Master’s Plan to Revitalize the Demon Sect with Beautiful Girls - Chapter 66



Chapter 66: Parting Ways, No Reunion in Sight

The back mountain of the Qingshan Sect was a place specifically used for punishment.

Now, Wanzhu was confined in the back mountain, unable to leave without permission.

This confinement could last for years, maybe ten years, or even decades.

But this was indeed the punishment Wanzhu deserved, as the saying goes, “A father’s fault for not teaching his son.”

Wan Ruicai had directly or indirectly caused the deaths of countless people, and in the end, he chose to protect such a son.

“Ha…” With a sigh, he expressed all his exhaustion.

Wanzhu’s body had been partially corroded from long-term contact with the corpse tree, and that half of his body might never heal.

Moreover, Zhishi had not held back during their fight. If it weren’t for Lin Qingxue’s plea, he would have been dead by now.

But the only thing he was spared was his life.

He looked at the scenery outside the cliff, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.

He probably made many mistakes, not just this choice, but many things he had done long ago.

“Master, I am ready to leave Qingshan Sect.” Lin Qingxue knelt behind Wanzhu and said in a deep voice.

Wanzhu said faintly, “In that case, you will be reviled by everyone.”

Joining a sect and then wanting to leave it is not an easy thing.

Because you have learned too much from this sect and know too many secrets of the sect.

Moreover, an unfaithful disciple will not be accepted by other sects.

Leaving a sect is a thankless task.

It is even more likely that Qingshan Sect will forcibly prevent Lin Qingxue from leaving.

“I am mentally prepared.” Lin Qingxue paused and replied.

She knew very well that leaving a sect was never something that could be done just by saying it.

The matters involved are too complicated, especially for an inner disciple like her, leaving Qingshan Sect is extremely difficult.

“You have to defeat an elder and then abolish your cultivation.” Wanzhu said calmly, “This is the condition for an inner disciple to leave Qingshan Sect. Do you think you can do it?”

Although the elder would not use full strength, it is still not an easy task.

And the more cruel thing is undoubtedly the latter, abolishing one’s cultivation is a fatal blow to a cultivator.

Lin Qingxue spent more than ten years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, how much time and resources would it take to return to the Foundation Establishment stage after abolishing it?

In this way, how many years would it take for her to reach the Core Formation stage?

There are thousands of cultivators in the world, but even in this area of Baicheng, there are only more than thirty Core Formation stage cultivators.

There is even only one Nascent Soul stage cultivator, who was recently killed.

“I will do my best.” Lin Qingxue said in a deep voice, her determination at this moment was far greater than Wanzhu had imagined.

She was willing to abolish her cultivation to see what this cultivation world was really like and to learn the true way of cultivation.

“Are you very disappointed in Qingshan Sect?” Wanzhu asked abruptly.

“Disciple does not dare.” Lin Qingxue replied politely, but her tone had already said it all.

Disappointment—she was not only very disappointed in Qingshan Sect, but she was also disappointed in herself.

“Qingxue, am I also a disappointment to you?” Wanzhu asked, still facing away from Lin Qingxue.

“I have never felt that Master has disappointed me.” Lin Qingxue said seriously, “Perhaps from now on, our master-disciple relationship will be severed, but I will always remember what you taught me.”

She now understood that Wanzhu was not a very upright person, Wanzhu had done countless dirty things, always contrary to the term “righteous sect.”

But the righteous principles she learned from Wanzhu were deeply remembered in her heart.

Those were not wrong principles, they could even be said to be the pillars that supported her to act chivalrously for so many years.

“Is that so… the things I taught you.” Wanzhu murmured.

The wind on the back mountain of Qingshan Sect was particularly cold.

Facing the gust of wind, Wanzhu felt as if his face was being cut by a knife, even though his cultivation should have prevented him from feeling the cold.

“Are you looking for the Tianyan Sect?” he sighed and asked.

In fact, he already knew the answer to this question.

Although he didn’t know the specific reason, Lin Qingxue had made up her mind to leave, and he had no right to stop her.

A lot of things might have happened while he was unconscious.

Those were things that he, as a master, didn’t know about, things that could change a person’s entire perspective.

Indeed, after witnessing the malice of the Heavenly Dao, Lin Qingxue had developed significant doubts about what was right and what was wrong.

She had always tied righteousness and evil to the sect, but in reality, righteousness and evil were always personal matters.

People from the Qingshan Sect were not necessarily righteous.

People from the Tianyan Sect were not necessarily evil.

Just as there were people like Wan Rui who refined pills with human blood, there would also be people who wielded a sword to cut down malice for the sake of the common people.

“Yes.” After a long time, Lin Qingxue mustered the courage to voice her decision.

“Before you officially join their sect, keep it quiet,” Wanzhu said earnestly. “Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave the Qingshan Sect, let alone Baicheng.”

He knew better than anyone how important face was to these righteous people.

“I will remember your teachings, Master,” Lin Qingxue replied gratefully after a slight pause.

Wanzhu took out a token from his clothes and threw it to Lin Qingxue. “Even though I am imprisoned here, I am still an elder.”

“Give this elder token to the main hall and say that I vouch for you as an elder.”

“In this way, you won’t have to challenge an elder and abolish your cultivation to leave the Qingshan Sect.”

Wanzhu’s voice sounded very old, as if he had aged decades.

It wasn’t just his voice. When Lin Qingxue arrived, she noticed that Wanzhu’s hair was already white.

He had aged, but it wasn’t physical aging; it was the aging of his state of mind.

Turning white overnight was not a common occurrence. If it happened to ordinary people, it was even more so for cultivators whose appearance was shaped by their hearts.

Lin Qingxue caught the token, which was extremely important to an elder, and after a moment of silence, she quickly said, “Thank you, Master.”

“This should be the last time you call me Master,” Wanzhu said quietly, never once turning to face Lin Qingxue.

He didn’t dare to look at his disciple because he felt guilty and ashamed.

He had taught Lin Qingxue countless principles about being upright and helping the weak, but he had never been able to set an example himself.

Compared to him, Lin Qingxue was more like a true cultivator of a prestigious sect, more like a hero.

In his eyes now, he was nothing more than a fame-seeker.

“Master, until I leave the Qingshan Sect, you will always be my master,” Lin Qingxue said, bowing deeply to the despondent Wanzhu.

She put the token in her hand and silently left the cliff.

Lin Qingxue came here to bid farewell to her master.

This farewell might be the last, with no future meetings in sight.
