Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 466
Chapter 466: Disciple, Please Spare Me (1)
As a prominent sect in the cultivation world, the Qiyang Sect held an extraordinary status.
After the founder patriarch Tai Heng ascended, he left behind a supreme spiritual vein and numerous treasures of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, a great upheaval later struck the cultivation world, causing the once-abundant spiritual energy to gradually thin, making the path of immortality slow and arduous.
In subsequent years, Qiyang Sect managed to produce only a few Nascent Soul cultivators and a single Void Refinement expert.
Its reputation and status diminished greatly.
If not for the sect’s deep foundation and the formation left behind by Patriarch Tai Heng, it might have long been divided and consumed by other sects.
At this moment, within the Qiyang Sect, three disciples under True Immortal Su Yi’s tutelage were fervently accusing their junior brother of his alleged misconduct.
Senior disciple Zhao He spoke indignantly, “Master, Yan Rong is incorrigible! Stealing spiritual herbs last time was bad enough, but now he’s even targeting the sect’s cultivation method. You must discipline him severely.”
The second disciple lowered his head and pleaded, “Master, although the cultivation method isn’t something of great importance, we questioned Junior Brother, and he outright refused to hand it over. We truly hate to trouble you again, but he was just punished recently, and now this… Please, Master, see clearly.”
The third disciple knelt directly, spitting as he spoke, “Master, I know Junior Brother’s spiritual root is damaged now, and he must feel some resentment in his heart. But back then, out of great compassion, you took him under your wing. Is this how he repays our Xueling Peak? It’s truly disheartening.”
The three spoke one after another as if the junior disciple, Yan Rong, was utterly disgraceful and of vile character.
However, Shen Mubai knew very well what was truly going on.
Due to collapse factors in this world, the male protagonist Yan Rong’s fate had taken an unknown deviation. As a child, his parents sent him to the Qiyang Sect because of his promising spiritual root, where he was accepted as an inner disciple by True Immortal Yuan Ling.
Within a year, he successfully built his foundation.
Yuan Ling thought he had gained a genius disciple and was quite proud.
However, not long after, Yan Rong followed his senior brothers and sisters down the mountain for training.
During an accident, his spiritual root was severely damaged, leaving him nearly crippled.
Seeing this, Yuan Ling made a decision.
Instead of wasting a large amount of resources on a disciple unlikely to recover, it was better to abandon him.
Since Yan Rong was originally just a mortal, Yuan Ling simply left him to fend for himself.
One day, Yuan Ling quarreled with True Immortal Su Yi, with whom he had a long-standing grudge.
Combining old grievances with new ones, Yuan Ling suggested during a sect meeting that Yan Rong be transferred to Xueling Peak as True Immortal Su Yi, Liu Yue’s disciple, framing it as a benevolent act.
(T/N: Su Yi is her title and her name is Liu Yuezhen)
The sect master, noticing Xueling Peak had few disciples, agreed.
Liu Yuezhen was furious, but despite her indignation, this decision was set in stone.
When Yuan Ling handed over Yan Rong, he even included a bottle of mid-grade pills, claiming that while Yan Rong’s spiritual root was damaged, it wasn’t beyond recovery, and the pills were a small gesture of goodwill.
Liu Yuezhen was even more enraged, knowing mid-grade pills were virtually useless and meant only as a superficial act.
No one would be pleased to take on such a burden, and Liu Yuezhen vented her frustrations on Yan Rong, ignoring him entirely.
Her three disciples seized this opportunity, starting with minor bullying but escalating into framing and severe mistreatment.
