Chapter 351 The Orthodoxy (1/2)

Fang Yanying could somehow understand what Uncle-Master wanted to express. That man in white had kins where their bodies had similar death-defying abilities, maybe some even mastered extraordinary powers.

It was not a big deal when dealing with one or two with similar capabilities but if there was a whole group with the same death-defying abilities as the man in white? It did not matter whether there were some with weaker attacks and strengths than the man in white, it would still be a spine-chilling force.

She could not help but worry because she was clear that Uncle-Master would not be afraid, but behind him was still Qing Xuan — the other pupils of the same sect that she had never met before.

Not all of them were as formidable as Uncle-Master.

Shen Lian smiled at her, those pair of eyes filled with warm mirth and the deep significance that could pierce through Fan Yanying's inner mind.

Finally, Shen Lian said, ”Follow me back to the mountains.”

Fang Yanying could not refrain from being stunned. She asked, ”But what about the Temple of Killings?”

The Temple of Killings was the foundation set up by Honored Master, there were the bones of the deceased pupils. As the disciple of the Honored Master, she was duty-bound to guard this piece of land.

Shen Lian simply said, ”You live, the Temple of Killings lives.”

Fang Yanying kept quiet. Without Uncle-Master and Honored Master, her enemies would definitely come looking. She was clear that she could not guard the Temple of Killings by herself.

Also, Shen Lian's meaning was very clear. She was the extension of Chen Jianmei's orthodoxy. As long she exists, the Temple of Killings will always be here. Even if it got destroyed, it was merely a physical loss.

However, the bones of her senior-brothers were already in the ground. Should she had dug them out or just let them be here?

Finally, she still decided to stay. With a very solemn tone, she said, ”My heart is here and I have no desire to go anywhere else.”

Her thoughts were simple. Honored Master left Qing Xuan, established this orthodoxy that was different than that of Qing Xuan and he never went back to the mountains, not even asking once for help from the sect.

No matter how unworthy she was as his disciple, she could not allow Honored Master's prestige to fall and take shelter at Qing Xuan.

Fang Yanying was clear that her insistence seemed somewhat laughable and naïve, but if she did not do so, she would regret it. If she stayed in the mountains, ground away for ten years, excel at the world-shaking swordcraft and let the people of this world remember once again that there is a peerless sword cultivator as Chen Jianmei. Now, with his successor now appearing in this world again, how wonderful that would sound. Nonetheless, would this be the matter that her Honored Master wished to see?

She respected her Uncle-Master like how she respected her Honored Master. But, no matter what, she was the successor of Chen Jianmei and this would never ever change.

Shen Lian did not urge her again. She was a stubborn child. She did not have the full extent of Chen Jianmei's abilities, but her inner mind was similar to Chen Jianmei's.

Chen Jianmei could listen to Zhang Ruoxu and endure ten years of loneliness. That was because he did not know the circumstances after unsheathing his sword. However, Fang Yanying had been following by Chen Jianmei's side, how could the sword be hidden after imperceptibly influenced by what she constantly saw and heard?

Shen Lian admired Chen Jianmei slightly for having a successor like this that could be passed with the mantle, but he still could not remain here because he was still the Chief of Qing Xuan.

Furthermore, regardless of what Chen Beidou had for him, going back to Qing Xuan was out of the question as it was his home field.

He knew that sooner or later he would meet this so-called Lord of God and he would have an insight of other's sword when the time comes. Once that person pulled out his sword, he would definitely not hesitate and pull back.

The other really treasured him as his opponent, that was why he did not come looking for him. Shen Lian could almost guess why Chen Beidou was interested in him. Chen Beidou was that sword cultivator who smashed through the Ming Wang Temple and took the Chart of Celestial Extermination. He was also the one who lost to Sword Saint Ziwei's Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura and Shen Lian learned the foundation of the Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura from Mister Su— the Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura.

Furthermore, Chen Beidou wanted to give him ten thousand demon soldiers to slaughter and cultivate his sword will.
