742 Beginning Breakthrough! (2)

This was a request he had long thought of, and he also wanted to use it to thank his Ancestral Master. However, after Emperor Zhao heard Chen Tangwen’s words, he could not help but frown. After a long while, he said, “Lord Chen, can you change your request?”

“What?” Chen Tangwen also frowned and looked at Emperor Zhao on the jade steps. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a low voice, “Are you worried about the Lotus Flower Monastery?”

If an edict was issued to show that the Immortal Wind Monastery was an orthodox sect of the Dao Sects and the Xuan Sects, it would actually be equivalent to saying that the Lotus Flower Monastery was slandering the Immortal Wind Monastery back then.

“Since Lord Chen knows, why make this request?” Emperor Zhao’s expression turned colder as he said indifferently, “Lord Chen, you should know better than me what kind of foundation and power the Lotus Flower Monastery has.”

“Heh, short-sighted!” Chen Tangwen did not continue explaining. He flicked his sleeve and left. He turned around and left the palace. “From now on, I’ll only protect the people in the city. You can only hope that luck is on your side!”

Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared, leaving behind the Emperor and ministers who looked at each other in the hall.

Boom!

After a while, a loud bang suddenly came from the main hall.

Immediately after, the court assembly dispersed, and the officials left in a hurry as if they were fleeing for their lives.

Later on, there were rumors that the Emperor had broken the armrest of the dragon throne in his anger.

Along with this rumor, there was also the news that Chen Tangwen would rather give up the title of Prime Minister in the royal court to clear the name of the Immortal Wind Monastery.

This once again caused a large-scale discussion in the civilian martial arts world.

For a moment, the Immortal Wind Monastery was in the limelight again. More and more people paid attention to whether the Lotus Flower Monastery had slandered the Immortal Wind Monastery back then.

At the same time, many people also found out the reason why the Immortal Wind Monastery reappeared in the world.

The Immortal who had given the Immortal Wind Monastery’s Patriarch the martial technique 700 years ago had descended personally!

This undoubtedly added to the legendary color of the Immortal Wind Monastery again. It began to attract more people’s attention and became more and more famous.

Of course, in contrast, the reputation of the Lotus Flower Monastery plummeted.

More and more people thought that the Lotus Flower Monastery had framed the Immortal Wind Monastery back then with the goal of snatching the martial techniques of the Immortal Wind Monastery.

As for the bottle of so-called heart blood of young children, it was very likely faked with pig or duck blood.

Various jokes about the Lotus Flower Monastery even began to spread in the martial world of Great Zhao.

However, as the Great Zhao Imperial Court strictly controlled such comments and captured the creator of the rumors, these jokes about the Lotus Flower Monastery quickly disappeared.

No one dared to discuss the Lotus Flower Monastery anymore. Not even many people dared to talk about the Immortal Wind Monastery.

However, at this point, the existence of the Immortal Wind Monastery was already deeply imprinted in everyone’s hearts.

Whether it was the martial artists or ordinary people, they all remembered the existence of such a sect.

On a mountain peak outside Linjing.

Jue Xin, who had already grown his hair out and was wearing a Daoist robe, stood beside Chen Tangwen. He looked at the distant Linjing City and smiled. “Junior Brother, what do you think?”

“Great Zhao is hopeless.” Chen Tangwen shook his head. He was completely disappointed.

“After this battle, the barbarians have already realized the importance of top martial arts experts,” Jue Xin said in a low voice. “The next time they come to attack Linjing City, there should be top experts accompanying the army.”

“I’m not weaker than anyone below the Deity Realm.” Chen Tangwen’s gaze was still firm. “I’ll stay here and try my best to protect the people.”

“The Ancestral Master asked me to pay attention to your safety.” Jue Xin sighed softly. “In case you die.”

“…” Chen Tangwen fell silent for a moment before saying with a bitter smile, “I’ve let Ancestral Master down.”

“Ancestral Master will be satisfied if you can return alive.” Jue Xin patted Chen Tangwen’s shoulder gently. “At the critical moment, I’ll save you.”

