I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

Disappointed?

The master said that he was very disappointed in me?

Guan Xuelan's words made Gu Xiu couldn't help but smile.

The smile was a little bitter.

There is also a sense of relief.

"Good, Gu Xiu! Master is questioning you, and you can still laugh!" Lu Qingyao shouted angrily from the side:

"Master, Gu Xiu is provoking you. He must be severely punished!"

Guan Xuelan also frowned.

But after hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "Gu Xiu, why are you laughing?"

"Disciple thought of something funny." Gu Xiu replied.

Guan Xuelan's expression suddenly turned cold: "At a time like this, you still have the mind to think about all sorts of things. Don't you really have any remorse at all?"

"Master, I want to ask you, why do I need to repent?" Gu Xiu asked.

"you……"

"Just because I didn't give my junior brother this broken bamboo pole?"

"This one……"

"Or is it because, if I remain in the sect, it will hinder my junior brother from inheriting the position of sect leader in the future?"

"You...what did you say?"

Guan Xuelan was shocked and stared at Gu Xiu in disbelief. Even Lu Qingyao beside her covered her mouth in surprise.

They didn't expect...

Gu Xiu actually brought this matter out into the open!

"Before we entered the forbidden area, Master, you promised me that if I returned safely, the position of Sect Leader would be passed on to me."

Gu Xiu spoke slowly, pulling out a jade token from his bosom: "At that time, Master, as a token of your appreciation, you also gave the Sect Leader's Jade Token to this disciple."

Guan Xuelan said calmly, "You did have the potential to succeed the Sect Leader at that time, but the current situation..."

"I'm useless, right?" Gu Xiu asked with a smile.

Guan Xuelan frowned slightly.

"You know you're useless, so how dare you still cling to this master's jade token?" Lu Qingyao didn't have so many concerns and directly scolded him:

"You're no different from a scabby dog."

"Qingyao, shut up!" Guan Xuelan scolded immediately.

"Master, I have to say something even if you scold me this time!" Lu Qingyao got angry and continued to scold Gu Xiu:

"Gu Xiu, do you think the Qingxuan Holy Land today is still the Qingxuan Sect of the past? Do you think you are still qualified to inherit the Qingxuan Holy Land now?"

"You are just a useless person. Your cultivation, talent, and foundation are all wasted! Now, even a low-ranking casual cultivator can kill you at will!"

"Can't you really see the situation clearly?"

"Don't you know that your best fate is to die in battle in a forbidden area, becoming a hero remembered by all?"

"I said, shut up!" Guan Xuelan finally couldn't help it and started scolding again.

This time.

She used the pressure of a Mahayana cultivator.

Lu Qingyao, a mere Jindan, offered no resistance at all and was instantly suppressed to the point where she couldn't speak, but her eyes were still fixed on Gu Xiu with resentment.

Facing this gaze, Gu Xiu suddenly understood.

original.

Is that because of this?

Guan Xuelan glanced at Gu Xiu, hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly, "Gu Xiu, what your junior sister said was indeed a bit unpleasant to hear..."

"Master, I feel that Junior Sister's words are like the loud bell of Huang Lu, awakening the deaf and inspiring deep thoughts." Gu Xiu said softly.

Look up again.

His eyes swept over the three people present one by one.

Meet his gaze.

Jiang Xun still looked as apologetic as ever, while Lu Qingyao looked him in the eye without hesitation, with undisguised resentment in her eyes.

As for Guan Xuelan.

Her eyes were as indifferent as water.

Gu Xiu smiled, and the last trace of nostalgia in his eyes had completely disappeared. At this moment, he said softly:

"In fact, I have always planned that after Junior Brother Jiang advances to the Golden Core stage and becomes qualified to succeed the Sect Master, I will sacrifice my life and forcibly remove the shackles of the Sect Master Jade Plate."

This made Guan Xuelan a little surprised.

Lu Qingyao snorted coldly.

He looked as if he didn't believe Gu Xiu's nonsense.

Gu Xiu didn't expect them to believe him, so he smiled again and said:

"But now, my thoughts have changed."

"Disciple, cherish your life."

Ok?

These words made Guan Xuelan frown instantly.

Even Jiang Xun.

There was a moment when a hint of resentment and anger appeared in their eyes.

