Chapter 2247 - 2245: [White Clothes Sect, Lu Zhanqi]

Chapter 2247: Chapter 2245: [White Clothes Sect, Lu Zhanqi]

The White Clothes Sect, in terms of inheritance within the Northern State Territory, is considered quite powerful. At this moment, standing in front of Princess Zi Xuan, preventing her from breaking the formation and leading the sisters of the Flying Flower Zen Temple to escape, is Lu Zhanqi, a young powerhouse of the White Clothes Sect!

However, the appearance of Lu Zhanqi from the White Clothes Sect, especially at such a critical juncture for the survival of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, truly surprised Princess Zi Xuan. It was even more unexpected and puzzling than the appearance of Bai Xiaofei!

Because the actions of the White Clothes Sect angered all the inheritances within the Northern State Territory, these inheritances were willing to unite to destroy the White Clothes Sect in one fell swoop. At that time, although the White Clothes Sect was not small in power, it could not contend with all the inheritances of the Northern State Territory. At that time, the Sect Leader of the White Clothes Sect, Lu Huanzhi, who is Lu Zhanqi’s father, sought out Sang Qing, the Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, hoping to get assistance. His attitude was extremely sincere, even speaking with tears. Sang Qing originally did not want to help the White Clothes Sect because the White Clothes Sect was indeed too excessive and vicious, which was why it angered all the sects of the Northern State Territory, causing them to attack in unison. Helping the White Clothes Sect at that time meant offending all other inheritances in the Northern State Territory. However, Sang Qing, being a kind-hearted and benevolent person, did not want to see the White Clothes Sect be destroyed alive like that. So she acted as a mediator, helping to resolve the matter for the White Clothes Sect!

At that time, the Flying Flower Zen Temple was one of the most powerful inheritances in the Northern State Territory. Sang Qing was among the top three strongest in the Northern State Territory. Not many inheritances dared to offend the Flying Flower Zen Temple, and even fewer dared to easily offend Sang Qing, thus letting the White Clothes Sect off the hook. One could say that the White Clothes Sect surviving to this day was thanks to Sang Qing’s merit. Otherwise, there would be no White Clothes Sect or Lu Huanzhi and Lu Zhanqi father and son in this world!

What no one expected was that this father and son would be so despicable and shameless, repaying kindness with betrayal. When the Flying Flower Zen Temple faced great calamity, at the critical moment of life and death, they feared being implicated. Not only did they not repay the favor, but Lu Zhanqi also appeared, seemingly wanting to fight against Princess Zi Xuan and participate in the annihilation of the Flying Flower Zen Temple’s inheritance, vying for the Immortal Origin Liquid. This truly made people feel a chill in their hearts and also anger!

"That’s right. If it weren’t for Sang Qing back then, perhaps our White Clothes Sect would have already been destroyed. But times have changed. Now the inheritance of the Flying Flower Zen Temple has run its course, and everyone wants to destroy the Flying Flower Zen Temple and seize the Immortal Origin Liquid. Naturally, my White Clothes Sect wants a share!" Lu Zhanqi spoke very nonchalantly and with great shamelessness!

"I’ve never seen someone as despicable and shameless as you and your White Clothes Sect, repaying kindness with betrayal, while sounding so dignified!" Princess Zi Xuan said with a frown of indignation.

"So what? Your struggle and resistance now are meaningless. You’ve seen it; the entire inheritance of the Flying Flower Zen Temple is surrounded. Such a powerful formation, you simply don’t have the strength to break it. Therefore, I think you should surrender!" Lu Zhanqi said with a cold smile.

"Hmph, do you think I will surrender? I, Zi Xuan, have never done such a disgraceful thing!" Princess Zi Xuan snorted disdainfully.

"Since you want to resist but don’t have the strength, I think you can do this: tell me the location of the Immortal Origin Liquid, and later, I’ll figure out a way to plead with the other inheritances. Maybe you can still survive, though if you want to survive, the other inheritances may not trust you. You’d better abolish your own cultivation, and I will try to save your life!" Lu Zhanqi said ruthlessly.

"Do you think I would believe you? After I abolish my cultivation, the first person to kill me might just be you. Besides, what about my other sisters of the Flying Flower Zen Temple?" Princess Zi Xuan looked at Lu Zhanqi with an expression of complete disbelief.

Lu Zhanqi frowned. He hadn’t expected Princess Zi Xuan to be so difficult to deceive and so steadfast in protecting her Flying Flower Zen Temple. It wasn’t something easily swayed with a few words. So, he also revealed his true colors, a touch of impatience showing at the corners of his mouth as he said with a vicious smile: "Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being impolite. Now it’s still time for you to tell me the location of the Immortal Origin Liquid. Otherwise, the Iron Ruler in my hand shows no mercy..."

Princess Zi Xuan glanced at the Iron Ruler Treasure in Lu Zhanqi’s hand, and couldn’t help but smile calmly and said: "A scum like you, so ungrateful, even if you fight me, you won’t defeat me!"

