Don't Even Think About Going After Senior Brother Xinghe!

Chu Xinghe had no idea how irritable the Grand Elder was at this moment; all Chu Xinghe knew was to thank God for this blessing!

Thank you to all the elders for the wonderful performance...

I, Chu Xinghe, am submitting this under my real name. Thank you everyone...

Because... at this moment, the Misfortune Compass is spinning rapidly!

Although being stripped of his title as a direct disciple and losing the grand prize of expulsion from the sect was painful, this time it was a real punishment.

The increase in Spirit Power brought by the Misfortune Compass directly raised Chu Xinghe's cultivation level to the peak of the Sixth Rank, almost reaching the Seventh Rank.

He is now only one step away from becoming Seventh Rank Martial Saint.

However, Chu Xinghe knew that the real nightmare difficulty began at the Subordinate Seventh Rank.

For cultivators in the first Seventh Ranks, with sufficient talent and resources, it is indeed possible to reach this realm in a very short time.

But it becomes difficult after the Seventh Rank. It's quite normal for even many exceptional geniuses to be stuck at the Seventh Rank for their entire lives.

Even many so-called strongest Lineage are only at the Seventh Rank.

Take the Great Moon Kingdom, for example. It's a fairly powerful nation, with the support of two elders from the Cloud Firmament Sect. Yet, it only produced one Eighth Rank.

The path of cultivation is like climbing a mountain. If the first Seventh Ranks are considered the beginning, then the path after the Seventh Rank is truly hellish.

Of all the missions in the Misfortune Compass, apart from epic-level missions like destroying a sect or being expelled from a sect, the others at most allow you to reach the Seventh Rank.

Therefore, after reaching the Seventh Rank, unless one actually completes an epic quest, one can only accumulate achievements little by little.

If he only causes the sect to suffer minor losses on a daily basis, Chu Xinghe calculated... he has a chance to become Martial Emperor within two hundred years...

Listen to this... two hundred years... do you think I can wait that long?

If you want to improve extremely quickly, you still have to recklessly court disaster... you have to consume sect resources like crazy...

As for the legendary Martial Divine Realm, Chu Xinghe forgot about it... If the sect wasn't destroyed, he would never have the chance to reach it in his lifetime.

It's not that I don't want to cultivate properly, it's just that the conditions don't allow it... After this Misfortune Compass turned for the first time, my cultivation limit was sealed. Unless I complete the mission, even if I cultivate for ten thousand years, it will be impossible to break through the limit...

However, Chu Xinghe was already very satisfied with reaching the peak of the Sixth Rank this time, just one step away from becoming Seventh Rank Martial Saint.

Thank you Lucky General Ma!

Although Lucky General Ma was extremely adept at betraying himself, Lucky General Ma would still act on his conscience to some extent when he had a change of heart.

So as long as you persistently court disaster, you'll eventually reap the rewards...

Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang were expelled from the Haotian Grand Hall by a group of powerful figures. These figures were discussing how to deal with the Cloud Firmament Sect, and Chu Xinghe figured their methods were too violent for a child to hear...

As Chu Xinghe walked out of the Haotian Grand Hall, he looked at the Haotian Token and was somewhat speechless.

Just now, when I was about to leave, I wanted to hand over the Haotian Token, but the Grand Elder told me to get lost!

Therefore, the Haotian Token remained in his possession...

Um... shouldn't it be taken back according to the usual procedure?

You're giving me a chance to abuse this opportunity...

Haotian Palace, countless disciples from various palaces had already gathered. When they saw Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang walk out of the Haotian Palace, not only the disciples from other palaces, but even the disciples guarding Vast Heaven Sect surrounded them.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... how did the sect punish you?"

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... are the sect's punishments severe?"

Soon after, Ma Liang announced the results of the investigation to everyone.

When they heard that Ma Liang had been demoted to the outer sect and was forbidden from ever being promoted to an inner sect disciple, his fellow disciples congratulated Ma Liang.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, I thought you'd be locked up for three to five years... but you only got into the outer sect... Senior Brother Ma Liang is truly blessed!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Senior Brother Ma Liang, the outer sect is actually quite good, quieter than the inner sect..."

Ma Liang smiled and said that he was only able to receive such a light punishment thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe. From today onwards Ma Liang, he was an outer disciple! But please rest assured, although Ma Liang was an outer disciple, if you needed anything, you could still ask Senior Brother Ma Liang Senior Brother Ma Liang for help, and he would take care of everything clearly for you.

A group of inner disciples expressed their gratitude to Senior Brother Ma Liang for his kindness...

Chu Xinghe, listening from the side, was speechless...

Um... do you want to hear what you're saying? Ma Liang is an outer disciple, so he should be calling you senior brothers... You call Senior Brother Ma Liang without warning, is that really appropriate?

However, Chu Xinghe also knew that the punishment for Ma Liang, who had been infiltrated into the outer sect, was merely a formality. With the Fengdu Token in hand, Ma Liang's Future was assured.

Whether it's the outer gate or the inner gate, isn't it just a designation?

Ma Liang then recounted the punishment Senior Brother Xinghe had received.

When they heard that Senior Brother Xinghe had been stripped of his title as the Grand Elder's personal disciple, the disciples from all the palaces cheered excitedly!

Um... does this punishment mean that Senior Brother Xinghe might join one of our other palaces in the future?

Is it possible that Senior Brother Xinghe will come to our palace in the future?

Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, Elders!

Regardless of the reactions from the various palaces, the disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace couldn't sit still upon hearing this.

What do you mean Senior Brother Xinghe might join your respective palaces? Senior Brother Xinghe is a disciple of our Spirit Crane Palace... Although the sect leader stripped Senior Brother Xinghe of his title as the Grand Elder's personal disciple, he didn't say that Senior Brother Xinghe should leave Spirit Crane Palace, did he?

