Chapter 14: It’s Easy To Die in Battle, but Difficult To Live

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Blood Flame Sect was not famous at the moment, but it was famous thousands of years ago.

It was because their Chief Sect leader and their Holy Land were destroyed by the founding Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom. Therefore, for the past hundred years, the Blood Flame Sect had been silently accumulating strength.

When the opportunity came, they would soar into the sky and let the Blood Flame Sect appear once again in the Northern Kingdom, shocking everyone.

They had waited for hundreds of years. Finally, their Chief Sect Leader was about to break through to Martial Saint. Princess Zhaoyang and Prince Zhongyi had arranged a marriage to show them the weakness of the Northern Kingdom’s royal family.

They felt that the opportunity for the Blood Flame Sect to rise once again had arrived. Therefore, under their organization, many sects that had similar experiences with the Blood Flame Sect were secretly gathered once again.

In order to raise the morale of these sects and increase their cohesion, just three days ago, the Sect Leader of the Blood Flame Sect, a peak ninth-grade martial artist, and a few deacons of the Blood Flame Sect had stayed in the palace for a night. They had even obtained many treasures from the palace.

This time, not only had they managed to escape unscathed, but it had also been three days since the palace had discovered that the treasures had been lost while they were hiding in the Nine Palace Mountain.

All signs showed that not only was the foundation of the Northern Kingdom unstable, even if Prince Zhongyi was pacified and did not cause any trouble, the royal family of the Northern Kingdom had completely fallen. The Martial Saint was definitely no longer around and the Northern Kingdom could be changed anytime.

“Over the years, Prince Zhongyi has killed many advanced female martial artists. Although he did it secretly, he always kicked a nail and was schemed against. He was secretly killed. It was definitely not the Martial Saint…”

After the Blood Flame Sect’s Sect Leader pondered with a frown, his sudden words made everyone secretly nod their heads.

“That’s right, that’s right. The Sect Leader is right. The Martial Saint used his sword to shake the world. How could he have done it so quietly? This is definitely not the Martial Saint. The Martial Saint from the Northern Kingdom must be gone. Let’s not be fooled!”

“This is a great opportunity. That fake number one expert of the Northern Kingdom, Prince Zhongyi, was already dead. Who in the Imperial City can stop the Sect Leader when we make our move? Moreover, the Chief Sect Leader is about to come out…”

When the person who spoke mentioned the Chief Sect Leader of the Flame Sect, he cupped his hands towards the north and was exceptionally respectful. That was because the leader of the Flame Sect was in seclusion and it was said that he was about to break through to Martial Saint.

The Flame Sect had been hiding for a hundred years just for this opportunity to soar into the sky.

The Sect Leader, who was already at the peak of the ninth grade, weighed the pros and cons. He then thought about the situation when he went to the palace three days ago and the strength of the Chief Sect Leader. He looked at the people gathered by the Flame Sect on the Nine Palace Mountain.

For a time, he was filled with a heroic spirit. The Flame Sect wanted to become the national sect in the Northern Kingdom. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“I will go to the palace and destroy the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom. The Northern Kingdom belongs to the capable…”

The Sect Leader of the Flame Sect quickly spread the news. It was different from the last time when he sneaked into the palace. This time, the Flame Sect was going all out and even issued a challenge to the ruler of the Northern Kingdom!

The requirement was on the roof of the palace’s Throne Room in three days’ time to determine the winner!

He wanted everyone in the Northern Kingdom to see if the fate of the Northern Kingdom was with the Flame Sect or with the ruler of the Northern Kingdom. As they had expected, the Flame Sect, which had been lying low for a hundred years, was once again known by the world.

Li Yuanqing, who was about to bid farewell to Zhaoyang and return to the Wilderness, could not believe his ears.

The Flame Sect, a sect that had been exterminated by the Holy Grandmaster a hundred years ago, had actually revived after death and dared to stand on the roof of the Throne Room, wanting to compete with the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom?

Hahahaha, funny.

Even though the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom was extremely selfish and could sacrifice any child for the kingdom, he was the Emperor of a country. How could he be killed in the Throne Room?

Li Yuanqing went to Princess Zhaoyang’s residence once again because this was the place he was most familiar with. Other than Zhaoyang and Hu Jiujiu, no one knew that he had returned to the Capital.

Princess Zhaoyang was wiping her armor. When she saw Li Yuanqing, she did not pounce over like the last time and only bowed at him.

After the death of Prince Zhongyi, she thought that only her brother would take action to protect her.

Killing a ninth-grade Prince Zhongyi would definitely be extremely difficult for her brother. Even if they were siblings, Zhaoyang felt that her brother would be able to accept her kowtow. Furthermore, she might not have the chance to kowtow to him again.

“Big Brother, three days from now, I will follow my father and make a move. If the nest falls, there will be no eggs left. Take advantage of the fact that your reputation hasn’t been well known for the past four years and go to the Wilderness to painstakingly build your foundation. This might be the last hope of the Northern Kingdom…”

“It’s easy to die in battle, but it’s hard to live. I hope that big brother will remember how difficult it was for the Holy Grandmaster to establish the country. I hope that he won’t be able to wipe out the Li Family of the Northern Kingdom!”

Zhaoyang had a tragic expression on her face. Although her cultivation speed was fast, she was still only fourteen years old. Although she had the early wisdom as the royal family’s princess, strength was everything.

The Holy Grandmaster had not appeared for twenty years. He was definitely no longer in this world. Without the protection of the Holy Grandmaster, her father, who was at the peak of the eighth grade, would not be able to resist the Blood Flame Sect. If her father died in battle, how could she survive?

Thus, this time, she didn’t call him ‘Brother’ like she usually did. Instead, she called him ‘Big Brother’. Three days later, the Li Clan of the Northern Kingdom would no longer be part of the royal family. Instead, they would become stray dogs that would be hunted down by others.

Li Yuanqing did not say anything the whole time. He looked at the tragic Zhaoyang who was determined to die and revealed a displeased expression.

“Nonsense, if you really think of me as your big brother, then you shouldn’t have forgotten what I told you before. You are the princess of the royal family and my little sister. You should be yourself. In the future, if you want to marry someone, then marry that person you love and do whatever you want. The Northern Kingdom doesn’t need a woman to sacrifice herself. You are the princess, you are the proud daughter of the heavens…

“You’re a young lady, can’t you be more unruly, willful, and selfish? Do I need to have a woman to sacrifice with me around? Grow some brains for me, I’m about to cry from your stupidity!”

For the first time, Li Yuanqing wanted to throw a tantrum at a girl. He even slapped Zhaoyang’s head angrily.

Stupid girl, what do you mean by dying in battle and living an ignoble life? You’re only fourteen years old, how can you live like you’re forty?

She was a princess of the royal family. How could she not live as well as a young lady from an ordinary family? She was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache. If it wasn’t because of hardships, who would want to become strong?

His silly sister’s life is too tough!

“Aiyo, Brother, you hit me too hard. You really hit me until I cried…” Zhaoyang felt her nose sting. Although she had no regrets after hearing her brother’s words, she pretended to be afraid of the pain in order to hide the bitterness in her heart and yelled at Li Yuanqing.

When Li Yuanqing saw this, he could not help but call her a dumb girl in his heart. Alright, he had to stay in the Imperial City for three more days!
