation World; it’s quite vast,” Senior Sister Jin Hua said, shaking her head.

”Emm... Senior Sister, wait a moment, I want to give you something...” Princess Zi Xuan hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

”What is it?” Senior Sister Jin Hua asked, somewhat puzzled.

Without speaking, Princess Zi Xuan waved her right hand, and a gold leaf-like object appeared in front of Senior Sister Jin Hua. When she saw this gold leaf, she couldn’t help but be shocked, expressing disbelief: ”This... This is our Flying Flower Zen Temple’s...” ℯ

”That’s right, it’s the general outline of the Flying Flower Divine Skill!” Princess Zi Xuan said with a smile.

”Zi Xuan...” Senior Sister Jin Hua said, somewhat in a daze.

”Before Master passed away, she entrusted it to me. I’ve already integrated it into my mind, and now I pass it on to you, Senior Sister!” Princess Zi Xuan said.

”This... No, I can’t. The general outline of the Flying Flower Divine Skill can only be cultivated by the Sect Leader; no other disciple can touch it. I can’t...” Senior Sister Jin Hua immediately refused.

”Senior Sister, our Flying Flower Zen Temple has come to this point. Some outdated traditions need to change. Although our sisters have scattered, other rival factions will definitely not let it rest. They will surely pursue us relentlessly because what they want is the general outline of the Flying Flower Divine Skill and the location of our hidden Immortal Origin Liquid. It’s hard to say who will escape this disaster. The more people who know the general outline of the Flying Flower Divine Skill, the more hope we have for the Flying Flower Zen Temple. If I die, Senior Sister, you must remember to rebuild the Flying Flower Zen Temple’s legacy. You are the new Sect Leader!” Princess Zi Xuan said calmly.

”No, you must live, Zi Xuan. You are our hope for the Flying Flower Zen Temple!” Senior Sister Jin Hua shook her head immediately.

”Yes, I will try my best, not give up. Sister, you must also work hard. I look forward to the day we meet again and rebuild the Flying Flower Zen Temple together!” Princess Zi Xuan said with a smile.

Senior Sister Jin Hua glanced at Princess Zi Xuan and accepted the gold leaf, which contained the general outline of the strongest spell of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, the Flying Flower Divine Skill. Senior Sister Jin Hua understood that Princess Zi Xuan’s reasoning was sound and very thorough. It’s no wonder Master Sang Qing insisted on making Zi Xuan the new Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple and did not choose other senior sisters. It seems Master Sang Qing’s judgment was indeed very accurate!

”Zi Xuan, you should leave soon too!” Senior Sister Jin Hua said, looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

”I will, I’ll leave right away. Sister, you go first!” Princess Zi Xuan nodded with a smile.

Swoosh!

Looking at the departing figure of Senior Sister Jin Hua, Princess Zi Xuan had a trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth. However, within that smile was a hint of bitterness. She raised her head to glance at the sky above, then looked down below as more and more fellow sisters were flying away using Qi Manipulation Flight. Unable to help herself, she sighed and spoke to herself: ”The inheritance of Flying Flower Zen Temple, established by the Empress half-step-founder during the Ancient Early Stage, has always been strong. Later on, the Earth Cultivation World encountered a mishap, the Ancient Transmission Array was shattered, cutting us off from the world. On Earth, the Mortal World evolved, but Flying Flower Zen Temple has always been a powerful inheritance in this Barbaric Forbidden Land, mastering the general outline of the Flying Flower Divine Skill, possessing the Immortal Origin Liquid that many dream of. It flourished for a time, but to think that in my generation, it has come to the point of dispersing. It’s because I am not strong enough; if I were strong enough...”

”It’s not your fault!” Ye Tianchen’s voice rang beside Princess Zi Xuan.

Princess Zi Xuan was taken aback, then joyfully looked at Ye Tianchen and said: ”You... you’re alright now?”

”Yes, most of the injury has healed; this time it seems to have healed quicker!” Ye Tianchen nodded, saying with some curiosity.

Inside Ye Tianchen’s body was a healing force given by Zhang Ruotong, a force so miraculous it could heal severe wounds in an instant. Ye Tianchen found that the longer this healing force was nurtured within him, the stronger it became. In this short time, aided by the Buddhist Sect’s Healing Saint Skill, even such severe injuries were nearly healed, and more importantly, his Martial Arts True Qi had restored considerably; his battle power returned!

”That’s good, given your battle strength, even if veteran experts from other inheritances come, they might not be able to stop you!” Princess Zi Xuan nodded and smiled at Ye Tianchen.

”Actually, the rise and fall of an inheritance are like the journey of a Martial Artist from weakness to strength, from strength to decline; there’s always such a day!” Ye Tianchen said, looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

”I know, just feeling reluctant, unable to let go!” Princess Zi Xuan nodded and said.

Ye Tianchen sat beside Princess Zi Xuan, then looked below and said: ”Your decision is correct; if Senior Sang Qing were here, she would agree, perhaps even do the same. This is the best way to ensure Flying Flower Zen Temple’s strength remains!”

”Perhaps, other inheritances might not spare us easily, just hoping these sisters can escape!” Princess Zi Xuan said with a hint of worry.

”I’ve already sensed some murderous intent; it seems these other inheritances in the Northern State territory are becoming restless. They haven’t acted immediately because they are uncertain whether Senior Sang Qing has passed away. But now, as they’ve gathered around more and more, it seems they’ve confirmed it!” Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

”Confirmation is good, it had to happen sooner or later; let them come!” Princess Zi Xuan said calmly.

Ye Tianchen nodded, seating himself cross-legged beside Princess Zi Xuan, without further words. Princess Zi Xuan asked curiously: ”Why aren’t you leaving? What are you doing here?”

”You’ve decided not to leave, I naturally want to stay and lend a helping hand!” Ye Tianchen smiled slightly and said to Princess Zi Xuan.

”I... I didn’t intend not to go, just as Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple, how could I leave first? I’ll leave once I’ve seen all the other sisters off!” Princess Zi Xuan paused and said.

”Then I’ll leave with you!” Ye Tianchen said.

”You... don’t have to wait for me; you’ve come this far, Flying Flower Zen Temple hasn’t been wiped out. Go, we’ll meet again if fate allows!” Princess Zi Xuan said, looking at Ye Tianchen somewhat dazed.

Ye Tianchen shook his head, looking intently into Princess Zi Xuan’s eyes, smiling serenely and saying: ”You don’t need to deceive me or chase me away. I understand your thoughts; you want to wait here, waiting for those invading enemies to strike!”

”I... I’m not waiting; I want to make sure all my inherited sisters have left before I do. This is my responsibility as Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple!” Princess Zi Xuan paused and said.

”If this is truly your thought, you wouldn’t be unaware that your luggage has dropped!” Ye Tianchen smiled at Princess Zi Xuan.

Princess Zi Xuan turned instinctively, seeing the luggage that had fallen to the ground, she smiled awkwardly and said: ”For us Martial Artists, it’s irrelevant whether we have luggage or not; you should leave quickly!”

”No need, even leaving now will be too late; the entire inheritance site of Flying Flower Zen Temple is shrouded in murderous intent. It seems these other inheritances from the Northern State territory have gathered around too, they are very determined!” Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.
