Changed!

Elder Sang Hua of the Flying Flower Zen Temple has changed!

Princess Zi Xuan’s second master has changed!

She has changed to only acknowledge the inheritance of the West State’s Buddhist Sect, ignoring everything else. Even though she is still Elder Sang Hua from the past, still Princess Zi Xuan’s second master, this Elder Sang Hua’s heart is filled only with slaughter. Anyone who does not convert to the West State’s Buddhist Sect, she will kill, even if the person before her is Princess Zi Xuan, whom she personally raised and taught various Martial Arts Divine Skills. She would still take action to kill!

Just as Ye Tianchen said, this Elder Sang Hua has already been changed by the inheritance of the West State’s Buddhist Sect, becoming unrecognizable to her kin, left only with slaughter and bloodlust. She will definitely not hold back because of Princess Zi Xuan’s past close relationship with her!

Elder Sang Hua turned the horsetail whisk in her hand into a sword, unleashing a series of Sword Qi, slashing towards Princess Zi Xuan. Princess Zi Xuan had no time to play the jade flute in her hand, only able to use the flute’s resilience to transform into a feeling of a sword, battling Elder Sang Hua’s flower sword.

Flying Flower Sword Skill duels Flying Flower Sword Skill!

Ye Tianchen blocked the killing power of these petals with a Taiji Bagua pattern, but still sustained injuries, only able to slowly dissolve the power of these petals. Dissolving takes time; fortunately, Ye Tianchen had already prepared himself, not facing too much pressure. He now watched intently as Princess Zi Xuan and Elder Sang Hua battled in the sky, focusing fully. In the duel of similar swordsmanship divine powers, is the master stronger, or the disciple?

Swish!

Swish!

Two powerful Sword Flowers clashed like petals, colliding with each other, turning into dust, leaving Ye Tianchen speechless. The divine skills of the Flying Flower Zen Temple are indeed special, able to turn Sword Qi into Sword Flowers for slaughter. Ye Tianchen had never seen such an application of divine skills!

Boom!

With a loud noise, blossoms flew up in the sky as two powerful forces collided. Princess Zi Xuan was forced back a few steps. Elder Sang Hua looked at Princess Zi Xuan and shook her head, saying: ”The Flying Flower Sword Skill isn’t weak among the Killing Divine Abilities of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. I haven’t used it for hundreds of years since leaving the temple, yet you still can’t defeat me. It seems I shouldn’t have taught you Martial Arts Divine Skills back then, such a waste!”

”Second master, don’t be stubborn. I don’t wish to defeat you. It holds no meaning for me. You are my family!” Princess Zi Xuan earnestly said to Elder Sang Hua.

”Defeat me? You lack the capability. You haven’t even cultivated the Flying Flower Sword Skill to the Great Achievement Realm, and you think you can defeat me? In my view, you are just a waste of Flying Flower Zen Temple. We shouldn’t have taken you in back then!” Elder Sang Hua harshly reprimanded Princess Zi Xuan.

”Second master, if the disciple has shown any disrespect towards you, if I’ve caused you harm, please forgive the disciple’s unfilial behavior!” Princess Zi Xuan’s eyes changed, and she said while her jade flute trembled.

Ye Tianchen watched Princess Zi Xuan, understanding her feelings, her helplessness, her sadness. Princess Zi Xuan, an orphan since childhood, was lucky to be adopted by the Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple and Elder Sang Hua. They became her master and second master. For Princess Zi Xuan, Elder Sang Hua has parental affection, a familial bond, and master-disciple sentiments. How could Princess Zi Xuan not feel heartbroken, faced with harming her master and second master?

But at this point, Princess Zi Xuan truly understood that her former second master was long gone. The person before her, Elder Sang Hua, is definitely not her second master because her second master loved her dearly, would never attack her like this. Now, Princess Zi Xuan had no reason to ponder further. She couldn’t possibly sacrifice her life here!

”Hmph, such arrogance. Let me see how you plan to harm me with this Flying Flower Sword Skill... Hmm?” Elder Sang Hua hadn’t finished speaking before narrowing her eyes, warily perceiving the surroundings.

Because, as Elder Sang Hua spoke, the petals around her suddenly gathered and continuously transformed. The previously shattered Sword Flowers once again condensed. When Elder Sang Hua waved her flower sword, preparing to shatter Princess Zi Xuan’s Sword Flowers, these Sword Flowers began to move, evading Elder Sang Hua’s flower sword power!

”You... have you cultivated the Flying Flower Sword Skill to the Top-level Profound Meaning realm?” Elder Sang Hua asked Princess Zi Xuan, surprised.

”Second Master, wake up, I don’t want to hurt you!” Princess Zi Xuan looked at Elder Sang Hua with heartfelt emotion and spoke.

