Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 870 For Shenzhou, nothing is too great a sacrifice [2 more updates]
Chapter 870: 870 For Shenzhou, nothing is too great a sacrifice [2 more updates]
Ye Wanlan closed her eyes, her arm trembling slightly.
She had always been thinking, if she had been there at that time, what could she have done to prevent all this from happening.
She didn’t know.
She only knew that she was also willing to give her life for Shenzhou.
And when Yan Tingfeng left the Shenxiao Tower Headquarters, just as the Left and Right Guardians had finished transferring all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and books, and had laid tons of gunpowder, the invaders’ troops had arrived at the holy site in the hearts of the entire Martial World.
"I’ve heard that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower’s martial arts are the best in the world, even the King of Yan is somewhat inferior." The leading enemy laughed, "But unfortunately, in this general’s opinion, your world’s best is nothing more than an ant in our place."
Though they said this, Ye Wanlan could see the apprehension on the enemy’s face.
Ever since Yan Tingfeng had ascended to the Supreme Martial Arts Master at the age of sixteen, he had rarely made a move, and there was very little information about him.
Ten years later, it was impossible to determine his true strength.
"What, hiding your head and showing your tail, don’t dare to come out?" The leading enemy sneered, "It seems the name of this Jianghu overlord doesn’t quite fit. If this is the case, this general suggests you meekly surrender and hand over the treasures. Perhaps this general might consider leaving you an intact corpse."
Such humiliating words, yet still no response from anyone.
The leading enemy finally sensed that something was not right.
As if realizing something, his expression changed, and he suddenly shouted sharply, "Retreat——"
However, it was already too late.
"Boom! Boom boom!"
Countless explosives detonated in an instant, with continuous rumbling explosions, raising clouds of dust.
The Right Protector’s face was sinister, covered in blood: "Want the Highest Heaven Tower, in your next life!"
The Left Protector chuckled bitterly, "This way of dying is a bit painful, should have chosen another way..."
That explosion burned the Highest Heaven Tower clean from inside to outside.
The cursing, wailing, and screaming of the enemies intertwined, sounding like a sweet melody to the Left and Right Guardians.
Because with the smallest cost, they had killed ten thousand enemies.
Their achievements were enough to leave a name in the annals of history.
But they did not.
Even in the chronicles of Jianghu, it only mentioned that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower had two guardians and nine lords who defended the nine branches.
Too many nameless warriors died that day, the tragedy of it all could not be described in words.
Among the Six Great Sects, the Great Purity Sect had the most survivors, but it was only eleven or twelve people.
"Sect Leader, we succeeded!" The remaining disciple was overjoyed, "Indeed only the Tower Master could achieve this!"
The Heavenly Moat was slowly forming, and the enemies realized this with great reluctance.
Because they were just a step away from completely conquering Shenzhou, obtaining all Shenzhou’s vitality.
"Cough cough... I haven’t completed my last step yet." Rong Shi coughed up blood with each cough, "Within three minutes, the Tower Master must be completely frozen to preserve his life."
"Speeding up, Sect Leader." A disciple spoke, holding back tears, "The Tower Master’s body... if not for the Life-Devouring Gu, would indeed have shattered instantly."
Ye Wanlan lowered her head, looking at the young man lying in the ice coffin.
At this moment, his jet-black hair had completely turned white, his lips bloodless, his eyebrows and eyes covered with frost, his skin riddled with countless wounds, too many to count.
But under the effect of the Life-Devouring Gu, these wounds were slowly healing.
Rong Shi coughed again, speaking more urgently: "Quick! There’s no time!"
Finally, in the last second, the freezing was completed.
The few disciples collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, yet they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They had succeeded!
This war, at the cost of millions of lives, had finally preserved the spark of hope.
Rong Ling, the senior brother of the Great Purity Sect, was speechless: "With the Sect Leader doing this, when the Tower Master awakens in the future, will he indeed not hold resentment?"
The one who survives often bears the most.
The Master of Highest Heaven Tower, when he chose to merge the three forces of Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, to summon the Heavenly Moat, he was already prepared for death.
But Rong Shi used these Three Ultimate Powers which were too overbearing, necessitating the use of the Life-Devouring Gu to lock the soul in the body to withstand the powerful strike.
At that time, Yan Tingfeng did not know that the Life-Devouring Gu was used to ensure his body would not be torn apart and destroyed by immense power.
Rong Shi had long been prepared for him to awaken again in a hundred years.
"He will." Rong Shi was silent for a long time, "But, he will also understand, even if he resents me to the extreme, I would still do the same countless times over."
For Shenzhou, nothing cannot be sacrificed.
Rong Ling was silent again for a long while, then spoke in a hoarse voice: "Then, Sect Leader, have you seen when Shenzhou will be revitalized?"
"Cough cough..." Rong Shi was already coughing blood, he picked up a handkerchief to wipe his lips, "That depends on Her Royal Highness the Princess."
When he said this, his gaze was continuously in the direction where Ye Wanlan stood.
Rong Ling suddenly exclaimed, "Sect Leader!"
"Rong Shi!" Ye Wanlan watched in horror as wound after wound appeared on Rong Shi’s body, as if enduring the torture of death by a thousand cuts.
Blood spurted out, quickly staining his white clothes red, a shocking sight.
"My time has come." Rong Shi seemed oblivious to the pain, he raised his head and murmured, "May everything go smoothly."
Under the heartbroken gazes of Rong Ling and the remaining disciples of the Great Purity Sect, Rong Shi’s body completely shattered into fragments.
This was the forbidden technique of the Great Purity Sect — Grafting Flowers onto Trees.
Rong Shi transferred part of the injuries Yan Tingfeng had suffered onto his own body.
He had been frail and sickly and enduring until now was already at his limit.
Rong Ling slowly knelt, "Farewell, Sect Leader, your orders will be remembered in our hearts."
Rong Ling led the remaining disciples to establish the Rong Family, each Supreme Elder of the Rong Family waiting for the awakening of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, keeping this secret, year after year.
Flowers bloom and fall, spring departs and winter arrives.
When the warm wind once again sweeps across Shenzhou Land Continent, the ice and snow melt,
Three hundred years later, just as there was no more Princess Yongning, there was no more Master of Highest Heaven Tower in Shenzhou Land Continent.
This time, he was called Yan Tingfeng.
As night falls, the sound of wind and rain fills the ear, Tie Ma and Bing He enter dreams.
Unknowingly, Ye Wanlan’s face was full of tears, all wet.
Countless voices rushed into her ears, anxious to the extreme.
"Why does Her Highness cry?"
"Little Junior Sister, are you okay?"
"Ah Lan, what’s wrong, any concerns? Tell your aunt."
Everyone indeed was anxious because they had never seen Ye Wanlan in this state.
What had she seen that made her cry like this?
