After Being Expelled From the Sect, the Master and Senior Sisters Regretted It for Life

Chapter 1:

– Xuanzhuang Mountain, Azure Purity Sect, Judgment Hall.

“Zhou Tong, you destroyed the sect’s treasured artifact. Do you admit your guilt?”

“I admit you’re an idiot!”

The young man’s gaze was like lightning. At this moment, he stood as a reborn peerless powerhouse.

In his previous life, he had been betrayed by his junior disciple, despised by his master, hated by his senior sisters, and ultimately killed by their joint efforts.

In this life, he would show no mercy. Every debt of enmity would be repaid in full!

The one questioning him was an exceptionally beautiful female sovereign. Her white hair cascaded like a waterfall, exuding an icy nobility. She was none other than his master, Mo Liusu, one of the culprits behind his death.

Since childhood, he had been an orphan with no family, brought to the sect by Mo Liusu during her travels and taken in as her disciple.

Before him, there were five senior sisters, all with extraordinary talents and stunning beauty. Initially, they had treated him with care, but everything changed when the junior disciple, Tang Qi, joined the sect.

Tang Qi was immensely gifted, cunning, and favored by destiny. It wasn’t long before he stole the affection and attention of everyone from Zhou Tong.

From that point on, his senior sisters and master regarded Zhou Tong as worthless, treating him with disdain.

In an effort to win back their favor, Zhou Tong had gone to great lengths to please them and even tried to resist Tang Qi, only to be mercilessly suppressed by all of them.

Just like today—though it was clearly Tang Qi who had destroyed the sect’s treasure, he colluded with the fourth and fifth senior sisters to frame Zhou Tong, simply to relish his helpless struggle.

“Impudent! Is this how you speak to me?” Mo Liusu’s expression immediately turned cold.

“With witnesses and evidence present, you not only refuse to admit your crime but also dare to act disrespectfully towards your elders. Your guilt is compounded! Kneel immediately!”

A powerful aura surged forward, pressing down on Zhou Tong’s shoulders.

“Crack… crack…”

The sound of grinding bones emanated from Zhou Tong’s body as he bore the immense pressure. Yet, he stood tall and straight.

This sight shocked the crowd. Zhou Tong was already injured, and this was tantamount to enduring a brutal torture.

However, Zhou Tong’s face held a cold smile as his piercing gaze locked onto Mo Liusu. “Hearsay is unreliable, and you seek to force a confession without concrete evidence. To you, I’m just a puppet to trample on at will!”

“Everything you’ve done is shamelessly shielding your favorite disciple. You’re utterly unworthy to be my master!”

Mo Liusu’s expression froze. Meeting his gaze, she couldn’t help but shudder.

The Zhou Tong she knew had always been timid and eager to please her. At this moment, he should be begging her forgiveness with a pitiful face.

Yet, the thought only fueled her anger further.

“What is that supposed to mean? Are you implying that Tang Qi and your senior sisters would lie? They are nothing like you—lowly and deceitful. Who are you trying to fool with this act?”

“If defiance is how you wish to express your dissatisfaction with me, then let me make one thing clear. Before Tang Qi, you are nothing!”

Mo Liusu increased the pressure of her aura, causing the bones in Zhou Tong’s body to creak as if they were about to snap.

“Master, please forgive Senior Brother just this once. He might be overwhelmed with fear and jealousy of the affection everyone shows me, which is why he falsely accused me,” Tang Qi suddenly interjected, speaking with false sincerity.

Upon seeing him, Zhou Tong’s pupils contracted sharply.

This man, outwardly pure and kind, was in truth malicious and cunning. He cultivated demonic techniques, seeking to sacrifice all living beings to achieve his ambitions.

In the end, he succeeded—massacring the Azure Purity Sect, turning the five senior sisters into puppets, and even imprisoning Mo Liusu as his plaything.

These were the scenes Zhou Tong witnessed as a wandering soul after his death in his previous life. Back then, his heart was filled with bitter satisfaction.

“Tang Qi, you’re too kind-hearted. That’s why vile people dare to frame you. You don’t need to plead for him. Today, I’ll ensure he receives the punishment he deserves,” Mo Liusu said with a rare smile, a smile that openly displayed her favoritism.