”Hahahaha, you really think too highly of yourself. Even if you have cultivated the Flying Flower Sword Skill to possess the top-level profound meaning, you are still not my opponent. I am just surprised that you have made some progress over the years!” Elder Sang Hua laughed heartily and said.

Buzz!

Suddenly, just as Elder Sang Hua finished speaking, she felt as if the void behind her shattered. Her whole being fell into the void, surrounded by pitch darkness, unable to see anything. Elder Sang Hua frowned, wielded the flower sword in her hand, and unleashed a beam of sword light, instantly illuminating the dark space. At the moment the dark space lit up, Elder Sang Hua saw surrounding her were the figures of Princess Zi Xuan!

”Is this the top-level profound meaning of your Flying Flower Sword Skill?” Elder Sang Hua frowned and asked.

”That’s right, Second Master. This is the top-level profound meaning I have cultivated with the Flying Flower Sword Skill. What do you think?” Princess Zi Xuan spoke.

Elder Sang Hua looked around cautiously, then frowned and said, ”Our Flying Flower Zen Temple’s Flying Flower Sword Skill is something everyone can cultivate, but to cultivate it to the realm of great achievement is very difficult, and cultivating the top-level profound meaning is even more difficult. Everyone’s understanding of the Flying Flower Sword Skill is different, so the top-level profound meaning they cultivate will be different!”

”Second Master, come back, you are still Elder Sang Hua of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, still my Second Master!” Princess Zi Xuan said urgently.

”You are mistaken. I have now pledged allegiance to the Buddhist Sect and will never return. I am the guardian of the West State Buddhist Sect. Anyone who comes here and does not pledge allegiance to my Buddha has only one path—death, without exception, including you. Since you have displayed the top-level profound meaning of the Flying Flower Sword Skill, let me show you the top-level profound meaning I have cultivated!” Elder Sang Hua said coldly.

As soon as the words fell, Elder Sang Hua wielded the flower sword in her hand, unleashing an extraordinary force that instantly illuminated and continuously shattered the entire dark space. When all returned to calm, Princess Zi Xuan and Elder Sang Hua were locked in battle, Elder Sang Hua’s expression was solemn, and blood stained the corner of Princess Zi Xuan’s mouth!

”Second Master, your top-level profound meaning of the Flying Flower Sword Skill has changed, and has lost the strength of our Flying Flower Zen Temple!” Princess Zi Xuan said with some heartache.

”I have pledged allegiance to the Buddhist Sect and become the guardian of the West State Buddhist Sect, so it is bound to change. However, you were able to withstand the top-level profound meaning of my Flying Flower Sword Skill with only light injuries, which is quite a big improvement, well done!” Elder Sang Hua said earnestly.

Boom!

With a loud noise, Ye Tianchen had shattered all the power of slaughter from the petals, and without hesitation, flew towards the heights, where an artifact lay. Ye Tianchen had long seen that the artifact on the high platform must hold some mystery; Elder Sang Hua, being so powerful and able to contend against him and Princess Zi Xuan, proved her strength. But such a powerful figure of the older generation willingly guarded here, watching over both the artifact on the high platform and the peacock feather—a truly curious matter. Thus, Ye Tianchen’s target was this artifact and peacock feather; he wanted to find out more!

”Hmm? Bold fool, stop!” Elder Sang Hua, seeing Ye Tianchen darting toward the artifact and peacock feather, became furious and turned to chase Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen saw Elder Sang Hua pursuing him and couldn’t resist showing a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His hands swiftly formed a sealing skill, and in an instant, a Buddhist Rune Net suppressed down, startling Elder Sang Hua to hesitation and wielding the flower sword to destroy the Buddhist Rune, saying, ”You also know the Buddhist Divine Power?”

”Holding you off for a moment is enough!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

With a swift turn, Ye Tianchen transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the artifact at the fastest speed. Elder Sang Hua was shocked, unable to remain complacent anymore, for she had guarded here for many years, for this artifact and peacock feather, and if Ye Tianchen destroyed them, all her hope and reliance would be extinguished, so she certainly wouldn’t allow anyone to destroy this artifact!

Swish!

A sword light burst through the sky, a series of sword flowers attacked the Buddhist Rune Net propelled by Ye Tianchen. These sword flowers endlessly swallowed the Buddhist Rune, tearing a gap in the Buddhist Rune Net, startling Ye Tianchen into a frown. Elder Sang Hua was indeed strong; even with all his might in battle, he did not have absolute confidence to prevail over her!

However, as Elder Sang Hua charged towards him, Ye Tianchen appeared calm, as his right hand already held the artifact, smiling as he looked at Elder Sang Hua who arrived before him, saying, ”If I accidentally break this artifact or snap this peacock feather, what then?” (To be continued.
