Master’s Plan to Revitalize the Demon Sect with Beautiful Girls - Chapter 67
Chapter 67: From Now On, Strangers
The death of the white-bearded elder forced Qingshan Sect to choose a new leader.
However, the most competitive candidate, Wanzhu, is now confined to the back mountain.
Therefore, Qingshan Sect remains leaderless, as many elders aspire to be the next leader.
Fortunately, nothing has erupted yet, or else the elders would be overwhelmed.
“Lin Qingxue, in such a situation, you still want to leave Qingshan Sect?” Elder Yong glared at Lin Qingxue, shouting angrily.
Lin Qingxue’s action might cause many disciples to doubt the sect.
“Please, Elder, grant me this wish,” Lin Qingxue said softly, her eyes lowered.
“Good for you, Lin Qingxue! A promising talent of Qingshan Sect!” Elder Yong tightly gripped the elder token handed over by Lin Qingxue, his words filled with anger.
He knew whose token it was, and that knowledge fueled his rage.
“Qingshan Sect has treated you well, why… why… why?” After a long time, Elder Yong’s anger turned into a sigh.
Lin Qingxue did not explain her reasons, she just kept her head down.
Because she had no so-called reasons, she simply wanted to seek something she truly wished to understand.
Elder Yong looked at Lin Qingxue, shook his sleeves, and said, “Fine, abolish your cultivation yourself.”
Lin Qingxue bowed deeply to Elder Yong and said, “Thank you, Elder, for granting my wish.”
She took a deep breath and removed all her defenses. At this moment, even an ordinary person could kill her with a small knife.
Then, she shattered her own Qi Sea with a single palm strike.
The spiritual energy stored in the Qi Sea overflowed and returned to the heavens and earth.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator’s entire cultivation is in the Qi Sea.
Shattering the Qi Sea meant years of cultivation turned to nothing.
Even if the Qi Sea were to heal later, Lin Qingxue would have to start her cultivation anew, which would take a lot of time.
“Cough… cough…” Blood flowed from the corner of Lin Qingxue’s mouth, staining her clothes red.
“You… are so foolish…” Elder Yong pointed at Lin Qingxue and said.
He couldn’t understand why Lin Qingxue would pay such a high price to leave Qingshan Sect.
Even if Lin Qingxue wanted to defect to another sect, it wouldn’t have come to this.
But on second thought, everyone knew Lin Qingxue’s character, so her actions were not surprising.
Elder Yong closed his eyes. Watching a talented disciple cripple her own cultivation was a regrettable sight.
If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Qingxue might have reached the Core Formation stage before the age of thirty.
But now, by crippling her own cultivation, it meant she had lost the qualification to reach the pinnacle of the Dao.
“Lin Qingxue, you may leave,” Elder Yong said helplessly. “From now on, you are no longer a disciple of our Qingshan Sect.”
He held the token belonging to Wanzhu and turned away, not wanting to see Lin Qingxue any longer.
If Wanzhu hadn’t used his own token to intervene, he would have found a way to stop Lin Qingxue from leaving the sect.
Unfortunately, Wanzhu was willing to use his elder status as a guarantee, so he had no choice but to give up.
“Thank you,” Lin Qingxue once again bowed deeply to Elder Yong, then bowed to the ancestors in the main hall.
After bowing repeatedly, she silently left the main hall.
She had already packed her belongings. Once she stepped out of the Qingshan Sect, she would be a stranger to it.
Lin Qingxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled bitterly.
In the moment she crippled her own cultivation, she had regretted it. She wondered if what she did was worth it.
All her years of effort were wasted, and she would have to face her parents’ disappointment when she returned home.
The Lin family had high hopes for her, and they might blame her for impulsively throwing everything away.
But Lin Qingxue knew she didn’t choose this path on a whim.
After seeing He Youzhou’s few sword strikes, she understood that was the path she should take.
Whether it was that overwhelming strength or the act of saving the common people, it was what Lin Qingxue pursued.
Even if it meant wasting more time to return to the Foundation Establishment stage, she was willing.
The moment she stepped out of the main hall, she felt all the scenery suddenly become clear.
At this point, what was the point of regret?
So instead of doing something meaningless, she decided to say goodbye to the Lin family and head straight to the Tianyan Sect.

Gradually, she stopped smiling bitterly and her expression became much more serious.
Even if He Youzhou’s words about wanting to take her as a disciple were just a joke, and he never really intended to accept her, she would still join the Tianyan Sect.
“Sister Lin crippled her own cultivation and left the sect?”
“What? Why would she do that?”
“I don’t know, is it because of Elder Wan?”
“What a pity, I’ve always admired Sister Lin.”
“Are you stupid? With one less inner disciple, it means we have more opportunities.”
“Even if there are opportunities, they won’t be for you.”
As Lin Qingxue walked from the main hall to the mountain gate, she kept hearing the disciples of the Qingshan Sect discussing her.
They looked at Lin Qingxue’s frail appearance, some felt pity, while others were gloating.
However, they were all shocked, because abolishing one’s own cultivation is not a trivial matter, it requires extreme determination.
It’s like stabbing oneself in the most vulnerable place with a knife, the pain is simply unforgettable.
Lin Qingxue looked down at the familiar floor tiles for a long time, and finally stepped out of the Qingshan Sect’s gate.
The disciples guarding the gate were all stunned when they saw that the person leaving the sect was Lin Qingxue.
Only those who saw Lin Qingxue abolish her own cultivation knew that she had left the sect, the other disciples were completely unaware of this matter.
“Sister Lin, where are you going?” a guarding disciple couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Qingxue was a senior he admired, and seeing her in such a sorry state, he was a bit worried.
Due to just abolishing her cultivation, she was indeed very weak.
Along the way, she had already vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and the pain from her dantian was continuous.
If you looked closely, you could see that she was already covered in cold sweat.
“I am leaving Qingshan Sect.” Lin Qingxue smiled at the disciple, “From now on, I am no longer a disciple of Qingshan Sect.”
“Ah?” The disciple was completely stunned, “Sister, why are you leaving the sect?”
Lin Qingxue’s words sounded like a joke, no one would believe it at first.
“In order to truly uphold justice, and not deceive myself.” She said faintly, her words full of relief.