Gu Xiu ignored their gazes and just handed over the paper that had already been written in his hand.

"What is this...?" Guan Xuelan frowned.

But then Gu Xiu said, "Abandon the spiritual covenant!"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Xuelan's outstretched hand

Trembled slightly.

He raised his head and looked at Gu Xiu. For the first time, a look other than indifference appeared in his eyes: "Are you going to abandon the sect?"

"Yes." Gu Xiu nodded.

"Once this spiritual contract of abandoning the sect is signed, the disciple will automatically leave the sect and will no longer have any connection with the Qingxuan Holy Land."

"Naturally, the bond that was established between me and the Sect Master's Jade Plate will also be severed. This will also save you, Sect Master Guan, from having to worry about the Sect Master's Jade Plate."

Guan Xuelan and the other two all looked incredulous at this moment.

Although the Abandoning Sect Spiritual Covenant is only used by disciples who have left the sect, generally speaking, few people will use this thing.

Because once the spiritual contract of abandoning the sect is signed.

It means.

All grievances between the signer and the sect will be severed, and there will be no more ties between them. Even the relationship of worship will be completely cut off. No matter what the future of the sect holds, they will no longer be involved.

Even if ordinary people really want to quit the sect, they will not sign this. They will retain some feelings of loyalty and fellow clan members.

After being surprised, Lu Qingyao was the first to show excitement. Jiang Xun hid it a little deeper, but still couldn't help showing a bit of surprise.

This annoying person is finally leaving!

only……

Guan Xuelan frowned and looked at Gu Xiu dissatisfiedly: "Is this your way of resisting?"

"Resist?" Gu Xiu was puzzled.

"You know I won't agree, yet you still take out this thing. If that's not resistance, what is it?" Guan Xuelan asked coldly:

"Do you think that I have punished you too harshly?"

"Still feel that the sect has treated you unfairly?"

"I have to say, your tactic of retreating to advance is quite powerful!"

Gu Xiu was confused: "Retreat to advance?"

"Isn't it true? Do you think I'm a fool or a blind man?" Guan Xuelan sneered:

"As a core disciple of our sect, and a hero of the Qingxuan Holy Land, you are well known to the outside world. You know very well that if you leave the sect, it will inevitably lead to criticism from the world, and people will accuse the Qingxuan Holy Land of being ungrateful."

"If you are not threatening me by taking out this Abandoned Sect Spiritual Covenant now, then what is your purpose?"

hiss--!

These words made Lu Qingyao look at Gu Xiu with even more disgust.

I originally thought that this junior brother had learned his lesson.

did not expect.

He is so scheming!

He actually wanted to threaten the sect in this way!

Damn it!!!

As for Gu Xiu, he was also a little surprised, although he had no expectations of this master since Guan Xuelan came to question him.

But I really didn’t expect it.

After I took out the Abandoned Sect Spiritual Covenant, the first thing my master thought of was this?

"Master is truly extremely intelligent." Gu Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

"Humph!" Guan Xuelan snorted coldly:

"Although your behavior over the past three years has disappointed me greatly, I still harbor a glimmer of hope for you. I never imagined that your jealousy would be so deep."

"In that case, you don't need to be tortured in the water dungeon. Instead, go to the Cliff of Repentance and spend three years there reflecting on your mistakes today."

Gu Xiu didn't move.

Guan Xuelan frowned: "Are you still dissatisfied?"

"Disciple wishes to leave Qingxuan Holy Land, and I hope Sect Master Guan will grant my wish."

Seeing that Gu Xiu was still so persistent, Guan Xuelan's eyes flashed with lightning: "Do you still want to continue threatening me?"

The terrifying pressure of the Mahayana period came over.

Even Gu Xiu couldn't help but stagger.

Almost fell to the ground.

but……

Gu Xiu didn’t kneel!

On the contrary, he withstood this terrifying pressure and slowly bowed:

"I hope Sect Master Guan will help me!"

"Do you think that I am someone you can control?" Guan Xuelan was furious, and her pressure was even greater.

The powerful force made Gu Xiu's bones creak and his chest felt heavy. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

As if this wasn't enough, Guan Xuelan snorted again.

Gu Xiu felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his white hair fell down like a waterfall.

But he.

Still not kneeling!!!

He only took a half step back, his waist still as straight as a javelin. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and repeated the words loudly:

"I hope Sect Master Guan will help me!"