“Senior Brother, there should be people from the Lotus Flower Monastery watching over your every move. Don’t take risks because of me.” Chen Tangwen shook his head and said, “I can handle it.”

“This is an order from the Ancestral Master. Don’t refuse,” Jue Xin said in a low voice.

“…Then I’ll have to trouble Senior Brother.” Chen Tangwen sighed.

… .

As Chen Tangwen no longer interfered with the city defense and only ensured the safety of ordinary people, when Linjing City was besieged by the barbarians again, the city gate was almost breached.

The reason why it was not broken was because the top expert of the Lotus Flower Monastery had appeared. He planned to imitate Chen Tangwen and turn the tide.

However, he did not expect that there would also be three top experts in the barbarian army this time. This top expert of Lotus Flower Monastery was severely injured on the spot and fled.

However, just as the barbarian army was about to charge into the capital, Chen Tangwen stood up again and requested that the barbarians not harm the people after entering the city. Otherwise, he would take their general’s head again.

This naturally attracted the ridicule of the barbarian soldiers. The barbarian general even threatened to massacre the entire Linjing City after entering the city.

However, after hearing their mockery, Chen Tangwen flew down from the city wall and rushed into the army as if he had entered an uninhabited place.

The three top experts could not even catch the corner of his clothes. They could only watch helplessly as he took the head of the general and left.

The barbarians’ attack on Linjing City was neutralized again, and they had no choice but to retreat.

After the news of this battle spread, Chen Tangwen and the Immortal Wind Monastery became the most commonly mentioned names in the world again. Many people began to search for the whereabouts of the Immortal Wind Monastery, wanting to become their disciples and learn martial arts, but they could not find any clues.

However, the barbarians did not give up on attacking Linjing City. After another half a year, they actually organized an army again and even invited five top experts to hold the line and attack Linjing City again.

Chen Tangwen’s request was the same as last time. As long as they did not hurt the people of Great Zhao, he could ignore the matters of the city defense.

This time, the barbarians agreed readily. The Linjing City was immediately lost. Emperor Zhao, who was in the palace, was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled. Most of the officials in the dynasty also fled.

However, after entering the city, the barbarians broke their promise and started to massacre the city.

Chen Tangwen was furious. He actually killed his way through the barbarian army alone with a single sword by his side. Not only did he take the head of the general, but he also killed more than half of the barbarian soldiers. The five top experts were all killed. This battle shook the world. The barbarians completely gave up on attacking Linjing City. Even after taking down the other cities, they would treat the people well and not dare to slaughter the commoners again, afraid that Chen Tangwen would kill his way over.

At the same time, the barbarians turned their main attention to chasing after Emperor Zhao, who had escaped from the city.

In the end, Emperor Zhao was captured by the “senior monks” of the Lotus Flower Monastery during his escape and handed over to the barbarian generals chasing after him. From then on, Great Zhao was destroyed and the barbarians completely occupied the Central Plains.

As the Lotus Flower Monastery had contributed greatly to capturing Emperor Zhao, they were later treated as esteemed guests in the Dayuan Imperial Court. They received huge support in terms of resources and quickly grew stronger.

After the establishment of Dayuan, Chen Tangwen returned to the Immortal Wind Monastery and no longer cared about the affairs of the mortal world. He had successfully protected the people from slaughter. His wish had been fulfilled, and he would focus on cultivating from now on.

Although the Immortal Wind Monastery had never really appeared after that, through Chen Tangwen’s series of actions, the name of this sect had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even ordinary people knew that it was the people from the Immortal Wind Monastery who had saved them in the chaos at the end of the dynasty.

Many people even posted statues of the Ancestral Master of the Immortal Wind Monastery in their houses to pray for the safety and health of their families.

At this point, Cui Heng’s spatial Dao mark had finally completely condensed. He could return his existence to a time point that originally did not exist!

In the current space-time dimension, Cui Heng, who was standing in the Chaos Sea, suddenly opened his eyes.

His entire body began to emit a bright silver light. Light and shadows flickered around him, and an illusory River of Time appeared. The river water inside boiled and surged.
