The junior sister's rebirth and madness send the entire sect trembling in fear.

"Nan Sheng still has some things to do, so please ask Senior Li to keep this jade pendant for me for the time being."

“Okay.” Li Tianhen looked at the jade pendant, then at Si Nansheng, and put the jade pendant into his storage ring.

Si Nansheng walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down, and looked at Feng Zeyan, who remained aloof and superior, with teary eyes. She then took off the hairpin from her head and placed it on the ground, her hair falling down and draping behind her.

She untied the storage bag from her waist, took out the spirit tablet of her personal disciple, wiped away the trace of her soul power from the spirit tablet, and placed it on the ground as well.

Then, she took off her Holy Heaven Sect attire.

She was wearing nothing but a thin inner garment.

If you're going to cut ties, then you should cut them off completely.

Everyone watched Si Nansheng's actions in silence, completely unaware of what she was going to do.

"I have already paid back what I owed the Holy Heaven Sect. I will not let go of what belongs to me, and I will return everything that does not belong to me to you." Si Nansheng said as he stood up, channeling his spiritual power into his hands and forcefully grabbing at his chest!

"Si Nansheng, how dare you!" Others might not know what this gesture meant, but he understood it perfectly.

"Ah~" Si Nansheng let out a shrill scream, cold sweat instantly pouring down his forehead, his whole face contorted in pain.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw her pull a golden divine bone out of her body.

"Pfft~" Si Nansheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. His divine bone fell to the ground with a dull thud.

When Feng Zeyan saw this scene, his expression froze for a moment. Had Si Nansheng gone mad?

"Si Nansheng, are you trying to rebel?" Feng Zeyan roared.

"This is the divine bone that Sect Leader Feng asked me to nurture. Today, I will risk my life to remove it. Sect Leader Feng, I, Si Nansheng, owe your Holy Heaven Sect nothing!"

Si Nansheng stubbornly stood up, her gaze resolute as she met Feng Zeyan's eyes.

"Divine bones? Are they really divine bones?"

Looking at the divine bones on the ground, Su Heng looked at Si Nansheng in shock.

Shen Jingyuan further questioned her, "Why do you have divine bones on your body? And why are there so many cracks on them? What is your intention in pulling them out now?"

"Su Heng, Shen Jingyuan, have you ever considered that I, the useless junior sister you've always looked down upon, actually possess the aptitude of a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

Si Nansheng smiled faintly, his lips stained with blood, his eyes filled with mockery.

"How could that be? Si Nansheng, you are really shameless. You would tell any lie just to avoid being punished by your master."

Unfortunately, we're not stupid. We knew you weren't a good person, and there was no way we'd believe your lies!

Su Heng glared at Si Nansheng, his disgust growing even stronger.

“I knew you wouldn’t believe me. And rightly so, all of you have considered me a piece of trash because my cultivation has not improved at all over the years.”

"This is not your fault. In fact, Sect Master Feng had already concealed my spiritual root before I even joined the sect."

"How could this be, Master? Why would Master do this? Si Nansheng, tell me, why did you frame Master?"

Shen Jingyuan grabbed Si Nansheng's clothes and glared at her with eyes full of fury!

“I framed him? If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask him if I had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of eight, and if he placed this divine bone into my body after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage.”

Si Nansheng looked at Feng Zeyan, who was high and mighty, while Feng Zeyan was looking at her with the same gaze he used to look at a dead person.

“Si Nansheng, divine bones are rare. Even if Master placed the divine bone into your body, it must have been for your own good. How can you slander Master?” Su Hengyi looked at Si Nansheng with righteous indignation.

Looking at this hypocritical man, Si Nansheng found it laughable. She wondered how blind she must have been in her past life to think he was a good person.

"For my own good? Do you know that when this divine bone was placed into my body, it was shattered? Do you know that the divine bone was able to recover to its current state by being nourished and repaired by my top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root and spiritual power?"

Do you know that for the past five years, despite my diligent cultivation, my cultivation level has not improved at all? It's because all the spiritual energy I've cultivated has been nourishing this rotten bone!

When Si Nansheng said this, she was filled with sorrow, and tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't know if this feeling came from herself or from the original owner of the body.

When Su Heng and Shen Jingyuan looked at their master, they found his face to be pitch black, so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

They found it hard to believe; could what Si Nansheng said be true?

"Sect Master Feng, I'm returning your divine bones to you. My cultivation techniques and abilities were all learned at the Holy Heaven Sect. Now, I'm crippling my cultivation to return them to you."

As for your claim that I injured Liu Xuewei, I deny it. Wanting my spiritual root? You're dreaming! Today, I, Si Nansheng, will destroy my own spiritual root rather than let her have it!"

Si Nansheng made hand seals, but his movements were very clumsy.

Looking at her movements and recalling what she had just said, Li Tianhen instantly knew what she was going to do.

"No!" Li Tianhen's voice had barely fallen when...

A series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang out from Si Nansheng's body.

With her spiritual root destroyed and her meridians severed, the immense pressure generated by the surge of spiritual energy caused Si Nansheng to cough up several mouthfuls of blood, leaving her looking like she was on the verge of death.

Everyone stared at Si Nansheng in shock. They never expected that a twelve-year-old child could do something so resolute.

"Si Nansheng!" Feng Zeyan was furious that Si Nansheng would pull such a move. His eyes were filled with rage, and he wished he could rush over and tear Si Nansheng to pieces.

But his anger wasn't because Si Nansheng had destroyed his spiritual root, but because without Si Nansheng's water spiritual root, he couldn't repair his precious disciple's spiritual root.

"From now on, Si Nansheng is separated from the Holy Heaven Sect. My life and death have nothing to do with the Holy Heaven Sect, and the survival of the Holy Heaven Sect is also none of my business."

What I've gathered over the past few years, and the sacrifice I made to repair my divine bones, is more than enough to repay Sect Master Feng's kindness in raising me. I owe you nothing.

Covered in blood, Si Nansheng staggered, but struggled to stay upright, looking up at the people of the Holy Heaven Sect.

Want to steal her top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root and give it to Liu Xuewei to further enhance her strength? That's just a pipe dream.

Even if it meant destroying her own spiritual root, she would never let Liu Xuewei benefit from her efforts!

I will never stay in the Holy Heaven Sect to serve them like slaves!

Seeing the slightly manic smile on Si Nansheng's lips, everyone felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Is this really the kind of pressure a twelve-year-old child can put on them?

The moment Si Nansheng fell, she was caught by Li Tianhen, who took out his cloak and wrapped it tightly around her.

“Senior Li…it seems I’ve…caused you trouble…” Si Nansheng smiled at Li Tianhen before losing consciousness.

"Now that her spiritual root has been destroyed and she has lost her cultivation, she is left with only this half-dead body. She owes your Holy Heaven Sect nothing. From now on, she is my disciple, Li Tianhen."

"If I find out that anyone from the Holy Heaven Sect is bullying her again, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Li Tianhen looked at the people of the Holy Heaven Sect, said something with an icy gaze, then turned and left with Si Nansheng in his arms. Only then did the others come to their senses.