"You..." Guan Xuelan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but in the end, she snorted coldly:

"good very good."

"You are fine!"

After he finished speaking, the huge pressure dissipated, and Gu Xiu felt relieved, but he couldn't help but spit out blood again.

However, Gu Xiu no longer cared about so many things at this moment.

Because he saw that Guan Xuelan really picked up the spiritual contract of the abandoned sect, and then transformed it into a shape with her energy and wrote Guan Xuelan's name on it.

When only the last stroke was left, Guan Xuelan glanced at Gu Xiu with a cold expression:

"If you think that I am someone who can be schemed against and threatened by anyone."

"Then you are wrong!"

"I will ask one more question."

"you……"

"Are you really going to abandon your sect?"

What's there to hesitate about?

According to the developments in the illusion, this sect was the cage that trapped him and the devil's den that sucked his blood and marrow!

There was naturally no hesitation at this moment, and he immediately shouted again:

"I hope Sect Master Guan will help me!!!"

This time, it was Guan Xuelan who hesitated for a moment, but seeing Gu Xiu's hopeful look, she finally made up her mind and put the final stroke in place.

moment!

The spiritual covenant of abandoning the sect, which was originally just written on an ordinary white paper, instantly burst into a golden light after Guan Xuelan signed her name. Then it slowly rose into the sky above the Qingxuan Holy Land, and a law of heaven and earth emerged.

Gu Xiu could feel that something seemed to be peeled off from his body.

That is the power of luck bestowed upon him by the sect.

As the power of the sect's luck was stripped away, the sect leader's jade token in Gu Xiu's hand also flew out in an instant.

It fell into Guan Xuelan's hands.

Gu Xiu has already abandoned the sect, so naturally he is no longer qualified to inherit the sect.

In the eyes of the sect disciples, this scene was a great opportunity, but in the eyes of Gu Xiu.

This stripped...

It's shackles!

He did not feel reluctant at all, but instead felt more relaxed than ever before.

The tiger sits in the mountains and listens to the wind howling, while the dragon lies in the shallows and waits for the tide!

now.

The wind has come, the tide has arrived!

The tiger returns to the mountains and the dragon returns to the sea!

Ahead...

It's a smooth road!!!

"Thank you, Sect Master Guan, for your help!"

Gu Xiu immediately bowed again and said loudly:

"According to the sect's rules, those who abandon the sect should return the sect's magic weapons and abandon the sect's mental methods. Fortunately, I returned all the magic weapons given by the sect three years ago. As for my cultivation, it has long been abandoned."

"Now, we are even, so let's say goodbye today!"

After saying that, Gu Xiu turned around and left.

No more nostalgia.

Seeing Gu Xiu leaving, Lu Qingyao and Jiang Xun finally reacted. Lu Qingyao's face was full of excitement, and she was full of excitement as she looked at Gu Xiu's departing back.

Jiang Xun needed to be more restrained. He looked embarrassed at this moment: "Master, Senior Brother Gu was just confused for a moment, we..."

"Don't mention this matter again!" Guan Xuelan waved her hand, her attitude extremely cold:

"If he wants to threaten me, then let him know what's happening."

"I never accept threats from anyone!"

"Pass the order."

"From now on, Gu Xiu and my Qingxuan Holy Land will no longer have any connection. All disciples are not allowed to provide any assistance or protection to Gu Xiu in any form."

"I'd like to see it."

"Having lost the protection of the Qingxuan Holy Land, how will Gu Xiu survive?"

"..."

The voice of these words was so loud that Gu Xiu, who had just walked out of the mountain gate, could hear them clearly.

but.

He just smiled.

He turned around and took one last look at the mountain gate of Qingxuan Holy Land, and finally looked away.

I hope this farewell will be forever.

As for the wrong path ahead...

Without him.

Just step over it!

When Gu Xiu completely left the mountain gate, in the Wentian Pavilion of Qingxuan Holy Land, a beautiful woman wearing a black robe and with picturesque eyebrows and eyes appeared.

Suddenly he vomited blood.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her beautiful eyes were filled with shock:

"what happened?"

"The blessing that has been blessing the sect for five hundred years..."

"Why..."

"Suddenly dissipated?"

"Zongmen, have you done something that deserves heaven's punishment?"