Don't even think about making a move on Senior Brother Xinghe!

In the end Chu Xinghe was forcibly taken back to the Spirit Crane Palace... Along the way, disciples from various palaces expressed their concerns, saying that Spirit Crane Palace should not go too far, as Senior Brother Xinghe is no longer the Grand Elder's personal disciple!

Spirit Crane Palace immediately suspended the medication of the disciple who made those remarks!

And he said, "Do you dare repeat what you just said to the Grand Elder? We'll see if the Grand Elder pats you on the back and that's it!"

The disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace were filled with mixed emotions regarding Senior Brother Xinghe's punishment...

Wasn't the plan to punish Senior Brother Xinghe? Why was the Grand Elder punished instead?

There's definitely a conspiracy here!

Back at the Spirit Crane Palace Spirit Crane Palace, all the fellow disciples were waiting for them.

"Senior Brother Xinghe is an integral part of our Spirit Crane Palace. No other palace should even think about taking Senior Brother Xinghe away from the Spirit Crane Palace!" Mu Bai declared his opposition to the other palaces in a formal statement!

"Thank you all for your care, senior brothers. However, I, Chu Xinghe, am no longer a direct disciple. From now on, please don't call me Senior Brother Xinghe anymore. I am just an ordinary inner disciple, and I will have to call you all Senior Brother from now on."

As soon as Chu Xinghe said this, the entire Spirit Crane Palace was filled with indignation.

Senior Brother Feng Fei had been missing for several days, burst out from the crowd, pointed at Chu Xinghe, and said, "Junior Brother Xinghe, what the hell are you talking to us about?"

People say that once you marry a wife, you forget your Junior Brother Xinghe, how could you lose face and forget your fellow disciples?

What do you mean, "Junior Brother Xinghe"? Look at how angry those junior brothers are, gritting their teeth! Do you know how much emotional damage your words just caused them?

How do you regard your fellow disciples?

Senior Brother Feng Fei, I misjudged you!

Are your many junior fellow students people who care about your status?

If anyone dares to change their status in the slightest because of your status as an ordinary inner disciple, Junior Brother Xinghe, I, Feng Fei, will be the first to petition the Grand Elder to expel them from the sect!

Many of his fellow disciples also expressed their approval of Senior Brother Feng Fei.

Soon, Chu Xinghe returned to his room. However, looking at his room, Chu Xinghe thought to himself, "I'm just an ordinary inner disciple now. It's a bit against the rules for me to live alone in this top-tier room..."

As soon as Chu Xinghe finished speaking, Senior Brother Shen Chun jumped out.

"Chu Xinghe! You need to understand your place. You're just an ordinary inner disciple now. Do you even have the right to choose a room? You want your fellow disciples to help you move to another room? No way! You can only stay here! You have absolutely no right to choose another room!"

Feng Fei agreed with Shen Chun's words and pointed at Chu Xinghe, saying that an ordinary inner disciple was not qualified to change rooms, so he should continue to stay here!

Another issue is... reducing Chu Xinghe's share of various resources?

What share will be reduced? When has my Senior Brother Xinghe ever received sect resources?

My Senior Brother Xinghe is always bringing resources to the sect, okay?

And so, Chu Xinghe, an ordinary inner disciple, discovered that although he was no longer a personal disciple... it seemed that nothing else had changed at all...

It would be a lie to say that Chu Xinghe wasn't moved by his fellow disciples' actions.

People say that when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down, but why haven't I encountered this situation at all?

Not only Spirit Crane Palace, Chu Xinghe also visited other palaces and found that not only did they not show him any disrespect, but they were even more enthusiastic than before.

Several of the head elders of the palaces, without a second thought, would mention the Xinghe... If you've been wronged at the Spirit Crane Palace, you can come here. Actually, I don't have any personal disciples yet...

It is said that that very evening, the Grand Elder severely punished these palaces for their poor hygiene and ordered them not to take a single pill from the Spirit Crane Palace until they had cleaned it to a perfect state!

But what exactly constitutes perfect hygiene? Well, the floors in each palace are so thoroughly cleaned they're practically mirror-like...

If even this doesn't pass inspection, does it mean it has to be demolished and rebuilt to pass?

Ma Liang was relegated to the outer sect. As an outer sect disciple, Ma Liang naturally had to go to the outer sect; after all, rules are rules, right?

However, the situation was slightly different when Ma Liang arrived at the outer gate.

Normally, if you heard that someone had been demoted to the outer sect, wouldn't they be subjected to all sorts of ridicule and provocation from the outer sect disciples?

Even if your cultivation level is higher than that of the outer disciples, you'll still get bullied if you go there.

And weren't all those demoted to the outer sect wiping away tears and filled with despair?

But look at Ma Liang... head held high, chest puffed out, he doesn't look like someone who's been punished and banished to the outer sect at all. Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd come here to be the leader of the outer sect!

But as it turns out, the outer disciples weren't stupid.

When Ma Liang, shrouded in the aura of the Ghost Emperor, stepped into the outer sect, all the notorious troublemakers had already lined up to welcome their Senior Brother Ma Liang...

The moment Liu Bo, the Fathead Fish, saw Ma Liang, his face lit up with a wide, almost juicy smile.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... I am Liu Bo... You can call me Xiaobo or Bobo. Senior Brother Senior Brother Ma Liang rarely comes to the outer sect, so please give me this opportunity to give Senior Brother Ma Liang a detailed introduction to the various aspects of the outer sect..."

Ma Liang nodded slightly, signaling Liu Xiaobo to begin his performance...