"Really? It seems that all the situation is unfavorable to your Flying Flower Zen Temple now. The longer I keep you here, the more of your sisters at the Flying Flower Zen Temple will perish. I think they will soon be killed off, and by then, you won’t be able to escape either!" Lu Zhanqi said with a vicious smile.

Swish!

Princess Zi Xuan immediately unleashed a sword strike toward Lu Zhanqi. Lu Zhanqi frowned. He had been hiding in the shadows, witnessing all of this before him. The powerful combat strength that Princess Zi Xuan displayed also shocked him. Even though his own cultivation realm had reached the Early-stage Martial Saint, he was not very confident in triumphing if he were to battle Princess Zi Xuan now!

However, in Lu Zhanqi’s view, after this series of battles, no matter how formidable Princess Zi Xuan might be, the Martial Arts True Qi within her had been largely depleted, and her combat strength was no longer as powerful. Now, by stepping out to block Princess Zi Xuan and challenging her, defeating her was the most likely way to obtain the information on the whereabouts of the Immortal Origin Liquid. That was why Lu Zhanqi appeared at this moment—a truly despicable and scheming villain!

Swoosh!

Lu Zhanqi did not retreat. At the moment, he swung the Iron Ruler in his hand, striking towards Princess Zi Xuan’s Sword Qi. The two forces collided against each other, creating a stalemate. This situation couldn’t help but bring a faint smile to the corners of Lu Zhanqi’s mouth, thinking that everything was under his control. Although Princess Zi Xuan was strong, with her combat strength somewhat exceeding her cultivation realm, she wasn’t powerful enough to fight across stages like Ye Tianchen. The reason why Princess Zi Xuan could unleash such formidable potential combat power was that she had obtained the Cheng Ying Sword, disregarding all constraints, and was solely focused on protecting the inheritance of the Flying Flower Zen Temple!

In Lu Zhanqi’s view, all of this was under his control. In this way, his judgments were correct, and the plans were precise. His blocking here was much more useful than those foolishly slaughtering the female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. As long as he defeated Princess Zi Xuan, obtaining the Immortal Origin Liquid would be in the bag!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Lu Zhanqi and Princess Zi Xuan engaged in a fierce battle. Despite Princess Zi Xuan’s formidable combat strength, her battle power erupted at this moment. However, as Lu Zhanqi predicted, after a series of battles, Princess Zi Xuan’s Martial Arts True Qi within her was exhausted. Her combat power was not as strong, and being at the same early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, she could still fight Lu Zhanqi, but defeating him in a short time seemed impossible!

Boom!

Two powerful Slaughter Auras collided with each other, forcing both Princess Zi Xuan and Lu Zhanqi to take a step back. They both looked at each other coldly. Princess Zi Xuan didn’t expect that in just a few short years, Lu Zhanqi’s combat strength had improved significantly. No wonder their White Clothes Sect dared to be ungrateful and had the audacity to come here to take a share; it turned out that the White Clothes Sect had been secretly enhancing their strength over the years!

Lu Zhanqi was unexpectedly shocked, having thought that Princess Zi Xuan’s battle strength was already exhausted. Even if she could still fight him, she wouldn’t be able to hold on long. Little did he know that the confrontation of Slaughter Auras left Lu Zhanqi unbelievably surprised, as he couldn’t imagine that Princess Zi Xuan was still so formidable, seemingly not even struggling as they fought!

"Zi Xuan, are you really so assured to fight me now?" Lu Zhanqi asked with a cold smile as he looked at Princess Zi Xuan.

"No tricks, I won’t be fooled. For a despicable and ungrateful villain like you, only killing you will bring satisfaction!" Princess Zi Xuan gritted her teeth and said.

"Ah, I advise you to look behind, to see your Senior Sister Jin Hua, she seems unable to hold on, almost on the brink of annihilation!" Lu Zhanqi sighed and said playfully.

Upon hearing this, Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t help but be startled and turned to glance at Senior Sister Jin Hua not far behind her. When she looked, she found that Senior Sister Jin Hua was covered in blood, notably with her left arm severed. Four strong early-stage Martial Saints were continuously attacking with the Power of Slaughter. Even as powerful as Senior Sister Jin Hua was, she was only at the early-stage Martial Saint level. She was continuously retreating until finally struck by a Power of Slaughter, shattering and turning her left arm into ashes on the spot!

However, Senior Sister Jin Hua did not utter a single sound nor retreated a step, fiercely withstanding these Powers of Slaughter, using a resolve to delay as long as possible, with a determination to die, to block these four early-stage Martial Saints. Because Senior Sister Jin Hua understood, Princess Zi Xuan had not yet broken through the formation. At this moment, she had to do her utmost to delay these four early-stage Martial Saint experts. Unfortunately, it seemed she could no longer hold them back, and was about to be annihilated...