“Master, please don’t. Senior Brother was merely confused for a moment. Please give him a chance to reform,” Tang Qi pleaded passionately, kneeling before Mo Liusu.

He seemed to be begging for Zhou Tong’s forgiveness, but in reality, he was solidifying the accusations against him.

“Fine, for your sake, I’ll spare this wretch just this once,” Mo Liusu relented slightly, her expression softening before glaring at Zhou Tong. “Hurry up and thank your junior brother! You’re utterly ungrateful—taking you in was a mistake!”

Hearing this, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

“What a pure and noble master! Over the years, haven’t I done all the dirty and laborious tasks for the sect? Without my efforts, you wouldn’t have your lofty position outside the secular world!”

“As for you, ever since I became your disciple, you’ve never fulfilled your duties as a master. All you’ve done is indulge your disciples in targeting and humiliating me. From start to finish, I owe you nothing!”

“How dare you speak so insolently? You’re nothing but an ungrateful wretch!”

The two senior sisters standing as witnesses reprimanded him in unison, their eyes filled with ridicule. Today, this trash was destined to face disaster. This was the price for competing with their junior brother for affection!

Mo Liusu was equally furious. “I brought you back from the wilderness and saved you from a life of wandering. That alone is a tremendous grace. Yet you dare harbor resentment? Such ingratitude! What use do I have for you?”

“This is your final chance. Kneel and apologize to your junior brother. Accept your punishment, and today’s matter will end here!”

Hearing these words, Zhou Tong felt his blood boil. Though he had resolved to sever all ties, his chest tightened with suppressed rage, and his breath became unstable.

“I’ve already said it was Tang Qi who deliberately destroyed the treasure to frame me. I will not bear this baseless accusation!”

“Fine! Since you remain obstinate and dare slander Tang Qi, don’t blame me for invoking the Heart Inquiry Judgment!”

At these words, the surrounding elders’ expressions changed.

“Master, this must not be! Even if Zhou Tong has erred, he’s still one of the sect’s most outstanding disciples and has made significant contributions. Perhaps a lighter punishment would suffice…”

“There’s no need for further discussion. My decision is final!”

Mo Liusu waved her hand. A streak of light shot into the sky, instantly stirring wind and thunder. An image of the Judgment Hall appeared in the heavens.

“Look! It’s a public trial by the Azure Purity Sect!”

An elder exclaimed in shock. The sect was known for its strict discipline, and public trials were conducted to punish disciples who committed severe offenses.

To face a public trial was to be branded as a sinner, marked for life with disgrace and contempt.

Because of the gravity of such punishment, the enforcing elder would also bear the responsibility. In the days to come, their actions would be revealed to the heavens, ensuring their conscience was clear.

“Who could have committed such a grave offense to warrant this spectacle?”

Many onlookers were curious. When Zhou Tong’s face appeared in the projection, gasps erupted.

“It’s him!”

“My goodness, isn’t that the champion of the Hundred Sects Tournament?”

“I know him—Zhou Tong, a prodigy among prodigies. The Azure Purity Sect is truly ruthless!”

As if anticipating the crowd’s reactions, Mo Liusu’s voice rang out through the projection.

“Talent means nothing if one’s morals are corrupted. Such individuals are mere trash!”

She then announced Zhou Tong’s punishment.

“Zhou Tong, for destroying the sect’s treasure and slandering your junior brother, your crimes are unforgivable. I sentence you to one hundred lashes with the Divine Whip and three years of kneeling in repentance on the Cliff of Reflection!”

The elders couldn’t help but shudder. Regardless of whether Zhou Tong was guilty, this punishment was excessively harsh!

“I object,” Zhou Tong said firmly after taking a deep breath.

“The decision has been made. Even if you beg for mercy, it’s too late. I won’t reduce your punishment,” Mo Liusu replied coldly.

“According to sect rules, I should be stripped of my cultivation and expelled!” Zhou Tong enunciated each word clearly, leaving Mo Liusu momentarily stunned.

“Elders, please uphold justice. Since I’ve been falsely accused of such crimes, bear witness today as I sever all ties with Mo Liusu and leave the sect!”

“What did you say? You want to break the master-disciple bond with me?”

Mo Liusu glared down at him, her entire being exuding an intensely chilling aura!
