No More Playing with You—Leaving the Sect! Han Yu: So What If We Start Our Own Faction!

"Let them calm down first. They're still angry right now, so nothing we say will help."

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his aching brow.

A trace of resolve flashed through his eyes.

"Our top priority is to send someone to Shrek Academy immediately and bring Rongrong back to me!

No matter what, she must personally apologize to Yu'er and beg for his forgiveness!"

Elsewhere, Han Yu and Gu Rong had already left the vicinity of the Main Hall.

As they walked, Gu Rong patted Han Yu's shoulder and sighed.

"Good grandson, don't take it to heart.

Once we've hunted your fifth Soul Ring, Grandpa will take you around the continent. What kind of good girl can't we find?"

Han Yu stopped and turned around, looking at Gu Rong with calm seriousness.

"Grandpa, I'm not angry. I thought long and hard before breaking off the engagement."

After awakening the memories of his previous life.

And considering the impression Ning Rongrong had given him over the past few years.

Even without this incident.

He still would not have honored that marriage contract.

"That's good. As long as you're not angry."

Gu Rong sighed in relief.

Han Yu took a deep breath and said in a low voice,

"Grandpa, I want to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Gu Rong nodded and said carelessly,

"Grandpa knows. Let's pack up and head to the Star Dou Forest—"

"I'm not talking about hunting a Soul Ring."

Han Yu interrupted Gu Rong and stared directly into his eyes, speaking each word with deliberate clarity.

"I mean completely leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

And... I hope you'll come with me."

Gu Rong froze.

Completely leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

He had spent most of his life in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and could be considered one of its guardian deities. This was no small matter.

"Yu'er, are you serious?"

Gu Rong's carefree expression vanished, and he frowned slightly.

"Leaving the sect isn't child's play.

Although Fengzhi and that Old Scoundrel truly acted disgracefully today, but..."

"Grandpa, I'm perfectly clear-headed."

Han Yu's voice was calm, yet it carried an icy detachment that seemed to see through everything.

"Have you still not seen through Sect Master Ning?

In his eyes, I'm nothing more than a high-level fighter with twin Ultimate Martial Souls, a tool meant to pave the way for his daughter."

"Once my dignity clashes with Ning Rongrong's willfulness.

He does not hesitate to make me suffer, even using his status as an elder to morally coerce me.

If I stay here, I'll forever be an outsider who can be sacrificed at any time."

Gu Rong fell silent.

He had a fiery temper, but he was far from foolish.

Ning Fengzhi's calculations and evasions just now had been plain for him to see.

Han Yu looked at Gu Rong, his tone softening somewhat.

"Besides, Grandpa, did you reach the peak of level 96 because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

No. It was because I led you to that opportunity.

In the future, I can help you rise even higher."

"If I leave alone, Ning Fengzhi will definitely use you to restrain me. He may even invoke the sect's greater good to force you to come after me.

I don't want you caught in the middle, unable to choose either side."

Han Yu took a deep breath and looked straight into Gu Rong's eyes.

"In this world, you're the only one who has ever truly treated me well.

If you're willing, then from now on, the two of us can soar freely beneath the open sky. I'll build a power that rivals the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect myself.

If you can't bear to leave the sect, I won't force you. We can part ways here."

Hearing Han Yu's resolute words.

And recalling how Chen Xin had actually released his sword intent pressure against Han Yu over such trivial nonsense.

The hesitation in Gu Rong's eyes was instantly replaced by savage fury.

"Bullshit!

What parting ways?"

Gu Rong slapped the nearby tree with one palm.

The impact shook leaves down in a rustling shower as he cursed,

"That Old Scoundrel is even willing to bully the young with his status, and Fengzhi is nothing but schemes from head to toe!

I've long grown sick of this damn sect!"

"Good grandson, you're right!

The two of us have strength and opportunities. Where can't we walk with our heads held high?"

Gu Rong burst into hearty laughter, his eyes brimming with arrogance.

"Let's go!

We won't even pack our things. We're heading down the mountain right now!

I want to see whether the two of us will live even more freely without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

At last, a genuine smile appeared on Han Yu's taut face.

"Alright, Grandpa. Let's go."

Gu Rong was a decisive man. Once he had made up his mind, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

He casually pulled an Elder Token from his robes, the symbol of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's highest authority.

Without a shred of reluctance, he tossed it into the roadside grass like garbage.

"Let's go!"

Gu Rong laughed and slashed through the air with his fingertips.

A pitch-black spatial rift instantly formed.

Gu Rong grabbed Han Yu and stepped inside. Their figures completely vanished from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Half a day later, on the official road leading to the Star Dou Forest.

An old man and a young man walked side by side.

"Good grandson, leaving like that felt incredible!"

Gu Rong took a swig of wine.

His face was full of gloating amusement.

"Tell me, when Fengzhi finds out that I threw away even my Elder Token—

And left the sect completely without even saying goodbye, what kind of expression will that old face of his have?

His guts will probably turn green with regret!"

Han Yu looked calm and chuckled softly.

"He's probably busy sending people to Shrek Academy to bring back his precious daughter right now.

He's preparing to put on some tearful show about a prodigal daughter returning to the right path for me.

By the time he realizes you really left, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will probably be turned upside down."

"Whether it turns upside down or not, it has nothing to do with us anymore!"

Gu Rong waved a hand, then leaned closer with curiosity.

"By the way, Yu'er, you said earlier that you wanted to build a power no weaker than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Have you already made plans?

Where are we going first?"

"First, naturally, we'll go to the Star Dou Forest and secure my fifth Soul Ring."

A sharp gleam flashed through Han Yu's eyes, and his tone was certain.

"Once I officially break through to Soul King and my strength rises another level.

Grandpa, we'll make a trip to Heaven Dou Imperial City."

"Heaven Dou Imperial City?"

Gu Rong paused.

"What are we going there for?

Heaven Dou City is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's power base, and Fengzhi is also the Crown Prince's teacher.

Wouldn't we just be asking for trouble by going there?"

"The most dangerous places often hold the most opportunities."

A cold curve touched Han Yu's lips.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can throw its weight around in the Heaven Dou Empire only because of its wealth and support abilities.

But in this world, a strong fist is what truly matters."

Han Yu stopped and looked at Gu Rong.

"Grandpa, the immortal herbs in my possession are not limited to the one I gave you.

In Heaven Dou City, there are plenty of clans and geniuses troubled by flaws in their Martial Souls or suppressed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As long as we can throw out stakes great enough to change their destinies..."

Gu Rong's eyes lit up. He instantly understood Han Yu's meaning and slapped his thigh.

"Good kid!

You want to poach people right under Fengzhi's nose and build a new foundation!"

"It's more than just building a new foundation."

Han Yu gazed toward the Star Dou Forest. His voice was not loud, yet it carried absolute confidence and wild arrogance.

"I want Ning Fengzhi to watch with his own eyes.

How the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect he is so proud of.

Will be trampled beneath the feet of the person he forced away, step by step."

"Hahahahaha!

Good!

That's ambition!

Just as expected of my grandson, Gu Rong's grandson!"

Gu Rong threw back his head and laughed, as though the blood throughout his body had begun to boil.

"Let's go!

Grandpa will take you hunting Soul Beasts now!

No matter what sect you intend to build, these old bones of mine will be your strongest support!"
